Wellesley Girls
Form New Club,
'No Rata Data?
By ALYCE ROGERS
Wellesley boasts of two spinster
clubs. One is the “No Ratta
Datas,” with the bleeding heart as
their club flower and “Solitude" as
their theme song. The other club.
"Forgotten Women," honors the
bachelor button and the lyric “All
Alone.” Taking their cue from
Esquire, each prays “not for my
self, but dear heaven, please send
my sister a brother-in-law.”
Butler Loves Soldiers
“Propaganda can make anything
popular, sonny, even death,” said
General Smedley D. Butler to a
Daily Northwestern reporter last
week. He does not condemn any
ROTC or naval units. He claims
that they are marvelous builders of
body and characters.
“But if the boys feel belligerent,"
he says, “let them stand on the sea
shore and shake their fist at the
countries across the ocean. Let
them dare the Japs or the Huns to
come over and fight. We need have
no fear. They never will come.
And soldiers,” he exclaimed, “why
I love ’em, they're so darn simple!’

ASLO Educational, Athletics
Boards Have Given School
Successful Financial Year
Pallett Announces Profits in Sports,
Even Break in Activities; Complete
Report Open to Public July 1
By BILL PENGRA
A financial analysis of the athletic and educational activities
boards of the ASUO for the past year has shown the success of
the administration, according to statements made yesterday by
President Boyer a detailed report on their finances and activities,
Earl M. Pallett, executive secretary of the University,
Dr. Pallett, who serves as chairman of both boards under the
new setup, said, “The boards intend to prepare and file with
to he available to the public for
insnoction after July 1. We want
everyone to feel free to see this
report of the new system, and see
for themselves how well it has
worked out.”
$3500-$4000 Profit
The athletic board will end the
school year. July 1. with an oper
ating profit of from $3500 to $4000,
according to an early estimate.
With figures on tfre Emerald and
Oregana finances not completed
yet, it appears that the educational
activities board will finish even up,
after outstanding current bills have
been paid.
“That does not mean that the
athletic board will be out of debt,
but that it will have that much
left over for running expenses from
expenditures,” Dr. Pallett stated.
“Debts of this group will amount
to approximately $15,000 owed to
tlie alumni holding company, and
about $8,000 owed to the educa
tional activities board on July 1.
We shall have paid of approximate
ly $1000 to the alumni and $2500
to the educational activities board
debt by that time.”
Little Source of Revenue
The educational activities board
has no source of income other than
part of the ASUO funds and the
sale of advertising in the two
school publications. This board will
owe about $10,000 to the alumni
holding company after paying $800
before July 1.
‘‘The board has built a loyal and
efficient personnel, of student and
faculty members, who have worked
many hours to handle the various
problems and work connected with
ASUO activities,” Dr. Pallett said.
More Sales Needed
"The students should appreciate
the serious effort of the student
board members in attending the
many and long meetings. Too
much praise cannot be given every
member of the groups."
Welcome Group
Action Postponed
Further action on the proposed
welcoming committee has been
postponed indefinitely due to the
immense pressure on the faculty
at the present and the impossibil
ity, consequently, of getting to
gether and giving the matter ade
quate consideration, according to
word received from President C.
Valentine Boyer yesterday.
Dr. Boyer strongly favors the
formation of some such committee
as that proposed and hopes one
may be functioning on the campus
by next fall. He points out, how
ever, the advisability of thorough
ly discussing the proposal before
appointing any committee.
If the budget will a’low, he
would like to add a man to the
University personnel next fall, who
would act in the capacity of chair
man of the new committee. But
whether this can be done or not,
he assures action on the matter
and formation of some committee
to help “sell the University.”

Doris Russi Honored

Most disappointing: Richard

Hardest to work into an inter

Most pleasant: The beautiful

Most profitable: Jimmy Dor

Indifference to Activities
Is Greatest ASUO Problem,
Says Athletic’s Director
A lackadaisical attitude on the part of the University of Oregon
students toward student body activities is one of the first tilings to
overcome in remodeling Oregon into a truly great University, declared
Anse Cornell, director of ASUO athletics yesterday.
Cornell decried the fact that many of the students today are interest
ed solely in what they can get out of the University without giving
anything in return.
“When I was here 20 years ago, we had some real honest-to-good

ness Oregon spirit,” he declared.
Now, he said, there is always a
small group of students standing
contrary to anything the student
body undertakes.
Oregon Should He First
Cornell admits that a good deal
I of cooperation is lacking because of
financial difficulties, but also he
J says that there is a lack of cooper
| ation because of a snobbish atti
! lude which still persists on the
: part of a few students.
Cornell maintains that the old
j spirit should be re-developed
! among students, that the Univer
! sity comes first and the fraternity
| or sorority second, and that in or
der to sell the institution to the
world, it should first be completely
sold to the students. A fully con
vinced student is the best sales
man there is, in Cornell’s opinion.
Every student should take an
active part in extra-curricular ac
tivities, Anse says. “I really think
the extra-curricular activities are
fully one-half of the student’s edu
cation. The biggest asset I myself
ever got from the University were
the friendships I made when I was
a student,” he maintains.
Advertising Needed
Anse has developed a great deal
of interest in the drive on the part
of Oregon State college to enroll
4500 students next year. Figuring
that there are approximately 6,000

Previewing the 1937-38 concert

Metropolitan opera house, an inside
glance of the NBC studio in Radio
City, and a tour of Hollywood. ■
Opening the series October 18,
Ralph Sehomp, retiring activities
director, announces, will be the
Hall Johnson negro choir, of
“Green*Pastures" fame, who will
present a program of darky bal
lads, spirituals, and blues. Follow
ing on November 1, Amelita Galli
Curci, recognized by critics as one
of the greatest sopranos of this
age, will be presented in a concert
of opera direct from the Metro- 1
politan.
Outstanding among the lighter
events of the season will be Agna
Enters, styled “mystery girl,” who
puts on a performance containing
the comic, the classic, and the ar
tistic. Called by some a mime, Miss
Enters presents characters through
cleverly selected motions. Her most
famous portrayal is her burlesque
of the “strip-tease” in which she
silently emulates “Broadway’s con
tribution to art” in reverse.
Lanny Ross to Appear
Returning to the classical, the
ASUO will feature Nathan Mil

One of the most unusual dance

Rebuilt ASUO Increases
Student Participation
The new plan of administration of student activities, under which
student participation is greatly increased, will result in greater effi
ciency, it was pointed out by activity directors yesterday.
Increase in student members on the educational activities board will
largely eliminate the necessity for continuance of the four councils
attached to the board and will centralize the administration of such
activities as publications, forensics, music, lyceum, and student affairs
they .said.
Members of the recently elected
student executive committee will
be distributed on the athletic and
educational activities board, and on
both will have full voting power.
Further student representation will
be provided by addition of the edi
tor of the Emerald as a non-vot
ing member on the activities board.
Students who will have places on
the athletic board include Bernard
Hall, president of the Associated
Students; Noel Benson, first vice
president, and David Silver, secre
