* Mg O J. W»U From Where I SIT nunii'iiiiiiiiiim'iiiiiiiimii;iiiiiiiii!iimiiiiiiiii<nii!i!: nimiiiiiiiiiiii By CLARK IGOE Have you ever stopped to Wonder where the girls are who were the campus belles of last year? Their vision more or less dimmed by the sight of the new er freshmen, and the still-fair ly-new sophs, they subside into comfortable obscurity, accept pins, get married, drop out of school —and are heard from no more. A review of some of the more glamorous names of last year shows comparatively few still in active competition. Gamin-like Toni Lucas, Gam ma Phi attraction, did not re turn to school this year. Still a Phi Delt stronghold are the Gamma Phis, with four of the gals wearing Phi Delt pins— namely Doris Drager, Franny Johnston, Mary Frances Hen derson, and piquant Margaret Carlton. Cornish is left of the “old guard”—with other Alpha l’hi charmers graduated, married, or generally unaccounted for. Svelte Betty Lou Brake, wears the pin of Jim Wells—removing another potential threat from the field. Another one is stag ing a comeback, it appears, as Peggy Sanford has relinquished a Beta pin, and is now carrying on a “three-ring circus,” with ATO Bob Moffett the main at traction. Laddie Green and Jerry Ches Laddie G r e en and Jerry Chessman have not returned to school, removing two of the most potent attractions at the Theta lodgings. Lorraine Bar ker and Dale Fisher have been seen together frequently, though it was rumored for a time that the torch of love was wavering. Good and Good (Dorothy and Louise) acting in appropriate concerted action, have returned pins to Dave Hamley and Pete Mitchell. Baba McCall, of the Boston drawl, will marry Fred Colvig, former editor of the Emerald, next summer. Betty Jane Casey is wearing the pin of Bob Beard, retiring her more or less from the lime light. Marcia Steinhauser, "Miss Oregon” of last year, quietly pursues a relatively un publicized way. It is rumored that freshman Anne Waha may be supplanting June Brown in popularity this year as the "flash" of the Kappas. * * * Molly "Daisy Mae’’ White again wears the pin of Laddie "Abijah Gooch” Gale, after an uncertain and turbulent time, and petite Jane Weston Is be piniied of Al Davis. Some of the charming l‘i Phis who did not return this year are Alice Pauling, June Ititter, and the lovely Evelyn Rosander. Bert Myers, ATO, is left disconsolate because Felker Morris this year attends Stanford—not Oregon. Still going strong, their pop ularity unabated, are Chi Os Rhoda Armstrong and Virginia Regan. Betty Hamilton, cute freshman, has already annexed the affections of Jim Wilkin son, handsome graduate stu dent from Washington. Of the Tri Delta, who can ever take the place of the much photographed Jean Stevenson? Wo notice that Charlottee Olitt, dark-haired Sigma Kappa, isn't back this year. "Happy" Battleaon, personal ity girl of the Alpha Os, is per manently occupied, of course, with “Tup" Tupling. Hod-haired Signe Rasmussen is back this year, and seems to have caught the fancy of rosy-cheeked Wer ner Asendorf. Much-bepinned Edith Kron man is not in school this year but wears a Beta pin, as does also Helen Larson. A recent bit of news has it that Martha Stewart no longer wears the Theta Chi pin of Bill Pease, and w ill perhaps seek her love life elsewhere. Bruce Mc Intosh, I am informed, has planted his pin on Joella Mayer, ail Oregon State lass—though he would keep thi' news from the gals at Oregon.

