Wanted: More queens at the
UW campus. It seems that in
the very near future the Wash
ington student body will select
six queens for the ”Tyee” year
book pictorial section: one must
be the “Ideal" girl, the kind to
take home to mother; the next
will be the “Ski” queen who
can look gorgeous even when
she buries her head in a snow
bank; the third will be a
“Glamour” girl who floats when
she dances, and is a ravishing,
exotic beauty; the next is the
“Summer” girl who’s slim and
lovely, a swimmer, etc.; the
fifth an “Activities" girl with
all that it takes; and the sixth
is the “Typical” coed who def
initely must wear a tan cam
el’s hair coat, saddles, pastel
sweaters ,and be cute and pert.
When it comes to aims today,
it seems wc more or less hit
the jack-pot. Rosemary Keep,
prize DG freshman, is now the
true love of Darold Windsor,
Sigma Nil. . . . And Patty Ham
ley, Gamma Phi, now belongs
to Bob Helm, Phi Delt. who in
cidentally is not on the campus
this term. . . . Marge Kernan,
DG, relieved Ray Bond of his
Phi Sig artillery. . . . Then
there’s Gerry Tripp, Gamma
Phi, who’s wearing a Sigma Nil
pin belonging to Bill Karney.

“What Price Love” with Sig
ma Chi’s "marking the spot”
in front of the Side yesterday—
namely Phil Wallace and it was
Marge Kempter, Alpha Chi, who
had to feed him his lunch and
then free him from the "stocks.”
And according to some of the
boys, it will be Les Harger’s
turn today due to his planting
of the pin on attractive Betty
Jane Foulke, Gamma Phi. Won
der if Les can twirl himself out
of that ?

Jim Rodman was chuckling
in class the other day! It seems
he received a letter from the
Oregon state system of higher
education. He has been taking
a correspondence course in lit
erature which he dropped last
May. The letter wanted to
know if he was having a little
difficulty with the next lesson.

If you don’t have an “ism"
nowadays like everyone does,
maybe you can develop a the
ory. Kappa Sig’s Jack Gavin
has one which he dubs as his
“mixmaster theory.” According
to Jack, if you purchase one of
these mixers and all the fix
tures, which beats eggs, peels
potatoes, 'fix your orange juice,
make cakes, practically curl
your hair, you don’t need a
wife. And these mixers, can’t
talk back.
Everyone seemed to immense
ly enjoy the sports get-together
Wednesday night. The biggest
upset occurred when the cam
pus champion Phi Delt volley
bailers were eliminated before
the finals started.

Attention W. E. and S. B.:
Just a humble suggestion to
further your scientific research
problems: there are 15 sorori
ties and 18 fraternities on the
campus. -Carol.

SMALL FRY: Ed Burtenshaw
(cast in a future campus pro
duction) and Ralph Peters,
since September, have been
having difficulties over the
same girl in Boise, Idaho. Ed
won out for New Year's eve
but both are now placing bets
on who will get the first letter
of the year. . . . The Doris De
Young, Gamma Phi Beta, and
Keith Osburne, Chi Psi, ro
mance is traveling right -
along just like the Marge Hos
feldt, Gamma Phi, and Jim
Davey, SAE, affair is, they say.
. . . Dorothea Wray will be
down from Portland to attend
the Kappa Sig formal with Bob
Norris. . . . And we notice
Chuck Miller, former UO stu
dent in Eugene for the same
affair. He will be escorting Jean
Frink, red-lieaded Alpha Phi.
. . . Will be lots of inlaid card
tables in the sororities due to
the savings of the Raleigh
“golden coupons.” . . . Call for
information on Dick Peters,
Sigma Chi. Informants please
call the Emerald. . . . Gerry >
Good, Delt, who is back to <
school this term will be seen in i
costume at the Beaux Arts ball 1
tonight with Margaret Gold- 1
smith, Alpha Chi, with whom
he has been keeping steady
company for so long. «

Dissertation on Patriotism
J^EV. Richard M. Kleiner, a\1 io spoke in Gerlinger hall
Wednesday 11i*»• 111, Inis looked at Ilia American people
and found tliem lacking in patriotism. In definitive words
Ike reverend has indicated that- Ihe United States citizenry
is not inspired by devotion to the welfare of their country.
He also went on to explain by comparison that Americans
do not have so passionate a loyalty to the idea of democracy
ns the citizens of a totalitarian state have to the idea of
totalitarianism.
While we would agree, in a sense, with the charge that
Americans do not exhibit a great deal of patriotism, does
not the situation in Ibis country seem a great deal better than
in those nations where passionate loyalties are found?
* « « *
^^MERTCAN patriotism has almost always been outstand
ingly rational. The people have been able to scrutinize
their outbursts of “patriotism” based on passions and pro
paganda, and have come 1o a sound conclusion that these
arc not true devotion to the welfare of their country. The
ideal of democracy is based upon the rule of all Ihe people,
made possible by universal education, and brought to fruition
only after the entire public possesses understanding. In such
a theory of government there is room for loyalty, but cer
tainly not passionate loyalty based on emotions.
In contrast the idea of lotalitarion government has been
popularized by propaganda and emotional appeal. The people
have been given the promise of security and the uplift of
symbols, as Rev. Steiner points out. The loyalty they manifest
has not been produced by rational discussion and under
standing. Rather it has been brought about by presentation
of warped facts, and in many cases it is not loyalty at all,
hut rather forced toleration.
# * * * '
"WHILE Rev. Steiner undoubtedly did not mean to sug
gest that loyalty to democracy be created by the same
means as are practiced in Germany and Italy, to get enthus
iasm for their ideologies he failed to notice in the critical
s|)ii it of America one ol the fundamental bases of democracy;
lor it is only through this careful and reasonable scrutiny of
the government that democracy may be preserved.

WHEN BUSY, STRENUOUS days put your nerves
on the spot, take a tip from the wire fox terrier
pictured here. Despite his complex nerve system,
he quickly halts after activity, to relax —to ease his
nerves. Often, we humans ignore this instinctive
urge to break nerve tension. Vi’e may even dri\e
on relentlessly, forgetting that tiring nerves may
soon be jittery nerves! Yet the welfare of your
nerves is really vital to your success, to your happi
ness. Make it your pleasant rule to pause regularly
-to LET UP-LIGHT UP A CAMEL. Start today
—add an extra measure of comfort to your smok
ing with Camel's finer, costlier tobaccos.
HUNDREDS OF SKIERS have
made their debut to this winter
sport under Hans Thorner’s expert
guidance. One skiing principle he
stresses is: "Don’t let your nerves
get tense, keyed-up.” His advice to
pupils: "Pause regularly—let up
light up a Camel.”
