It is unnecessary to tell you how we sound on the "Old Historic Temple" etc. Here are some of the songs which should be learned and practiced this week. Duane Denney OLD HISTORIC TEMPLE There's an old historic temple rising grandly through the year Where the oaken hearted fathers drew their strength for their strong careers; Down the years, its portals open, Gathered wise ones to its folds. Breathed the spirit of the Westland Cardinal emblem bossed with gold. Spirit of the Golden Westland, breathing through the father's tears. Tells the story of the temple, bids us hope a down the years, Sing, oh, sing, oh, sing of dear Willamette. Sing while hearts are young and true, Sea to sea the chorus welling, Dear Old School of our W.U. AROUND THE CAMPUS Around the campus of old Willamette We'll shuffle the cards and roll the bones along, along, along. Around the campus of old Willamette, We'll shuffle the cards and roll the bones along, along, along. Slinga da ink, slinga da ink, Slinga da ink and pusha da pen along, along, along. Around the campus of old Will a mette, We'll slinga da ink and pusha da pen along. Worry the Profs, worry the Profs, Worry the Profs and kind them right along, along along--Boys sing: Fuss the girls, fuss the girls, Fuss the girls and kid them right along, along, along. Girls sing: Vamp the boys, vamp the boys, Vamp the boys and kid them right along, along, along-WU, WU WU will help you right along, along along, Each class insert its own number: '48, '48 (shout) '48 will help you right along, along, along. I 8 INDIANS KNOWN TO JASON LEE Oh, the Indians known to Jason Lee, Went out one night on a little spree They organized a rhythm band That soon was known throughout the land Then they went off to college And they took their band along. With sharps and flat and feathers in their hats They beat their big tom toms; The big chief smiled; The squams went wild As they sang their college song Woo-oo Woo-oo Woooo-oooo At Willamette U, each gal and lad Has the same kind of rhythm that the Indians had The red man's ghost is with us still And if we don't whooo, we're sure they will. CANNIBAL KING A cannibal king with a big nose ring Got stuck on a Zulu maid, And every night when the moon shone bright Across the canal he'd wade To hug and kiss his dusky miss Out under the big bay tree, And when they met they sang a duet That sounded like this to me Oh, Jason Lee, socretty boo-ya Oh Popps Waller, Chenickety umpa Umpa-Umpa-Um.

Classes Write (,Fight'Songs Visions of the Mill stream were reportedly fading from the minds of sophomores this week, as its first musical contribution to Glee was circulated. on the campus. This feeling was echoed by optimistic members of the fresh-i man and junior classes, also, as I news of compositions which were called in each case, "sure to win . the Glee", became known on the campus. Duane Denney, chairman of the affair, and also a freshman, maintained his impartiality toward the inter-class competition, but said that the sonis which he had seen were all "very good... · .Publicity chairman Dick Louthan announced that recordings will be made again this year Of! the winning song, as well as those which were performed byl each class; A previous announcement said that station KOCO, will beam the .musical event" which has been an annual custom at WUlamette for over 401 years, to listeners who will be! unable to attend. , The records will be made by, a local recorder, and orders willi be taken the week preceding. Glee, with distribution slated for I the week following spring vacation. Denney stated that nil new committee. heads had been appointed, also commenting that judges were not yet appointed. Tickets for Glee, which is scheduled for March 25 in the gymnasium, will be free again this year, and distribution will not begin for several weeks. A two hundred-person limit for actual stage presentation has been placed upon each class, and activities will begin in earnest on the matter of staging in the near future, Denney said. . With Glee set for three weeks from tomorrow,frenzied activity by all classes became necessary this week, and' class .leaders promised that marching and song practice will begin immediately. ...~ ---..".-.",..--..,,_.--.-..--.",'-~---"'-. '-~. WitheyRecites. t!Blue-Monday' , Rules t!Don't's' , < ~, . As the gaeity of Glee festivities and preparations began to dawn over the campus this week, Dean Raymond A. Withey reminded students of' a list of "don't's", .instituted last year, to be. followed. on the fate;ful Monday morning after the song contest. Emphasizing that ''No bet shall take advantage of the existing rules or traditional policies of the University", the student handbook indicates. that this .includes such practices' as bringing ~ for sale into the Cat Cavern. The rules state that "Animals are not to be allowed on the campus as a part of Bet Day". Also the use of water bags is prohibited. . The handbook also 'statesthat pie-throwing, or any ather similar use of food, will not be permitted inside the chapel or other' campus buildings. He further stressed that 'no bets may be made off-campus which' attract public attention.. This .would supposedly eliminate communist rallies on the steps of the state capitol, such as the one last~ear, or eating breakfast on State street. : No ill effects were felt last year by any students from administration action, and the current Glee manager, Duane Denney, anticipated that this year will be equally quiet. Bets will be paid off the Monday following Glee at' a special 11 a.m. chapel in the gym. Classes that period will be excused. ~~lass-Q~-~!~~~E~ate(f~lee',c ;;.

