Because of this festive occasion coeds will be allowed an additional 15 minutes before porch lights blink the friendly warning that it is bedtime. Therefore, sorority and hall doers will be locked at 12:30 on the mght of the sophomore informal instead of the usual deadline of 12:15, according to an official okey is sued yesterday by the dean of wo men's office. Tickets 85 Cents Committee heads have pointed out that because of the low price of bids—85 cents a couple—and the added attraction of late per mission, the sophomore informal dance Saturday night should be one of the best attended terpsicho rean affairs of the fall social sea son.

The dance is open to the entire student body with the sophomores acting merely as sponsors of the gala event. Discount for Class Cards Sophomores may buy bids for 50 cents by presenting their class cards at the educational activities ticket office in McArthur court, providing they do so before the date of the dance.

'Pigging' Originated in 1922; Favorable Comments Given By JANET 1'II’EU The upperclassmen pointed accusing fingers at the frosh who was seen with his girl before 4 o’clock on a week day. “Pigger!" they shouted so threateningly that the frightened freshman dashed for the seclusion of his fraternity house, where he has been crouching under the bed for the past two w'eeks. Pigging is tiie expressive term aplied to dates before 4 o'clock, in particular, and all dates on the Oregon campus in general. Espe cially interesting to the uninitiat ed of the University colloquialisms is the origin of Pigging's synony mity with dating. TIere’s the Origin Eack in 1922, one sentimental freshman became enamoured with a lass who resided far cut in the rural regions of Eugene, Since the youth himself lived on a neighbor ing farm, it was easy enough to explain the numerous visits to his lady love with a casual, “Oh, I’ve been out to see my pigs again."—• hence the expression “pigging.” What do Oregon students think of pigging? Ideas are as different as their donors. Obviously the gen eral opinion on pigging is that it is okay, or so much dating would not be evident in and about Eu gene. However, various features of the ancient custom have been com mented upon. On the whole, University men and women oppose pigging at games. They feel students who date at such meets are at a dis advantage, and that the practice should be entirely abolished. The same is not true of concerts and other affairs where, they believe, having a date adds to the evening. Several Oregon men who were contacted on the subject of pigging praised the coeds on the campus as excellent dates. A few generously opined. that no girls on the coast compared with those at Oregon. The women proved to be less com plimentary when asked for their ideas on men. They criticized the sloppy appearance of boys on dates and admitted they really didn't en joy pigging as much as they should. Since the 1939-1940 Pigger's Guide will be on sale today that fellow, who met that glamor girl at open house, will be able to find her telephone number and call her; and she may go out with him -if he isn't too sloppy.

As the season progresses, it Seems Isberg gets more shifty all the time, as can be attested by the fact that he had the highest aver age of any back in tlje UCLA game. On the defense most of the after noon, the fro.sh showed more fire in stopping the varsity’s line smashes than at any time this year. Halflmck Peewce Bujan, a 195 pound chunk of football material, made the best tackles of the day. He hit Isberg so hard on one tackle that Len got up groggy. It was a head on tackle, and swept the ball carrier clear off his feet. When the frosh got the ball, they tried in vain to get over the center of the forward wall, but connected on a couple of nice pass plays. They also intercepted a long pass of the second stringers. At one time they were on about the var sity 20-yard line. No punting was done in the “game.” tuiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiii iiiliiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiij 1 >i>..IIIIIIIKI nil 11111 ill 11H We pride ourselves on prompt delivery!
