Joe Says, fIt Can Happen Here'
I dashed into my office, locked the door and
leaned back against it, puffing and blowing. Sit
ting at my desk was Joe Soap, a demonical grin
on his face.
"Hullo editor,” he chuckled. "I see that they
almost caught up with you. Now you know how I
felt.”
"Just about, Joe,” I panted, trying to catch
my breath. "Some of the bloc boys down at the
DU house were going to throw me in the millrace.”
"What you should have done,” he wagged his
finger at me, "was to let them go ahead with
it. Think of the story it would have made. T ran see
the headline now EMERALD EDITOR AT
TACKED BY BLOC POLITICIANS. Boy, what a
story!”
„ “Yes, it would make a good story,” I admitted,
“but what good would it do. I've been talking for
half an hour steady until I'm blue in the face. All
they will say is ‘sure, the bloc system is bad, but
what are you going to do about it.’ They’re con
vinced that nothing will improve the present set
up. Some of them even try to argue that the bloc
gets the best man in office, that it's the only way
to run student government. Maybe I’m just an
idealist, but I think, or at least I thought, that
a democratic student government could be or
ganized.”
"Don’t let them get you down,” Joe put in
cheerily. “It can happen here.”
"What do you mean?” I queried. “A dictator
ship?”
"Nuts,” said Joe disgustedly. "You know what
I mean. The bloc system can be broken up. It’s
rotten to the core now. It’s been running student
government down-hill for years. It rests on a shaky
basis. It doesn't do anybody in particular any good.
It doesn’t elect the best man. In fact ”
“I know,” I interrupted him, "it stinks.”
"Exactly," Joe smiled in a very satisfied man
ner. "Now if you would only let me get into this
battle. Why I could tell some talcs that would turn
everything topsy-turvy."
"Keep calm Joe. I have got myself into enough
complications without having any more deals like
you got us into,” T answered.
"Maybe you're right, editor," he said. "I always
was a bit impetuous. But keep up the battle. I’ll
be plugging for you.”
Round V About
With WEN BROOKS
I amble up to the editor, sec, and say, “Deutsch,
I can't write a column tonight. There’s nothing
to write about. Sorry.” And immediately a dozen
voices chorus, "We’re not!” That's how a column
ist is appreciated! But Deutsch wants a column
whether there’s anything to write about or not.
That’s beside the point. "The paper couldu’t be any
worse,” he says encouragingly, and after looking'
at one of his editorials 1 think maybe lie's right
so I sit down to my peck-writer and start in.
It goes like this:
* * *
Flash! Cupid scores a home run. Latest bache
lor to go out of circulation, ladies, is Irvin Maun,
married a week ago to the old home town sweet
heart, Norma Peterson . . . now Mrs. Irvin 1,.
Mann! Congratulations . . . both of you! And then
I start philosophizing. First it's doorbells, then
wedding bells, finally flrst-of-the-month bills.
Maybe hatching ain’t so bad at that! Except that
the guy you’re supposed to be eating with happens
to prefer the \lpha 1 ’hi house. And him saving
he'd never get serious about any girl! Yah'
* • *
And the Alpha Phi house seems to attract a
lot of the Betas. There are the Reid sisters, Babbs
and Doris . . . with Don "Happy Boy” Turner and
John W, "Jackson” Smith. And Johnny McGowan
and Eloise Gunn. And the Duden-Pearson com
bination, of course. And there must be others.
Beta’s Loehinvar, Hal "Dick Jergens" Drayton,
still seems to prefer the Kappas, however. Dorothy
Kairhurst continues one of the most popular girls
in the sorority on the race. They call her "Ducky.”
What d’you call her, Ehrman?

Williams asking the name of that cute Kappa
townie, Ruth Hall. Tom, incidentally, does not like
publicity, fio ahead and say it . . . much! And
having phone duty every night this week has been
kind of hard on lh-1 l iter lint it ought to gi\e
Kina Johnson a breathing spill. Before 1 forget
it ... two coeds planned a nice little joy ride for
Kappa Sig’s Bob Norris night before last. Phoned
the boy, who was at the Oreguna, that they were
out of gas out by the Coburg bridge. It was ten.
Would he please hurry so they could get in on
time! As if that would worry the girls! Betty
Norwood and bright-eyes Kneass gave themselves
away, however . . . saving Norris the ride.

