    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?”

'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. Olympus, 20
miles southwest of here.
Five ground parties, landed by
helicopter, fanned out over vari
ous trails heading toward the
wreckage, sighted on a glacier on
the 5.000-foot level of the 8,150
foot mountain.
The missing airman is 1st Lt.
Robert L. Canup Jr.. 25. of Salis
bury, N.C., one of four who para
chuted Thursday after two F89D
Scorpion jet interceptors collided
in flight on a training mission
from Paine Air Force Base.
Two of the fliers, 1st Lt Eu
gene A. Hamby. 26. Hillsboro.
Ore., and 2d Lt. George W. Deer.
22. Meadville, Miss., walked out
to safety Friday.
1st Lt. Jim B. Paschall, 22.
Paradise. Texas, a radar observ
er. made his way out of the wil
derness Saturday. All three were
in good condition.
Canup also was a radar observ
er. Adding to hopes that he too
survived the collision was the re
port of a farmer that he saw
flares burning late last night
southwest of where the wreckage
was sighted.
Air Force and Navy planes
searched from the air.
