iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniitiiiiiiiiiuiniiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiniiiiiiii ... ’Mllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ] MEET A BUDDY- \ By GLORIA MALLOY We picked up a lot of news in the Side recently. Lot of the old boys were there. We just spent most of the time buzzing around quizzing and bothering them till they gave us the info about what they’re doing and where they’re going. Flight Officer John Helmer, Fee Gee, the boy with the beam ing face, sat sipping a coke with quite a few Kappas hovering ctuoui mm, and when asked what the extra-special interest was or the campus, one said, “Oh John he’s one of our favorites.” John is on his way now to Columbia, ►"■South Carolina, where he will fur ther his training as a pilot of a B-25. If anyone has information about what Don Broderick is doing—will they please tell me. He's a V-5er in the navy air corps. The only thing he could say, was, < Just came up on a ship that docked here at the Side, and I've been here ever since.” His main interest at the moment seemed to be taken up with Barbara Lamb, AOPi. The Woods brothers, Pat and Dick, were having a brotherly con versation over a couple of “cokes.” They are both in the army air corps—Pat, a private who will be ^oing to Fresno when he leaves here, and Dick, a lieutenant who has just graduated from advanced training at Marfa, Texas, and will in the near future be stationed at Albuquerque, New Mexico. Oh yes, a very good looking twm Some was seen walking about this week — Ensign George “Sharky” Arbuckle and Pi Phi Mary -Jane Simmons. Thinks looked as-if the two were getting along very well. Sharky has just finished" his train ing in a mine sweeper school and is now waiting for overseas duty. ATO Bob Whitely who is now a staff sergeant in the army air -c&rps and serving as a bombardier stopped here on his way through to Portland. He spent most of his time looking up the old friends but says, “You could count the peo ple I know on this campus at pres ent on the fingers of one hand— but it still looks plenty good to me.” Got another communique from Pfc. Darrell Briilenstine who is somewhere in the South Pacific with the air corps. He says that Pete Torrcia is there and is at tached to a guard company. Theta Chi Joe Wicks is on a nearby is land attached to the Second Ma rine division, the one of Tarawa fame. He along with the rest of his unit is resting up for a while. Darrell says, “Wicks, Torrcia and myself are definitely looking for ward to two things—the end of this war, and those beautiful Ore gon coeds.” Ensign Lee E. Schmidt is in the U. S. Naval hospital at Rancho Santa Fe, California, recuperating from a broken arm. As to how and When he got it is unknown to your columnist although I do know he has been serving overseas. Some have it pretty tough! Earl Hall, Theta Chi, and pharmacist's mate in the navy is now stationed at Tillamook, Oregon, the land of the “cheese, trees and ocean breeze.” Five Commissioned We have it from reports that Bud Putnam, Pete Burnett, Bill Frank, Clinton Hill, and Dick Rich ardson have just received those en sign stripes having graduated from Columbia university in New York. Staff Sergeant Ed Erickson, who is stationed on the island of Sar dinia, was asked in a recent letter when he and some of the other fellows would be coming home. This was his reply, “Well, do you blame us when we get something out of this war? For instance, af ter serving one year overseas they pay you one hundred dollars, after two years they give you two hun dred dollars, and then after three years they give you a straight | jacket. I know one thing—the straight jacket I’ve got just fits.” BILLS PAID FOR YOU The fastest, safest way to pay your bill is: BY CHECK! There is no danger of your pay ment going astra}', because your cancelled check is the best receipt you can have. Open your own check account.

Advanced First Aid Course for Fall Term An opportunity for students in terested in taking advanced first aid instruction is to be offered fall term when all those who have passed their beginning first aid course may sign up for advanced. First Aid Chairman Annamae Win ship is in charge of arranging for the course and everyone interested may contact her at 1780. Since there are summer paid jobs available for young women with extensive first aid training who can qualify as instructors, it is planned that the advanced course will be followed by an instructors' course during winter term. For those who are unable to take the advanced course in the fall there is a possibility one might be arranged during winter and then followed up by the instructors’ course in American Red Cross first aid in spring term. Money, Jewelry (Continued from page 1) and bureau drawers had been rum maged through. No clues leading to the where abouts of the money had been dis covered last night.