I’ll try to get the faculty to allow for smokin in

What Other Editors Believe
A RIBBON FOR THE EMERALD
That the Oregon Emerald, student publication
of the University of Oregon, should have been
selected as one of the outstanding college news
papers of the country, is gratifying but not sur
prising.
The surprise would have Como if it had not
been so recognized; for the make-up and the con
tent of the Emerald set a consistently high stand
ard by comparison with other college publications,
and even by comparison with a good many dailies.
There is always some misjudgment of such college
papers by those who pick them up casually. The
casual outsider finds the columns given over in
considerable part to sorority and fraternity events
which ho considers unimportant, and frequently
the paper, as a paper, is condemned without due
reflection upon the fact that to the collegians these
are important matters.
It is true that some of the college papers do an
injustice to the minds of their readers by' giving
them little else but campus news; and it is one
of the virtues of the Emerald that it attempts to
keep the students abreast of outside events even
against their will. We do not doubt that this admir
able balance was taken into consideration by the
judges m putting the Emerald on the distinguished
list that and the consistently good editing and
attractive typography. The Oregonian.
campus at present seems to be Sigma Chi’s Oliver
Mackey who burns up around $20 every month on
phone calls alone, 1 hear. And a letter most every
day to the girl who is in Nashville, Tennessee.
She will attend Oregon next year, rumors have it.
One way of economizing . . . and a good one! Bill
Scott is another boy who writes home regularly
. . . and 1 don't mean to his mother. And SAE’s
Jack Giesy still has an interest in the Tri Delt
house . . . or has he ?
* * *
By the way, if you're surprised one of these
nights in Hendricks park by a flash bulb going
off *n your face, don’t be alarmed. It will probably
be just one of the Green Goose photographers.
That most worthy publication will be out the
week before finals, I hear. A lot can happen be
tween now and then. A lot has happened already!
The boy who seems to have forgotten his steady
in Portland for a musical number. And . . . but
shucks, this isn't the Green Goose!
* * »
It appears to still ho smooth sailing; for Jack
M('Clung and Barbara “our girl" Campbell, cute
IHi. And Clmek Eaton continues that way about
queenly Maxine Glad. While the Emerald editor
to-be has been seen in the company of Marge
I inuegun quite a bit. And some old sayings still
hold: an dive is like a kiss.. me . .
a kiss is like an olive. The first is hard to get but
after that they come easy. In closing 1 must men
tion one nickname . . . Blanche “Grade Vilen”
Brown ... it really Bl'KNS her!
The CALLIOPE..
By BILL CUMMINGS
Strengthened by the enthusiastic endorsement
of several leading figures in student government,
the movement to discard bloc politics and give
every student a voice is steadily gaining momen
tum.
Lloyd Hoffman, Kappa Sig prexy, was one of
the most enthusiastic endorsers of the plan. Yes
terday he said he heartily agreed with a wide open
election in which every student who wished to
run could have the privilege.
“What we need is a gentleman’s agreement
among all politicians that no blocs shall he
formed,” he said. “The minute any under-eover
movement is started to line up votes, such action
should he reported immediately to the editor or
the Emerald. I’ll run for president myself if every
one agrees to carry through with the idea.”
* * *
ASTTO Prexy Harry Weston said yesterday
before leaving for Seattle that breaking down the
bloc system, if it can be accomplished, is a fine
idea. He indicated that he has always been op
posed to bloc politics and that he believes every
student should be free to make up his own mind
when it comes to voting.
Hal Jahn, Sigma Chi politician and chairman
of Junior weekend, agreed that the theory of bloc
politics is wrong, and that the ideal setup would
be complete freedom among the students in cast
ing their ballots.
Roy Verjistrom, Delt prexy, has voiced his in
tention of running for student body president un
der the best-man-win system. He "hates bloc pol
itics.”
Jack Dunn, ATO politician, agrees with the
theory of the non-bloc system and feels that every
student should be given a voice in student affairs*.
* * *
Talk among the sororities has revealed as much
interest in the new plan as is found in the frater
nities and men’s dorms. Elisabeth Stetson, past
president of the AWS, and Anne Frederiksen,
present AWS head, both enthusiastically endorse
the idea.
Bernadine Bowman, prominent in interdorm
politics, said from her sickbed in the infirmary
yesterday that she will give her full support to
the campaign to break down bloc politics. Clair
Hoflich and John Biggs have already given their
endorsement.
Betty Lou Kurtz, Chi Omega prexy and presi
dent of heads of houses, said she favors a non
bloc campaign and heartily endorses the plan to
give every student a hand in government. Carolyn
Dudley, Tri Delt prexy, likewise said she favors
the campaign to allow everyone who is eligible
and qualified to run for positions on the executive
committee.
Willi endorsement from such student leaders
as these, and with the principles of the reform so
obviously right, the success of the plan rests in
the hands of the students. Every ASUO eard hold
er should be vitally interested. His vote is as pow
erful as the next man's.
Here is the challenge: Start thinking! Break
down bloc politics and make up your own mind
who to vote for. You bought an interest in student
government when you purchased your ASUO eard.
Use that card to your own advantage and to the
best interests of the University.

