NUMBER 23
1800'Smoke Packs’ Needed
For Lane County Draftees
lit USO-War Board Drive
With 1800 packages of cigarettes as their goal, the campus
war board is going full speed ahead on plans for a cigarette
drive to be held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next
week.
Phyllis Horstman, head of the drive, announced that the
cigarettes will go to the Camp Adair hospital and the Lane
county USO. Those given to the USO are passed out to draftees.
Puzzling Theme
Rt&iored to be the most amaz
ing- program that has ever been
presented on this campus, the
“Out of This World” assembly
Phi Theta Upsilon members are
planning for next Friday night
will be absolutely true to its
naigj3j^.ccording to Kathy Dunn,
publiWcy chairman of the event.
Scheduled for November 5, at
193G (7:36 p.m. to all non- Glers)
the assembly promises to be one
of the most prompt starting and
fast moving situatr *s ever to
greet University st, pints, Miss
Dunn says.
“The assembly is about the
campus,” Audrey Holiday, Phi
Them president, revealed, “but
it isn’t exactly about_the campus
since it is out of ti world.”
Such confusing sm cements as
that are all that can be gleaned
in connection with the Friday
evening program in Gerlinger
hall.

plans which ranged all the way

cided to do it as a purely student
affair, run by students and with
no connection with the Co-op.
This year the service will be
managed by Edith Newton, Mar
jorie Young, and Anne Craven.
The decision to continue the
service this year was made at a
meeting of the Co-op board Wed
