ASUO Stages First Big Matinee Dance Today at 3 Jitney Dance Is Scheduled At 3:30 Today Gus Meyer Will Play In Harvest Setting; Cider, Doughnuts tc Be Served An all-campus d ance with the rally spirit in full swing will be held on the third floor of Gerlinger to 5:30 this afternoon. Gus Meyers in the new AWS room from 3:30 band will play. Oregon State ho]ds Wednesday afternoon dances every week. This is an untried thing on the Oregon campus and its success depends largely upon the reception it re ceives from Oregon students today. The dance will be in the nature of a jitney with dances selling two for a nickel. All living organiza tions having been contacted, coeds and campus men are to arrive, get their partners, and start dancing. Informality will be the keynote with a get-acquainted purpose as a principal feature. Carrying on the idea of a Har vest dance, Kwama, sophomore women’s service honorary, has secured a fortune teller who will be located at one end of the dance floor and cast all predictions good or bad for Oregon or Oregon State students. Cider and doughnuts will be served for refreshments. Orides, independent women’s organization, have decorated the room complete ly in the harvest motive. Oregon Studes (Continued from page one) when some fifty OSC students were discovered lunching-. Oregon students were all for “going in after” the “Staters,” hut the management, backed by city police, terfered resolutely locking the doors. Cops Take Over For over an hour several hun dred students surged restlessly back and forth across Willamette, tying up traffic at. the intersec tion with Tenth. Feeling grew in tense as students kept demanding k- that the “Staters” come out. Pa trolmen took over partially, clear ing the street so cars could go through. Then pickets appeared, boldly displaying big signs proclaiming a boycott cn Seymour’s as “Unfair to Oregon.” Mass Mill-Racing Finally, after arbitration by Dean Earl and police the Oregon State fellow's reluctantly agreed to come out of Seymour’s. Oregon huskies lined up on both sides of the rear entrance to the cafe. The Oregon State students were then escorted by Oregon men out Tenth to Mill, over Eleventh, out Eleventh to Hilyard and down to the bridge wrhere a crowd of en thusiastic spectators watched the OSC boys “raced.” After the racing, the fellows from Corvallis, still dripping, were herded into cars and driven up on Skinner’s butte where they were given paint-a-plenty and made to y give the “O" a bath, this time, with yellow paint. Throughout the afternoon stu Galli-Curci Receives ; Reporter With Smile A little bit of a lady dressed In white, her jet black hair bobbing and her friendly face all smiles, tripped along quickly to her dressing room after one of her concerts Sunday afternoon. The lady was Galli-Curci. Immediately after she had dashed into her dressing room a horde of autograph seekers swarmed -the door. The door was closed and locked. Surely the crowd was out of luck Clair Johnson First Reporter A t Plan e Crash Clair Johnson, .graduate of the University of Oregon school of journalism last year, rose to fame in the newspaper world by being the first reporter on the scene of the recent crash of the Mainliner in the Utah moun tains which killed 19. Johnson, former managing ed itor of the Kmerald and editor of Old Oregon, is now employed on the Salt Lake Tribune. As well as being the first newspaper man on the scene of the tragedy, he led the fourth party to reach the remains of the plane and passen gers. “It looked like a great silver bird that had been riddled by hunters’ gunfire,’’ Johnson wrote of the plane in his news story. We saw the twisted shattered bodies of its passengers, mutil ated beyond recognition, lying where death had hurled them.” dents were chasing around town, eyes open for “more beavers.” The 'Battle of the O' By PAUL DEUTSCHMAN Invading Oregon State Beavers were completely humiliated yester day afternoon at the “battle of the O” on Skinners butte. The rest of the day’s activity was confined for the most part to guerilla skirmish es against small parties of the re treating army from Corvallis. The cement-constructed “O,” which had been defiled some time after the game Saturday by or ange paint of alleged Beaver ori gin, received a complete going over, with OSC “prisoners” furn ishing the labor and acting as paint brushes. The idea started slowly when Frank Kelly brought two Kooks and some paint up to the butte. De ciding that more help was needed, the aid of “Tiger” Payne, frosh class president, was secured, and soon carloads of dripping Staters, captured after the seige of Sey mour’s and punished by a millrac ing, appeared on the scene. Painting began with blushes, but at the suggestion of a blood thirsty Oregon girl, the UO men began to slide the Staters down the 50-foot sides of the letter. Be fore the job was done, the hap less Beavers were yellow from head to toe, some of them with clothes, some without, a few bruised or cut from sliding down onto the rocks below. Kind-hearted Webfoots took part of the paint-smeared men from Corvallis to the infirmary to get cleaned up. The idea boomeranged, however, when infirmary nurses turned over the scrubbing jobs to the Oregon students. Over a score of Beaver “cele brators” were conscripted by the Ducks for the painting job. Most of them had already hit the mill race. UPPERCLASSMEN . . .

