A* Dahlberg’s lunch budget was thrown tem porarily out of gear Wednesday noon when he had to include the price of a pair of new trousers with his lunch check. While chatting amiably with a friend at lunch at the Eugene hotel, he scarcely noticed a man hurry by and throw something in his direction. As he felt his body temperature rise rapidly in one concentrated region he leaned over to investigate. There in the crease of his trouser leg nestled a smoldering match which had greedily eaten a hole about the size of a quarter. The rest of the afternoon mut terings about careless peope and matches could bo heard drifting steadily through the keyhole of Professor Dahlberg’s office. TICKET SALE WED SET Tickets for the Junior Prom will be on sale at the Co-op for the remainder of this week Marty Pond, ticket chairman, announced yesterday. Price will be $2.70 per couple. Les Brown’s band will be featured at the event. Physical Education Convention Draws Faculty to Seattle Parley Substitute physical education teachers breathed more easily this week following the return of the regular faculty from the National Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation con vention held in Seattle April 21-27. Sponsored this year by the north west district with the cooperation of the southwest district, the con vention was the first national con vention of this organization ever held on the West Coast. Discussions, exhibits, work shops, and demonstrations all cen tered around the 1947 theme “Problems and Plans." Recom mendations for a plan of action to be taken in the fields of health, physical education, and recreation were discussed. Miss Rosamund Wentworth, assistant professor of physical ed ucation, was presiding chairman of the national dance section. This section included all types of folk, social, and modern dance. One out standing group of dancers featured at the convention will be presented in Eugene sometime in May. Plans for this concert are being formu lated by the women's physical education club. Participating in convention dis cussions from the University were Dean Ralph W. Leighton, Ray mond Kirelis, H. S. Hayman, Paul Washke, and Miss Margaret Brew ster, all members of the school of physical education faculty. Phyllis Wells and Wanda Lou Payne acted as discussion leaders in the con vention’s student section. Business activities were aban doned for 24 hours in the middle of the week so that delegates could take a sight-seeing tour in and around Seattle. Some of the Ore gon delegates went up as far as Victoria, Canada. To complete the day of pleasure, a Smorgasbord dinner followed by dancing and en tertainment was held at Seattle's Olympic hotel. One highlight of the week was an all-convention physical educa tion pageant sponsored by the Seattle public shools and the Uni versity of Washington, but from all reports leaking from Gerlinger and the P. E. building, everything and the hospitality in Seattle was of superior quality. Only 5 of the original cherubims in the New York cast of “The Green Pastures” remained small enough to last the first five years of pro duction. __l • •/ \bted the most wanted pen for graduation ✓ Parker "51" Pens are available in the following colors: Black, Blue Cedar, Dove Crav, Cordovan Brown. $12.50; $15.00.
