'Ideal1 Candidates
Nine Organizations Miss Entry Deadline,
Additional Time to Be Given for Selection;
Final Eliminations to Come Later in Week
By BETTY JANE BIGGS
First step in choosing the ideal college couple, the guests of honor
at the Sophomore Informal Saturday night, was taken Monday when
all but nine living organizations turned in names of their representa
tives in the sophomore popularity contest.
Because of the failure of one women’s and eight men's houses to have
the names of their candidates ready by the deadline last night, Nancy
Activities Board
Checks Budget
Student Directory
Left to Undergrad
Management
WHAT THE BOARD DTD:
1. Heard a financial and bud
get report and approved several
changes in the regular budget.
2. Voted to continue the stu
dent director as a student project
rather than turn it over to the
University as an official func
tion.
3. Voted a special appropria
tion to the Emerald to cover the
costs of the special “Victory Edi
tion” of December 1.
A detailed financial and budget
report to November 29 was heard
and approved by the Educational
Activities board in a short business
meeting last night. Several small
changes were reported and ap
proved.
The committee also heard a sug
gestion that the ASUO directory,
popularly known as the “Pigger's
Guide,” be turned over to the Uni
versity as an official function. Aft
er some discussion on the setup at
ether colleges the board voted to
continue the publication of the di
rectory as a student function.
The valuable experience given
students in editing and in selling
the guide and a favorable record
under the present method were
among the reasons for the action.
The Daily Emerald was voted an
appropriation to cover the costs of
its special “Victory Edition” of
Sunday evening. The appropriation
will be an addition to the Emerald
budget.

Nothing like rehearsing over
time. Last night the walls of Al
pha Gamma Delta resounded
with a reprimanding voice that
repeated "Kate Thomas!” An in
vestigation revealed that it was

her part so seriously that she
sleeps on it, and dreams out loud.
/ There may be nothing new
' under the sun, but under the
moon, there is room for debate.

To Cooperation
By Football Heroes
Celebration-bent Oregon stu

o’clock yesterday and followed
their leaders through four hours of
chanting, parading, and dancing. A
football rally in the Igloo was the
first of the official trio of celebra
tions.
Coach Gerald “Tex” Oliver, ad
dressing the assembly, declared
that he considered Oregon the team
which deserved to win, explaining
that the Webfoots voted to come
back from their Thanksgiving holi
day two days early in order to
practice for the “Civil war” game.
Senior players gave short speeches.
Beta Theta Pi fraternity made
the coup of the assembly, entering
with a sizable chunk of the Ore
gon State goal posts. Lou Torgeson
explained that the Betas disguised
themselves as Beavers, got into
Bell field, shoved the post out un
der the gate, and got away suc
cessfully—all in the early morning
hours.
As announced in Monday’s Em
erald extra, cigarettes, gum, and
cokes went to the organizations
displaying the best signs ridiculing
Oregon State. Kappa Kappa Gam
ma sorority and Sigma Chi fratern
ity were adjudged winners.
The Igloo, its basketball floor
covered with mats, rang with the
roars as the living organizations
responded to the rollcall of houses.
The yell leaders gave a skit and a
take-off on the “rock to it” tactics
of UCLA’s yell kings. Les Ready
led the crowd in “Mighty Oregon.”
Ray Dickson’s band started off
its busy day with two numbers at
the rally, “One o'clock Jump” and
“I Surrender Dear.” Trudy Ilar
land sang a chorus of the latter.

