Council Clears Up Rush Regulations Moot Points in Rush Week Rules Settled by Heads OF Fraternities Cleaving up questions as to of ficial interpretation of the new constitution was the main business of tire interfraternity council at the first meeting of the year last night. It was decided that all rushees must get their official date cards from the office in 110 Johnson by 5 p. m. today or they will be liable to penalty, unless they can clear them.fives for their tardiness with the dean of men’s office. Another important decision was that all men who intend to pledge, whether on Saturday or later, must pay their $1 fee before they do so. This excludes pledges of last year, however. I'hese men may repledge at their name house with no extra fee, hut, should they wish to change their affiliation, they must pay ij» 1 for an official date card the same as any new rushee. In r egard to breaking of dates the co uncil decided that the rushee himself must definitely be present in tlie office in 110 Johnson, but that Cne house with which he wishes* to break the date may waive its rights over the telephone when culled by the officials at the office, if it wishes. A Urtlt.' IIlU-'l Uf IU the i-jTi’ice, it was agreed. Also it wa. ■ ntnle clear that at the office would be k ,>pt an official card, and then <t copy exactly like it would be kep>t on file for the members of the e«->rincil to obtain data from. Saturday noon was the absolute deadline for dates, instead of from 31 until 2, as the date cards might lead one to believe. From that time on Siaturday until the arrival of the new pledges at the hom es of their choice it was agreed that fraternity :en would stay off 13th stieet between Kincaid and Uui ver it. Regriirding missing men, the council derided that any organiza tion not finding a man at the stait of ita recorded date should let the office know immediately. Tom Tongue, in charge of ad ministering the rushing‘dHilys. led the ilissiussion. Dean Earl and Dean Onttinnk gave short talks, Eu Reames, president of the council, presided.

Goes to Boston Exhibits Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, director of Oregon’s Museum of Art, who left Tuesday with Mabel Blockers Garner fer Boston to view the Japanese art exhibits. They will hear Dr. Jiro flarada, who was on the Oregon campus last year, deliver a series of lectures. They will return later in the full. Europe Firsthand By Howard Kessler “Look here." Zimmy fished a worn clipping from his pocket book “See what it says.” It was one of Ripley’s “Believe It or Nets,” and underneath a drawing of the man who sat beside me in the Spanish night club was the explanation: “The world’s endurance record for swimming is held by Charles Zimmy, th>‘ ‘legless wonder,’ who swam for 100 hours in a Honolulu tank, in July, 1931.” Well, it was true. Zimmy was truncated, but from the wain*, up he was a genius. His compact, wedge-shaped head, with its Zulu's hair sticking up stiffly from his broad forehead, was swarm ing with stratagems to entice customers to his swimming exhibi tion, and he had the experience of 21 years as a public attraction throughout the world. From Singapore to St. Louis he had demon strated his unique swimming stunts, and now in the sleepy.Anda lusian city of Malaga he was ready to do it again. “You know they just passed a law against begging in Malaga,” he said, fanning his stogie in front of my face. “That throws hundreds of hard-working beggars out of a job, see? So I'm getting the approval of the mayor for a charity performance. I give one third of the gate to the beggars, and of course I make a little myself. That charity stuff sure packs ’em in. ’Specially in Japan.” We watched a party of slumming Americans just off a Medi terranean cruising boat, step gingerly into the room, led by an oily-voiced guide. It was a smoke-filled dive, and the show put on by Estrellita Lopez and her girls would satisfy the most sophisti cated Yankee. 1 “Watch that big dame with the bald-headed husband in tow when Kstrellita goes into her act," said Zimmy, grinning. In New York burlesque there is a limit. In a Spanish stage show there is none. This beauteous senorita had no inhibitions whatsoever. Mrs. Jones of Podunk gasped and cried in her bug-eyed hubby’s car. “Don’t you dare lock, John! Come on, let’s leave this place!" And poor Mr. Jones was dragged out, protesting in vain. Spanish entertainment is cheap in price but not in quality. For one peseta, 15 cents, the customer at the Salon Royal received one glass of coffee, three hours of puleliitrude, and two hours of tree dancing, 1 he big i >om was pleasantly warm, humming with con versation and the ovations given the actresses by the good-humored crowd were frequent and enthusiastic. super-veueuc uei am- involo," as the handbills called her, had to return for half a dozen curtain calls, and "la mas joven y i oputuda estrella frivola, as her sister was plugged, almost caused the house to be torn down when she refused to come back. "1 don't get them kind of receptions," laughed Zimmy. "But I gt t along. I got a wife and two kids back in Long Beach, and see ’em maybe two weeks a year.” Charles Zimmy was born in Russia, but grew up in Chicago as a tough city hoy until lie stepped the wrong way one day and was run over by a street car. Life must have looked pretty black to the ten-year-old kid with no legs. One day he saw Annette Kellerman’s act, and his life work was decided. Since then he has crossed the United States, driving his own automobile, lti times, and circled the globe twice. Smo, 1 get a lotta people pitying me," shrugged Zimmy, "but not for long. Like out in Dallas, Texas, one day, l gets off a street car. You know, lotsa people think I’ve fallen when they see me jump off. "So this big cop conies hot-footing- it ever, He sees I ain’t got no leg stands a minute lookin’ at me in pity, and says, ‘I’d rather Ole than 1)0 like that.' Well. 1 don't blow up, 1 just asks him over to u stand for a cupa coffee. "When we re both sittin’ down, T says to him, ‘Brother, let's Jigger tliis thing out. You say you'd rather die than be like me Well. I got a family, plenty of money, I've been around the world! 1 havi a lot ot tun and Ini happy. All you can do is stand out in the middle of a street and tell mules which way to go. Now which is better: to be dead from the waist down, like me, or to be dead from the neck up, like you?'” ... j, lb b UNFINISHED FURNITURE DRAPERIES — UPHOLSTERING APPLEGATE FURNITURE CO.

