Senior Women Plan
Annual Leap Holiday
All ordinary social affairs, such as house dances, teas, and
dinners have been relegated to the background this week-end.
and Senior Leap Week reigns supreme. For a brief few days
in the closing term of her college career, the senior woman
comes thoroughly into her own with the right to choose her
own escort and take him where she will.

Annually each chapter of Delta
Delta Delta holds a Christmas
party for the poor children of its
neighborhood. After being enter
tained by the girls during the De
cember afternoon each child is
taken home with a useful gift or
two under his arm.
In order to have a perpetual
sum of money the income from
which may be expended for schol
arships and fellowships, the Tri
Delta endowment fund was estab
lished forty-five years ago. Wo
men abroad as well as in the
United States benefit from this
fund.
Tri-Delta has furnished a room
in the Paris International house,
thus making it possible for stu
dents there to live more cheaply.
Delta Zeta.
At the Delta Zeta national con
vention held biennually the Na
tional Achievement Trophy is
awarded the chapter having the
highest rating. Scholarship, in
ternal development, and national
cooperation form the basis of this
rating. A chapter winning this
cup three times in succession be
comes the permanent owner.
Various chapter and province
awards are also used to encour
age scholarship. Many chapters
show recognition to pledges who
make higher grades than required
for initiation.
For the purpose of helping Delta
Zetas who need financial aid to
finish college, or to assist chapters
in building new homes, the Delta
Zeta loan fund was establllhed.
The fraternity has also founded
a Community Center at Vest,
Kentucky, in behalf of the moun
tain children. A schoolhouse, a
girls’ dormitory, a library and fa
cilities for fireside industries all
tend to make this community cen
ter beneficial to the adults as well
as the children.

Mortar Board
Ball Dates to
Spring of 1930
Xwamas, formerly Pledged
at Campus Assembly,
Now at Dance
By BETTY ANNE MACDUFF
Back in the days when Bea Mil
ligan was secretary of the A. 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.
Ten Who Direct the Activities of Leap Week
Front row, left to right: Frances Keene, chairman of Delta Gamble; Jessie Steele, general
chairman of Senior Leap Week; Isabelle Crowell, secretary of directorate; Ellen Sersanous, chairman
of Mortar Board ball; Josephine Potts and Irene Clemens, co-chairmen of Gamma Phi Data. Back
row, left to right: Margaret Bean, publicity; .Ydele Hitchman, chairman of Farewell Folly; Barbara
Conly, patrons; and Mariorie Warner, features and promotion.
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.

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 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."

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.”

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. No
other group can lay such a decided
claim to this extenuating circum
stance, however.
