- ... By STAN WEBER, Society Editor In spite of hell, high water, and the Dean of Women’s rul - ing that pre-dance drinking should be maintained at a sensible minimum, the Mortar Board dance came off with its usual amount of success last evening. Campus Cop Rhinesmith was not there, but otherwise the annual Vegetable Fling was no dif ferent than its predecessors of earlier days. uruy ny m the floor wax was that some Pi Phis, who were brought up on the theory that “lips that touch liquor shall not touch mine,” misinterpreted the Dean’s ruling. They thought that all dancers would be REQUIRED trjMrink at a sensible minimum, wWther they ordinarily would drink or not. Well, the Coalition deserves a little celebration, even at this late date. Wee Willie Wood, pride of the drama department, caused a mild sensation in Springfield Monday night when he announced to his compatriots in that fair city that he would present his impersona tion of Carmen Miranda at a local night club, known to Eugene cafe society as the Dutch Girl—be cause it has a windmill out front. But the dancing in the streets ceased abruptly Thursday after noon when Wee Willie’s promo tion manager let it be known that thy deal was off. He said Wee Willie refused to appear on the same floor as that occupied by a certain blonde hussy (the first in i^Wof her last name is Zorima). Also, Otis C., a veteran of the ring wars, who now makes his living by dispensing vari-flavored milk MORE WALKING and SHOE RATIONING REQUIRE THE ^UP-KEEP OF YOUR W SHOES!

Otis said he’d give free drinks ■—mikshakes—if Wood wood ap pear in his show. At latest reports Willie was heading north, to take part in the May Day celebration in Salem. * * * To get back to last night’s So cial Event, we noticed that a num ber of lucky lads spent their time during intermission munching on vegetable corsages. Bud Putnam was disappointed when his cor sage, which came by oxen train direct from Albany, turned out to be made of hops. “First time I’ve ever consumed dry hops,” he said. * * * Even politics played an impor tant part at the dance. It seems a leading light of the Greek bloc bounced against one of the Coali tion big shots during the playing of the “There Are Such Things.” A brief exchange of bitter words ensued, in the course of which the Greek warned his political foe, “Just wait ’til I get you alone.” The Coalitionist replied “I sure could use one.” And that stopped the argument. * * * Our spies at the Del Rey report ed that business at the little bean ery was brisk in the two hours preceding the dance. Shorty spec ials and Sautern were consumed at a rapid rate, and many campus celebrities were observed making their getaway via the rear exit. A certain Gerlinger hall character was seen making one coke last her until it was time to scram. She seemed tj be doodling on the table cloth, but later investigation revealed she was writing undis closed information in a note book.

Here’s Stuff About Art Camouflage ranks high in dis cussion groups at the art school these days as 14 students seek to vanquish their city from the eyes of roving enemy aviators. High on the second floor of the school the “Invisible City” exists in model form for the eyes of camoufleurs and camoufleurettes to ponder upon and render indiscernable to enemy observers from an altitude of ten thousand feet or more. The altitude is gained by climbing a step ladder put there for the spe cific purpose. Shadow angles are studied by turning on the sun pro vided by a 250 watt lamp. This preparatory course in cam ouflage is offered interested pros pective army personnel by the art school staff and a group of con sulting campus professors. The display is open to interested stud ents at any time at the architec ture school.

A magician has been found. That’s going to be a sur prise. The bearded lady will also be a surprise .... Ralston will probably take his pin back. Fred Beckwith was going to help out with the barking and stuff, but he had to work at the brewery. So those of you who hadn’t planned to come can just change your minds. Florence Hamilton is chairman of the deal and her henchmen are Barbara McClung, Patty Van Hoosear, Sally Spies, Gerd Han sen, (Dolph was mentioned once), Betty Chatburn, Benny Umph lette, Phyllis Evans, and Dorothy Rogers is publicity writer but since this is a man’s edition we had to throw her stuff out. Pee Wee Ross is president cf the or ganization sponsoring it, WAA or something like that. Incidentally, the money v/ill be used for an allegedly good cause, Joanne Dolph said. She oughta talk louder, though. Anyhow, if ya don’t have fun you’re a droop. I’m tired and I have to go home and get dressed for Mortar Board, so this is all; you’ll have to find out the rest by yourself.

The new cosmetic coated chicks will chuck out the cherubic mem bers that cavorted under the cov er of Kwama coating this year. Five ayem celebrations were expected to be in order this morn ing for the living organizations to which the newly tapped members belong. One sorority is said to have ordered a large shipment of malt, for what purposes we can not readily ascertain. Oh, to be a Kwama. But then we can al ways say, “I knew a Kwania once!” They Like the Hall But Miss the Gals By JACK L. BILLINGS Copy Boy It's the life of Riley for the boys at the new detachment headquarters of the army air corps on the campus. The old saying, “When the cat's away the rats will play,” is nothing but appropriate for the situation caused by Lt. Cable's recent trip to California, leaving the whole girls' dormitory to Staff Ser geant Page and Private Henley. Henry gets the cob on the deal, though. Pages makes him sit around and wait for fictitious phone calls while he gallivants around the campus with some twins from Highland house. The sergeant is a good looking guy with black wavy hair and a broad grin—he doesn’t smoke, drink, or anything else and claims that women are “my only weak ness.” The private is from Oklahoma and sounds it. He says he’s happy in the girls’ dorm but gripes at the lack of girls in it. Their com manding officer should be back in town early next week and the students should be coming in shortly thereafter, so their little vacation can’t last. But, in the meantime, the boys are making hay while the sun shines (Dear Censor—last sen tence is not reference to weather; merely an old saying like “Et tu, Brute” or “Have It Around the Infield.”) Enrollment at Catholic univer sity of America has reached 1875.
