Girls Go Out
After Men By
Advertising
By HOPE DONDERO
The following ads, the first from
the Yale News, show the alarming
results when coeds get publicity
minded:
Three scorching, seductive,
SMITH GIRLS with their own
tickets want dates after the Har
vard game with reasonably clean
shaven Yale men. (Sorry, no fresh
men or boys in short pants.)
And the second from the In
diana Daily Student:
“I AM BLOND, blue-eyed and
beautiful and in the mood to ac
cept bids to the Tri-Kappa Char
ity ball. Escorts must be tall, dark,
and handsome. Reach me at the
commons any afternoon this week.
I will be wearing a gardenia. Or
chids are really my favorite flow
ers.” The line forms to the right.

New Course
Northwestern university is of
fering- a special series of lectures
on how to fill out income tax
blanks.
So There!
As a result of recent conflict
and interchanges of uncomplimen
tary opinions in Denver univer
sity, because the college of com
merce wanted a full page of the
Denver Clarion exclusive, this paid
advertisement appeared in last
week’s Clarion: “Commerce IS SO
a Good School.”

Lawyers to 'Conform’
In This Year’s Brawl
The law school student body, in an effort to adjust the type of
its dance to the demand of its public, continued yesterday to roll
along with its poll of campus opinion. This question was asked a
number of University girls: “What does the Oregon coed think of
law school dances?”
The results of the poll, the barristers claim, showed that the
Oregon coed is entirely favorable to law school dances. About 0 per
cent of the coeds approved the affairs in all respects, includnig:
sobriety, decorum, and gentlemanly conduct, it was asserted.
What the would-be lawyers characterize as “a slight miscon
ception of the nature of the dances” was revealed in the replies of
a few, representing only about 1 per cent of the total number
interviewed.
To show how “completely mistaken they are,” the barristers
offered some of the alleged comemnts:
Betty Jane Moore: “I have never been to one; but I would like
to go if I had a suit of armor and a bodyguard.”
Phyllis Gardner: “Get out the stretchers and the ice packs.”
Virginia Tooze: “A law school dance is a conclusive argument
for the return of prohibition.”
An unknown commentator stated: “Law school dances are just
too, too, vibrating. But wearing a strapless formal to one of them
would be like tossing catnip into a cage of tigers.”
The lawyers are quite satisfied with the results of the poll. In
order to keep their reputations free from blemish, they plan to have
their dance in keeping with the best Emily Post tradition. Sergeant
at-arms Tony Amato will politely but forcefully eject anyone who
becomes in the least boisterous or noisy, it was announced.
Onthank Says Jobs
Require Registration
Cooperation of
Student Necessary,
Says Dean
Asserting that jobs may be had
if students will but put forth a
little effort to make application,
Dean of Personnel Karl W. On
thank yesterday urged University
students to make known their
wishes for work now.
Citing a recent example of one
student who had been forced to
leave school this term because of
lack of funds, and yet when ques
tioned admitted that he had neg
lected to register with employment
secretaries, Onthank declared that
“students must cooperate.”
Miss Janet Smith, employment
secretary, is the person to contact
concerning work, the personnel
secretary said, adding that she also
will accept applications from grad
uating seniors interested in work
after graduation this June.
Many employers throughout this
section of the country have on file
already in her office demands for
qualified students to fill openings
in their businesses.

Clergyman Speaker
On Love, Marriage
Is All-Around Fellow
- He may be a bishop now, but take a look at the “typical American
boy” college record of Oregon’s first lecturer of the 1939 love and
marriage series.
The pages of the college diary of Bishop W. P. Remington of the
Eastern Oregon diocese of the Episcopal church, might well be that
of any campus hero today.
President of his class, four years on the college newspaper at the
University of Pennsylvania, traca
star for four years, prominent de
bater, assistant manager of the
football team, a loyal fraternity
man, baseball—all these figured in
his colorful college career at
Penn U.
Ex-Olympian
The Oregon bishop was also a
member of the second Olympic
team which competed in Paris in
1900.
Looking back on college life re
cently, Bishop Remington added,
"Oh yes, incidentally I managed to
get my degree of bachelor of sci
ence in the end." Since leaving the
Pennsylvania school, he graduated
from the Virginia Theological
seminary in Alexandria, Virginia,
and followed graduation with min
isterial work in Philadelphia and
social settlement employment in
other parts of Pennsylvania.
He served in the World war, and
holds the honor of being the only
bishop in his church to be conse
crated with a uniform beneath his
Episcopal robes.
After the war, he spent several
years among the Indians of South
Dakota’s Black hills, and in 1922
came to Oregon, where he has
lived since.
Arrives Friday
Scheduled to arrive Friday,
Bishop Remington admitted re
cently in a letter to Dean of Per
sonnel Karl W. Onthank that he
intended to get several rounds of
golf into his full week’s schedule
on the campus. Tuesday morning
he will speak to an 11 o’clock Ger
linger assembly on the subject,
“Home Sweet Home, or Just a
Hangout.”

