Latest Excuse Given For Absence of Story Past masters in the art of mak ing excuses are college students. M it isn’t one excuse, it's another. A sincere attempt to instruct stu dents in the gentle ( ?) art of re writing news events via the tele phone have resulted in the most outlandish problems and excuses in the 9 o’clock elementary journal ism class. Half of the class was loaded with information and the other half of the class was assigned to call them to take down notes and rewrite the story. What would be the best time to call ? It was vir tually impossible to agree on a ^ime suitable to all the members of the class. “How about 8 o’clock?” the pro fessor asked hopefully. “Gotta study then,” the students insisted. “Well, then, 6 o’clock?” Get Your Shoes Repaired for PICNICS, HIKES and FUN! CAMPUS SHOE SHOP McDonald "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier" — and — The Fighting Lady" HEILIG "HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN" with BORIS KARLOFF and LON CHANEY “But we eat at 6,” several las sies wailed. The professor thought for a mo ment, then suggested, “You aren't supposed to be eating or studying at 11.” “Oh, but that’s when we sleep.’’ Finally, perspiring slightly, the professor managed to persuade them to call at 10:25. The next morning he found a note in one of his boxes. It was the epitome of all excuses: “At 10:25 I called.and the line was busy. I keep call every five minets until about 10:50 when one of the fellows took the phone until 11:05 or 11:10 when I called .f. again and this timed they answered and said she had gone to bed and they would not call her." What next? Alumni Elect New Association Heads Charles H. Huggins of Salem is the new president of the Univer sity of Oregon Alumni association and Mrs. David M. Graham of Eu gene is the vice-president, it was announced Monday at the alumni office. Mr. Huggins, who succeeds Lynn A.

I knew you’d weaken sooner or later.” First student: Let's cut class and take in a movie. Second stu dent: Can’t, old man, I need the sleep. CLASSIFIED ADS • Lost FRIDAY, green Eversharp pen.

Year’s Dates Set, But Not With Men * Perhaps the matter of next year's academic calendar is far re moved from the student’s mind, but administrative circles in John son hall have had to look ahead, and the calendar for 1945-46 has been approved by the chancellor's executive council. Freshman week and registration is scheduled for September 17-22, with classes starting September 24. November 22-25 will be allowed for Thanksgiving, and final exams will end December 18. With winter term registration scheduled for January 2, the last examinatoin will be March 22. Spring term will open on April 1, and exams will last until June 14. Commencement is set for June 16. Seniors Must File Credentials for Jobs All seniors, whether or not they are looking for immediate jobs, should have their credentials filed soon at the employment bureau, Karl W. Onthank, dean of person nel, has announced. Forms must be sent to former instructors and em ployers to give the student refer ences which are the basis of con fidential reports to prospective em ployers. Dean Onthank stressed the im portance of filing credentials while the student is in school, as later on faculty members may be absent. With a complete record on file, the graduate may write the University for necessary and valuable refer ences. References of students who plan to teach are handled through a placement bureau at the school of education. Janet Moore Added To English Staff Miss Janet Moore was added to the staff of the University depart ment of English last week as a graduate assistant. She will teach one section of composition and read papers for other teachers while taking several graduate courses.
