Meet Betty and Joe . . .
Webfoot Hoofers Frolic
. Elect Kiste and Wilkins
Oregon Ducks enjoyed their second all-campus dance at the
Sophomore Whiskerino Saturday night. Three hundred couples
dance the evening away in “barber shoppe” decorated Mc
Arthur court to popular strains by Van Armitage and his 12
piece orchestra. At the entrance of the Igloo the Betty and Joe
finalist secret was disclosed as
couples were greeted by the eight
ballot boxes labeled with these
names: for Joe College, Dick Sa
vinar, Dick Wilkins and Bill Wil
liams; for Betty Coed, Phyllis
Kiste, Nancy Rivenburgh, Nancy
Bostwick and Jean Glaves.
f During the dance whiskered
sophomores were tapped and at
the intermission this select group
appeared on the stage: Paul
Smith, Bob Huffman, Bev Bryant,
Dick Savinar, Bob Kraus and John
Lehman. The bearded six were
narrowed down to two, Dick Savi
-#ar and Bob Huffman, by the ap
plause of the spectators. The
judges, George Hall, assistant dean
of men, Mr. Elliott (the barber)
and Norma Figone, went into their
huddle and finally arrived at their
decision which was difficult to
make since both contestants were
equally in need of a shave. The
winner turned out to be Bob Huf
fman, who beamed with satisfac
tion behind his black disguise as
he sat down to take his well-earned
reward, a free shave from Barber
Elliott, assisted by Norma Figone,
contest chairman, who added that
“woman’s touch.”
After the shaving, Emcee Bob I
Moran announced to the anxious j

Victory Drive Begins;
Bond Per Duck Goal
University Opens 8th Loan Today;
Individual Purchases Emphasized
Lecture Series Starts
With the purchase of one $25
victory bond by every University
student as its goal, the 8th Victory
Loan drive opens on the campus
today. In cooperation with Lane
county bond officials, this year’s
drive will stress individual bond
purchases—preferably to come
from the student’s own savings,
rather than from funds solicited
from parents and friends in other
counties. Since only individual pur
chases are stressed, no all-campus
goal will be set.
Nineteen candidates, each spon
sored by her living organization,
have entered the campus victory
queen race. Pictures of the con
testants are on display at the Co
op. Candidates named yesterday
include:
Jean Grashorn, Alpha Chi Ome

Atom Bomb Control Advocated
Oregon Physicists Adopt Resolution
Recommending World.Police Authority
By Anna Jean Winters
Delegates to a conference of the Oregon section of the
American Association of Physics Teachers held November 10
at Williamette university in Salem voiced approval of atomic
bomb control by an international organization. Following the
discussion of the social and economic effects of the bomb. 35
physicists who attended the con
ference voted to take action on the
problem, according to Dr. E. Ho
bart Collins, professor of physics
at the University and secretary of
the association.
Scientists from three different
laboratories who worked on the
atomic bomb project submitted
-^statements which were read and
final approval was given two para
graphs from a statement from the
Santa Fe' project, as formulated
by Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Proposal Cited
The gr oup voted that the action
recomended by Dr. Oppenheimer
be the minimum action to be tak
en by the United States govern
ment. The material approved is as
follows:
“It is unrealistic to hope that
nations will renounce the use of
the atomic bomb in war if these
bombs are available. No limitations
of armaments have ever been suc
cessfully carried through on wea
pons which were considered highly
effective. The only weapon which
has been actually renounced is
poinson gas, but this is due to its
comparative ineffectiveness.
Disarmament
“Limitation of fleets, attempted
between the wars, was largely fu
tile; there also existed an agree
ment to refrain from- the bombing
civilians, but this 'agreement,
was broken at the very outset of
;the war and subsequently this kind
of warfare was most ‘ extensively
used by all.

