Carey Directs
Dance Band
Within three weeks Oregon
will again have its own all-stu
dent dance orchestra, according
to George Carey, leader of the
newest band in Eugene.
The band has been rehearsing
nightly for the past week, im
proving their style.
“Smooth Style”
According to Carey, the band
will have four saxes, five brasses,
and three rhythm instruments,
and will feature a girl vocalist.
Their style is to be “smooth,” but
with “plenty of rhythm.’’ Since
all the players are students, Car
ey expects them to judge what
kind of music students like, and
he will feature it as often as pos
sible.
“This is a band for the stu
dents,” he says, “and we will play
the kind of music they want.”
Crying Need
The chief reason the orchestra
has been formed is to meet a
crying need for a band to play
for house dances and for all-cam
pus dances at the Igloo. Houses
have always had trouble in the
past getting bands when they
want them, because there are
only two in Eugene available for
student dances, and they are usu
ally booked up for the year be
fore the fall term begins. The or
chestra is being booked by the
Spider Dickson Enterprises.

What’s cooking in. the Com
merce building’s backyard is
asphalt.
No student who has frequented
the old Oregon campus in the
past few days can be unaware of
the fact that the roofs of some
of the buildings are being tarred.
It is apparent not only to the
sense of smell. Crashes are heard
at irregular intervals as sections
of the old roofing are thrown
down. The classes nearby calmly
go on with their studies until an
extra loud crash almost sends
some in search of air raid shel
ters.
The work of tarring is an inter
esting but smelly job. Before it
can be done the old roof has to
be ripped up. Then a layer of as
bestos is laid down and after that
a layer of asphalt.
The asphalt comes in blocks
which have to be chopped up
with an ax before it can be put
in the stove. When it is melted,
it is poured into buckets and
hoisted to the men on the roof.
There they spread it on with a
mop.
No Materials
It was hoped that work would
be finished before school started.
Dr. Will V. Norris, professor of
physics, who is in charge of the
project, said that the materials
were ordered early in the sum
mer. Because of the war they
did not arrive until now.
The contractors are Johns
Manville, who estimate the cost
at about $3000. Armpriest-Elf
strom Co. are doing the work
and are hurrying to keep ahead
of the rain. With the men’s dorm
and the art and journalism build
ings finished, and the commerce
building almost completed, all
that remains is the Oregon build
ing.
It wras thought that the work
would last only about ten days
more, but Mr. Harold Elstrom,
veteran of the business, says that
if the gravel roof of the Oregon
building is as hard to rip up
as that of the Commerce build
ing, it will be another two weeks.
The University of Wisconsin
Scandinavian department, first of
its kind in any American univer
sity, rounded out its seventieth
year recently.
