It’s maybe not the best time in the world—but fellas, that’s when you get out, remem ber? If you want to find out who goes where, turn to the front page, what we have to say about this evening open house hasn t much to do with that. Practically everyone has worked on this ‘deal.’ Soldier stu dents on the coordinating committee, and the executive com mittee had the final say. They figured tonight’s pocket edition dance was the best immediate chance for beautiful friendships. The best thing about it that it is fairly well developed and planned. Each group of men has a definite place to go, the girls expect them. Shades of the old Bunion Derby. The worst that can be said about it is that it was whipped up in practically no time at all. That’s nobody’s worry though now that the house schedule is figured out. Soldier representatives and civilian student officers seem to be finding out what the score is. The soldier’s time schedule is one inflexible thing, University customs and rules fall into the same line. But it appears the committees are getting the puzzle pieces into shape. —M.M. About Face... The Saturday open house was a flop and a success. The former allegation refers to the affair from the point of attendance by the fellows in whose honor the open house was given—the soldier students. They didn’t come. Now we know that they couldn’t come. The success side of the declaration treats of the girls. This is no attempt to become a kow-towing fairy godmother to man’s second-best friends, as those who venture further will discover. But “credit where credit is due” can be a truth as well as a prov erb. Not only did the girls come (be it known, of course, that they had to be there and didn’t have to go anywhere to get there), but they showed an attitude entirely different from that of previous years. The girls showed a sincere desire that the open house be a success. They tried their utmost to make it one. And they were disappointed when that success did not materialize. Here was their chance to prove untrue some, not too com plimentary statements that had been hurled against them. That they succeeded in part is evidenced by the statements of the men who attended the affair. For the first time the girls really wanted those aching ten dons on the back of heels that have stood the strain of two hours continuous dancing; wanted to ask the same inane “and where did YOU come from” questions that form the advance recon aissance of get-acquainted strategy ; wanted the imprints on toes of other toes that in no way resemble those of F. Astaire. Saturday there were three Theta members, not pledges, standing on their lawn begging for a man to come in and join the hen party; wondering if they should go down to the Side to ask a few. That is revolution. Thetas are not like that. The Kappas had their best candidates for dentistry awards stationed at the green screen door, waiting anxiously for the many males who did not come. The Alpha Chis had an attend ant in uniform, if skirt and sweater may be considered a uni form, peering through the “speakeasy slot” in their front door to give advance warning of a man’s approach. The DCs had only one table of bridge in the front room of Mt. Vernon, and enough glamor in the front hall to attract the man in the moon on his day off. The perennially vivacious Pi Phis again dispelled the contentions of sister organizations that men do not like to be cut in on. And so it went, all down the line. Space alone forbids men tion of all the plcase-’em schemes devised bv the co-ops, sorori ties, and dorms'alike. The girls really "showed. If such a sincere attitude toward making the student sol diers feel at home is continued on the part of Oregon’s feminine “element” those boys and the entire University will have a very successful and enjoyable year to look back on. —C.P. A Frosh Speaks By EVA HEDRICK Freshman Every night the same old thing: We poor miserable waifs, are shoved bodily up the back stairs to our rooms when the dates ar rive. WHY can’t we see what a man looks like ? How do they ex pect up to act when we get out in life and have to confront these strange creatures of the oppo site gender. I can see it now, we will be going up to “them” and saying: “You man?—me wom an!”—How about that? Frenzy Is a State Now that I have gotten myself worked up to this state of frenzy I shall devlve into another morbid morsel— Eery waking hour when we are unlucky enough not to have a safe class to seek sanctuary in, we are but gently heaved into a vault known as the study room at the libe (we freshmen are still unsophisticated^ calling it the “library.”) A few are lucky enoughr to sit by a window and are able to breathe with comparative ease. I always seem to be happily req uisitioned to a dank musty cor ner. Never daunted, I am work ing on an idea whereby I will be able to breathe through an ex pandable reed. I Laugh No More I laughed when they told me to practice a "Cinder Annie” act with a mop and pail, but now the laugh is on the other foot. How laughs get on feet, we will never know. My mop and I are constantly disagreeing because when I want to go one way, it wants to go somewhere else. I have to watch it when the argument becomes too bitter (as arguments with mops often do) or I usually get a sound belt on the shins from its more indignant extremity. I have been sounding off, but bravely, so maybe I had better crawl back in my little hole and think this out.