Published daily during the college year except Sundays, Mondays, and holidays and
final exam periods by the Associated Students, University of Oregon.
Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Oregon.

Many of the students at Oregon have been taking for grant
ed the fact that often during the school year internationally
known concert artistg make their appearance at McArthur
'court under the auspices of the University concert series. Spon
sored by the Eugene civic music association, this series pre
sents to Webfeet, with no admission charge other than the pre
sentation of an ASUO card, performances by artists such as
the Don Cossacks, Raoul Jobin and Rise Stevens. For those not
enrolled in the University there is a charge for the concerts,
which are faithfully attended by the Eugene townspeople.
This year the Concert Series will continue with a promise
■of even greater entertainment—for those who will take advan
tage of it. World-famous artists scheduled to appear at the Ig
loo will include John Charles Thomas, Markova and Dolin, Ar
turo Rubenstein and Patrice Munsel. Reserved for students at
these performances are the most opportune seats in the Igloo—
all this and gratis, too. Members of the ASUO should not re
quire urging to attend the University Concert Series.

For three issues the Emerald has been limping along in a
haphazard fashion under a staff composed of last year’s old
faithfuls and this year's freshmen volunteers. Tonight we will
get down to the business of organizing a full staff or reporters,
copy readers, night staff workers and advertising assistants.
Although the shift from a four-page to an eight page Em
erald presents a number of problems, the extra space also gives
a much greater opportunity for students interested in journal
ism and campus activities. 'There are openings for reporters,
copy readers, night staff workers, advertising assistants, and
even for editorial positions.
We believe we have made the shift at the right time. The war
is over. Enrollment has grown and will increase much more.
And students activity will increase correspondingly.
However, our staff is inexperienced in working day-by-day
on an eight-page paper. Thcv are confronted with the problem
of turning out twice the volume of work in all departments.
With plenty of help, the Emerald staff can do it.
Hut we wanj more than willing, responsible workers. Hereto
fore the Emerald has had ap atmosphere all its own. Working
on the paper and being a shackrat has been a lot of work but
also a lot of fun. Without enough workers, it becomes a te
dious business for the few who stick by to see that the campus
has news and entertainment.
If the new staff has the enthusiasm of former shackrats, the
Emerald soon will see a revival of its beloved 3 o'clock club,
Eriday afternoon parties, winter term luncheon, and spring
term picnic and banquet. There will be new characters to take
the places of such "old gang" notables as Roy Raul Nelson,
Chuck l’olitz, Shuberl Ecndrick and Jack Hillings.
The Emerald's reconversion, unlike some of the others, pre
sents no problem of unemployment. That new class in how-to
be-a-shackrat starts tonight at 7 :30 at the journalism building.

Quirinins Breen, so,ft-spoketi associate professor of social
science and history, has taken on a new University duty—house
father for a girls’ dormitory.
Dr. Breen was hit by the housing shortage in Kitgene before
it ever {jot around to the students. He solved his family prob
lem by renting the old Delta Upsilon house on Thirteenth
street near Alder. But he had room to spare in the former fra
ternity house w ith only an average-sized family to shack up.
Caine the rush of students, and Dr. Breen was approached.
Xow the family lives in the main floor while girl students room
upstairs. And Dr. Breen has a new source of material for his
lectures in social science survey.

An early August issue of the
Stanford Daily advised students
"What to Do When Victory
Comes” as follows:
"All classes . . . will be dis
missed for the remainder of the
day and students and faculty will
assemble in front of the Mem
orial Church for songs and yells.”
—Oh Goody!
A flustered University of Cali
fornia coed began a letter to the
daily Californian thusly: “Can’t
something be done about those
people who seem to love wars?”
Yes, something should.
B. F. Thompson, painter from
Everett, Washington hasn't been
able to rent his house despite his
offer to paint and paper it free.
He said several persons answered
but backed down when they
learned he had two children.
-—Things are tough all over.
Clarification of the distribu
tion of holidays is made by Dr.
M. Phoreski of U.C.L.A.; “You
take one holiday for the entire
U.S. and possessions, like Labor
Day, that’s about one-fifty
fourth of a holiday per political
division, or .00000027 holiday per
square mile.
Now consider one holiday for
just California. That’s one holi
day per state or .00000063 holi
day per square mile, which
makes it 23 and one-third times
as important. That, therefore, is
why there will be no classes
Monday, Labor Day.”
—Oh, now we understand.
It seems that belfries are still
having trouble with bata. The
Summer Texan reports that in the
middle of a 10-minute concert on
the chimes at that institution,
there was suddenly heard a jumble
of beats and off notes. Six or
eight bats had entered the cubicle
of James Owen, who was, at the
time, grinding out “Stardust.”
Owen grabbed his clip board with
one hand and killed four of the
bats, wounding the rest. When
later informed that there was a
state law against killing bats in
Texas, Owen said he would stand
trial and plead self-defense.

Explanation of the title of a
column in the U. of O. Summer
Sun:
“Itsy-Bitsy” is a three-card
poker game with two cards down
and one up. Three aces is the high
hand; after threes, three-card
straight flushes are next; pairs
are third and low in value. Noth
ing else counts. Obviously, two
pair and full houses are impossible.
—Obviously, consequently the
title.

The University of Idaho calmly
announces the title of its year
book as “Gem of the Mountains.”

“If and when Syracuse univer
sity acquires a baseball team, men
with sloping shoulders will be on
the preferred list of scouts. Con
trary to popular belief, this type
of stature gives the man more
power than the square shouldered
person.”
—And all the time we thought!

