Go-meth the Rain . . . ^^NCK upon a time there was, in the great northwest terri tory of a large and wealthy nation, a fine, old university. Many students attended this institute of learning . . . some traveled long distances to hear the pearls of wisdom and philosophy which dropped from the lips of the professors there. Some traveled even from the great southern part of the country. When the students arrived at the university to begin a new year, the sun beamed down upon their eager counten ances . . . clouds did not mar the beauty of the scene. For many weeks the students scampered gaily to their classes amid warmth and under fair skies. * * rjpiIF,N, one day, a cloud rolled threateningly across the blue above. And then, the next day, another . . . and another . . . and another . . . until finally, the whole sky was dark and gray and grim. The students who attended the universitv from other parts of the great northwest simply bundled themselves into warmer clothes and went on about their business . . . but . . . The students who had traveled from the far southland knew not what to do. They had not warm clothes nor water proofs . . . they had not goloshes nor umbrellas . . . many of them knew not at all of these implements. They were amazed at the strange phenomenae . . . they scampered hither and they scampered thither conversing to on another in hushed tones . . . they were dire afraid. * * * r I '11K students who came from other parts of the great north west spoke to them and they said, “Be not afraid,” . . . but the students who came from the far southland were afraid and they knew not what to do. The students who came from other parts of the great northwest said, "It will soon be over,” ... so the students who came from the far southland decided to quell their tears, decided to wear their clothes made for the climate of the far Southland . . . decided tu be brave and wait. And the students who came from the far southland did wait . . . and wait . . . and wait . . . and they still waiteth . . . * * * (Kd's note: Due to overcrowded conditions, only pneumo nia cases of the most serious condition will be accepted in jthe infirmary in the future.)

Dr. Miriam Van Waters “Her attainments have outstripped those of most men.” This praise concerning Dr. Miriam Van Waters, ’08, carried double force since it came from a man, Dr. Henry Ton Eyck Perry, University of Buffalo professor. He states that Dr. Van Waters is one of the most hon ored scholars in criminology in the United States and her AdliL Pocketful of Notes By JOHN J. MATHEWS First note concerns that George Carey band. Hal Hardin, bassist supreme, has been signed to play permanent-like with the boys, and, take our word for it, will disappoint no one. Hal’s sex tet of last year was one of the neatest and highest-paid aggre gations in these parts. Happy Hal himself performed notably on vibes and trumpet and did ar rangements as well as book, lead, and orchestrate for the combo. Yes, he played bass mostly. Add retractions: The Eddie Johnson sextet’s session for the Phi Delta Theta crew and dates of last eve was not, as reported here earlier, their first job on the campus. My secretary, har rumph, tells me that the Phi Sigs have spent $13.85 since my Tuesday colm appeared, trying to inform me that the Johnson boys’ FIRST job was with THEM. Come to think of it, it was. Next note concerns that self same Phi Delt performance by Ed and his squad. Every man to his own taste, but for this kid’s chips that was a Class A show, leaving not much to be desired. The best angle is that talent— not arrangements or money or appearance—put the affair over. Fourth note for this morn fol lows up our story of the other day that Spider Dickson was planning to unveil a quartet in the near future. Thursday night Ray confided that three of the boys are already set. While wav ing his tentacles for that fourth man, Old Available is gloating quietly over having signed A1 Kasmeyer of the immortal brass backfield of Kasmeyer, Fortmil ler, and Nelson. Drumming will be by a knocked-out joe with whom I bent an elbow at Seaside this summer. The name is Kurt Leitner and the talent is un known. 88 work is slated for Wayne Strohecker, whom I've never heard. * * ss Final note for the morning is a impressive record of offices in social commissions and associa tions bear out his statement. More Education After graduating Dr. Van Wa ters took graduate work here and was awarded a master’s degree in 1910. Her pursuit of more in tense education was not yet slackened. Transferring to Clark university she had earned her Ph.D. early in 1913. From that date on Dr. Van Wa ters began to accumulate a mas sive number of positions and honors. Now superintendent of the State Reformatory for Wom en in Framingham, Mass., she was particularly outstanding dur ing her time as referee of the Los Angeles county juvenile court. A position which she held for ten years. Writes Books Authorship is also one of this Oregon graduate’s accomplish ments. Her first book, “Youth in Conflict,” proved popular enough to be followed by a second vol ume, “Parent on Probation.” At one time Dr. Van Waters worked on the national commit tee on law observance and en forcement. She has been presi dent of the