Bonds Replace
Co-op Desserts
War bonds instead of dessert,
meatless dinners, and no sugar
shortage—thus the women’s co
operative houses on the Univer
sity campus sum up the effects
which food rationing has had on
them. Men's cooperative houses,
too, report no shortage of either
sugar or coffee.
Girls’ houses observe two des
sertless nights a week. The
money which would ordinarily be
spent on desserts is put into war
bonds.
“We already have four $25 war
bonds,” explained Jessea Nas
shahn, treasurer of the Coed Co
operative association, “and we
have money to buy more.”
General Manager
The amount of money spent
for food in the cooperative hous
es has always been kept at a
minimum. Buying is done for
the three girls’ -houses through
the general manager of the Coed
Cooperative association.
In the men’s houses, buying is
done through the general mana
ger of the Men’s Cooperative as
sociation.
Few Substitutes
Most houses report difficulty in
buying food in large lots. Some
foods, according to reports, are
impossible to get.
One house reports that they
are not buying their full allot
ment of sugar. Few of the co
operatives reported the use of
substitutes such as molasses and
honey.

Why don’t you wear your rooter’s

Houseboys
Honor Pi Phis
The Nickel Hop brought zoot

something- more—the sense of be
ing appreciated by their house
boys.
Reat to the beat, Don Stephen,
Bob Ellis, Bill Lous, and Tom
Terry honored their chosen cuties
by beguiling other beauties into
surrendering 47 tickets to the

UO Talent Show
Issues Last Call
Last call for student talent in
all fields is being put out by the
executive committee of "Odeon,”
the talent show set for Monday,
February 22, when students will
have an opportunity to display
their work in creative lines.
All students in creative fields
with anything to offer are urged
to see W. A. Dahlberg, chairman
of Odeon, in room 107 Friendly
hall before the end of this week.
The ' talent show will take*
place at 8 p.m. in Gerlinger hall
February 22. This is the first
time such a show has taken place
at the University. The name
Odeon was suggested by Mrs.
Edna Landros, acting head of the
classics department, because the
Greek name originally applied to
music theaters where art was
patronized.