But no. A student manager came to the door and said, “Madame Galli-Curci will sign autographs if you will go in there one at a time.” Impatient jostling and five people squirmed into the room, then another group and another. For a half hour Madame Galli Curci signed the autographs. It was hard work, very trying. She smiled and looked each person in the eye with genuine interest as she wrote her name. A little girl came shyly up to her. "Well, well. What a pretty little girl,” she told the tot in her quaint Italian accent. _ “Do you go to school?” The little girl ran away bashfully. “Madame Galli-Curci, you are so I friendly.” “Oh, yes. I love all people," she smiled with her blue eyes. “You have to love your audience to give them anything. You can't pose there. You must be sincere. The least personal you are the most personality you have.” She reminded one of an Italian signorina with a white dress comb stuck in her hair. A silver ribbon also graced her hair and emerald earrings flashed as she turned her head. Opera is coming back, she in formed. "It"is a form, of art that is typically European.” American operettas and musical comedies have their place, however, she said. "A good musical comedy is a pleas ure to hear.” "Paul Whiteman? What a mar velous orchestra to dance with.” Madame Galli-Curei liked to sing in the Igloo. “When I went out I was afraid'. But I could feel that my voice was carrying well. The bigger the hall the steadier the voice must be. You cannot sing in short quick gasps. In the big hall you have to keep your head and to keep your breath even to reach your audience.” “Oh, no! I never smoke. To bacco and alcohol is bad for the delicate throat,” the singer said. She said that a certain tobacco company had wanted her “to sign,” “but it is not good for you,” she said. Madame Galli-Curei likes to sing to college crowds. She likes her audience to be young and intelli gent. “College crowds are buoy ant and very intellectual. They knew what they want. They are young, educated, and enthusiastic.” Galli-Curci's accompanist is her husband. He had played a selec tion, “My Shadow,” which he had written himself. “I make it a pleasure to make him bow twice,” she teased him and then reached over and pulled his hair. “He is modest and hates to bow. But it makes me happy.” --Sidelights on The RIOT It was learned last night from the state police that although no extra officers would lie patrolling the road between here and Corval lis, any inass movement of stu dents would cause additional men to be sent out. Mo students would he stopped or turned back unless violating traffic ordinances, ac cording to those authorities. * * * The Beavers who were painting the “O” were good sports and seemed to enjoy their adventure as much as their captors. The Ore gon boys had so much fun making their victims slide down the slimy concrete that they used up three cans of paint on the sides of the "O” and didn't have any left with which to paint the bottom, until they finally went for more. An all night street dance was held in Corvallis Sunday night by the celebrating students. All girls' curfew laws were smashed by the coeds and at 7:30 the next morn ing the celebration started anew, with a mammoth parade through the campus exhorting the students to skip their classes that day. Another Webfoot appropriated a Beaver car and picked up four Staters with the pretense of tak ing them “just for a little ride." When the car stopped the OSC men found themselves on Skinner's butte, surrounded by Webfeet who i put them to work on the “O." i Quackenbush’s HARDWARE, GLASSWARE Today's j Teletype Talk By STAN HOBSON Staters Strip in Vain Dogs Take Beating Regrets Foul Words Champ Millracer (?) Female Packs Punch Because the latest major out burst of college rivalry—the Oregou-OSC feud is making headlines all over the country, and because we’re tired of read ing about the wars in China. Spain, and between the (TO and AFL, we’ll dedicate this column to the GREAT CIVIL WAR and our worthy colleagues, the Bea vers. “You guys don't play square," was the conclusion of one