Remeber that uniforms count no more than what their neatness and uniformity contribute to the judging of the song and formation. Each class will be responsible for finacing their own flowers and uniforms. 2. Judging will be on the same basis as lastr year, music 20 pointsi words 20 pointsi vocal redition--40 pointsi and formation--20 points. On foramtion, the most points, 10, will be awarded for the originality of the formation itslef, adaptability and execution, 5 points each. 3. This year's Glee will be presented with one basic formation in each class. Minor changes may be made within the formation. To eliminate any dissension in reagard to what constitutes a minor or major change, all formations must be submitted in writing to the Glee manager on Friday, March 17, for approval. The executive committee will be the final authority on what cohnstitutes such changes as are desired. Needless to say, all formations will be kept in strictest confidence. 4. The entire formation must participate in the presentation of the song. Outstanding groups such as trios, quartets, with the exception of solos, will be permitted, but the entire formation must be taking part vically in some way. 5. Music and words must be turned in to Dr. Schulze's office on Monday. 2,4 6. The composition must be written on standard score sheets, in black India ink, with the melody line and piano accompaniment. Only the basic composition is required; special arrangements of the theme need not be submitted. Four copies of the music, and four copiues of the words will be necessary, the title of the song will appear on each score, the anme the class representred and the name of the person writing the song will appear on one copy of the music and one copy of the words. 6. No stage propert swill ber permitted. 7. No more than two hundred people may be on stage at anyone time. 8. Only seniors may use the center steps, all other classes will use the side steps. 9. Parodies begin only after the seniors enter and are to be sung in sequence; seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. 11. Seniors wear caps and gown when entering the gym. 12. Saturday, March 18, a completed list of all participating members of each class must be submitted to Dr. Schulze's ice by the class Glee managers. 13. the president each class will issue the tickets to s calss members on the basis arranged by the ticket. 14. All scheduled glee practices will be confined to the week preceding Glee. This permits approximately 40 hours of scheduled practice time. When it was decided that we would dedicate the Glee to I> the' founders, Duane asked me bO invite the Freshman class of 1908 (which was the gra1uateing class of 1912) to the Glee as honored guests.

Frosh president, Tom Scheidel united with Glee' manager Duan~ Denney by bonds of mutual sympathy for the other three classes (also by a short length of chain) presented his challenge in th~ form of a prognostication. By a series of syllogisms, Scheidel arrived at his prediction which saw £he seniors wading in the Mill Stream, ~ollowed closely by the sophomores and juniors. t. The response which foll~wed his declaration gave promise of an enthusiastic songiest and an even more lively Blue Monday. The sophomores, accompanied by a brass trio, pledged support to 'd t Sh 1" preSl en erm B ISS reply and in doing so ahnost shattered a couple of windows with their spirited response. The air was filled with paper airplanes, and frosh "cigarette girls" distributed candy life-savers to the more pessimistic nonswimmers in the audience as junior president, Bob Skirvin, ac~ epted. the cpallenge. He .looked mto hIS cryshil ball and predic.,.
