of bids—85 cents a couple—and
the added attraction of late per

The dance is open to the entire

acting merely as sponsors of the
gala event.

'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.

tacklers. 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.”

'Smokey’ Whitfield Appears
In 'Kiss the Boys Goodbye’
By BETTY JANE BIGGS
Another success story is being
written by an Oregon graduate as
news has reached the campus that
Robert “Smokey” Whitfield will
appear in “Kiss the Boys Good
bye," being produced by the Pasa
dena Playhouse.
"Smokey," as he was known at
the University, is studying at a
dramatic training school in Holly
wood under Clarence Muse, a ne
gro actor and director of “Run,
Little Children."
Given an audition before such
Hollydood “big names" as Lewis
Stone, Noah Beery, Dolores Del
Rio, and Bruce Cabot, "Smokey"
was chosen out of 300 competitors
to play the part of George in Clara
Booth's comedy.
“Smokey” said in his letter to
Horace Robinson, assistant profes
sor of dramatics, that the Holly
wood “grapevine.” reports a ma
jor studio is considering screening
“Kiss the Boys Goodbye” and that
it might mean a chance of his car
rying the role of George right into
the “movies.”
With a smile on their faces stu
