Avoid the Rush COME IN NOW FOR YOUR HAIRCUT CHARLIE ELLIOTT’S Barber Shop Alder between 12th & 13th JUMPING JALOPIES... Tin Cans/ Club Cars, All Come to Oregon Ry ADELF, RAY The old jalopy age when thp kids camo to Oregon to lark around in model T’s and A’s with big red "O, You Kid” and "Capacity Ten Gals," painted on them is swiftly giving way to the age of club ears and smooth convertibles that have ev erything on the dashboard but a hamburger grill. Around about 1931, the Board of Higher F.ducation began to dis courage students from bringing their cars'to school, but this did n’t click with the students—or the parents. Tf Nancy had a pink Olds mobile, m’gosh, she had one, and she wanted to use it at school; not wait until summer to lake it to the swimmin’ hole. Control The board compromised and said that students could bring cars but they would have to be controlled by the University. So every win ter and fall term since 1932 stu dents have been required to reg ister their cars. Spring term, only cars which have been brought to the campus since fail and winter term need to be registered. In 1932, genial, rad-haired O. L. Rhinesmith took over his job as campus policeman and every one knows where his cozy little office is beneath the blossoming trees be hind Friendly. In the linoleum floored room which used to be the fruit-canning and jam-preserving niche of the old men’s dorm, can be found no jam except that con cerning traffic. All the students who have brought cars since the office began its work are listed there. Men Lead According to Mrs. Rhinesmith, who works as secretary in her hus band’s office, there have been, since the records began, many more boys listed as car-operators than girls. The number of cars has increased greatly since 1932 when it was back somewhere around the four-hundred mark, and there are now 639 cars listed as registering this fall term. Seventy-nine of this year’s cars are from California, 12 are from Washington, and then there are cars from Idaho, Nebraska, Texas, Missouri, South Dakota, Illinois, Colorado, Ohio, New York, Penn sylvania, West Virginia, Utah, Ne vada, Montana, and the Hawaiian Islands. Of course the majority of the cars are from Oregon. Winter Back “Usually there are more cars registered fall and spring terms I than winter term,” said Mrs. Rhinpsmith. “Perhaps it’s because of the weather in spring or fall. Or maybe it’s because quite a few of the students sell their cars winter term.” Judging from the figures if stu dents do sell their cars winter term, they buy new ones as easily as spring hats, because spring shows some of the heaviest regis tration figures. In the spring of ’39, there were 74S cars enrolled. This spring there are 044 cars registered. But no matter what the season, the campus policeman has no trou ble controlling the car situation. That is not very often. Right now, there’s some prankish citizen of Oregon who persists in driving his car over the campus. Mr. Rhine smith is just glad the rest of the students aren't following in his tracks. Book-of-Month Club Installed at Co-op The University Co-op will handle Book-of-the - Month memberships for students, M. F. McClain, man ager of the store announced Tues day.
