UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1942
NUMBER 23
Ducks, Vandals Battle Today
J. Dorsey Definitely Set
Band Policy
Unchanged,
SaysWilliams
All arrangements have been
made for the appearance of Tom
my Dorsey and his world-famous
band to play for the Homecoming
dance on November 7, Richard
C. Williams, educational activi
ties manager, announced Fri
day night.
In approving Tommy Dorsey’s
appearance, the student affairs
cvinmittee has not in any way
c ,s»nged its policy of no big name
bands for the University but
made an exception of Dorsey be
cause :
1. The University of Oregon,
the educational activities board,
and the associated students are
not in any way obligated finan
cially;
2. There will be absolutely no
students working on the dance;
and—•
3. It so happened that Dorsey
was available on November 7.
Lucky Day
In all probability, if Dorsey
were to be available on some oth
er date in November, the stu
dents would not have been able
to have him here.
Williams said that, since the
success of the Sophomore Whis
’ ino is naturally to the best in
terests of the student body, it
was the intention of his office
not to mention negotiations with
the Dorsey band till the earlier
dance was over. Due to the pre
mature appearance of an advance
publicity agent, however, it was
necessary to clarify the situation
immediately.
The admission price for danc
ing will be $2.20 a couple, that
price being set by Dorsey’s man
ager. Tickets will go on sale on
November 2 in the educational
activities office only.
ERC Office Calls Girls
To Handle Enlistments
Lieutenant R. G. Davis, head
the enlisted reserve corps has
asked that all girls who signed
up with him to do office work
at the ERC office earlier in the
term see him now.
Because of the increase in en
listments there is enough work
to keep all of the girls busy who
weren’t needed at the first of
the term. These girls are asked
to get in touch with the recruit
ing office in room 2, commerce.
Morris Speaker
Dean Victor P. Morris will be
the featured speaker at the all
co-op tea, Sunday, October 25, it
■yyas announced at inter-co-op
.ncil Thursday night.
October 30 was set as the final
date for the all co-op dance in
Gerlinger hall. Adele Riggs, so
cial chairman, will head the com
mittees for the dance.

Dyer suffered a severe shoul

Merchant’s Prophesy
U 0 Football Triumph
The prophets of the ancient.'j
could have done no better than
our modern prophets, the Eu
gene merchants, in predicting the
outcome of today's game with
Idaho. Casting aside the time
honored rites of sacrifice and
prayer, they enthusiastically
prognosticate scores ranging
from Oregon 30, Idaho 0, to Ore
gon 7, Idaho fi.
A full two-page spread in to
day's Emerald is devoted to their
forecasts. The sport section,,
which usually appears on pages
4 and 5, has been moved to pageo
6 and 7 in this issue to make
room for the merchants’ predio
