To Boo or Not to Boo That Is the Emerald Query By LAURA OLSON What do you think of booing at f trfe- basketball games ? This question, which is the topic of much discussion on the campus at the present time, is the basis for a survey of Webfoot opinion. Since no men were to be found on the Oregon territory last night (they were probably all at Cor vallis), these opinions are from female Webfoots. - Liz Gulley, freshman in liberal arts: It shouldn’t be done. It’s definitely high-schoolish. Trudi Chernis, freshman in journalism: Everybody will think wrong of the institution, especially when the other side doesn’t boo. Janet Douglas, senior in liberal Samuels to Talk On Puerto Rico Dr. D. G. Samuels, associate pro fessor of romance languages, will speak to the Town and Campus group of the First Christian church Sunday evening at 6:15. The title of his lecture will be “Race Re lationships in Puerto Rico.’ Dr. Samuels was released from the Engineer Research Office in September, 1945, and has been teaching languages on this campus since that time. He is a graduate of Columbia University and has travelled widely in Europe and the West Indies. An author of many articles on Puerto Rican literature, Dr. Samuels is also familiar with the life and people in Puerto Rico and the problems arising there. A short devotional service will precede the meeting, which will be held in th% White Room of the Christian church. All students are ^ invited to attend. Spring is Coming, Girls Are Splashing By Lynn Smith Spring- is coming, hearts are happy, and three lucky co-eds are going to be even happier when they receive their invitations to join the famous “Amphibian” club here at Oregon. No information is being given as to who the three chosen “ducklings” will be, however, al though the Amphibs have already made their choice. Tryouts were held in the pool at Gerlinger on January 8, and again on January 15. Twelve girls com peted in the tryouts and three made grade. The names are being with held until the invitations are sent out, along with the pledge ribbons which will surely be accepted and worn proudly. ^And well they might be, because requirements which must be passed by every girl who wishes to . become a member are quite stiff, and anyone who passes well de s serves mention in the Oregon “Hall of Fame.” Even though we don't know who the three chosen girls will be, we offer our sincere congratulations in advance. “Happy splashing,” girls, and may you do your share in keeping the Amphibs right where they are today, at the very top on the lists of truly good swimmers!

Alice Casady, freshman in liberal arts: I was shocked to death. Gloria Stannard, freshman in business administration: Where is our pride? Katy Leonard, freshman in liberal arts: It’s a matter of spon taneous combustion. Louise Robson, sophomore in musicIt’s unsportsmanlike ‘ for boys to boo when the decision is against Oregon. Jean Patterson, freshman in business administration: Why don’t they yell the yells, instead of boo ing? Kay Krull, freshman in journa lism: It’s highly unsportsmanlike; and gives the cheering section of the school a bad name. Mary Lou Crites, freshman in liberal arts: Well, if they boo too. Miss Fannie McCamant, house mother of Susan Campbell hall: I don’t approve of it. Gerry Arnold, sophomore ..in physical education: The referee can’t see everything. So ends our survey. The general opinion is unsportsmanlike. Well, how about it, Webfoots?

Rocky weighed in at 155 1-2 and Horne came in at 156.
