Prominent science-fiction writers
as well as publishers and scientists

“Active participants, kibitzers

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.
