Campus Cop Rhinesmith Keeps Piggers in Line Moonlight and magnolias, war and no lights. They’re all contributing factors to the most widely engaged-in activity on the UO campus—piggin’. Pity the cop on the beat, who nightly patrols the campus-owned buildings, on the lookout for ro mantically-inclined couples strolling through forbidden terri tory and wandering through buildings in the still of the evenings. O. L. Rhinesmith, campus cop, is the lucky man who watches over the campus. Bashful, red headed Mr. Rhinesmith blushed becomingly when the piggin’ situ ation was brought up. “It’s a ticklish thing to talk about,” he said, “and just about all there is to say is that anyone found loitei’ing on University property*is subject to the author ity of the campus cop. To sit down for an evening of petting is strictly taboo,” Rhinesmith finished with an Irish red creep ing up the back of his neck, and hastened to change the subject. Rhinesmith has been on the campus for ten years as the po lice officer, but in all those years he has noticed no special de Brighter Side Given by Dean In response to recognition giv en Wednesday evening to Dean Eric W. Allen of the school of journalism on the start of his thirty-first year at Oregon, a “note of optimism” was sounded by the dean, who said that the spirit of the American people had greatly improved over the “twen ties” attitude. The young people of today, Dean Allen remarked, have a more realistic attitude and are vbetter informed than those of the first world war. His short address was given at a banquet spon sored by Sigma Delta Chi, na tional professional journalistic fraternity. At the banquet were profes sional members of Sigma Delta Chi, members of the journalism faculty and their wives, and members of Theta Sigma Phi, women's journalism honorary. Karl W. Onthank, dean of per sonnel administration, remi nisced at the banquet of activi ties of the charter members of #iie Oregon, Omicron, chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. Buck Buchwach, ’42 president, was presented with a document from the national of fices of the fraternity as being the outstanding Oregon graduate in journalism this year. crease in the a . . . “situation.” “Nope,” he said with a grin, “hu man nature hasn't changed a particle.” A large number of students on the campus now is one reason for an increase in his duties, and also the war, which has caused the dousing of all hut 5 outdoor lights on the campus, plunging the grounds into “ideal” dark ness. The cemetery is one place that chubby Mr. Rhinesmith doesn't patrol. If he sees anything wrong there, he will go up to investi gate, as any state officer is re quired to do, but other than that, he leaves tombstone tribulations for the city police. Till 11 every school night, he checks the build ings and patrols the two women’s dorms and the men’s dorm. That ugly shootin’ iron at his side is “only in case.” For eleven years Mr. Rhine smith was a high, school teacher in Washington and Oregon. Then the University and a bit more thrill was offered with the job of campus cop, and such he has re mained for a decade. Supervising all games, dances, and student activities is another job on his well-filled roster. Mr. Rhinesmith had nothing but good words for the fine co operation of University students, and nothing but contempt and pity for the high school “young sters” who cause him so much trouble. “If other people were more like the students here in the Univer sity, we'd have a better world all around,” our campus cop con •cluded, as he settled his mind clown to the duties of the evening. Graduate Assistant Wins Cowies Fellowship Joseph Austen Ranney, grad uate student in political science, has been awarded the Cowles fellowship in government at Yale university for next year. Mr. Ranney took his under graduate work at Northwestern university and has been graduate assistant in the speech depart ment this year. SAY "BOO" TO BAGGAGE BOTHER I **aw« EX MIC:: ' A ’ ...

Editor Speaks To Theta Sigs The employer's point of view was presented members of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s national journalism honorary, by Jack McDowell, managing editor of the Eugene Daily News, and his brother Clifford McDowell, busi ness manager of the News, at their annual spring job forum, last night. They revealed that “thank you” letters, received the morn ing after a job interview, create a favorable impression on the prospective employer as well as bringing the applicant’s name to his attention again. Letters of recommendation from previous employers are also an excellent attention device, in the opinion of the McDowell brothers. Two sample interviews were performed by members of Theta Sigma. Anna Mae Sullivan was interviewed by Clifford McDowell and demonstrated the right ap proach to the situation. Jack McDowell interviewed Ruby Jackson who committed’ all the glaring errors that are some times made by beginning job seekers. Mrs. Eric W. Allen, adviser to Theta Sigma, members of Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s national ad vertising honorary, and out standing girls in journalism, were guests for the evening.
