Who Done it ? Ermine Collar Stumps Sleuths In a coed’s closet somewhere on the University campus there hangs a black formal coat with an ermine collar. It might be said that the night of the Military ball was a profit able one both for the coat or the coed since neither had an ermine collar before arriving at the Ig loo. In other words, a black formal coat without an ermine collar was left at the Igloo and a black formal coat with an ermine col lar has been reported missing. Anyone knowing anything about any one of these articles is asked to communicate with Doug David, phone 318.

West Pointers Blurb Poems ^ Want to memorize poetry and old tried jokes and recite them to a heckling audience ? No ? Well, neither do most of the iowerclassmen at the “West Point of the Air.” But they do it. because it's a part of Randolp field's jealously guarded aviation cadet tradition. In addition to memorizing poems and anecdotes for the edi fication of the upper class at mealtime, “dodoes” are prohibited certain walks reserved for upj^v classmen, address their seniors with utmost respect, and act as “gunners” at all meals. The “dodo” nearest the empty dish immediately assumes the role of “gunner,” raising his hand into “firing” position. This signal brings a civilian waiter. When, the dish is returned, heaped with potatoes, the “dodo” announces with dignity: "Sir, the creamed potatoes have arrived.” The upper class, also, recog nizes traditions in favor of the “dodoes.” Its members respect the recreation hall of lower class men as sacred territory, and they unfailingly — though sometimes sarcastically—address each “do do” as “Mister.” “They call it a fair arrange ment,” one lowerlassman de clared. “We recite Hamlet while they heckle, and in return they call us ‘Mister.’ But just wait!” Oregon Students are Waiting for March 5 EUGENE MERCHANTS' featuring The Emerald's First Cover Girl Emerald
