Busy Life For Ducks A balanced schedule of study, activities, and social life is what every Duck in the know tries to achieve, and hep students have no trouble finding dozens of interest ing projects to fill each term on the campus. Entertainment can always be found downtown although most Oregon students prefer to center their life around the campus. Eu gene is equipped with a year-round ice-skating rink, roller rink, four theaters, a playhouse, several bowl ing alleys, two night clubs for din ing and dancing, and many res taurants for those special occasion dinners or Sunday morning late breakfasts. On campus the millrace is al ways crowded on warm afternoons With canoeing coeds and men. For those indispensable afternoon cokes and between-classes bridge games, everyone congregates at the College Side Inn (to Ducks, just the “Side”), Taylor’s the Siberian, the Falcon, Doc’s, and Robinson’s. Popular Picnics All Oregonians are passionate about picnics, if attendance at these affairs is any indication. Weather permitting, everyone puts roasting weinies at the big fireplace at Hendricks park on their must list. Football and basketball games, as well as rallies, will play a bigger part in each Duck’s life this year. There’ll be the thrill of more dates • to college dances, and open houses at living organizations and Wes ley and Wesminister houses. Student plays, recitals and guest lecturers give Ducks a welcome di version from books. It is expected that again this year renowned artists will be presented in con cert in McArthur court through the Eugene Civic Music association. All Students Belong Previously such artists appeared under the Greater Artists Series, but now the University pays a lump sum for membership of the entire student body. Eugene residents will join the association this fall in a drive extending from Septem ber 17-22. After that membership will close. Over 1800 Eugeneans be longed last year. Eight artists appeared in Eugene last year under the program, and C. E. Gaylord, president of the as sociation, says that officials of the association will attempt to equal or surpass the balance, quantity and quality of the 1944-45 attrac tions, among whom were Rise Stevens and the Don Cossacks.

The Kappa Sigma house will be used by women students, and Alder lodge will house men. Frats for Dorms Dean Onthank says that ar rangements will be made to rent other fraternity houses for student dormitories if enough reservations are received. Two new sororities will be on the campus. The Zeta Tau Alphas have rented the Sigma Alpha Ep silon house, and the Delta Zetas have arranged for the Sigma Nu house. Dean Onthank does not believe any of the fraternity houses will reorganize this year, although it is possible that enough fraternity members from each house may en roll fall term to make re-opening possible. Students interested in finding rooms in private homes may take advantage of the city YWCA’s room registry service. A file of available rooms now is being kept in the Y’s office in the new Com munity Center. Some Eugeneans are willing to rent rooms to mar ried couples.
