Fred May, Eay Manager She’s Up Again--a UO Drum Majoress AST night, after nearly :i year of official silence on llie subject, the first overt step was taken toward authorizing a girl drum majoress for the University band, the step being taken by the AWS council in voting approval of the move. Faster-moving than anyone had dreamed possible, the majoress question will today go through its second and 1hird steps in quick succession, meeting first the AttUO executive committee and next, the student, affairs committee. If both approve, Les [larger will make the next move, it being his duty to work with and Irain the prospective new spark for the band. This new action on the long-dormant subject, suddenly brings into view again the pros pect of a girl baton-swinger heading a University of Oregon band, in keeping with the poli cies of every major school on the coast, with Ihe exception of 1 he Cniversity of California. New life is envisaged for the band. J^AST year the proposal went down to defeat because it was allowed to become an issue rather lhan a, perfectly natural step in keeping with tlm trend of the times. Also, repre sentatives of the University women were not in favor. This year, however, the women are favorable, as last night’s vote shows. No issue is in sight, the plan sprang from within the ASUO executive commillee, which after all has the right to anthori/.e t lie girl majoress by The student affairs committee is in a position to right a possible wrong in reversing its last year’s decision, a decision made without the knowledge of Ihe fads this year brings. There is no good reason to turn down the proposal. Last, year’s arguments no longer apply. The executive committee will probably approve the move, and with two all-student groups registering approval the student affairs committee will have as good an indicator of stu dent feeling as can be found. It, is no new thought to reflect that perhaps a mountain lias hereby been made out of a, molehill. Surely whether a college band shall be led by a girl or a goat should not he enough to set all the ponderous machinery of semi-student government in motion getting approval of that for which it should not need any further approval than ils own inclination. itself The ASUO Supreme Court Cuts the Knot J^-AST night llio judiciary comm if too at last gave away llio mueh-dispufod ASUO davenport, after due court room style delib eration. Willi their decision the ease comes to an end, as far as any further step is con cerned. In awarding the davenport, the committee cut what was beginning to look like a (lordian knot. Two houses laid claim to the bit of furniture, the controversial point being that one of them had been ready before registra tion—irregularity, undoubtedly, but an un foreseen and unprovided-for irregularity; thus it was perfectly legal, as far as the com mittee could determine. The davenport accordingly goes to Sigma Nil, after nearly two weeks of question, and that settles the issue for this particular cam paign. But next time such an attraction is offered there should and will be a few rules in effect to keep the thing regular. The judi ciary committee at 111c close of its delibera 1 ions promised that Ilia rules would lie forth coming, wliieli lakes eare of tire next such problem before it ever gets a chance to arise. * * * nrntt davenport, controversy, 1hrough un precedented eireumstances, was allowed to become a near-scandal which had the atten tion of the entire campus before it had gone very far. A repetition of this would he invit ing protest. However, the matter has been settled as fairly as possible considering the lack of rules to govern the competition. The judiciary committee, a constitutional, com petent body has made its findings, and there the matter should he let drop. Repetition is apparently squelched. No good can he done by further stirring up of the issue, it is obvious. Therefore, let the blame he placed where it belongs, let it go at. that. Anyone is privileged to think as he pleases.

Year-Old Dispute (Continued from page one) Won National Honors Miss Anderson, who last year strutted' in front of bands of sev eral Eugene organizations, is termed by Harger as “better than any other girl or fellow on the campus.” Last year she won hon ors which put her among the top baton-t wirlers in the nation, he said. Oregon at the present time is the only major school on the coast be sides the University of California that does not have a drum major ess. Last October student leaders made headlines in papers all over the state with their campaign for a girl leader, but were balked just before the scheduled appearance of the majoress by student affairs committee action.

THE TESTED INK EO« IVEIY PEN 1 Action Shots Of Emerald On Display The Emerald on Parade . . , . forty-one years of publication from a .small weekly to a top-rank ing- daily, will pass in review in the windows of the Montgomery Ward and Co. starting tomorrow, A sort of cavalcade of progress, the display will feature back-issue Emeralds, some date-lined 1900, complete with pictures showing all phases of production from reporter to press to the students. Promoted by the business staff for the purpose cf showing pro gress and method of publication, the display is designed to make your daily paper more prominent than it is already. Much of the credit goes to Earl Maize, mer chandising manager, and Charles Kenyon, staff photographer, who has spent the past few nights working the picture angle into shape. Early issues depict the Univer sity of Oregon as it was when Theodore Hoosevelt set the cam pus on its ear by speaking to the student body, an event that got big build-up by the Emerald. For the first time, the public as well as the students can see how the paper “grew up” from a weekly tabloid size to its present spot as one of the six leading college news papers, in advertising as well as news. Emerald business staffs, current ly headed by George Luoma, have made the paper nationally promi nent as a valuable college adver tising medium. After careful sur veys, nationwide firms have awarded the Emerald valuable contracts. The ad staff is soon to conduct a survey of its own to de termine advertising value. The treat will be venison, the re sult of Hank Evans and Frank Gray’s accurate aim while on a hunting trip last Sunday. Recent Marriages Announced Announcements have recently been received of the marriage of Carolyn Meyers, Delta Gamma, and Richard Grady, Sigma Chi. The couple is now living in Los An geles.

