gists removed their contract mail
ing station.
Dear Dean S. & Dean E.
Although we dislike
10:30 permission,
We’re willing to offer you

Face an equal restriction.

RAY PACROUZ . . .
. . . Senior class president, who
will preside at the senior class
meeting- tomorrow in 105, com
merce building.
Senior Class Meeting
A senior class meeting has
been scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in 105 Commerce.
All seniors should atteend as it
concerns the disposal of senior
class funds. Because of the
lack of a quorum at a previous
meeting, the matter could not
be voted upon.
Tap, Harmonica Team
Talk Freely of Travels
As natural and friendly as your next door neighbor were
Draper and Adler, famous tap and harmonica team, who ar
rived in Eugene Monday afternoon to open the University’s
1942-43 Greater Artist concert series in McArthur court that
night.
Exceedingly eager and talkative about their tour, they
reached the Eugene hotel accompanied by Mr. Draper's wife
and their pianist, John Colman,
y^ho disappeared for the time
_ ile Adler, nicknamed the
“verch" (for virtuoso), began a
discussion of the team’s concert
life.
Off to England
“Larry and I are anxious to get
to England to play for the troops
over there,” said Adler, explain
ing that they would leave just as
soon as their 20 remaining con
certs included in this tour were
completed.
“Service men are our favorite
audiences,” he continued, “and
those boys really know good mu
sic.”
In regard to his reaction to
Oregon. Mr. Adler said that what
had witnessed coming through
the mountains of southern Ore
gon was the most incredible scen
ery he had ever seen.
Draft Status—3A
Speaking of the war and their
draft status, Mr Adler said,
“Since we are both married we
are both 3-A, but Draper is a lit
tle 3 ‘A-er’ than I, because I have
a three-year-old daughter.”
The only very noticeable effect
the war has had so far for Adler
is that his supply of Hohner har
monicas has been cut short.
Since these came from Germany,
he can no longer change them
after every performance.
While talking about other sub
jects including Hollywood, which,
incidentally, both artists dislike,
Mr. Draper and Richard C. Wil
liams, educational activities man
ager, entered.
The former was intent on
learning just how to reach Cor
vallis, where their next perform
ance would be given.

Liberty Bell
Peals Forth
For Pennies
The Liberty bell will ring each
time a coin is dropped into it for
the service scholarship fund,
Chairman Oge Young said Tues
day. The bell, which will be
placed in the Co-op today, is not
in the shape of a bell, but one
will ring as each contribution is
dropped in the slot.
Contributions may consist of
money or Co-op receipts. Pennies
or any small change are suitable.
Money collected will go into the
purchase of war bonds, which
will be given to the scholarship
fund for men who will want to
return to the campus after the
war, or those who will return
earlier because of injuries or dis
missal.
Charles Roffe, a junior in
business administration, is in
charge of the campus interest
drive, which is designed to keep
up the interest of the campus as
a whole, and see that the drives
are functioning.
Roffe explained that the Lib
erty bell is not only a phase of
the war effort and the scholar
ship drive. It will continue for
the duration of the war.
