Student Cards, a Puzzle
AN EVIL that is ever with us in connection with big games
which are played outside Eugene by Oregon teams is the “stu
dent ticket" scramble. The graduate manager’s office has con
sistently ruled that student body membership cards are not trans
ferable, and makes strenuous but futile efforLs to prevent students
who do not attend the games themselves from giving their cards
to friends outside the student body.
A financial consideration, the fear of having to give free seats
or cheaper seats 'to people who would otherwise be cash customers
prompts the policing efforts ot the student administration. Finan
cial loss on the part of the Associated Students should be of real
concern to every student, but unfortunately, personal considerations
carry more weight than communal ones, and the average student
has no scruples about lending or renting his ticket to someone who
does not wish to pay (lie prices charged the general public.
It is about time for a revision in policy on this rather impor
tant matter. Either the bars should be let down entirely and a
student body ticket held to be freely transferable; or some fool
proof method of enforcing non-transferability should be introduced.
Ttiere are two schools of opinion on the campus. One believes
that when a student has paid $26.25 for a student-body card, it is
his property, to be given to whomever he wishes. It also holds that
the University should allow enough seats at any game or perform
ance to equal the number of student-body cards in circulation, and
should not concern itself with who occupies them. However, this
position might be attacked from several valid angles.
The other school says that the Associated Students should fol
low the lead of other universities, notably Washington, and place
photographs of each student on his card. Snapshots of all students
were taken during registration week this year, and should be avail
able for this use.
A way out. of the difficulty might be to enforce strictly the
regulation which was advertised but not enforced at the Washing
ton game: that everyone had to show his student body card to
gether with his ticket of admission at the gate. An attached photo
graph would make identification easy, and the fear of detection
would scare out most of the usurpers.
If the Multnomah stadium officials could only be persuaded to
open more than one gate to admit 3000 students to the field, there
woidd be plenty of time to allow checking of pictures.
It. is a practical problem in business administration, and per
haps some bright pupil in the school for that subject can suggest
a better solution. But something must be done, either one way or
the other, to clear up the present “on-t tie-fence" state of affairs.
Dad Has Done A!S
UNDREDS of Oregon Dads will gather on the campus Saturday
-*■ for the only day set aside to honor them during the school
year. The idea of bringing the Dads to Eugene to better acquaint
them with the life of the average student at Oregon is indeed a
noble one and we should do our best to show them a good time.
Few students ever take time off from their social and other
activities to pay tribute to their Dads for after all it is Dad who
makes it possible for us to attend college. He is the one at the
helm of the family ship and it is he who provides the necessary
money for our education.
It is little enough that we set aside one day and have Dad down
as a guest. We should make the most of the opportunity to show
him the campus and to take him to the football game and to the
annual Dads’ banquet.
In most instances our Dads have never had the opportunity
we enjoy that of obtaining a college education. When lie looks
upon our buildings and our happy lives here at Oregon he will prob
ably remember back to his youth and rejoice that he is able to
send his boy or girl to Oregon.
Let’s enter into the Dad's Day spirit and show Dad the best
time we possibly can.
REGON students, through the Emerald, extend a welcoming
hand today to Leo Calland and his Idaho grid warriors who
are invading Eugene for the first conference tilt to be played here
An Oregon welcome is a sincere one. and to every Idaho man
we say- the campus is yours, \ isit your respective fraternity
houses if possible, renew old acquaintances and form new friend
ships. For after all. friendly personal relations are what bind two
universities such ns Oregon and Idaho closer together.
Football teams of colleges and universities in the Pacific North
west have set new high marks of supremacy this year over Cali
fornia elevens. More and more are the eyes of football fans the
country over being trained on the teams turned out in this North
west.
Men of Idaho, you will find the University and Eugene keyed
up over Saturdays game. We are looking forward to a mighty
good game. Facing an undefeated eleven, you come as a threat
to Oregon's hopes for Coast supremacy. Hut you are a welcome
threat, and may the best team win.
So we say, ‘‘Welcome, Vandals, and goed^ luck: ’
Welcome, Vandals
this fall.

OUR OWN WETFOOT SOCIETY
COLUMN
Of interest to tlieir many friends
in Eugene and Portland, to the
birth rate statistical bureau of
' Washington, D.
C., and to Mar
f garet Sangster of
New York City,
I is the engage
ment of ' Letta
Goyl Bee to Pete
Hardy which was
Bannounced last
*night at the Tri
Deit house. At
the same time
Mr. Hardy blushingly made the
announcement at the Sigma Chi
house, where the news was greet
ed with a clattering of monocles
tailing from surprised eyes. This
was succeeded by polite handclap
ping and courteous felicitations.
Violets and cecil-brunner roses,
baby-breath on a background of
maiden fern, decorated the table,
while the centerpiece carried out
the pink and violet tones. The
only light was from a couple of
burning freshmen who had been
well soaked in oil for the occa
sion. and who blazed beautifully
from the chandelier.
A surprise was afforded when
the Sigma Chi’s toted their radio
up and serenaded the Tri-delts
with it from outside just as the
limc-ricky bottles bearing the an
nouncements were being broken
open.
The box of candy was pink, tied '
with assorted black and blue shoe
laces. The top layer had the Sigma I
Chi colors and Delta Delta Delta
written in India ink on the bot- [
tom.
Miss Bee has never held a class
office, never befen on a committee,
but grew famous last year when
her picture appeared in a Lucky
Strike advertisement.
Mr. Hardy is a senior in the
course of time; has held up many
important student offices, and is
white.
Tonight Sigma Chi will enter
tain Delta Delta Delta at D-D-D

Jenkins Tells How
Women Got Start
In Newspapers
Editor of Register Talks
To Meeting of Theta
Sigma Phi
Prophesying that within ten
years women will make up half the
staffs of all leading newspapers of
the country, Frank Jenkins, edi
tor of the Eugene Register, told
members of Theta Sigma Phi,
journalism honorary, and others
who gathered for their open meet
ing Thursday evening, of the op
portunities for women in the news
paper world.
"Twenty years ago there was
not a newspaper in the country
that did not have a bitter preju
dice against women in the profes
sion,” declared the Eugene editor.
“Women arc now gradually mak
ing their way, and they are mak
ing it on sheer merit. They are
writing good stories and seeing
things to write about.”
Women broke into the newspa
per world through the society col
umn, Mr. Jenkins said. Gradually
they have wedged their way in far
ther by the “sob sister” features,
and then “hard-boiled old city edi
tors became amazed to realize
that women could really write as
good stories as men,” the editor
summed up.
One of the most valuable parts
of a newspaper is the items about
people, their comings and going,
the speaker said. “It is in this
feature of newspaper work that
women excel men. Women have a
better understanding of personal
news. They have a more correct
comprehension of the relation
ships of people in a community.
They are more genuinely interest
ed in the little personal stories
about people.”
The meeting is an annual one
sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi for
all women in journalism. Follow
ing the talk tea was served.

Dear Friends:
;v; Eugene people are beginning to buy Christinas gifts!
i j Saturday there were a lot of people in . . . some buy
ing, some looking, but all interested and complimentary.
@ Several selected gifts and bad them laid aside.
And, by the way, there is a most excellent idea. By
© making a selection now, you get just what you want.
A small payment down is all that’s required.
Mr. Skeie says if more people would do that, the
Christmas shopping problem wouldn’t be a problem at all.
I think he's right.
