Vaudeville Plans Begin Buzzing
Enthusiasm is developing in campus living organizations as they
form plans for their acts in Oregon’s All-Campus Vaudeville show,
April 15, with a meeting of house representatives scheduled for to
night, 6:30 at the Alpha Delta Pi house.
At this meeting Valma Sneilstrom, program chairman, will explain
the requirements for judging and other details.
Letters were sent to all house presidents Saturday explaining the
show, which will serve the dual purpose of entertainment and oppor
tunity to reveal hidden talent, and a contribution to a worthwhile cause,
since all proceeds from the 50 cent ticket sales have been scheduled
for the World Student Service Fund.
A reprint of the letter follows:
“Dear House President,
“Preparation for Oregon’s all-campus vaudeville show are gathering
momentum. This is your show and each organization will enter an act
in competition for the three permanent trophies offered for first, second,
and third prize.
“Entries may consist of skits, dances, magic acts, singing, slapstick
routines, and so forth. . . . There will be preliminary eliminations, with
the final judging in McArthur court Friday, April 15, the date of the
show.
j “Tickets will be sold not only on the campus, but in downtown
Eugene, and from door to door throughout the residential districts. The
funds will go to the campus-supported charity, the World Student Ser
vice Fund.

With the ROTC Military
Ball only three days away, the
third and final regiment of Lit
tle Captains, Gay Williams,
Beverly Zamsky and Pat Hus
band, is in review. The Little
Colonel, chosen from nine can
didates, will be announced at the
dance Saturday night.
"I try to live up to my name,”
says Little Captain Gay Williams,
who is better known as Shirley to
her professors. Judging from the
activities of this five foot two and
one-half inch junior with dark
brown eyes and auburn hair, one
might say she succeeds.
People, horseback-riding, and
swimming are her chief interests.
A native of Olympia, Washington,
she says the salt water of Puget
Sound beats everything for swim
ming—“It’s the water!” For the
past four summers Gay has done
clerical work at the state house in
Olympia.

As house manager of Delta Gam
ma, it's Gay’s duty to see that ev
erything is running smoothly. She
is also known as the girl who sends
the gentlemen home at 10:30. “I’m
famous for that,” she smiled.
With plans for teaching vocal and
instrumental music in secondary
school, Gay is now majoring in mu
sic. She is corresponding secretary
of Mu Phi Epsilon, national music
honorary. This year she was
awarded the annual scholarship
from the organization's alumnae.
Even with the threat of finals
drawing closer, Gay is not worried.
Final week is the best time, she be
lieves. “You’re completely on your
cwn, and just one big party follows
another after each test is over!’’
Bev Zamsky Petite
“She’s a tiny little thing, five feet
two inches tall with black hair and

Kline Sees
Long Lines
Next Term
Only 2150 students have com
pleted registration as yet, J. D.
Kline, assistant registrar stated
yesterday.
Unless substantial numbers com
plete registration this week over
3000 students will have to register
March 28, registration day of next
term, he said.
This week is the last of pre-reg
istration, which ends at noon Sat
urday. Although most of the stu
dent body picked up their registra
tion material and filled out their
class cards, most of them have not
checked with the housing secretary,
paid their fees and turned in their
material.
First Comers Kate
In case of any classes being too
full students who have officially
been registered will have prefer
ence. Also, if there arc large num
bers of students registering at the
first of next term, many will be
forced to register late, and late reg
istration fees will not be waived.
Comparing the 2150 who have
signed up this term to the 4007
who finished their registration
early last term, Kline warned that
there will be some long lines on
March 2S.
Two-Thirds Veterans
Over two-thirds of those signed
up this term are veterans. All stu
dents who have completed the ini
tial steps are urged to complete
their registration as soon as possi
ble.
Although the final steps may be
finished this week, the various
schools and departments are not
signing students up for classes now.
This was to have been completed
last week, and any further regis
tration for classes will have to be
done at the beginning of next
term.
