The appointment of two freshman girls, Roseann Leckie and Marge Cowlin, to business manager positions on our two major campus publications, in former years the object of con centrated competition, causes by-standing, bull-sessioning jun iors and seniors who “remember when” to start slightly. Three years ago, or perhaps even last year, it would ha\ e been a singularly spectacular achievement. This spring it is praise worthy, not spectacular. Alums in the service may sigh and seniors remark with grave portent that freshmen “just don’t realize the responsibility . . . They haven’t been brought up in the tradition of old Emerald and Orcgana spirit. They lack the proper awe in approaching their jobs . . . Why I can remember when the editor’s office was a sanctum and I had to beg for a heat ... to he chairman of a committee meant ever-lasting glory.” Pause for a moment. Carrying on traditions or “starting a tradition” is notable. However, traditional college life in pre war in the prewar custom is gone, if not forever, at least foi our lives is natural, hut a deterrent. Now is the time to look two ahead. Being swept away along with the good are the bad aspects of the old system and way of living. Nostalgia and regret at losing what has been or would have been a pait of our lives is natural, hut a tererrent. Now is the time to look ahead and plan for the campus that is to he. The freshmen are capable and have worked and petitioned. They have done more toward keeping the backbone of Emerald and Orcgana tradition from crumbling than any bystander who regrets the passing of a 12-page newssheet and the “largest college yearbook in the world.” We wish them success.—B.A.S. Gamwuuiitif> Go*ice/i£l .. A proposed alliance, with Columbia community concerts under consideration by the educational acli\ities boaid is of general student interest because it affects conceit prospects foi next year. This alliance was first proposed three years ago by Horace Robinson. At that time, profits were more certain from inde pendent selection of artists and the board preferred to continue picking' and choosing its artists by itself. * * * * The financial picture for concerts next year allows about two or three big attractions under a budget of $2500. From now on, until the end of the war, such independent bookings show little signs of any profit showing. When the educational activities board meets this Thursday it must consider a motion to recommend a temporary setup with another board to be set up under the Community Concert plan with townspeople and University people combined. The communitv concert plan, as presented to the board, is organized in this way: an agent comes in and organizes a drive for tickets which sell to those outside the Uni\eisity at about six dollars. No further sales are made, and no reserve seats are available. University students are admitted as usual on their activities cards. The board, representing the students, enters one dollar per student in the University. Artists are selected by the board independently according to the amount of money raised within the community. * * * * From the information now available, it does appear as a safe bet for the student's money, and for their continued enjoy ment of tine artists. General opinion seems to be that the qual ity of artists would be as good or better than this years. Since the board is not committed to continue this alliance, the stu dents can't lose by voting for a financial setup of this kind. * ■i= * * If the board, after the investigations now being carried out. decides to recommend this plan—final approval will depend upon the administration. Other universities have found community concerts valuable | A Slip- &jf the Jdip !___ By BETTY SAILOR The entire student body, military and civilian alike, seems to be going in for athletics with enthusiasm. 'I he tennis couita are beginning to be popular spots, and golf seems to have its advantages, too. Just ask Bob Meyer and Elbert Grimsley who were so fascinated by the diversion that they played 36 holes oi golt with a reaheaa in wmte shorts the other day. Then there are the picnic fans like Sy Bern stein who was so intrigued by the the river he fell in. Big feature of the Mortar Board dance Saturday evening were those two glamor gals, Shelley Fisher and “Harry” Hopkins, who were escorted by Bob Pollard and Bob Meyer. That long red hair was really quite charming on Mr. Hop kins. Seems that there's something cooking between Dee Gee Rose mary Albers and Ralph Rathjen. Then there’s that new steady deal between Marilyn Pollard and Keith Murphy. Wonder what happened to Eleanor? What is the attraction that the map room in the-library has for Peter Charbonneau? Could be the maps, perhaps, but maps usually don’t wear blue sweaters. The stub bornest man in the air corps be yond a doubt is John “Tennessee” Adkison. Just ask Eileen Casey. We hear that there was an inter esting party at Fee Gee meadows last Saturday night. Among those present were Terry Carroll, Vir ginia Howard, Gayle Nelson, Clifl Mallicoat, Ann Walker, and Jerry Miller. Wedding bells rang last Satur day night for Pi Phi Maryanne Lynch and ATO Dick Ralston. We’ve really been seeing a lot of Theta Cynthia Woodcock with that handsome lieutenant from Camp Adair, Ned Tarrel. Then there’s always Tri-Del t Jean Frideger whose lieutenant from Camp White came up to see her this weekend. The original gossip columnist’s joy at this point seems to be Bill Larsen. This weekend the lucky gal was ChiO Jean Oveross. The situation is beginning to be inter esting. What’s this about Betty Childs being known as the “Sweet heart of Camp Adair?” Who is the mysterious “Raynor” that Pottie Householder has been