innrnmmimnimmnmim Gofon sti Q/iee*i... By BILL BINDLEY The time is 1933, deep in the heart of the depression. I am sitting alone home doing my math, I have only been in college for two years, and already I have had sense enough to change mv major to choral union. Well I am sitting there, and the wolf is howling at the door. So I go to the door and the wolf sticks his head in, and says: “Isn’t this the Theta house?” And I say: “It’s down at the nest corner." "Oh,” lie says, and leaves me sta ding' there in the snow while he dashes down the street, his boomer chain strung out behind hi:: like an anchor chain of a bat tleship, Kovv the time is later. Several years later. T am still majoring in choral union. In fact I have been majoring in choral union so long tlvit I can stand on my head, eat o 1-owl of chili with a knife, and sing “The Flight of the Bumble b - " backwards all at the same time. It is early in the morning, toe early, in fact, and my room mate quivers in the anticipation of his-murder as lie wakes me up for my eight o'clock. ‘Grand Old World’ But he can run faster than I can, so soon I am in ray room dressing, and I turn on the radio for a little entertainment by Pvi.cho Joe from Chicago and his L .tie Wranglers. Instead there comes over the air waves a simple character who says: “Good morn ing to you, neighbors. It’s a grand Ob', world, isn't it? Ha, ha, ha. Jjii’n laugh our cares away and start, the d&ys with a srtiile. Now smile. That's fine. Ha/ha, ha, isn’t tins fun Well now- We-have a num ber by the trio. The time, inci dently, is two and 610 minutes before eight . . And so on until otic minute until eight, when you finally leave for class. Boomer Chain A certain character who fre q its the journalism shack has <1 -a-lop- d some of the finer points of the art of boomer chain swing ing Using' a . . . er, yes . . . mo tion. of the . . . er, torso ... in a limner heretofore reserved for Ini'. 1 dancers, he accomplished the almost unbelievable feat of swing ing a boomer chain without the u;s ‘ of liis hands. This piece of master craftsman ship is, needless to say, admired In Km-. i aid workers and other ca; pus boomers, but there is al ways a question in the back of or; minds as to where he learned tii - . . . or, yes . . . motion of the . .. er, torso. And then there was the little mo 'on who was frantic because her husband had gone out to shoot or ;>s and she hadn't the slightest id, >. about how to cook them.

And as lie got up. grabbed a towel thrown by a manager, and started off to the shower room he mum bit'll over M' shoulder, “That boy Wiley nut is bis !” Captain Wallv Leash, the little Irrkan-Eskimo, said with a grin ti.-t “every team is tough this year,” and added, undoubtedly » h a thought for the future, “I surely hope we ran take it (the championship).” Thing.'j livened up in the Wash ington dressing quarters as Guard F Morris, who canned 12 points and fired up the Husky defense b ran to question the legality ol' R jer Wiley’s batting-the-ball oi t.-of-the-basket trick. “Uncle Hve" pacified him with something t. t intimated that the gesture v. ; perfectly valid.

For Victory By ROBERTA BOYD Since it now seems to be a wo man's world (or is it?) some of the Oregon glamour girls are do ing their part in war work. Just some! There's always that campus cutie with all her per sonality and men, what few there are left, who sits in the Side sophisticatedly blowing smoke all over everyone as she explains in that “I'm such a busy girl" tone of voice; “I just don’t-seem to have a minute to myself. Of course I'd love to work for Red Cross but I have so much else to do. I don't see how I get it all done as it is.” Morons No Joke Sind then the little moron type who, when asked if she's doing any war work,, whiningly replies, “Well, what is there for me to do ? No one has said anything to me about it, I don’t know where to go.” Immediately chang ing the subject, “Did I tell you about the little moron who . . Of coui’se any coed knows that Carolyn Holmes has charge of Red Cross which meets in Chap man hall every afternoon and Saturday mornings . . . That the filter center, at the armory, is just waiting for girls to help spot planes, among other jobs. But the girls are too busy trying to spot men and can’t be bothered about anything else. Too Many? The last character is the just plain lazy Laura—“War work? Are you kidding? I couldn't roll a bandage if they paid me. Be sides they have too many people around there anyway.” The fact that they don't have too many people, and learning to roll bandages is a fairly simple task doesn't faze her. “Sew! I've neve)’ sewed in my life. I can just see anything I'd sew fall apart before it ever reached England. Will she go to Arliss Boone who has charge of sewing for the Red Cross, and try to learn? Oh no, she can’t be bothered either. “ 'Nough sed.” (Courtesy of Chas.

Hendricks Hall Girls Receive Kwama Gifts Receivers of two $35 Kwama scholarships are Marilyn Holden, freshman in liberal arts, and Joyce Scott, sophomore in architecture, both of Hendricks hall.

Young Roger, who hasn’t finished his growing yet, meas ures up some six feet, seven and one-half inches. As you math students can see, that’s a two and one-half inch bulge on the Husky gent. yv Doug Ford, who was a finj? cracker forward for the northern crew last year, is now rounding into form, and undoubtedly he will make a strong bid for all conference honors before this young season dies out. Gilbert son is the other Washington for ward, and a demon ball handler. Veteran visiting guards Morris and Leask complete the Husky five, and the keynote about the gang is that they are all expe rienced men. The Oregon quintet this year has been playing sophs and fresh men along with juniors and sen iors.