We’ve already had a very exclu sive glimpse of Miller’s. Although we can’t tell you about the grand things they have to offer you be cause it’s a secret till the opening day when you can see for yourself, still we can tell you that it has very modern finishing, modern cases and shelves. And fixtures more attractive than any average store. Of course that’s not all, but —well, watch for the opening date. In visiting other shops we found the ideal outfits for an average school day. HADLEY’S are featuring in their sport shop all colors imagin able in sweaters, skirts, and jack ets. With bright plaids, checks, and tweeds any number of com binations is possible. Sweaters are $1.25 and up, and skirts and jack ets are $3.95 and up. The popular Boxers are $12.95 and $14.95. Just the thing to go with a smart fall suit are the Bonnie Doon wool anklets at BEARD’S. All the new fall colors to match every sweater. Either turnover tops or lastex tops. Price, 50c. A sensation at DeNEFFE’S is the new "Spectator” coat. This shower-proofed corduroy coat has a heavy plaid lining, raglan sleeves, three pockets, and is trimmed with leather buttons. The three quarter length coat has a full sweep and comes in tan and green. Price, $12.50. Look for it on display on the campus and in the store. And while you’re at DeNeffe’s, ask about the football maps they are giving away showing conference teams, champions, etc. KAUFMAN’S have a strikingly new blouse — the chenille formal blouse. This soft, colorful blouse , has a zipper down the front and is j to be had in colors of red, yellow, | green, aqua, and powder blue. Price, $2.95. | Comes night time, then you’ll be J thinking of warm pajamas for that I cold sleeping porch. The Gamma Jammas at THE BROADWAY INC. are sure to answer the prob lem. Some are made with boots to match, some with caps, some with gathering around the ankles, and some with knitted neck bands. In bright flannel prints with smart sayings on them, they are $1.95. GORDON’S offer a new solu tion for robes. We found there quilted calico robes in fancy prints.

WITH NEW YORK BUYING CONNECTION 1036 Willamette Coed of the Week (Continued from page three) cia found it necessary to eat her lunch on the campus. She found that the YW was a natural head quarters for girls such as she. She soon discovered that in previous years the girls who ate their lunch there had an organized club, and held a business meeting once a week. It had more or less died down. Marcia wasn’t satisfied with that. Her organizational blood be an to warm up and for the past two years students have read, a bit wonderingly perhaps, of the ac tivities of the Dill Pickle club— the result of her work. Marcia didn’t stop with the Dill Pickles. She joined the Orides, the social organization for Eugene girls. Several years ago it was practically just another club. But now, the group is to unaffiliated Eugene girls what the sorority and dorm is to their members. Presi dent this year, Marcia instituted the practice of pledging, adding more to the idea of “belonging.” Eyes sparkling, always on the alert, and watching expectantly for the next thing to happen. Mar cia is looking forward with the same eagerness to a career in the business world after college. She’ll work a year or two—in a bank and in Eugene, if possible—she doesn’t like big cities—and then . . . well she wouldn’t commit herself: “I don’t believe in planning too far in the future,” was her only com ment. And She Cooks! She wouldn’t call herself domes tic although she likes to stir up cakes, pies, and can cook. Because she doesn’t have much time, she saves Saturday morning for house work. With the head of the millrace and the Willamette almost at her front door, it was no surprise when she said she liked swimming very much. A basketball fan, she is a fan and not a player, she declared. Her hobby, (if it’s a hobby, she postscripted) is her hunting for things for her room. Oh, yes, of course, she’s kept a memory book and autograph book all through high school and college. Like many Oregon girls who en ter the University, Marcia has dreamed of going to Oregon ever since she started grade school. Desserts Getting into the swing of fall term many fraternities and soror ities have scheduled exchange des serts. Those held Wednesday were Kappa Alpha Theta-Sigma Nu; Alpha Chi Omega-Sigma Alpha Mu; Campbell Co-op-University House; Alpha Delta Pi-Sigma Phi Epsilon; Alpha Gamma Delta- Phi Sigma Kappa; Delta Upsilon- Chi Omega; Kappa Kappa Gamma Kappa Sigma; Delta Delta Delta Pi Kappa Alpha; Pi Beta Phi-Phi Delta Theta; Gamma Phi Beta-Plii Gamma Delta; and Delta Gamma freshmen-Sigma Alpha Epsilon freshmen. Tuesday evening Hendricks hall and Theta Chi held an exchange dessert. Those on Thursday’s list include Susan Campbell-Yeomen; Alpha Phi freshmen-Phi Kappa Psi fresh men; Delta Delta Delta-Sigma Al pha Epsilon; Gamma Phi-Chi Psi; and, Hendrieks-Zeta hall.
