Derby Memories Colorful, Many By PAT TKEECE Emerald Feature Writer Gone, but not forgotten, is an other Bunion Derby. Swimming before our eyes art* a thousand mental pictures, little order or sense to any of them, of that hec tic evening. Looking back we can still see the crazy costumes of the Phi Psi's. We won't forget the Chi Psi's either—those boys resem bled one of Phil Silver's lost pla toons in their khaki finery. Gaiety and brotherhood reigned supreme when a giant Beta, ran around Hendricks Hall measuring the girls in an attempt to find one short enough for his tiny pal. Little dancing and much win dow-shopping seemed to be the order of the day for the sweet heart-shopping frat when they reached the freshman dorms. Among the well-led groups was French Hall under command of a trumpet-blowing red head who sounded the charge whenever the Frenchmen were ready to move. Following the example in Fri day’s Emerald cartoon was the guy who paid his nickel for the first dance, and t-hen spent the evening. We won t forget the uninhabited guy who fell asleep on the sofa either, or the fellow we asked if he was enjoying his first year of school only to find out he was a junior, or the khaki clad gent with the laurel leaf ring on his brow. And too. little frosh women, nursing bruised and battered feet, no longer query. “Wonder why they call it the ‘Bunion’ Derby?” Campus Calendar Monday, Oct. 8 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Noon Fest of Arts 110 SU Adv Coun 111 SU Soc Staff 112 SU 4:00 Hds of Hses 112 SU New Fac Senate 334 SU 6:00 Frosh Rally Tryouts Gerl Annex 7:00 Orides Gerl 3rd Fir 7:30 Forensics 205 Villard 8:00 Turnabout Theatre Ballrm SU Today's Staff Makeup Editor: Marilyn Locke News Editor: Cay Mundorf Copy Desk: Sam Weiss, Sam Vahey Reporters: Patty Timmons, Bill Mainwaring.

'Oregon Record Clean' Hollis Tells Clubbers PORTLAND t.V- -Dean Orlando Hollis told the Oregon Duck Club Friday he feels assured that the University of Oregan is as “clean as it appears'' in observing the Pacific Coast Conference code. Hollis, faculty representative to the conference, outlined steps leading to penalties assessed against UCLA, the University of Southern California and the Uni versity of Washington for under the-table payments to athletes. Some sports writers, especially in Southern California, “talk about Oregon being lily white as though that is a matter of dis grace,’’ he said. The University's clean record, Hollis said, came because the in stitution decided “to be worthy of being a state institution and the kind of place you fathers would like to send your boys.” Search for Missing Airman Continues POUT ANGELES, Wash. I# The search for an airman miss ing- utter two jet fighter planes collided over the rugged Olympic Peninsula was spurred today by the sighting of plane wreckage on the slopes of Mt.
