Innovations in Women’s
Rushing Believed Better
Than Old Set-up by Many
Innovations in the University of Oregon rushing system have been
generally accepted as improvements of former methods for the distri
bution of freshmen women among the various living organizations on
the campus, according to inquiries made upon the completion of “rush
week.” ,
Although much dissatisfaction has been expressed over the be
wilderment of the rushees and the consequent lack of coordination
between the houses and prospective pledges, the rushers, rushees and
those in charge of the. project are all agreed on one point . . . that it
is better to house the freshman on the campus.
Mrs. J. M. Miller, house mother at Hendricks hall pointed out that

; 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.
