See Col. 2 ^VOLUME XLYII Number $ YW To Give Party Tonight At Bungalow By Phyl Perkins The doors of tire "Y” Bunga low will swing wide this eve ning at 6:30 and tire mellow notes of records pour out while scores of curious freshmen pour in. The look of anticipa tion in their eyes has been prompted by rumors that with in the Bungalow hides the fu ture of each and every unsuspect ing frosh girl on the campus. The rumor, which Majory Skordahl and Ann Scripter, cochairmen, are spreading as rapidly as possible, has a semblance of truth, for the evening’s program follows Clara belle Alphadelta, the typical UO female frosh, through two other most important years at college. Ready To Win Clarabelle the Freshman, enact ed by Jeanne Lichty, comes up to the University glowing with vital ity ready to win the hearts of all Eds and Coeds with her rendition ties board in room 207, Chapman of “Romance” from the Desert (Please turn to page eight) Opening Dance October 6 Traffic Situation Worse; Campus To Be Patrolled By Joan Beckman University of Oregon students, in spite of the warning's of Police Chief L. L,. Pittinger, have continued to violate speed limits, the all-night parking rule, ignore stop signs, earn pas sengers on running boards and disregard parking regulations. 'J'lie danger zone of the campus traffic is Thirteenth street, as every student crossing from class to class has found. According to Pittinger, the traffic situation has grown steadily worse during the past two weeks, and as compared with the same problem last year, due to the increase of cars owned by campus students. Oregon law sets the speed limit by any school at 20 miles per hour; and no car may be parked on Eugene streets overnight. In the past nothing has been done about students’ jay-walking, and breaking of traffic regulations, but the police department will patrol the district more closely than ever from now on, and is going to crack down. Papa’s Gonna Spank In the past these offences have not been strictly dealt with, for said Pittinger: “Thirteenth must be kept open for safety's sake. Before now we have closed our eyes o the stuchits’ jaywalking, but thse rules in the future are not to be ignored. We’ll just have to crack the whip and make them realize papa's gonna spank!” As 13th street affords one of the main avenues by which cars can get through to the east side of town, it hasn’t been practical to close it to traffic. As a matter of fact, the chief may plant a traffic cop who will direct all operations and be able to catch any culprits on the spot. ♦President Newburn WHI Meet Upperclassmen Today at Mac.

Newburn is a versatile man according to an account given by one of his Iowa colleagues. Before his academic life as dean of the liberal arts school at the University of Iowa and now as Oregon’s president, he served as a coach following his junior year in college. He played three years of varsity football and basketball. During his vacations J^he was a lifeguard and a member of road and bridge gangs. Sold Papers Still further back in his life he sold papers in Cuba, Illinois, and organized the carrier boys there. He has always been keenly inter ested in business. Another inter est which he still maintains is the study of the history of ideas. The story of his achievements includes the development of a new liberal art curriculum designed for the students’ needs, service on many national educational boards, work on war education and a trip abroad to 'study European public education methods.

Footlighters Entertaining-- Never Tops By Betty Jane Bennett A new and different type of en tertainment was initiated to an unusually large audience in Mc Arthur court Wednesday evening, when Adelaide Abhot, Lucielle Browning, Edward Kane and John Brownlee presented “Footlight Fa vorites.” Although the program was light, it was well-balanced with traditional and modern num bers. The music was entertaining but never outstanding even in its best moments. In the opinion of this reviewer, the appearance and stage manner of the quartette far ex celled their vocal prowess. In the trio from “Rosalinda,” Mr. Kane was the most outstand ing of the three singers, bringing life and sparkle to an otherwise dull scene. Miss Abbot's perfor mance of the famous “Laughing Song” from “Rosalinda” contained excellent diction and was well re ceived by her audience. In the gay “La Vie Parisienne," Mr. Brownlee added to the fun with his comical gestures; and in Gilbert and Sulli van’s “Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes,’’ Mr. Kane’s diction was commendable. Familiar Themes The selection from “Maytime" by Romberg, as sung by Miss Browning and Mr. Kane, though not always on pitch, contained en joyable familiar themes. In the Madrigal and Quartet from “The Mikado" the quarett worked to gether well, bringing out effec tively the peculiar style of the mu sic. Again, in the well-known “Flow ers That Bloom in the Spring” the humorous manner of Mr. Brown lee was enjoyed. As an encore to the second the rapidly moving spinning quartett from “Martha” was presented in a profesional in terpretation. Romberg’s “Desert Song” med ley was notable chiefly for the uni fied expression of the group. Miss Browning’s presentation of “The World Is Mine” displayed the richness of her contralto and also contained excellent diction. The medleys from both “One Touch of Venus” and “Oklahoma” were perhaps the most enthusiastically received numbers on the program, the former containing such fav orites as “Speak Low” and “The Trouble With Women.” The lilting “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” and “People Will Say We’re In Love” were given refreshing touches by the quartet’s arrange ments. The title song, “Oklahoma” pro vided a rousing climax to the pro gram. Encores included an original arrangement of “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top” and the lovely' “My Meadowland,” a Russian folk I song. I Honoraries To Sponsor Joint Affair With or without a football vic tory, Kvania raid Scull and Dag ger will coordinate to present, "Kick off,” tiie first big dance of fall term on the evening of Octo ber Gth, at McArthur court. Co-chairmen Ann Burgess and Decane Bond phophesy that the "Kick Off", appropriately titled to represent Oregon’s opening foot ball game with Idaho, should be the biggest and most successful dance of the season. Both organizations met Wed nesday evening to discuss plans for the coming event, and the following committee heads were chosen: Robbicburr Warrens and Don White, tickets; Barbara Haw ley and John Kroner, orchestra; Joan Merwin, chaperones; Claire Sering, clean up; Janet Hicks and Winston Carl, decorations; Doro thy Habel and Jack Powell, publi city; Sue Schoenfeklt, posters.; Kay Snider, lights; and Bob Moran, entertainment. John Kroder and Barbara. Haw ley are keeping the name of the orchestra incognito, but they have promised “a well known band and a good' one." Decoration plans are already under way, with football as the main theme. Co-chairmen Janet Hicks and Winston Carl expressed the feeling at the meeting Wed neseday night that “with this theme and the return of football and the good old football spirit the ‘Kick Off is a sure thing for success.” Sue Schoenfeldt, acting with publicity and posters, has urged that all students do their part in plugging and supporting Oregon’s first dance of the season. Watch the Emerald for further announcements for sale and price of tickets. Co-op Lads Repaint O’ Campbell Co-op beat the Let termen to the draw last Thurs day night when 14 men, armed with yellow paint and brooms, painted the huge historic “O” atop Skinner’s Butte between !):30 and 10:00 p. m. The Letter men were planning to send up the “frosh” men of the eampus to do the job. After the painting, the tired, but happy, group piled into three ears and proceeded to serenade the women’s living organiza tions, boasting of their meritor ious deed. Hearing a rumor in the wee hours of the morning, the trio of cars went roaring back up the winding roads to cheek up on the the possibility of intruders and other would-be hero-painters. Finding the “()” quiet and un touched, still guarding the main street of Eugene, they returned to their respective upper and lower bunks.
