of the debates, said: “The long list
of contestants in this second ser

gratifying and imposing. Certi
fied by their college presidents as
the best speakers in their respec
tive institutions, they admirably
^represent the best forensic tradi
tion in the American college to
day. These certified speakers
come from forty states and the
District of Columbia. At the eight
local radio debates in which the
thirty-two contestants selected
by the judges will compete, I shall
feel the keenest interest in act
ing as moderator.’’
The 16 best affirmative and 16
best negative arguments will be

whose names Dr. Peirce has just
announced': Professor Rupert L.
Cortright, associate professor of
speech, Wayne university, and ex

Dads’ Day to Hear
Air Plug on KOAC
Bill Buell of the Dads’ Day idea
trust, distinguished himself this
week by arranging a series of
spot announcements of dads’ ac
tivities to be broadcast on KOAC
through Kenneth S. Woods, of
the speech division.
These announcements will em
phasize highlights of the week
end festivities, the luncheon, con
tests, queen, Oregon-OSC basket
ball game, and other features
that will show visiting dads a
good time.
If plans work out, the area
served by KOAC will hear these
announcements soon and regular
ly, according to Dads’ Day Pro
moter Chuck Politz.
Spanish Honorary
Elects Neophytes
Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish hon
orary, held its annual meeting
Thursday for the election of new
members, according to Dorothy
Gullette, president. New mem
bers will be announced Tuesday,
and initiation will be held Sun
day, at 3 p.m. in Gerlinger.
Chief Heart Throbs
(Continued from pai/c one)
they will be sold at a booth in the
College Side. In charge of ticket
sales are Alice Patton, Nancy
McLynn, and Carol Wicke.
The Hop will be held February
11 from 3:30-5:30 at Gamma Phi
Beta, Alpha Phi, Pi Beta Phi, and
Alpha Chi Omega sororities, with
the coronation taking place at
the Gamma Phi Beta house.
The local florists are register
ing a kick. It takes more than
war marriages to keep them in
business. Several house dances
this term are turning a deaf ear.
Dads Heads
Ration Points
(Continued from paeje one)
not only may this be the last big
all-campus, 18-karat visit, between
students and parents for the du
ration, but that it may be the
last chance for dads to partake
of a lavish spread of such rare
tasties as meat, sugar, butter,
coffee and those other things we
will soon look back on with such
pleasant nostalgia.
It is hoped that a full 500 dads
will cram the dorm dining room
to sit before plates carefully
marked on a ration point basis.
While the spectre of rationing
may rear its ugly head and like
a Gremlin, drain the gas tanks
of some fathers’ cars, present in
dications are that dads will save
a little gas ahead or ride the
rails. Students will try to keep
their demands for funds to a min
imum so that visiting dads will
be able to “ride the cushions.”
Added Attraction
As an added attraction, Dad
(non-UO) Abbe may bring some
of his distinguished children to
add to the gaiety of the festivi
ties. This, however, is still in the
problematical stage, Politz point
ed out.
Jim Thayer, general chairman,
on whose shoulders rest the re
sponsibility of the weekend ac
tivities, announced last night
that the committees are working
on schedule toward accomplish
ment of this mission.
McKinney, '42, Begins
Bombardier Training
Lieut. Frank C. McKinney, who
graduated from the University of
Oregon in 1942 with a BA degree
in political science, reported at
San Angelo, Texas, January 29,

ber of Delta Upsilon, vice presi

of Milton, Oregon.
Odeon Plans

The program will be preceded
by a banquet at the Osburn ho
tel. Critics, participating stud
ents and the student-faculty com
mittee will attend. Dr. Robert
Horn, professor of English, will
preside.
False Alarm;
Only a Man
It looked like there might be
a robber in the neighborhood
Thursday when Alpha Chi Ome
ga girls looked out the window
of their sleeping porch at noon
and saw a man on the fire escape
while the fire alarm jangled all
over the house.
There was no fire so the girls
made a little investigation and
discovered that a hat had really
been the cause of all the alarm.
It seemed that a playful soph
omore from University high school
had tossed the hat of a fellow
sophomore up on the fire escape
and the loser started right up aft
er his fedora. When he started
down he tripped the fire alarm,
and started the commotion.
First Christian Church

ences of the Christian churches

The film' was taken at Turner
and Cove, Oregon, youth camps
last summer. Courtney Swander,
freshman from Portland, proto
graphed a part of the movie. It
is being distributed for showing
over the United States. This will
be the first showing in the state
