ASUO Launches Activity Card Sale
Frosh Class Will Be
Over 1200 Strong;
3000 Total Estimate
3 Days of Registration Begin Thursday
At McArthur Court for All Students;
Classes Start Monday at 8 a. m.
By BILL PENGRA
A pre-registration estimate made yesterday places the 1937
enrollment far above previous records set in 1930-31, according
to Clifford L. Constance, assistant registrar. Of the large fall
term registration of over 3,000 for all classes, more than 1200
freshmen are expected, he computed.
Registration for all students will
be on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of this week in the Igloo.
Classes will begin Monday. Due to
the large number of first year
students, spending the week in
preliminary exams and orientation,
registration is two days later in
the week than last year, but will
last for the three days.
Meanwhile, freshmen will have
the benefit of the entire faculty
advisory service in selecting
courses and getting settled in the
school. A new feature this year is
that the lower division advisors
will be stationed at the court dur
ing registration period.
Redbooks Out Wednesday
Registration material to old stu
dents will be issued beginning
Wednesday from the registrar’s of
fice in Johnson hall. Graduate stu
dents will receive theirs next Mon
day. New undergraduates (never
registered here before) will get
material at the last appointment
of their Freshman Week program,
beginning Thursday at the court.
The new set-up of having the
lower division advisors located at
the south end of the Igloo floor,
was brought about by the per
sistent requests of O. F. Stafford,
dean of lower divisions. They will
meet new students by appoint
ments and returning sophomores as
they come, from Thursday till
Saturday noon. Concurrently the
other registration activities of fil
ing class cards with department
clerks, checking with housing au
thorities, and paying assessments
and fees, will be carried on.
University officials hope to have
placement and physical exams
completed for first year students
• by Wednesday night, and give over
the advisors time Wednesday to
conferences with old students (not
to be held in McArthur yet).
Weekend Plans Made
Social life of the campus de
signed to relieve the tension of
rush week will be in swing this
afternoon with a pep rally of Ore
gon songs and yells. A Friday
afternoon open house at Westmin
ster house and a “mixer” dance
and party sponsored by the Yeo
men and Phi Theta Upsilon Fri
day night, will start off the first
campus weekend.
Students planning on pledging a
fraternity or sorority will have
the first part of the week to look
the groups over during the official
rushing season. Following the plac
ing of preference choices of houses
at McArthur Court, Saturday at
one o'clock, pledges will be moved
into their new homes.

Houses Bulge
As Rush Week
Hits Full Stride
Interfraternity Council
Is Back-Seat Driver as
Making and Breaking
Of Dates at Peak
The fall rush season, in full
swing until Saturday noon, is run
ning smoothly under the direction
of the interfraternity council
•‘clearing-house," council president
Ed Reames announced yesterday.
With few minor changes in the
• regulations governing rush wee.k,
official date-card selling and
changing reached its peak before
noon Tuesday, the deadline for sale
of cards. All late applicants for
cards will have to be cleared
through the office of the dean of
men, Reames stated.
Houses Can Break Dates
One unofficial rule of the coun
cil, continued over from last fall,
provides that fraternities may at
any time during the week submit
to the council a list of men with
whom they do not desire to keep
their dates, after which the of
fice will make an effort to get in
touch with the rushees and break
the dates.
Despite the belief of several
council members that no house
would chance causing ill feeling in
that way, heads of that group be
gan to receive requests Tuesday
morning to break further dates
for several houses. An extra phone
was installed in the council of
fice in the afternoon to be kept
busy breaking unwanted dates.
A new feature of the week this
year is the sheet of illegal rush
ing methods given out with each
official date card, and warning of
the possibility of forfeiting the
right to pledge, for rule violations.

Freshmen Caught in First Swirl of Rush Week Activities by Emerald Photographer
Home for freshman coeds was the Eugene hotel where Panhellenic representatives gave out dope or
dates and registered the “fresh young things” for the week-long campaign of luncheons, dinners, and
veiled sales talks. Doris Wulzen, right, answers questions for a group of rushees. Between engage
ments, action shifted to enrollment problems. Health exams, pictures, quizzes filled the day.
Fraternity men pushed “prospects” through the inter-fraternity council registration mill in Johnson
hall. In the picture above, the first of Oregon Daily Emerald photos to be featured in the paper this
year, are Martha and Alice Stewart, issuing cards, and, left to right, Jack Glesey and Ralph Gafferty,
SAE rushee guides; three freshmen, Myron Miller, Astoria; Jim Davey, Portland, and Maurice Hunter,
son of Oregon chancellor, Eugene.
Kreaking precedent witn ans
sembiy before the completion of
registration", President Hall has

this afternoon in the music audi

Greek and Latin
Literature Will
Be'Streamlined5
Greek and Latin literature,
studies that educators here be
lieve have been gathering dust
on the shelves long enough, will
be “humanized" even “stream
lined” if necessary at the Uni
versity of Oregon this year, it
was announced today by Dr. C.
Valentine Boyer, who besides be
ing president of the institution,
is head of the department of
classics.
Students will be enticed into
the courses by promises that
Plato, Homer and other “old
timers” will be described as real
human beings, and that the most
interesting phases of Greek and
Latin litrature will be brought
out. The promises can be kept,
Dr. Boyer declares, because the
j university has added as professor
in this department one of the
most brilliant young scholars in
this field, Dr. Frederick M.
Combellack, recently with the
University of California.
Study of the languages as
such will not be involved, al
though it is the hope that asso
ciation with the literature
| courses presented in a new and
modern method will lead to a
revived interest in both Greek
and Latin, educators here state.
