ONE IF BY LAND—EDIT—
(Unprecedented in college editorial circles was the quick
response to the Emerald’s campaign to debunk the sincerity
of pin-planting. Early this morning (10 a.m.) we were awak
ened to answer a telephone call from some coed who, guided by
conscience, had sent her pin back to the donor by special de
livery. I*. S. It wasn’t our pin.)
# # # #
'T'lIEY’LR IIA NO two lanterns in 1lio tower of Oregon’s
traditions from now on, and the Paul Revere will be the
unfortunate coed who wears a pin. So we might think, at
least, from the preliminary repercussions of our “curfew
shall not ring tonight” tirade against the planting of fra
ternity pins.
There are, as always in any sensible controversy involving
human traits and mores, some girls who are disillusioned by
our suggestion that pin-planting has no more serious meaning
than sitting on a tombstone in the graveyard and looking
at the moon. For them, we’re sorry, but our consolation is
the honest belief that their sufferings of later disillusionment
will be spared intensity by a slight jab in the jaw at this
early stage of romance. Anyway they can hold out for a
ring, now.
# # # #
rp'IIFN, TOO, there is always a minority who agree with us.
Especially Ihose who owe us money and are afraid to
take issue. A smaller group is that of the serious-minded,
1 hose gallant souls who overlook the promise of future work
on I In* WPA upon graduation and see, instead, a rosy tumor-;
row as president of some worthy organization or corporation. ;
They have shunned the fears of silting in the economic cellar,
and with a proud display of optimism for'the future have
charted their course, planting their pin on the only one in
the world. This, unfortunately, is a minority, and all the!
sincerity in the world is back, of their pinning deed when I
1hey say Uu* magic words that flutter the hearts of coeds, j
With them we have no quarrel; instead we’re waiting for
Diogenes and his lantern to find them.
QI’K CAMPAIGN for righteousness extends only to that
fP’oup of pinners, both sexes included, which follows the
course of amusing hypocrisy, that channel which leads to an
undermining ol laith insincerity. It is not wrong to plant a
pin, no more than to plant a tomato. Neither is it wrong to
accept one, any more than to accept an invitation to break
fast. Hut that’s just .. point -planting and accepting of
pins is no more a sincere gesture, on the Oregon campus at
least, than planting a tomato or accepting an invitation In
breakfast. Perhaps it shouldn’t he, but if not. then the rest
ol the campuses are barking up the wrong telephone pole
and the (Irockdotter houses should quit supporting enter
prising jewelry manufacturers. Of that, no more; let the
jewelers (dean up their own backyards and quit commercial
izmg campus quasi-romances. Pins are a dime a dozen if you
want them.
\\n-l ARM not adopting a “holier than thou" policy. We
are not condemning Oregon’s Greek houses, nor are we
berating the tender hearts of Josephine Coed. Anvway, we
are stifled by impecuniosity and can’t afford a pin. Or maybe
we’d plant it.
If our only conclusion was to point out to the erring lad
Mho is prejudiced by an aura of temporary sea-sickness that
he is violating a sacred institution that ought to be preserved
and can remind the fairer sex that acquiring a pin is unim
portant without the old attachment to engagement, then
we’d feel rewarded.
There is no danger sign here, it is not needed. We’re not
saying keep off the ice. We’re just saying, don’t fall in V 0

'I'd Rather Be
(Continued from page three)
Wrote Column
On Adam's recommendation he
started writing a column of his
own for Frank Munsey’s Washing
ton Times. One day as Kaufman
was dashing into the Times com
posing room with a sheaf of cor
rected galley proofs he bumped
into a tall man who was coming
through the doorway.
“What does he do?” queried the
tall man.
“He writes a column."
“Fire him,” said Mr. Muncey.
BACK to New York went Kauf
man, where he took a job writing
drama notes for the now defunct
Ti ibune. Here he developed a dis
tinct Kaufmanesque humor, which
is typified in such “laugh-a-line”
comedies as “You Can't Take It
With You,” “The Cocoanuts,” and
“I’d Rather Be Right.”
From the Tribune he went to
the New York Times, where his
quips and humorous anecdotes of
the theater were almost the lone
lighthearted feature of that great
but sober-sided journal. This ap
prenticeship as dramatic critic
gave him an insight into what was
wrong with the American stage.
Revised Old Play
He wrote a play based on check
raising, and called it “Going Up."
He wrote 37 versions of it. passed
it from manager to manager, but
never sold it. However, his spark
ling dialogue was remembered by
one manager and it was Kaufman
who got the call when it became
apparent that "Someone in the
House" needed new blood.
LIKE the proverbial ill-wind,
"Someone in the House" blew some
good. In a minor role there was
a good lady called Lynn Fontanne.
She said a lot of dumb things, but
it was delightful. She gave him
hull an idea. Another association
brought the other half. In F.P.A.'s
column there existed a singlar
character named Dulcinea. With
another Pennsylvanian, Marc Con
nelly. Kaufman added two and two

