Fiction Writers Name Portland Site of Conclave Portland' is to be the scene of the world-wide fiction convention next year, Rosco Wright, president of the Eugene Science-Fantasy Soci ®ty has announced. Prominent science-fiction writers as well as publishers and scientists aFe expected at the convention, Wright told the Sunday meeting of the Society. Socety members plan a project of science-fiction movies for the year. Work on paintings and drawings are also on the agenda for display and auction at the Portland conven tion. The Eugene Science-Fantasy So ciety meets twice a month at 7:30 p. m., the second Wednesday of the month, and at 2 p. m. the last Sun day of the month. “Active participants, kibitzers and artists with the yen to make a little money are welcome,” Wright said. Interested people are asked tc call at 146 East 12th, or telephone 5-5774 Wednesday or Friday after noons and evenings. City Police Say No Rally Gripes A check with the Eugene police department last night revealed that no complaints were turned in against student rooters at Friday night’s rally-street dance. ‘‘Student cooperation was won derful,” Bill Lance, rally board member, commented. “With a rec ord like this, perhaps it will be easier to schedule more such cele brations in the future.” Street dances have been prohib ited in Eugene for a number of years because of complaints turned in by residents when students dam aged private property. Fire Sale Ruined; Thetas No Got Fire Lots of smoke but no fire. That was the situation at Kappa Alpha Theta sorority yesterday at about 6:30 p.m. Three fire trucks were sent out to what firemen labeled a “smoke scare,” when the Theta basement filled with unexplained smoke shortly after dinner. Two trucks returned to the fire department almost immediately, with the crew of the third checking the basement carefully. No apparent cause for the smoke could be found, accord ing to Captain Elmer L. Smith. An impromptu lawn party was organized during the excitement, which brought out a good deal of the surrounding neighborhood to watch. “We were all set to have a fire sale, but nothing burned,” mourned Sally Waller, house president. Oregon Graduates To Show Paintings A joint exhibition of paintings by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fuller will be first of a series to be shown in the art school gallery this fall, it was announced today. The paintings are the terminal projects which the Fullers comple ted for their master of fine arts in painting. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller are gradu ates of Syracuse University. They entered the University of Oregon as graduate students in 1947, and completed work for the master's degree last spring. Mr. Fuller is now teaching art at the Randolph-Macon Women’s col lege in Lynchburg, Virginia. It's a shaky reputation that is built on things you are going to do. Community Chest Workers Meet Campus Community Chest work ers will meet today at 4 p. m. in the Guild theatre in Johnson hall to complete campaign plans, accord ing to Paul Washke, chairman of the campus drive. ki - The campus drive this year will be short and intensive due to the fact that it is beginning later than the downtown appeal. All faculty and staff members will be contact ed, Washke said, but interested stu dents are also included. The 1949 quota will be approximately the same as last year’s, $4,000. The Community Chest helps in support of the campus YWCA, YH CA and some religious activities. Student Attairs Asks tor hrosh earcfs New students who neglected to fill out personnel folders for the Office of Student Affairs are re quested to check with that office, 201 Emerald Hall, today or Wed nesday. While registering at McArthur Court, new students were supposed to fill out personnel forms and be photographed. Because ot the con gestion at the court, many failed to complete this step in registra tion. Mrs. Velma Mullaley, secretary of student affairs and housing, pointed out that this matter should be taken care of immediately so that each new student’s file may be complete. 1 ROY COPPING’S STOP OCTOBER SALE 11th & OAK—CAMPUSLY CONVENIENT FREE OIL - -1 QUART THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER ONE QUART OF CHAMPION EASTERN OIL WITH EACH PURCHASE OF 10 GALLONS OF GASOLINE.