Power Plus The power and influence exerted by the Borgia Girl operators is plainly evidenced in the case of the treasurer of the junior class, who upon arriving at dessert on the Gamma Gurka house menu called in to headquarters to re ceive instruction on which course to take- lemon chiffon or goose berry pie. “Gooseberry,” was the suggestion—immediate, curt, and final. That she weakened, threw caution to the winds and chose gooseberry completes and con cludes the story and points the vivid moral—as she died of acute indigestion not more than 15 min utes later. The Boo-Baas meanwhile had i not been idle either--especially the segment supporting Henda Bruit. Led by the copyreader-in-chief of the student gardening guide, this little group had spent the summer painstakingly cooking up strategy over a slow, continuous, simmering flame—and had emerged with a breathlessly clever plan of attack- - the hinting campaign. Of this more will be said subsequently. Lip Slips Thus, as the nomination eve ap proached both parties were in ab solute readiness. The Baa-Baas were in a state of overanxiety and jumped the gun, however. The name of the Baa-Baa candidate hopped out of the bag when one of the Borgia Girls let it slither off her tongue while necking in a swing with the editor of the Daily Bleat. But when the revelation screamed in headlines in next morning's paper, no one was much surprised. It had been quite apparent for years that the Baa-Baa candidate this year would be Sallee Smilee, chairman of the coop slip commit tee, the “Keep J. C. Halls Tidy” committee, the phonograph pro curement committee of the Frosh Gallop, the Sophomore Rugcut, and the Junior Razzle-Dazzle, and due to unavoidable circumstances, vice chairman of the student drinking fountain committee. While the student body as a whole knew in advance of the choice of the candidate only a select few were “in the know” con cerning the method by which the candidates for president were chosen. (Tomorrow's continuation of the third article in the series will re veal the little-known method.) 'lit!,:'::!’! Biology Meet Held; Genetics Main Topic Genetics was the theme of the sixth annual biology colloquium held in the Memorial Union building of Oregon State college Saturday, April 22. The meeting, which is held with the idea of getting biologists of the Northwest together, was attended by the following of the University facutly: Dr. R. R. Huestis, professor of zoology; Dr. A. L. Soderwall. instructor of zool ogy; F. P. Sipo, associate professor of botany; and Mrs. Helen Wolf sehr, graduate assistant in biology. Dr. George Beadle, one of the outstanding geneticists of the coun try and professor of biology at Stanford university, was leading speaker. In the morning session his topic was "The Need for Integra tion of Biological Sciences," and he stated that every scientist should know something about all fields of science, or at least work with someone who has the par ticular knowledge lacked. In a talk at the colloquium din ner that night he stressed “The Integration of Genetics with the Other Biological Sciences.” Dr. Huestis was one of the meet ing leaders, and spoke Saturday afternoon on “Genetics and Geo graphic Distribution.” He has been doing research, mostly with mice, to determine the effects of en vironment on genetic character istics, and has found that color, for instance, may be changed by an animal’s surroundings. Other speech topics were: "The Importance of Vitamin Research to the Biological Sciences,” by Dr. v. ■ ' ■ . Vernon D. Cheldelin, assistant pro fessor of chemistry at OSC; "Gen etic Relationships in Parasitic Fungi as a Factor in Perpetuating Plant Disease,” by Dr. Charles 3. Holton, who is connected with Washington State college as a plant pathologist; and "Practical Application of Genetics in Crop Plants” by Dr. Robert E. Fore, professor of farm crops and agron omist at the Oregon agricultural experiment station at OSC. Several OSC science honoraries assisted with the meeting. Fhi Kappa Phi was the sponsor; Sigma Xi gave a noon luncheon; and tea was served in the afternoon by Phi Sigma and Omicron Nu. The colloquium was attended by over a hundred biologists, most of them from Oregon college and uni versity faculties. Going, Going (Continued from taoc one) baby shoe.
