.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.

Tonight at 7:15, the French
film “Dr. Knock” will be shown

lows the witty French style, with
its setting in a small modern
French town. As the dialogue is
entirely in French, English sub
titles are added throughout the
picture.
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. An
announcement of schedules will

raedy been awarded the First

term. The All-American rating,
higher than the First Class classi

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

Emerald during the past week,
which marked the sixth annual na

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

Harmony
Mystifies
When the little reporter re
turned to the Emerald news office
Tuesday, sobbing broken sobs, the
staff was non-plussed. Finally her
tale of woe w/ tears splashed on
the editorial shoulders.
“Dr. Souers (Philip W.) won’t
tell me what ‘The Oregonian Har

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! This is
the best news I’ve heard in a long
time!”
Feminine members of the statf
