Ducks Trek
Homeward;
Classes Meet
Friday saw many Oregon
students leaving the campus
for home towns, or for Port
land. Many will stay through
Tuesday to see Oregon play
the Santa Clara Broncos in
Multnomah civic stadium.
Classes will meet Monday as
scheduled.
A plan had once been pushed
to hold Monday classes Saturday,
but this was declared impractical
in view of the fact that many
sUidents have Saturday jobs.
Students planned to take advan
tage of allowed cuts by going
home for a four-day weekend.
Woody Hite
Woody Hite's orchestra will
play for a rally dance at the Ma
sonic temple in Portland at 9 p.m.
ROTC’s crack honor team, com

time in the Santa Clara game.

Hazel P. Schwering, dean of
women, has granted 12:15 permis
sion to University women for
Monday night.

Monday morning, but no issues
will appear Tuesday or Wednes
day mornings, Fred O. May, busi
ness manager, has announced.
The four - day Thanksgiving
weekend, now only two weeks
away, is expected to decrease the
number of students that might
ordinarily go to the game this
weekend.

No Superstitions
Haunt Healing Hut

stition among the enlightened
personnel of the Pill Palace, as
witnessed by recently-assembled
data. The building is on 13th

numbered 13.

thirteen patients Friday: Merritt

Shoes in Style for Sadie Hawkins'
By JANET WAGSTAFF
With the approach of Novem
ber 8, "official” Sadie Hawkins
day, a void was noted in the so
cial plans of campus No. 1. Nary
a handicap race, yea, nary even
a Dog Patch Dance is scheduled.
So a symposium seeming suit
able, statements of students here
and there were garnered.
Betty Coed
It says here that Betty (coed)
Kincaid thinks it's an okay idea,
and ought to give a girl a chance
' to get a “man” at least once a
year.
If On the other side, sophomores’
Joe College, Bill Lyon, said, "If
we handled it right we could
really have a lot of fun with it.”
But then he reconsidered, in the
light of the bare feet idea, and
concluded that Mortar Board
takes care of the thing. “Bare
feet might be all right in spring,
but not now,” he decided.
Chased Enough
Concensus of Gamma Phi opin
ion was relayed via phone by
freshman Rosslyn Morrill, “Don’t
think it’s such a good idea. The
men around here get chased
enough as it is.”
After moments of weighty pon
dering Lou “the prexy” Torgeson
handed down this decision, “It’s
enough to disrupt any system.”
Corrine Nelson, authority of
the Emerald women's page, re
plied with spirit, “Well, what
would I want with a Sadie Haw
kins day!” referring, of course,
to Pappy Lyle.
Bob Whitely, columnist, said,
“It wouldn’t matter whether I
were confined in bed, or locked
up in a block of cement. Mean
ing: I don’t need to worry.”
B. J. Biggs claimed she’d like
to tell what she thought of Li’l
Abner. “I wish he wasn’t just in
the funny papers.” Then she add
ed more seriously, “I guess we
really should let Mortar Board be,
and do it up with our shoes on.”
No comment was forthcoming
from Oregon's own Li’l Abner,
Elliot Wilson of gridiron note, so
Duck opinion is not yet massed
enough to form a decision.
Kratt Attends
Chicago Meet
Dr. Theodore Kratt, dean of the
school of music, wHl leave Wed
nesday,. November 12, for Chicago

ard Hansen's “Romantic” sym
phony.

May Recommend
Possibility of an executive com

as uniform eligibility requirement
in all campus activities, appeared
at the executive committee meet
ing Friday afternoon.
At present, ASUO President
Lou Torgeson explained last

of scholastic eligibility. The
ASUO constitution asks for a 2
point, if a person has completed
more than 93 hours. The dean of

hours have a 1.75, and that a per
son with more than 93 hours have
a 2-point. The AWS requires a
2-point in all cases.