Rhodes appointments lfave through evolu tion come to he considered an outstanding academic honor. Although they are now re garded as a reward for cultural achievement and as presenting the highest type of student 1 lie opportunity to study in Oxford’s hallowed halls, the ideal of an imperialistic world peace motivated Cecil Rhodes, the founder of the scholarships. At twenty-four, Cecil Rhodes pledged his entire fortune to a secret, society he had conceived. The plan was to spread the Bri tish influence over the entire globe. South Africa and South America were to be English. The United States was to he rejoined to the British empire and an Anglo-Saxon domin ance of the world scene was to make war impossible. Conquest alone was not Rhodes’ purpose, although lie was England’s greatest imperial ist, of the last century. This man lorded over swash-buckling fortune hunters in Johannes burg and reconquered South Africa for En gland hut his plan for a world dominion was based on a humanistic, not materialistic, end. All hoii^li Rhodes died in the prime of life, his vast fortunes were dedieated to the spreading of British vulture by educating at Oxford the most intelligent of the young colonials. Tutored in the English tradition, these exceptional students were to return to their homes, thus disseminating and freshen ing the English culture in the colonies. # * # j^HODES expected these specially trained young men to become leaders. Through the control they exercised, non-English fac tions were to be encircled and “captured” by the force of English intellectual leader ship. From this a British world dominion was to rise. That dominance of any one nation, British or otherwise, would bring world peace does not seem reasonable even if it were possible. But although Rhodes’ plan for peace has not developed through the scholarships, the end he had in mind has been served. 11 is fortune has promoted international understanding by giving the most brilliant of the world’s youth an opportunity to study and to exchange ideas. This is the first step in any peace program. At the same time advancement of world culture has been stimu lated. —L.T. How to Seat a Football Crowd—or—Page Emily Post ^^IjMOST ii week before the Oregon-Oregon State college homecoming game, sell out, signs were out for grandstand seats. Those who planned the seating for the huge erowd (for a Eugene game) of 20,000 wore I’aeed with the problem of placing as many persons as possible in the best seats. Since both teams profit from the receipts of the game, the arrangements were prob ably made by athletic managers Percy Looey and Anse Cornell, acting in conjunction. No matter who made them, a great number of non-student ticket purchasers got choice grandstand seats in the west stands and a large body of OKC rooters were forced to be content with end-zone seats. This arrangement no doubt increased much needl'd receipt totals. Hut the football game, after all. was played primarily for the benefit of the students. The Beavers were our guests. They should have had seats at least as good as those the Oregon rooting sectoin occupied. They should have been given the best in the house. .lust iis Oregon's team is the ASITO team, the Heaver eleven represents A .SOSO. Stu dent Inal,y members at the college buy tickets and support the program as at whole. To them, the reduction they received Saturday as student body ticket holders was one of the ‘'‘plumbs" which the card offered. The scats their membership got them were cer tainly not very satisfactory, however. # * # TlfHEN seating arrangements are made for the game two years hence, the space for student sections should be the first allot ted. The student corporations owe this con sideration to their members. The outside pur chasers who want the choice spots on the 50 yard line should not be considered until every student spectator has been placed. Aside from this direct obligation, the AKUO should not overlook the fact, that it is the host. Putting OSC in the end zone is just about as proper as asking some state or national dignitary to visit us and then ask ing him to sleep on the floor. In the Mail JUST A PLEA To the Editor: We were in the party that was thrown in the mtllrace on the above date. They took our watches, etc., before we were thrown in. One fellow took my billfold, glasses, and fountain pen, which I got back. Another fellow took my watch, and that was the last I saw of him. It was a Waltham watch in a gold case with a brown leather strap. On the back is engraved, Lee Arrington Wells, Jr., May 29, 193i>. Some negro took care of my sweater and coat and 1 did not get them back either. 