Fall Model Ducats to Feature Greater At ; tractions; Grid Tick ets Included ASUO membership cards, 1938 fall term model, which are due to go on sale in McArthur court with the opening of registration this morning, will have no apologies to make to previous dollar-for-dollar value ASUO card lineups. In fact, this newest product of long-time activities board planning will beat anything yet offered to student body pasteboard holders in sheer value, according to card drive heads. Portland Games Free Probably the greatest change, outside of the usual outstanding lineup of concert features and j football games, is the including in j the price of the membership cards of all three of the games to be : played in Portland, all for the one 1 initial cost. In former years card holders have had to dig down into the sock to pay an extra charge for one of the Portland games. Listed in the lineup of attrac tions covered by the cards are Fritz Kreisler, world-famed violin ist, who appears November 7, and the Don Cossack chorus. Home Games Included Football games include two home stands against UCLA and ; Idaho, Portland games bringing Southern California, Washington, and Oregon State. This is only the second appearance of the Trojans in Portland in several years. One “Little Civil War” contest ap pears on the slate as the Frosh and Rooks wind up the home schedule. Closely related to the football games will be the “Fall Frolic,” a pre-football game rally, which will be given September 30 in honor of Coach Tex Oliver. , Privileges Are Many Still other ASUO membership benefits included are the added privilege of entering into campu3 activities and a term’s subscription to the Oregon Daily Emerald. The total cost of all attractions offered in the price of the card, if paid piecemeal, one at a time, would come to $14.75, according to Educational Activities office fig ures. Student body card purchas ers pay only seven dollars for the ! whole list. New 'High' in Education Set By Texas U. By Anna Mae Halverson Something of a record might be claimed by the University o^Texas i which has 15 elevators in various buildings on the campus to carry foot-weary students to higher edu cation. The Main building has six of them. Texas may be rather flat but her University buildings as well as students seem to go up. In 58 years her library has grown from a single basement room to “a great white skyscraper with half a million vol umes stacked a dozen stories high.” (The Daily Texan) * * * College Worries Dr. Amy Stannard, psychiatrist at Cowell Memorial hospital at the University of California, laments that psychiatrists at the Infirmary were consulted on "very few really ' serious problems.” Some of the prob lems for which students seek ad vice were love affairs, homesick ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, exaggerated timidity, and worries over academic standing. * * * Ride Mister? The chief of police at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has asked students of the University of North Carolina to cooperate in observing hitch-hik ing regulations among other traffic rules. Down there, "bummers,” as they call them, are asked to thumb rides from the curb and watch curb warnings. Students who bum from the street will be haled before the local judge. The University art museum will be open from 3 to 5 p. m. Sunday for student inspection. There will be no charge.
