No—Consistent? Yes rJ'dIE coming of a new year, bringing with it the resulting tendency to take a good look at the old, gives rise to the realization that in the course of the year just past, any year, many outstanding events occurred. Writers everywhere add up the score, selecting the “ten best” news stories of the year, and much of this sort of thing goes on. Not spectacular enough ever to rate an - honorable mention as an event, it would seem nevertheless that the ASUO ought to take unto itself some kind of leather medal for consistently getting “in there” with cold figures when it comes to offering inducements toward the sale of student body cards. Time after time, term after term, it is the same story—the actual cash figures, which are neither padded nor hot air, add up to such a total that nobody even bothers to take them seriously, unless they try paying cash piece by piece. * # * ^J'lIE lineup which goes on the block at McArthur court at registration this morn _ ing is typical of the AS1TO success story. The total figure is so big that it almost amounts just what it says. Take basketball, for instance. Basketball, increasingly popular everywhere, is undoubt edly the red-letter, double-barreled, eapital to a whole year's ASUO fee—and it means letter attraction of winter term. Everyone £0<!S *° the games; and Oregon is playing win ning basketball these years. Add up the Igloo games alone and it beats the price of the card. JJnt still there is more. There is culture, and a student body dance— and even the Emerald. * # # AbUO, in business lor itself, has grown eagy in its old age. It must cover much ground with scant funds. It takes no chances on sentiment, although sentiment and spirit are perhaps more important than canny shop pers would be willing to admit. The prime pressure focuses upon reason, in the shape of actual, down-to-the-nickel, irrefutable, mon ey’s worth. It was not always this way, both here and at the state college. It, used to be that part of the inflexible lees at registration was the student body tax. They were not always sure about whether they were getting, their mon ey s worth iji those days. They paid anyway, because they had to. It cost money in large figures when the lion-optional fee was aban doned, but at least it made logicians out of the powers who arrange student body card lineups. Another term, another add-it-up job of card underwriting, and the AH1IO, not a “ten best” in flashiness, rates the inner circle for steady plugging away. The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLEY By BILL MOXLEY Miller-Manna Old Kris Kringle brought many a royal gift to his public this Christmas but to swing fans the sweetest present of all was Glen Miller’s first air show with Chesterfields. Boy, oh boy, talk about combinations . . . Unclt Glen and The Andrews on one program really tops all other dance bands menus on the air. And how the audience went for Glen on the first show! They yelled, whistled, and pounded the floor all through the num Ibers. When the band swung out *on “Sunrise Serenade’’ we poor gloops sitting home by the radio could hardly hear the music, due to the uproar from the crowd. A Pox on Sweet Sam'l Another change during the holidays was Sammy Kaye’s re placing of Larry Clinton on Tuesday night broadcasts. How anybody can like Mr K’s insipid dishings-out is beyond the be lief of this music ear. He sounds like a combination of Kay Kyser and Blue Barron with the faults of both. However, if you like your dance music with several layers of sugar don't miss Sam my Kaye. Tin-Pan Clinton Most people don't know that Larry Clinton had written over 130 popular songs before he picked up a baton and started on his career as orchestra lead er. Among his famous composi tions are “A Study in Brown,’’ "Satan Takes a H o 1 i d a y," “Shades of Hades,” and the famous “Dipsy Doodle.” Mirror for Musicians Down Beat Mag has finally completed its poll of the pro fessional musicians’ opinions about each other. Swing-: 1. Goodman 2. Miller 3. Crosby 4. Shaw 5. Basie 6. Ellington 7. J. Dorsey 8. Krupa 9. Savitt. 10. Barnett Sweet: 1. T. Dorsey 2. Miller 3. Gray 4. Kemp 5. Kyser 6. Lombardo 7. S. Kaye 8. W. King 9. J. Dorsey 10. Heidt Miller got more votes than any other band but they were split between sweet and swing. It's certainly an unusual feat for a band to be just about tops in two distinctly different types of music. Woody Herman, J. Dor sey, and Jan Savitt were voted the most underrated bands in the business. Behind the With JACK BRYANT Happy New Year didja have a good time ? . . . What’d ya do? ! The campus was certainly dead after everyone left Thurs day . . . the Saturday before Christmas everyone was down on the main floor of M. & F. . . . Two Oregons were working in the store that we saw . . . Mary McCormack and Muriel Patterson . . . just stand in one place and watch the people go by . . . lots of people and lots of Oregons . . . the Storli broth