Dazes Ducks
(Continued from page one)
muffs and mittens, pants and
pant—well, what girls wear, as
cummulo-nimbus clouds gath
ered over the University and
dropped rain for a week. Swim
ming classes swelled as instruc
tors gathered a group in the glit
ter and taught students how to
wade gracefully.
Porches Slightly Cold
Fog fogged into sleeping porch
es and beds turned from warm
and comfy to damp and soggy.
Profs reported an increase in stu
dent snoozing as classrooms be
came the ideal place to sleep as
it grew too tiresome to wring the
sheets out before going to bed.
Those unfortunates who had
eight o’clocks groped their wray
across the campus as fog distort
ed vision and visibility. Men took
the opportunity to bump into that
“blonde in econ,” promptly res
cued her from the clutching hands
of the dismal fog, and then wolf
ishly licked their lips and asked
for a date.
Drizzle Accompanies
It also rained a little. And the
river rose a little. And Califor
nians were late coming back. But
the rain only caused a million
dollars worth of damage in the
Eugene area. Yes, it rained—a
little.
And then one morning eight
o’clockers on the way to their nine
o’clocks, gasped, and cried, “By
gosh, it's the sun.” Some of the
six year seniors muttered in their
second cup (out coupon six) of
coffee, that “it looks like an
early spring which causes my
corns to ache.” Coeds phoned
home for their spring outfits, and
males thought longingly of days
when spring meant picnics with
A cardless California converti
bles, and of course, girls.
Then high-country boys donned
mackinaws and paraded uncon
cernedly around the campus as
other Webfoots drank coffee,
chocolate, and even anti-freeze to
keep moving and attend classes.
Snow fell, and the far south del
egates gathered in the open spac
es to romp and play in the stuff
which they occasionally see in
the movies.
So time marches on . . . while
students wait patiently and some
what fearfully for February 2
when the groundhog will first
make his annual appearance,
thereby deciding the spring term
fate of some 2400 Ducks.

Dies in Action
(Continued from page one)
Townsend, Washington, May 18,
1918. He attended Eugene grade
and high schools and came to the
University in 1937. In his fresh
man year he was on John War
ren’s frosh basketball squad. He
was from early youth “air mind
ed” and took pilot training at his
first opportunity.
He left Oregon in 1940 after
being appointed to Randolph
field where he won his wings. In
1941 he returned to marry Alice
Giustina, ’42, of this city.
Seen Much Action
Since Pearl Harbor he has seen
action on many fronts from Pa
cific to Atlantic. His death oc
curred as the last of many en
gagements in which he partici
pated.
Taylor was promoted to the
rank of major a few weeks ago.
Mildred Wilson Spies
(Continued from page two)
North Pacific Dental college in
Portland. He got the diploma—
and a wife, Dr. Mildred Spence,
a scant five feet of enthusiasm
for children’s dentistry — and
equal enthusiasm for Buck Bu
chanan.
Ten years of dentistry in Eu
gene followed his graduation.
Then Edgar and Mildred Buchan
an moved to Pasadena, and as he
put it, “We told everybody we
were going to Pasadena so we
could study more. We didn’t say
what I was going to study,
though.’’
What he went to study was
dramatics. While seeking to en
roll in the Pasadena Community
Playhouse he is reported to have
said, “I don’t know whether or
not I’ll ever be an actor, but I’d
like to be. And I’d like to study
here. I can afford to spend the
money even if it turns out to be
only a perpetual hobby with me.”
It appears to have been money
well spent judging from his suc
cess playing in major roles in
such films as “When the Dal
tons Rode,” “Arizona,” in which
he played Judge Bogardus—and
in “Penny Serenade,” with Irene
Dunne, in which he portr^ed
Applejack. More recently he ap
peared with Barbara Stanwyck
and Henry Fonda in “You Be
long to Me.”
Now that Edgar is under con
tract to Columbia Studios, Mil
dred has been managing a bit.
They have bought a five-acre
tract facing on a lake well
stocked with fish, in Northridge,
a section well-populated with mo
tion picture stars. There their
home is to be built.

plump—with a healthy, round
face and engaging grin, remem

times at the Theta Chi house, for
hours spent in Guild theater pro
ductions—and that lucky low ev
erage that prompted the drama
appreciation coprse.

ity.—Oscar Wilde.