—I’ll take my cracker with cheese this time, please. A Blip. oj the JUty By PEG HEITSCHMIDT and BOBBI BEALER Open House was loads of fun, huh? That’s the kind of pep we like to see, fellas!—too bad so many of the gals were away at home last week-end*-but that problem can be solved with an encore. How about that Pi Phi picnic last weekend? All the happy hikers returned with that horrible plague better known as poison oak. Delta Gamma divulged Mar guerite Losli’s engagement to a Chicago man this week. And Phi Delt Rog Wiley has been down two weekends in a row to date Mary Ellsworth before he departs for Victory. With him has come “Dutch” Simmons of the same house. Then there’s the one about the two Betas—Jack Warrens and George Blake—who visit Deegee Ginny Howard quite frequently. News of visitors and who is doing what is always intriguing, especially to the feminine read er. Bob Ferris, Phi Delt, has a smooth job with Pan-American airways in Portland now, we hear. Bob Tramp, Sigma Chi, and now with the army air corps, is visiting our fair grounds for a week, and he really looks tops. Wally Borrevik, also Sigma Chi, drifted into the Side the other eve looking chipper as ever. Smooth Mechanics Seen with Tri-Delt Pat Bow ers on various and sundry occa sions is Bob Rath, a smoothie from the engineers. From various sources, we dis cover that Art Hosfeldt, Sigma Chi, is expected down this week end, all of which gladdens the heart of Theta Teddy Nicolai considerably.

All students except freshman women, who were banned because of rulings by their living organizations, are al lowed to work at the location. * * * “The average college girl wastes thirty-one hours each week,” according to Mrs. Lottie Kirby, associate dean of women at Indiana university. A panel discussion of personal adjustment was held and several coeds offered suggestions for utilizing pre cious time by making out a strict work-and-play schedule and fol lowing it daily.—Indiana Daily Student. * * • Last week’s exchange con tained a note concerning a wom an being sent to college by her son. Santa Ana Junior college has two mother and daughter teams who are entering college this fall. One mother with two daughters for classmates is ma joring in psychology and history; the other mother and daughter team is a music and English ma jor.-El Don, SAJC. * * * “It shall be unlawful for any person to locate or maintain a cemetery or burial ground for any purpose of burying any hu man body, or the burying of any human body, within three-quar ters of a mile of the University. Each person shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor for each and every offense.”—This is a direct quote from the University of Minnesota Book of Rules. * * * A free photo lab will be open for servicemen exclusively on the University of Minnesota campus. Provided reservations are made in advance. The men may devel op their snapshots four days a week. * * * Students at Minnesota may borrow records from a lending li brary stocked with a complete selection of classical and popular pieces. Six records are . the limit to one person at one time. Fee statements must be pre sented and there is a five-day limit on all records. A fine of five cents per day is charged when records are kept overtime. If the record is damaged com pletely the student must pay the complete cost. Both students and service men are invited to take advantage of the facilities of the library.—Minnesota Daily, U. of M., October 7. cua Thrilling! Exciting! 'Destroyer' Edward G.

Among old Oregon students noted at Saturday’s naval dance at Willamette U. were Montez Moreland, last year’s Hendricks hall glamour girl, and old steady Jack Hannam, Sig Ep, and now a naval V-12-er. Call ’Em Nuptials Mary Jane Terry, Pi Phi, has announced her engagement to Bill Rodman, a Eugene real es tate man, and Oregon grad. Nice set up! Also engaged is Harry Miller, last year’s Sig Ep prexy, to a li’l red-headed gal from Kan sas City university. And some real news for those who are going to Portland the 23rd is the mar riage on that day of Jean Dan iels, Theta, to Sigma Chi Bob Curtis. Once again, ye olde PeMian Room was alive with mirtMp^ d song, as various couples cavort ed and danced. Among those pres ent were DU Breen Murphy and AXO Barbara Carter—also Bob, Sigma Chi, Smith, and Ellie, KKG, Jacobs. r NCW under-arm Cream Deodorant safely Stops Perspiration 1.
