Phi Betas Hold Rush Tea Meeting of the Alpha Chi Omega house last Thursday eve ning, Phi Beta actives and alumni were hostesses at a rush tea for approximately 75 women enrolled in music, dance, and drama at the University. Each rushee listed her previous schooling, experience, and in what she is enrolled at the present time. Afterwards, each was given a copy of “Baton,” the national publica tion, which records the activities of all chapters in the United States. Later in the evening a musical program was presented by June Johnson, Rose Zena Latta, Janet Schafers, and Patricia Metcalf. All accompaniments were by Patricia Metcalf. Following the musical portion of the program, refreshments were served by the members of Phi Beta. The new national president, Mrs. Lotta Carl of Eugene, was present. All new pledges will be formally pledged into the honorary this coming Thursday evening, Nov. 1. In 1885 Otto Mergenthaler took out a United States patent for a slug casting machine, which was the forerunner of the modern lino type and enabled one man to set the quantity of type formerly set by five or six. Powder Burns (Continued from page two) No, you can never cTo that. They can’t he refuted because they never do anything. They are always calm and collected because they never accept responsibility. Hence they have nothing to worry about. Just the fact that they are alive and gracing us by living among us is enough. Working ITp Such critics aren’t to be con fused with those who start at the bottom of the subject they intend to criticize and work their way up. These latter critics are human just like us. They criticize football players after playing football, speech makers after making speeches, etc. They are, however, in the minority. The other critics are fruitful and multiply much more rapidly. Perhaps that’s because the formula they follow is so easy to United Egg Layers of US Cackle Past 14 Billion Our hens laid fourteen billion eggs in the United States last year. To our way of thinking that is a lot of hen fruit. People living in this great country of ours should be pardonably proud of our chickens, yet the American laying hen has been maligned, shoved around, cursed by the Russians, and in general supremely pushed about. Our producers of the other half of “ham and,” to put it bluntly, have been given a dirty deal by the OPA, our allies, and the American public at large. Day in and day out through the war years, our hens have con tinued to put out the goods. For instance: if the entire supply of hen fruit produced last year was laid end to end around the equator, it would go around the world three times. (Our figures are based on the fact that the average egg is two inches long—does not include ostrich eggs). That, my friends, would be a lot of scrambled eggs. Rough on the Chicken The OPA had the audacity, despite their good record, to make follow. It takes no effort at all. They merely watch, read or hear about someone doing something; and if they don’t understand it, it automatically stinks. r our hens point free, regardless of the fact that while people were having chicken for Sunday dinner because they were point free, the highly-touted red point hogs, cattle, and sheep laid around dying of old age. The great American egg has become one of our institutions, without which, many people believe we could not long survive. In our time of need then hens bravely carried on. W;- might learn some lessons from the egg. laying Fays We have a plan to pay off the national debt in a few years if the egg is used. All that is required is some simple economics, ten new bureaus in Washington, confisca tion of all laying hens in Captivity, and lots of eggs. Instead of taxing so heavily the government could sell eggs at the rate of twelve dollars a dozen. Thus if fourteen billion eggs were laid last year, it would mean a total of fourteen billion dollars into the coffers of the national treasury. From the foregoing, dear reader, you can see that either I am nuts, or you arb. One thing you must say about Japs. They had enough sense to get in out of the uranium. i!
