100 per cent card conscious.
Omega, Sigma Hit Top
In ASUO Card Drive
Honors for being the first two
independent organizations to at
tain their 100 per cent goal in
the ASUO card drive go to Ome
ga and Sigma hall, A1 Larsen,
drive manager, announced' today,
leaving one more winner still to
be revealed.
In Omega hall, Jack Robbins
and Jack Riback were the sales
men who boosted the organiza
tion “over the top,” with every
one of its 41 members purchas
ing an athletic card. Norman
Mannheimer sold cards in Alpha
hall, which has 52 members.
Awards to the winners will be
^liade after the end of the drive,
Thursday morning, in an assem
bly on the same day. Nine sets
of records in four albums com
prise each $10 prize.
Doris Stein chcse individual
records, supervised by Oge
Young, general manager of the
drive.
This early selection was im
perative because war priorities
may create a shortage, according
to Larsen, who commented that
it may be necessary to accept
some alternates if the shortage
is acute.
As to the third winner still to
be announced, he remarked, “It
is hard to say which cf the houses
will receive the third $10 prize,
because Campbell club, Sigma
hall, and several others are also
nearing the 100 per cent goal.

War Heroes in Portland
Complain of Inactivity
“I haven’t seen action since I escaped German-held Holland," de
clared Lt. Johannes Weltjer, of The Netherlands, in Portland Mon
day. “All I’ve done is repair damaged warships and be bombed.”
Lt. Weltjer and three other United Nations heroes, including Lt.
Liudmila Pavlichencko, Russian woman sniper who has 309 dead
Nazis to her credit, appeared in the city for breakfast, luncheon, and
evening engagements, sponsored by United Students’ Service.
“Bombing is one thing you never seem to get used to,” the smil
ing Dutch lieutenant continued. "I originally lived near Rotterdam,
was bombed there; later in London, and still later in the Dutch East
Indies.
“Five companions and I escaped Holland in a 15-foot dinghy. The
Germans gave us a ‘farewell’ party, too. They heard our motors,
turned on the searchlights, but luckily they thought we were a plane.
Their beams criss-crossed high over our heads.”
Lt. Weltjer, who speaks English with a British accent, admitted
that he didn’t quite understand what it meant to be “in Dutch.” It
didn’t clarify the question for him further when someone said it
meant “in the doghouse.”
“Pavlichencko (the Russian sniper) and I got along quite well,”
he said. “She speaks only Russian, but she uses her native dialect and
I use Dutch. With help of the sign language we get along quite well.”
The Russian heroine was of strong build, short both in stature
and hair, of plain features, but she wore lipstick. Her army skirt
hung half way to the knees. She wore a Sam Browne belt and black
Russian boots.
Two Britishers, Sub-Lt. Richard Miles and Wing Commander
Scott Malden, rounded out the quartet. Malden was winner of the
British D.S.C. for his participation in the commando raid on Dieppe.
Lt. Weltjer smoked cigarettes between courses of his noon lunch
eon. Dark-haired, wearing heavy glasses, he displayed keen sense of
humor, applauded alone when he found he would not have to speak
at the lunch meeting.
Asked about Japanese marksmanship he replied: “In one bomb
ing, 26 Japanese planes dropped three bombs each simultaneously,
a total of 78. They missed that time. Other times they came woefully
close.”
In cooperation with the Eu-*
gene and national drive for
scrap iron and more scrap iron,
the University cf Oregon ha*
scheduled its campaign for Sun
day, October 18.
A joint committee of student
and faculty defense workers wi 1
meet Thursday night to malt'?
more extensive plans for the.
drive: One of the points to be de
cided at this time is whether
campus scrap will be piled ; -v
designated corners and then ca -
ried away as will be done in tin
city drive or whether to put : l
scrap in one central place.
According to the defense con ■
cil the Eugene area campaign in
divided into four divisions undo*
the direction of Eugene service
clubs.
J. O. Lindstrom. UO busine.-ij
manager, announced in a left- •
to Chancelloi' Hunter that a r> -
port on the amount of scran
picked up on the University cam
pus in past drives could not I r
made yet; because the Kyli •
foundry, which said it would buy
all campus scrap, has been too
busy and has not been able '•>
pick up. all accumulations. TJ
final clean-up drive was post
poned, since many faculty mem
bers had just recently returned
to the campus and had been ton
busy during the last two week >
to have an additional job thru* ,
upon them, added Mr. Lindstrom.
The possibility that student !
may make placards for the drive,*
volunteer to pick up scrap, and
aid the program of delivery ha i
been suggested.
Prime scrap which can be
turned in is one-eighth or more
inches thick, announced Waited
Bridges, head of the city drive.
