'Harvest Moon ’ Theme
Of Whiskerless Dance
Although whiskers are out and
there can be no Sophomore Whis
kerino this year, the sophomores
will still have their annual dance,
Marilyn Holden, chairman of the
dance committee, said Tuesday.
“Harvest Moon’’ has been select
ed as the theme of the dance to
be held October 30 in McArthur
court.
Not only will this be the first
major dance of the year, but it
will also be the first formal.
“Corsages are taboo,” Miss
Holden said. “No one wearing
flowers will be admitted.”
Instead of choosing a Joe Col
lege, a member of the army pop
ulation on the campus will be
chosen for the role of G. I. Joe,
this year’s substitute. This year’s
Whiskerino will see the male ele
ment clean-shaven since the army
does not allow soldiers to grow
beards. As in former years, a
Betty Coed will reign over the
sophomore girls.
Music for the dance will be fur
nished by Owen Bailey’s soldier
orchestra featuring Sue Welch as
vocalist.
Price of admission will be $1.10
a couple.
Louise Goodman is in charge
of decorations and Altha Paul is
in charge of publicity.
G.I.'s, Civilians
Dance Tonight
Tonight the all-campus social mixer will undergo its final
trial. At 9:30 ]b.m. army students and civilians will go to des
ignated girls’ houses for 45 minutes of dancing and social life
to bring the various groups making up Oregon closer together.
The coordinating committee, which planned the get-togeth

WAA to Elect
Heads Friday
Due to the resignation of Jan
et Ross, the president of the
Women’s Athletic association,
and Margaret Cordon, treasurer,
the WAA executive council de
cided last night to hold an elec
tion this Friday to fill the two
offices.
Recommended by the council,
those whose names to be on the
ballot are: Beverly Goetz, senior
in physical education, for presi
dent, and Marian Schaefer, junior
in business administration, for
secretary.
Miss Ross’ resignation was
read and accepted at the council
meeting Tuesday evening. She
stated that she was forced to re
sign because of too heavy a scho
lastic and activity load. Scholas
tic ineligibility was the reason
for Miss Cordon’s resignation.
The election of new officers
will be held between 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. at a place that will be des
ignated at a later date, Martha
