Men to Receive Innings At Saturday Night Ball Mortar Board ball-going-gals, having asked the men of their | choice to the annual dance Saturday night, can throw back at | their dates all the Emily Post men ever displayed for them. But they won't have to pay $1.20 a couple for the dance. Con-: trary to this erroneous announcement, admission is only 60 j cents a couple. Phi Thetas and Kwamas are put ting the tickets on sale today at living organizations. Or the femi nine escorts may buy their tickets as. they enter McArthur court Sat urday night at 9. Yesterday the news was out that the senior women’s honorary was unable to secure an orchestra for the event. It will be the second dance this term at which records are the source of music. -m* In proverbial leap year fashion, girls will call for their dates at men’s residences—Hendrick’s hall, John Straub hall, Steiwer hall, Campbell club, or what have you. The next step will be dinner, prob ably at the girl's living organiza tion. To make the evening complete, the coed daters may furnish the gentleman with a flower for his buttonhole. In past years vegetable corsages have been fashionable. To please their companions, girls will open doors, help the men with their coats, carry any bothersome accessories the men may wish to unload on them, and take over the coat-checking task. In short, the girls have the opportunity to repay all date obligations. The Mortar Board ball has us ually been the last dance of the term, but the date was moved up with the thought that there may be fewer men on the campus later.

Patterson that 3,500, 000 -4-F’s between the ages of 18 and 37 will probably be inducted soon into army work battalions if they do not transfer to an essen tial industry, the Eugene Register Guard learned from Washington, D.C., that the rule will probably hold true for most 4-F college stu dents. Xo exact details have been ar ranged yet on handling the 4-F’s now in college, but they probably will not be eligible for deferments unless engaged in study in some essential field or engaged in part time employment in an essential field, selective service officials said. The move is part of an effort by the armed forces to get more men doing their utmost for the war effort. Patterson, in a speech ear lier Wednesday said the national manpower problems calls for "pas sage of national service legisla tion." "However," he added, “if we are not to have this measure passed promptly I believe there is solid merit in this new proposal to uti lize men who are not physically fit to enter military service.” Plans to draft men from 37 to 15, which have received some con sideration lately, were not included extensively in Wednesday's dis cussion. night. “We are very pleased with the way everyone has showed,” stated Co-chairmen Mary K. Minor am* Dorothy Rasmussen. “The drive has been successful and we are sure that every dollar contributed by the students of the University will be used where it will most help our servicemen here and over seas.” Each house representative is to leave the money she collected in an envelope marked with the name oT the house and the number of mem bers, according to instructions* from the chairmen, with her house mother. The envelopes will be collected Thursday afternoon, and any con tributions will still be accepted un til then and added to the house totals. Four sorority houses and nine lodges have not yet reached the 100 per cent mark and am urged to make this last attempt to do so. The winning house will bo announced Friday.
