At Second (fiance... By TED HARMON Weather Forecast Orchids are purple, Petunias are pink; I’m perpetually floored At the skating rink. SATURDAY NIGHT THE PHONE RANG at the Tri-Delt house, and when a freshman an swered it, a frantic voice asked, “Is it all over your house, too?” The freshman, expecting some thing bubonic, asked him just what was all over what house and received the reply, “The roof.” ^pJNow with last weekend tucked away; without revealing any in formation to the enemy, we can say that it was easily one of the biggest weekends of the whole term. In fact there were so many pin plantings that we're going to scatter the names over two col umns. Alpha Phi’s beauty, Gloria Kibbee, now wears Beta Skibin ski’s pin, making it a right-hand some couple. The magnetic Alpha Chis take first place with five pins being added to their sweat ers. In case you haven’t heard, there’s Mary Arkley wearing Larry Celsi’s OX-brass, Lois Hul ser proudly pinning Beta Bob Mc -^-Kinney’s to her blouse, Gerry Stowell casting deep eye-lashes on Nick Madrin’s Sigma Chi pin, Ann Voderberg taking Thetaki Charlie Haener’s again, and Chuck Putnam proving that he really loves Nelda Rohrbach by giving her his Thetaki badge. On top of that, Freshman Bob Pope gave Ruth Ostrin, Salem, his OX pin, too. In fact, we’re contemplating a plan to call this week Alpha Chi week, although we’re not certain into which gender we should place the last word just before the comma. TRAVELOGUE NO. 5: On oc casion to visit the Aggie campus forty miles north last week end, we found out two things. First, there was Fiji Fred Treadgold with an OSC Kappa at the Lem on-Orange squeeze . . . Theta Marian Marks and Chi Psi Rokie Rodmen were there, too ... as well as Tri-Delt Rylla Hattan with an OSC ATO . . . and Sigma Nu Greg Decker. Secondly, we learned that the houses of the Aggie campus are to have no outside lights burning after 10 p.m., which will necessi tate the girls saying goodbye in ■ftie dark. Too bad . . . it’s really a shame. The latest thing in intermis sion pastime is to remain at the dance and sing fraternity songs; or it might have been put this way . . . that the Miami Triad was a success. Judging from the pictures of the dance, it probably was the best-attended, best dressed, and best behaved of the year. HEART HOPatter; Outside of the general last stand of General Custer along sorority row, two classic remarks must make their way into print. At the Chi O house, the couple stood in the doorway. His eyes were pleading as he said, “Aw, c’mon, Dorothy, have a heart!” She turned her shoulder, “No, thanks anyway. Bill, but we have dinner at 5:30.” Then at the ADPi scramble, a wild-haired lad dashed up to one of the girls in a hurry. “Hey, gal,” he yelled, “can I have this dance?” The answer dropped to the floor in a cake of ice. “Sure, if you can find a partner.” At the Theta house, we over heard this phrase: “I love you more than LIFE itself, or any other ten-cent magazine for that matter.” Meanwhile, a Pi Phi confesses that her parehts had her kid naped twice a week so she could get her picture in the paper. . . . A Phi Delt told us just how far she lived from the campus: “Oh, about five cokes, two hamburg ers, and a candy bar. . . From a Delt: “One cigarette said to the other, “I’ll see you inhale!” CONTEST: As for the past three weeks the weather forecast has stuck to the phrase, “roses are red and violets are blue,” we are opening a contest to get more ideas. Mentally, we’ve been blitzkrieged, and even today, somehow, the roses turned to or chids, and the violets into petun ias. We’d appreciate any contri butions sent in, with the promise to use the author’s name. In fact, since we wrote the last paragraph, we've already had a contribution from A. Guy. To wit: Roses are red, Violets are blue. If your b.f. joined the army You would be, too. So let’s send in our poems about anything, just so they stick to the first two lines already men tioned. In fact, we’re thinking about a monthly prize. A College Romance Mr. meets Miss. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Kisses, Kisses, Mr. and Mrs. In the Mail Bag (Continued from page two) elimination by decree, if economy is the watchword. Why not speci fy no taxis, no cokes or lunches after the dance, no bands, tux edos, or formals. When people reach college age they should be old and wise enough to decide for themselves the relative merits and values of pleasure offered and choose such for themselves as their individual finances will permit. The point we are attempting to make is that many expenses go into an evening of fun and the cost of flowers is not the major one by any means.

By MARY WOLF Here is a recently compiled biography of famous men which may be helpful in those histQry quizzes tossed off every Friday. CHAMBERLAIN—Inventor of the umbrella, designed originally for keeping rain off. Later used it to scare off politicians by open given and worn because of the thrill and pleasure they give. Their value is as real and tangible to those who love their beauty as anything in the world. England has proved to her own satisfac tion that even under the condi tions that she faces today, that flowers are essential and neces sary. Beauty helps maintain mo rale and the little flower girls still maintain their stands on the streets of London and the flower shops are as crowded as ever. Imagine the red faces of the florists of Eugene after placing ads in the Emerald and finding on the next page a “ban” on cor sages. Ho! Hum! Well even congress men have their troubles and our subscription to athletic scholar ships, Greater Oregon association, etc., etc., are all paid for this year and by 1943 who knows but that Uncle Sam will take care of us all anyway. CHASE GARDENS, By ELMO B. CHASE ing and closing it rapidly in their faces. Eventually, he drowned. EMANUEL, VICTOR — Be lieved to have been Italian, but little is known of him.
