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
