Library Lists Name Reserves,
Check for Errors Requested
All men in navy reserves V-7-,
V-5, and V-l, are requested to be
sure their names are included on
the reserve lists which are placed
on the bulletin boards in the cir
culation department of the lib
rary, it was announced Tuesday
by Dr. Carl F. Kossack, campus
armed forces representative.
Stressing the importance of this
measure, Dr. Kossack said that it
is necessary for all reserve men
check with these lists, because
there is a chance that some may
not have their names included.
This means that they are not of
ficially registered in any particu
lar reserve.
If this is the case, they should
see Dr. Kossock immediately. He
added that it is possible that all
men not listed might not officially
be in any reserve.

are listed under navy V-l, IS men
included in V-5, and 90 men in

Seventeen-year-olds now in col
lege were recently given the op
portunity to apply for enlistment
as apprentice seamen under the
navy’s V-5 program, according to
Dr. Carl F. Kossack, campus
armed forces representative.
Qualified men who enlist will be
allowed to remain in school until
they become 18, when they may
be transferred to aviation cadet
status under the V-5 program,
and ordered to navy flight pre
paratory school.
New Program
An alternative to this would be
continuance as apprentice seamen
and appointment to college in the
new college active duty program,
which will be announced later.
This would give them up to one
year of college work, at the end
of which time they would be
transferred to aviation cadet stat
us and ordered to duty in flight
prep schools.
Requirements for eligibility
under the program are age of 17;
enrollment in an accredited col

who are going to Corvallis to
shew the Beavers how the Uni

assembly for the coming week
end of basketball battles and
Oregon’s Dads’ day.
A return assembly here Thurs
day morning will feature 15 or 16
Oregon State students who will
present a rally program to Ore
gon students just as if they were
at home in their own men's gym
performing for fellow Beavers.
Ray "Spider” Dickson and a
group of his cohorts will present
a humorous radio broadcast such
as they gave last weekend at a
campus dance. The swing trio
will accompany a quintet of Web
foots, and master of ceremonies
will be Oregon Yell King, Earle
Russell.
Oregon State has not yet re
vealed the full plans of their as

is expected for the pre-game ral

The group of Webfoots going
to Corvallis today will leave here
sometime this morning, travel to
Oregon State by bus, and have
lunch in the Memorial Union
building. At 1 p.m. they will pre
sent their rally to the Beavers
and return to this campus later
in the afternoon.
Idaho Series
I guess we showed them basket
ball
With all the fancy frills,
And really sent them running

Oregon’s battling Ducks had to strain to the utmost to
squelch a tired but fiery Idaho Vandal quint in one of the
roughest embroglios of the current campaign last night at the
Igloo, 44 to 40. The Webfoots did it after a tough pull and
thereby strengthened their grip on third place and further add
ed to the misery of the Cellarite Moscovites who dropped num
ber four on their Willamette valley jaunt.

Scribe Asks Questions
By CHARLES POLITZ
James Abbe is a character, and he loves it!
The small, outspoken, always active, KGW news commenta
tor who will be the principal speaker at Saturday’s Dads' Day
Point Ration luncheon, is an enigma’s enigma—a wiry gob
of flesh on a toothpick with a “shaven dry” fish bowl-like head.
Clad in a wrinkled green shirt
with rolled up sleeves that showed
his tanned, sinewy arms, a loud
Hawaiian print tie, and shapeless
trousers, he swiveled in his type
writer chair in the KGW business
office and said:
“Always raise my children—
I’ve got eight by biting them in
the flank, setting them loose. Be
prepared to ask questions though.
I’m going to make the interview
very informal. Ask lots of ques
tions.”
Portrait ‘First’
The globe-trotting photogra -
pher journalist, who took the
first formal posed portrait of Jo
sef Stalin, darted out of the room,
was back in a flash.
“This is one of my four scrap
books,” he said, holding a bound
bbok the size of a granite slab.
“That’s the Stalin picture there.
Took me a month to get in the
Kremlin. Stalin’s eyes were very

In contrast with Monday
night's tussle where the Dueler
sprang ahead and then coasted
up to the victory door, last night
the Vandals were always within
striking- distance and gave Ore
gon an anxious time in the dying
minutes of the game.
Quinn Connects
Fred Quinn, Vandal point crazy
center, was tailed doggedly by
the Duck defense but managed to
connect on four seemingly im
possible hook shots and convert
ed four out of eight from the free
throw lanes to ring the bell for
an even dozen markers. Tliio
boosted his season aggregate to
118 in nine encounters for a 13.1
average, which if he can main
tain will crack Ray Turner’s rec
ord of 192.

their fourth straight triumph

Nursing Roles
Today is assembly day. “Yes,”
sigh the freshman girls expres
sively, “Another assembly.” Mary
Jane Dunn, chairman of the AWS
sponsored event, announces that
“This is not just another assem
bly, but is of special concern to
every college woman interested ii*
taking part in the war effort, not
only to freshmen, but to upper
classmen interested in branches
of nursing as well.”
To be held in 207, Chapman, at
•1 p.m. today, sound motion pic
tures will be shown by Miss Ele
nora Thomson, director of the de
partment of nursing education at
the University of Oregon medical
school, illustrating the part that
nursing plays in our lives today.
She will be accompanied by an
army nurse.
Miss Thomson was president of
ihe American Nurse’s association.
