Scrap Drive ( Continued from page one ) horses around. Canard boys found themselves stranded in the country with their scrap when they run out of gas. They’re go ing to use the hay rack today. Guards The sleepy looking characters seen this morning really are sleepy - they had to stand watch all night on precious scrap piles. Thursday night taught the les son when a dispute arose con cerning the ownership of a jal lopy parked beside the Chi Ome go house, and finally the girls called in the aid of Gamma hall and the Yeomen to protect the precious scrap. All-night vigils were consid ered worth while, too, after the time and trouble some people went to in getting their junk col lected. Cut It Up! Alpha Tau Omega arranged to get a furnace from Sacred Heart Hospital, but the trouble came when they started to take the furnace out of the place. It is ru mored they cut it out piece by piece. No one ever realized how many jalopies there were at Oregon, but a short look around the cam pus this morning will enlighten anyone on the subject. “Watch the Fords go buy will be a rather appropriate theme for today's parade when the remains of many an old timer goes to the city scrap pile. Safety Show Slated Safety methods for canoes and small craft will be demonstrated at the men’s pool Monday after noon at 4 o’clock by Mr. Wallace Van B. Claussen of the national water safety staff of the Ameri can Red Cross. Mr. Claussen, a one-time Olympic coach, will also discuss general water safety problems. Houses Must Prove Mettle In Noise Parade Today * By EDITH NEWTON No matter who wins the noise and scrap contest today, Oregon students won’t soon forget the scrap metal drive—it's something to tell the grandchildren about. What else but a scrap metal drive would make pledges hike to the local garbage dump, sophomores look for the worst cars they can find instead of the smoothest, junior's whisper among each other concerning the advisability of scrapping the house furniture, and seniors scratch their heads over how to haul the mess of junk ? Wood Type The Emerald, in an extreme attempt at patriotism, used wooden type for the banner headline on today’s issue in order not to use necessary metal. Hilyard house girls evidently went mighty patriotic when they decided to give up baths. Anyway, there was a bathtub for the scrap drive in front of their house Friday. Ford Becomes Bumper WTien Canard club boys had to be pushed after running out of gas in the country while looking for scrap, Henry Ford and Te^ Miller made themselves into human bumpers so the car could be pushed—all so they could get home with their scrap collection. Alpha Chi Omega girls scoured their house so thoroughly they declared last night that they were absolutely sure of winning first prize. v Wrecks Found Gamma Phi Betas proudly announced they had found two wrecks and managed to get them home. Greatest problem at a late hour last night was how each group could possibly pull all the metal scrap they had hauled home. KOAC Celebrates Power Increase To celebrate the increase in power of their daytime broad casting from 1000 to 5000 watts, KOAC held a day-long dedica tion broadcast Friday. Originating from every division of the state system of higher ed ucation, the program celebrated the operation of complete new equipment, the most of which amounted to $50,000 in state-ap propriated money. The University presented a 45 minute program, directed and produced by Kenneth S. Wood. Dr. Earl M. Pallett, executive secretary and registrar, spoke in the absence of Donald M. Erb, University president, who is in the East. The string ensemble, directed by Hex Underwood, presented several numbers and the Radio Workshop produced a drama en titled, “The Key.” Cloud Chooses ( Continued from page one ) judged on the basis of catchiness and originality, the winner re ceiving a $5 prize. Contestants may contribute as many entries as they wish to Cloud at 1472 Kincaid or to the alumni office in Friendly hall. Slogans should be as brief as possible. “Entries ought to fit in with the idea that this year we are honoring Oregon alums in the armed services,” Cloud said. He added that the slogans might emphasize the more local nature of this year’s celebration. Further Plans Skipping over events for the coming week, the chairman list ed the service alumni competition, which is already under way, and the appointment of the remainder of his committee. Still unnamc^ are members to direct general events, special events, and hospi tality. The living organization with the greatest number of alumni serving in the armed forces will be presented a service flag at ceremonies in McArthur court Friday evening of Homecoming weekend. Cloud said that the lists turned in by each house would be compiled and confirmed by the alumni office by Novem ber 2. Wartime Spirit “This contest and the rally at which the winning house will be given the service flag are in tended to heighten the theme, of student participation in the war effort,” the chairman said. “This is largely the purpose of Home coming this year: to remind s4 ) urns and the public in general that the student remaining in school is not dodging his share of the war effort, but rather con tributing directly now, or pre paring to contribute soon.” Longest biography in Who’s Who is 129 lines.
