cision to remove the University
of Oregon from “Who’s Who in

north Pacific storm today apparent
ly claimed the lives of seven per
sons and sank three tugs. Other
vessels were reported in trouble.
Three men were lost when a tug
piled up on the rocks near Port San
Juan, B. C., west of Vancouver Is
land. Five Sthers of the crew made
it to shore in a lifeboat.
Two men were missing from an
other tug which sank in Puget
Sound. An unidentified woman
drowned when she was lost over
board from the ferry, Princess Vic
toria en route from Vancouver to
Victoria.
The seventh victim Was a seaman
who died of a heart attack as coast
guardsmen carried out with rubber
boats the hazardous rescue of the
11-man crew of a tug sinking off
the mouth of the Columbia river.
A freighter which broke its tow
at. the safne spot was adrift in the
stormy seas with about 16 men
aboard. There was danger it would
go aground unless a coast guard
cutter can reach it in time to put a
line aboard.

and was forced to head for shelter,
leaving the dangerous Cape Flat
tery area without a navigation aid.

Amphibian Pageant
' . .
THOSE WHO ATTEND the first
performance of the Amphibian pag
eant tonight will ije taken from
the present to the realms of the
early Greeks where they will visit
“Olympia,” “Hades,” and “The
Kingdom Under the Sea.”
“Greek Fantasy,” will be pre
sented in a three-ac't program both
tonight and tomorrow night at
8 p.m. in the men’s pool, Thirteenth
and University. Tickets are selling
at the Co-op for 50 cents.
The swimming show, an annual
affair since 1943, was first held
in the millrace, and then in the
women’s pool. Two years ago, be
cause of the crowds, the scene
changed to the men’s pool, and
this year, for the first time, two
performances will be presented.
In 1947 the girls depicted an
“Evening in Paris” with the pool
decorated as a Paris night club,
and last year, "Story Book Won
derland” was presented with
scenes from “Candyland,” “Moon
land,” and “Bubbleland.”
Such themes as “Under the Big
Drip,” “A Sailor’s Dream” (with
a tropical island, a waterfall, and
mermaids as the principal set
tings), “The Story of a Life Guard
ess,” and “Aqua Waves" (depicting
incidents in the training of a
WAVE) have been presented since
’43.
This year the money from the
tickets will go towards new set
tings, costumes, lights, and swim
ming suits for future productions
of the-organization.

Chapman at 7:00 and again at 8:45
tonight. Five other shorts will be
shown and include “In and Around
Capetown” and “Rescue From
Shangri-la.”
Smiths Dominate NewPigger's Guide
Oh, to have a name like Smith
has been the wish of nearly every
one sometime or other in his life,
but according to the editors of the
1948-49 Pigger’s Guide there are
already too many Smiths in the
world, or at least at the Univer
sity.
Here is the plight of Editors
Dorothy Orr and Lois Beamguard:
There are 73 persons now regis
tered whose last name is Smith of
which, to add to the confusion,
there is a Donald K., a Donald L.,
and a Donald W.; a Gerald and a
Gerald J.; and a Gordon J. and a
Gordon W.
The “Smithery” goes on with
Harold G. and Harold P., Howard
N. and Howard W., Jack L. and
Jack M., and Norma J. and Norma
R.
The first names Robert and Rich
ard led the group with four apiece,
but top oddity honors went to the
Richards when two men entered
their names as Richard F. Smith.
Running a good second, but not
crowding the leader, are the John
sons, spelled with the s-o-n. They
amassed a total of 52 while the
Browns annexed third place with
36.
Leaving the realm of the similar
names, here are some individual
names which brought a good laugh.
There is registered at the regis
trar’s office a Case Beer and a
Sour Beer whose first names are
Wallace and Claude respectively.
Also listed with the registrar is a
Daphne Paradise.
However, these peculiarities
seemed to have been overlooked by
the Pigger’s Guide staff for they
were not listed.
Incidentally, the Piggy’s Guide
is being distributeed today in the
south corridor of McArthur court.
Kwama and Phi Theta Upsilon,
sophomore and junior women’s
honoraries will be in charge.
A limited number are available
at the Co-op for persons who didn't
sign up for the directory during
fall registration.
Gamma Alpha
Apples on Sale
Carrying baskets heaped with
shining red apples, Gamma Alpha
Chi pledges will further the na
tional professional women's ad
vertising fraternity’s annual apple
sale today and tomorrow.
In addition to these co-ed street
vendors, the society has set up
booths in the Co-op, library,
Friendly and Commerce halls, and
the Side. Men’s houses will be con
tacted during the lunch hour, and
house frosh class presidents will
lead sales in their own organiza
tions.
“This year we have genuine
Hood River apples,” Leslie Tooze,
chaiman, announced yesterday.
“The tasting committee has pro
nounced them big, juicy, luscious,
and sweet—better than ever be
fore.”
Gamma Alpha Chi has made this
apple sale an annual event each fall
term.

Extension Nets
Vets Day's Pay
Tlie board of deans decided
last week to officially extend the
final examination period mitit
Saturday, December 18, in an
effort to secure for student vet
erans their complete ('.I checks
for December.
This change in the fall term
schedule has been submitted to the
Veterans Administration in Port-,
land by H. A. Bork, comptroller of
the Oregoii state system of higher
education. No word has been re
ceived indicating that the VA ha3
accepted or rejected this extension.
' Under VA rulings, a veteran at
tending school will lose one day
subsistence pay for each day he is
on vacation over a maximum 15
days. The original fall term sched
ule provided for a 16-day vacation.
Thus, vets would lose one day’s pay.
Some veterans, who are low on
eligibility, have cancelled their sub
sistence checks for the original va
cation period and will apply this
time to winter term. These stud
ents will not be affected by the ac
ceptance or rejection by the VA of
the board of dean decision, accord
ing to J. D. Kline, assistant regis
trar.
The deans decided that, since
some examinations were scheduled
for Saturday, the final-week sched
ule as printed, in the catalogue and
the class schedule did not reflect
the true situation.
On December 18, examinations
will be given in ail courses not cov
ered by the Monday-to-Friday sch
edule and in courses in which there
are conflicts. These will include two
courses in the education school,
Problems in Secondary Education
and Seminar in Audio-Visual, and
a few courses in other schools.
The problem of the 16-day vaca
tion was first called to the Univer
sity’s attention by the VA. At that
lime they suggested that some
change in the schedule be made in
order to give the veterans their
complete checks.
The board of deans also discussed
the extension of next fall term but
dates for that term are now tenta
tive.
Organizations
Meet Faculty
The AWS Faculty fireside will
be held this Sunday from 6:30 to
7:30 with groups of faculty mem
bers at each women's living or
ganization. The main feature of
this year’s fireside is that faculty
members will meet not only wom
en of one living organization but
others who may visit during this
hour.
In this way students may talk
with present or potential instruc
tors without the heavy academic
atmosphere of the classroom. Fac
ulty members will have a better
chance to become acquainted witk
their students.
