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.

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

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?'”

Journalism Dean
Back From Study
Of Nazi's Planning
Dean Eric VV. 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.
Headquarters for both the Orides
and the Yeomen are in Gerlinger
hall.
Irma Huston is president of the
Orides and Irwin Elder will head
the Yeomen for the coming year.

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. It shows days ahead W HEN
