Frosh, Soph Goons
To Play Roly-Poly
(Editor’s Note: Reporter
Whitely is a sophomore, and all
partial viewpoints reflected here
in are those of the correspond
ent and not of the Emerald.)
By BOB WHITELY
It seems that the annual tug
o’ war between the freshman and
the sophomores held Junior
Weekend is a little too rowdy,
and too many of the participants
get bruised up . . . so, in place
of the traditional grunt and groan
match, a game of “push-ball”
will be inaugurated.
The game is played with a big
rubber ball . . . about seven feet
in diameter, and the idea of the
thing is to push it across the
opponents’ goal line. In simpler
terms . . . the ball is placed in
the middle of a big field marked
with outside lines and a goal line.
As soon as the whisle is blown,
both sides go to it . . . 1,000,000
B.C. fashion. It will be undoubted
ly a contest of the survival of
the fittest, which lets a lot of
“muscle-men” out, and the only
penalties involved are that you
don’t beat your opponent over
the head with a club . . . when
the referee is looking.
“It will literally be a push over
for the burly sophomores,” said
Class President Bud Vande^
neynde, “we’ve been waiting a
whole year to show our superi
ority over them in combat.”
Freshman Class President Jim
Burness couldn’t be reached for a
statement on the contest, but it

BA Men Hurl
Law Challenge
Back to Fenton
In curtly-clipped business-like
phrases, the students of the BA
school replied favorably to the
law school baseball game chal
lenge tendered them yesterday.
“We’d like to have a keg of
beer put up—winner take all,’’
read a part of the reply, which
was left at the Emerald office
Tuesday afternoon.
Students responsible for the
BA school answer were not ascer
tainable. Bob Reckon, head of the
law school weekend plans, asked
if he knew of anyone who would
pen such a statement, replied, “I
didn’t know any of them could
write.”
So the law school dust-gather
ers and the BA school battling
businessmen will tangle in an
other deathly tussle this spring
-—out on the baseball field.

is rumored that the freshman
class is going to resort to “Trojan
Horse” tactics in winning the con
test. According to the sophomore
gestapo, they plan to conceal sev
eral of their smaller members in
the ball and resort to foul play
to win.
At first the idea was to have
50 pidked men from each class,
but the freshmen couldn’t find
that number among them, so both
classes are going out in full force
for the battle.
The staid juniors and seniors
mumble “kid stuff” between puffs
of Bond Street when asked as to
what they think of the coming
contest, and the law school boys
think that push ball is a combina
tion of tiddle-de-winks, backgam
mon and tonk.
“Any time the aging juniors
and seniors want to have a little
private contest we’ll be glad to
oblige,” stated Vandeneynde,
“just as soon as we polish off the
freshmen.”

String Tying a la Kitchen
Jeff Cleans Up Ends
By JOANNE NICHOLS
“Just tying up the loose ends”
is what Jeff Kitchen calls his job
as acting assistant educational
activities manager for the rest of
the term.
And one of the strangest ex
amples of his job was a police
call asking him to tie up the loose
end of one of the big cross-street
banners advertising Alec Temple
ton’s appearance.
Most of his work is routine
business, Kitchen says. Among
this is included cooperation with
the student body president’s of
fice in the preparation of the
much-discussed activities card
file and publicity for educational
activities.
Another proposed project is
help to the department and to
living organizations in the com
pilation of a properties file which
would list items needed for ASUO
functions, dances, etc., such as
lights, loud - speaking systems,
and students available for mural
drawing. Kitchen also plans the
completion of a talent file.
Sixty per cent of the depart
ment’s work is publicity, accord
ing to Kitchen. This includes let
ters, newspaper stories, inter
views, and posters.
Biggest jobs now ahead of the
educational activities office are
Junior Weekend and commence
ment. “We want to cooperate
with the Junior Weekend com
mittee wherever we can help
them,” Kitchen declared.
The formation of plans for
careful distribution of pigger’s
guides to living organizations and
the preparation of financial state
ments in cooperation with the de
partment’s secretary, is part of
this year’s work, Kitchen stated.
“I certainly appreciate the co
operation of George Luorna's
staff in helping me get started,”
said Kitchen. “They've done par
ticularly good work acting as
usherettes in the educational ac
tivities movies.”
Tea Scheduled for
Mothers on May 9
Tea will be served in Gerlinger
lall for all mothers who attend
Junior Weekend from 3 to 5 Fri
day afternoon. May 9. Hostesses
'or the tea will be Jo Bullis, Bil

Maxine Hansen, Marge Hosfeldt,
Marge McLean, Barbara Pierce,
Sleanor Sederstrom, Elizabeth

points and Bill Kirkpatrick came
through for 67 to head the list

Flowers go to Fred Stickels if
he ever has a duel for he fired 10

UO Student 'Thrilled'
At Place in Final 50
By MILDRED WILSON
“I was sure excited when I got
the letter. I ran and called up all
my friends long distance—it’s
just wonderful,” declared Isabell
Fortmiller.
The “letter” was her notifica
tion that she had been selected
one of the 50 finalists in the
Vogue “Prix de Paris” contest.
Tall, slender, and red-haired,
Isabell is the first University of
Oregon student to reach the fi
nals of the Vogue contest.
“It took a lot of work—answer
ing some questions and doing
quite a bit of designing—but I
felt that once I got started it
would be sort of silly to quit—
and now I’m glad I didn’t.”
She explained that she
just mailed her 1500 word thesis,
“Dust Thou Art,” to the Vogue
office. Comparison of the themes
submitted will be the basis of se
lecting the final winners of the
nation-wide contest. The first
prize is a year’s work with Vogue
magazine and the second winner
will be given a six-months’ posi
tion on the staff of Vanity Fair.
“Of course if they are good
enough they get to stay on with
the magazine,” Mrs. Fortmiller
remarked. “All the other finalists
will be given honorable mention
—and there will be attempts to
place them in a position some
where.”
An art major, the Vogue final
ist was Isabell Stanley before her
marriage last spring to Earl
Fortmiller.
"I guess my husband is almost
as thrilled about it as I am,” she
said laughingly.
“It’s fortunate that he doesn’t
object to mixing marriage and a
career, too. In fact, I think it will
work out very well because he ia
graduating this year, and then
going on to dental school and if
I do get the chance to go to New
York, we can go together,” Mrs.
Fortmiller revealed.
Her thesis was written on one
of her pet subjects—pottery. I
thought that it would be a bit
unusual because there isn’t a lot
written on pottery—and I’m fas
cinated by work of that type,”
she remarked.
The contest winners will be an
nounced June 1, according to
Mrs. Fortmiller. Just before she
left for the art school, to do a
little more work on some pottery
tea cups she is making, she said,
“I won’t be terribly disappointed
if I don’t win because I haven’t
built up any ideals about it, but,”
and a hopeful note crept into her
voice, “if I do . .
