J lowever, to replace the traditional canoe fete of other years there arc plans to present an all-campus sing that will be en larged this year to present talent of all kinds. The canoe fete this vear is an impossibility because of both the lack of seating facil ities on the Mill race and male students with sufficient free time to build the floats. The junior class did present to the educational activities board plans for a musical comedy, but the board did not feel that any of the plans presented could be added to the already crowded program, and also that the students could not in the sliort time they had left before Junior weekend, completely finish and pro duce tire type of show they had planned. % Jfc * % 'l'his caused a definite realization that the way junior class es have operated in the past and even this year, leaving the plans for junior weekend, and even the selection of the chairman of the event until such a comparatively short time before the event, is a major mistake. The board cannot tell the junior class that they definitely cannot present a show of the proposed nature, but they did re commend it, and the junior class recognized the value of this suggestion. Therefore they are planning to present the weekend in the style it has been in the past, without the addition of a new show to fill the already crowded program. * .+ ■ * * There will be an all-campus sing, a terrace dance, a sunlight serenade, a campus luncheon, and a Junior J’rom. \\ ith such a variety it seems that with some good planning and effort by the whole committee, junior weekend has possibilities even in war time of living up to its traditions. Clips and Comment By MARGUERITE WITTWER Coeds at the University of Washington are not above rooch ing dates for their room mates whenever the occasion demands and sometimes this little talent can cause situations—and you know what those are. One day a little girl decided to get a date for her two room mates. For a week the girls were held in breathless suspense at the coed’s descriptions of the two men she had in tow for them—tall, handsome and officers at that. The fatal night arived and the men appeared for their dates. Only one fact had been omitted in the descriptions of them; they were officers in a Scottish regiment ami wore, not trousers, but kilts. Publicity stunt a la the Univers ity of California—and they really go in for the stuff down there, we understand! At a noon rally pub licizing the freshman class Shan grl-lu informal, colored balloons containing free bids to the dance will be dropped from the roof of a campus building into the waiting crowd of students Ik'Iow . . . This might develop into a fine free-for all, huh? At the University of Kansas a coed and an ASTP wrote letters back and forth on the desk which they both occupied in successive morning classes for several weeks. One day she received a note with the information that he would like to meet her. After several days of rangements were made. She was tall and dark and would be sitting in the periodical room of the li brary in a pair of red anklets. (At ease!) At the last minute she weaken ed, and afraid to meet the GI on her own she bribed every other tall dark girl in her house to put on red socks and accompany her. The soldier arrived. He found six tall dark girl's in red anklets sitting around a table, reading newspa pers and calling each other Betty. After a nervous five minutes the ASTI’ left the room—shaken and bewildered, no doubt. The note writing was discontinued . . . What is their trouble?

Jdette/ii to the CdUtak Eighth Air Force England January 22, 1944 Ye Ed: As an ex-Emerald columnist, I feel it only duty to inform the campus populace of doings where I am now stationed. It’s been a helluva long time since last I beat out a “Jam for Breakfast’’ under the tutelage of Helen Angell, Lyle Nelson, etc. but home is where the heart lies, and, currently memories force me to re-live the College Side days, etc. Old alum Hallock is, at present, a bombardier of the Boeing add variety, engaged in delivering greeting cards to various and sundry “jerries”. Odd occupation for a journalist. Further, Hallock reports the location of Pat Riley, the Kappa Sig, at a P-47 fighter base near here. Other “old grads” have as sembled lately at a “homecom ing” ceremony in London’s Gros venor House. Rest assured, even without a '43 football team, we have enough to talk about. • Am enclosing a story from our E. T. O. “Yank” on our other Oregon man. Mayhap it will be of interest. Till I can return to “God’s country,” adieu and bon chance. Sincerely, Ted Hallock P. S.: All correspondence appreci ated. Address: Lt. J. T.

