House Dances Lead Weekend Activities By LITTLE WILBUR The fall social season, officially opened last Friday night, will swing along with the first of the house pledge dances this weekend Among the early birds wll be Alpha Delta Pi and Delta Gamma dances Friday, and Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Sigma Kappa, who have theirs Saturday evening. The ATOs will use their traditional fall motif in a trapper’s dance, decorating the house with fir boughs and greens to create an atmos i>uv uuuo. Annual UcdUo and skins will add to the theme. Maurey Binford and his hunters will play for the occasion. Bob Hochuli is in charge of the ar rangements. ^ * * * Have Varied Motifs The Kappas have selected a bow ery theme with decorations and costumes to carry out their idea. Music will be furnished by Fred Beardsley and his new street sing ers. The Delta Gammas are with holding the motif of their dance from their pledges, but promise that will be interesting and worth waiting to see. Art Holman’s band will furnish the music. Another secret is the theme of the Sigma Kappa affair, for which Bud Brown and his boys will play. The Alpha Delta Pi pledge dance will take place “under water’’ ac cording to the idea carried out in the decorations. Huge waves will splash against the walls of their living room, and fish of various I3ISI3JBISIEM3EI3I3ISI3J3MSJe1 [a Did I Fool Him! 62s mm, When He Wanted to Show Me His Etchings . . .

Thou beastly weed, release me from my plight, You surely know the law we ican't revoke, To walk and talk on 13th. But not smoke. And so an unknown Emerald scribe. in 1916 began a front page story on the old tradition of not smoking on the campus. The tra dition at that time was about 30 years old. Violations had appeared on the campus and a voluntary vote was cast in T6 to uphold the custom. » The woeful story ended with a plea to the girls to be charitable.; “If you see a stude walk forlorn-1 ly out on the walk, gaze about in j dazed-like way for a second, and then stride off down for a street, remember that the cross is heavy.” The custom began when the campus had but two trees, and when Deady hall, the only build ing, was not entirely finished. One day all the men of the University, some seventy-five or eighty, held a council under the two old oak trees which stand by the railroad track. They unanimously agreed to refrain from smoking on the campus and walks adjacent to it. The first apparent violation was begun after the old library was built. The boat'd walk leading from there to the athletic field, located across the street, became a con gregating place between classes. “Gradually the fumes of tobacco increased in volume until they be came a veritable fog.” The increased number of smok ers caused the setting aside of cer tain spots on the campus where it was permissible to smoke. The nicotine bench across from the main library was one of the first places opened to smokers. A stu dent traditions committee put a stop to smoking in the journalism shack and the architectural court in 1927. (This column could probably not have been written without the familiar haze of smoke—and only the other day a professor offered f. cigarette during a conference. I Did You Wonder, Too?

The plan is to cut down on the work freshman women have to do and to still keep the means for making acquaintances. Phi Theta Upsilon, the junior women's service honorary have charge of freshman orientation and, with the help of the Kwama organization, will sponsor frosh activities. k In regard to activities and in terests, Phi Theta has already in terviewed 525 freshman women. The AWS has cut out all sales on the campus; and Phi Theta has scrapped the hobby groups. In place of these activities there will be regular freshman assemblies to get the women students acquaint ed with each other. These meet ings will be informal get-togethers with programs. The first one will be held a week from from next Tuesday. With the same idea as the as semblies, the group plans exchange luncheons by which freshman from different living organizations will become acquainted with other groups on the campus. At these luncheons ten frosh from one house will be entertained by another group while ten of their freshmen will be eating lunch at the other house. Betty Jane Vandellen and La Verne Littleton are in charge of these affairs. Working with the AWS groups the YWCA plans to cut their fresh man activities. There will be only the homecoming doughnut sale by the Y, Ruth Ketchum, president, said. The Y will continue to lead the interest groups for freshmen, and the frosh commission as organ ized Tuesday with various ap pointments will continue to func tion. The Y will also sponsor a mass meeting of freshman women once a term. without electricity? Pretty tricky!