Teeth, Pan ts, Tempers
Lost at Closing Signal
By BOB WHITELY
“Custer’s last stand” was a pink
tea party compared to come of the
“last stands" made after the game
at Corvallis Saturday.
There were a lot of Oregonians
who not only fired up their spirits
during the game, but drank them
as well, with the one idea pounding
in their heads—“We’ve just gotta
get those goal posts.”
Two minutes before the final
whistle, the Oregon boys started
moving in towards the Beaver goal
posts. When the whistle sounded
.the rooters on both sides politely
doffed their rooters’ lids to con
ceal their identity, and then went
to it.
Jack Boone had the “honor” of
reaching the OSC goal posts first,
and with the help of a few broth
ers” was hoisted up on the cross
bar. The odds-heavy Beavers
[ quickly surrounded the area and
Boone was left to get the goal
posts by himself.
They got hold of his jacket and
I ripped it to shreds, but he still
hung on. Then a catastrophe oc
curred! Feeling a chill wind, he
looked down and came to the reali
zation that he was at half-mast!
Someone had stolen his pants! A
couple of more minutes up there
and he would have been a modern
Godiva.
Ducks Plucked
In the course of the afternoon’s
fray, several Ducks lost their pro
tective covering—namely jackets
and pants. Teeth were sown all
over Bell field like so much wheat,
but the Beaver goal post still re
mained intact.
Prize crack of the skirmish oc
curred as some Beaver who ducked
a haymaker, and gazing around to
see where it came from, really got
one hung on him. Feeling his
teeth to see if they were all there,
and with a dazed look in his eye,
he mumbled, “Well I’ll be damned!’’
and returned to wreck vengeance.
For a good hour after the game
both sides surged back and forth,
till both agreed “that fight called
on account of darkness.”
Duck Rooters
Halt Traffic
With Parade
'Rally-Rally Spirit'
Keynotes Dance
In Gerlinger Hall
Tho snowball street parade nt
one o'clock serpentined its way
around the campus, led by the rally
committee and the University
band. Also in the fore were PiKA
pledges with a "Welcome Oregon”
sign done in orange and black and
looking suspiciously like a Cor
vallis product.
Othery signs were carried by tho
various houses. The line of stu
dents, linked arm in arm, alter
nately walked and ran down the
streets, ran from side to side, and
toole up impromptu cheers and
songs.
Traffic on Thirteenth avenue
came to a standstill during the lat
ter part of the parade. The Eu
gene-Springfield bus passengers
smiled and the stalled drivers
didn't seem to mind. Many Univer
sity students followed the> proces
sion in their cars, nosing in and
about the iast rows of marchers.
With the two ends of the snow
ball procession converging in front
of Gerlinger, the band struck up
"Mighty Oregon.” The doors to the
hall opened and it was catch-as
catch-can as the mammoth stag
line melted out onto the slippery
floor with hastily-selected coeds.
Dickson’s orchestra played for
the dance, including various special
swing and slow numbers. In be
tween numbers the Oregon victory
bell sounded. Among the special ar
rangements was the "Oregon Stato
Blues,” composed, Dickson an
nounced, on the spot.
Sophs Approve
More Members
Skull and Dagger
Decides to Raise
Maximum to 20
Recognizing’ the rapid growth of
the University of Oregon during
the past five years, members of
Skull and Dagger, sophomore ser
vice honorary for men, passed a
constitutional amendment to in
crease the membership in their or
ganization at their regular meeting
last Thursday night.
The revised constitution, which
will set minimum membership at
17 with a maximum number of 20
men allowed, will become effective
next year. Under the former con
stitution membership was limited
to 15.
“Since we believe that Oregon
is fast becoming a major college
and will continue to grow, and in
recognition of the fact that organ
ization and participation of inde
pendent students in activities is
desirable, we believe we are taking
a forward step,” a spokesman for
Skull and Dagger stated.
The constitution, as in the past,
will limit membership to not more
than one man from each living or
ganization, and will automatically
allow more outstanding indepen
dent men to be chosen. This will
bring wider and more direct con
tact with a larger number of Ore
. gon students, the service club
members believe.
Announcement was made at the
meeting that President Donald M.
Erb will be the next guest speaker
on the honorary’s program of in
formal discussions with University
and campus leaders.
After receiving her first college
degree 42 years ago, Mrs. John A.
Davenport this year entered South
Dakota State university law school
I as a freshman.
