It lends to establish ns fact stories ; which have not l)een authenticated. ri'lie campus lias seen an example of this type of “noising abroad” during the past weeks. Statements have been bandied wildly about on the status of exchange desserts for winter and spring terms. Some would have it that they have been completely banished by action of the president. Others say that the president had nothing to do about it—that the dean of women substituted exchange dinners for desserts. Truth of the matter is this. Neither the dean of women, the dean of men, nor the president has taken any action on the question. As a matter of fact the proposal—and it is nothing more than that—was brought up by students and unless contradictory evidence may be revealed, should be considered as a stodent movement. # * # THAT the question has been raised, however, it brings to light an interesting conflict in student opinion. .Some favor the present system, others want a more regulated method of scheduling, a few suggest curtailment of mid week social activities. Next week there will be a meeting of heads of women’s houses and one of men’s organization social chairmen. Solu tion to the problem may come out of this meeting. If it is to be a sound solution, acceptable to the majority, the stu dents representing their organization must be fully qualified to do just that. # # * * rpiITS MUCH may be pointed out. A real problem exists. The system as now practiced has been severely criti cized. Careful study will be necessary to evaluate these criti cisms, to consider the changes, and to arrive at a more feas ible plan. The situation deserves the attention of every mem ber of every living organization. The CALLIOPE ay aiaa Bestiios befuddling (ho on. (Ire Emerald staff, which has been collectively and individual ly chasing rumors until it is groggy, the mysterious person or persons who started the movement to reorganize the ex change dessert system have set loose a flood of student opinion involving every department of the administration including Dr. Erb. Among the rumors which the newsmen have attempted so un satisfactorily to spike is one that Dr. Erb is personally try ing to shake up the social cal endar. Whether or not any de partment is involved, Dr. Erb is not, and while he is away from the campus it would be a good idea to set that particular ru mor out of the way. Another bit of idle chatter blames I)r. Erb for having de signs on Willamette l*ark, which is said by some to Is* in terfering with University clos ing hours, but here again the Illume is being placed where it does not belong. No action has been taken on the Willamette park score, and although one department of the administra tion is said to have the power to “do something about it,” no campuign is under way. Changing the dessert sys tem by substituting exchange dinners during winter term was suggested at the last meet wniHtmimiiUHiiiiiiiuHiiimiittiiiiiiiuiiiimmiiiiiiimiiuiiitHtiitiimiiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiii^ | Late for | Class Today? . .

AUMnuna i n g- of the interfraternity council, but a discussion was delayed until each house had an opportunity to consider the matter. While opinions differ, it seems that the best solution is to allow each house to sched ule either an exchange dinner or a dessert, at its own discre tion. Wliy should desserts be allotted only to fall term and dinners only to winter term ? That way, both are apt to get tiresome. Last night it was learned that Dean Hazel P. Schwering will call a meeting next week of the heads of houses and of all social chairmen to discuss the possibility of a change. But changing the present system by setting definite deadlines for desserts and for dinners is mak ing the present custom too stereotyped. I Wie geht’s iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiimitiiiuiiiiiiiiiuiuuiiiiiiiiiuiimiiimituuiiiutii' By V. OATES We note on the Emerald ad vertising staff the name of Mar tin laither. Does this imply another Kenaissanee? Certain factions in Europe fear for Poland’s territorial in tegrity. The Polish corridor, it appears, is just a hallway but visitors don’t have to wipe their shoes before they enter. * * * Now we see why Danzig is called tlie Free City. Someone may take it for nothing. * * * And it isn’t clear just yet whether Germany really wants Czechoslovakia’s Skoda muni tions works, or the beer at Pil sen. * * * Strange that a Czech writer, Karel Capek, should have coined the word “robot.” ICx-president Penes can probably give us a concrete illustration. * * * With freedom of s|>eerh de nied in some European centers everyone is afraid to talk. The only one in position to talk hack is Charlie McCarthy. * * * "Lost and Found Service Will Be Installed in Library.” "Lib rary Will Get Check Room.”