VOLUME XLV NUMBER 118 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. TUESDAY. MAY 9, 1944 Anne Cravento Head Campus War Board for Coming Year Anne Craven, junior in journalism and this year's Emerald news editor, was appointed yesterday to the chairmanship of the campus war board, Audrey Holliday, president of the ASUO, announced. Miss Craven was appointed on the recommendation of J«an Frideger, present chairman. Also recommended was Martha Beard, junior in liberal arts, but because she is president of the senior class ior next year, sne couia not be considered. Appointments to committees on the war board will be made by Miss Craven, with Miss Frideger acting in an advisory capacity, according to a decision made last week by the executive council. Commenting on the war board’s coming year, Miss Craven said: As we all know, next year will be a crucial one for the Allies and war board activities will be more important than ever. Those of us who are going to school some times feel that it is worthless and that we should stop and enter some kind of war work. However, college-trained people will be needed after this war and Uni versity educators have maintained that the best possible way for us to help is to stay in school. The war board was set up so ^iat Oregon students could di rectly help the war effort and feel that they had a part in backing up the fellows overseas. More bandages than ever will be needed next year—and more scrap, more bonds and stamps. All war board activities will have to be stepped up to meet the pace which will be set by the invasion. It will take the cooperation of everyone on the campus to meet the new de mands and make next year’s war board activities a success. It will be hard to meet the high stand ards set by the present chairman, Jean Frideger, but we will do our best.

Sun Shines on Campus For Weekend Events A record crowd of Oregon Moth ers enjoyed exceptional weather and a full three days, when they visited the campus for Junior and Mothers’ weekend. Saturday’s program began at 4 p.m. with the terrace dance in front of the library. A good crowd en joyed the dance, in spite of the warm sun. The dance ended in time for the crowd to arrive at the Campus Pic nic at 5:30. Tapping by the honoraries, Mor tar Board, senior women’s honorary, Asklepiad, medical fraternity, and Friars, senior men’s honorary, took place as new members joined the black and white robed lines which marched through the crowd. The coronation of Queen Anita Fernandez by Prime Minister Bob Kirby was the highlight of the pic nic. The royal crown almost came to grief, however, when its bearer, Bobbie Cushman, son of Professor Robert Cushman of the religion de partment, became overcome by the sight of so many people. Bob Smith and Gloria. Malloy, co chairman of the campus clean-up campaign which slicked up the campus Thursday afternoon, award ed three new yellow brooms trimmed with green ribbons to Tri Delt, Hillcrest lodge, and Casablan ca lodge who were in charge of the center portion of the old campus, judged the cleanest. Wholesale dunking of helpless coeds went on through solemnity and fun alike. Fellows who did not hold to the traditions of the week end were publicly hacked on the stage during the picnic. Turnabout in one instance caused Ed Allen, dunker for the Order of the “O,” to fall headlong in the pool by the law school, when Joyce Rowe, a dunkee, firmly pushed him into the water. ”’TheTlong speculated Canoe Fete went off minus the proverbial hitch. There were seven floats on top of the water. "Little Jack Horner,” "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary,” "The Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe,” “The Cow Jumped Over the Moon,” “Mother Goose,” and other famous rhymes were represented. "Three Men in a Tub,” however, sank. At the Mother Goose bedecked prom Saturday night, the crowd which danced to the music of Bill Fisher’s hand saw several other tra ditional awards of Junior Weekend made. The KojI cup went to the out standing man, Jack Edwards, mem (1‘lcasc turn to page Jour) King, Miss Collins, Politz Winners in Library Contest Winner of the library contest chosen from 25 contestants whose library selections were on display over the weekend in the University library, is Hugh King, sophomore in liberal arts, whose basic collection includes 50 hand-picked books on liter ature, philosophy, religion, history, and science.
