Island Disaster
By DARREL ELLIS
Old Friends
Alfred E. Smith “has the right
*to take a walk’,” but “he grows
resentful when his old associates
refuse to follow or accompany him
in his wanderings,” U. S. Senator
Joseph A. Robinson said last night
in an address prepared for a Dem
ocratic rally.
The Arkansas senator, running
mate of the “happy warrior” on
the Democratic ticket in 1928 and
political foe since, added that Smith
may rightfully take his walk “even
though the way may be devious
and lead among darkened paths
overhung with cypress boughs.“

On All Fronts
Madrid, “last ditch” of the loy
alist army in Spain, started hur
ried fortifications last night
against a possible storming of the
city by insurgent troops.
Rebel commanders, predicting
they would "take Madrid within 10
days,” planned expedition of the
“big push” because of the recent
Soviet threat of aid to the Madrid
government.

Alsace - Lorraine saw enforced
peace yesterday as government
guards stood ready to quiet any
renewal of Communist - Rightist
hostilities.
Col. Francois de La Roque, lead
er of the party opponents declared
to be Fascist, said yesterday the
popular front government “has
given signs of breaking up” and
told followers “the moment has
come for members of the French
Social party to go into action.”
Return to Germany of her lost
colonies is the only way in which
Europe may avert an internation
al trade war, Rudolph Hess, Nazi
minister without portfolio, declared
yesterday.
Because Germany is forced to
import so many raw materials for
rearmament, there is no money
left for importation of foodstuffs,
Hess asserted.

Girls’ 10 Commandments
Tell Men What Not to Do
(Editor’s note: Last week Felker Morris surveyed campus women
and warned them to survey themselves. Today she turns the all
seeing eye on Oregon men through the media of “the campus’ most
ravishing heart-throbs” and delivers their ultimatum.)
A lass may have a sweet temper and a docile disposition, but authori
ties contend that there are limits to the good nature of even the most
beaming and benevolent of beauties. A careful survey and meticulous
research into the problem, plus consultation with some of the campus’
most ravishing heart-throbs, brings forth the following requirements
of what the male should NOT do
if he wishes to keep that dentifrice
smile forever shining on the visage
of his date.
The girls utter the ultimatum!!!
1. He shalt not apologize for ev
ery mistake no matter whose fault
it is.
2. He shalt not grip me in an
iron vise and propel me around
the dance floor.
3. He shalt not flirt with every
blonde he sees.
4. He shalt not be boisterous or
conspicuous.
5. He shalt not follow the “step,
step, together routine tor hall
room success entirely.
6. He shalt not gaze vaguely off
into the atmosphere as though to
tally oblivious to my presence.
7. He shalt not practice fancy
steps which' he is just learning in
the middle of the floor.
8. ile shalt not stumble, fumble,
or fall.
9. He shalt not sing the lyric two
or three notes off key.
10. He shalt not follow his own
original time instead of the or
chestra’s.
So, gentlemen, if you are offend
ers, take heed!!

Tri-Delta Girls
To Popularize
Polo at Oregon
“Horses, horses, crazy over hors
es—and polo,” are the words which
explain the fever that has sent the
Tri-Delta girls wildly swinging
mallets from fire-escapes and
fences. Polo, the game of “the
400,” has rapidly spread through
California as a popular sport for
women, and the following girls in
tend to bring it to Oregon: Jean
Ackerson, Ruth Wollenberg, Car
olyn Dudley, Marolyn Dudley, Au
drey Colcok, Beverly Simpson, and
Alice Weymouth.
The Dudley girls, who have had
exparience in playing polo last
summer for the California State
governor’s trophy, will instruct the
group.
At the first lesson, last Saturday,
Carolyn Dudley was elected the
temporary president and the silver,
gold, and blue were the colors
chosen to represent the teams. The
patron saint, Poseidon, was select
ed as the name of these polo play
ers.
With experience, these girls in
tend to pdpularize this “rich man’s”
sport among the other sororities on
this campus as well as at other
colleges.
These polo enthusiasts expect to
get some tournament games with
the Pacific Coast Women’s Polo
association, located in California,
in the early spring.
A peasant in one of those south
of Europe countries is reported to
have been operated for removal of
a fork he swallowed while eating,

Mass Movement Appeal
To Students Is Subject
Of Speaker’s Address
At 11 o’Clock
By RITA WRIGHT
The appeal of mass movements
to students and what may be set
up as a defense against it will be
the subject of Dr. W. A. Visser ’T
Hooft at an assembly in Gerlinger
at 11:00 this morning.
As an eminent theologian, Dr.
’T Hooft’s contention is that mass
movements have a tremendous
magnetic appeal on students and
that they are taking the initiative
and the result is a world wide
change.
Youth Is Active
In Fascist countries, in commun
istic countries, and in countries
with similar forms of government,
youth is the active member who is
bringing about the change in the
social and economic structure of
the world. Students in democratic
countries, such as our own, are on
lookers who make no effort to
combat the maliciousness of pro
paganda that is being spread, Dr.
'T Hooft contends.
Upon his arrival in Eugene, Dr.
’T Hooft spoke to the Student
Christian council on their job as a
student Christian group. He stres
sed the idea of study groups as a
basis for breaching the conflict be
tween science and religion, and
suggested an attempt be made to
assemble students on different
aspects of thought.

Song for Use
As Alma Mater
It’s “Heaven Help the Foes

all in fun, when Program Direc

with the loan of “Victory for

Also, if no musicians can be

Herbert enclosed a copy of

Coeds’ Corns, Boys’
Bunions Bark at Derby
Wild-eyed boys rushed from house to house, and gorgeous girls
hopped industriously as sweating .musicians ground out rhythm in the
annual open house "bunion derby” last Saturday night.
Nineteen women’s living organizations threw open their doors at
7 o’clock and fore five hours hosts of young men trooped in and out of
each house in the traditional get-acquainted party.
It was a wild scramble for all
the good-looking babes on the cam
pus. Feet? They were everywhere,
thrice their normal size, and corns
grew on every yard.
The Betas’ Old Faithful found
the pace set by the young bloods
too fast for her. At the height of
the evening this old Franklin tour
ing car broke her axle on the Chi
O’s driveway, and when the girls
peered out into the dewy dawn
upon awakening the next morning
about noon she was still there, "a
great big thing that wouldn’t run.”
All sorts of methods were used
to announce the arrival of the
boys. Bells, whistles, songs, or
just plain noise stamped each
group.
The ATO’s ate up all the peanut
butter at the Pi Phi house.
Even Bruno, the Betas’ huge St.
Bernard bounced along to join in
the fun. A grasshopper danced a
jig on the Orides floor, and out of
the Alpha Gam piano jumped a
mouse.
Important people were there,
There were Clark Gable, Jean Har
low, and a half dozen A1 Smiths.
Even Anthony Adverse prowled
around giving them the once over
A green Pi Kap wandering about
didn’t know what house he had
pledged. One young man took great
pleasure in frightening the girls
He had a false tooth which he
dropped in the midst of a broad
grin.
A classy sorority girl was sur
prised to find that the dormitory
boys were real people, too.