ers were obvious . . . Glenn i'ovvnder helped take in Gulli ver . . . Saturday night, Wally’s dance uptown . . . good show though . . . For Sundays Clat skanie is a good place . . . kinda bad having the holidays come with Sunday on account on the repressed celebration . . Monday is a good day though ... it begins the preparation for New Years . . . never could figure out what the big idea of two big nights so close together is for . . . Christmas is cele brating Christ's birthday and New Years evidently the be ginning of our AD stuff . . . seems as though they should be on the same day .... Stranger things happened though . . . take for instance, our pal, Larry Hilair’s estab lishment . . . He has that cute original “the best people in the world are our customers” sign and motto . . . hut he sure missed his cue when the Oregon mob moved in . . . It’s still a good place to pay high prices for poor service and worse stuff . . . Paid Ad . . . Sluther Sluth is reported watching Barbara Trim after after she revealed confidences during the holidays. . . . BRAWL.: the Miami Triad deal in town Sunday night . . . mostly not present Oregon's . . . not everyone was in that condition either but it was tip sy .. . not only that but the guys that went forked over ?t-50 per couple . . . most of ’em outside are wondering how they got by John Law as the town was not supposed to have had public dances on Sunday. GOOD DEAL: the Chi Psi’s party on the Lake Bonneville . . . dancing on the river can be fun, if you have a boat under you. . . . SOITOLDHIMOFE: Jo Sti nette . . . says she isn’t going to date this term . . . She is through with men . . . Joe G must have run out of Christ mas cards. . . . Betcha: few, if any resolu tions will remain very long to be one the safe side, at least one person didn’t make some . . . . Interview Oregon has a good team and should do very well in the con ference, Wally Jo and Bob . . . OSC has a little guard named Valenti that is good, but other than that the Beavers just look “big and rough.” THEY WENT TO MT. HOOD TO SKI, but it rained all the time so they played bridge . . . Hockey, Delores, Mary, and Johnney. . . . Anticipated ... a couple of rings to be planted soon . . . Ellen Baldwin, a Phi, got Hal Haener’s ring the other day. . . Sutley Returns From National Meeting Paul Sutley, executive secretary of the YMCA, returned to the campus Tuesday after attending a national Youth Committee Against War meeting in Chicago during vacation. Chairman of the nomination and personnel committee at the con ference, Sutley was appointed to the national council, between-con ference governing body, by Frank lin Littel, national president. Plans are being made, Sutley said, to re-form the campus Youth Committee Against War started last year. With the local chapter of the Fellowship of Reconcilia tion as organizer, the group will probably include high school as well as college students, Sutley said. Few in Infirmary During Christmas, New Year Holidays “Meddy Grismus (sniff) add a Habby Dew Year—phooey,” em phatically state the remaining inmates of the campus infirmary who were passed up by the hol iday fever only "to catch one of a more serious nature. Hospital routine continued as usual over both Christmas and New York. Even Santa Claus couldn't deliver his presents af ter visiting hours. The scarlet fever cases were dispensed with over the holi days while colds and flu predom inated. For two days the infirm ary had no patients whatsoever. The two inmates there yester day were Imola Mitchell and James Lonergan. Winter Ter m (.Continued from page one) dean’s office by 7:30 that morn ing, and rushees may get them between 8 and 9. Replies, also sent exclusively through the dean’s of fice, must be in by 9:30. Saturday evening will be prefer ence dinner night on sorority row, with pledge dinners scheduled for Sunday noon. Rushing in men’s groups will not observe a special rush week, but open rushing will be in force for all fraternities who have not yet completed their quotas. Greeks must file their desire to pledge new men in the office of the dean of men before so doing. We asked an authority on business . Jan. 2, 1940 Work on the Emerald is excellent business training- and is a valuable part of a student’s experience. A newspaper is not merely a literary project: it is a business enterprise. It affords work in advertising-, managerial experience and contact with business men in the com munity. Students in business adminis tration will find time spent in promot ing the Emerald’s work an excellent investment. VICTOR P. MORRIS, Dean, School of Business Administration Dean Morris' letter is so similar to word received from leaders in other fields of business . . . manufacturing, retailing, whole saling, etc. . . . that wc wish to let you know of it. Students who wish an opportunity to participate in the business department of the Oregon Daily Emerald should see George Luoma, Emerald Manager.
