My God, will they ever get enough T* of it!” No!-Never, Young folks will dance, they crave dancing, and they MUST dance. Millions of years ago the Piltdown man, a primitive human, leaped rhythmically about venting his emotions by the patter of his feet or the beat of stone upon stone. Uncivilized men throughout the ages have danced symbolically of their thoughts. Our forefathers squared themselves about for the schottische or the quadrille just as the folk of today settle down to the good old fox-trot or tango. • Dancing is a custom without an end. Fads in method pop up here and there, but fundamentally the emotions derived from true rhythm are the same. 'Twould have been shocking, no doubt, to see grandmother "8rest her head against her partner’s cheek in the presence of • strangers. We can neither imagine grandmother exposing her ■ ; dainty knee, nor earnestly puffing on a cigarette. Let us merely • mark that down as a few of society’s many changes. The style of dancing has so changed that it would be a tough job to persuade young Joe College to remain the required six inches from his partner. As a matter of fact, he wouldn’t do it. And this leads us to the reason why dancing has become so pop ular that this week on the campus of the University of Oregon . there was an election rally dance Wednesday night, another last night, and will be a public dance for students tonight, a Jun ioi/all-campus dance Saturday night, and another dance given *. ' especially for the students Sunday evening. ‘ •"•Might we be too crass by saying that the student likes so ° much dancing because it provides a splendid opportunity for Dim tV cirri brace his girl, any girl, his roommate's girl in public? LeL us teave that out, for at most it is only a petty reason. ,AsThe real reason students or any young people dance, and per . haps^overtlo it, is because it is one of the very few things they care to do t,hat does not place them in disgrace with their elders. := ‘ . The Week of Weeks ° ' *.*'■ y a: *■ AT the head® of the list of activities undertaken by the lour classes of students 'in.the University* we place Junior Week end. Covering a multitude^ of .small activities the week-end which now faces us is by far the most momentous undertaking of arty single group of students. Already they, the members of the junior class, are to bo congratulated, and, if the affair is a success, they may be congratulated even more enthusiastically. Officially opening Junior- Week-end is the campus luncheon. One thing essential for any undertaking is a good beginning, and a good beginning in this case rests with the weather man. If praying could be of any .value, his heart should he touched and now it looks as if he might be a little kind. So let us think little of how lonely a rain-filled lunch box will look. Baseball enthusiasts will have to make a quick decision be tween dancing on the old tennis courts and the ball game. Undoubtedly the greatest attraction of the day will be tire canoe fete. And rightly so, because those who have previously witnessed the display of floats on the venerable mill-race are quite aware of the spectacle's beauty. One word to the canoe fete committee. Please do not try the patience of the spectators by delaying the parade, or by spacing the floats so greatly. Dif ficulty of launching the massive structures is granted, but the crowd is often unaware of this. Lastly, the Emerald wishes the best of luck to all those who have so devoted their efforts to entertain others. Our idea of the meanest professor in the world is one who would give an hour quiz today. Someone said there was election of student body officers yesterday. Impressions ol a visiting ex-society editor of the Washington Daily: "At. Eugene three-piece suits and the very fashionable redin gote give a smart appearance to the clustering groups of women. The always collegiate cords have more favor in Eugene (or here* thar. in any of the other colleges and universities." By collegiate cords Miss Mathias probably means dirty cords. Insurance against being called on in class is being given at the University of Colorado. Rates depend on where you sit in class. What v.-.’.nf i in.: muae on the roll not being culled, these sunny days. Sic ***** 4: * * * * * Well, now the election is * * over, and everywhere, this * * bright and sunny morning, we * * see . cessful candidates run- * * ning f. bout informing people * * that t >ey didn’t really mean * all th rash promises they * * made while in the heat of all * * their oratorical battles. Mim- * * naugh just dropped in to tell * * us that it was a Camel cig- * arette he promised to give us * * for voting for him instead of * * an imported Havana. (Don’t * * misconstrue that remark. * * We’re not trying to call * * Knowlton a cigar.) * * * * * At # sjs *. At iU *. Caroline Card just dropped in to ask us why we made that dumb crack about the Alpha Phis the other night. “Tsk! Tsk!” ex claims the young lady, “Twice now you’ve made a remark about my house and neither time have we been able to see the