Mined but Not Sunk—The ASUO Dance
J^"OT so Ions ago il was parly fall, the si art
of llip pvpspnl school 1 prm. There was a
'drive going on, for f lip purpose of soil in"
student Body liirinlirrship fickofs. Oiip of flic
itrms oh file list of what-you-get-for-your
money was an ASFO dance, which was cov
eerd in flip cosf of Hip fall term student Body
card.
Yesterday, too late in 1 lie term to make
much difference anyway, came the announce
ment that there would he no ASIIO dance, at
least for.this term. Everything is to eome out
in the wash next term, when the dance takes
place January f>. At this time Both fall and
winter term ASTTO cards will lie honored.
Of course By yesterday the dance was pret
ty well forgotten. Originally scheduled as a
lead-off event of fall term, it faded out of
tJie picture as the term sped on. Hut yester
day’s story marked the end of a long and
Bitter trail for 1ho.se who had struggled to
make the arrangements for the dance so that
it could go on as scheduled.
* # #
^JBEATERT trouble was in finding a suit
able date. At the Beginning the AS1T0
had its throat cut by the “Hello” dance the
first weekend of the term. Then it was thought
it might he a good idea to wait and see what
Hie football team did; if the year’s finish
was as good as its start it would he worth
quite a celebration, and here was where the
dance would fit. But the football fire faded.
Then the social slate got crowded, and there
was no room for the dance. Now the end of
Tin* term is at hand, basketball has taken over
the Tgloo. iind arrangers can neither find nn
open date nor a floor. At other times they
have been stopped by non-availability of loeal
nmsie.
Even a last white hope went wrong, a
proposition to have the tiling during the week
from seven to ten some night; offieial ap
proval failed to come through.
So there sits the AKEO. Money on hand to
give llie dance, which card-holders have paid
for. Hut they are stumped.
# *■ e
^^RGANIZERS of campus dances have al
ways run into the same thing. Trying to
run down a date, floor, and band is about as
easy as catching flying birds by putting salt
on their tails. The first impression is that it is
like biding one’s head against a stone wall.
Same goes for the last impression. With Mc
Arthur court, owned and dominated by ath
letics, under the influence of basketball five
months out of the nine there is not much left;
for other functions. Gerlinger somehow squats
under a pall of unpopularity which defeats
anything planned for that floor.
To outsiders, dances and other kindred
undergraduate goings-on are in ultimate anal
ysis small matters, no doubt. Light things but
ter no parsinps, it is easy to say. But these
functions are many, and undergraduate needs
are peculiarly insistent, and always they face
tbis handicap.
Every time one of these knots defies the
cutting it only adds another argument in
favor of the long-sought student union, which
has been just around the corner for all these
years.
The I.R.C.—Puzzles Figured out While You Wait
r | 'ONIGHT, in Gerlinger, another eye to see
with will be put into focus with the birth
of a new International Relations club.
One of the most fascinating games in the
world to wateh is international relations. But
iu order to properly understand the signifi
cance of various moves, overt and otherwise,
it is necessary that the observer have better
than average information. More than that it
takes discussion, idea sharing, disagreement,
in order that, all the aspects unfold.
With world affairs moving at a breakneck
pace and the tempo speeding up all the time,
the world picture today outstrips all other
attractions for the number-one item of in
terest.
For those who like the problem beyond
what they get on the subject elsewhere the
club will give them the mental workouts they
crave. A chance to get in on the ground floor
of the club is afforded everyone by the late
start, in getting organized. Usually it is a
going concern with the opening of any fall
term; but last year’s group failed to plan any
successors in office, hence there was no frame
work on which to build, come this fall. This
year promises one of the strongest lineups
the club lias ever had and more widespread
support. At least one University regular elass
will appear en masse to open the International
Relations year, having been dismissed in favor
of this added opportunity.
# # *
International Relations club is neither a
miniature, would-be League of Nations,
international house, nor forced attendance
group. It is a group which wants to get at
what is beneath, the meaning of events. Dean
Victor 1’. Morris of the school of business
administration, adviser for the group by tra
dition and interest, is one of the best world
watchers in the business. More than that, he
is one of the most interesting people on the
Iini versify faculty.
Whatever happens tonight will be only the
beginning. After that, there will 'be time to
decide the course of the club, its program,
and other details. Hut tonight, in this organiz
ing, there is being offered one of the invalu
able functions of a university which are not
to be found in the catalog, yet will have as
profound an effect as anything encountered
in I ho curriculum. Call it opportunity, for
that is what il represents.
Rae to Be Sent
To Coast for Firm
John Rae, professor in the school
of business administration at the
University of Oregon four years
ago, will return to the west coast

tribution in the Northwest for Gen
eral Electric, according to a letter

'March of Time'
i -
In a style paralleling the fam
ous “March of Time” program, the
University radio theater will pre
sent the “March of Science”
Thursday evening. This fifteen
minute production will be a part
of the University student hour, a
weekly KOAC program heard
from 7:30 to 8:30.
The drama of the plot centers
around the discovery of a cure for
pernicious anemia, and contrasts
the original use of liver cure and
the modern liver extracts. In the
cast are Lilian Davis, Dolph Janes,
Kent Stitzer, Jim Parsons, Bob
Mack, Warren Waldorf, Betty
Jane Quigley, Jean Spearow,
George Skipworth, John Zilka,
Freeman Patten, and Dave Comp
ton.
The regular musical portion of
the program under the direction of
Bob Mack and George Skipworth
will be followed by the concluding
feature—an interview conducted
by Lilian Davis and Dan Zilka.
Their subjects for discussion will
include the Shakespearean festival
at Ashland and campus life.

the fashions of this period will be

Herb Tompkins, Ed McGrath, Paul

Earl Sandness, and Bill Borcher.
A good bet for a starting five
for the Oilmen would have Nello
Vanelli, ex-Oregon State player,
and Wild Bill O'Donnell, ace of the
University of Portland of the past
three years, at forwards. Chuck
Patterson, dusky ex-Oregon ace,
would be at center. Bill Courtney,
from Oregon, and Art Merryman,
of past Oregon State years, would
play the guard positions.
Jay Hollingsworth and Merle

probably be chief alternates.
McNeeley and Sandness, last

Stop Your “Sissy-Kissing”
Another ex-Utah student told
us of differences in their jargon.
She referred to “sissy-kissing,”
which brought a puzzled look to

finally discovered she was speak

she did not know the origin of this
unusual term.
We answered “no” to her ques
