Rebound From Bedrock
gJOMETIMES there is more than a little evi
dence at hand to indicate that there is
some truth to the proposition that extremes
give rise to other extremes.
Take the case of the honor roll, for in
stance. Fall term saw the honor roll shrink
to a record low in percentage. In the face of
the largest enrollment in history only 118
made the honor roll.
Monday’s list, however, showed a far dif
ferent picture. Witli not quite as high enroll
ment as fall term—for winter quarter always
shows a drop—there were nearly half again
as many names as on the fall term list, while
the four-point group only missed doubling
itself by a gnat’s eyelash.
HEN you stand up winter’s 165 beside
T fall’s 118 it appears that things picked
up very decidedly last term, in the way of
studying at least. And 19 four-points this
time is phenomenal compared with January’s
10. Last year only 186 made it, and the year
before it was 143.
*
There are not many choices when it comes
to explaining the rise. It is not likely that pro
fessorial hearts softened. The only valid con
clusion would seem to be that there was more
application to the business of studying, and
with better success. Winter term grades are
always higher than fall, but not this high.
So if honor roll figures are any indication,
winter term grades were as extremely good
this year as those of fall term were bad. Of
course the honor roll represents only a few of
the three and a half thousand grade-getters in
the University, but the rise ought to be gen
eral, for the honor roll usually parallels all
school figures quite closely.
# # #
^^TTH this most recent winter term’s record
high mark in mind, fall term’s low grades
would seem more of a boon than a calamity,
for if the picture at the start of wdnter quarter
had not been so black it might not have been
so bright now. Extremes breed extremes.
Present honor roll figures stand more
nearly where they o^ight to be.

Spring Brings New Ones
During the last two weeks the
music business has greeted
spring with a whole flock of
new songs, many of which are
already well on their way to be
coming big successes. The
“Broadway Melody of 1940’’
started the ball rolling with two
swell songs: “I've Got My Eyes
on You” and "I Concentrate on
You.” Bob Chester comes forth
with a couple of really smooth
tunes in “With the Wind and the
Rain in Your Hair” and “I Walk
With Music.” Both of these dit
ties have unusual lyrics ex
pressed in a clever fashion.
Glenn Miller’s latest discs in
clude “Sweet Potato Piper” and
“Too Romantic.” Rating: above
average. Glenn also records one
of the tunes from the forthcom
ing picture "Buck Benny Rides
Again”; the tune is “My My.”
‘Tuxedo’ Real Junction
And of course “Tuxedo Junc
tion” is still leading the parade
of nationwide favorites and is
well on its way to becoming a
swing classic. Here is a bit of
interesting info on this pagan
rhythm number: it seems that
it was named after an honest
to-goodness trolley junction in
the steel mill district of Bir
mingham, Alabama. The negro
mill workers go there after
work on their "stepping out”

With JACK BRYANT
This column’s weather fore
casting department predicts
more rain; and for two good rea
sons, first, because more rain
seems inevitable at the time, and
second, it would be nice if we
could be the perfect host and
make our California guests right
at home.
Speaking of California, that
SC (Trojan horse) basketball
team turned out to be a Charlie
horse as they get cleaned before
they get out of the western
playoffs. And those Cal guys
said SC’s team was greater than
our champs. The big difference
between the two teams seems to
be that our team got the points
when they needed them.
All of which brings back mem
ories of the score of the OSC-SC
game. SC edged out a victory by
about 40 points over our country
cousins, or do you remember?
you Beavers. The John Day
Rangers could have done better.
But let’s don’t get down in
the dumps, some of the good
things are coming. Take the
KKK for example. Very clever
these hoys charging 99 cents
for a brunette, 89 for a blonde
and 79 for the committee’s gal
friends. If it were possible the
backers of the dance would
probably put the Igloo on rock
ers to add to the novelty. (May
be that shouldn't have been sug
gested.) But anyway, Friday
night the best advertised dance
of the year comes off with a
full three hour course in Mus
ical Knowledge spiced by a pro
gram that even Clatskanie will
want to tune in on.

she discovered that she cleared

This proved to be a problem
for her sisters though, for she