point. Are you dumb, or are we?” To this let us reply, as we bow are dejected heads in shame, that we, and we alone, stand at fault. It seems that we sent out a per fectly good Alpha Phi story to the press the other night, but someone went to sleep and left it ail out with the exception of the last par agraph. Therefore, let us make amends by printing all the dirt. i And what’s this scandalous bit ! of news we’ve just picked up from | the Alpha Phi house. It seems that j three notorious frosh, the. three ! mosqueeters, as it were, decided to*' | get a bang out of college by put ting dynamite under certain vie- ! | tims selected at random from the j school at large. They, therefore, I called to their assistance the Beil ' telephone company and, putting their own house on the spot, called •fane Munk. “Hello, Janie darling,” , lisped one of the sweet little things. “This is the Emerald office, and we’d like to interview you for the paper.” Well, to make a long ' story more boiesome, Miss Munk gave a complete description of her favorite hobbies, namely horseback riding and golf. Finally she j thanked the reporter profusely for calling her. ! This dastardly deed performed, , the three girls turned their ener- , gies to other fields. After listening to John Finley spiel for about an hour on the cultural values of mu ,-ic they decided that they’d better get rid of him before he decided to play something over the phone for. their benefit. After promising the budding young musician pages of publicity, the sweet young things hung up. (That is, they hung the phone receiver up.) Heaven knows, these mosquee ters had already’ created disaster enough, but were they willing to stop there? Not on your life! What must they do but call up sweet, trusting Eleanor Cleveland and make a date to meet her at the Alt building in order to inter view her. Well, after waiting there till about midnight Eleanor decid ed that her interviewer had met with an accident so she wended her way sadly homeward. It is rumored that Polly Anne Jorgenson is also among the list of the duped, but last night she was strenuously denying that she had misplaced confidence in any one. Meanwhile three Alpha Phis go blithely on through life, disre garding all the havoc they have caused, and smiling wisely to them selves each time someone goes into raptures about horses, golf, art, or music. The moral of this little tale should he taken quite to heart. Don’t believe everything an Alpha Phi may tell you over the tele phone. * * * WITH THAT OFF OUR CITBSTS WE ARE PLEASED TO RELEASE ALL THE DOPE FOR CAROLINE, HOPING THAT SHE DOESN'T REALLY MEAN THE DIRTY LOOK SHE THREW OUR WAY. Well today is campus luncheon, and at last after many weeks of eager anticipation we are to really see what we paid our fifty cents for at the beginning of the term. Oh well, we do relish pickles! Picture if you can the looks of the campus grounds this after noon. Which thought reminds us of spring-, and spring reminds us of cut classes, and cut classes re mind us of shady places by the mill race, which in turn remind us of picnics, and (but, oh well, why overdoe a good thing.

PROFESSOR ERB TOLD HER THAT HE DOESN'T BE LIEVE IN CAMPUS POLITICS. * * *■ We were just down by the mill race (trite remark», and there we saw many fair young people build ing floats and such. Paul Howell building a submarine. Tush, tush, Paul! I bet the girl friend told you you’d look awfully cute in an admiral's uniform. Nancy Suo mela, on the other hand, wishes to deny all reports that she rec ommended a giant doughnut for the Chi O entry. The Interna tional boys were building a rocket. Huh, we rather suspicioned that someone would someday carry this futuristic idea too far. However, all in all, the floats ought to float to glory tonight, providing that they don’t sink before they get there. * * * WE WISH TO AWARD THE GRAND PRIZE OF A SILVER PLATED TOOTH PICK TO MIL DRED MCGEE FOR HANDING IN THE BEST CONTRIBUTION TO THIS COLUMN SO FAR THIS YEAR.

All manner of tools from pocket knives and needles to crosscut saws are being used busily in the construction of floats for the canoe fete. From here, a disorderly assort ment of boards, tangle of chicken wire, cheesecloth, and bag of white powder will bloom into a beautiful, gleaming “Frozen Fantasy” to night. A glorified incinerator, by the magic of colored lights and ar tistic hands will give a glimpse of future inter-planetary transporta tion as a “Hydro-rocket ship.” Jules Verne would have enjoyed seeing the silver submarine which is now reeking of aluminum paint. A clumsy skeleton of boards will be transformed into a magnifi cent barge and bear the dead Elaine of chivalric times on her last sad journey. the winners of the men’s and wom en’s swimming races. The swimming races, according to Paul Lafferty and Frances Ru pert, who are in charge, will take place at 11:30. Besides these races a number of short features have been planned to liven the event, and several numbers of exhibition diving and swimming in addition to clowning, will be included.
