Oregonizing Should Need No Urging
^^NCE again the ASUO is in its most trying period, a drive
to sign up members, by the term or by 1 he year. Every
fall, winter, and spring it’s the same old story. At the start
of the term a complicated machinery must be set up and put
in motion to do intensive missionary work necessary in order
to convert the potential student body iido membership. And
conversion it is, for even though they intend to buy anyway
Ihey love to be convinced.
This fall the campaign is no different. Glenn Eaton, one of
the best, men who could be found anywhere for such a job,
heads the ASTJO missionaries. Each day his boys and girls
go out. and bring a few more “Oregonizcrs” into the fold
by selling them student body tickets. Last night’s figures
showed almost a ten per cent jump over those of the day
before, due no doubt to the proximity of the Stanford football
game, prime utilitarian consideration never to be overlooked
by canny late-buyers of ASTJO membership.
# # # <*
J^ACTI limo all 1 liis drive machinery is sel up, Oarlyle-ist
tendencies crop up in some of 1 ho more flexible minds
here and there. Hold the thing off at arm's length and il is
not exactly soundly explainable. Consider that on the A8UO
card, in addition to football, which should be enough by itself,
there is as strong a cultural program as could be assembled
for three times the money. Consider that the educational
activities board did a good job, using methods tried and
proven over a number of years, in lining up the best program
a student body membership of this size could afford.
Consider also that this year 20 cents out of every ASUO
dollar goes into a building fund, which will in the near future
add a student union to the campus physical plant. It is evi
dent, then, that there can be no large margin of profit in a
program which sells at $113 a year. The board specializes in
educational activities, and all these things are educational.
College happens but once in a lifetime, for most of us.
It is the only time these things will appear in the same light.
All these things being admitted, why then is it necessary that
conversion must be accomplished each term? The article for
sale can stand on its own legs as to value and depth, and most
students would rather be inside looking out than vice versa.
It must be that the student, like the rest of the American
Public, wants to be coaxed into something he wants to do
anyway.
Oregonizing should need no urging.
Crumbaker’s
First Book Out
Professor Calvin Crumbaker of
the department of economics has
recently published his first full
length book, entitled, "Organizing
and Financing Modern Business.”
According to Professor Crum
baker, the book is planned, not to
take the place of lectures, but to
help the student in his interpreta
tion of them.
Besides this G44 page textbook,
Professor Crumbaker has written
and published many articles and
pamphlets and at present has a
monograph in the process of pub
lication.

to an abrupt end for just as soon
as she was settled on top of the
copy desk (a privilege accorded to
none of the Emerald staff—it’s
against the rules) she was sur

claims, in spite of the fact that
her father's business has prevent
ed her from spending all but seven
years in her home state. A gradu
ate of Grant high school in Port
land, she entered the University
as a pre-med student. She's a
French major now because she
wants to graduate from the Uni
versity. Unlike,most girls (who'd
rather keep their age a secret.
Budget her time? No, it's never
occurred to her, she said, because
she's never had to. She always
gets done what she sets out to do.
Her ability to do so many things
and get her studying done, too, she
attributes to her power of concen
tration. She can read quickly, eas
ily, and can get a lot out of her
reading without having to take a
lot of notes. One understands how
she has attained a portion of this |
power when she says that the Uni
versity is her thirteenth school—
and she skipped more than one
grade, too,- during her travels
through Montana, Missouri, Wyo

After this year? She hopes to
get her master’s degree and then
go on to medical school. "I'm def

