Big Feet Flop
ToNickelHop
It has been estimated that if
all the people who are going to
the Nickel Hop tonight were laid
on top of each other, the guy on
the bottom would get mad.The
rest of the guys, however, would
talk about shoes. Now there are
big shoes and there are little
shoes and the sizes are staggered
in direct proportion as the people
who wear them.
Two thousand pairs of shoes
and the respective feet within
are about to be part of one terri
fying, death-dealing blow.
No matter what happens, you
lose. The minute you let your
feet in any one of the several al
ligator dens tonight you will find
five people using them. The sen
sation you experience defies de
scription. Perhaps it is most like
crawling through an Underwood
typewriter with a pillow between
your teeth. When the music
comes to a slower tempo you
aren’t even relieved. It just means
that they step on your face in a
different rhythm. Then some one
drops a record on the floor and
you find yourself chewing the in
troduction to “Waltz of the Flow
ers” with the label already di
gested.
(You have just read the twen
ty-second propaganda release
from the office of the “We’ll-get
your - money - somehow” com
mittee. Come to the Nickel Hop.)

UO Red Cross
Gets More Help
By DOROTHY ROGERS
More and more bandages are
rolling off the assembly lines as
volunteer workers at the Red
Cross center increase in number
and in proficiency. When the
whistle blows Friday afternoons
at 3 o’clock and Saturday morn
ings at 9:30, the Chapman hall
center is filled with women doing
their part in the war effort.
As the plain gauze squares roll
through the production line, they
are folded according to a pattern
into the desired shapes, checked
for any faults, counted, and tied
in bunches for delivery to the
warehouse, the Eugene Red Cross
center.
First on Coast
According to the latest reports
this thriving industry, a project
of the student war boapd, was
the first of its kind to be estab
lished on any campus on the coast
and was followed by a number
of similar industrious units at
other schools.
Superintendent Carolyn Holmes
announces that last year this
miniature factory turned out
more bandages than its 2000 per
month quota, and received sug
gestions from headquarters to
raise the number for this term.
Foremen Arliss Boone, Barbara
Younger, and Jean Smith keep
the production line well in hand.
Then at the next whistle, the
swing shift swings off for the
day to resume their duties the
next week.