— headlines in Emerald. What the library needs is a bank night. I Round ny About WITH WEN BROOKS A little thing like not having a rally train can’t stop loyal Webfoot rooters! Several cars left yesterday for points south, especially Palo Alto. W. C. Smallwood and Vein Ambrose, Phi Delts, left at four in Small wood’s blue roadster. Accom panying the boys were Alpha Chi O’s Jean Barry and Betty Cowan. Leaving earlier in the day were Carl Jantzen and Bill Watson, both barn boys. * * * At the city council meeting Monday night Dean Onthank asked the city to give the Uni versity the old CCC barracks at Skinner’s park after they are turned over to the city by the federal government. Has plans of turning the shacks into lodg ings for NVA students sup posedly. Sounds O. K. if some transportation company will now kick through with a bus or two for transportation to and from the campus. Or we might make some kind of a deal with Dinty’s hike shop? Pi Phi’s Caroline Hand left the other day for an extended tour of the United States. Will be back about the first of December after having taken in Victoria, B.C., Chicago, Boston, New York, Washington, D. C., New Orleans, Cuba, touching Mexico, and back to Los An geles and Eugene. That’s the kind of education I’d go for! * * * Perhaps being a soldier isn’t so had after all. At least, not if you have a commission and are drawing $125 per month be sides board and lodging such as Ken Kirtlcy, DU on the campus last year, is now doing at Van couver barracks. Ken’s dad, Bill “Kirt” Kirtley, is head jani tor at the Igloo, has been ever since its erection in 1926. * S! * One coed on the campus who deserves recognition of some sort or another is Eleanor Swift, Gamma Phi, who serves in the capacity of unofficial secretary to student body presi dents. Last year she typed let ters for Barney Hall, now works off and on for Harry Weston. Lucky there are a few kids like that around or where would campus activities be? Observation: gals with curves are hart! on nones ... at times, anyway. » » * And just what is all this talk about doing away with desserts possibly winter and spring terms? Or substituting ex change dinners for the dessert idea . . . whereby half the mem bers of each of the exchanging groups would trip to the other house ? What’s the idea behind exchanges but to have some fun and dance ? You can take a gal friend out and eat anytime you feel like it, but I for one enjoy to eat when I'm eating and not have Emily Post spoil my appetite. Can’t you just hear the girls comparing notes after the first exchange dinner . . . “Doesn’t Joe use a mean fork ? And did you see the way Bill reached for the bread plate?” Nuts! Air-minded is Sigma Chi’s Bud Wells who has ambitions of someday getting to Randolph field. Bud spent a year and a half at Luke field, Territory of Hawaii, as a ground mechanic. * :!•• # Did you know that the Uni versity of Oregon was estab lished in 1872 by an act of the Oregon legislature but that no classes were held until four years after that date, 1876? That the booked population of the whole Oregon territory (in cluded both the state of Wash ington and Oregon) in 1850 was only 13,297 . . . about half as many people as live in and around Eugene at the present time ? That Lloyd Tupling in terviewed Leon Trotsky for INS (International News Ser vice) while in Mexico this sum- > mer? You know, perhaps a dicta torship wouldn’t be such a bad thing in the United States after all . . . at least, not during the college social season. We could stand having a few concentra tion camps scattered around. From what I hear (noise) it’s impossible to study in more than one living organization on the campus. And in closing, our student body president at one time in his life answered to the blood chilling handle of TARZAN! Not that he pounded his chest; rather was quite taken with tree-climbing. Go get him, girls! CAMPUS CALENDAR Students in speech will meet to night for their first speech assem bly at 7:30 in the faculty room at Friendly hail.

I have a pair of new dirndl overalls with flounces. Yours truly, Lena Ginster, WCTU and MGM. Dear Lena: The combined forces of Burk erickson have been working day and nightski to solve your heart stirring problem. Are you the endearing type ? Do you long for caresses and sweet words ? Would you like to watch i lean-jawed brute hungrily devour bacon across the breakfast table from you ? Or, do you pirfe for lace curtains cn your truck? (A sure sign of femininity) Russian Leather per fume ? Then, you have but one choice—to let your head rule. But wait! Most important of all, you must give yourself over to the process of self analysis. Grasp your left palm firmly in your right hand. Look past the callous es, gaze only upon the furrowed lines, symbolic of your real self. Whether you are meant to be headstrong or heartstrong is in delibly written there. If this does not help you in your decision, our one remaining sug gestion to. you is to flip a ruble (naming your two choices, say, heads Ivawn Digupaditch, and tails, Blue Serge Hatsoff) and im mediately enter into a long engage ment (about a 6 and 7-8 year plan) with the lucky party. Yours till the Cossacks ride again, Burkerickson. P.S.—Upon receipt of a stamped, self-addressed envelope, we will mail you “Clothes for the Career Woman, or Do’s and Don’ts for the Lady Truck Driver. Personality Can (Continued from page three) Then if you are inclined too much to conventionality and express rather solemn thoughts, you would treasure the blue, wnite-trimmed paper which takes the edge off your austerity. If you veer toward the fashionable but are of a gener. ous and proper nature, your print ed writing will go beautifully on a neat white paper. And, to satis fy your truly feminine and dainty hearts choose a definitely but deli cately monogrammed paper in pale blue. Dash and individuality may also be invoked by the use of vari-col ored inks. The lady then has art ful good taste. She exhibits her genius for detail—those small but vital “somethings” that make all the difference.
