Bearded Sophs Select Jail Motif Campus Clothes Attire* for Dance; Directorate List Now Complete With sophomores prowling around the campus in budding beards, Mel Shevack and Bob de Armond, co-chairmen of the sopho more Whiskerino, announced the complete directorate for the dance, which will be held February 7. Genevieve McNeice and Gladys Battleson head the list of assistant chairmen. The motif of the dance, the chairmen announced, will center around the idea of a jail. “We feel,” the chairmen said, "that this idea will fit right in with our whiskered sophomores. At a general commit tee meeting it was decided that nothing but campus clothes may be worn at the dance, and our motif will fit right in with this ruling.” Beardless Sophs Warned Many features have been out lined for the dance the most im portant of which will be the mock trial which will be held during in termission when prominent cam pus personages will be hailed be fore the “kangaroo court” and just (?) sentences will be meted out. Another feature will be the finger printing of guests. The vigilantes committee had a general committee meeting last night under the direction of chief vigilantes Leland Terry and Bud Goodin, who again repeated the intentions of their group to mill race sophomores who break the tradition and shave before the dance. It is understood that several sophomores are due to “hit the drink" this noon for offending the holy canon of tradition.

The person receiving the most votes will judge the contest and choose the winner of the “Head-on Dancers” during the in termission. Orchestra to l’lay Always open-minded, the music committee has broken all tradition and is reported to be functioning successfully, and may even secure an orchestra to furnish the stimu lus for the already-stimulated glid ers. The date commit tee is sparing no energy. They are feverishly working day and night, doing their utmost in procuring dates for Champ Stoddard and Harry Mc Call. The committee urges that any girl who lins self-confidence, plenty of insurance, and sporting blood report to the date commit tee if she is interested in attend ing the dance. As the famous Lord Eldon said, “Okay kid, I’ll see you at the Ore gon law school dance.

Ducks Return (Continued from P'lgc Three) infected toe, but will be back in suit today. Oregon is faced with the neces sity of winning both games from Hec Edmondson's boomers here in order to remain a real threat in the title chase, and the Webfoots are out to do it. Hobson plans light workouts for the coming three days. Beavers Back in Race Oregon State's double victory over Idaho put the Beavers back in the thick of the race and a pair of wins for Oregon over the Hus kies Friday and Saturday would throw the derby into a three-way scramble. Idaho’s double loss to the Staters dropped the Vandals completely out of the running, and Washington State, with three de feats in four games, is on the rag ged edge of elimination. The Cou gars and Idaho play Saturday in a cellar battle. After the early moments of the first half of Saturday’s fray at Seattle Oregon was definitely a beaten team. Washington led at half-time, 21 to 13, and immediate ly after the intermission the gren adiers pared the margin to four points, 21 to 17. Then the Husky big guns boomed into action and smeared the poor Ducks all over the floor of their big pavilion.

Robinson. In the prinicpal roles of this realistic "siloe of life” drama will be Margaret Chase, Alice Hult Robert Henderson, . E. Margie Tucker, George Bikman, Helen Roberts, Dick Koken and George Batterson. Many of these people have been seen in past campus pro ductions, others are fresh recruits from the drama division’s tech nique of acting class and outside talent. Alice Hult Has Part Alice Hult will have one of her best parts to date as Emma Jones, the rather coarse, loud-mouthed gossip of the apartment house. Helen Roberts will portray Anna Maurrant, who is the talk of the neighborhood because she is hav ing a cheap, shoddy love affair with another man while her hus band is at work, Her daughter Rose, struggling to live up to her ideals, falls in love with Sam Kap lan played by George Bikman. Margaret Chase, who has had numerous parts in past produc tions, will be seen as Rose. Shirley Kaplan, played by E. Margie Tucker, warns Rose that marriage with Sam will come to grief be cause of their racial difference. In the meantime Rose is being an noyed by her employer, Harry Easter. George Batterson has the part of Easter. The climax of the plot is reached when Frank Maur rant, Rose’s father, returns home to find his wife’s lover in his home. Dick Koken will be seen in this part. Henderson to Play In the comic role of Fillipo Fiorentino will be seen Robert Henderson who made a hit with campus audiences both in Eugene and Ashland for his portrayal of Sir Anthony Absolute in “The Rivals.” Every role or bit part in “Street Scene” offers an interestingly dif ferent type of character. Milkmen, school teachers, street cleaners, music teachers, and old clothes dealers all mingle in a colorful panorama of life in New York's poorer section.

