To dessert or not to dessert is
a question that is to be left up
to individual fraternities, the in
terfraternity council ruled Thurs
day, according to Bill Bradshaw,
president of IFC.
“The IFC decided to follow the
same program in regard to des
serts it has done before,” Brad
shaw said, “and it is up to the
discretion of the individual houses
whether or not they wish to have
them. Unless it is shown defi
nitely that general campus opin
ion is against desserts, or unless
University officials rule to abol
ish them, the houses will prob
ably continue this practice.”
There was no discrimination
made in the ruling' between pref
erence and exchange desserts,
houses being left to their own
choice in the matter.
As to whether or not the girls
would attend, Bradshaw said he
understood the ruling passed by
heads of houses prohibited only
desserts held at women's living
organizations, and that houses
would be free to accept invi
tations extended by men's houses.

Winged Victory
The CPT boys will learn to fly;
They’re going to the south to sail
> the sky.
The managers of all the houses
now sigh
As they wipe a drop from a tear
stained eye,
And think of the house bills
they’ll be shy
"When CPT boys learn to fly.

Junior
Weekend
Rally Postponed
Mr. Wintergreen has been
rained out! Afraid that his plat
form of love would not stand up
under Oregon's spring showers,
his cohorts have postponed the
campaign rally for the “Of Thee
I Sing" presidential candidate un
til Tuesday.
Campaign Manager Bob
Whitely announced yesterday the
possibility that Joe Montag, of
great campaign, no term fame,
may run in opposition. His plat
form is expected to be: universal
conscription for males of all ages
and descriptions (purpose: to af
ford Mr. Montag the run of the
feminine field).
Deadline for political signs will
now be Monday. Presidents of all
living organizations are asked to
make sure that their signs are
ready. Clint Paine, chairman of
the rally squad, will have charge
of all signs.

Zooming GPA's seem to be
indicated from some of the high
scores earned by primary and
secondary civilian pilot training
ground school finals, it was ob
served by J. C. Stovall, CPT co
ordinator, Thursday.
Out of the 19 students in the
secono’ary class only 7 fell below
an average of 90 for the four-part
exam. These were all in the up
per SOs. High secondary score
was earned by Walter Smith, who
led both classes with a 99 top
average. John Cordell came
through with a 98, George Ev
ans a 96 and Hall Simons and
Paul Blais tied for fifth place
with a score of 95.
Stovall remarked that high
scores in both finals could be
credited to the extensive back
grounds presented by Orville Var
dy, primary ground school in
structor, and Ben Wohler, sec
ondary instructor.
Leading primary scores with an
average of 93 was Charles Put
nam. Tieing for second place were
David Casey and Don Richardson
with Robert Kronberg and Wil
liam Wilson both totaling 91
points. Wilbur Bishop, Franklin
Lockwood and George Oldfield
all earned 90.
Top scores for the CPT district,
Inspector J. H. Vaughn remarked,
measured up on a par with results
from other schools all over the
United States.
Practical flying, which will be
gin Saturday in Klamath Falls,
is based in part on the knowl
edge of principles gained through
ground school study it was point
ed out. The near 60 students en
gaged in the two CPT programs
have been leaving the campus for
the southern Oregon city since
the beginning of the week. A
final few will leave the campus
today.

Miss Durkee Says Sing’Cooperation Wonderful’
By MAK-JORIE MAJOR
Piling flashing examples of the
latest in bathing suit on a desk in
the drama studio, Dorothy Durkee
sighed blissfully, “Beautiful,
aren't they—and they’re all do
nated.’’
9 After more than a month’s
concentrated work and more
than twenty-eight rehearsals, she
still loves her job as assistant di
rector to Horace Robinson for
“Of Thee I Sing,” and claims that
“it’s getting more exciting all
the time.”
Costumes
“The costumes are coming in
thick and fast now, the white sat
in leotards and capes for the
dancing chorus, the bathing suits
for the beauty chorus, and some
old band uniforms for the French
ambassador chorus,” she contin
ued. “The principals are getting
their own, Jerry Lakefish has
been groveling about in the sec
ond hand stores (he's Throttle
bottom, you know), and Jim
Bronson has borrowed one of
Dean Virgil Earl’s suits, plus'
padding,” she said.
“You know,” Dorothy ex
claimed, “in all these reheasals
we've had, none of the principals
have missed once, unless they had
classes. And that isn't all-stu
dent cooperation is wonderful;
those football players, for in
stance, take their parts very se
riously, and are really good.”
Clockwork
Rehearsals and production pro
ceed like clockwork as a result
of careful charts, and a large blue
notebook which contains an abso
lutely complete record of stage
arrangement, dialogue and stage
•'business.” Dorothy displayed it
proudly, explaining that "This is
