JProfessors Air Gripes About Student Blunders Coughers, Latecomers, Emerald Readers Draw Criticism from University Faculty By CHRISTINE CHRISTIAN ' With many foot-in-door tactics and perseverance of a news hound, the Emerald reporter managed to find herself in the presence of several Oregon professors and ask, “What tees you off about students?” Results of this query were not en tirely successful since most of these scholars seemed to be a bit puzzled at the question. Ever resourceful, this reporter changed the approach and the question became, “What annoys, Gleeman Concert Slated for Igloo "V.. The Eugene Gleemen will hold tbeir first winter home concert in MacArthur Court Thursday eve ning at 8:15. This marks the 20th anniversary of the organization of the men’s chorus, composed of Eu gene business and professional * men of the town and University students.

Acting accompaniest is Stacey Green, also of the school of music. Feature on the program will be George Boughton, violinist.

All students who have been ap proved for late registration must —complete registration by Wednes day evening, or that approval will expire and they must petition again, announced Clifford Con stance, assistant registrar yester day. or makes you mad, about stu dents ? Answers were varied and in teresting, but before the reporter had left the subjects of this query, they all admitted that students weren’t such a bad .species after all. After compiling the results of this survey, the Emerald presents them to you as follows: Eyler Brown, associate pro fessor of architecture—“When I run up against somebody that doesn’t have an open mind, any other annoyance is relatively trifling.” Not Original H. C. Franchere, assistant pro fessor of English—“I suppose my biggest gripe is the repetition of the same line or excuse, just as though they didn’t know we used the same ones when we went to school.” Janet Woodruff, associate pro fessor of physical education—■ ‘Fooling around and not getting Sown to business.” D.

Townspeople Say Thoughtlessness Common; 1 Complain of Failure to Knock Before Entering The lack of courtesy and good manners on the part of Uni versuy students visiting boarders in Eugene homes has dis gusted homeowners renting rooms, and has also kept other Eugene residents from renting their guest rooms to students Tted housin§> recent reports from houseowners have indi Students visiting, their friends who are living uumes nave Deen inclined to walk into the house without knocking1 or making their presence known, ac cording to several homeowners near the campus. The student boarders themselves have been very well-mannered, but their guests and, oftentimes, complete strangers, roam the various rooms of a private home with no thought for the owners, who are making a sacrifice by renting their guest looms so that otherwise homeless students can attend the University. One Vandal An instance of near-varidaiism has been reported by one Eugene housewife who told of strangers entering the house without knock ing, going upstairs to a guest room and making deep scratches on several windows and ruining a mirror then leaving without the owner having any knowledge of anyone’s presence. So far no losses have been reported, but under the present circumstances it would be easy for thefts to occur. In houses where several students are living, it is necessary to leave the doors unlocked, the owners said, thus making entrance avail able to everyone; however, those students who do not live in the private homes should have the courtesy to knock and inquire if the person they wish to see is there. “I feel that this is still my home,” one woman said, “and I would appreciate it if students would treat it as such.” Boys Noisy Most of the trouble seems to be occurring in houses where men students are living, but it is the uninvited guests who are causing the trouble. One report stated that boys run noisily up and down the stairs, slamming doors with no consideration for the occupants. Homeowners only ask visitors to observe the same courtesies when calling on students at their homes as they would anywhere else; namely, ring the doorbell and wait until someone answers before coming inside; find out if the per son they wish to see is in,0 and, if not, to leave a message and not go to the room if the occupant is not there; be out of the house by 11 p.m., so that students .living there will have the quiet necessary for studying. If these understandable requests will be observed by all visitors, many disturbances will be elimi nated and other homeowners with guest rooms will be willing to rent their rooms to students who need them.