'Oregon Limited'
Party Derailed by
Loss of Gerlinger
The Oregon Ltd., which was to
have transported coeds to the Riv
iera, this Thursday night, for their
annual Coed Capers, has been tem

yesterday.
It was learned today that Ger

Riviera is a much more beautiful
place in the spring, and coeds in
their new spring clothes can turn
it into a colorful spring fashion
parade.”
The theme of the Capers, the
Riviera ball, will not be changed,
so girls may take advantage of the
additional time to practice the
techniques of their favorite movie
stars.
All ticket sale representatives

Small Poll Reveals More About UO Coeds
By BETTY HAMILTON
Since the Oregon State men
have taken it upon themselves
to expose in the Barometer what
they dislike about the Oregon
State coeds, here’s what the
Oregon males have to say re
garding the average Oregon
coed.
Flash! From five law school
students: “We’ve got the best
looking girls this side of the
mountains, and what’s more, ten
per cent of them have brains!”
was their conclusion.
Kaapcke’s Girls Better
“I think they are fine—every
one of them, but, of course I
never go out with the average
coed,” said Wally Kaapcke.
Several fellows spoke of the
majority of Oregon coeds as be
ing artificial and giddy. Jason
Lee says, “The Oregon coed as
a whole is very artificial and of
a tinsel type, but of course there
are exceptions." Willie Williams
thought so, too. “Many of them
are artificial,” he said.
Wagner Won’t Talk
Bob Wagner says, “You could
n’t print what I think of the av
erage coed.”
Jim Schriver’s opinion was,
“ Most of the Oregon coeds are
too flippant and like to have
their cake and eat it too.”
That the average coed talks
and gossips too much was listed
by several men as being disgust
ing. They said that many's the
time they had taken out sorority
girls, and all they had heard all
evening was what her sorority
sisters said, or what so and so
had done. Dale Mallicoat and
“Manny” Moore agreed with
those boys in saying, “The gals
talk too much.”
Sloppiness Outrages Two
“Bunny” Butler and Wendell
Wyatt remarked on the sloppi
ness and untidiness of the coeds.
In “Bunny’s” opinion the aver
age coed cares more for the col
lege hangouts than she does for
her education.
Elmer Hanson and Eddie Aver
ill listed the California girls as
being “plenty OK.” Elmer used
the word "wonderful” in describ
ing the average run of California
women.
According to a number of men,
many of the coeds are snobbish
and inclined to think they are
“big shots” when they aren’t
even “a drop in the bucket.”
Russ Iseii was one of the boys
who disliked this provincial atti
tude.
Two IJke “Friendliness”
Erie Swanson and Hal Morgan
liked the average Oregon coed's
friendliness and thought the
"Oregon coeds were plenty OK.”
Denny Donovan mentioned his
dislike of the wooden shoes the
girls were wearing, while a sen
ior, passing by, said in a dis
gusted tone, “Well, you can’t live
without them so why talk about
them ?”
Hobson's Crew Tips
Husky Five, 57-49
Anet Tells of Team’s
Rituals, Superstitions
By SALLY MITCHELL
When the ten capable hands of the Oregon basketball team are
clasped together in the huddle which precedes the opening gun of a
game, what are the final words that pass between the players?
Bobby Anet, captain of the team, explains it all when he says, “If
one of the fellows knows a good story he tells it, to sort of relax the
players. Then, of course, we always decide on the tip-off play in the
opening play. Anet says the cus
tom is an old one which the boys
are a little bit superstitious about
skipping? for fear they will lose a
game.
Shouting Doesn't Bother Them
Bobby says the team is never
affected by the shouting of the
crowds, or the antics of the root
ing section. "The only thing we
don't like is the booing,” he said.
Although the girls’ and boys’ root
ing sections in most schools are
together, Bobby likes the arrange
ment in McArthur court. "When all
the girls sit on one side, you’ve got
a chance to get a pretty good look
at them,” he said.
No Use Arguing
Very often a player becomes
indignant at the decisions of an
official, Bobby said, “but even if
we know they’re wrong it doesn’t
do any good to argue with them, so
we don't.” Sometimes players who
harbor individual grudges for years
engage in a little unnecessary
roughness on the floor, Anet ob
served, but such occurrences are
comparatively rare.
Like Home Games
Bobby says the team prefers to
play on its own floor, “but,” he
added, “it seems that we’ve played
our best games away from home.”
“Did our trip back each do us
any harm? No,” Anet replied. “If
anything, it improved our playing.
Without that trip we wouldn’t be
where we are today.”
Even before a crucial game the
team displays very little nervous
ness, Anet said. “That’s probably
because the fellows have played so
much basketball in grade school,
high school, and college, that
they’re pretty used to public ap
pearances.”
Dean Morse Will
Hear Labor Case
Wayne L .Morse, dean of the
University law school, will leave