Miss Henry Praises Student Cooperatives By MARIE CAVANAGH “A cooperative house means more to students than simply an interesting and comfortable place to live. Cooperatives can offer to people who are likely to be lead ers - for they have for the most part been earning all or part of tfyejr own expenses, and have bet ter than average initiative and willingness an opportunity for promoting and directing coopera tive movements outside of college. Members are exposed to coopera tive practice and permitted to dem onstrate their interest and willing ness. Many become capable of di recting and founding cooperatives in communities.” To Miss Elinor E. Henry, man aging editor of The Cooperative. Venture, cooperative student pub lication at the Cniversity of Wash ington, the above statements in clude the most significant results i-f the cooperative living system, which has proved successful on the Seattle campus, and is grow ing more and more important throughout the country. Loaders Trained A feature of the cooperative system in Washington is the speakers committee, which pre pares students to discuss cooper ative organization in their own and other communities. Miss Henry believes that this growing interest in communities, is pre paring places for students to di rect cooperative movements as a definite career after college. Many cooperative organizations have their eyes on student leaders in the movement and promise open ings to qualified men and women when they have completed their college work. “In writing and teaching coop eration there is a definite place for women,” Miss Henry stated "It happens that every student who has graduated from the Wash ington women's cooperative hous es now has a good position. Some are teaching, some doing social service work. Probably this rec ord is not due to the cooperative background entirely, but it seems to indicate that the type of girl who is attracted to the co-op is the kind who receives first choice." Unfortunate Tie-up It is a regrettable fact, in Miss Henry’s opinion, that the term “cooperative” has an unpleasant connotation in the ears of some American people. So-called coop eratives not based on sound busi ness principles frequently fail Then, too, the most familiar type in this country is the producers' cooperative which frequently ar rays itself against other groups for its own ends, resulting quite often in a monopoly that actually is opposed to the interests of the consumer. ‘‘We wish to stress consumers' cooperation — which vill lead ultimately to production by the consumer, of course,” Miss Henry said. Paper Published The Cooperative Venture does not concern itself entirely with cooperative action on its own cam pus but devotes some space, also, to other cooperatives in the United States and in other countries. It acts as a clearing house of infor mation from cooperatives at many other colleges. Alpha Delta Pi Purchases House Sorority Group to Move During Spring Vacation Joining the growing rank of so rorities who are making their per manent residence on the south side of the campus, Alpha Lambda of Alpha Delta Pi sorority has pur chased the house at 1670 Alder street, at present occupied by the Zeta Tan Alpha sorority, and will move during spring vacation. Ap proval has been given by the hous ing group. Alpha Delta Pi sorority has been on the University of Oregon cam pus for 16 years and first took up residence in the University heights district. In 1926 the chapter moved to its present location on the mill race. Mrs. T. W. Harris, Jr., of Berke ley, California, national executive secretary of the sorority, has been visiting the Eugene chapter for the past week assisting with plans for the removal to the new property. Miss Maxine Blake, district presi dent of the group, who has been a guest of the Eugene chapter, left this morning for Seattle after a week’s visit. Sociology Group {Continued from Pane tine) contends that, no matter what the composition of society, within two generations it will stabilize itself, and there will be more or less nor mal distribution of all age group ings. The main point in Wilbert Moore's review of “Pareto as a Sociologist” was that society must be governed by the elite, and that these elite tend to rise to the top because they can better manage the affairs of others. Pareto's con tention is that the best form of government is dictatorship. Mus solini has accepted Pareto as his spiritual and intellectual adviser. After much discussion, refresh ments were served. The group meets again within two weeks. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription rates 52 30 a year. Group Honors Dean Allen Hetnlrieks Hall Seene Of Farewell Banquet A gay company consisting of j Mrs. Eric W. Alien, Col. John Leader, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mil ler, Dr. James Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Eric Forsta, and Mrs. A. E. Brockman met as the Sunday din ner guests of Hendricks hall Jan uary 26 to honor Dean and Mrs. Allen before they sail for Europe some time in March. During the afternoon Col. Lead er, who is soon to leave for Eng land, spoke fluent Japanese with Ruby Shiomi, a Japanese student, made a tennis date with Muriel Nicholas, formerly Oregon state women’s tennis champion, and in his inimitable way told of expe riences in the life of England's new King Edward VIII. The former Prince of Wales will never marry, Colonel Leader be lieves, because of an unfortunate love affair in his youth. “The Eng lish people would have sanctioned his marriage with anyone, and especially an American girl, but their conformist’s conscience would not allow a marriage with a di vorcee.” Now it is too late, and in Colonel Leader’s opinion, the next English monarch will be the pres ent little Princess Elizabeth. Mrs. Jane Thacher pleased the group by playing several beautiful piano selections after dinner. Al though the affair was in his honor, Dean Allen could not be present, because of illness and needed rest. Orides Sponsors Of Speech Contest Feminine Types Will Be Subjects of Talks The Orides are sponsoring an after dinner speaking contest Feb ruary 20, at 6 p. m. at a place to be announced later.