The
SHOW
OFF
By NORMAN FOSTKR
Dorothy Hix Attention! . . »
For those erstwhile piggers who
would work all the angles to im
press the lady love, may we offer
a few suggestions for musical
angles. Dedicating a significant
recording to her on the KORR all
request program serves to con
stantly remind her of you. If the
band was playing a certain tune
the night you planted your pin,
giving her a waxing of that num
ber will make her feel sorry that
she gave your pin back. Then, too,
if your vocal qualities are such,
you may croon the words of some
popular tune in her ear whilst you
wheel her around the dance floor.
It's a lot easier than trying to
think up something intelligent to
say. And if anyone should achieve
success by following the before
mentioned suggestions, we would
like to know about it — counta
cause they didn’t seem to do us
much good . . .
The KORR afternoon request
program now comes on the air at
a new time, 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. This
should give more student music
lovers the opportunity to listen to
the latest and best in recorded mu
sic. Also gives a better chance that
the girl friend will be listening to
your request. Jack McCarty, the
announcer of said program, claims
that Glen Miller's waxing of “Blue
Moonlight” is the number most
requested by listeners. And all
along we thought that "The Little
Shirt Me Mother Made for Me"
was the most popular request.
Up and Coming! . . .
Bing Croby’s versioh of “What’s
New” is a good example of what
an entertainer like Crosby can do
for a tune. About a year ago, “I’m
Free" was written by Bobby Hack
ett for Bob Crosby’s orchestra.
Somehow, the number didn’t quite
click. So recently, they wrote new
words for the “I’m Free” melody
and titled it “Wlrat's New.” Now
that Bing has recorded the number i
it looks like a definite bid for the
Hit Parade.
Taking advantage of interest in
the current European war, MGM
rushed production on “Thunder
Afloat,” a world war melodrama
set back in 1918 when sub chasers
were raiding German U-boats off
the Atlantic coast.
Wallace Beery as the lead, turns
in an excellent performance as a
rough, gruff captain of a tugboat.
The tugboat incidentally is the
same boat used in "Tugboat Annie”
co-starring Wally Beery and the
late Marie Dressier, some years
back. Virginia Grey, as Berry’s
daughter, and Chester Morris, a3 i
a rival tugboat captain, provide
the love interest.
As the picture opens, Beery and
Morris are trying to get a towing
contract, which Beery gets after
he and his daughter shame Morris
into joining the navy. Soon after
wards, however, Beery meet a sub
marine and loses his boat and
barges. He joins up in the navy,
taking the war as a personal issue,
forgetting about orders. As cap
tain of a sub chaser, he takes his
boat away from the squadron and
goes on a personal hunt which
ends disastrously. Reduced to a!
seamon, Beery wants to quite the 1
navy, but Morris as captain of a
sub chaser that is decoyed as a!
fishing boat, for the "splinter ]
fleet," makes him serve on his
boat.
The ruse is discovered by the
U-boat and Beery is taken cap
tive aboard the submarine while
the fleet rains depth bombs on all
sides of the German craft. All
ends happily however, as Beery
gets a medal for his daring work,
while Morris gets Beery's daugh,
ter, which is better than a medal
any day.
In line with Hollywood’s new
policy of accuracy and realism in
pictures, “Thunder Afloat" with
the help of the U. S. navy is tech
nically correct in all phases. Many
of the guns, boats and instruments
used in the picture were loaned to
the studio by the navy. Filmland’s
hokus-pokus was used in several
scenes, especially those taken of a
wooden sub chaser that was ac
tually floating inside of sound
stage 15 on the Metro lot. These
scenes are handled so cleverly, the
audience can never tell whether
the boats are floating near Cata
lina or inside (he stage. The pic
ture will show at the McDonald
soon with "Dancing Coed” as the I
companion feature.

