• VOLUME XLV NUMBER 27 UNIVERSITY OR OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1943 Skerry Wins Election Harry Skerry, senior in law, was elected to the position of sen ior representative by a majority -S|)te of the ASUO executive coun cil Tuesday. This position became vacant when Kay Jenkins, senior in lib eral arts, was declared ineligible. Skerry was one of four candidates nominated from the campus at -Jarge, whose petitions were con sidered by the council. His activity record, as stated in a nomination sent in by Peter Howard, junior in law, includes Vice-presidency of the law school student body, chairman of the Wartime fraternity coordinating committee, and presidency of Phi Kappa Psi. The council also discussed the Question of the formation of a ci vilian band on the campus which would be available for large danc es at McArthur court. At present, no orchestras are available, since the army swing band cannot play at campus dances organized on a I profit basis. Jean Page, chairman of the stu dent coordinating committee, pre sented a report on the new Wed nesday night swing mixer plan. The plan was later approved by the student affairs committee. The appointment of Phyllis Horst man as a member of the student affairs committee was approved. John Warren Priming Plays By LOREN SHANK | Running through new plays in •preparation for Sunday’s game with tlie Marshfield 104th caval ry occupied most of the time in Thursday’s football practice. Sev eral new plays, which Coach War ren has been holding up his sleeve, have been the main part of the practices thus far this week and probably will show up in Sunday’s game. Several pass plays are com ing to light along with some nice running plays. Injmies suffered by the team have been kept to a minimum thus far in the season. Bentivegna, “Dreamy Eyes” to the players, has a broken finger but will prob ably be in at left end during the game. Lysle Somers still has his leg bandaged but will be able to get in the game. Although he sprained his ankle in the first game, Bob Pinnick will be in good condition for the game on Sunday. .^Sunday's game promises to be a tough one for the ASTUs as the “Tankers” will be out for revenge after losing the initial encounter of the season. The once before de feated cavalry team will proba bly be a much tougher one this time. With Yohn and Johnson baugh as the two main cavalry threats against the ASTUs, Coach .Warren is not making any pre dictions on the game. Yohn is very fast on his feet and Johnsonbaugh excels as a passer.

Child Study Members of the University symposium have voted to use "Ju venile Delinquency in the State of Oregon,” as their discussion topic, Director Robert D. Clark, stated Thursday. Work will be started at once to find the nature and extent of the problem in Oregon through cor respondence with officials in the state and through material al ready printed, Clark said.

Her flaming portrayal of Oscar Wilde’s unpleasant heroine in Sa lome thrilled audiences in Paris and New York. In previous per formances one of the ballet girls had performed the Dance of the Seven Veils, a difficult, emotional work, but when Miss Lawrence took the part, she decided to the dance herself. She studied the dance under Yeichi Nimura, great Japanese dancer and teacher, and thus gave a complete interpreta tion of the heroine. An outdoor girl all her life, she had early learned to ride horse back.

Examination Today For Pre-Med Hopefuls Pre-med aptitude tests will bo given today from 2 to 4 o’clock in room 105 of the journalism build ing.

So far about 60 per sons have signed up to take it on the campus but more are expect ed. Campus Mixers Back Again; Coeds Adopt Schedule Change Next Wednesday night the oft-tried, oft-can celed swing mixers will again grace the campus social calendar, according to Jean Page, chairman of the student coordinating committee. The mixers will follow a new "divide 'em” up schedule which the committee believes will distrib ute the actual mixers held, and the campus male population, in a more satisfactory way. Since an estimated 650 men, civilian and army students, attend these mixers, and since the coeds are about 1200 strong, the committee has W'orkcd out a semi-monthly scheme to smooth out the un even distribution. This is the plan: Every week a mixer will be held. Girls' living organizations will be divided into two groups, and men students will be assigned to group “A" one week, and group "B” the next. Each women’s organization will thus hold a mixer every other week, and the civilian and army men may at tend every week. The student affairs committee approved two mixers for the remainder of this term at its Thurs day meeting. If the plan is a success, the same idea may be continued for the rest of the year. The student coordinating committee will meet Monday to draw up a schedule, which will be an nounced in Tuesday's Emerald. Duo to lack of opportunity for a sufficient number of rehear sal a before this weekend, the ASTTJ glee club will be unable to appear in the program. However, the or ganization will be prepared to take part in future entertainments. In. the meantime, an effort is being made to find a substitute for this week’s show. The scene of the “Campus Sere nade” has been .set for Gerlinger hall at 3 p.m. Plans are being made for tiro presentation of weekly programs; similar to the one this week. At tendance at this first show will determine the continuation of t3ic Sunday afternoon serenades. A re quest for talent volunteers is be ing circulated among the soldier students and it is hoped that ci vilian students may also partici pate in future shows.
