Sophomore Coverings—A Study in Blue
- JF the current war fails of accomplishing
• anything else in very positive fashion, it at
least stands in a fair way of bringing about
one immediate radical departure from custom
right here at the University of Oregon, in 1 lie
matter of male wearing apparel—specifically,
; pants for sophomore men.
For some years it has been the custom,
begun so long ago that nobody knows how it
started, for freshmen to wear “tin pants,”
« sophomores the more comfortable moleskins,
and upperclassmen 1he reassuring cords. I»,y
• this one token it was usually possible to tell
■ ■ fairly accurately to what undergraduate class
. a man belonged, and this tradition is one of
' the few and far between which has hung on
without either compulsion or any other special
emphasis. It was popular enough on its own
hook to endure.
«■ * *
it seems the sophomores face a
squeeze-out from the well-ordered lineup
of class pants, and all because Europe with
complete lack of consideration for American
sophomores has gotten itself embroiled in a
war of sorts. None so spectacular in print,
this conflict is nevertheless enough to make
moleskin cloth a thing of the past, as lar as
local consumption is concerned, for moleskin
is made in England, and England has clamped
. down the lid on such exports.
With local merchants reporting them
selves completely out of the imported article
it is fairly obvious that sophomore men face
ii crisis which must be met, it they are to
retain their badge as a class.
And almost before the discovery that mole
skins were on the way 1o extinction the
answer was at band, or at least one answer
which already manifests itself in blue on
sophomore male,legs. For successors to mole
skins the nomination, by popular usage, would
already seem to go to none other than good,
old-fashioned blue “jeans.”
# # *
^yRIGlNAL impetus toward blue denims
comes from the immediate south, where
at Berkeley and other California schools
jeans hold a firm position as sophomore garb.
Where California got the idea is not known,
but the constant, influx of California students
to this campus has built up the legend until
the blue denim cloud only waited a favorable
opportunity, such as this bad break for mole
skins, to come out of the background.
What the sophomores wear is primarily
up to them. If they were to choose to adopt
even dairy overalls, that is their business, as
long as they don't go as far as long underwear
or flannel pajamas for street wear. Moleskins
have held sway for considerable time, a sway
which an unforeseen aspect of war threatens
to end. Denims are cheaper, more durable,
and the lads seem to take to them naturally.
Maybe undergraduates half a dozen years
from now will be wondering what stalled the
sophomores wearing blue denims as class
pants. Or maybe jeans will be so well estab
lished that nobody will wonder at all.
Dreaming open—men me .Last Long Jrull
W^HUUJj keeps no more tor the vest or I lie
week. It is the Thanksgiving season, when
food, football, and relaxation reign supreme.
For Oregon football it is the end of the
, trail, while it is also probably the last time the
dinner tables will groan until Christmas, for
after this week the pace accelerates increas
ingly iij* to the end of final examinations. By
the same token there will be little other re
axntion after this week, until the end of the
term.
By the time a Thanksgiving rolls around
it is a signal that the end is in sight for an
other winter term. Everything which must be
accomplished in fall term will have to be done
from here on in. Social activities are cut to
the bone, practically to the point of non
existence; all Hint remains is work.
With the road so clearly marked, it might
he in order to suggest that Thanksgiving
he taken in stride, as a rest period, such as
between periods of an athletic contest, so that |
participants may return refreshed and with
renewed strength to finish the job they
must do.
Thanksgiving in ils original inception
probably did not foresee such a use for college
youth. As a breathing spell it is unsurpassed,
if it is made the most of; thus it can be an
added good.
So Thanksgiving may as well be enjoyed
while it lasts; alter that things will move
rapidly al the I hii versify, and Christmas will
be here before anyone quite realizes it.

At
a Glance
By BILL MOXLEY
Alarm Clock Deluxe
Good mawnin’, good mawnin’,
wake up you sleepy head; per
fect alarm clock: Glenn Miller
playing “Sunrise Serenade.”
When requested last Saturday
night, only one out of the five
or six bands playing at house
dances had the music to “Scat
terbrain,” one of the tunes
which is already here. . . . Com
ing fast is Larry Clinton’s “In
the Mood,” and by the way, Mr.
C. sounds right smooth on his
weekly broadcast.
He Meant It
I suppose that everybody has
heard the story behind Willie
Howard's “My Last Goodbye.”
For those who haven’t, it seems
that Willie wrote it one year
after his wife died. Those words
really do have some meaning.
Speaking of fun, Kay Kyser’s
vocalist, Ish Kabbible, was mar
ried to the accompaniment of
music by the Kyser band. Kay
brought his entire orchestra,
with instruments, to the wed
ding.
On the campus: Art Holman
sounds much better with twelve
pieces. . . . How does Bob Calk
ins manage to get so much mu
sic out of his little group?
Here to Stay
They say swing is here to
stay, and it may be for all I
know. At least it’s been here
long enough to blast its way
into the notice of just about
everyone. Young swing bands
are pouring out all over the
country with hopes for the
fame, fortune, and glamor which
come to the big names. Inci
dentally, a very large percent
age of those on the top today
have graduated from impromptu
college organizations.
He Can Cook, Too
When Glenn Miller isn't out
wowing the jitterbugs with his
jive, he's home in the kitchen
cooking some of his favorite
recipes. Yes, I hear tell that he
is just a simple family man who
loves to help his wife with the
housework.
Barrel Bolls Out a New Mark
I understand that recordings
of “The Beer Barrel Polka”
have outsold any other record
ever made, exceeding “The Mu
sic Goes Round and Round” by
many thousands. Furthermore,
it seems to have become the
national Saturday afternoon
football song, most students
knowing the words better than
those of their school song.
Baby-Doll Bonnie
Wee Bonnie Baker’s little girl
is really making a hit of late.
She’s unique.
Best radio bets tonight are:
Kay Kyser at 7 o’clock. . . . and
if you like your vocalizing hot
and fast, don't miss the Merry
Macs on Fred Allen’s show at
nine.
So long.
