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.

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.

Decline And Fall
by DICK MURWAY
Reflections on a tragic night at
the side.
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?

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.
