Emerald Needs Reporters —See col. 1 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY. JAN. 11, 1945 Lecture Series Starts Tonight —See col. 3 NUMBER .V* VOLUME XLVI Coeds Bar Men, Polish Skirts for Friday Capers Lives and loves of Adam and Eve plus a professional football team plus a political campaign and a fashion show are some of the attractions the barkers for Coed Capers have been whisper ing .on campus street corners. This year’s Caper, annual Uni versity women’s frolic, promises to be the best entertainment of-the year, according to Phyllis Evans, chairman, and Mary Corrigan, ticket chairman, urges all women to buy their tickets im mediately. Friday night at 7 the doors of Gerlinger gymnasium will open and at 8 the curtain will rise with the spotlights playing on the “double or-nothing” mistresses of cere mony, Lois McConkey and Anita Fernandez. Voting for the “Oregon Dream Girl’’ will take place in the dance room between 7 and 8 p.m. Appropriately uniformed women amazons will guard the door to ex clude all male intruders. Men are traditionally barred from the Cap ers and the ruling will be rigidily enforced as usual, even to the bodily expulsion of any men who slip in. The Dream Girl will be an nounced at the end of the evening in a manner which is said to be original and mysteriously kept secret. First on the program is the jun ior skit in which Oregon’s third year women go all out to prove that there is something about a soldier, namely, a uniform. The freshmen promise a take-off on the SilRttra era in American history. The intermission during which re freshments will be sold will be fol lowed by the sophomore skit which will reveal some of the important factors in the age-old “woman chases man’’ problem. The activ ity women and the faculty women have shrouded their contributions to the evening in opaque veiling but assured inquirers that the skits will be “something worth buying those 35c tickets for.” Pot and Quill Qhooses Five Jean Lawrence, junior in journal ism, and Valerie Overland, fresh man in liberal arts, were judged late Wednesday evening, as fco winners in the annual University of Oregon Pot and Quill contest financed by the late Sally Allen, wife of the late Dean Eric Allen ol the school of journalism. “Guilty?” a short story by Jean Lawrence, and "All My Days,” a short story by Valerie Overland, won each of the girls $5 and a membership to the national wom an’s writing honorary.

A year later he was touring the continent, giving concerts in all the major cities of Europe. It was there that Leopold Stokowski heard Szi geti play, and invited him to the United States. In the fall of 1925 Szigeti made his American debut as soloist with the Philadelphia orchestra, directed by Stokowski. Since that time, he has been acclaimed a perrenial coast-to-coast favorite in the Unit ed States.

His rec ordings include his latest album, “Gypsy Melodies.” Notice to Art Students Gordon Bennett, president of the allied art league, has re quested all students who have not yet done so to pick up their work, submitted for the art ba zaar, at the art school co-op.
