Out of Rumor Comes a Problem
T^UMOR TS pernicious. 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

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

Round ny About

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

panying the boys were Alpha

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

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

off and on for Harry Weston.
Lucky there are a few kids like

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

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!

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

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.

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

genius for detail—those small but
