Coop Textbooks
Now Available
Ada Zinser, manager of the Co
op textbook department, reports
that almost all winter term text
books are now available, although
quantities of some are limited.
The "Oxford Anthology of Eng
lish Poetry,” which failed to ar
rive fall term, is now available
once more.
Some special orders which went
unclaimed all fall term will now
go back on the general shelf. The
Co-op urges that students be pa
tient when orders fail to arrive on
time. Inexperienced help in the
publishing houses and poor ship
ping service often delay arrival of
the books. It cites the following
example:
September 25 the Co-op ordered,
by telegram, textbooks and other
"^materials for the beginning class
in “Principals of Accounting.” Jan

and the publishing houses both in

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
A B-25 was taking off somewhere in North Africa. It crashed
and hurst into flames. Private Eugene A. Ganter rushed forward
with three other soldiers to aid the crew. The heat was overwhelming
hut Ganter and his companions, drenched from the hoses of rescue
apparatus, rescued three crew members from the blazing ship. Then
Ganter returned to remove loaded 50 caliber machine guns. He won
the Soldier's Medal. Such are the men your War Bonds fight beside.

Dr. Erb Memorial
Fund To Provide.
Student Awards
A fund to provide scholarships
in the name of Dr. Donald M. Er'o,
former University president, is be
ing raised by members of Oregon
Mothers and Oregon Dads organ
izations.
Ed F. Averill, scholarship com
mittee chairman, explained that
both single contributions and con
tributions given over a period of
five years will be accepted for the
fund. The five year plan will insure
the raising of a fund large enough
to furnish ample scholarships. A
number of members have sub
scribed to it already.
During his life Dr. Erb was
keenly interested in promoting
scholarship and often expressed
the wish for more University
granted student aid.
The actual number of languages,
computed by officers of the French
Academy, is put at 2,796.
Men Occupy
Sherry Ross,
Omega Halls
John Straub hall, a pre-war
dormitory for men, has returned
in part to its original status with
the Sherry Ross and Omega hall
units occupied by men students
who lived in the Kappa Sigma and
Sigma Nu houses during fall term.
Women residents of the two
units have moved into Mary Spiller
hall, vacated in December by ASTP
soldier-students. The change in
dormitory housing was necessary
because of the lower registration
of winter term students, according
to Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel administration.
The board and room charges will
, be the same, since that is , a set
University price. The girls living
in Mary Spiller will have their
meals at Hendricks hall and Miss
Mabel Potts, Hendricks housemo
ther, will be the head housemother
for Mary Spiller, although there
will probably be a graduate stu
dent living in the hall acting as
housemother.
Mr. Onthank stated that this
move will probably be perma
nent for this year since the
difference between winter and
spring term registration is never
great. The dean feels that next
year a- definite increase in male
students will occur and it may
again be possible to house only
men in John Straub hall.
Dean Onthank feels that the stu
dents will take cheerfully what
ever changes are made and real
ize that the best arrangements pos
sible will be made. The dean stated
that one of his greatest hopes is
that the girl's units will stay to
gether and keep their organization

SIDE PATTER
By Betty Hanks, Rosemary
Jones, and Virginia. Peterson
As we sit here at the SIDE
and hear all the latest, we real
ize that wedding bells have
taken their toll lately among
U. of O. students. Sally Fuller
ton, Theta, was married recent
ly in N. Y. to Johnny Murray.
Cute Pi Phi pledge Sue Codr
was married in Boise, Idaho, to
her first love. To complete a
coast-to-coast marriage epi
demic, last week saw the mar
riage of Ellie Jacobs, Kappa, in
San Francisco, Cal. The long
finger of matrimony tapped.
Steve Dipple not so long ago
when he married a girl from
Medford.
Mrs. Roberta Madden Roblin
is back now — she married Pi
Kap Tommy Roblin.
In spite of the fact that
spring is several months away,
the U. of O.'s thoughts are
turned already to you-know
what (we don't mean the cigar
ette shortage, either-). Recently
seen with her head in the clouds,
was Pi Phi pledge Helen Hicks.
It could have been the result of
Tommy Dunham being home on
leave. How did she get on the
honor roll with someone like
him to dream about? Why is it
that Terry Carroll and Bob
Hamilton can't make up their
minds as to their favorite sor
ority house? They’re certainly
giving them all a fair trial.
Eileen Casey is showing off a
ring given to her by Gordon
Janney. Seen sipping cokes to

were Ruth Chappell, Theta, and I

receive congratulations on a
coming new addition. Engage
ment was announced recently of
Pat McClintock, Pi Phi, and
Babe Wimberly. Bob Caviness,
Fiji, planted his pin not so long
ago on Betty Davis, A. D. Pi.
Ed Allen, A. T. O., planted his
pin on Mary Margaret Ells
worth, D. G. Sometime around
the 16th of January, Bass Dyer,
Phi Delt, and Marion Harris, Pi
Phi, will be married in Seattle.
Bass was just commissioned an
Ensign in the Naval Air Forces.
Mary Jane Simmons and Miriam
Becke, Pi Phis, recently had a
wreck on 13th. Watch it girls!
Back on campus after dis
charges from the armed forces
are Dick Savinar, S. A. M., A1
Putnam. Chi Psi, and Jack
Ruble, Chi Psi; you'll be seeing
them, and all your other pals
at the SIDE. We’ll close for
now, and indulge in a nice big
hunk of chocolate cake a la
mode. 'Bye now!
