Register-Guard, Eugene Ore 1 2A Tluirs., Oct. 21, 1954 In One Ear... By BOB FRAZIER THE NICEST THINGS happen to people sometimes. If they're lucky, they happer when the per son is still more or less alive. George Washington didn't get the bridge named after him until he was dead. The same thing hap pened to McKenzie, the river man and to Drip 0 Lator, the coffee pot man. This columnist is luckier. You may recall that he's been giving the Springfield Memorial Bldg. management the needle for sev eral months because the men's room in that otherwise comfort able building has not been ade quately marked. Well, Tuesday the Springfield Booster's Club had a brief ceremony in which they unveiled the new marking on the door. j There it was in large type. "M-E-N" it says. And above the door, in more dignified letters is the legend, "Robert B. Frazier Memorial doorway." How wonderful it is to be hon ored in the same manner as Bruno Heceta! PRETTY FANCY ceremony,! speaking of ceremonies, up at the university Tuesday. Do you know where all those caps and gowns came from? From Oregon State College, that's where. The reason is that O.S.C. has storage space and the university doesn't. So they made a deal. O.S.C. bought the stuff and the university rents it when it's needed. THERE WAS A LOT of academic gushing after Zechariah Chafee's speech to the faculty Tuesday night at the close of the big and frantic day. When one listener commented afterward that the prof certainly had a won derful mind, another listener dis agreed. "It's not his mind that's so unusual," he said "What I ad mire is his guts." LIVING IN A university town can be very interesting. Where else would you see a thing like this At the inauguration ceremonies Tuesday a little Chinese girl was taking notes on what the learned gentlemen had to say. Her notes were a glorious mixture of Ens lish, Chinese and Gregg Short hand. THE SENATOR was wrong and me pnotog was ngnt. Kemem ber last week that Guy Cordon torn van wolcott that Phil's pic tures wouldn't turn out because there wasn't enoueh lioht Well, Phil finished up the roll and had 'em developed. Guy's picture is tine, mil's sending mm one. POLITICS ISN'T always a dirty business. Clarence Hvrie. whn is running for state senator, got on the radio the other day to talk aoout nis campaign. He mention ed his Republican opponents, Don liusDana and Truman Chase Said he: "They are both fine men and my trionas." IT WAS YORKTOWN Day Tues day, which means that Hallo ween will soon be upon us. It is interesting to note, then, that some people are already thinking doui (jnnstmas. Ethan Newman and Ed Boclin- kc are examples. Ethan, who is postmaster, says this is time to send Christmas packages overseas. After Nov. 15 it will be too late, he says, unless you send 'cm airmail. Then vou have until the 25lh. Airmail, how ever, is limited to two pounds and what doting mother ever lim ited to two pounds the cookies she sent her pfc in Japan? Ed, who runs a printing busi ness when he isn't running the Republican Parly, is concerned about Christmas cards. Every year, he says, women come in about the middle of December and find there are no envelopes to fit the Christinas cards they've been making all fall. Ed suggests that this year the ladies pick out the envelopes first, and then make cards to fit. Observes Ritual NEW DELHI, India Ml Re ports from Jodhpur Wednesday said a widowed Indian princess flung herself on the funeral pyre of her husband Tuesday and burned to death in the ancient but now outlawed Hindu ritual of suttee.
