Carnival
Abolished
By Council
AWS Will Be Host
To Officers and
Dean From OSC
By BETTY JANE BIGGS
The AWS council transacted the
following business in their bi
monthly meeting yesterday:
1. Abolished future carnivals.
2. Made plans for a speaker for
student body sponsored by AWS.
3. Discussed the meeting at
which OSC officers of AWS and
Dean of Women Kate Jamieson
will be guests of honor.
4. Changed name of “dime
crawl” to “nickle hop”; set date
for November 21.
5. Plans elaborated for AWS
western college convention.
6. Kwamas put in charge of
“mum” sales.
7. Card party and Coed Capers
set for winter term.
Although a profit between $200
or $300 was made on this year’s
carnival, judged the most success
ful one ever given, the AWS coun
cil at their regular bi-monthly
meeting yesterday decided to abol
ish all future carnivals because of
complaints from fraternities.
Pledge Dance Pondered
Instead of this project the coun
cil hopes to sponsor a pledge
dance at the beginning of each
year. Another benefit they hope to
bring to the student body is a
speaker such as Ruth Bryan
Owen, who appeared on their be
half last year. Contacts are now
being made to secure a lecture for
this term.
Mrs. Kate Jamieson, dean of wo
men at Oregon State College, and
the AWS officers from Corvallis
will be guests of the Oregon wo
men students on November 14.
Arrangements have been made
to have Gerry Gilmore, a freshman
at Oregon State, speak on her
European experiences. Miss Gil
more has attended school in Ger

Farmer’s Fling
Set For Friday
Pink ginghams, blue denims,
fringed straw hats, and a hay
seedy appearance in general will
be the last word in style at the
“'Farmers Frolic” to be given at
Westminster house Friday night
from 8 until 12.
The spirit of the party should
equal nothing less than a good,
old-fashioned house-warming, what
with corn-husking contests among
the girls and mending-bees among
the fellows to give each a chance
to display their skill.
Dancing will be the chief enter,
tainment. Novelty numbers, in
cluding hill-billy songs by duets
and quartets, a comic skit, a har
monica special, and other musical
numbers will keep the evening live
ly.
Refreshments will be served lat
er. All campus young people are
invited, Frank Hodson, social
chairman, said.
Kwama and Skull and Dagger,
! sophomore women's and men’s ser
| vice honoraries. M embers and
| freshman aides will be in each
| living organization on the campus
; during the lunch hour today to sell
the books.
Only 1750 Printed
Price of the guides, as in pre
vious years, is 25 cents, with only
a limited number available. Look
ing back on last years sale, when
the directory supply was exhausted
early in" the drive, Knight warned
that with such an enlarged student
enrollment this year, the quantity
will be even more limited. Only
1750 books were printed under this
year's setup.

Missing Boy
Tells Location
Post Card Sent by
Cox Stills Rumor
Of Auto Accident
Charles Cox, who disappeared
late last Wednesday night while
supposedly on his way to his home
in Heppner, sent a card to his
parents from Bisbee, Arizona, it
was divulged last night.
The card, dated three days ago,
clears up the possibility of an ac
cident, but his exact whereabouts
is still unknown. Investigation re
vealed that he equipped his car, a
Mercury sedan with four new
tires at the Union service station
at Sixth and Willamette before
leaving Eugene.
Cox was the object of a state
wide hunt when he failed to arrive
at Heppner. State police and search
ing parties have been scouring the
steep slopes of the McKenzie pass
where it was feared he had driven
off the road and plunged his car
down an embankment.
The card stated that he was
traveling with another man and
that he would be home in about a
week.

College Regalia Changes Little,
Dirty Cords Tops, Scribe Says
By BETTY HAMILTON
True, wooden shoes have tak
en the place of women's fash
ionable boots, but sweaters and
dirty cords continue to be pop
ular. Pictures in old Emeralds
reveal that the hip - length
sweaters which the gals are
sporting now, were worn a
while back on the campus.
Things really don't change so
much. Let the ajumni know
they aren’t strangers, but
merely a part of the good old
Oregon gang.
A bit of advice from the com
mittee—if you have any prob
lems, ask your alumni about
them. They probably had the
same troubles then and might
give you a likely solution. You’ll
find that they will like to remi
nisce about their college life.
Maybe you’ll get some good
pointers on how to get the
grades or sumpin.
We (lan Smoke Now
Back in the old days a wo
man was frowned on if she
’smoked in public, or at all.
While our new freedom allows
us to do many things we could
n't then, it is up to us to show
our alumni that we still have
their ideals. There are profes
sors on the campus who will
tell you that the modern wo
man is more conservative to
day than ifi the 1900’s. The only
difference is that she is more
frank, and it is that frankness
which causes heads to wag and
say, "The younger generation
is going to the dogs."

