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.

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.

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?

the campus this week is Betti

(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.
