Meat Rationing or Not,
Tt s Still Dog Days ’at UO
By MARY McCLINTIC
Threat of meat rationing has in no way troubled the cam
put canines for they still dwell happily with their brothers, the
University wolves. In the latest census among the men’s
houses the pups numbered around sixteen, some new, some
old-timers well known by all.
Smokie, the big brown police dog, still resides at the Phi
JJelt house; hut this year he
shares his domain with a new
cocker pup. The Delt Upsilon
boys also have a cocker, black
edition, which goes by the name
of Stubby.
Baron, a Great Dane, is the
pride and joy of Delta Tau Delta,
-'■'so revered by this house is
t.feir Chow, Queenie (not of
strip polka fame), who not only
closes doors but dances and goes
to school as well.
Service Dogs
The Sigma Chis have a Do
berman pineher who comes when
you call "Fritz,” that is, at din
ner time. He was given to them
by a sailor who wanted to keep
the home fires burning. A simi
lar gift was the ATO’s great
Dane, Jerry (feminine), who was
given to them by an army offi
cer.
' Another cocker spaniel on the
campus is Kelly, the two-week
old newcomer at the Chi Psi
lodge. He’s not in too good a
humor now, for he has just had
his tail cut, but motherly Ted
Perry is nursing him back to
happiness.
Pious Collie
The SAEs are still recovering
from Husky, their St. Bernard
pup of two years ago, who out
grew his dinner rations as well
as his master’s.
The Beta Theta Pis have a pi
ous collie, Mike, who says his
prayers. Erskine is the black
spaniel of the Sigma Nus. The
Sigma Alpha Mus say they don’t
have any canine mascots but that
their 14 pledges serve the pur
pose.
Menagerie Large
The Sig Eps don’t know the
number of their menagerie. Pick
les and Butch seem to be their
regular pets, but they’re never
surprised to see another dog or
two around the house.
The Theta Chis have two dogs.
’ ke they describe as being sort
ti, a shepherd with several other
untraceable breeds in him. The
other canine member, Roughcut,
is a chow-collie mixture, eight
weeks old.
Buck Jones Honored
The Phi Sigma Kappas are
quartering a Belgium shepherd
pup named Lupy and a springer
spaniel named Rufus. The Fiji’s
Irish setter is named “Buck” . . .
in. affectionate tribute to their
house president, Buck Jones. The
Campbell clubbers have Wolf, a
police dog. The Phi Psi’s new
pooch, an Irish setter named
Scarlet, has not yet arrived.

That about completes the list
of dogs on the campus this year.
Each one is the prettiest and
smartest ‘according to the various
houses, and all of them have a
beautiful bark. None of the hous
es seem to have given much
thought to the purposed meat ra
tioning, but if it does come the
boys will probably give up their
steaks to the hounds and dine on
dog biscuits.
Army May Draft
UO Art School
Camouflage may become a part
of the University curriculum in
the near future if a proposed plan
formulated by army, navy, and
civilian officials in a recent meet
ing in Seattle is put into prac
tice.
According to the Oregon Daily
Journal of October* 3, the offi
cials considered establishment of
camouflage schools at the Uni
versity of Oregon and the Uni
versity of Washington as a fea
ture of a program including the
whole northwest sector.
Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the
school of architecture and allied
arts pointed out that the subject
would come under that school be
cause it teaches all the courses
•—architecture, design, painting,
and sculpture—which form the
basis for the tricks of deceiving
enemy airmen.
As proof of the fact that the
field was a natural for the art
school, Dean i Lawrence offered
the information that Major Wal
ter Church, a graduate of the de
partment, is now in charge of
camouflage for the army engi
neers.

Liberty Belle
The best idea to come to the
campus so far will be the brain
child of Carolyn Holmes in the
form of a Liberty Bell. The prop
osition is really sensational in its
perfection; it helps the school,
you, and defense. It success
should be tremendous. Watch for
the introduction of the Liberty
Beil in the headlines.

WAAC THIRD OFFICER HENRIETTE HORAK . . .
. . . Czechoslovakian girl who came to the United States when e.Kto
was 15, worked her way through the University and is now helping
the war effort of her chosen homeland.
Czech-born UO Alumna
Anxious to Get At Hitler
Third Officer Henriette Horak of the WAAC was onre a
typical Oregon student with a lot of activities to keep her
busy as well as a job that provided the means of her educa
tion.
But Officer Horak is not a typical American girl. She’s
had a very untypical life, in fact, for it was only 15 years
ago when she came to this coon
try from Czechoslovakia where
her father, an officer in the Czech
legion that fought as a part of the
Russia,n army in the first world
war, died as a result of injuries
suffered in the war. Her mother
also died during the war.
Outstanding Journalist
Miss Horak came to this coun
try when she was 15 and was
adopted, but her brother and
sister were left in Europe and she
is not certain of what happened
to them.
A major in journalism, the
women's army auxiliary corps of
ficer was an Emerald staff mem
ber for all of her four years, and
was the first girl to have her
name engraved on the Turnball
Hali plaque, an honor given to
the outstanding senior in jour
nalism each year.
Orides President
She was president of Orides,
independent women’s organiza
tion, when the group had just
been organized one year. Mem
bers of the faculty remember
her as an extremely active stu
dent with an abundance of en
ergy and ability.
She earned her way through
the University by writing for the
Oregonian and was assistant pub
licity director for the University.
After graduating in 1036 Of
ficer Horak went to work on the
San Francisco Chronicle, and also
edited the Slav-American News
in San Francisco for a year.
During the San Francisco
world fair she was employed as a
member of the publicity staff and
afterwards went to work for the
California Prune Growers as ad
vertising manager, supervising a
staff of 13 merchandising men.
The third officer speaks Czech,
Slovak, Polish, Russian and some
French and German.
She considers her position in
the WAAC as an opportunity to
retaliate for the conditions that
killed her parents and left her '
and her brother and sister to
spend most of their time search
ing for enough food to keep
alive.
She is now anxious to get back
to Europe and help right some
of Hitler’s wrongs. Officer Horak
was one of the 52 officers chosen
to be sent from the post at Fdrt
Des Moines to do recruiting writ.
Homecoming Pfons
A big drop in attendance and?
considerable change in the pro
gram of this year's Homecoming
-js expected by the alumni office,
according to Elmer C. Fansott,
secretary-treasurer of the V:Di
versity alumni association. Not
yet in full swing, plans will bo
formed to coincide with the war
time transportation schedules
and the alternate year in the
game with Oregon State.