Applications for both scholar ships may be obtained from the dean of women's office and the deadline for turning them in is March 1. Up From UO By PEGGY OVERLAND Germany has distinguished him for special international attention by conferring upon liini membership in the Halle, Germany, the oldest academy of science in the world; Finland, Europe’s distraught and friend less pawn, decorated him with the Order of the White Rose, the greatest medical honor established by that nation; and Great Britain has pre sented him with the highest recognition in medicine offered by the Brit ish empire—the Cameron prize from the University of Edinburgh. Tied up in these three awards is the recognition and admiration of a i strange international triangle—one composed almost entirely of nations hostile to each other. Whether or not the war has had any effect upon their presentation is not known. Germany has probably repudiated the entire award and Finland might be regretting her move, as seen from her present political situation, but at least Great Britain’s heart is still behind the Cameron prize. The overhaul result has been to raise Dr. William Parry Murphy, who majored in biology at the University in 1914 and was a member of Alpha Kappa Kappa on the campus, to a position of both national and international importance. The reasons for the prominent recognition bestowed upon him by the powers lay in the vastly important work on “liver therapy in anemia” which he had done while associated with the Harvard Medical School in 1929 and while he was Research Instructor in Medicine. He was also at this time, an associate in Medicine at Peter Bent Girgham hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. Together with Dr. George Minot, he investigated and experimented with the treatment of pernicious anemia, which until eight years previous had been considered incurable. The result of his work was that he dis covered a potent liver extract which, when given in the form of a powder, is successful in combating the disease, caused by an insufficient supply of red corpuscles in the blood. Quiet and reserved, Dr. Murphy never did speak much about the award which was conferred upon him in recognition of this work, but his name is listed among the three who received the 1934 Nobel prize in medicine. Although he didn’t say much he acted immediately, taking his share of the $41,000 prize and converting it into a laboratory for further scientific research. Whether or not, Dr. Murphy ever astounds the world again wlUi another important discovery, his contribution to medicine will reirnuh as one of vast significance and importance. The disease, which at one time was regarded in the same light as we place tuberculosis, may now be regarded with no more alarm than any other minor affliction. While Dr. Murphy represents the University in the highest circles of the medical field, his two brothers, George E. and Harry E. Murphy, who both graduated from the University with LL.B. degrees, are famous manufacturers of spars for ships, and will go down to posterity as the makers of the spars in the ship “Bounty”, for the film, “Mutiny on the Bounty”. A Blip &jj the JUp By BETTY SAILOR Xow that the Military Ball has become a pleasant memory, we'd like to thank the soldier-students for a wonderful time. It will probably linger potently in the memory of your columnist for some time to come, as, in the hurry of preparations, we man aged to knock half a box of soap flakes off the closet shelf, and are now trudging around the campus in soap'filled shoes and stock- „ mgs. First we would like to set tne minds of Steiwer hall at rest. We had a complaint about a cer tain item that was printed last week, and so we’d like to say that the remark applied to only about five residents of that living organ ization. Incidentally, we heard that their house dance last Friday night was quite a success. Surprise couple of the evening were Dee Gee Marilyn Glenn and Wally Johnson. The humorous touch was added about 10:30 when the fuses all blew out just as the evening was getting under way. Speaking of traveling, Dee Gee Sue Stater is mighty excited over the fact that Bob McDonald, last year’s ATO president, is expected to arrive Wednesday from Florida for a few days’ visit. And what’s this we hear about that unique new romance between Betty Anne Zemon and Air Corps man Bill Glikbarg, who met at a recent mixer and discovered that they lived across the street from each other when they were five years old ? That little friendship between Tri Delt Jane Kern and Sigma Chi Jack Titus sounds pretty nice, and icmember that question last week about whether or not Marge Ailing ham would make up her mind or not ? Well, she did and it’s a mighty pretty ring. And while we’re on the subject of rings, check that diamond that AOPi Marjorie Ott is wearing from Sgt. Fritz Weber of the Air Corps Ground Abserva tion corps. We hear that wedding bells will | soon ring in the East for Carl Thompson, engineer, and, by the way, we’ve been told that Pat West and Paul Young of Company A are being seen in the Side with different girls every day. What’s the secret of your success, fellahs? .Then there are always the torch carriers like Mary Ellen Poland, Rae Florey, and Bobbi Bealer, Seems that the latter two have little “understandings” with the navy. Guess the Thetas got a surprise Sunday when a group of lieuten ants from Camp Adair dropped in. Lucky gals were Martha Hoch, Elloise Mulhausen, Cynthia Wood cock, Betty Sprague, and Lynn McIntosh. From the Kappa mansion comes word that Shirley Beller Johnson has been visiting for a few days and might attend school spring term while her husband is in'fee armed forces. Now' for a few’ comments and such on the Military Ball: Among those present were Nancy Sullivan with fiance Dave Zilka of Camp Adair; that steady couple, Dee Gee Kaye Sharp with Dick Peters; Rosemary Albers with Johnny King, Engineer; Kappa’s Janet Roberts and Mary Barnett with Air Corps men Lou Hall and A1 Young; Nancy Gloor and Charlotte Guthrie, Alpha Phis, with Jim Croudace and Archie Bohn. Kay Henshaw with Johnny Wei sel, Steiwer hall candidate for King of Hearts; Betty Sprague and Bob Smith; and AOPi’s Maxine Martin, Martha Tapp and Altha Paul with (Please turn to page three)
