Grades, Pins Go Together, Bryant Finds; 8-Baller Does Homework By JACK BRYANT If you want to date on this campus, the best thing to do is to either hang your pin or go steady. Figures show that one out of every three girls in campus living organizations are spoken for. Of the approimately 900 girls in liv ing organizations, about one out of 6 have fraternity pins, the same number go steady and about 50 have engagement rings. Business Bad Allowing for the fact that this is spring term, business is defi nitely off. According to some of the girls, the fellows are having a harder time trying to plant their pins. The fellows claim the crop of beauties are not up to snuff. At any rate, spring is gen erally accepted by campus lovers as the time to be in love. Generally speaking, a fratern ity pin on a coed means to the other fellows, “hands off, she’s spoken for,” and not a great deal else. It’s just kind of an insur ance policy for going steady. Life Sentences Scarce Although no figures are avail able on the number of pins that stay (for life) a guess along with the experts would say that at least 9 out of 10 pins never stay planted. More figures on the present situation show among other things the four houses with the highest number of frat pins are the Alpha Phis with a 3.06 aver age; the Pi Phis with a 3.2 aver age; the Alpha Chis with, a 3.9 and the AOPis with an even 4 point. A comparison with the top houses in pins and the bottom houses in pins show a decided ten dency to the fact that the houses with the best pin averages also make the best grades. The one glaring exception to this is the Alpha Chis who rank third in pins, but eighteenth in grades. What Is This Fascination? One of the most interesting sidelights on campus pin planting is the remarkable record the Phis have set. To date there is only one girl in the house who has not at one time or another had a fraternity pin. (Freshmen don’t count.) An unofficial scorecard on cam pus pin plantings follows with no figures guaranteed to be accurate except of the second they were tabulated: The Oregon Daily Emerald, official publication of the University of Oregon, published daily during the college year except Bondayi, Mondays, holidays, and final examination periods.

Layouts 'Without Official Sanction’ LECTIONEERING handbills, ill-advisedly and secretly conceived and inserted by unauthorized partisans, were thought so high ly of by the opposition as to form the basis for a judiciary petition Monday night; in fad this was the sole excuse for the petition to have the freshman election ruled illegal. Regardless of the fact that the bills were in direct contravention to the Emerald policy established this year from this editorial chair, and regardless of the fact that: immediately with the discovery of the fraud the impetus for disciplinary action came from this same chair, there could be no more complete vindi cation for Emerald fairness than the crystal clear language of Dean Wayne L. Morse, head of the judiciary committee. distributing the Emerald acted without any official sanction of the responsible offi cers of the Emerald.” It was never clear just how the protestors « # * GAN Morse found that “the carriers in managed to convince even themselves that the presence of extraneous handbills, not even printed in Emerald type, was sufficient to establish a tie-in with the Emerald itself. It could have just as well been a movement to oust the dean of women, but that would have been no more an Emerald action than the handbills. =» .. # # JT always seemed to us that these handbills were obviously foreign, especially in view of the fact that the Emerald has eight pages of SO column inches each in which it could do a thorough job of endorsing candidates if it so desired—and it has not so desired. An impartiality which must be fought for seems a strange paradox. Those who tamper therewith bite the hand that feeds, with a surprising lack of perception as to possible adverse consequences to the interests they try so hard to promote. After all, there are few these days who are so naive as to believe in peace at any price. Four for Four—Too Few "Y'ESTERDAY'S annual nominating conven tion succeeded in accomplishing exactly what was expected ot‘ a tight political race. Four candidates were nominated. The four who were nominated were the only ones eligible under the constitution, spe cifically because the requirement is that the candidate file declaration of intent to run and eligibility before midnight of the second day before elections. For a student body with a paid up mem bership in the neighborhood of a thousand and a half, four candidates for four offices would seem hardly to offer much voting choice. The only choice open now is as to which position the candidates shall hold, for if no others are nominated the executive com mittee for next year is signed and sealed. * * * course not all the student body is eli ^ gible. for “full junior standing” is a pre requisite. as is three cofiVplete years at the University of Oregon. These two provisions limit the field considerably. What is actually happening is pre-selec tion, which is not in itself an evil. But there is no denying that there ought to he more candidates for there is still good material which lias not been considered. The lists are not yet dosed, for there is still the alternative of petitions signed by fifty ASUO members, presented to John Dick not later than tomorrow, or “two days after the regular nominations.” * % * S to where these additional candidates might originate, there is no indication. Under the present system, in order to win a nomination a candidate must declare his own intention of running, which leaves no room for any real nomination from the floor. More than four people are undoubtedly willing to enter the race. In the interest of good and participant student government the list of candidates should be lengthened. Alpha Chi Omega .

Our clean-up committee is reporting difficulty in getting the campus sidewalks cleaned. Jack McCliment, the fellow that is getting all the publicity, couldn’t be reached last nfght, but some of the bloc’s leaders were contacted and they assured Jay Graybeal and committee that the stuff was merely kalsomine. At the same time they denied any knowledge of who put it on. In fact they plan to cash in on all the free publicity from the paintings. It seems they haven't given up protesting the election yet. Jay wants to get the campus cleaned up, and plans further ad vances in case of failure of the present proceedings. Just what the committee has up its collective sleeves they won’t r -veal at pres ent.

The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLEY Glenn Miller Still King, Poll Shows Latest results of the Gallop Poll (vote while you run) don’t seem to show much change in the musical tastes of the country. Glenn Miller is still King of Swing with Benny Goodman fol lowing close behind. During the last few months Gene Krupa has risen in popular favor far more rapidly than any other band; in taking third place he nosed out the two Dorseys, Duke Elling ton, and several other topnotchers of long standing.
