The distinguished flying cross,
coveted prize awarded to only a

casions in the past few months.
William Gentry received his
from General Kenny, head of the
New Guinea sector. Gerald John

New Guinea, Henry Evans, pilot

and Russell Miller, pilot of a Lib

Salvage Drive Off;
No Truck, Garage
Blamed for Delay
Because the salvage commit
tee hasn’t been able to secure a
truck or a place for storage, the
scrap drive scheduled for this
Friday has been called off, Marge
Curtis, co-chairman of the sal
vage committee, said Wednes
day.
If a truck can be secured and
a place of storage found before
next Friday, the drive will be
held then.
Last year a garage behind the
Sigma Alpha Mu house was used
in storing the salvage and Miss
Curtis stated that the commit
tee might be able to use this gar
age again.
A truck owned by the Univer
sity depot and one donated by
the Lane county war board were
used last year but neither of these
are available this year. “Anyone
who knows where we can get a
truck should get in touch with
me immediately,” Miss Curtis
said.
Greek Men
Postpone
Rush Date
The fraternity rushing prob
lem was laid on the table again
at a meeting of fraternity mem
bers on the campus Wednesday
afternoon. It was decided that
there were not enough fraternity
men on the campus to justify
making a decision on rushing,
Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, said.
The matter was put off until oth
er members of fraternities on the
campus can be contacted and the
ROTC members return.
Representatives who attended
the meeting were: Jim Lund, Al
pha Tau Omega; Frank Jacob
son, Beta Theta Pi; Robert
Schott, Delta Upsilon; Harry

Oats Notes
The cavalry boys won’t discuss
their team.
It’s an army secret, of course,
But there’s one little thing the
Duckmen want known:
They don’t carry the ball on a
horse.
W.R.L.
Only Trial
She emphasized that the idea
will be only a trial Friday night,
and if proven successful will be
continued throughout the school
year.
"Last year Oregon was rated
one of the top schools in the coun
try in bond sales, and we’re try
ing to reach another high quota
this year,” Miss Padgham ex
plained. She added that since this
is the beginning of the bond and
stamp drive for the year, it is
important that it be a success
from the start.
$60 Goal
If all the houses supported the
plan, almost $60 a week in
war stamps would be netted, the
chairman said.
Stamps are on sale at the
Co-op, and plans are also being
made to install a Victory booth
there.
The treasurers from all civil
ion living organizations will have
charge of the campaign in their
respective houses. They will meet
today at 4:30 in the YWCA hut
for other details of the drive, Miss
Padgham announced.

Julia Coburn, Fashion Designer,
Boosts Liberal Arts Background
Girls planning to enter the field of fashion should prepare
themselves with a good background of liberal arts courses, Ju
lia Coburn, co-director of the Tobe-Coburn school for fashion
careers, advised women students at an AWS assembly Wednes
day in Guild hall.
Miss Coburn recommended the business angle of fashion
work including promotion, advertising, salesmanship, and re
tailing because the average girl —-———
considers rasmon as a creative
industry and is often disappoint
ed.
Fay Is Small
The various divisions of the
business side are not highly paid
at first but offer almost unlim
ited salaries to the girls who
have imagination and are willing
to work. She characterized it as
a glamourous and hard job. She
suggested that girls interested in
a fashion career begin plan
ning in their freshman year if
possible.
The Tobe-Coburn school offers
work beginning either in July or
September. Those entering in
July attend classes until Septem
ber when they begin work in the
stores. If they start in Septem
ber they begin actual store work
in November. While working they
write out one assignment a week
and attend a weekly discussion
period.
Courses are offered in sales,
fabrics, retailing, advertising,
fashipn trends, and fashion his
tory. Cost for the year runs from
$2000-$2500. On their jobs the
girls earn about $500.
