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

SHOTS.
By B. Bowman
22 Years Ago
Camel, betake thee from my
sight!
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

Activities for
Frosh Women
Are Cut Down
A new order of things has
emerged for freshman women's ac
tivities. 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.

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

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.

Personality Can
Find Expression
In Stationery
By KAY WALLENTINE
Not to remind you of unfilled
obligations, but may I suggest to
you another emissary of that ex.
uberant personality, stationery. 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.