American League for the Abolishment of the Death Penalty; member of the board of directors of the National Travel ers’ Aid association; president of the National Confederation of Social Work; and secretary of the American Youth commission —to mention only a few of her offices. Taught, Too Crammed into this list of ac tivities was a period of teaching at Columbia university. This add ed to her membership in Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic hon orary, have earned her the repu tation of being one of the na tion’s outstanding social work ers. Dr. Van Waters now is living in Massachusetts. She has an adopted daughter, Sarah Ann. scribble about the future. Talk talk has been percolating that Thanksgiving afternoon may bring together men from all the campus bands who like to hear and play the unwritten note. This sound's like a good deal to me. I'd really love to be present at a Blown-in-the-bottle all - campus jam session. We have the boys here this year who can make the deal a success. lilliilllliilii 'inniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiinHiiiiiiiniii scene at Raftdo**! | By BERN1ECE DAVIDSON Women Engineers The fact that women are gain ing a foothold in all fields of business and industry is becom ing more apparent every day. For instance subsidized engineering training is offered to coeds at the University of Indiana who have completed one year of mathematics. — Indiana Daily Student. Campus Camouflage The laboratory project of stu dents enrolled in a new two-hour defense course at the University of Kansas is to camouflage the campus. Each student is given a pic ture of the campus taken from the air. From this he will plan his form of camouflage to fool the enemy bombadier. —University Daily Kansan. Chest Drive A campaign to fill the S. C. community chest moved into the campus limelight at the Univer sity of Southern California. The goal set for ’42 is $1,000. —Daily Trojan. Strictly OSC There is no longer any chance to crash a school dance at Ore gon State. The campus social chairmen and house presidents decided to make school dances all-student body affairs. In or der to eliminate outsiders all those attending the dances must show their student body cards. —Oregon Sate Barometer. Between *> The Lines By ROY NELSON JACK BENNY GAVE his Max well up, which is more than we can say for Fred “King' Klam’’ Kuhl, It’s more than we can say for the clam-digger, because he has no Maxwell to give up. But he’d like to have a Maxwell to give up, but he wouldn’t give it up if he had it to give up, but he doesn’t have it to give up, so how could he give it up? Don’t bother to«answer. Don’t bother to answer, because there%/ only one of us reading this col umn. And that one is me. And I can’t stand to hjear me talk. Another Maxwell The Maxwell offtvhich we sing is considerably more beautiful than Benny’s Maxwell. Pi Beta Phi pledged her laSt year. Joan probably >, doesn’t even know a Fred Kuhl texists, but the Klam keeps hoping—hoping that some day she’ll cai3| him up and ask him for a da^e. It’s one of those secret love affairs, so we won’t say anything. Instead we turn to cobwebs. Cobweb Problem We’ve wondered which reserve will last the longest' we’ve won dered what causes the millrace to be dry one weel$ and wet the next, but these problems bother us little compared |o the cobwe^ phenomenon. We are on our Jway to an 8 o'clock, bump into 4 cobweb, and are tardy for cladjg. We notice girls wearing snood? to class only to find later that t|ey contacted cobwebs. It’s those Cobwebs float ing promiscuously fpn 'the wide open field near the Campbell and Fiji houses that really cause be wilderment. They’re Everywhere Ted Goodwin says he’s no ticed it. At first He thought it was a complex, so: went on an exclusive carrot diej, but it did n’t do any good. "Bitter Bob’’ Parsons was askef if he was aware of the element. “Yeah— they get all over rrjy books, and everything.” Maybe it’s part of the war pro gram. Maybe the phygfcs depart^ ment can explain it; i doubt it. Dang that mid-term. Weaving right through the cobwebs are the University track and field classes. One little spurt takes them around the grave yard. Some of the bays are so an xious to get back to the coach for another assignment that they cut through the cemetery. So the coach stations Warren Taylor thereabouts. Now, when the boys take a detour, “Tiny” Taylor pops up from behind a tombstone and suggests that they go around. Impractical Joke The Emerald got a call from Henhall’s Serena Piatt asking- for an item to published .She said somebody accidentally switched coats on her, and the one she^ got was inferior to the original* She said hers was much heavier and of better material. As proof, she reported that it wasn’t her label. A reliable source tells us that it is her coat, and that it was the labels, not the coats, that were switched, as a practical joke. Double Trouble Another woman from the same house had a blind date with Pi Kap Dick Schwan. A coke date was to precede a Whiskerino en gagement. There was another fel low sitting in the parlor when Inez Potwin came down the stairs. By mistake, she introduced herself to the wrong man, and the latter, not being an amateur, (Please turn to page three) t
