"Air Corps Men Want Extra Hour Wanted: One extra, hour each day to be provided for the air corps students. Why: Because during this time (with a little left over from the actual pre scribed schedule) a crack air ^■oi ns basketball team could be trained. Result: The pre-meteor ology detachment would place a quintet on the hardwood this winter that could hold its own in army, navy, or intercollegiate competition. Here is the situation that faces the Hendricks haliers. The boys are itching to get a chance at forming a detachment team, but, when it comes to the actual time allotted for such practice, the “higher ups” say “N—O.” It's true that the fellows do get one half-hour each day “to do with as they please.” But if a well rounded, bucket-hitting team is be developed, they will need more than' just a half hour’s scamper up and dowm the court every day. The air corps cagers are not just a bunch of slap-happy kids who are eager to work out in the /j^loo. About 15 of the pre-mets W'ive had college experience in such great basketball institutions as Kansas U., Wisconsin, and N.Y.U. Besides this, high school “all staters” are a dime a bak er’s dozen. Bill Mitchell is one eager who could wear a varsity uniform on anybody’s ball club. He's a great team man and can hit the bucket >from any spot in McArthur ex cept second row center, balcony. Windham, Toomb, Thompson, Bovyer, and Medlin are just a few of the men who have been spark plugs of various frosh and varsity teams throughout the country. The standout just, up from ^tfi'^gh school is little “Red” Wil , Amis. Red paced his San Diego high school quintet to a state championship and has been a flash on the court here. It would be hard to keep Joyce, Gienopo lis, Harvey, or Butkus off the ^’•e-met first string—if one could be produced. Such a com bination of men couldn't miss; they have speed, height, accur acy, and basketball sense. To the ASTPs, a pat on the back from the pre-mets for a swell job done on the gridiron. But now the AAP men want to show their stuff by taking on neighboring camps and colleges on the hardwood courts. —By S.D.F. iiiimimini KHAKI CLIPS COMMUNIQUE After slashing through and dodging around the red tape of officialdom, the ASTU premiered the “Campus Serenade" featur ing Owen Bailey and the orches tra last Sunday in Gerlinger hall. The show, me’ed by Don Ditt mann, entertained the soldier civilian audience with music from the orchestra, songs by Sue Welch, Joe Dongarra and John Witty and a skit by Sy Klemp ner and Bill Stretch. At present, nothing is in the fire for this Sunday, but another show is being planned for next week as well as a scheduled se ries for next semester. So cheer up, all you movie-weary lovers of good entertainment . . . here’s something to brighten your Sun day afternoons. If you don’t be lieve us, see for yourself at the next “Campus Serenade.” While in a congratulatory mood, the ASTU football team, minus some of its original stars but plus a few of the new Com pany D boys, proved their strength by the comfortable score of 28-0 over the Marshfield Cavalry “Tankers.” The future schedule of the team is, as has been shown, quite doubtful. That incomparable piece of journalism, the “ASTU,” will soon re-enter the U of O literary field with Bob Stephensen as editor. Functioning throughout the sum mer with great success, but dis continued since the beginning of fall semester, the paper will prob ably become a permanent feature of the military unit here. Michigan State finally got their competition. Tonight, despite the protests of test-tormented engineers, the men of the military units will parade down Willamette street from Fifth street to the Civic stadium in commemoration of Armistice day. .(We can't quite understand it either.) The line of march will commence at 1930, alias 7:30 o'clock. Once vagain, the portals of so rorities, dorms, and women's co-ops have been thrown open on Wednesday nights to the male students. At this writing the re sult is unknown, but if it is some thing like the others, it’s bound to be plenty good. Living and learning under the strain of war conditions necessitates relaxa tion, and these open-houses are definitely the mid-week highlight of the soldiers here. Our thanks to the committee and all the gals. CRESTS AND INSIGNIAS For all fraternities, sorori ties, Army. Navy, Marine, and Air Corps. The boys are proud to be known as fraternity men, even now while they are away in the service ... it gives them a concrete tie with the home-campus and traditions that they are fighting for . . .

Not only does it live on but it produces such lyrics as those by O. R. Kidd and Arnie Luce . . . the “Sweethearts of Sigma Chi": “Oregon, the land of sunshine, Where there’s never any rain; Yet the people swim down Main street, Even deep-sea fish complain. Wrhen I'm once more in O-hi-o, Where the sun is shining bright, I won’t need a life preserver VVhen I go to bed at night.” -—Shaun McDermott BUY UNITED STATES SAVINGS /bonds a AND STAMPS ASTU Appears Next Friday Michigan State army trainees are putting out their own paper. Fancy that! Not that we have taken the hint or anything (t can't possibly be that the Emer ald has been hinting that it has n't room for the army news at Eugene) but ASTunit 3920 has been planning its own paper, too. The ‘'ASTU," term magazine written by and dedicated to the personnel of the unit, has set its deadline as tomorrow afternoon. This will enable the staff to have it finished and distributed by the following Friday. The magazine will be a 15-page mimeographed job with humor, \ action and personalities portray- ! ing the pursuits, problems and ' playtime of the average Astuman. With a generous sprinkling of light articles, poetry, cartoons, good stories . . . and even civil ian impressions, the magazine ought to do quite well the job it has assigned itself. Naturally, all copy will have been censored by the superior of ficers of the unit but, even so, the magazine will be restricted in distribution to the men of the four A9TT companies. Civilians interested in securing copies might be able, to arrange some thing with almost any Astuman. —Bob Stephenson For a neatly tapered haircut try the Kampus Barber Shop, 849 E. 13th Street. C.
