No pledge pin or ribbon fell to their lot A TiTIIOTTGII there may have been other reasons for their non-inelusion, the most obvious is that there could not be room for everyone. Almost seven hundred hopefuis weni through rush week, but only five hundred of these achieved their end, pledging as per schedule. The quota system, which limits membership totals, kept out many. I here are only a limited number of houses, and in each of these there are only a certain number of rooms, beds, and Hie other necessary facilities to proper living. The demand far exceeds the supply. Tin 1ATI5Visit may have been the cause of non-pledging, non-pledgers need not feel that whatever has happened is either calamitous or final. Many fine I niversify careers have been carved out by individuals who never worse any Greek emblems, as in the ease ol Barney Hall, student body prexy two yea'rs ago. After all, the I diversity itsell is the main attraction, and this is open to all, whether Greeks or otherwise. Newcomers will soon find that there is almost unlimited room for all their efforts, that they will be able to go in any direction they desire. Out of these things may come the greatest satisfaction of all. that ol success through honest endeavor. • AS for Hie finality, freshmen will have other opportunities, with four full years ahead of them. Others also will have* other chances. And in all probability many a mind will be changed drastically before many weeks have rolled by. Much more could be said along these lines, but it would all amount to the same thing- the world does not come to an end with the end of rush week. All of college lies ahead. It’s 1 he same old story. 'Oregonizc/ or, Watcti It Grow \X/llEN it comes to slogans which arc catchy and vet hold a world of meaning it would seem that those who are planning the current ANUO memhership drive have really picked a winner. “Oregonizc," they say, and much as de fenders of fine English may protest, “Oregonizc" may ho looked at in the light of inspiration. •^yilAT the “Orcgonizers” are out for is a student body membership to include the greater percentage of eli gihles. Frankly, they want to sell student body cards. But in easting about for the best means of doing this they have- hit upon something which will live when the membership drive has signed its last ASFO subscriber. 'jpi 1E University of Oregon stands poised ready to plunge into another great year, as usual the greatest ever: for as the University grows it accomplishes more and more, and it cannot be denied that it is growing. All anyone has to do is watch enrollment figures, as well as other indicators. J^EWCOMEES to the campus (‘specially might find much for their own futures in this simple slogan. As long as limy remember always to “Oregonizc" they will be “on their toes" and attentive to the good of the school. rJ'MlEKE is a spark here, a spark which is always active. It is a spark which makes one feel that there are things to be done for the University, that there is move to it than only the using of the school as an instrument toward getting an education. The closer to the heart and pulse of the school the individual can get the more he will get out of a career there. One of the best and quickest ways to get that feelings of “belonging" is by student body membership. With ASt'O membership the road is open to a multitude of events and activities not otherwise available. EEGONIZE" should be lifted bodily from the ANUO sellers when their campaign is concluded, and it should be expanded upon and permanently retained. Strongly remi niscent ot days when “Greater Oregon” was the University's rallying-erv, this new idea is good. It provokes the imagina tion. It is good. 1 Imre will he “Oregonizing" going on this year and from now on. YOUR EYES ARE PRICELESS . .

MEADE, Optometrist Phone 330 I4W. 8th The SHOW OFF By NORMAN FOSTER Note of explanation . . . Comes now the time when per haps we should explain the whys and wherefores of this column. Napoleon had Josephine, Ceasar had Cleopatra, and the Duke had Wally but our inspiration was a song. We liked it, she liked it, and it was fun to watch the tune we eulogized "And the Angels Sing" climb to first place on the Hit Parade. And so the idea for this literary masterpiece was created, i We attempted to predict what wax-works should be on the ex change-deserters "must” list. And also what tunes would, ten years hence, remind the energetic pig gers of the night, the girl, the place, and the song. The idea grew, and we tried to give the chance reader a backstage glimpse of the entertainment world. We liked that, as "entertainment" can be defined as anything from the view from Skinner’s Butte to night life in Hollywood. We are fairly fam iliar with the latter, being as how we grew up amid the bright lights of the film capitol. About the only phase of entertainment we haven’t set in printer’s ink is that of cam pus politics, and v/e may stoop to that yet. Poem . . . I've loved and lost And wooed and won In either case I calls it fun. (NOT original.) Whew! . . . Eugene theatre advertisement— "Unexpected Father” with “The Five Peppers.” What? With all five? Packed! . . . According to reports, the so i called pledge ball at the Eugene I hotel night before last was quite a j success, at least as far as the at 1 tendance went. The nearest we I came to the dance floor was the cloak room and that was even a litttle crowded. Kaldor’s orchestra was fair, for those that got near enough to hear him. However, he, like many of the other orchestra leaders who have played the cam pus, was inclined to “swing" too many tunes, all of which makes dancing practically impossible in such a limited space. Busy Signal! . . . While delving into the field of entertainment, we might malte mention of Sunny Stanke’s private phone. For those hopefuls who w'ou’cl be interested, the number is 3820. Should you, by chance, rind the line busy, just, cal) the Sigma