Leap Year in Earnest
\ MOMENT'S reflection shows that 1932 is plausibly divisible
by four. That makes it Leap Year. The possibilities of
the season were brought home to us yesterday when the Asso
ciated Women Students swung into action.
Twenty-two women’s living organizations have decided to
reverse the usual procedure for "Dime Crawl.” Men's houses
will hold “At Homes,” while the women will make the rounds,
paying a dime for the privilege of entering any one house to
dance with one or more of the men waiting within.
In view of the present "courtesy campaign” being waged on
the campus, it seems strange that the A. W. S. should not con
sider it necessary or even advisable to consult the men’s houses
before taking this drastic step.
Twelve hundred men found out yesterday that by imperial
feminine decree they are ordered to be in their houses between
6:30 and 7:30 next Wednesday evening to receive the invading
Amazons. By a single coup d’etat they find themselves com
missioned as gigolos, obliged to dance with any woman who
has the price.
Murmurs of resentment and revolt ran ’round a score of fra
ternity dinner tables last night. In spite of the ruthless prog
ress of feminism, the male is still a proud animal. He likes
to be consulted before arbitrary disposition is made of his time
und his social inclinations.
Once Again, 150 Women
ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS’ mass meetings in the
past have often proved misnomers with sometimes scarcely
a quorum of co-eds in attendance. Last fall, to remedy the
situation, Ann Baum, A. W. S. president, demanded that unless
150 women appeared for a meeting she would adjourn it. Her
ultimatum was effective: 150 and more, by official count, were
there.
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock in Gerlinger hall, the A. W. S.
will hold its only mass meeting of winter term. No decree for
any set attendance has as yet come from Miss Baum, but we
feel sure she is desirous of having a largo turnout. And the
meeting warrants one.
The appearance of Cameron Beck, personnel director of the
J4ew York stock exchange, and rated as one of the "big men”
in his line as well us a splendid speaker, will make Monday’s
meeting particularly good. It is not often that a man of Beck's
recognized leadership and ability is available on this campus for
the benefit of students. His discussion of the vocational field
for women will be one that should not be missed.
This Unsettled World
A^TlAT'S wrong with these pictures?
A Redwood City, California, man married his mother*
in-law.
The Prince of Wales, in a new suit, was heckled during a
speech the other night by a number of young women.
A school of herring jammed the condenser on the engine
coolers of a vessel off the coast of British Columbia. Thought
it was a sardine can.
The naval affairs committee of the French chamber of depu
ties yesterday recommended the immediate construction of a
26,000-ton battle cruiser The international conference on the
limitation of armaments opens next Tuesday in Geneva.
Webfoots We Stay
T^ECISION of the executive council to keep the name "W eb
foots" for Oregon's athletic teams- until a more suitable
one could be found (if ever) was the only logical action fof
the student body’s supreme group to take.
Individual members of the executive council, we hear, are
in favor of changing from "Webfoots" to something else, but
what that will be not even they can say.
Two weeks ago on the day of a campus poll to sound out
student sentiment on the name controversy, the Emerald warned.
“Unless a name is proposed that clearly has an advantage over
the one now in use, it would be foolish to make it change." We
arc glad to see that stand upheld try the executive council.'
Again we uay. were it til Webfoots.

In Wordy Argument
With Pacific
The freshman debate teams won
and lost In the meeting with the
Pacific university debaters here
yesterday in a dual debate using
the cross question type of argu
ment.
Orval Thompson and Herbert
Skalet, upholding the negative for
the freshman team lost to Byron
Blakenship and Charles Ellwell of
Pacific and Howard Ohmart and
Theodore Pursley, the freshman
affirmative team, defeated unani
mously the Pacific negative team,
James Yeomans and James Cope
land.
This debate, the first of a series
to be held this term, dealt with
the question, ‘‘Resolved: That con
gress should enact some form of
legislation providing for a cen
tralized control of industry.”
Reverend Ernest M. Whitesmith,
pastor of the Unitarian church,
Reverend Milton S. Webber of the
Presbyterian church, and Mr. No
bles of Eugene were judges for the
section of the debate in which the
Oregon freshmen upheld the nega
tive. V. L. Brookes, Reverend Clay
E. Palmer, and Donald R. Husband
judged the debate won by the
freshman affirmative team.
George Bennett, who had gener
al charge of the debate, and Robert
Oliver, graduate assistant in the
speech department, were chairmen
of the debates. The debaters were
judged on the effectiveness of the
arguments presented and on the
manner of presentation.
