December 4 ; - a magic word around ASTU. ‘| And furlough—an even more 1 magic word—eight short letters I for eight even shorter days.

And then—home! “Hello Mom’’ | as you jump off the train, and “Bye Mom” as you hop right on ■( the next for the return trip.

And then back to U of a O fnv reinduction into school, or X just a session before the Pepper and Spite We keep harping on the same subject, but why not let Cy Bernstein take a crack at MC'ing Bailey's hot jazzy band? More people want Big Bill Larson to be acclaimed leader of our AAF glee club since he revealed such an intimate knowl edge of such a variety of songs at the fall festival held at the fair grounds last Friday night. Hit of the evening was his in terpretive rendition of that plaintive Negro spiritual, “Dese .bones \\ ill Rise Again. ' His per formance was highlighted by George Douglas’ tantalizing’ "Dance of the Spirits.” It is a real art to listen grace fully to a serenade. Where do you find girls that do it more beautifully than the Kappas ? Flight F has written new words to the song-, “One Keg of Beer,” especially for the sweet heart of their flight, Gloria Mar chi. Of Something Orchids for a nameless reason to a nameless telephone operator who is truly understanding. We can't vouch for it, but the rumor that Douglas fell asleep at Alder ledge Friday night has been widely accepted. It has become necessary to make quite definite the fact that Willner actually shot 146 while or. the rifle ranae. Why be cyni cal ? The Early Birds Who would think that the Fees would be forced to hang their mistletoe this early ? Bashful sol diers. What happened to the Flight H-sponsored radio program on the “Freedom Station?” We miss the news flashes, the underground propaganda, and above all the theme song—“Minnie the Mooch er.” If there's nothing else to do, the fire dept, can always run up to the campus to check a little blaze. The Alpha Chi Os are the latest to crave excitement. Goodbye Bored. Back for more weekday headaches, more Satur day afternoons at Robinson's, more Saturday evenings with U of O coeds. And regrets ?—Hard ly! Sho’ is good stargazin’ weath er—Guess I'll sample it. ! “Turn up shirt collars before leashing them . . This fella has the right idea—it’s just hi9 technique that’s a little sour. Shirt collars will last much longer if they are turned up before being sent to the laundry, for then the crease around the top doesn’t get such heavy rubbing and consequently lasts longer before fraying. Another fine point to remember—when you need new shirts, whether military or civilian, buy Arrow. They live up to their fine reputation for lasting wear and perfect fit. Don’t forget the Sanforized label, which guarantees fabric shrink age less than 1%. ARROW >: i.

Carrying ’■£ ''S'® BEFORE the war Bell Laboratories’ scientists put quartz crystals to work in such a way that twelve conversations are carried on two pairs of Long Distance wires at one time. Now with strategic metals so scarce, the Bell System is using only 6,000 tons of new copper a year instead of 90,000. And these liny crystals are helping to provide more communication for each pound used. They serve on the battle fronts, loo.
