.VOLUME XLVII Number 15 Piggers Okay At Corvallis Piggers got a big break, but only a temporary one, last night when Signe Eklund, president of AWS, announced that dating would be legal for the game with the Beavers Saturday. The announcement was made by Miss Eklund in the absence of a campus social chairman. Social policy for all campus affairs in the future will be made through this office which was a wartime casualty and is being reestablished this term. The policy for Saturday’s game was set after conference with faculty and student leaders, but Miss Eklund stressed the point that this is a temporary measure and is not to be con strued as a final declaration of - acceptable social action.

The second film is a March of Time feature, titled “The French Campaign.” This selection con cerns the early plans and later ' military operations of the last World War. The commentary is in French, but English insertions ^S-re added. Everybody is invited to at tend these movies that are of fered weekly by the educational activities board. Emerald Wins All-American No Canoe Fete This Year Board Decides at Meeting The Educational Activities board in a meeting Monday night wrote finis to any plans for the resurrection of the pre war canoe fete as an integral part of this year’s Junior Weekend. At Monday’s meeting it was decided that in view of the State Highway Commission’s plans to let contracts for the construe tion 01 tne new nignway be tween J u cl k i n s point and Broadway it was inadvisable to set a definite course of ac tion at the present time. The project was reviewed and the manager was directed to save as much as possible from this year’s budget to add to the $15,000 already set aside for the filling of the old channel, con struction of bleachers on the south side of the race, construction of a stage on the north side, and gen eral improvement of the site with the cooperation of the highway commission. The board is determined to have the work completed at the earliest possible time but the prohibitive cost of materials and labor at the present preclude any possibility of the project’s completion by spring term. The board also let a contract to the San Carlo Opera company for the presentation of “Carmen” on February 5, 1946. Printing of 2700 copies of the 1946 Oregana was authorized, and the additional paper needed for the annual was ordered. Authorizations for the printing of the Emerald, and 2600 “Piggers Guides” were granted before the board adjourned.

Ducks May Wing To OSC Via Trucks Due to the prevailing bus drivers strike, it is quite evident that some other method of trans portation to porvallis for the U of O-OSC game must be utilized. A remedy for this situation is in sight. There are trucks available to cary students to and from the game. At the College Side Inn and the Co-op are survey sheets to be signed by the students in terested. Those organizations wishing to travel in a body are to contact Evan Sax at 3886.

Belated Rating Awarded 194-5 Winter Term Papers By National Press Critics l'or Inc tilth time in seven years the Oregon Haile Emerald has been awarded the All-American Honor rating by the Asso ciated Collegiate press annual newspaper evaluation program. The rating, announcement of which was received Tuesday by Louise Montag, editor, applies to the Emeralds issued during winter term last year when Anne Craven was editor, Eliza beth Haugen managing editor, and Marguerite Wittwer, news editor. The announcement came as an unprecedented surprise since the same Emeralds en tered in this 33rd All-American Newspaper critical servfce had al raedy been awarded the First Class Honor rating last spring term. The All-American rating, higher than the First Class classi fication, was awarded the Emerald after all the papers in a represen tative group were judged by stan dards set by the papers themselves. The score the Emerald received Newspaper Week Brings Speeches, Articles, Visitors ine widest ooservance ot news paper week, in recent years, held in recognition of the services of the press during the war years and with the hope of altering the pub lic attitude of taking newspapers for granted, ended October 8. Six teen inches of space promoting the prgram were contributed by the Emerald during the past week, which marked the sixth annual na tional observance. Newspaper week is sponsored by the Newspaper Association Managers and the extent of the program in each community is de termined by the publishers them selves. One of the best observances given in any newspaper in the state was shown by the Eugene Register-Guard, according to Carl C. Webb, director of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association. The Guard held open bouse four evenings and afternoons during the week, playing host to approxi mately 1200 visitors. This local daily gave 320 column inches for news stories, editorials, and pic tures on newspaper week. Feature articles on "Freedom of the Press” were written for the Guard by George Turnbull and Warren C. Price, acting dean and associate professor of journalism, Homcoming Chairman Petitions Due October Petitions for chairmanship of the first post war Homecoming weekend December 1, are to be turned in to Janet Douglas at Hendricks hall before October 17, ASUO President Ed Allen an nounced Tuesday. Students petitioning for the po sition who have had experience with prewar Homecomings, either in official capacities or as partici pators, will be given preference when the ASUO executive council selects the chairman. However, ex perience is not a pre-requisite for petitioning and all students inter eted are urged to submit such in tentions. respectively, of the Oregon school of journalism. Throughout the state, 11 speeches were given by several au thorities and 22 newspapers used local editorials on newspaper week. Due to the lack of manpower necessary to conduct tours, there have been no open houses held, or extensive promotion sponsored, for newspaper week. An essay contest is being con ducted in Lane county for students from the 7th to 12th grades in clusive, the theme being “Freedom of the Press.” Prizes of $25, $10 and $5 in war stamps will be given the three best essays by the Regis ter-Guard. Oregonian Harmony Mystifies When the little reporter re turned to the Emerald news office Tuesday, sobbing broken sobs, the staff was non-plussed.

It will be to your advantage. placed it in position for considera tion and comparison with the oth ers in its group. The raised rating is the result of this comparison. The All-American rating signi fies that the Emerald, in compari son with college dailies published by schools approximately the same size as the University of Oregon, is a superior newspaper, according to the ACP scorebook received by Miss Mon tag'. The Pacemaker award is the only award higher than All-Ameri can and is awarded to a select few newspapers which are not only su perior but are outstanding in the field of progressive journalism. This award was given the Emerald in 1938. Among Emerald qualities especi ally noted by the critics, and en tered in the scorebook, are cam pus news coverage, "top notch” work in the news-feature depart ment, excellent war effort cover age, excellent copyreading, ex celent typography, consistently strong editorials . . . well-written, and varied in content, lively sports coverage. Reactions in the journalism school, when the news was reveal ed, were varied. George Turnbull, acting dean and faculty advisor to the staff, said, "Hot dog!