Dissension Among Houses on Desserts By BEULAH CHAPMAN Dissension of opinion was found among various presidents of liv ing organizations yesterday when asked their individual opinions on the proposed reorganization of the exchange dessert system. Although there has been no official action on this matter, lively discussion is taking place on the campus as to whether exchange dinners should replace exchange desserts during winter and perhaps spring term. J.he matter will come up for official consideration soon. Advocates of the proposed change ■ to exchange dinners include . i-.una.me mini., sigma is.appa pres j ident, and Mary Ellen Williams, Zeta Tau Alpha president. Both l believe it would be a worthwhile j experiment. Mary Ellen points out that dinners give all members of the houses the chance to partici pate, while desserts limit the num ber to a few. Phi Delta Oppose Bill Cummings, Phi Delta Theta president, opposes the change. He believes that the choice of dinner or dessert should be left entirely to the individual houses and sees no advantage in having a uniform ity in practice. Marjorie Bates, Kappa president, Betty Crawford, Theta president, and Ron Husk, SAE president, fa vor having dinners winter terms as a means of cutting down on the waste of time. They advocate having exchanga dinners about once a month or possibly once ev try two weeks during winter term. They believe that it should not be left up to the individual houses, as Cummings advocates, but that some one plan should be agreed upon. Betty Crawford would dis continue any form of exchanges during spring term when the social calendar is crowded with other events. / Change Favored Favoring the change on different grounds are Mary Eleanor Bailey, Alpha Gam president, and Leland Terry, Theta Chi president. Both believe that dinners, since they last longer, give more ample oppor tunity to get acquainted with oth ers. They do not see the dinners as a means of cutting down time wastage. They advocate having dinners as often as desserts have been held, since they believe that enough time is wasted on other ac tivities to justify spending more on this. A1 Long, Sigma Phi Epsilon, however, believes that the change would lessen opportunity to be come widely acquainted. He be lieves that the dinners would prob ably be held less often and that consequently fewer houses could be entertained during the term. Courtney LaSelle, Pi Kap presi dent, and Jeanine Winters, social chairman of Alpha Xi Delta, op pose changing from desserts be cause dinners would take up too much of the evening. LaSelle feels New Journalists To Be Entertained Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism honorary, is holding an informal reception tonight at 7 in alumni hall for all the new women in journalism. Theta Sig alumni now in'Eugene will be present. Elizabeth Ann Jones is general chairman. Mrs. Eric W. Allen will introduce the alums and speak briefly. Mrs. Lloyd Tupling will talk on her travels in Mexico while recently on her honeymoon. Her husband’s interview with Leon Trotsky, international figure, has been published in the Oregonian. President Bernadine Bowman will tell the purposes and activities of Theta Sigma Phi. She recently attended the national convention of the honorary in Los Angeles this summer. She urges that all girls that are new in the journal ism school or interested in writ ing come as they are to the affair. Refreshments will be served. that desserts have beeen satisfac tory in the past and that there is no adequate reason to change. |IIIIII|I|IIIIIIIWIII!IIIIUIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIII|||||||III|II|HIIII||||||||||||I|||||||M||||||| ARE YOU | LOOKING I YOUR BEST S FOR THE 3 HOUSE DANCE?

BROADWAY .++++++++++■ Lovelorn, Ltd. By Burkerickson Gottafootstok, Russia, j Octobervitch 8, 1938. Lovelorn, Ltd. Oregon Daily Emerald Eugene, Oregon U. S. A. Chichonia: 1 am a lady truck driver. I make my living the hard way. Although I live under the 13-year plan, I formerly was an American. But back there in the States I got to realizing how few rights the fe males of Russia really have and decided to do something about it. I was unable, after I had en tered the country to obtain work in a lingerie shop (I had always done work of that kind) but they were building roads near here and right away I got a jab as a hod carrier. Right away a guy named E. Vawn Digupaditch fell in love with me, and I with him. But since he did not show any prospects of ever being anything but a wheelbarrow pusher, I did not think it best. Then, too, everytime he said, “Lena, I'd push this wheelbarrow to the ends of the earth for you," I felt myself getting a yen. So I quit. He can, if he wants to, and keep right on going. Now I am working for the Trans-Russian truck company, do ing my best to keep matter covered up with mind. A guy named Blue Serge Hatsoff is construction boss, and I am afraid he may try to carry his work too far. I don’t feel a yensky for him. What shall I do ? I love E. Vawn, not as a hod-carrier, but as—a perfect answer to my prayers. (Please turn to page four) MAY BELLE BEAUTY SALON 50c Shampoo and Fingerwave 25c to 50c Manicure 35c Individual Hair Styling.

We are all apt to be restrained as far as correspondence goes, and for getful, too, that our writing paper is more eminent of us than—yes— our handwriting. The provocative idea of letting it represent your dearest whims is to advantage. Here are some notions that may help. If you are gracious and thoughtful, however, conservative, might I suggest a fine creamy paper with name or address seem ingly written on it (it’s really en graved). If you are a bit bashful about your youth, yet clever, a subtle sand shade bordered in brown should distinguish you. The spirited person does well on a blue and raspberry sheet topped with*a small-lettered monogram. Let your youth and frivolity be in a first name, vivid in red, written on the diagonal. I For you demanding sophistica tion with a scrawled and hurried hand, the large grey paper en graved in a deep shade is ideal.
