Reports Show Men Still Can Pick 'em at Leisure By BOB WHITELY One of the topics of conversation this fall was the delightful dis cussion and treatises on all the women that were starting school in the fall, and also of all the gals that were coming back. It seems that I had a razzle dazzle story on the fire to give the males of the campus a break for a change by coming out with the statement that there are three women to every man on the campus this year. Paper Wasted It seems that in spite of all that I could do, there still re mains on these lovely ancient gardens of Oregon, more men students enrolled than women ne cessitating throwing a good story in the waste basket. But there is one explanation that will solve the whole thing. Of the men enrolled a good 50 per cent of them are working their way through, and, therefore, are most of the time out of commis sion as far as the women are concerned. Therefore, by using this method of reasoning, I still say that there are over two girls to the boy at Oregon. More Brass Fraternity pin sales will un doubtedly increase with this sit uation, as campus piggers will have two or three pins out at one time to keep up with this emer gency. No longer will the fella remark that “I like this house or that one. . . He’ll say, “I like ALL the house now.” Men on the campus are going hog wild over the thought of not having to worry about dates any more with so many of the stu dents working nights. Even some of the law school students are an ticipating getting into the social swim after giving their all for Fenton hall for a couple of years. The new battle cry is not “V for Victory” but “honeys for hapless he-men.” Let’s see what some of the campus luminaries have to say about this present situation: Gory’s Glory Marvin “Littleface” Gory, well known pigger and independent lover, remarks that, “things are picking up fast, and that I like the present setup immensely. For the first time in my life I think I a msomebody, and that I can be fickle for a change.” Norman “ersatz” Wiener, dubbed the “bigamist barrister” by his law school colleagues states that, “I have been trying to get a date for Mortar Board r Pianist Will Give Schubert Recital Leone LaDuke, holder of the Phi Beta piano scholarship, will be heard on station KOAC, Wed nesday evening at 8:00 o’clock, George Hopkins, professor of pi ano, announced last night. This will initiate a series of perform ances to be given each Monday and Wednesday evening by Cam pus musicians. Miss LaDuke will play Schubert’s “Impromptu” in B flat. “During several weeks study in Hollywood this summer, I gained many new ideas for this kind of program which I hope to use for a very interesting series this year,” Mr. Hopkins stated. Former U of 0 Student Gets Navy Assignment Reporting to duty in Seattle Monday, Ensign John W. Gen dron, son of Mr. and Mrs. U. J. Gendron of Portland, recently re ceived his instructions for his assignment in the United States navy. Gendron was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1940 and attended one year of law school at Georgetown university before beginning study for his commission at Northwestern uni versity. Gendron received his commis sion September 12. At Oregon he was a member of Delta Upsilon. for the last five years, and ac cording to the figures ... I think maybe this is my year to shine.” Stein Hopeless Morrie Stein, who was christ ened the “Olympia Whirliwnd” after his extensive pigging cam paign at Fort Lewis last summer, blandly remarks that the current situation doesn’t affect him in the least. “I couldn’t get a date anyway.” So, with half of the men on the campus working, it looks like a oanner year for the fortunate few who can live a life of ease and honey. The old age complaint of “Wei, I can’t get a date, or I don’t know anyone” is all through. The gals state that the competition is going to be tough . . . but they love it. 1 PRESTON & HALES For Decorating Your Room or Furniture USE FULLER PAINTS Phone 665 FULLER PRINTS Miey last. ) 857 Willamette SOPH Moleskins in all sizes UPPER CLASS ROUGH RIDER CORDS ° 0 Get Yours at "The Man's Shop" Byrom & Kneeland 32 E. 10th Squad Needs Senior A vacancy on the rally com mittee for one senior man was revealed last night by ASUO President Lou Torgeson.

Mr. McCrosky went to work in the Co-op store after its founding and found working there a fellow law student, a Miss Alice Sutton, known to one and all as “Red,” owing to her titian locks. She eventually became young Mc Crosky’s mother and is now a member of the bar.