Armistice flay on the campus
. . . and a chilly, though bright
and sunny, day at that. Rov
ing around find most students
gathered about fireplaces in
their houses, some getting cold
feet at the Frosh-Rook game
on Hayward field, and the
scarcity of flags on the campus
quite noticeable. Sigma Chis
may well be proud of their flag
pole, flying the yellow and
green of Oregon as well as the
stars and stripes yesterday.
Stout hearted kids were those
coeds who helped carry the red
cross banner in the parade yes
terday morning, keeping smil
ing though chilled to the mar
row. And perhaps some of the
advanced military students can
stand a little more elementary
work . . . from the comments
on the confusion that ensued
when their company entered the
parade at Kincaid and Four
teenth.

Largely responsible for the
fine reputation the University
placement bureau has up and
' down the coast is Miss Janet
Smith, employment ..secretary
for the past five years. Before
coming to Oregon Miss Smith
served several years as field
secretary on the national board
of the YWCA, traveling all over
the country. And at one time
Miss Smith was employed by
one of the largest companies
importing silk in the world,
traveling regularly between
Manila, where the factories
were located, and the head of
fices in New York, acting as
buyer and stopping in Paris
frequently. Exciting work if
you can get it!

And one clog that has attend
ed University classes . . . though
irregularly . . . for the past
five years, is leaving the cam
pus tomorrow . . . perhaps for
good. Baron, Chi Psi police dog,
has been reclaimed by his own
er, Ken Miller, '37, who came
clear from Brentwood, Califor
nia yesterday to get his fleet
footed pal. Ken, who was a
half-miler on Bill Hayward's
track team two years, is now
coaching at Liberty union high
in Brentwood. And the Phi
Dolt house dog, Smoky, will no
longer have Baron to exchange
growls with about the campus.
This ’n that: Nan Moore of
Susan Campbell pinned by Jack
Levy, SAE swimmer . . . at

so long ago was being wooed
by two fellows, both wanting
to pin her at the same time.

Miss Fontanne —- anil it was the
forerunner to a series of Kaufman
Connelly hits which included "To
the Ladies,” "Helen of Troy, N.Y.,"
“Beggar on Horseback,” and "Mer
ton of the Movies.” The play with
the girl, Dulcy, was his third dra
matic effort, his first play based on
an idea of his own, and his first
hit. Dulcy was named one of the
best plays of 1921-22.
Superstitious
Gold was soon lining the Kauf
man pocket, but the successful
playwright clung to the edge of
the New York Times drama desk,
and only a short time ago he left
it. Superstitious, for a long' time
he knocked out at least a part of

And that editorial by Vincent
Gates in yesterday's Emerald
attracted quite a lot of atten
tion about the campus. Was
worth thinking about. The rate
of exchange of pins on this
campus is terrific and I must
say a pin can’t mean much to
most coeds. Still, I think most
of us realize this . . . and it's
a harmless sport. A pin, in
most cases, is merely a trophy
awarded the coed in recogni
tion of her night’s, or week’s
work . . . harmless enough.
You know this morning, fel
low students, for some unknown
reason I feel an urge to preach
. . . perhaps it's because tomor
row is Sunday ... at any rate,
my little sermon will be on
HOW TO BE POPULAR or
WHY CAN'T BIRD DOGS
FLY?
The subject is old but I think
many of us may profit by a lit
tle rehashing once in a while.
If you follow the simple direc
tions listed below I will guar
antee you to be the life of the
party . . . how long the party
will last is another thing.
First: never speak when
spoken to. That doesn’t make
sense. That’s why I’ve put it
at the top of the list. Second:
before you start to say some
thing be sure someone else is
already talking. Making sure
of this little point will guaran
tee you immediate attention.
And when you start to talk,
talk loudly. Then don’t stop
talking until everyone else ha3
either shut up, gone to sleep,
or left the room. Now there
are a few more pointers I had
meant to stick you with but
have forgotten. They must have
been good. That’s all for now.

fun!

