And how will you have your next Rush Week, rare or well done ? But now that it’s over and we can all talk to everyone again, it seems especially appropriate to Welcome all the freshmen who will probably be setting out on an ad venturous year in this institution. This year’s crop - we’re glad to meet you. But for a real greeting, you just can’t beat the little green “Wel come Book.” It puts the whole thing so aptly somehow. We ran across an intriguing helpful paragraph that began with “a few of the questions you will be asking before long.” We’d like to offer a preview of some of the questions put forth in the little book with some canned answers that might save some wear and tear on your otherwise occupied mind later on. It’s best you should bear in mind that the "Welcome Book” advises that the best answers have already been prepared and are to be found in the University library on a spe cial shelf in the recreational read ing room. The questions? Oh, all right. 1. “How can T enlarge my circle of worthwhile friends?” (from the “Welcome Book.”) Ans. Coming near the head of the list, this query seems to be rated a puzzler. We have pondered the problem ever since the Wel come Book fell into our hands and at this point the solution seems to be to have your mother send down a batch of food so that you can lure your acquaintances into a lasting friendship. It’ll last as long as the food does. Or, if you have a car you are almost sure to have a large circle of kind and well-meaning friends about you al most all the time. And dates, too. 2. "How can I speed up my stud ies so that I can keep pace with a fast-moving class?” Ans. You can ask someone who knows and steer clear of fast-mov ing classes, or if you’re foolhardy, you can just take a chance. Cas ualties in class are pretty rare. 3. How can I learn to concen trate so that I will be so absorbed in my work that I will not be eas ily distracted or drift into day dreams ?” Ans. Gosh, as soon as the libo opens you'd better go into the rec reational reading room and look at the shelf of answers.

Glamour Girls Now But - Wait Until It Rains The average female upperclassman feels about as gay as a ghoul when she catches a glimpse of the new freshman coeds. With their childlike hair ribbons and their unaffected (but so effective!) stares, they are a real menace to anyone’s peace of mind. Many beautiful heads of hair have been ripped out, curl by curl, and tossed dismally to the floor; and many neat nail polish jobs have been ruined by gnashing teeth, all as a result of this devastating invasion of the campus. But before you pull out all your new permanent, or gnaw your nails completely to the bone- before' you kick yourself again because, you didn’t take that pin last springs (all right, he WAS a droop, but at least there wouldn’t have been this -this BLANKNESS staring yon in the face)- please consider the mys tery of the vanishing beauties. you might let us in on what you find out. 4. “How can I keep fit mentally as well as physically?” Ans. The way we look at it is: you gotta take your choice. You’ll probably be asking your self some other things too, but this ; just gives you a rough idea of what | you’re in for. Just go up to one of the stately ladies behind the li ! brary information desk anti put : your problems to her. She’ll show you the shelf of answers. A final look at the “Welcome Book" should convince you of its determination to be helpful. And oh, pay heed to this ominous note of warning: “Don’t envy the edu cated man be one. Many students with high ambitions have frittered away the years in college in day dreaming and unplanned and fu til activity. Plainly, you need a plan. ...” If you forget all else, just re member to keep your finger in the pie, your nose to the grindstone, your ear to the ground, and you’ll be all right. Cheerio! Pat Erickson. What HAPPENS to them? Ev ery year beautiful and w e 11 - groomed in October, they often nlerit the ancient greeting, “Hail, hag!” by January. Their perfectly curled hair is as often as not con cealed beneath the folds of an old bandanna , protected from the ruin ous Oregon mist. Their gleaming white saddles or wooden shoes are hidden under layer upon layer of Eugene mud. Their smooth brows are contracted with the effort to remember what it was they were supposed to read for Lit. Survey. Various explanations are offered for this change. Some of them may wail “It’s this college life!”—Cali fornians just escaped from a flood or an earthquake may howl "It’s GHASTLY Oregon WEATHER!” activity girls mutter about there being so little time, and we don't know quite what to believe. Anyhow, let’s not worry too much about the freshmen's prob lems. It’s too bad, but what can WE upperclassmen do? (But we still wonder; what HAPPENS to them ?) Jo Chrystall HOT BOX DEPARTMENT A pretty "smooth’ rusher at one of the sororities was dismayed last week as she was trying to convince a rushee. After listening through an en tire dinner to assorted small talk the freshman blandly inquired of \ her, "Do you major in speech?” too rtoe a r „ 828 Willamotte St. Good Shoes Phone 3428 Properly Fitted FOR HER.

Yes, it was a hectic rush week, and the new pledges agree that they are certainly gl'ad it’s all over. “Why we couldn't sleep at night we were so nervous, and in the morning we were scaled to death to even go over and get our bids," added Helen. “I've heard tales of the Spanish inquisition,” ventured another freshman rushee, “but they didn’t frighten me nearly as much as the ones I heard about rush week and placement exams.” Worst of all, maintain the girls, were the rules prohibiting them from talking to their boy friends. Already lonesome without mother and dad, many tearful lasses gath ered in the dorm rooms at night to weep on each other's shoulders. Even now that rush week is over, those who went through the ordeal claim that they wake up in the night shaking their right hand with their left one, and grinning into space. “Anyway, we got free food and cigarettes, even though we don’t remember what we ate or whether we smoked roll-your-owns or ci gars,” concluded the rushees. —Corinne Wignes Business staff this issue: Fred VVelty Alvera Traeda Mary Kay Riodan Jeanette Christensen Helene Wilmot Jean Routt | Night staff: Tommy Wright, night editor Kent Stitzer Jeanette Eddy Hunter Van Sickel Jean Spearow Ray Foster Ray Schrick Stan Weber Howard Bankus Reporting and copyediting staff: Ray Schrick, desk editor Betty Jane Biggs Jeanne Younger Bertie Stephens Barbara Lamb Jeanette Eddy Pat Chalmers Stan Weber Frances Oliver Dorothy Routt Ep Hoyt Betty Jane Poindexter Patricia Plinsky Wes Sullivan Tommy Wright Howard Bankus Bob Hiatt PLEDGES DANCE Oregon colors decorated Gerlin ger hall Tuesday night when Greeks honored their new pledges with a formal dance, the tradition al finale for rush week.
