Although the soldier students at the University have started what promises to be a very good orchestra it lacks just one thing—a name. Anyone who has a suggestion should call the Emerald or bring it in to the Em erald. The name chosen will be published in the Emerald on Oc tober 12 with the name of the person submitting it. . . . The band will be made up of about 13 or 14 pre-meteorology and engineer students and will include many prominent musi cians from such bands as those of Jack Teagarden, Tommy Tuck er, and Art Jarrett. Leader of the band is Owen-Bailey and Bud Pence is manager and promoter. First debut of the orchestra will be October 16. Daffy-Nitions (Continued from page three) SNAFU is the army character whose unhappy adventures are a combination of Little Lulu, Joe Doaks, Mrs. Pruneface, Simp O'Dill, and Fish Blotto. In other words he is a goof-off. A G.I. is quite the opposite. He always carries a clean handkerchief and stuff and leans over backwards to carry out every, order to the minute detail much to his supe rior’s chagrin. An eager-beaver is a real go getter, always on-the-beam. He enjoys doing things the hard way. The Ready Teddy and the Revvin' Bruin are similar animals who invariably famous firsts in something or other. No matter which type your acquaintances fall into, they all have to be in at 10:30 p.m. (Pre-Mets at 10:10.) In the last three months, the coeds and local girls have start ed a very pleasant practice of seeing that the fellows get in on time. Some even see their dates to the door. Let’s hope this be comes a tradition because a sol dier who misses bed-check is not only subject to military discipline, but a night’s sleep is necessary if he ilitends to keep up with the stream-lined army schedule. Aesthetics Class Omitted From Book Because of an oversight, a class in aesthetics was not listed in the 194 3-4-1 class schedule book, the psychology department an nounced today. The class, Aesthetics 421, will be held in the office of Dr. B. E. Jessup, assistant professor of English and aesthetics, who is the instructor in the course. Time of the class will be arranged later. The University of Michigan’s physical hardening program is compulsory for all men students. ASTU Men Have Full Schedules Basics In Training Soldier - students, that's what we are. Most of us are young col lege fellows who were lucky enough to be selected for special training in the nation’s colleges. Our course here at the University of Oregon is basic engineering. All of us are studying mathe matics, chemistry, and physics as basic knowledge for any fu ture branch of engineering. Our Uncle Sam isn’t letting us off with merely a technical train ing, though. He has arranged that we spend plenty of time learning our American back ground through a study of history and geography. He thinks of us with thoughts of our becoming officers. Thus, we are well-school ed in English rhetoric and speech. But even with the high plane towards which we are b e i n g pointed always in mind, our edu cators have not forgotten that we are soldiers of the United States Army. That’s the reason behind our six hours weekly of both military science and physical education. The University students have found campus traffic rather try ing. Their main objection has been the several sections march ing to and from classes—and the army has priority. We have been divided into sections for ease in moving between classes. Section leaders are chosen to march their men and keep the records of at tendance. The reveille formation at six ten o’clock each morning is run by cadet officers who change jobs each week. Squad corporals call roll and report to the platoon ser geant who in turn reports to the cadet first sergeant. After as signing the platoons for policing the area, the cadet first sergeant gives the list of men absent from reveille to the company cadet commander, who checks with the orderly room. The cadet commander also forms the company to move out to classes and is in charge of the company for inspection of ranks. Also in the roster detail is the assigning of men to act as charges of quarters. The pleasant detail of making the immediately after-taps bed check falls to the individual who, for one week, has been assigned the position of charge of quarters on his floor. On this bed check deal, we of ten hear the question, when we have a coed out for an evening, “What are your closing hours, soldier?’’ Answering that, may r— Area Men New Here Classes in the Army’s Foreign Area and Language program, at the University began September 13. In the unit here are 225 sol diers studying language, sociol ogy, history, geography and other vital information of the nation which they are specializing. The fellows are becoming so engrossed in their work that they often practice the famed “Duce Re treat” every Saturday after 3 o’clock formation. Their courses cover the curiosities and customs of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Russia, and Norway. The “Furriners” are quick to inform any inquisitive person that, though they are quartered in the former women’s dorm, Su san Campbell hall, they are def initely not affected by their en vironment. They look forward with no discomfort to the hard winters rumored of Oregon; yau see, the FAL men eat all meaffe at John Straub hajl and the walk may be anything but the great est comfort. Commanding company C of ASTU 3920, which is the official designation of the FAL men, is Lieutenant Dwight H. Near. Act ing first sergeant is Corporal W. E. Dale. The men themselves rm resent nearly every branch of ft [I Army and are of an older agA group than the pre-engineers who have been on the campus longer than this new company of the unit. we state that the company bug lers blow taps at ten-thirt^ o’clock every night except Satur day. Colonel C. L. Sampson, Univer sity commandant and professor of military science and tactics, will be retired from active serv ice on September 30 concluding a career in the army since the Spamsh-American war. The of fi'-.al announcement came frt the office of the ninth seH command. “HAPPY GO LUCKY" Mary Martin Dick Powell “STRANGER IN TOWN” Frank Morgan Richard Carlson Jean Rogers Soldiers and Coeds HORSEBACK RIDING AFTER CLASSES FOR HEALTH AND FUN KATES: Daily: First Hour—§1.00 Eacii succeeding hour or portion thereof—50c Sundays: First hour—$1.00 Each succeeding hour or portion thereof—$1.00.