Campus Always
'Snow White'Due
To Soot Machine
What would the University of
Oregon campus look like if all
the soot from the roaring fur
naces in the physical plant were
allowed to pile up ? It doesn’t—
that's true—why?
Among otner interesting phe
nomena, Oregon possesses a lit
tle gun called a soot remover.
Yes—it actually takes the soot
out of the smoke that drifts so
lazily across the campus when
you're hurrying to class.
It is no doubt a boon to those
light colored ^clothes, to that
creamy complexion and a clean
appearance in general to Ore
gon's campus.
Hulten to Speak
Over KGO
“What is a good newspaper?”
will be discussed by C. M. Hulten,
assistant professor of journalism
at the University of Oregon, over
radio station KGO, tonight at 9:4.1.
Hulten, who is on a year’s leave
of absence, is studying for his mas
ter's degree, while serving as act
ing assistant professor at Stanford
university. The program is heard

Miss Wright expressed that she
could not effectively carry the re- J
. sponsibilities of Emerald advertis- j
ing manager with her duties at the
downtown store. Although Miss

mands of advertising manager, she
will continue work as a member
of the Emerald business staff.
Jim Frost began Emerald work
last year and held the position of
Friday advertising manager dur
ing part of the year. This year
Frost again took over the duties
of Emerald’s Friday manager.
"Jim is one of our most outstand
ing staff members, and I am cer
tain he can fully meet the require
ments of advertising manager,”
Luoma said last night. Luoma also
noted that under this year’s pro
gram Emerald appointments made
by himself, with the board’s ap- j
proval, are on a term-to-term ba-.
sis.
Doug Parker will take over the
reins of Friday advertising mana
ger for this term, Luoma an
nounced with the news of Frost’s
recommendation. Parker is a sen
ior this year, and also an adver
tising major. "Doug has made a
fine showing in Emerald activity,”
Luoma said. "He is taking over
the responsibility of one of the
Emerald’s most important posi
tions, that of handling local ac
• counts,” Luoma added.

Homecoming Theme
Disclosed; Sign Motif
Will Be Carried Out
'Remember When' Chosen to Bring Back
Memories to Old Grads Who Will See
Graphic Reminders of 'Good Old Days'
Remember when? Old grads will see graphic reminders of the old
days at the homecoming weekend when all houses on the campus will
be plastered with signs and displays designed to bring back fond
memories of those “dear days now past and gone.”
Bob Corby, committee head in charge of displays, has announced
that “remember when” will be the prevailing theme that all displays
must follow for the rapidly approaching weekend. The sign motif will
be carried out at the dance, mak
ing- “Old Oregon” the main idea'
when the alumni comes to Eugene. I
Competition Keen
The living organizations will be
on their mettle in preparation for
the decorations, and competition
will be fierce for the winner’s cup.
Last year Theta Chi took it in
the men's division and the Alpha
Gammas had the best display
among sororities.
All ideas, which must follow the
theme, are to be submitted to Cor
by at Mary Graham’s office in the
activities department in the Igloo
by noon Saturday. If two houses
turn in the same idea, the one sub
mitted first will get the nod.
This allows one week to develop
the displays. Five o’clock on the
Friday before homecoming is the
deadline for construction. All dis
plays are to Vie completed by then
or they will be automatically dis
qualified.
This year the expenditure for
the displays has be^n stepped up
to $15, an increase <6f $5 over the
preceding year. An itemized list
must be turned in to Corby at
Mary Graham's office by noon
Saturday.
Diversity of Ideas
All displays are to be left stand- j
ing and illuminated until midnight
Friday. Ideas can cover a number
of things, such as the now outmod
ed practice of “hacking” freshmen
for various offenses on the steps of
Johnson hall.
The number one displays, as well
as second and third places, will be!
announced at intermission time at
the dance Saturday evening, which
will feature Leon Mojica’s band.
Judges will be announced some
time in the near future.