dripping, half-naked Oregon Stater as he pulled himself out of the mill race yesterday afternoon. While giggling, wide-eyed girls stood watching, he and his fellow Beavers had taken off coats, shirts, pants, etc., before being heaved over the side in a rapid-fire series of splashes. The unfair part of the deal came when the blood-thirsty Ducks tossed the vacated clothing over the side after them. “Lord." quoth one, “If I'd known that was going to happen, I could have saved myself a lot of embarrass ment." * * * There’ll be several pairs of sore feet hoofing it around the Oregon State campus this week. Oregon men, taking Beavers up Skinner’s butte to use as human paint brushes on the “O,” unintentionally led several of the bare-footed and scantily-clad fellows over a patch of broken glass, with dire results. Big Chan Berry, ace mill racer from the SPE house, deserves the title of champion Beaver-baptizer for his untiring efforts yesterday. Not content with merely helping others throw the lads into the drink time after time, he made at least one solo trip with a strug gling OSC rallyite. “We’ve got your duck,” a Stater howled derisively from the run ning board of a car at the corner of 11th and Alder. “Yes, and it’s your turn to GET ducked,” an Oregon man howled back, as the Stater was plucked from the auto mobile by the mob and started on his journey to the race. While the women didn’t partici pate very much in the struggle, at least one Oregon girl left her mark. When Oregon huskies stopped the car she and her boy friend were riding in and started to drag him out, she scored with a lusty right to the jaw. Coed Pledges Get Probation for Week Those Who Took Part In Recent Walk-Out Can Have No Dates All coed pledges who participat ed in the recent house walk-outs will be placed on social probation for the remainder of the week through Sunday, was the ruling announced by the discipline com mittee of heads of houses and the dean of women’s office at a meet ing last night. Participating pledges in the fol lowing houses will lose all social privileges for this week: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Chi Omega, and Delta Delta Delta. Walkouts have been discouraged on the University campus for tire j past two years, but this is the first ! time a definite stand has been, ‘ made against them. Officials hinted that more se rious action would be taken if walkouts continued. Future of fenders will probably be brought before the student discipline com mittee and have hours toward i graduation cancelled. Reasons for the official stand against the annual fall term af fairs arc parental complaints, dif ficulty for outsiders to realize ex actly what the walkouts are, and bad reputations earned through participation in them, the commit tee divulged. The meeting progressed slowly due to lengthy consideration of the question. No definite rule was passed, but a basis for future pol icy was formed. SAE Tennis Court Dance Diverts Riot Diverting the attention of hun dreds of Oregon and Oregon State i students milling about the campus j yesterday afternoon, the SAE boys ] proclaimed a student dance on their tennis court, entertaining ap proximately a thousand ralliers. The students converged from all parts of the campus on learning of ing more rioting and violenc. the dance, successfully sidetrack OSC student leaders attending the dance said rioting was not their J purpose in comnig to Oregon, that they wished to have an informal i .get-together with Oregon students j for an all-round good time. ' However, Oregon men seized the opportunity to hoist numerous Staters on top of a piano and make them .sing “Mighty Oregon.’’ Those who refused were immediately de livered to the waters of the mill >race. The dance lasted about three hours, the students finally leaving when dinner time approached. This smiling Stater is taking his loss of clothing good naturrdly. He was one of <ho score of Corvallis boys who helped redecorate the “O” on Skinner’s Butte. And another Beaver slid down the “O.” This rook is painting the huge cement letter with the seat ot hn, pant;,.

