lew Food Plans
By MARGARET MeGEE
A willingness to “cooperate in
every way possible” was express
ed Tuesday by living organiza
tion managers and members in
regard to the rationing of canned
goods beginning this week with
registration in Eugene public
schools. Each house will register
as a unit with the amount of can
ned goods received depending on
the number of members in the
organization.
As expressed by Mrs. Lela
Haines, house mother for Alpha
Chi Omega sorority, “It will mean
extra work, but when we get it
down to a system we’ll get used
to it. We’ll all try to cooperate.”
tHouse managers agreed that
nned food rationing was neces
sary to the war effort. “We think
it’s worth it,” was the opinion of
Alpha Chi Omega members.
The planting of campus victory
gardens was described as “a good
idea” excepting for the small
amount of space available. “Noc
much chance of a garden unless
we plow up the back yard,” com
mented the Kappa Sig vice-presi
dent. “Next summer, maybe,”
said members of Pi Phi.
Delta Tau Delta will “get along
all right,” according to President
Wayne Phillips, who added that
“the neighbors have a victory gar
tn in their back yard and we’ve
en ‘borrowing’ vegetables all
year anyway.”
Girls’ houses expect a new crop
of slim waistlines as a result of
rationing, according to Alpha Phi

Cash or Credits
Decreed by UO
With a feeling of uncertainty
many University men wonder if
they should return to school next
term in the face of the fact that
they may be called into service
and thus be unable to finish the
term.
To answer the questions of
these men, the University has es
tablished a definite policy as re
gards men who drop out of the
University to enter military serv

Official legislation covering
the term when men leave the
University is as follows: "Stu
dents who file with the registrar

conscription or enlistment in the
military service of the United
States, and withdraw from the
institution before the last four
weeks of the term, shall be al

The plan, which will operate
through the Armed Forces Insti
tute, will mean that seniors re
moved from school with only a
few hours required for gradua
tion may pick them up through
extension or technical service
courses. It also will mean that
some underclassmen or juniors
can continue progress toward a
degree while they serve fighting;

Registration
Students interested in this pro
gram can register with the Aim

enter service. From that time
forward, the Institute will keep

University Talent Show
Wins Audience Praise
By ROSS YATES
Throughout Odeon's entire 32 inches of program, students
and faculty members of the University and Eugene townspeo
ple listened to the first annual student talent show with atten
tion and amazement, breaking their trance only once, when
they changed theaters- from the music auditorium to Gerlinger
hall. Odean was presented last Monday, beginning at 8 p.m.
and lasting until almost midnight.
ucieon s 4-nour program opened
in the music auditorium with the
presentation of musical, literary,
journalistic, dramatic works, and
style show. At 10:45 it shifted to
Gerlinger hall, where the Master
Dance group presented, its pro
gram of dances. There also the
audience viewed literary displays
and the art exhibition.
Professor W. A. Dahlberg, fac
ulty chairman of Odeon, opened
the program with an introduc
tory speech. Dr. Robert D. Horn
followed with an introduction of
guest critics.
Musical Talents
Musical compositions by Bar
bara. Crisp, Elizabeth Walker,
and Eugene Bennett, all members
of the University school of
music, brought forth talents
of which the majority of students
and faculty members had hereto
fore been unaware. Performance
of the compositions by members
of the school of music was a
large factor in their success.
Two short stories, “The Jour
ney” by G. Duncan Wimpress and
"I’ve Never Stopped Looking”
by Barbara Hampson, read in
their entirety, kept the attention
of the audience from beginning
to end, which is the test of a
good yarn.
