A Big Pair of Shoes
IN 1936, George Root left the Oregon campus
with the gratifying knowledge that lie had
finished a job well-done. Subsequently the
Oregano which lie -edited was named the
best in the nation for that year, the All-Am
erican pacemaker.
On .June 1, after a year in the employ of a
Portland firm, Mr. Root, returns to the campus
to step into a far larger pair of shoes, lie will
inherit the position of educational activities
manager filled so capably this year by Ralph
Schomp.
When the educational activities board an
nounced the selection of Mr. Root it expressed
confidence, naturally, in the man of its choice.
Especially outstanding is the new manager's
record of work with publications. During the
last year he has gained further experience in
this field through his work with an engraving
and printing company.
* # m
IIERE are many other phases to the duties
of an activities manager. There are or
ganizational duties, downtown and campus
contacts to be made, problems of finances and
management. Not long ago the Emerald
asked that Mr. Schomp’s successor possess the
retiring manager's intimate knowledge of the
campus. The board's choice certainly does. In
addition, he has a pleasing personality and
has shown considerable ability as an organ
izer.
This year the ASl’O presented the great
est concert and athletic program of recent
years. Air. Root or anyone else will have a
difficult time matching it for talent and for
rounded entertainment value. Arrangements
are already well underway, however, for next
fall's card offerings, which promise to be very
attractive.
# $
JN addition to matching this year's line pro
gram, Mr. Root faces the ever more pressing
problem of selling student body cards. Good
results have been attained this year by otier
ing true values. The greater faith thus incul
cated as to the worth of the cards should help
with next year's sales.
It's a big job but the board's selection is
apparently a wise one. Mr. Root returns to
Oregon with many valuable contacts already
made and a host of friends to greet him. l!
ought to be another good year for the associat
ed students and the I'niversity.
Practical Etiquette
'TMJ.UKK s probably nothing quite so repul
sive lo visitors to a rumpus or a city as
an over-portion ol‘ tIn* glad liaml, key to the
city, ami “how do you like our little com
munity'' type of greeting.
Oregon eertaiuly doesn't deluge her guests
■with this sort of thing, but, as far as welcom
ing visitors goes, the University is guilty of a
serious breach of etiquette at the opposite
extreme. The restraint, the extreme reserve,
with which the University as a whole manages
to avoid extending the courtesy of the cuiupus
amounts to a sort of surly impoliteness.
First impressions are strong, if not lasting.
Jlore than once the University has been criti
cized by important guests because of the cool
and indifferent reception which was afforded
them.
* * *
HPHE importance ol' making .1 good impres
sion on visiting members of the state
board of higher education, state officials,
visiting speakers and professors, cannot be
over-emphasized,although greetings which are
insincere are llat and offensive. It is equally
bad to offend on the aide of coolness, however.
The obvious solution seems that Oregon needs
a greeting committee composed of faculty and
students.
Soon Walter E. Pearson will visit Oregon
for the first time in his official capacity as a
member of the state board of higher educa
tion. It will certainly be in the I'niversity’s
best interests to make a good impression on
Mr. Pearson, without over-stepping the boun
daries of etiquette by becoming too offensive.
# » *
'TMIE Oregon campus lias a personality. It
will not suffer in Mr. Pearson’s eyes if il
is brought to his attention. Many campus
visitors are too busy to search out Oregon’s
fine points and to go out of their way to make
the acquaintance of her st udents.
A standing committee of several students
and a few faculty members, with an elaslic
membership modifiable 1o fit the major inter
ests of 1he visitor, seems in order. Not only
is it needed from a standpoint of etiquette
but also from that of practicality.
There is such a thing as carrying reserve
loo far. Let’s don’t be surly and stand-offish.
It’s not nice, and it. doesn’t pay.
Congratulations, Phi Betes
^^MII) PAGEANTRY and ceremony, in im
pressive pomp and solemnity, several
honorary societies threaded their way through
the crowd of students, mothers and visitors
at the campus luncheon and tapped those
elected to their membership.
The awarding of these honors, deserved as
they were, was done with an eye towards the
dramatic, as a part of the larger drama
junior weekend.
In contrast to the fanfare of their pledg
ing, Phi lleta Kappa, national scholastic hon
orary, nu t quietly,wit limit ceremony, to name
fourteen members for the highest honor the
University can offer.