From the Syracuse Daily
Orange:
"City fresmen will pick up their
today at the Panhell off and rush
ing invitations from 12 to 2 stu
dent deans will call for campus
girls at noon."
—White of them.
John Straub girl: These cakes
are as hard as stone.
Second J. S. girl: Sure, didn’t
you hear the girl say to take your
pick ?

Just a thought for a few little fellows on the trompin’
grounds for the first time would be to remind them that the
Pioneer papa (the big man with the gun) is the only fella who
can wear his hair “Hollywood” and not look undernourished.
This school life is going to be doggone tough on marble
seems to be working for a liquid
degree at a small community
called Seaside. Guess the cool and
calm Ricket has really been show
ing all the beach belles fine times
when he is not seen in a Portland
fish house eating tons of lobster
just to gain the admiration of a
shy organist who just works there.
A big haw-haw was sounded
recently when timid Dick “I’m an
easy man” Savinar moved in with
an unknown but very likeable
Frank Dinas. Seems both lads
have been courtin’ innocent Sally
"irresistible” Mann of the Kappa
abode on the sly, but now that the
news is out, the race for love and
affection is near an end with Mr.
Savinar once again panting his
affections to sweet Sally—unin
terrupted—thus far.
We understand a loving cup is
soon to be "presented to a kiddie
by the name of Tommy "Hobby
Lobby” Ray, who is doing his best
to break all standing records for
dating the most women. Word has
it there are three or four girls
left on the campus that have not
received an invitation of some sort
from the boy, but this we kind of
doubt.
Looks like all the campus girlies
are talking about a youngster with
the monicker of Joe Lind, who has
a new system for dating. Seems
that robust Joseph gloats over
pink phosphates while loading his
innocent misses with liquid of a
different variety. Must be a mo
tive, but we’ll leave that up to Joe
and the girls.
Course you’ve heard that Donald
"missed again, but I’ll be back
winter term” Dyer is no longer
engaged — not ever married —
to D o d i e Frideger. Bet she
misses that pretty Phi Delt pin,
but no doubt she’ll see it again
soon—only on somebody else’s
sweater the rate Don runs his
marriage and pin exchange.
Oh you lucky people!! ine lusiy
grapevine has it that henceforth
the industrious studes hereabouts
will get a chance at the much
talked about slick sheet, namely
OLD OREGON. This snappy en
larged magazine is edited by a
George Luoma who announces
a “BIG THREE PROGRAM”
which will be followed in the
future. Although the magazine
will still be dedicated to the alums
of our fair school it will be dis
tributed and read from attractive
cover to cover by the students and
faculty. Keep a sharp lookout for
this super edition which will be
circulating around the first of
each month.
Anytime now you may read in
bold headlines the simple but
startling fact that the immortal
Robinson's has closed its doors,
but little wonder when one stops
to realize that while you are read
ing this sad, sad clipping Bill
"ain’t it a shame” Davis is aboard
a choo choo heading for a nice
quiet army camp where he can
concentrate on new curves—
namely left flanks. We’ll miss him,
tis sure.
The news is spreading fast
around the campus that Bill
"please take a ride with me”
Williams, the boy with the "cute”
green auto, and also a SAE from
tiny UCLA is an ex-boy friend of
Shirley Temple who makes her
living working in Hollywood at
the motion pictures. Gee, one can
never tell how many celebraties
this school can turn up.
Who is this boy Terry Metcalf
who seems to have all the Chi O’s
in a dither? Some of these boys
really seem to be making up for
lost ‘time, eh Chi O's ?!
A request just popped in from
over my shoulder that carries thai,
markings of Robert Hamilton who
requests that the fair DcJ’s offer
more response when he is soooooo
kind as to raise his voice in
solemn and soothing serenades.
While on the subject of DG’s,
poor tuckered Elmer “I’ll pay for
the party” Sahlstrom was given a
going over by Phyl Horstman,
another DG chick, who insisted on
a thorough explanation of little
Elmer’s adventures in California.
Could it be beating a man is a sign
of true love?
Football fullback Dean Bond
seems to be very contented when
in the company of his number one
heart-throb Tri-Delt Lucille Chris
topherson. They make a cute
couple but a lot of guys are bound
to object.
A note of advice to Maclyn
Rowling of the Gamma Phi horn
stead:
Dear Marlyn
May we suggest that after this
when you invite a young man to
be a guest at one of your open
houses that you at least smile,
say “hello,” and per chance dance
wth the forlorn soul instead of
sneaking out with that handsome
lug you run around with, Jim
Kroder.
Signed,
One of the many.
Rumor has it that a girl by the
name of Ruth Chapel was not com
pletely swept off her feet by
romancing Harry Nordwick. Many
a woman would die for a date with
that man.
Congratulations and happiness
to a newly engaged couple who
hope to be Mr. and Mrs. sometime
next summer. Who? Well no less
than Theta Janet Bodwell and Bob
“I’ll pawn the Ford” Bissett.
Could it be Soup Campbell' was
not serious over his summer dates
with Yvonne Prather and instead
is now passionately involved with
Cis Steele ? How that funny boy
does get around.
In closing may we pay respects
to a blooming romance which
seems to have bitten tHe dust.
Let us pause in a moment of
silence for that what used to be
but ain’t now between Marilyn
Sage and Portland’s pride and joy
bill collector, Reed “somebody had
to lose” Grassle. Ho-Hum.
There are three classes of wo
men. The intellectual, the beauti
ful and the majority.—Turn-Out.