Back....

U.S. Students Impress
Visiting French Architect
By MARIE BOJE
Guy Arciilouze, French architect
traveling on the Delano and Al
drich fellowship, has been on the
campus six days — just long
enough to gather a few general
impressions.
Informally perched on one of the
high stools used by student archi
tects, the witty young French
man chatted amiably in his native
tongue. (Since Ardilouze speaks
some English and the reporter
speaks little French, Eyler Brown,
associate professor of architecture,
pulled up another stool and acted
as interpreter.)
Frankness Marked
The brilliant architect declared
that he was struck w-ith the open
ness and .frankness of the students,
their freedom of action, and espe
cially their diversified interests.
Entirely new to him also is the at
titude of confidence and friendly
exchange between the students
and the professors—a thing which
does not exist in the same sense
in the school of France.
When asked if the American
money system bothered him, Ardil
ouze explained that the French
system and that used in this coun
try are basically the same—that
the only trouble he has with the
money is counting it to make it
last.
Men’s Clothes in Rut
What appears to the Frenchman
to be a curious situation is his
good-natured observance that in
America, particularly in New York,
a man may not wear what he
wants to. Any deviation from usual
styles, he remarks, causes Ameri
cans to stare. He has noticed that
the women here, like in France,
have more freedom with then
choice of clothing than the men.
An excellent collection of Ardil
ouze's water colors, which he adds
to by painting each section of the
country that he visits, is exhibited
in the architecture room of the
art school.
The Frenchman will leave this
Students Sketch Frescos
On UO Art School Walls
Walter Eliott. Don Boyd, Lily
aim Veatch, Bob Swan, and Earl
Scott these five will go down in
history as students who executed
the five frescoes in the art school
patio.
"It's an awful lot of work, but
really lots of fun,” seems to be
the general opinion about the long
hours of planning and actual work
necessary to sketch a fresco.
An Intricate Process
The process is a complicated and
very interesting one. After taking
off the old plaster from the bricks,
a fresh layer of smooth plaster is
applied. Then the full size drawing
(that took all last term to com
plete! is used in a process called
“punching,” whereby small holer
are made in the plaster to guide
the artist in roughly sketching the
fresco.
Since the method of fresco-mak
ing is to apply dry pigment to wet
plaster with a brush dipped in
Imie water, only a comparatively
small section of the composition is
done at once. This prevents drying
of the plaster before the artist is
finished.
Two More Weeks
Most of the frescos will be com
pleted in about two weeks, as the
artists are working long hours at
the jobs.
They don't seem to mind being
watched while they work, and at
least one of them can be found
most of the time—so if you crave
nice, peaceful entertainment, just
drop by.
To add variety, one of the five is
left-handed and two are redl
headed.
PROMINENT GRAD VISITS

sity of Minnesota, was a campus

Seibert Lands
’Shavetail’ Job
Marine Corps Post
Awarded Senior
Cadet Colonel
Announcement of the selection
of Luther Seibert as the graduat
ing senior from the University
ROTC ranks who will receive a
regular second lieutenant’s com
mission in the United States ma
rine corps was made yesterday by
Col. Robert M. Lyon, commandant
of the University ROTC.
Colonel Lyon announced that
Seibert had been picked as the
principal and Fred R. Findtner as
alternate in accordance with an
announcement received by the mil
itary department from the navy
department in Washington, D. C.,
nearly a month ago, informing
them that the University of Ore
gon had been picked as one of the
schools to select two candidates
for the marine corps.
Erb Selects Men
The selections were made by Dr.
Donald M. Erb, president of the
University, upon the recommenda
tion of Colonel Lyon.
Seibert will be ordered to a ma
rine station, probably at Bremer
ton, Washington, where he will re
ceive his final examination. All the
men, who applied, have already
passed a physical examination. If
Seibert passes the more rigid ex
amination at the marine station,
he will receive his commission and
be ordered to active duty as a sec
ond lieutenant of the corps at the
U. S. Marine barracks at Phila
delphia, Pennsylvania.
Findtner will also go to the ma
rine station to take the physical
examination and in the event that
Seibert, or a principal, from some
other school which did not select
an alternate, fails to pass the ex
amination, he will receive his com
mission.

the most beautiful created by an
