ID Card Out;
Athletic Tix
Ready Soon
There will be no flasher-type
student body cards issued until
next fall.
Those are the official words of
Barry Mountain, ASUO president,
and Virginia Wright, executive
council member in charge of the
proposed cards. Lack of time and
funds were the reasons given for
the decision.
Athletic Business Manager How
ard Lemons told the Emerald that
the athletic department would be
gin printing athletic cards at once.
“They should be ready by next
Monday or Tuesday, in" time for
the first home basketball game
this term,” he said.
The cancelled cards were to be
used as combination student body
and athletic cards. A legal diffi
culty concerning the manner in

Oregon a Warns of
Misspelled Names
Is your name misspelled in,
or omitted from the Piggers’
Guide?
Chances are it'll be misspell
ed in the Oregana too unless you
take action this week, Editor
Ruth Landry reported Tuesday.
“Oregana lists are corrected
according to spellings given in
the Piggers’ Guide,’’ Miss Lan
dry explained. “If a student’s
name is misspelled the same
error may appear in the year
book; if it is omitted we have
no guide to go on.”
Such errors may be nipped in
the bud by calling the Oregana
office, ext. 239, this week and
advising the staff of the correct
spelling, the editor explained.
Coke Date Or Not?
Individual Houses
To Decide Problem
Individual women’s houses will now determine whether to
have coke date hours. Heads of Houses voted out its blanket"
rule covering all women’s groups Monday, Jackie Pritzen told*
the Student Affairs committee Tuesday afternoon.
Miss Pritzen is president of Heads of Houses, which includes
presidents of all women’s living groups, and she is also a mem*
ber of the Student Affairs committee.
Mie told the committee that
Heads of Houses simply remov
ed its regulation which set the
“coke date’’ hour from 10 to
10:30 p.m. Sunday through
1 hursday. This rule had ap
plied only to sophomore wo
men, because upperclass wo
men are allowed out every
night, and freshmen have a sep
arate set of rules.
Women of any class who do not
make their grades also observe dif
ferent regulations. This new "coke
date’ 'policy does not affect them.
Two other regulations concern
ing- social life at the University
were discussed at the monthly
Student Affairs meeting which
lasted two hours.
The regulation which now allows
men to come into women's living,
organizations between 1.0 and
10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thurs
day was discussed.
No motion was made and none
is pending on this question. The
regulation will continue as it now
stands.
The other issue was whether to
continue desserts next fall. A mo
tion to eliminate all Wednesday
desserts had been made at a pre
vious meeting.
This motion was not voted up

KWAX Obtains
47-foot Cable
Forty-seven feet of co-axial
cable for the operation of the new
University FM station. KWAX,
arrived from Quincy, 111. Monday
at the studio, announced D. Glenn
Starlin, radio instructor.
More equipment is on the way,
including x transmitter, which will
be needed before actual broad
casting begins.
‘‘There was some doubt as to
whether or not the order would be
filled because of scarcity of ma
terials; but since copper is one of
the most vital of these, we think
it is a good sign that the rest of
the equipment is being sent,” said
Starlin.
‘‘All that stands in the way now
as far as we can guess is delay
through the mail caused by the
holiday rush and eastern railroad
strikes,” he added.
The items were expected in time
for broadcasting at the start of
winter term, but will have to be
postponed until approximately two
weeks following delivery.
'Dimes' Petitions Due
Petitions for chairman of the
March of Dimes drive are being
called for. They should be turn
ed in to the ASUO office by
noon Friday.

Thebom Found Versatile in Talents;
Lists Cooking, A/lus/c as Favorites
When Blanche Thebom, Metro
politan Opera mezzo-soprano, ap
pears at 8 p.m. Thursday at Mc
Arthur Court, she will be on her
ninth consecutive concert tour
since she started studying music
ten years ago.
Before that, she had planned
college and a teaching career, but
went to business college instead
and then on to work as a secre
tary. She claims that this work
helped her music immensely be
cause of the organization and self
discipline she learned. “A success
ful career is a life-sentence to hard
labor,” Miss Thebom knows.
The hard-working opera singer
found that by magnifying her good
vocal qualities instead of concen
trating on flaws, her singing im
proved immensely.
The Swedish songstress’ concert
Thursday night will feature works
by Handel, Schumann, Verdi,
Rachmaninoff, and modern com
poser, Celius Dougherty.
Coming from a land famed as
the birthplace of another singer,
Jenny Lind, Miss Thebom can al
so demonstrate her skill at a stove
with such special Swedish recipes
as meatballs and fish dishes. The
talented singer reads German,
French, Italian, Russian, Swedish
and English.
Some of the recordings made by
the Met star are Brahms’ "Cradle
Song," Reger's "Virgin's Slumber
Song,” Handel's “Siciliana,” an al
bum of old-time religious songs,
German lieders, Bach's "Magnifi
cat,” and others.
The tall five-foot seven inch
soprano has also appeared twice on
the Telephone and RCA Hours and
on the March of Time program.
Upsala College granted her the
honorary Doctorate of Letters, and
she was also voted the best female
vocalist in Musical America’s mag-~
azine's seventh annual radio p&Jl
of 700 music critics in the United*
States and Canada.
