KHAKI CLIPS COMMUNIQUE The Campus Serenade, the best innovation on the Oregon campus last fall, will make its first ap pearance of the new term on Sun day, January 23, at a site to be announced later. For those un familiar with it, the Campus Ser enade is a variety show featuring the comedy of Cy Klempner, the sweet and hot music of Owen ,'gpilpy and orchestra, and the emceeing of Don Dittman. In ad dition there will be plenty more entertainment for all the GI’s and coeds who take in this show. The most concentrated oppor tunity for the soldiers to get ac quainted with the numerous co eds on the campus will extend through next Saturday afternoon and night with the Nickel Hop, basketball game and ISA Mixer. To start the ball rolling, the doors of all women’s houses will be thrown open from 5:30 to 7:30 in anticipation of an invasion by males. The men, on the other hand, have the pleasant opportunity of ^frsiting any and every women’s living organization, armed with address book and pencil. For the price of 5 cents, any soldier can dance with that “dream girl” that he’s been staring at and wanting to meet for weeks past. After the basketball game (Ore gon vs. Oregon State) the ISA Canteen Mixer dance will be held in Gerlinger hall, with Owen Bailey furnishing' the music. This is a no-date, no charge affair and another chance to get acquainted, especially for the new group of engineers just starting their train ing here. You may have prejudices jrbout this place, but you definite ly can have a good time on the weekends, so hop out through the rain and fog Saturday and join the fun. With these various events, it is hoped that this Saturday will be the beginning of a new era here. In the past there have been dances and other social events, but not enough to satiate the work-laden soldier and civilian students. Saturday night usually meant just another-trip to Eu gene and the Mac. The S-5 com mittee has hopes for a regular schedule of dances, possibly with i£^e every week, which would be held on the campus with the soldiers' orchestra and no admis sion charge.. This idea, along with many others concerning so cial life on the campus, will be discussed at a banquet next week, which will be attended by the soldier’s S-5 committee, the social chairleaders of the various wom en’s organizations, army officers and University officials. HEiliG Starts Today TEX RITTER OKLAHOMA RAIDERS" and TOM CONWAY "SEVENTH VICTIM" Spy-Ring Intrigue JOHN GARFIELD and MAUREEN O’HARA in "FALLEN SPARROW" Brass, Beer, f And Blondes HITS AND MISSES—It ap pears as though Dave Gibson, Flight F's candidate for swoon crooner, belongs in the same cat egory as Tex Harris (Tex thinks an ensign is a cadet; hence doesn’t rate a salute) when it comes to military courtesy. The other day Dave was in the midst of his du ties as flight sergeant when his long time (?) frill, Helen Craw ford, strolled by with a good look ing young ensign on her arm. Dave stood, glued to the spot, gaping at the ensign (an old friend of the family, no doubt) while she pass ed by and gave him a poor rela tions look, Dave failing in the meanwhile to call his flight to at tention and salute. Well, that was only a good start for our boy Gib son. Later that day he ran into the ensign (still in the company of boomer gal, Crawford) and once again failed to show proper military courtesy. On that same afternoon he was shorn of his brass and reduced in rank. ‘Tis rumored he missed bedcheck, too . . . Wonder who caught up with him first, Helen or the ensign. RODNEY—We don't know about the engineers, but as for us Rodney is plenty o.k. Rodney, who incidentally leads a dog’s life, may break their ranks, chew their sarge, or bite the Major, however, this is only the result of his air corps training. Rodney is so well trained that he can fill in as flight leader, right guide, and, if need be, Colonel William A. Larsen. Rodney is the only non-expendable member of the detachment. In fact, it is rumored that he may he Flight D’s next flight leader. .*:< * $ OF TIME AND TIDE.—This is the eighth month between the cloistered walls of Hendricks hall ...

The American people have learned to place great faith in neon signs and billboards—neon signs especially. You might say our whole society is based on the essential truth of billboards and neon signs especially . . . When the sign outside states quite clearly “beer, wine, good food” and then the waitress says. “We’re out of beer, sorry” a trust is violated and the structure irre parably weakened; thoughts re the decline of a culture are nour ished . . . How would you feel if your sis ter was attracted to a beauty salon’s “SUPERB PERMANENT WAVES” and didn’t get a superb permanent -wave ? How would your sister feel ? Okay, you might laugh it off once as an accident... But when it happens again and again you start wondering. Maybe you’ve seen these places bragging in reel and green: AMERICA’S LARGEST HOT DOG, 10c. Every time it’s a lie; strong words but the situtation demands them. You can’t continue to laugh it off when sign after sign, promise after promise is proved false. Once upon a time the standard PARK ING 25c was reliable; now the at tendant may find you a spot for half a rock . . . among the de fense worker’s cars, if he likes your face. You can’t laugh it off when the structure is weakened like that. And then the waitress says, “We’re out of beer and chips too, sorry” she smiles . , . Thoughts re the decline of a cul ture are nourished. his friends, who had just lost his brass and was enjoying his new found freedom in evening study. At 1955 Richard Miller yelled, “Take a break, Flight G”. Im mediately after, Willner chortled “Take a break, Flight F”. We guess it was force of habit, but, Willner, have you forgotton so soon ? Number two candidate is Short who, when queried by the visiting major as to the whereabouts of a telephone, led the major down stairs to Hend rick’s pay phone—Wonder: how come he didn't offer to make change too? By AL YOUNG k ive out of every six members of the 1943 graduating class in the agriculture at Washington State college are in the armed service. Of those who are not in uniform three are working for state gov ernments or institutions, one is teaching vocational agriculture and two are farming. Rollins college recently cele brated its fifty-eighth annivers ary. ASTU Cagers Start Season The ASTU Engineers who journeyed to Camp Abbot came back with interesting reactions to the G. I. camp—so interesting they were tempted to start study ing. Bob Nail, rangy forward of the Brainbusters, commented "Ten degrees below and eighteen miles from nowhere.” Some form er ASTU men now in the service at Camp Abbot acted as guides for the Army-Duck crew, and no doubt many of the ASTU men took a good look around to sec what things would (or will) be like. The Army-Duck crew lost both games, 39-37 and 41-36. If both Moylan and Kramme, Ihe two high scorers at Camp Ab bot, can "get hot” the Army-Duck quintet ought to win Sunday's game with the Tillamook Naval Air Base Middies, at 2 o’clock in McArthur court. Another week of "Honest John’s’’ workouts ought to put the ASTU men in position to down powerful five. The starting five of Moylan, Nail, Meyer, Cuthbert, and Kramme have the potentialities bf a win ning team, and Sunday will give them a chance to turn fodder into beefsteak.
