Phi Delts Rumored Super Pin-Planters By BETTY HAMILTON The Phi Delts may be called the campus sweethearts of 1938. They are the most frequent piggers on the campus, according to a sur vey of fraternity pins in the sorority houses. Twenty Phi Delt pins have been planted so far this year in various sorority houses “with more coming up,” according to several of the girls. The Alpha Phi sorority takes the honors for collecting the most fraternity pins with twenty to their credit. The Kappas run a close second witn eignteen oi tnose nt-, tie beauties. Gamma Phi Beta should be re-j warded for having the most var ied assortment of pins. Their col lection includes Phi Delt, Sigma Nu, Sig Ep, Kappa Sig, Chi Psi, Phi Sig, Phi Psi, Delt, and Beta pins. The Pi Kaps and the Sigma Al pha Mus are the only fraternities that have escaped the pin seeking women so far. The Phi Sigs and Theta Chis come next on this list with only two of their pins planted in sorority houses. When averaged up there are 127 fraternity pins planted in the so rorities. It cannot be estimated as to whether this list is longer than last year’s, however, it is rumored that the ATOs had at least twen ty pins planted on the members of the fairer sex last spring term. This year either the boys are slip ping or are playing “hard to get,” because they have only 11 pins planted as yet. The pins in the dormitories were not checked. Second Shipment Of 2150 Oreganas Received Friday There is still a chance to get an Oregana if you do not have one as there are a few unsold copies still available at the educational activities office, according to How ard Overback, business manager of the yearbook, but the supply will probably not last much longer. A second shipment of 2150 books |was received Friday. There are still 200 copies unclaimed by those! ) students who have already paid for their books. Until May 20 Oreganas are be ing distributed at the activities of fice every day from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. House managers may call for their copies now, stated Overback. ^l3ISI@M^jH^SJMSJSJt3Ifi!jtae!iCiiSEiaiSJ0®r i. i I Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers Oregana l)r.

Novel Art Displays Are Shown in Libe c The new displays in the circula tion hall of the library which have been catching the students’ atten tion, are examples of the work done in the art school. One cabi net is devoted to pieces executed by John Ryder, graduate assistant 'in the school, and includes pottery, jewelry, statues, and an abstract drawing. All the abstracts which are used as backgrhunds for the exhibits were done by him. Rings of unusual settings, de signed by the individual students, gleam beside modern, green fish or strange, exotic, miniature heads. The dull silver in which they have all been shaped sets off the stones used in them to advan tage. Remarkable vases and bowls and even dishes of many hues brighten the collection. Stream-lined animals of a modern age give a saucy air as they sit beside slender maids. The figure attracting the most laughs was that of a peacefully sleeping dog in the case to the left of the cir culation desk. He bore a remark able resemblance to “Pluto,” the office pup. -» ■ - - - ■ Puss Erwin, Texas Christian uni versity ace shot-putter, practices form 15 minutes a day in front of the mirror.

Prospectors Instructed In Mining Art in Oregon How to prospect for gold, how to build sluice boxes, and how to go about the general business of finding pay dirt is what students at the mining school in Grants Pass, Oregon, have been taught. A plan for a similar type of school, perhaps somewhat more ad vanced, has been talked of for Baker, Oregon. Such a school might offer a two-year course to ambitious prospectors. At present there is no mining degree granted in this state, al though there is a mining depart ment without the degree-granting privilege in the school of engin eering at the State college. Not for Eugene “We are not interested here ii Eugene in the establishment of a mining school at the University,” commented Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department. “I be lieve that the department at the State college should be given the privilege of granting degrees in mining, and, if necessary, addition al staff and' equipment tp make this possible. We have no desire to duplicate this type of work at the University, as it isn’t called for. We could benefit very much by having some work in geology, but there is hardly room for two mining schools in the state, and will not be for some time to come, in my opinion.” OSC Degrees Stopped He explained that, although de grees in mining engineering were formerly given at Oregon State, this was discontinued in 1932 on the ground of economy and in the belief that at that time the indus try did not warrant a mining school. Training Needed v Professor Smith suggested that a two-year course at a practical mining school, such . as the one proposed for Baker, followed by a two or three-year more technical course at the State college, might be a good solution for the situa tion. The student might obtain a mining degree after the comple tion of the more advanced work at the college. “Whether we need a full-fledged mining school,” he stated, “we Lneed more mining training in the state, and’ probably the easiest way to do this would be to have a couple of practical years at ei ther Grants Pass or Baker, then finish up in a full-fledged depart ment of mining in the school of engineering at the State college.” DR.