She may bemoan, celebrate, or sat irize the woman. The speeches are to be not less than six minutes and not more than eight minutes in length.

Rex Underwood Has Operation Disability Will Delay Symphony Concert Rex Underwood of the Univer sity school of music faculty, con ductor of both the Eugene Junior Symphony orchestra and the Uni versity symphony, returned Satur day night from Portland following a very delicate operation on his left arm. While in Japan this summer, his elbow was damaged and a nerve was torn loose. The object of this operation was to transplant the nerve from the outer to the inner side of the joint and to insert a synthetic sheath in his arm. Underwood at present is not suffering from the operation, but his arm is in a heavy cast and it will be several weeks before he is able to regain full use of it. The program for the University symphony and the Eugene Junior symphony are being postponed un tiil Mr. Underwood’s arm is out of the cast and the Portland physi cians have had an opportunity to pass upon its fitness. It is expected that the Univer sity symphony will give its second concert the latter part of this term and that the Eugene Junior sym phoy will appear either the latter part of this term or early in the spring.

Stovall, instructor in geography, started out to visit a cranberry farm in Washington over the weekend in order to impart fuller knowledge to his geography classes, and ended up by visiting the scene of the wrecked Iowa, and partaking of biscuits made from flour salvaged from the ship. Although Mr. Stovall considered it one of the most hair-brained trips he ever made, he brought back many interesting data. Many things have washed in from the Iowa which the “natives” livirg near Peacock spit have salvaged. Lumber covered with oil, and flour are two of the finds. Some people have carried away as much as a thousand pounds of flour. “Many white gulls flying about are streaked with brown oil,” Mr. Stovall said. “Some have so much gummed on their wings that they can’t spread their feathers to fly, so just walk along the beach wait ing for it to come off.” “The whole beach for some dis tance is a wavy line of matches from the wreck, which are being picked up and dried out. When run through your hair they are as us able as ever,” he commented. “A long bar reaches out from Peacock spit, and it is down around the end of this that the bodies have been Washing ashore. Every high tide finds people lining the shore because there is a re ward offered for each body, $500 for the captain, because it is be lieved he still has $8000 of the ship's money on his person.” The Iowa is only in about 36 feet of water, according to Mr. Stovall, and one can see waves roll over her decks at low tide. Classical Club To Hold Banquet The Classical club is giving a banquet Wednesday, January 29, at Seymour’s cafe in honor of new members elected this term.
