This is the lirst column to appear on the front page of the Em erald. It'll probably be the last, too.

Celsi Interview ^ The Gestapo influence again I raised its Simon Legr.ee whip Friday and cracked down with outmoded conventions when the muscle-bound Order of the “O,” headed by Kenny Oliphant, traditions chairman, is sued its Nero orders for enforce ment of Junior Weekend tradi tions. The “whip" of traditions would be felt by all, Oliphant promised, and especially by weak backed frosh who are, quote, “per fect saps for this stuff.” Monday morning the NazifiecI “New Order of the O” men will begin their campus patrol, put ting the bee on their unsuspect ing “offenders.” And in front of Fenton hall .Monday noon the crushing paddles of the “New Or der” men will fall on the back sides of the “perfect saps.” Traditions dusted off by Oli phant are as follows: 1. No walking on the grass. 2. Say hello on “hello walk.” 3. Freshman giris must wear green ribbons in their hair. 4. Freshman men must wear tin pants and rooter’s lids. (Note frosh emphasis). 5. No smoking on old campus, just like Ore gon State. 6. Freshman men must scrub the University seal. During the campus luncheon three additional traditions will be in order: men may not wear ties or white shoes and must not speak to a woman. The “New Or ROTCers der” men did not deny that their own inability in the last line might have some influence in their enforcement. Clint Paine, taking over the 2 duties of Junior Prom chair man while Les Anderson is in Sun Valley where nu merous screen beauties hang out, put the highball sign on the annual junior hop when he announced Friday that tickets for the Prom will go on sale next Monday. Sold this year mainly through men’s living organizations, inde pendents must trek to the educa tional activities office to get theirs for none will be sold at the Co-op or in booths. “We pay a (Please turn to page eight) Quigley Makes Up As if women don’t cause enough trouble and take up 3 enough time plastering their own physiognomy with make-up, they are now venturing into the field of ap plying the same goo to others. The problem of making .- up other people will be the chief concern of chubby little Margorie Quigley, junior in English, who spends most of her spare hours nowadays not knitting sweaters for the Red Cross, but making beards for the character roles in “Of Thee I Sing.” As director of make-up for the production she will have approximately 150 people to beautify before the play Satur day night. She’s lucky at that, though, because the make ups don’t have to be exact. They are supposed to look sort of queer to keep in with the idea of the play. The job that will take the most time will be applying liquid sun-tan oil to the bodies of the chorus girls. It will take approximately one-half pint of the stuff for each girl, and no wonder, what with the weather what it has been this spring. Incidentally, Miss Quigley dinged the idea of accepting applications for assistants to help her with her duties. The toughest make-ups will be those of the foreign am bassadors, what with their sultry complexi8ns and long . beards. It probably looked pretty funny when the class of make-up artists, mostly women, started making those beards. The proper technique for making beards, it seems, is to cre ate them on someone else’s face. They probably looked cute in their little goatees. Miss Quigley, however, rfuses to model her work in public. THE LISTENERS . . . . . . hear from Lt. Col. William A. Matlieny in Thursday’s assembly the new developments in air force cadet-reserve enlistment. _ - Photo by Don Jones Face New Set-up Enlisted Reserve Calls To Advanced Military Ed. note: Because of the number of times in the past few months the military department has been thoroughly griped at the way the Emerald has run its stories, we decided to deviate from our “inter pretive” trend and stick to the facts. Besides, it’s more patriotic this way. Instructions received from the War department on Thursday re quire enlistment in the Enlisted Reserve corps of the army as a pre requisite for enrollment in the advanced course. Students who have not reached their eighteenth birthday will not be enlisted but may oe enroilea in tne advance course by signing- an agreement to do so upon reaching the age of 18. The new provision will apply only to students who have been ' selected for advanced training but j who have not yet signed a con tract. Advanced students already under contract will be encouraged to join the Enlisted Reserve Corps. The physical examination of selected applicants for advanced R.O.T.C. training has been sus pended until further notice, it was announced Friday by Col. Charles L. Sampson, head of the University R.O.T.C. department. Students so enlisting, who for any reason are separated from college prior to the completion of their R.O.T.C. training or who fail to graduate from the R.O.T.C. with the class with which they would normally graduate, will at that time be subject to call to ac tive duty, if within the age limits for selection under Selected Serv ice Training Act, provided they have no valid reason for defer ment. The commissioning of students will be in accordance with ex isting instructions.

Graduates of the class of 1943 and thereafter, upon com pleting- R.O.T.C. training, will be >rdered to an army service school or three months' instruction, (i'lease turn to page three) what he thinks it is. So far, in April we joined eight anti-Miller clubs. In fact, rumor has it that there will be a three-hour sem inar course offering lynching, tar-and-feathering and keel-haul ing. It is sponsored by the Druids, IFC, Panhellenic, Phi Thetas, In terdorm council and Mortar Board for the best interests of Oregon in its life, liberty and pursuit of Miller. BY THE DORM’S EARLY LIGHT it seems as if many a so rority has every g-ood reason to he envious, with a capital "E,” c.i the Hendricks and Susan Camp bell girls. They're going places. The S-C girls should have won first place with their rendition of “Moonglow” at the alKcampup sing; they did in the minds o'j! nearly everyone except the judg es. Then, Hendricks is going- all out for Robinson’s production of OTIS which will boost them still higher. Just wait until you glint on the dancing and beauty cho rus! MUTTERINGS AT MID NIGHT: At the Theta jig last night, one member was telling u visitor, ‘‘You can lead a frater nity man to water, but why dis appoint him?" . . . Then, acros.il the street to the Phi Delt dance, one blonde asked, “What are you taking for your cold?” The Phi Delt smoothie answered, “Make me an offer!" . . . And then at, the Side, the late-shift waitress! told us that the “reason why the coffee tastes like mud is that if, was only ground this morning.” . . . Then, at the mill-race-lesM Betas wo heard one cf the beat quips of the year, to wit: “Hell? Yes!” said the devil as he an swered the telephone. . . . And (Please turn to page six) Bird Haven Buzzes “The swallows have returned to McArthur court and spring can't be far behind,’’ is the welcome prediction ci' Bill Kirtley, majordomo of the Igloo. This year’s arrival of the birds is of particular signifi cance because they have inspired a movement to obtain font the campus and Eugene a place in the country’s war program. These particular winged visitors have for the past fivo years displayed a. sense of discrimination and wisdom o'<? conduct that is not evidenced by some of the more famous* groups of their kind. They don’t arrive at a set. time as it* motivated by unthinking instinct or habit, but await the dc parture of the most severe weather, no matter when it comes, before they show up. Instead of choosing some place where they would be ex posed to vagrant spring downpour which even they could noi} foresee, they select a location where they can fly about in comfort no matter what the weather. All this adds up to the conclusion that they are well qualified to establish a settlement location for their fellow swallows, and from that deduction has evolved the fol lowing plan: An evacuation center for the swallows of Capistrano in the project now under consideration. It is very likely, they say, that the aforementioned swallows will have difficulty in establishing their nationality, and therefore must be re moved from the critical coastal areas. Kirtley serves as a character witness for the Igloo’n tenants, saying they are tame, friendly little creatures, ancl that they keep the huge building fairly well cleared of flics* and wasps. However, “They have some other habits whicl* I find hard to condone,’’ he added.
