Comedy climaxed drama in the second act when Louis ASTUs Lay Plans For Military Ball With less than two weeks left to complete all arrangements for the Military Ball on February 5 the ASTU S-5 (social) committee is going all out to make it the form al affair of the year. From the publicity committee have come dark hints about state anil nation-wide publicity, and from the program committee have come whispers of important pub lic personages being invited. These inner rumblings will be made public within a few days. Though some of the traditions of the Military Ball, such as the selection of a "little Colonel” anil the “March under the Sabers, ’ must of a necessity be shelved for the duration, the program com mittee promises a program that will more than make up for their omission. With program planners and or ganizers from schools all over the country, music by an outfit like “Fathah Bailey and his Crew", and a will to do something big, the Military Ball promises to be one of the best afairs of its kind on the campus. Emerald Will Put Out Second Issue Compiled Especially for Servicemen Originated by Jenelyn Gaston, junior in archi tecture, a second servicemen's issue of the Emerald will be sent to 800 Oregon alumni located through out the United States.

The paper will consist of the regular size, four pages and according to Miss Gaston future copies will be issued as often as possible at regular in tervals. Names and addresses of the men to whom the Emerald will be sent were obtained from the alumni office servicemen’s files. Anyone wishing the fu ture copies of the paper to be sent to other Oregon men in the armed forces should file the names and addresses in the alumni office. Miss Gaston extended an invitation to all girls who would like to obtain the military addresses of men they know in the services for correspondence, to make use of the files. This issue will only be sent to men ir. the classes of 1942 to 1946 inclusive. The first experimental issue sent out last year was received with great appreciation by the men, according to the letters received by .Miss Gaston. Soldiers wrote that their copies of tlie Emerald were read column by eolumn and then passed on to the waiting: line of Oregon men, eager to get news of the campus. Miss Gaston received several letters from moth ers of the boys, stating their appreciation of the University’s efforts in their behalf and adding more addresses to the mailing lists. Although the special issue, will only be sent to men serving within the United States, efforts aie being made to secure permission to publish ar. even more condensed copy of the Emerald in V-mail form. Emeralds can not be sent overseas under pres ent mailing conditions unless the recipient and sender can obtain a requisition for the paper from the commanding officer. - According to Miss Gaston, a V-mail newspaper would involve considerable additional expense but the certain appreciation of Oregon alums overseas would make the venture worthwhile.

Her scene following her first ride after her supposed recovery frc.n the operation had a snappy au tumn atmosphere, highlighted by her tweed riding costume and red jerkin.
