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.

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.

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.”