Kappa house. Phoey to you! . . . When Ernest Ilaycox was in Hollywood this summer, Sammy Goldwyn wanted him to go to Tahiti to work up a story. Haycox, an Oregon alum, wrote “Stage coach” and "Southern Pacific.” Anyhow, Goldwyn offered to pay all expenses of the trip and a huge salary besides. Said Ernest Hay cox, “But Sammy, the wife and I don’t like Tahiti." And with that, he packed up and left for Portland. Unusual California Weather— “The Rains Came.” The age-old mysticism of India v/ith its suffering millions, behind a modern India with its enlightened scholars and maharajahs- -such are the dramatic contrasts in “The Rains Came,” Louis Bromfield’s best-seller, which will appear at the McDonald soon. The picture closely follows the book which is an oddity in itself for Hollywood j and after a slow start the film is crammed with actions and you leave the theater tingling with ex citement after viewing earthquake, fire, flood, plague, and famine sequences. | Tyrone Power, Myrna Loy,, George Brent and Brenda Joyce head the cast and all turn in com petent performances. Myrna Loy, i who plays Lady Esketh, the wo-! man without morals, has her first part in years that does not type her as the “model wife or sweet heart.” Brenda Joyce, a UCLA coed, was chosen from 58 girls for her part and she leaves a good im pression although she had never faced a movie camera before. Maria Ouspenkaya, the old-time Russian stage actress, often comes to the rescue with her histrionic ability when the picture lags. Special effects and trick photo graphy are well handled in earth quake and flood scenes. The shoot ing schedule for “The Rains Came” j which lasted for 100 days, includ ing filming of mob scenes, called for 47 days ill rain or water. Dur- ‘ ing rain and flood scenes as much as 10,000 gallons of water were spilled on the players each shoot ing minute, which necessitated the j studio to build a reservoir holding i 100,000 gallons. For exciting and dramatic screenplay, put “The Rains Came” on your “must see" list, for it is a swelluloid. Goddard college is believed to be the only institution of higher edu cation in the U. S. that does not use academic regalia at commence ment exercises. • FOLLOW OREGON | ACTIVITIES IN THE. [ t Daily Emerald SUBSCRIBE NOW! • ft SUBSCRIBE NOW!

CHASE COMPANY HEATING 93<> OAK PLUMBING PHONE 213 Onceover Lightly By SALLY MITCHELL, PAT TAYLOR Just like a mailman taking a walk on his clay off, we saw Peggy Paris drinking a coke in the Side t'other day. Peggy Paris is a wait ress in the Side. For female consumption only: “Breathes there a freshman with soul so dead, Who never to herself has said, While in Booth 8 at her physical exam, “I’d sell my soul to take it on the lam.” (Shelley and Onceover Lightly had a falling out years ago.) Beta pledge Warren Finke is one of the best looking pieces of masculine protoplasm of this year's crop. Campus Comment: We saw Babs Read, Alpha Phimale, yesterday with an orchid and Don Turner, either one being all right. . . . One of these days we’re going to give up trying to walk through the new building where the old walk used to be . . . it’s harder than heck. . . . Pat Shea tooken a Beta pin this summer, which is all very peachyJ only he is in the medical school in the city. . . . Never saw so many beige cardigans and new saddle shoes. . . . speaking of footnotes, those Gypsy Tan oxfords with the large perforations for fellows are downright ummy. . . . Ummy is Spanish for It Looks Like a Good Deal. I Crack of the week: Some dis gusted rushee in one of the dorms rush week: “I’m through with all this; T’m Greek enough; T don’t need to be a letterman.” The Hal Kemp recording of Ray mond Scoti s “Tn an 18th Century Drawing Room” is good. * * * The Phi Thetas aim to please. They promised to entertain the freshman girls and they did. They took a truckful of girls for a pic nic. And just to keep things going they wrecked the truck. Bonnie Uhl, a freshman from California —aren’t they all - was in France when wah was declared and they sent her home so chop chop that she had to leave all her clothes, including 11 Brooks sweat ers she ‘‘picked up” over there. The French soldiers are going to look elegant in the Uhl cashmeres. And then there was the steam boat captain who ate his launch every day. Well, we thought maybe one person hadn’t heard it. Goodby. Frosh Receive (Continued from paae one) Oregon are ou dined. Included in this classification are the new buildings; museums, alumni and the athletic record of the school. Part two of the book contains information concerning the place of the fraternity and sorority on the University campus, how to choose a living group and what to expect from such a group. Mayor F. H. LaGuardia and all of his commissioners will give a lecture course this year at New York university on the city's gov ernment. The Harvard University chapter cf Phi Beta Kappa has voted to have “spiritous liquors” at its an nual banquets. We asked an authority on advertising 1 can speak of the value of work in the advertising department of the Emerald without reservation. I believe m its im portance, and, for many years, have urged every student of advertising m the l ni versity to supplement the classroom in struction by that training. When a prospective employer inquires about the qualifications of a student tor an advertising position, lie almost invari ably asks whether or not the applicant has worked on 1 he college paper. It isn t only what the student learns that is important. It’s the proof that the young person is actually willing to try himself out—to meet competition—to tesl himself b\ the only measuring rod that, in the long run -—amounts to anything—that ol experi ence. W. F. G. TTIACITER, Professor of Advertising Professor Thacher’s letter is so similar to word received from leaders in other fields of business . . . manufacturing, retailing, wholesaling, etc. . . . that we wish to let you know of it.
