S. U. O. and Helen Peters (Peter's Lodge ( was prexy of the A. W. S., the Mortar Board ball became the outstanding event of Senior Leap Week. That was in the spring of 1930. The Mortar Boards put their heads together and decided that "the thing this campus heeds” was a formal “leap” dance for which the co-eds would do the dating. Until then Kwamas had an nounced their pledges in assem bly, but the Mortar Boards and everyone else agreed that it would be much more impressive and much more interesting to have the pledging coincide with the dance. Great was the scurrying around as the gals dated up their secret sorrows, and according to history, great were the wails which went up from various frat houses where some of the “great men” were left dateless. The dance was held in the men’s dofmitory that year, and was such a success that it was moved to j the Eugene hotel the following year, when both dining rooms were opened for the affair. The last two years the entire first floor has been used by the guests, as it will be when the annual for mal will be given this coming Sat urday evening. Programs for the Mortar Board dance have found their inspiration in the name and pin of the or ganization. Those this year are expected to be the most original and attractive that have ever been used for this event, accord ing to Louise Webber, who is in charge of the programs. Tickets will be put on sale at the Co-op this afternoon, where they may be purchased for one dollar. The pasteboards have been on sale in the women’s living or ganizations all week.

Men, the Lucky Devils, Get in on All Senior Affairs _ Even though this is the pro verbial Senior Leap Week, men still get the luckiest breaks. Though they may not be popu lar enough to receive invita tions to all the dances and the midnight matinee they are suf ficiently privileged to be able to attend them all anyway. These same men will perhaps rationalize to the effect that “Oh, I was invited to every thing, but I thought I'd have a better time if I could stag," but the women will know that it’s just a good joke. Well, to make a long story short, senior men may stag or have dates, whichever they pre fer, although it is urged that the women who are eligible for the affairs ask them. Senior women, too, may attend any of the events without dates if they wish. [ —■ CINEMA — By WILLY JOHNSTON The Big Drive at the Colonial. An authentic picture of the Great War taken from the files of the governments of the various na tions. Stark realism thrown at one from start to finish with the portrayal of the vast forces mobil ized, the huge task of transport ing men and supplies to the front, the hurling of forces against one another in a struggle of such great magnitude that the world has never seen the equal. The film is not in sound but is syn chronized with -an explanatory monologue. A feeling of hopeless helplessness engulfs one as he sees the many wounded, the guns roaring incessantly, the roads crowded with replacements; new cannon fodder. * * * The best shot is that which shows a twenty foot section of trench, soldiers struggling in hand to-hand combat, not hating one another but the uniform which they wea-r, representative of dif ferent nationalities. This bit may cause shudders of horror to some, feelings of hate in others, but it will leave the impression of the tragedy and hopelessness of war spring vacation wedding, that of Miss Sally Addelman to Samuel Shenk in San Francisco on March 22. Miss Addelman was graduat ed from the University last year and was a member of Delta Gamma. Mr. Shenk is complet ing his course in the University of Oregon law school and is affil iated with Beta Theta Pi. The couple are residing in Eugene. Corrida do ToiIoh Has Meeting Tuesday Night Corrida de Todos met Tuesday night at the Westminster house in celebration of Pan-American day. On the program were Ray Olsen, who read a paper in Spanish on ''Inter-Amcrican Commerce,” and Clayton Wentz, who read a paper on "The Contribution of the Span ish-American Countries to Inter national Law.’ These were fol lowed by two plays, "La Mendiga,” given by Laura Blackwell and Hol ly Seavey, and “Napoleon and the Laundress,” given by Harvey Field and Margaret Ashton. Both of these plays were in Spanish. The club had an exhibition of the 21 flags of the American re publics, and Stanley Robe gave an explanation of each. The meeting was concluded with the inging of Spanish folk songs. in all. A good picture from the pacifist’s point of view as it points out the fallacies and grim waste of international conflict. A good picture from the point of view of the militarist as it shows the mis takes that were made in this great conflict and gives a taste of what actual combat is like to those many students of affairs military who did not serve in the Great War. The film is a typical old time flicker and does just that but it makes up what it lacks in clarity of photography by its real ism. * * * And the McDonald goes jungle with Buster Crabbe, newest of the Tarzans who won their initial honors in the Olympics. It’s a lot of hooey, frankly speaking. “Tar zan” was enlivened and humanized by a saving sense of humor, which Paramount has left out of ‘‘King of the Jungle,” or whatever its name is. Elephants push over busses, panthers .make merry with the paying customers at the zoo, Bus ter Crabbe distends his biceps and says “ugh.” If you like it, it's fine fun. Frances Dee lends her beautiful countenance to the con coction. ; “Time” did say that there was a ; good bit Crabbe playing an inar j ticulate Daniel in the den, gnash ing his Foransic teeth and “ugh ing” all over the place. I hae me doots. Two Engagements Announced Recently Two engagements of interest have been announced recently. The betrothal of Miss Kathryn Brigham to James Walton of Sa lem was announced in The Dalles.

