"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.

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 . . .
For a special Christmas

Song hits may come and go,
but “Mighty Oregon’’ lives on.
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.”

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.