Allen of the school of journalism returned to the cam pus yesterday after a five-months motor tour through Germany, ac companied by Mrs. Allen and son, Bill. The Allens arrived in New York from Hamburg a week ago Friday and drove across the continent at ! the rate of 400 miles a day to reach Eugene for the opening of the University. In Germany Dean Allen made a study of city planning, working under the Oberlaender trust of the Carl Schurz foundation. Informal, ; conversational reports of his inves tigations were published weekly in Oregon newspapers where they ' have attracted much attention. Dean Allen regretted that in his travels this summer he was unable to visit Sweden, a country whose social progress has won his deep interest. Denmark, h^ declared, is a very attractive and well-ordered country, but even the Danes refer with admiration to the advance ment of their near-of-kin, the Swedes. UO's Independent Students Active Independent students at the Uni versity have their own organiza tions for both the coeds and the men students, the Orides and the Yeomen. Both groups are unusually ac tive in general campus affairs and are always reckoned powers in politics and each year they achieve recognition for winning honors from organized sororities, fratern ities, and halls. "Fall term the respective groups hold a banquet and join afterwards for a dance. Semi-formal dances are held each term by the organi zation, and informal evening af fairs are sponsored several times each month.

With the Pen That Students IS ate Highest BY ACTUAL VOTE Invented by a College Frofessor to Siring You Higher tirades A college professor noticed that poor grades are often due not to brains running low but to pens run ning dry! So he worked out an utterly differ ent and basically better pen principle —and Geo. S. Parker engineered it to perfection. Thus came the revolutionary Parker sacless Vacumatic that has super seded every old-style pen—both sac type and sacless. Recently the student editors of 30 college papers asked 4,699 of their readers, "which make of pen do you own? W hich pen do you prefer?” To both questions more students answered "Parker,” than any other two makes of pens COMBINED! One reason is that the Vacumatic ink supply is EVER-S 1SIBLE, the ENTIRE length of the barrel. It isn't merely last-drop visibility—■ doesn't merely show when your pen is empty.