1 think he was hunting for me, but didn't find me. The sweater is blue, with buttons up the front and has a Delta Tau Delta pledge pin in one button-hole. The coat was a black jacket with zipper up the front. At tlie same time a gold Ham ilton wristwatch with a gold wrist band was lost during the excitement. It was rectangular in shape and has a heavy rock crystal. There were only four figures on the face. The figures were in black. This watch be long to Bill Henderson, Delta Tau Delta, Corvallis, Oregon. We would appreciate any thing you can do toward return ing these articles. We realize that the fellows had every pro vocation for what they did, and we bear no resentment as we would probably have done the same thing. However, we do think that every effort should be made to recover and return these valuables. Thanking you for anything that you can do, I remain, LEE A. WELLS, Jr. (Editor’s note: Anyone know ing the whereabouts of these ar ticles should communicate with Wells at Delta Tau Delta, Ore gon State, or inform the secre tary at the educational activities building here. Dunking a Beaver may be fun. Keeping his belongings, which are plainly marked in these cases, is stealing.) SIDE SHOW Edited by .... Bill Cuiuniings, Campus Paul Deutschmann, National Campus It looks like the swan song for another good old Oregon tradition the walkout at least as far as sorority pledge classes are concerned. Like so many other quaint, harmless, and long - to - be - re membered customs which make the vine-clad Oregon campus live in memory long after class rooms, professors, and grade point averages are forgotten, the walkout seems to be doomed to the death blow of discipline. The pledge classes of six sor orities—Alpha Chi Omega, Al pha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi. Alpha Camilla Delta, Chi Omega, amt Delta Delta Delta — have been placed on probation because they went on walkouts. The participating pledges have been punished by these rules of the discipline committee: No dates this weekend, no shows, no ex change desserts, no eating in campus food shops, no walking or talking with boys between classes, no visits or shopping downtown, and no luncheou guests. It seems that the Uni versity diseipllnurians would not only abolish a harmless tradi tion. they would kindergarten i/.e the campus. * * * The main objection, as stated by the discipline committee, is that the pledges went out of the city limits, but what harm was there in that when they were back in their houses by 10:30 p.m.? Walkouts have been discour aged on the University campus for two years, but this is the Pollock's FOLLY Ey EOE POLLOCK WHILE THE CAMPUS riot ed and stocked the thill-race with Eeavers, as S.S.S. re marked, a voice beautiful as a cooing dove wafted its way into Eugene and wafted out again to blurp over the high Cascades and back to Hollywood. No less a personage than ro tund Bing Crosby — n e w I y I’ll.I).'d by publicity-loving Gon zaga—came into town on the Shasta, paused—all, but there is the story. For he was met at the station by Miry Jane Ma honey, whose Paw is ex-Mayor Mahoney of K. Falls. It seems back in the old days when our Bing was nothing but an al leged student at Gonzaga, Paw Mahoney grew to know him. So naturally, when Holly wood’s prize something-or-oth er drifted into town, Mary Jane was down to meet him. . . the only trouble was, Mar y Jane complained, that Bu-Bu-Bing was overweight. Probably Bing needs a foundation garment. Connie Boswell, brains of the Boswells, was aboard also, ru mor hath. Personally I prefer even a mediocre riot to conver sation wftli either of the above mentioned “celebrities.” ORCHIDS, carefully ice-boxed for many an issue, go forth with our blessing to Dick Wil liams and Jim Hill of the SPEs . . . Starting out where the Staters left off, they finished the painting of the top and bot tom of the “O” on Spencer’s Butte . . .Our congratulations, also, to the lads for their per sistence . . . for days, Deutsch inann, the usually reliable as sistant ed, tells us, they have sought to have their exploit rec ognized in type. And here it is . . . I bet it will be fun to send it home to the folks just to show how fame has kissed them. But, anyway, I'm glad they painted the ‘O.’ NOTHING LIKE stooging for a brother: Russ Iseli still has his brass hanging on his boson); it very definitely is NOT plant ed in the Pi Phi house . . . speaking of that tong, can somebody tell me if they are still the champs when it comes to ripping the pins off the lads? For a while last year the sisters were considering installing a vault to keep the pretties in at night. first time a definite stand has been made against them. Fur thermore, more drastic action has been promised by the discip line committee if walkouts con tinue. So it looks as though an other deeply imbedded Oregon tradition is about to be pulled up by the roots. Either the 1938 Oregana is not going to have class sections, or Manager Howard Overbaek is going to have to raise money through different channels; the four class presidents issued a flat refusal yesterday to pay the $75 tax for their pages in the new natural color yearbook. “I have nothing to say,” comment ed Overbaek last night, indicat ing that he could sit tight us long as the class proxies could. National Three cheers for Herbert Hoover! And we say this all in good faith, for if any Republi