Basing its selections tirst on scholarship,
then on service and character, 1 his honorary
represents the finest and most important (de
ment in University achievement. It stands
for the fcoal and aim of education in its best
aspects. To be named to Phi Beta Kappa
means that a student has got from his college
life the real essence underlying the whole edu
cational process, for he has secured not only
wide academic knowledge, but has formed a
character and a wide-awake mind that will
make him the type of citizen vital to ideal
democratic government.
HERE ARE ONLY a few honors the Uni
versity can give that will mean anything
to the student after graduation. Most'’that
are received are pleasant—recognitions of col
lege achievements that mean much in the com
paratively small circle of college life. But
after commencement, when college days are
definitely over, the student realizes he must
make his way in a circle much larger, and
much more difficult to impress, than that
composed of his University friends.
Membership into Phi Beta Kappa, though
perhaps not as exciting as student body elec
tions, service honoraries, and the like, is an
honor that has much more endurance. For
after graduation, after school days are only
a pleasant haze in the memory, the recogni
tion embodied in it will carry on.
Congratulations, Phi Betes!

| Polyphonic* Choir
! To Sing‘Creation’
| On Friday, May 21
The story of the creation of the
earth from black chaos to a beauti
ful land inhabited with animals,
vegetated with fruits and flowers,
and ruled by man, will be sung.
May 21 in the music auditorium by
the Polyphonic choir, directed by
Paul Petri, professor of music.
The choir, whose concert will be
gin at 8 p. m., will sing Joseph
Haydn’s oratorio, “The Creation,”
which is a composition in three sec
tions.
The first part, a representation
of chaos, contains the famous
chorus, “The Heavens are Telling.”
This is one of the best of all
choruses and is ranked with the
celebrated Hallelujah chorus from
"The Messiah.”
The second part, depicting the
development of the earth and the
creation of man and woman, con
tains the famous bass solo called
"The Menagerie,” recounting how
all the animals of the earth were
brought into being. The finish de
picts songs in praise of the Being
who brought all creation to pass.

Sports clothes lire leading the season in all that is important.
Skirts, sweaters, and anklets for the campus, culottes for bi
cycling, Hawaiian hand-blocks for swimming, shorts for tennis,
and Oh! it goes on indefinitely. ^
If you are in the market
for culottes or shorts, you
will no doubt find just what
you want at WASHBURNE’S.
They have them in all colors,
all sizes, all designs—one or
two piece. FRANCES OL
SEN, GAMMA PHI, found
her culottes that she wears
on picnics, at WASH
BURNE’S. Her's are blue
with red, white, and yellow
flowers printed. Two-piece,
Peter Pan collar—she wears
white ghillies, blue anklets,
and blue ribbons in her hair.
CLARE IGOE, of recent
fame, has a good looking
two-piece, sport dress. Very
plain, but very smart. White
rick-rack edges the complete
dress—collar, sleeves, and all.
The print is the outstanding
bit of the outfit. White
daisies with blue and green
leaves on a black back
ground.
CARLENE SCOTT, AL
PHA PHI, wears a sport blue
and white polka dot dress on
picnics. CARLENE’S dress
has an open neck that is pip
ed with white rick-rack, this
is, also, carried out on the
collar and cuffs. The dress is
two piece, the skirt having
three pleats in front. The
blouse is fitted and has a
matching belt. She wears
white saddle oxfords with
anklets.
At the ALPHA GAMMA DELTA house,
ELINOR STEWART wears a blue shan
tung with wine contrasts. This contrast is
carried out in the belt, scarf, and in the
buttons that adorned the full length of the
dress. Tucked sleeves, gored skirt. She
wears whit Cuban sandals.
Recent picnics have all been very suc
cessful with the participants reverting back
to their childhood days. For instance, at
the DELTA UPSILON picnic, MARY
STATEN. ALPHA PHI. fell for G. T.
SMITH all over again. MARY showed the
spectators how it's done, by doing a swan
dive from a balcony into the waiting arms
of TONY AMATO and GERRY SMITH—
She wasn't satisfied with doing it once, but
with such grand inspirations, she repeated
her dive. Very graceful, MARY.
i
it Tables turned at the SIGMA CHI picnic, when MARGARET
► VAN METER threw ‘'PINKY" DONOVAN in the river. This
jt innocent little act settles one great question." Are women men’s
it equal ? Answer, "YES."
► BERNADINE BOWMAN, of the EM
► ERALD. claims that “WILLIE THE/
^ \\ HALE isn t what he's tossed up to be. '
