- KHAKI CLIPS COMMUNIQUE By SHAUN McDERMOTT Last Sunday afternoon the Campus Serenade presented its first show of the term in Gerling er hall to an audience of GI’s, co eds, and civilians, many of whom were seeing Dittman, Klempner, Bailey, and company for the first ■^time. To say the least the show was terrific. Sy Klempner and Don Dittman gave out comedy at its best, and the orchestra was tops, individu ally and collectively. “Ace’’ Fehl berg, Bob Stotlar, Jack Blumen thal, Ralph Sutton, “Hot Lips’’ Getchel, and “Whitey” White were superb (and when an engineer praises an air corps man there must be quiet a basis for it). While handing out praises, the singers — Sue Welch, Jimmy Kayes and George Barker—and the other members of the outfit are to be included. For those of you who have yet to give yourselves the gift of sit ting in on a Campus Serenade, don’t miss the next one. It’s your best bet for a Sunday afternoon. While on the subject of the Cam pus Serenade, there's another top ic, a. new one for this column. It is directed straight at the older and presumably more sensible of the soldiers here—the FAL men of Company C. Detailed to remove the chairs AFTER the Serenade, they took it upon themselves to ruin the last five minutes of the show by their puerile antics. May be they’re in their second child hood, but let’s hope they grow out of it. As you might have been, or at least could have been, reading in the Emerald the last few days, the Military Ball will be held on February 5th in McArthur court. This is primarily a function of the military trainees, more especial ly the ASTU, on the campus, and there are hopes that it will be the top affair of the year. It is a formal, but, unfortunate ly, the GI’s are forced to relin quish their white tie and tails for the Class “A” uniforms. However, jj^is indicated that civilian men attending will be expected to don their “tuxes” for the occasion. To clear up the corsage prob lem, no one can force you to buy 5'our date a corsage, but it is a formal and flowers will be in or der. One of the strange ideas heard by this columnist is that, since it is free, it’s "just another dance”. To clarify that, the best orchestra in this section of the country can not, by army ruling, perform if an admission charge is made. That outfit, “Fathah Bailey & Crew” is playing for the ASTU Military I Ball. EUGENE HOTEL Presents ART HOLMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA in the Persian Room Dancing 9 ’til 12 I ^ Every Sat.

Culture and Reflection Have gone to two concerts now because people are quiet at a con cert and you have a chance to think. The 'cellist could have been a refugee from Petriilo’s Chicago local and we wouldn't have known the difference. But the people were quiet as they never are in the Side or in the barracks; not that we don't like din and people talk in gal la to nee. It was quiet and you could let your mind wander out the window if McArthur court lias any windows. Maybe it’s a poor reason to go to a concert; we’ll have to go some more to see. QlGsU, £e&i, /htd /ila+ut&i By AL YOUNG ON THE INSIDE, LOOKING )UT.—Yesterday, when we were marching to our math class, we 'aught ourselves musing over the 'ffect of a military formation on he civilian populace. We were specially interested in classify ng the various types of strategy mployed by the typical coed when he most direct route to her next lass is cut off by a passing mili ary formation. Probably the most predomin nt type of strategy is that em >loyed by the coed who attempts o get caught among not less than our formations; and then jumps ip and down, screaming- and gig ding, as though she didn’t really mow how to get out of her pre ticament( ?). Eventually, she con iescendingly gets out of the way nd the boys get back in step . . . his type, more often than not, uns in packs whence the name anus lupus ... a name synono nous with wolfess. Still a lesser known, if more in eresting, figure is cut by the gal ' bo sways and/or swaggers hrough a formation when it is ssembling. This type of strategy 5 generally known as the “whirl rind” or as they, themselves put t, “The shortest route from one lass to the next is between two oldiers.” Perhaps the most interesting of .11 strategies is used by the “lure ;irl” (a broad and inclusive class). Vhen she is intercepted by a for mation, she deftly raises one eye u-ow and thusly attracts the sol der’s attention. Then with a hythmic movement which bears emblance reminiscent of the an ient tribal dance, “Little Egypt”, moves the formation right off the calk while she swishes by. It is this latter type that offeis he most danger to military per onnel. However, we understand FOR ALL-AROUND TAILORING Also Cleaning and Pressing UNIVERSITY TAILOR 1128 Alder Ph. 2641 that one of the future army orien tation lectures is going tc> cover this subject, too.

We got there after they had run out of coke and hostesses; but, never theless, we enjoyed listening to some good records and just sitting around. One can do about any old thing-. . . dance, play cards, write, etc. . . . personally, we go a. little heavy on the etc. The only thing we didn't find was a floor show and a Petty gal. However, we hear that’s going to be remedied next week. The only suggestion we’d like to make is that they turn the lights a little lower around 11 o'clock . . . we don’t like to strain our eyes.