Lemon-0 Robbery
Attempt Flounders
Robbery was attempted at the
Lemon-O Sunday morning between
1:30 and 5:30 a.m., O. L. (Doc)
Ireland, proprietor, said Monday.
The robber, according to Ireland,
jimmied a window and rammed the
door so that the glass was broken,
but did not get into the store
itself.
J. H. Wood, wno lives next door
to the campus fountain shop, dis
covered the evidence of the
attempt at 5:30 a.m. and reported
it to Ireland. The police were
called, but there were no leads as
to the identity of the thief.Because
of the number of robberies in
Eugene lately, the police feel cer
tain that the same man is respons
ible, Ireland quoted the Eugene
police as saying. They are confi
dent that his bold breaks will be
apprehended soon.
The window that was jimmied
was one that is no longer used and
has a wall built in front of it, so
that it was useless as an en
trance. Learning this, it is thought
that the door was then rammed
with a large block of wood until
the -loGk was hent -and the glass
broken. “Doc” believes the noise
made by the falling glass fright
ened the thief away.
“This is the first time a robbery
of any- type has even been attemp
ted at the Lemon-O,” Ireland said.
Onthank Unworried
Over Job Problem
“I have returned with the im
pression that, although jobs aren’t
going to be too plentiful after a
bit, with properly organized em
ployment services we should have
no trouble placing graduates who
are sufficiently trained,” said
Karl W. Onthank, dean of person
nel administration, when he re
turned Sunday from the North
west Personnel Management asso
ciation meeting in Spokane, and
the annual gathering of the West
ern Personnel Service in Pasadena.
Dean Onthank is the chairman
of the Academic Council of the
Western Personnel Service and,
therefore, acted as chairman of
most of the meetings in Pasadena.
After attending the meetings
Dean Onthank visited the univer
sities in the Los Angeles area,
Stanford and the University of
California inquiring about their
personnel work, veteran and hous
ing problems with special empha
sis on the placement of graduate
students, especially veterans.
Concerning the housing problem,
Dean Onthank stated that he
found it much the same at all the
universities which he visited. He
added that wherever students go
they’ll find it difficult to find
housing because it is a national
problem.

Eyewitness to Relate
Jap Surrender Tale
Oregon Publisher Aboard USS Missouri
Scheduled to Speak on Pacific War Zone
Philip L. Jackson, Portland, was
a captain of artillery in the first
World War. In World War II, as
editor-publisher of the Oregon
Journal, Portlangl, he sat in at the
surrender of the Japanese oh the
USS Missouri. Tonight at 7:30 in
105 Journalism, Jackson will tell
assembled journalism students the
story of the surrender and relate
his observations and impressions
of the Pacific war zone.
Jackson expected to be away
only two or three weeks when he
left Portland as the guest of the
war and navy departments to
write the progress of the struggle
in the Pacific. Actually he was
there more than two months. The
sudden collapse of the Japanese
under the pressure of American
armed - might came while he was
in the Orient.
Scenes of Tokyo
- One of- th.e pictures tpken . in
Tokyo harbor at the time of' the
surrender shows Mr. Jackson in
a -group -of war correspondents,
there for the final dramatic, scene:
.Among them was Dick - J-ohnstort
of the United Press, a former
student in the school of journal
ism. Outside the picture but in the
general neighborhood was Don
Caswell, Oregon journalism grad
uate, who covered much of Mae
Arthur’s movement in the earlier
days of the war and who has since
been shifted to Australia.
First of Series
Faculty members at the school
of journalism are happy over Mv.
Jackson’s acceptance of the invi
tation to address the journalism
assembly, the first of a series to
be staged during the academic
year. On his way to Eugene the
speaker will stop at Salem and ad
dress a joint meeting of the Ro
tary and Kiwanis clubs. Since his
return from the orient Mr. Jackson
'has been much in demand to ad
dress public and semi-public
groups, by which he has been
warmly received. He tells, his au
diences say,, a. plain, straightfor
ward, factual story, full of human
interest and'dctail In which every
one ifc interested.' -
While the assembly is primarily
•for journalists, others interested
