Orchids are purple,
Petunias are pink;

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.

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. Flowers are

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.

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. Probably
of no importance.
HITLER, ADOLPH — German
painter of the 20th century. At
one time submitted plans for de
signing Europe, but they were
not accepted. Pacifist so long as
he got what he wished.
MUSSOLINI, BENITO—Early
ruler of Italy. Designed a fence
to sit on and sat on it.
SCHUSNIGG, KURT VON —
Orator: “Give me liberty or give
me death.’’ He died.
STALIN, JOSEPH — Operated
on the theory of “Everything I
have is yours, comrade, but—
(censored)—leave it alone!”
WINDSOR, EDWARD —Play
wright of the 20th century. Most
famous work: “Love Conquers
All—Maybe.”
—Barometer.
Three members of the original
freshman class of Queens college
that was graduated in June have
returned to the campus as mem
bers of the faculty.