can who has made speeches in the last six years deserves com mendation, Hoover certainly does by virtue of his speech in Boston the other day. Referring to the “anti-FDR” policy which his colleagues have held to in the past sev eral campaigns, the ex-chief ele phant (who was thought by everyone to be getting white) said: “If the Republican party lias not learned the lesson that it must produce principles and program besides being against l and joyriding on mistakes it has not read history.” To be sure, the ex-president’s noble speech does not mean that the Republican party has sud denly sprung- from its mouldy grave into glorious rebirth. But it seems to us at least that the grand old party has finally shown signs of sprouting out of a ten-year slump. Whether one is a Republican, Democrat, or Socialist he should be pleased at the re-awakening of the “minority” party. Any one who has perused history, economics, or even campus poli tics knows that the results of monopolies are corruption, over ruling the weak, and a host of other evils. Our Democratic system, bad as it is, becomes even worse when it is dominated by one political group. If things are more nearly even, the good boys on each side will point out the errors of the bad on the other. As a result, both sides have to be moderately good to keep everything going. For example, if Roosevelt were faced with a comparatively strong opposition groupjn con gress, we would not have seen such a political boner as the supreme court packing (which everyone must admit is a black mark on anybody’s political slate), or the hurried and thoughtless expenditures of pub lic money, or . . . (see your local Republican for the rest of them.) The “vote of confidence” handed to FDR in 1936 was giv PHOTOGRAPHS are on the “Wanted List” MAKE YOl'K APPOINTMENT NOW . . . AVOID THE RUSH!

Kennell-Ellis Terse Tales FOR TINY TOTS or stories for the young eol lege students — literary ef forts from nowhere about anywhere. iiiiiiniiiiiiiininniiiniiiiiiiiiiiiii*iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiii!!intiiiiimiiii By MORITZ THOMSEN Horace Horrific was a jour nalism major, and the way he pounded out stories everybody knew he was going to be world famous before he was ninety. He certainly banged them out. He took a course in short story writing from Mr. Thatcher, as all journalism students do, and he started writing little pearls. Mr. Thacher didn't like them though. He told Horace that he, Horace, didn't know what he was writing about. Horace got mad for a few days, and he wrote a few letters to the edi tor of the Emerald, but then he decided that Mr. Thacher was probably right. About this time Horace got a terrific urge to write a murder story. He thought that he wrote pretty good mystery stories, but Mr. Thacher kept telling they were lousy. Horace got mad again. He got madder still when the Emerald didn’t publish his letter, but it wore off in time. Mr. Thacher said in class one day, “write about the things en to him in (food faith by the people. It is a question for hot debate whether he has used it wisely. (In passing, to refute any charges that we are Repub licans, we admit and commend many of the fine new deal mea sures, especially its plan of ac tivity, which had so much to do with pulling the nation out of the slough of inactivity in which the GOI* left it.) We hope, therefore, for the sake of democracy administered a little more carefully, that the seed planted by Hoover grows into active and healthy compe tition with the overgrown Democratic political plant which has produced some “bad apples." It makes no difference espe cially whether or not the Repub licans are completely successful in 1938 and 1940. As long as they return somewhere near the position which the grand old party held for year and years, democracy will be better served, you know. If you don't know anything about Alaska, don't write about it..” Horace said to himself. ‘I don't know anything about mur der. That's the trouble with me There's only one way out.” That night as the fog started rolling in around the campus, and the air grew damp and dank and morbid. Horace hid in the bushes outside of the journal ism building. He rather hoped he could get the editor of the paper, but he wasn't particular. The point really was to get any body. He'd certainly write a good murder story after that. A little after 10:30 Horace heard him walking up the grav el path. Horace couldn’t see a thing, but. he took the double bitted axe out of its case, and swung wildly. Later in his room, triumphant by weary, he pounded out the pages of his new masterpiece. He could hardly wait for Thurs day to come. He could hardly wait to have Mr. Thacher read his story. He knew it was good. It was bound to be for he had analyzed every little emotion, and described perfectly the cold terror that he felt there in the dark. It certainly was a let down, when the Emerald carried big headlines on the front page about the mysterious murder of Mr. Thacher. Horace certainly was mad.