Longshoremen’s and Warehouse
men’s union and the Waterfront
Employers' association. He has di
rect charge of the San Francisco
area and acts in a supervisory ca
pacity over the ports of San Pe
dro, Seattle, and Portland.

Duck's Overcome
Washington Lead
For Eighth Win
Second Period Shots
Pour in Fast; Gale
High Point Man
By ELBERT HAWKINS
Emerald Sports Editor
Oregon and Washington
staged a rollicking basket-sling
ing bee at McArthur court last
night before over 6,000 excited,
customers with first place in
the northern division at stake.
And at the finish it was Oregon
57, Washington 49, with Hobby
Hobson’s Webfoots providing a
late push to win.
Until tonight at 8 o’clock the
Oregon Ducks will remain the
league’s “gallopingest” team.
For Hec Edmundson’s Huskies
it was their first defeat of the
season, and it came after they had
piled up a temporary first half
lead of 22 to 14 over the Ducks.
Huskies Lead Early
At half-time the Washingtons
were still running ahead, 27 to 24,
but it took the scampering Ore
gons only one minute and five
seconds of the second half to catch
up, and from then to the finish
they out - galloped and out - drove
"Uncle Hec’s” scrappy Huskies.
The clubs cast off for an aggre
gate total of 153 shots. Oregon led
in that department only 77 to 76,
and only 22 to 21 in field goals.
But Hobby’s boys got their extra
margin from the foul line where
they collected 13 points.
The rivals maintained a hurri
cane pace of drive, drive through
the contest, to the obvious delight
of the season’s largest crowd—be
tween 6000 and 7000.
Feverish Face
For the first four minutes and
ten seconds of the second half the
Webfoots and the Huskies went
practically berserk, accumulating
a total of 21 points between them.
Oregon got 13 in that short space
of time, and came out of it with a
37 to 35 lead.
Washington never again got
abreast of the victory-hungry
Ducks.
It took Laddie Gale, Oregon’3
scoring wizard, only 40 seconds to
erase Washington half-time lead.
He first collected a free throw on
Ziegenfuss’ foul, and then hoisted
in a one-hander from out to the
right of the keyhole.
Tied at 29-all
It got to 29-all and then they
started throwing baskets every ten
or fifteen seconds. Two-year vet
eran Pat Dorsey, guard, potted a
long one, back came John
Dick for Oregon, and then it was
Ziegenfuss for Washington with a
fake and a lay-in. At the four
minute mark, John Dick popped in
a pass from Laddie Gale to make it
Oregon 37, Washington 35. The
Huskies called time out.
The second half drive of Ore
gon’s hotshots, with Laddie Gale,
John Dick, and Slim Wintermute
carrying the brunt of the scoring
burden, was a replica of the
famous Oregon - Washington gal
lops of the past.

Architecture Classes
Build Garden Plans
Miniature rock gardens composed of clay, sand, cardboard, rocks,
and imitation alpine plants are developing under the hands of Dr. F. A.
Cuthbert’s students in the plant composition class, representing models
of actual gardens.
Designed for the growth of rare alpine plants, the gardens are
arranged so that drainage, exposure, and soil conditions of the gardens
would De ravorame tor their
growth.
Rocks set in modeling clay on
cardboard foundations make the
plan of the gardens. Moss, lichens,
liver worts, and small pieces of
fir placed among the rocks repre
sent the alpine plants of various
types. One garden is decorated
with pieces of sponge, another with
acasia foliage to represent ferns.
The plants which are small but
produce large blooms are painted
to represent the actual flowers.
Few of the gardens have trees in
them because of the unfavorable
results of too much shade of the
plants.
The general plan of the gardens
contains a stream and a path
which crosses one corner. After the
construction of the model, the gar
den plan will be traced on glass,
then on paper.