pining away for lately ? Then there’s the sad case of Bill O - Bierne who is sighing for the at mosphere of dear old Brooklyn. Guess Oregon coeds just don’t possess the glamor of Brenda and Cobina, do they, Mr. O’Beirne? One of the happiest people on the campus this week is Betti Clips and Comment By MARGUERITE wittwer (Note: for lire benefit of all newcomers to the campus who would like to catch up on the doings of their old schools or alma maters, the Emerald editor’s office in the Journalism building has 1943-44 files of more than thirty-five college news papers representating almost every state in the nation. As long as the files are kept near and in correct order, the office will be open to anyone who wishes to lead the papers.) Scandal ? A polygamy cult was reportedly discovered at the University of Utah. Ten prominent faculty mem bers who created the sensational campus scandal, were supposedly arrested by student vigilantes and interned in a dungeon. The ASUC president filed charges on the pro fessors and a trial was scheduled. . . . However, any similarity of the above news item to any actual truth is purely coincidental be cause, of course, it is all a story manufactured by the Utah Chron icle’s fun-making news staff. But it had some people fooled for a while. College Cats Phi Delts at the University of Idaho have three new pledges with indubitable legacies. George, the campus grey cat extraordinary, gave birth to the kittens in the Phi Delt sleeping porch. Georgia, rechristened, works at the Ad building as a mouser and eats at different sororities and fratern ities. . . . Coeds at Laurel lodge here were surprised recently when a delegation of boys from NCC ar rived at the front door carrying a large box. Four kittens, born in the Northwest Christian college chapel, were presented to the girls with the NCC's compliments. The mama apparently belongs to no one. Man Shortage Now that dateless Saturdays are becoming as common as meatless Tuesdays, coeds at Louisiana State university are tackling the situa tion in earnest. Intersorority bridge tournaments are under way; many houses are having “scrappy dances” at which girls first paste scrapbooks of cartoons and other interesting reading ma terial for servicemen and then dance; and suggested for future reference is a play night in which all organizations will participate in entertainment and unite in doing Ked Cross work and making scrap books, gossiping, and dancing . . . Some wag also suggested that the chicks should procure one tall, handsome, 1-A prewar type of civilian specimen, place him in a glass cage with an explanatory sign, “This is a man. Remember?” Daffy Dates One over-zealous or perhaps just hungry marine at the University of Washington bet his barracks a dollar that he could get a date with a flying tackle. He did. She’s got a sprained ankle. . . . Two coeds up there didn’t get dates. One of them dressed up in a sailor uniform and they went to a cam pus dance anyway. They must have had a high old time because one gal has asked the other one for a date next week! ... A similar strange phenomena occured at the Mortar Board ball here. Two junior birdmen were escorted to the dance by two other air corpsmen. The "girls” were complete with wigs, dresses, kerchiefs, and hairy legs. Have fun, fellows ? and convenient, and in some cases very gratifying as regards the artists appearing on their stages. One example of this was in the town of Roseburg which heard Marian Anderson while Portland and Eugene looked on with envy. Altogether, from the students-eye-view, community concerts would be a good change during the war years.—MAI.G. Hodeeker who is anticipating a furlough from ATO Pete Miller. Eloise Mulhausen’s latest seems -to be a lieutenant from Camp Adair known only as “Book” at this point. Typical sights on a spring eve. . ing—Gamma Phi Virginia Wright and Fred Hessel out bicycling— Gail “Yutch” Myers heading for the Sacred Heart nurses’ home— Gordon Andreason trying to find someone who wants to go canoe ing. Flora Kibler is now the proud possessor of Tom Hazzard’s ATO badge. Something new was that Flor ence Hintzen-Bill Glikbarg com bination at the Mortar Board. Something old but still sizzling is that romance between Bonnee Dee Ewing and Wally Johnson that-#? taking on serious proportions. Latest engagement at Haw thorne lodge is that of Carol Cook to Barney Sibulsky. Then there’s that sparkling diamond that adorns the left hand of Pi Phi Rosalie Earel from Frank Cruzen of the coast guard. Reports have it that Johnny Weisel became quite a Casanova the other evening. We’re glad to see that ChiO Alla Loomis and Milton Sparks finally decided to make it a steady ar rangement. Looks as if the air corps is taking up most of Marjorie Young’s time lately but then there are always the marines. One of Ihe first things that Johnny liro^ der did on his recent furlough was to visit Theta Polly Chafe. Won der how long this has been go ing on? Deadline Pending (Continued from page two) a candidate with strong hacking suddenly comes forward. Each side is planning to nomin ate only one person for class rep resentative on the executive coun cil so that none of the candidates will be politically without a job after elections are over. Unless something unexpected comes up, elections for class officse_ will end up with all the Greek and all the ISA candidates getting an office. The only question is who will get the top one. Although there are four positions, the two blocs have announced that they will nominate only two candidates for each class. Creighton university students are now being fined for absences in university college and the school of journalism to the tune of one dollar per day.
