Order of 0
Sets Up Rules
Eliminates Question
Regarding Eligibility
As a sequel to the mysterious
anti complete disappearance of the
constitution of the Order of the
O in 1928, the lettermen’s organi
zation will consider a set of writ
ten rules for its government at a
meeting in the Alpha Tau Omega
house at noon today.
During the past seven years
when no written set of rules was
available for governing the body,
one of the major controversies
which repeatedly has arisen is in
regard to those who are eligible
to become members of the Order
of the O.
Definite provision has been made
in the tentative constitution to
eliminate this, Pres. Harry McCall
states. McCall, Bob Hunter and
Bob Miller have the constitution in
form and will present it at the
meeting tomorrow.
Under the new set-up, if it is
adopted without amendment, only
major award winners are eligible
for membership and must be voted
in by the members. Award win
ners in minor sports will be voted
upon for membership only in case
they are given the major award
first.

Weather Man
Promises No
Respite From Cold
Bitter cold continued to grip the
state over the weekend with the
thermometer sliding to 15 in Eu
gene Sunday and Monday morn
ings.
“Fair and continued cold” was
all the weather man could promise
for the next few days, cutting
short all hopes of milder weather.
Sleeping porches in living organ
izations have been most upopular
since the cold snap started, prin
cipally because of the numerous
open windows which permit the
cold air to circulate under the
covers.
Sheets have been discarded and
many students, both men and
women, are wearing extra pajamas,
stockings, sweaters, scarfs, light
pants, rooters lids, and other cloth
ing not usually worn in beds, to
prezent freezing in bed.
The light snow which fell last
week still is to be found in the
shade, sub-freezing temperatures
every night not permitting it to
melt where the sun does not hit it
during the day.
Leaves have been plummeting to
the ground from trees on the cam
pus in added numbers as the cold
increases. NYA workers have been
kept busy wielding brooms to keep
the campus at its best for Home
coming, however.
Bright winter sunshine has been
bathing the campus during the last
few days of the frigid weather,
being a bitter contrast to the low
temperatures recorded at night.

Maids Scarce; Law School
Organizes 'Date Committee5
By A. SIGNE RASMUSSEN
And it came to pass that in the
University law school it was voted
that a dance should be held at the
Del Rey cafe on the night of No
vember 8. And all the students, so
accustomed to “midnight oil,” re
joiced greatly at the thought of a
carefree evening with bright
lights and a fair maid for a com
panion instead of a text book.
But it was also true that in this
school of law there were only four
shy maids. After the decision for
a dance was reached, there was a
general melee. Emerged four vic
torious swains—with dates for the
dance. The conquered, in despair,
gathered to console each other.
And out of this gathering was
born a new hope—the date com
mittee.
With characteristic thorough
ness the law school students im
. mediately and unanimously elect
ed Philip “Oscar” Hayter, “Fiji
Flash," chairman of the commit
tee. He stated publicly yesterday
that:
“Any girl interested in securing
a date for the law school fall in
formal is reuested to call Philip
Hayter at 660 during meal times.”
The "Fiji Flash” also declared,
a3 a further inducement, that the
tradition of dancing without an
orchestra had been abolished and
that this year Buck McGowan’s
ten-piece orchestra has been per
suaded to inspire the feet of the
worthy swains w'ith his lilting mel
odies.
All applicants for dates will be
considered, the committee agreed.
Preference, however, will be given
to girls:
1. Above the age of consent.
2. White, and

Rally Dance
To Be Staged
Friday Night
Committee Predicts
Mammoth Noise
Parade Biggest
In School History
Plans are shaping for a huge
homecoming rally dance to be
staged in Gerlinger hall Friday
night before the Oregon-O. S. C.
game Saturday. The rally com
mittee plans to charge only enough
to cover expenses.
The rally dance will take the
form of a huge “war dance” in
preparation for the big game next
day. Students will come to the
dance via the noise parade sched
uled for Friday evening. This pa
rade, an annual affair, is noted for
its ability to hit a new high each
year for ear-splitting, riotous
noise.
Noise Heard at Distance
Sounds from these noise parades
have been heard as far away from
Eugene as Springfield and Goshen
and the rally committee plans to
make this year’s parade no excep
tion to the rule.
Every student is urged to ob
tain some form of noise making
instrument, the louder the better.
Whilstles, horns, drums, kettles,
rackers, sirens, are all in order
Friday night.
Rally Dance Follows
After the parade students will
troup up to Gerlinger hall where
the fun and pep rally will continue
and dancing will be the feature.
The rally committee stated that
many Oregon State students will
be in Eugene Friday night, that
next year will be the Beavers’ turn
to stage the rally, and that it’s up
to the University of Oregon to put
on a rally OSC will never be able
to equal.

Committee Advocates
Voluntary ROTC Drill
Indicative of a possible shift of
legislative opinion toward volun
tary military training and optional
student body fees in Oregon’s high
er educational institutions, the sen
ate at the special assembly yester
day considered two bills giving
students more freedom in both
cases.
The bill introduced by Senator
W. E. Burke, Republican. Yamhill,
making payment of activity fees
optional, was passed by the senate
by a 16-to-10 vote, and sent to
the house for further considera
tion.
Voluntary Drill Recommended
The senate committee on educa
tion recommended voluntary ROTO
drill by a majority of four to three.
Senators Wheeler, Staples, Carney,
and Hazlitt signed the majority
report, and the minority report
listed the names of Senators Lee,
Walker, and Fisher. Senators Pe
ter Zimmerman and Byron G. Car
ney and Representative Johnson
introduced the bill, which as yet is
to be considered by the senate as a
whole.
Ishould the house also pass fa
vorably on the optional fee bill, the
first student referendum in history,
conducted last spring, will be nul
lified at a saving to the state.
-Referendum Starts Here
The referendum was started on
the University campus by out
standing liberals led by Richard L.
Neuberger and Howard Ohmart af
ter the last legislature had givpn
the power of making extra-curricu
lar fees obligatory to the state
board of higher education. At that
time both the senate and the house
passed the bill by a big majority.
Senate bill 75, introduced at the
last legislature by Zimmerman to
make ROTC training optional, was
tabled without consideration after
the senate was urged by Neuberg
er and Stephen B. Kahn to vote
favorably.

Campus opposition to compul
sory drill was brought to a head
this year by the refusal of Gordon

Smith Speaks
On Fascism
S. Stephenson Smith, University
English professor, Friday night
outlined the meaning of and steps
against what he called ‘‘Fascism,
the Grim Jest.” Professor Smith,
a member of the League Against
War and Fascism’s steering com
mittee, told that organization,
when it met at the Community
Liberal church, that he considered
war and fascism partners in crime
that could be stemmed only by
resolute action on the part of lib
eral persons.
The league adopted a strong res
olution against compulsory mili
tary drill in high schools, colleges
and universities, and urged ail
sympathetic organizations to lend
active support in a concerted drive
to realize the objective of optional
drill, first in Oregon, then through
out the nation.
ASUO Speakers
Will Pass Hat
Student donations for the an
nual Salvation army maintenance
fund will be gathered at lunch to
day by the ASUO speakers com
mittee when they talk before cam
pus living organizations, A1 Davis,

yesterday.
Today's drive is part of the cam
paign being carried out this week
over the entire campus. Organiza
tion of the students was under the
direction of Dean Karl W. On
thank, who represents the student
body on the faculty committee.
No quota has been set by the
committee but it is hoped that this
year's drive will top the showdng
made last year.
