New Weekend
In spite of drastic moves
that have changed the manner
of living at the University, drama
tized this may as in Mays of the
past will be a colorful climax to
"spring term at the U.” Junior
Weekend, started as a small func
tion of the junior class but now
almost an all-campus affair, will
be celebrated again.
But changed, too, is Junior
Weekend. Gone is the old, tradi
tional canoe fete, lost with the
water that broke through the
check dam on the mill race. In its
place is a musical comedy which
won a Pulitzer prize for its
writers.
Also gone is the “fraternity”
sing, for a new name must be
given to the annual serenade of
mothers this year. Not only fra
ternities but also independent or
ganizations will enter in the sere
nade. Each organization will be
assigned a separate nouse aim
the visiting mothers who are here
for Mother’s Day, held in con
junction witn Junior Weekend,
will be at the women’s houses
to hear their sons.
To head the committee to ar
range for the serenade which will
take place at 12:15 the Saturday
night of Junior Weekend, Ray
Packouz, newly appointed head
of Mother’s Day, Friday appoint
ed Len Barde. Working with
him will be Jim Harrison, Edie
Davis, and Gertrude Puziss. In
spite of changes the mothers will
hear their sons again.

Supermen Paged
Fire Fighters
“Give us some men, some stout
hearted men, ta-ta-tum, ta-ta
tee—No, it’s not a sorority
spring-song; it’s Prof. E. E. Bou
shey out searching for courage
ous, ambitious, patriotic, leather
lunged, iron-muscled, eagle-eyed,
and — stout-hearted men. Why
should a University professor be
ferreting out local supermen?
Well, the campus fire brigade is
tragically in need of firemen. Mr.
Boushey and his recruiting ser
geant, Dean Onthank, have plead
ed and extolled but still there
aren’t enough volunteers to fill
the ranks of this most important
defense organization.
Fire Watchers Run
Here’s the setup. There are two
types of personnel: the fire
watchers and the fire fighters.
When the air-raid alarm sounds
the fire watchers will run to their
preassigned stations atop impor
tant buildings. They will keep the
above mentioned eagle-eye peeled
for incendiary bombs. If any fall
on inflammable material, the fire
watchers will deal with the result
ant conflagration. The campus
has been divided into eight sec
tions with a sergeant in charge of
all fire watchers in his section.
At the sound of the alarm, the
fire fighters will all gather in
Fenton hall. They will he sent to
fires which the watchers have not
been able to control. A sergeant
will lead a squad of six or eight
fully-equipped men.
Blaze Battle Drills
The blaze-battlers will be thor
oughly drilled in modern fire
fighting technique. Early comers
have already heard a series of
lectures based on a bulletin to
Oregon fire chiefs. Specialists
will visit the campus to deliver
talks and stage demonstrations.
Members of the brigade will trek
to the city fire department for
instructions on, for example, how
to prevent excessive water dam
age in fire fighting.
The organization will also be
well equipped. Professor Boushey
is expecting shipments of fire
men’s axes, blunt edged shovels,
crowbars, helmets, and smoke
masks. A fire-truck trailer will
be purchased from the proceeds
of the General MacArthur dance,
which was held March 27. The
students will wear old clothes and
will furnish their own heavy
gloves and flashlights.
At the present time there are
thirty-six men training for fire
watching. Twenty more watchers
are needed. So far, no volunteers

US Physiques
Revamping Set
By FRED Kl'HL
The people of the United States
realize that America isn’t phys
ically a strong nation.
This feeling of physical inferi
ority is the motive for the nation
wide physical conditioning pro
gram now operating under the
office of civilian defense, accord
ing to Dr. R. W. Leighton, dean
of the school of physical educa
tion.
Recently appointed by Govern
or Sprague as director of the
physical fitness program for the
State of Oregon, Dean Leighton
points out, “this program consists
of improving the physical and
health conditions of the people of
the United States.”
P. E. Promoters
As the program is now being
established in Oregon, each coun
ty and community has a director
who is responsible for the pro
motion of physical education pro
grams in his designated territory.
All persons connected with this
program serve without remunera
tion.
“This physical improvement
program is carried out in all parts
of the state through various clubs
and organizations participating in
sports activities. It is also work
ing in cooperation wnth the vari
ous sport associations.
Long-Time Setup
“The program is looked to as a
long-time project, not an emer
gency setup; that is the reason it
is so slow getting started,” ex
plains the dean.
The program consists of im
proving physical and health con
ditions of the peo^te > hrough
community instruction in rSeits
ures and methods for such im
provement. The need for a more
thorough physical plan is evident
when the program of the United
States is compared with that of
other nations, he observed.
Physical Need Seen
“People who have been abroad
observe that the physical and
health programs of such coun
tries as Germany, Finland, Swe
den, Norway, and even England
are more thorough than that of
the United States.
“The school of physical educa
tion has, for a year and a half,
been aware of the need for irj^.
creased activities which lead to
better physical and health condi
tions of the people,” says Dean
Leighton.
The plan for physical educa
tion and health improvement has
been coordinated at the Univer
sity in recent months. Each phys
ical education class has now be
come more thorough in its scope
than formerly, states the dean.
