Springfield busses leave on the

It’s an inexpensive way to amuse

Hello! 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. And say,

Extra Scotch
Tweeds that almost speak with
a Scottish burr are having their
fling this fall. Two Hun plaid com
binations are shown above: 1)
Green, rod and natural plaid wool,
the jacket with rounded lapels, a
four-gored skirt; 2) tail, white and
teal lilue Glen plaid, a long jacket,
a tour-gored skirt.
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 ?)

“How do you do, Mary Lou?”
Mary Lou said, and then her knees
began to shake as she suddenly
remembered it was her own name
she was muttering.
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.
