Enforcement
Of Customs
Traditions for the annual
Homecoming weekend will be
enforced after November 2 under
supervision of the Order of the O.
Those who fail to abide by the
established rules will be punished
through the means of hacking
sessions. These sessions will be
held on the law school steps at
32:30 p.m., and will be under the
direction of the lettermen. All
lists of violators are to be turned
in to either Dick Burns or John

on the old campus which is
bounded by 13th and 11th. 4. Rec

fail to appear will receive pun
ishment of a more severe nature.

vember 2, it was announced Wednesday by Dick Williams,

Original Program
They will present their own
original program which ranges

the team, is best known for his
expert dancing style in which he
combines the technique of the
ballet with his own method of
dancing; while Larry Adler, the
harmonica player, is noted for
having made a concert instru
ment of the harmonica, and was
credited recently by Life maga
zine as being one of the most in
teresting of new American mu
sic personalities.
Meeting Unusual
Draper and Adler first met in
an unusual way. According to
Mr. Adler, the following is an
account of their meeting:
“In 1934, I was out of a job
and went to see Roxy at his
theater. He told me that he was
cooking up an act that was giv
ing him some trouble. Vincent
Minelli had designed a huge stage
set with three doors. Roxy’s prob
lem was how to blend three acts
into one, using each act to en
ter through one of the doors.
Al! Out Neared

tempting to acquaint Eugene

Oreqon Transfer Edits
Bette Armstrong, who attend
ed the University of Oregon last
year and is now a sophomore in
journalism at the University of
Idaho, was recently appointed
feature editor of the Argonaut,
Idaho student newspaper. While
a freshman on the campus last
year Miss Armstrong was an ac
tive Emerald worker.
"He already had a girl singer,
Alice Dawn, and a young hoofer
named Draper. Now what about
me—could I fit into that picture ?
Well, I met Draper and the girl
and we worked it out so that he
danced onto the stage through
one door to court the girl; then I,
as his rival, entered from the
opposite side. After our first per
formance, we made our bows and
exited without hearing any ap
plause. All we did hear was a
voice backstage shouting, 'Get
them out of here!’
“We found out later that the
man was not referring to us,
but to some imitation rats in the
Pied Piper act that followed us.
We had scarcely got to our
dressing-rooms when we were
rushed back by attendants to
take our applause. You see, in
a big place like the Roxy, you
don’t hear the applause right off
—and we hadn’t waited for ours
to reach our ears.’’
Classes Need
Extra Funds
Dr. Frederick M. Hunter,
chancellor of the Oregon state
system of higher education, an
nounced at the state board meet
ing Tuesday that the University
has need of $17,179 to meet the
necessities of the emergency
classes occasioned by the war
and the unexpected large fresh
man class'
Through economies in other de
partments, Dr. Donald M. Erb,
president of the University, has
been able to transfer $12,427
the emergency fund, leaving
need of $4,752 additional which
was granted by the board at its
Portland meeting.
The extra funds are needed in
view of the extra assistants in
the library, and additional funds
needed in the school of architec
ture and allied arts, physical ed
ucation, English, speech, drama,
chemistry, geology, geography,
mathematics and physics depart
ments. Large enrollment in the
last two departments has made
them especially needful of extra
funds.
