According to the survey 1- sorori leased in today’s Emerald. According to the survey 1- soror ities 'require their freshmen to be in the library 2d to 13d hours per week. Taking time out for 1b hours of classes means that the frosh of the few houses with minimum require ments are spending at least 10 hours per week in I lie libe. The rest of the libe “slaveys” arc required to spend up to 20 hours every seven days, with most meeting the maximum total. Unless we arc mistaken, about the only thing a sorority freshman gets 1o know better is her bed. In defense of these regulations sororities say they create good study habits, that they improve the grades of freshmen, and on the whole arc of educational value. II all these con tentions were true the system which requires at least 200 freshmen and pledges to spend more than 2000 study hours (estimating conservutivtdy) in the library might be of value. But tin' record does not indicate successful results. John Milton Levy Paul McCarty Wilbur Bishop Q1RLS’ eo-opcrativo houses, according In the grade stand ings released during 1 he past years, have consistently stood at the top of all enmpus living organizations. On very few oeeasions have sororities lopped t In*' (J1* As posted by the co-ops, in spite of the fa id. that the latter organizations have no requirements as to study in Ihe library. Among the three sororities without 1 ilx* study regulations, Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi Delta have rated high in the standings which have been released in the past. The value of the sorority regulations certainly does not pay off in grades, as Ihe general trend of Ol’As indicates. When the immeasurable benefits of improvement in study habits (the only oilier benefit received) are stacked up against the difficulties caused in the library by the sorority practice, defense of the system becomes all but impossible. # * # # ^JONDIT IONS in the library have been becoming increas ingly difficult this year, according to the testimony of library officials upon whom the burden of keeping order falls. They feel, and are in a position to judge fairly accurately, that a great measure of the trouble comes from these house regulations, which send a large number of students to the library when they do not need or want to use the library for its proper purpose. The resulting pandemonium makes the library a less effi cient place for the entire campus. The benefit allegedly re ceived by 200 sorority freshmen and pledges; lowers the value of the Jibe to the entire campus community. The sorority library study system has been challenged. The proponents of the rules must show the campus that they are concretely valuable. If they find it impossible to show the value of these methods (and we believe they cannot) the sororities must take over the problem of ereating study habits and improving grades in tlieil- own houses, rather than shunting tin* problem to harrassed library officials.

Messers Buckley and lleniges are, if you haven't heard them already, two gentlemen known in the box scores as “officials." Furthermore, they hold the rather strange dis tinction of being zealous about their job . . . and their job is to blow whistles. We might say. after witnessing the Idalm Oregon series last weekend, that these gotlemeu are not only zealous, but fanatically addicted to “whistlemia,” a condi tion which arises from swallowing the whistle, the result of which is a signal that some dastardly violation of the rules has been committed. We refuse to believe that even the most aggressive basketball players could be so consistently guilty as was indicated Saturday night b\ the whistlemia disease which the officials found so contagious. Ii ain't right, men, to play traffic cop on the basketball court at the expense ot the players, the coaches, and the cash customers, who ui the linaT analysis must be reckoned with as people who know the difference between logjeal offienting and ceaseless whistling. # # » * "Y”ES, there are rules, and the rules must be enforced. But, as we pointed out last year, and as no less a person than L. II. Gregory so aptly put it, are thev “Trving to Kill the Game?” Every year, sometimes two or three times a year, the northern division gets a mile-long headache over stupjd whistle-tooting but nothing is ever done about it. The cry is for more lenient interpretation of the rules, but the officials stick to the letter ol the law and impose a dictatorial complex on the game that leaves a permanent bad taste in the mouths Today Is Coronation Day Emerald Artist fialph Wondalf . . . Rives his impression oftne bought on every girl's mind today. of everyone concerned. Probably pail of 1 ho blame belongs 1o Die coaches, who usually ins!ruet Ibe officials before the game how close they want the rules called. It is well known that Ihe southern division conference interprets foul-calling only to the point where an actual foul—and one that actually hinders the immediate play—is committed. The only criticism of that comes during the play-off series when the northern team invariably finds itself handicapped by refereeing that is quite foreign to their habits on the floor, but the handicap is reversed the following year when the southern team comes north and find officiating too strict. A medium could most certainly be found, and during the recent Washington series, handled by the same Frank Ileniges, plus Emil Piluso, Oregon fans had a good sample of it. The whistle-tooting then was at a minimum and the game was anything but rough; players were too busy trying to score points 1o take the time and effort to unnecessarily foul opponents. Much praise was heard of Ihe officiating during that series. Yet the following week officiating completely ruined the game and the spec tators almost unanimously declared that “foul" ought to he spelled “ fowl.’’ If that's basketball, sirs, you can play it in a circus. »X< # # s)’f [^AST year we made a suggest ion, and we again repeat it... someone of authority ought to call a conference of north ern and southern division coaches and officials and clarify the interpretation of rules before the season begins, thus ironing out the discrepancy that exists in the Pacific coast conference basketball officiating. It ought to he one way or the other, regardless of “tradition.” Our last hope is that such incongruous officiating does not occur during the championship play-off when those past masters of publicity, the Californians, flock to Eugene (we hope) lor basket ha 11.' We are quite sure that neither Mr. Hobson nor any oilier coach would want to win a champion ship with a whistle.—Y.O. TALKING !t Over As one of my fraternity bro thers once remarked, “Love is the grandest emotion outside of eating and sleeping.” At any rate, it gets you! From the looks of things, gets most of the guys and gals on the cam pus sooner or later. And it's important. After all, what do you come down here to school lot ? To get hitched, of course, lint how much time and thought do you fellows give to the mat ter of wooing the gal? And vice-versa. If you spend no more time on your girl friend than you do on your studies you'll get nowhere. Give her a thought once in a while. Now all seriousness aside, it's a joking . . . excuse me . . . no joking matter. It's one of the major problems of life . . . this matter of winning a wo man. There are several ways you can go about this. Some approved. Some otherwise. Take your choice. » * * First, there is the line. How is your line today? If it's the same one grandad used when he was a kid, you need a change. Just like you gotta change the oil in a car once in a while. The line is the oii of love-mak ing. So for Pete’s sake, change it every thousand miles at least. The girls like variety. Don’t disappoint them. How would you like to have to stand by a sorority house door night after night and hear a dozen different persons say, “You're . . . you’re beautiful!” She knows that. If she doesn’t, she thinks she does. Of if she just plain isn't beautiful and you pull that one . . . well, you won’t last long'! So be original once in a while. If you can tell the truth occasionally and have it sound nice, all the better! Now there is the smooth technique of using subtle flat tery, and the other one, i.e., to just tell her you love her. This latter method requires deter mination and will power on the part of the user to be effective. You’ve gotta start out by “tell ing' the gal” and keep “telling” her. You do the talking'. It's a grand sensation ... if you ever get a chance to indulge in it. * * * About now it might be well to have some model to follow to pattern your love-making af ter. I suggest the one and only real KING OF HEARTS, in creaser of the pulse rate, and lochinvar exbraoK Unary . . . G E O G E (Blackjack 1 PA SERO. George, incidentally, is the Emerald’s nomination for that distinguished honor, King of Hearts. Just listen to his line sometime . . . excuse me. it’s not a line, he's serious when he says he loves a gal. And that is the secret, fellows, to appear se rious no matter what. It will make you think twice before you whisper, “You’re the cutest kid in all this college" in some coed's ear. Maybe. In closing, John Pink used to say. “If you can't slay 'em with a line, use a club!" This force ful method will produce results, I assure you. Just what kind . . . well, let's not go into that. Looking Back.... WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago—Werner Asen dorf, German exchange student, wrote in his column, “Strange Land": “A man who smokes cigar ettes is a born revolutionary. He likes changes. A man who smokes a pipe is a he-man. “Women who smoke cigar ettes have themselves under control. They think.” * # ■* Five years ago—The dean of women established a new in spection system, whereby UO coeds were inspected by their respective house mothers before going out in the evening, to see that they were wearing enough clothes. The “well dressed” coed wore panties, a brassiere, and a slip. Low-backed dresses were taboo. * * # Ten years ago The Pi Phis won the dime crawl contest, netting $14.70. The Alpha Chi Os rated second, and the Alpha Phis, third. Total proceeds were $179.02. Twenty-five years ago—There were 1247 students enrolled in the University, including 15 states, Japan, India, Germany, Greece, Alaska, and the Canal Zone. A dog fight in the Deady basement broke up all the 1 o'clock classes in that building. Fraternity house managers will meet at 6 tonight at the Phi Psi house.

Fol lowing a recent appointment of the Gleemen as official Oregon repre sentatives at the San Francisco world’s fair, the Cavemen issued a strong word of protest, and argued that the Gleemen were a bunch of “sopranos.” The Cavemen demonstrated their famous tiger call and after luring the tiger out of the hall onto the stage, proceeded to butcher it and lunch boisterously on its flesh. Many news photographers were present to catch the final ceremony of the presentation of a passport through the lands of the Cavemen as the Gleemen journey to the fair this summer. Gleeman President Charles E. Hunt complied with the rough Cavemen’s ceremony of eating the raw flesh and drinking the symbol ic. blood from a hollow tree branch, before he received a large jawbone that is scheduled to serve as a passport through the Cavemen’s domain.