Oregon Coeds
Feature 1939
Fall Fashions
By DORIS Ml ItrilY
A new crop of students means
new ideas in clothes ... in fact
the two are practically synony
mous . . . this year sloppy Joe
sweaters and knee-high stockings
are the most noticeable .. . big
brass buttons and other metals are
trimming everything from soup to
nuts . . . and plaids are in every
coed's wardrobe, be it a skirt,
dress, or formal . . . the ever pres
ent, or so we thought, tan saddle
shoe has bowed before its black
mate . . . but our favorite foot
wear is the suede moccasin that
flatters even the longest foot . . .
hair ribbons are still here in all
forms, especially worn tied high
on the head with streamers down
the back of that smooth bob . . .
and speaking of hairdos, all the
style shows this fall stressed that
hair should be up off the collar
line, but Oregon coeds for the most
part still favor the long fluffy bob
. . . and have you noticed, too, that
hair piled high on the head is def
initely outmoded ... it was such
a popular style last spring . . .
pearl necklaces from single strand
to six strand are on sweaters and
peep from under collars . . . the
newest costume jewelry doesn't
jangle at each little move and is
taking the place of kerchiefs at
the necks of sweaters . .. new
colors are a deep tuscan grape and
a dull moss green . . . bustles
adorn every date dress it seems . . .
but are cleverly detachable, if you
don’t like them . . . prophecy for
the first formal dance is that the
very new sweaters embroidered
with rhinestones and sequins will
be worn over long velvet skirts
. . . original coed is wearing a hair
ribbon tied from a length of name
tape . . . but these cute frosh can
wear anything!
THRU THE
MADDING
CROWD
with MAJEANE GLOVER
Don’t let the dismal rain
scare you this fall. Back from
our summer vacations and anx
ious to see how the shops
looked again, we soon found
that no matter how dreary it
is outside, inside the stores are
shining with brilliant new fall
colors,
Speaking of rain there are
other ways to keep dry than by
wearing the good old standbys,
reversibles and reefers. At the
Broadway Inc. we found water
proof raincoats of rubberized
picque, piped in blue. The coat
is $4.75 and a white hood to
match is 79c.
Outstanding in bright colors
are the little eye-catching two
piece dresses at Gordon’s of
soft, wide wale corduroy. Some
are two-tone and some in plain
colors. One two-tone dress has
a brilliant red jacket with a
dark blue skirt. The jacket has,
conveniently, four pockets and
a double row of shining brass
buttons. Price, $14.95.
Keep warm this winter with
the new Jacoat now being fea
tured at Kaufman's. These
lined jackets are shown in sev
eral bright plaids. Wear them
with any skirt or a skirt made
to match. The suits are $7.95
and $10.95.
We can't be biased in praising
I the new styles in women’s fash
l ion's because at DeNeffe's we
I found sweaters and jackets that
i are just "topjs.” The "Vaga
1 bond,” a LaSalle sport packet,
comes in colors of green and
! nude, is partially lined, and is
made of rayon which looks like
brushed wool. Complete with
two pockets and leather but
I tons. Price, $2.95. Even the
girls will be interested in the
I smallest size of this sweater.
^ At Hadley’s we found some
thing we know you’ll appreciate
on these cool evenings when you
have to stay up to study. Chen
ille robes "soft as a kitten's
ear" in white, pink, heaven blue,
royal blue, wine red. and melon.
Either wrap around or zipper
style with satin trim. Price,
I $5.95.
Girls on the campus have
, found that nothing proves more
I practical in footwear than sad
| dies. Burch's are reducing their
regular $4.95 saddles to $3.95
i and are purchasing a new group
i of saddles which will be $4.95.
For general all-around campus
wear this shoe just can't be out
done.
Women Only
(Continued from page three)
was then that the bewildered
freshman girl meekly stated that
her name was Beverly.
The campus should be blessed
with solitude this weekend, with
all football enthusiasts and “good
time Charlies” bounding off to
Portland for the only game there
this season. The rally committee
reports a big weekend for all stu
dents atteending. (Hmn! perhaps I
should generously offer this page
as an umbrella with which to pro
tect new fall bonnets from the ele
ments, should it be necessary Sat
urday.)
Well, dear reader, (please let me
know whoever you may be and you
shall be justly rewarded) thanks
for sticking it out. “For Women
Only” promises you more and bet
ter next week.

shoulder.'?, doorman gold braid
trimming and the wasp waist, and1
can be had in black or Vermillion
red. An evening dress in black
crepe with an unusual Vermillion
red silk jersey panel, and a match
ing red jacket would be a perfect
mate to this wrap.
Faculty Bans

a bona fide interest in individual
grades may inspect University rec
ords.
Action of the faculty will permit
the publishing in the Emerald the

each term in the future.
At the same meeting, the facul