Book Review
(Continued from page three)
in excitement, thrills, ‘ and homey
appeal. Perhaps there may be too
much of some of this, but it’s the
kind of thing best sellers are made
of. There are only one or two
“bad” characters in the piece, and
these are viewed from an angle so
as to make them not too disagree
able.
Author Shows Restraint
She tells of the color and the
glow of the foggy bayou, the scent
of magnolia hanging potently in
the hot night air, the fidelity of
the negro slaves who have their
freedom but still love their old
positions. The reader’s sensibili
ties may not respond to these as
readily as does Mrs. Krey, who no
doubt feels their power intensely.
In telling of them, she has re
strained herself.
Every historical novel can not
be given the suspense and romantic
appeal of a “Gone With the Wind.”
This one doesn't have it, but “And
Tell of Time” still can’t be classi
fied as a "quiet” novel. Worth
while.

by an Indian air attack late in the
game; and again when Fordham’s

like one pound of sand for over
half the game and only managed
to save the reputations of Ram

Reginato Plays
For Both Teams
Pity the football announcer
today.
When you’re listening' to the
Oregon-California game oft your
radio and hear that Reginato
scored a touchdown for Califor
nia, don’t be surprised. For,
strange as it seems, both teams
have a Vic Reginato playing in
end position.
A seven column picture in the
Los Angeles Times of last Sun
day shows what Oregon hopes
will happen today, but with Cal
ifornia’s Reginato—an opposing
back circling his end for a
touchdown.
Unprecedented, so far as rec
ords reveal, is the peculiar coin
cidence of two opposing teams
having players with identical
names—in this case even more
surprising, because Reginato is
hardly as common a name as
Smith or Jones.
asked you to dinner, but when you
accuse us of having- a two-bit team,
we are willing to bet you one
(100!) Thursday greenbacks you
are wrong. And to prove it look
at the statistics of that much
heralded, much-malinged “battle”
of the bay, wherein one USC
romped 288 yards through the
“wonder team” from Berkeley, and
the Bears in turn retaliated with
44! That's the fly in the honey,
Mr. Laird. Didn’t you say a week
ago, California would “take” the
Trojans by two touchdowns, didn't
you sing high the praises of Stub
Allison’s line ? Or did you mean
his lingo? You remind us of the
warriors from Mars, Mr. Laird, and
just for that we’re going to sit
right here and refuse to get ex
cited.

Women Office Heads
To Show Eligibility
Issued Wednesday from the dean
of women's office was the regula
tion that all women students, in
order to serve on any committee
or to hold any office, must first
have their scholastic standing
cleared through the dean of wo
men’s office.
The requirements for eligibility
to the campus activity list are as
follows: the girl must be regis
tered as a regular student, exclud
ing special and graduate students;
she must be carrying the required
number of hours; she must not
have been on scholastic probation
the preceding term; her class
| standing must agree with the of
! fice; and her grade point average
| must be at least two point.
The chairman of every commit-;
tee must bring a list of the women
students who are to serve upon
! that committee to the dean of wo
men's office and have their grades
| cleared and okayed.
This is not a new policy but has
been a standing requirement with
the AWS and heads of houses in
former years.
The reason that this regulation
is enforced is to give those stu
dents with low GPAs more time to
study, and to give those with high
GPAs the opportunity to prove
themselves capable, it was stated
by Helen Dodds, secretary to the
dean of women.

YOUR BUSY LIFE
LETS DOWN THE BARS
TO NERVE STRAIN
BOSTON TERRIER—A cross between the English bulldog
and white English terrier, but this gentle, lovable house
pet is strictly an American product. First bred in Boston
some 60 years ago. Once called the “Roundhead,” today
he is known as the “American Gentleman” of dogdom.
HE’S GIVING HIS
NERVES A REST...
AND SO IS HE
RE these busy, trying days for you ?
Do you find yourself, at day’s end,
irritable, nerve-weary? Take a moment
— study the dog above. He’s resting his
nerves. Even in the midst of strenuous
action he will stop, relax. The dog does
that instinctively, though his nerves are
complex, high-keyed like our own.
We, trained for the intense contest of
modern life, are likely to ignore the dis
tress signals of our nerves —the instinc
tive urge to rest. So often, we let our
will-power drive us on at a task, hour
after hour, heedless of nerve tension.
You don't want your nervous system
to be a drag. See what a difference it
makes when you rest your nerves regu
larly-when you LET UP-LIGHT UP
