Lost ’n Found-Formal Hoop; Other ArticlesAwaitOwners A good indication that business at the campus lest and found department is becoming more diversified every day is shown by one of the most recent articles added to the collection, a girls’ blue and black net hoop for a formal. Fortunately the treasured possession, or petticoat, as the lost and found department called it, was claimed by the owner Tuesday. It all started at the military ball when a certain red-headed freshman decided she no longer wanted this personal item, so she left it in the ladies’ room in Mc Arthur court. But a few days lat er she decided the dainty article was rather useful and that she wanted it badly. To her dismay, the “room” where she left it in McArthur court was locked and she couldn’t find the janitor. To the Rescue Things looked pretty gloomy until she remembered that useful institution, the campus lost, and found department, where hun dreds of items belonging to cam pus people have quickly collected. Sure enough, amidst the varied pile of articles was her cherished “hoop,” which she thankfully claimed. The moral of this little story is - don’t leave your things lying around, but if you have already done so, hurry over to the lost and found department and it will probably be there. “The things we have collected here are too numerous to men tion,” says A1 Tyson, in charge of the department. Are These Yours? Among the items is a zipper notebook belonging to Patty Pow ell, K&E Beginner’s slide rule owned by Vernon Kisdberth, note books belonging to Warren S. Moose and Marilyn Lunden, and one college typewriting book owned by Barbara Bock One crutch, whicn has been there for at least a year; one pipe case and pipe; about 18 pairs of gloves, two men’s hats, approxi mately 38 books, two tennis rack ets, one pair of glasses, a cigar ette case, one string of pearls, one pocket book, and many pencils and pens, are only a part of the total sum. 'Solve Corkin's Code' (Continued from page one) event ever seems in the comic strips, that the mystery concern ing the code, will be unraveled today. At least, this supposition is heartily enjoyed by our en grossed 1,000. By the time this is read, how ever, the 1,000 will have already turned to "Terry and the Pirates” . . . Artist Caniff will dream up something equally as interesting in a couple of weeks, so why wor ry about'the code? . .' ■ '*'.. Special for ERC A wire received last night by Be. VV. V. Norris, head ot' the department of physics, stated that there would be a special radiocast of interest to all men in the meteorology program as well as ail ERC men. The program will be broad cast over station KOKE tonight at 5:30. Britches Split (Continued from page one) contacted in the poll, 12 houses are in favor of reverting to tra ditional tin pants or cruise blues, one house will continue to wear jeans, and the other four are un decided. The only two members contact ed of the committee which had previously planned' the frosh “revolt,” stated that they thought freshmen should discontinue the wearing of blue jeans. Loud Unavailable Ted Loud, chairman of the com mittee, could not be reached at a late hour last night, but ru mors persisted that he might continue campaigning for a fresh man revolt. According to Skull and Dagger President Bill Huggins, “drastic action” will be in order for any freshman seen wearing jeans on the campus in the future. Skull and Dagger last week designated “cruise blues” as sup plementary official freshman pants, because of the shortage of the traditional tin pants. Kwama Welcome (Continued from page one) Horstman, Kwama prfesident, and an opportunity to “get acquaint ed” through an informal conver sation period, is scheduled fol lowing the main program. Arranged by Assembly Co Chairmen Joan Dolph and Mary Riley, entertainment will also in clude the group singing of sev eral numbers. Other Kwama members helping to plan for the meeting are Marjorie Pengra, music; Flora Kibler, singing; and Audrey Holiday, stage manager. Randolph-Macon Woman’s col lege will soon celebrate comple tion of its fiftieth year. UNIFORM NEATNESS . . .

Sth St. BAND BOX CLEANERS l'hone 398 DadsFeaiure Tramp Abbe “The Tramp Photographer” was the title James Abbe, radio news commentator and speaker at the Dads' Day luncheon February 13, earned for himself when his travels became widespread and unpredictable. He started on his career as a news photographer when he was still a youngster, living in New port News, Virginia. Pie unwit tingly took a picture of the battle ship Maine as it left the harbor for the last time before being sunk off Plavana, Cuba. After the ship went to the bot tom, Abbe made a neat profit by selling prints , of his picture, evi dently the last picture taken of the ship. It seemed that Abbe had a nat ural knack with a camera, and for many years he made a handsome living by it. Broadway’s gay “White Way” captured his fancy and he spent much time taking pictures of New York’s top-notch theatrical personalities. Holly wood beckoned to him and he came west to direct one of Mack Sennett’s pie-throwing epics. '43 Book Drive (Continued from page one) the campaign which is conducted by the American library associa tion, the American Red Cross, and the United Service organizations. From the 31,867 books collect ed in Oregon last year, 4,389 were distributed to Camp Adair, 8,912 to Camp White, 2,916 to Fort Stevens, and the rest to various other Oregon camps. The campaign ends with “Vic tory Book Day,” March 5. Books should be placed in the labeled box to the left of the circulation desk in the library. Services Urge Photo Mai! Use The army and, navy urge all correspondents of men in the armed forces to use V mail ex clusively, F. Armitage, postmas ter, said yesterday. If correspondents wish their overseas letters to go by clipper, they must use the V mail sta tionery, the postmaster contin ued. Otherwise their letters, even though bearing airmail stamps, will’only go by air to the point of debarkation. Too many people are still using the regular sta tionery form! for overseas mail. V mail forms can be bought at any drug store. Before parcels can he accepted for mailing to army points over seas, the sender must show a re quest from the soldier who is to be the recipient, together with a letter of approval from his com manding officer. This ruling is for even the smallest package, Postmaster Armitage pointed out. The navy, marines and coast guard do not require an approval by a Commanding officer hut otherwise their regulations as to the kind of packages to be re ceived by their men is identical with that of the army, he ex plained. No package can measure more than 15 inches long or more than 36 inches arodnd, and it cannot weigh more than five pounds. “And as for contents,” went on the postmaster, “no eats, espe cially candy, is the order of the day. These regulations do not ap ply to armed camps within the U. S.” “Another thing that is defin itely out,” he continued, “is the sending of these fancy matches packages with military insignia on their covers.