Mr. Ruud attended the Uni versities of North Dakota and Washington. The wedding will be held on April 22. GREEN NAMED EDITOR FOR DAILY EMERALD (Continued front Page One) and Hitchcock would not be ac ceptable for the post. The council went on record as favoring that the candidacy for the Oregana post be thrown open again to all ap plicants. “ Emerald Editor Riled Neuberger claimed this was un constitutional. He said the can didate had to be selected from the original list of applicants, accord ing to the A. S. U. O. constitution, thus making Zurcher and Hitch cock the only eligible candidates for the post. Neuberger after the meeting asked Bob Hall, A. S. U. O. president, to request a rul ing from the judiciary committee interpreting the following item from the constitution regarding Zurcher’s and Hitchcock's candi dacy: "STAFF OF PUBLICATIONS. Every member of the Associated Students is eligible to be a member of the staff of any publication of the Associated Students. Each candidate for editor and manager of each publication shall submit to the publications committee on or before April 10, a written peti tion, stating his qualifications In full. From this group of candi dates, ihc publications committee shall recommend not later than the third week in April one person to the Executive Council for final ap proval to occupy the position of editor and business manager of each publication. If the Executive Council should reject the recom mendation, the publications com mittee shall reconsider the original group of candidates and recom mend another person to the Execu tive Council." "Mighty Oregon” Wanted One of the factors influencing the committee against Hitchcock was the fact that he presented a | petition at the meeting requesting that S. P. trains whistle "Mighty New ....

This evening Sigma Phi Ep silon will entertain for Alpha Chi Omega, Pi Beta Phi for Alpha Tau Omega; Beta Theta Pi for Delta Gamma; and Phi Delta Theta for Gamma Phi Beta. Oregon” as they passed the cam pus. The petition was signed by 150 names. Dr. Gilbert was the main objector to the vote making Hitchcock not acceptable. Following the meeting Neuber ger said he believed no one except Zurcher and Hitchcock would be eligible to run for the post of Ore gana editor, despite the ruling of the executive council. Neuberger also said he had requested that the business managership of the Em erald be thrown open to permit Bruce Hamby to run against Thucmmel, and that the publica tions committee had declined this request because of the constitu tional specifications. “Thus,” claimed Neuberger, “there is a def inite precedent restricting the Ore gana field to Zurcher and Hitch cock. I think it is only fair to them that no other candidates be admitted, despite the fact that the executive council finds fault with the qualifications of Zurcher and Hitchcock.” mn—mmmmmmmmmmmmmLzAiMmmmmmmmmmmm Kenneth West Finger and Perm.

Some Extenuating Facts None of the organizations in the last five places on either of the lists rated higher than thirtieth on the other list. These figures were made in 1932, which accounts for the presence on the list of some organizations which since have disbanded. The complete list in numerical order in given elsewhere in today’s Emer ald. The relatively low standings of La Casa Filipina and the Interna tional house may be explained par tially by the fact that many of their members are students from other lands, thus having the tre mendous handicap of being forced to learn another language.
