Frosh Scheduled to Paint 'O'; Damaged Corner Must Wait By Marjory Bush The “O” on Skinner’s Butte will be restored to its rightful yellow hue for Homecoming, but it may have to remain with a chipped lower right-hand corner for a long er time. That seems to be the consensus of opinion of Student Body Presi dent Art Johnson and Homecoming Chairman Willie Dodds. “There are no definite plans yet,’’ Johnson said Wednesday, “but as soon as the financial prob lem is settled, action to repair the “O” will be taken.” Dynamited Sunday at 5 a.m., the "O” suffered only a nicked corner and several cracks. Its rock foun dation and thick concrete, which has withstood the attacks of wea th^r and worse enemies since 1908, proved too strong for the invaders, presumed to be Oregon State Col lege students. As it now is, the Homecoming tradition of freshmen serving as human paint brushes for the 50 foot block letter should not be hampered, Dodds stated. Virgil S. Fogdall, -director of men’s affairs, reported that Dan Poling, dean of men at Oregon State, was ready to take appropri ate disciplinary measures if nec essary. “I hope that Oregon students re alize that somebody lost their head and went completely out-of-line in trying to show school spirit,” Fog dall stated. He added that he was pleased with the Oregon students reaction to the damaging of the “O.” Civic Music Concert Brings Welsh Baritone To Mac Court Stage Thomas L. Thomas Flashcards Sure For Big Game Flashcard stunts for the Home coming game Nov. 19 are a cer tainty, chairman Jerry Kinersly stated Wednesday. Although the receipts from last week’s Paramount Theater rally must go to Seattle for auditing before an estimate of Oregon's cut can be made, enough money will be available to buy a number of cards. These will be added to the group of old cards found on the campus from previous stunts. A section of 475 white-shirted. rooters’.-lidded men will perform the stunts at halftime of the Ore gon-Oregon State game. Participation will be on a volun teer basis, with all campus living organizations to be contacted for recruits. The excellent seating, a section just south of the Oregon band to be reserved until l.:30 p.m., is expected to draw many volun teers. Four stunts will be presented, Kinersly stated. Individual direc tion cards will be given to each participant. No practice will be required. Flashboard manipulators will be given special seating tickets to admit them to the section. Doting Boom Seen; 'Guides' on Presses rigger’s Guides, student direc tories, are now being printed. Tentative plans call for distri bution Nov. Ifi, Dorothy Orr, edi tor, announced.

Accompanied at the piano by Jacob Hannemann, he will sing a program of five parts, including one section de voted entirely to songs of his native Wales. Hannemann will perform indi vidually at the piano during the first half of the program. Baritone Thomas is well known to the American radio audience as singing star of such programs as “Manhattan Merry-go-Round,” the Firestone Program. "The Family Hour,” the “Chicago Theater of the Air,” and “Carnegie Hall.” He has also gained eminence as a guest artist appearing with some of the nation's leading orchestras, including the Indianapolis, N.B.C., and Detroit Symphonies, and the New York Philharmonic. Thomas, the son of a coal-miner, was born in Maesteg, Wales. When he was eleven, his family moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Few Vets Return Unused Books A small number of veterans re turned books and supplies to the Co-op Wednesday under the new Veterans Administration ruling, G. L. Henson, Co-op manager, re ported Wednesday afternoon. The ruling requires all veterans who have either dropped courses or withdrawn from school this term to return to the Co-op all books and supplies secured for courses they will not complete. “There have been a few com plaints from veterans on the rul ing,’’ Henson said. The Veterans Administration and the University would like to have supplies re turned as soon as possible. Reports from the registrar’s of fice indicate that the list of veter ans affected by the ruling this term will be quite extensive. It will probably not be completed until the end of the week. Books returned to the Co-op will be placed in a separate section re served for government property and will be reissued only to veter ans.