Concert Marks Close With the presentation of Mad ime Galli-Curci, the star attrac ion of the ASUO concert series, Sunday afternoon, the weekend was brought to its close. It is be lieved that each of the ASUO feat ures of the weekend were very suc cessfully financially. The Oregon Sigma Nus posted' a fl.50 reward for the “hide of Bob Donyers” Oregon State Sigma Nu who is on the OSC rally commit tee. A collection had been taken up at the siege of Seymour's in an attempt to bring the wanted Bea rer to a bath in the mill race but no was nowhere to be seen. The mouth of the manager of Seymour's dropped a mile when . h# Oregon lads set boycott signs up in front of his place. Three lours after the Staters had left the restaurant to go to their bath, i couple of the Beavers were found still locked in the men’s rest room. * * * Candid camera fans ran amuck. Dne devotee to the art of photog raphy, driver of a local dairy truck, almly sat and shot pictures of an DSC lad who had just run into his truck, as the Beaver argued with a uoliceman and answered questions >f an Emerald reporter. .1,"UI1IIIIIIHI, ..111!.. Emerald's (Continued from page one) there were several drownings, and University officials are at this mo ment putting on bathing suits and bathrobes in preparation of the dredging of various small rivers in the vicinity. Beavers Hide in Canteens The Beavers at this point be came panic stricken, and speeding toward town, they took up hiding in shops and restaurants. Excite ment was particularly bloody at Seymour’s where a detachment of OSC men were separated from the main army. They were protected from further assault by state po lice who locked the doors of the restaurant and refused to permit Oregon men to enter. Finally, however, they were evicted, and the offensive army was driven out of tovVn into the hills, where small guerilla warfare flourished for a few minutes, then developed into a concerted attack. O Is Repainted At this point the Oregon volun teers took advantage of the op portunity to repaint the Oregon O which in some mysterious fashion had suddenly become orange. Tak ing yellow paint, they carefully dipped each prisoner into the brew, and scooted him down the hillside where from time to time his “bot tom” bumped upon the earth leav ing the Oregon colors clearly im printed there. Townsmen Flee Small bands of frightened Eu gene townsmen have already fled the city, but the majority of the citizens are still here, prepared to leave at any moment.

After the concert scores of autograph seekers storm ed the Madame's dressing room. Her beautiful voice and magnetic personality held the large audience who called her back for six en cores. To climax her performance, she sang the Jewel Song from “Faust.” Pianist First When questioned about her self accompaniment on an encore, Galli Curci replied that she had first received public recognition for her playing. After receiving honors for that she turned to singing. Her husband, Homer Samue]s, now ac companies her when she sings. “Singing is a science,” Galli Curci said. “If people do not take music into their souls, an artist had better not sing.” Campus Calendar Tuesday Westminster house: 12 neon luncheon 25 cents, anyone may come who makes reservation.

Game Believed Cause Flash A report just received j seems to prove that a recent foot ball game which was played on the Oregon campus is at the bottom of the whole affair. At this game, OSC was victorious; unable to con trol themselves they over ran the city, gloating and screaming ob scene remarks about the defending army. Their victory was a short one. Now there are only the two bloody battlefields, silently soak ing up the gore. A moody silence pervades the campus, and though guards have been posted at ten foot intervals, it is not believed that more damage will occur. Heard over a national broadcast ing program last night was the announcement that Oregon State was not yet through celebrating their victory over Oregon. 1“ i ModeJ V'105 THE NEW Z&tMc&t, AUTOMATIC PHONOGRAPH-RADIO with Automatic Record Changer Easy HEAR a11 the I 1 erms world-supreme musicians on Victor Records whenever you wish . . . also Foreign and Domestic broadcasts; Police, Aviation and Amateur calls.
