VOLUME XE\ II Number 12 UNVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGUENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1945 Famous Tenor Is To Appear_ On November 5 The world-renewed Swedish tenor, Juffi Bjoerling, will ap pear at McArthur court on No vember 5 at 8:15 p. in., on a triumphal return tour. He has been in Sweden since 1941 and this is his first tour since the war ended. A native of Sweden, Bjoerling made his debut in the' Royal Op era company in Stockholm with JPona Ottavio in Mozart's opera “Don Giovanni.” He was a leading tenor in the principal operas of Europe, 1931 to 1936. Appeared In Quartet Mr. Bjoerling made his first ap pearance in the United States a number of years ago when he ap peared in the Bjoerling male quar tet with his father and two broth ers. In 1937, the now-famous sing er retruned to this country where he was the leading Metropolitan tenor. He made several appearan ces in San Francisco and Chicago opera and also sang over the air. Mr. Bjoerling has starred in many recitals and concert tours. G. E. Gaylord, manager of the Eugene Civic Music association, promises an eevning of enjoyable singing from Mr. Bjoerling. Math Enrollment Heavy This Year Dr. A. F. Moursund, head of the department of mathematics, re ports that this year’s enrollment in the math department is the heaviest ever recorded at the Uni versity. More than 50 students are en rolled in math classes. The largest increases occurred in the elemen tary and intermediate algebra sections. Enrollment has also in creased in the upper division courses. Dr. Moursund believes that emphasis placed on science, and the use of mathematics in the field of social sciences, have caused this unusual growth in the math de partment. Two Vets Find Home Ease Ed Coles and Don Clarke, both returned veterans from the 41st division and majoring in business administration, had a tough time finding a place to stay. But now they have an ad vantage over other men on the campus; they have their own. private lounge, pool tables, ping pong tables, and even a place to take their dates. A long search for a place to stay ended at the YMCA. The room, however, was without a bed and other furnishings. After running down ads, calling at the dorm and going to an abandoned CCC camp, they finally found a bed and now they are happily situated. Yeoman Will Meet Monday The Oregon Yeomen will hold their first meeting of the year on Monday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the men’s lounge of Gerlinger according to an announcement made by President Jack Craig. All male students on the cam pus who are not connected with an organized living group are wel come to attend the meeting of the group and join the group if they desire. During the past years the men have taken an active part in cam pus activites and have been parti cularly recognized for their ser vice to the University, according to Craig. The organization has also been well-known for its out standing record in the campus intramural sports program as well as social activities. The first meeting will be high lighted by election of new officers for the academic year and an ex planation of the organization’s purposes. “As a sizeable number of male students are living in private homes this year, a record attend ance is expected for the initial meeting. Orders for pins will be taken and a schedule for Oregana pictures will be formulated. Town and Gown To Sponsor Open House at Dean s House An open house at 4 p.m. Sunday, October 7, will mark the beginning of a year’s activities sponsored by Town and Gown, a function of the YWCA. This opening social event will be held at the home of Dean and Mrs. Virgil Earl on 1035 Twenty-second avenue east. Elizabeth De Cou, chairman of Town and Gown announced today that this year’s schedule should prove extremely interesting as many new faculty members and towns people have offered to open their homes to the college students who are members of the YWCA.

Five Strutters I To Lead Band Onto Ball Field By JEANETTE GRANT Leading- the University band onto Hayward field Saturday will be Bob Wiseman, drum major, and four drum majoret tes, Donna Stageberg, Sylvia Mitchell and Ada and Eva Anderson. Ducks will see them in action at the half as well as hear the band play. John Stehn, director, has chosen his majorettes for sparkling person ality and excellent twirling skill, already displayed at practices. Donna Stageberg, Alpha Gamma Delta, was head majorette at Eu gene high last year, and has had many years as a top twirler. A girl whom many students have seen twirling at last year’s basketball games is Sylvia Mitchell, Highland house. She was head majorette at Molalla union high for three years. Ada and Eva Anderson, twins, from Eugene complete the quar tet. Both have had much experi ence twirling and have won many honors regionally and nationally. To Make Trip The band and the majorettes will go to Corvallis October 13 to boost the moral of the Oregon rooters and team. They will also travel to Portland for the Husky-Webfoot game. Vocal and instrumental soloists will be featured at the games, and special arrangements for these written by Mr. Stehn. Shirley Priestly will probably sing at the WSC game here. She was an as sembly entertainer last year. The band is larger than last year, and more students are join ing. This year’s marching season looks good and the band is shaping up well, according to Mr. Stehn. Student Loses $42 in Holdup For the second time this week, a holdup was staged along Elev enth avenue east. The latest vic tim, Wallace (Bud) Bradley, soph omore in liberal arts, was accosted Wednesday night at about ten o’clock by two men. The taller man, dressed in a dark blue suit, according to Bud, flourished a gun and said, “All right. This is a stickup.’’ The second ordered his accom plice to frisk him, and with that $2 was removed from his wallet. Bud was then ordered to “get moving.” The thieves were thought to be young, perhaps 25 years old, but their identity is unknown, said the victim.

Upperclassmen to Assist Honorary With Ushering Tackling the task of ushering and taking and selling tickets at the three home football games, and possibly the Portland game, will be members of Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women's service honorary, and 25 women assist ants from the junior and senior classes. Although navy-clad members of the honorary have ushered at basketball games in the past, this will be their first experience in handling crowds at Ha.ywanr field. Expressing his confidence in the ability of the women selected for the job, Anse Cornell, athletic manager, remarked: "This is the first home game we've had in three years, and we’re all new at it. The public should be patient, and take it slow. It's a grand idea for the girls to help, particularly since the money will go to a good cause.” Proceeds of the project will be used by Phi Theta for scholar ships. Open at Noon Ushers and ticket-takers will arrive at the stadium at 11:45 a.m., and gates will open at noon. To work with members of tb<* honorary, twenty-five women, two from most of the campus living organizations, have been selected. Several others are available to be called if their help is needed, according to Margery Skordal, Phi Theta president. Dressed in brown skirts and sweaters, the following women will assist the Phi Thetas with ushering and ticket taking: Eileen Fisher, Eula Ledbury, Wanda Lu Payne, Merle Sikes, Jean Krebs, Pat Percival, Mary Decker, Gloria Fick, Lola Mae Heagney, Sally Barr, Carolyn Jacobs, Charlotte Johnston, Nancy Sampson, Harriet Hawkins, Ann Jernstedt, Elaine Konesky, Pat Silver, Betty Carl son, Pat Griffith, Lois Evans, Joene Johnson, Selby Frame, Becky Jane Fish, Gloria Hawley, and June Johnson.
