If someone else’s home is where a student hangs his hat, he lias more reason to expect his friends to observe a few rules <if courtesy. As an article in the news pages of today’s Emerald indi cates, the housing situation is likely to get worse if students living off-campus do not make their own house rules. In many cases, the student roomers have been taken into the extra rooms in private homes. The owners have accepted a certain invasion ■of privacy so that veterans can continue their education. While they may not want any eloquent thanks for their help in easing the housing shortage, they deserve to be treated with considera tion by their roomers and friends. Each incident of loud or disorderly conduct or lack of courtesy is another block in the way of those" who are trying to solve the housing problem. The story of one landlord’s un favorable report on his student guest will circulate and dis courage others who might open their homes during the emer gency. The student who is guilty of misconduct shuts the door against others as well as himself. When he plays host to his friends in his room, the student is responsible, also, for their conduct. To protect his own status in the housing picture, he can demand respect for the standards he makes. The University will need more housing for new students spring term. Without student cooperation, the work of the problem solvers can’t produce those extra rooms. If the new yell duke lives up to his performances Saturday night, the method used in selecting him may be applied to rally squad elections in the future. Ordinarily the rally squad is chosen by the executive council. In the final elimination last fall, the applicants had to demonstrate their ability—but only before a group of ten. If candidates for the rally squad had to appear before an assembly, the stipulation would discourage those who might petition for the glory of the role. It would give the more capable leaders a chance to demonstrate their ability in the right setting, and it would give the council the chance to judge student reaction. Because of the large number of petitioners for the squad, the council still would have to judge the first try-outs. But if the students are let in on the final eliminations, the rally squad would find a more favorable position in student opinion. Xotetaking can be a perplexing problem. Many students have never come in contact with an academic treatment of the subject of getting down on paper the words of the instructor. Yet if all had been taught the same, class notes still would come up no less scrawled, doodeled on the unsystematic than they are at present. Some have systems ... A ... 1 . . . n . . . (11 ... Others write sub-heads and paragraphs. Still others fill a page without room for another word. One student's rapid hand or scrawl enables him to record each word. Others envy his speed or pity him for the volume of reviewing he must.do. Another student listens to and under stands lectures, but his notes are few. Others think: "lie must know the subject well, but can he review?” There is a tendency to be distraught by scratching pens and pencils, by busy writers, and by non-notetakers. But as sure as taking an exam, a student must take his own notes, and read them. too. So find the way that is best for you. stick to it if you wish, and let the other fellow take his own notes, if he wishes. Powder Burns iiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiimmiiiiiiitiiiiltll By Rex Gunn Once upon a time there was a clan called the clan of the curling lip. The meeting place was wherever members met; the countersign was a sneer, and the motto read: “I’d rather be witty than right.” The clan has grown to many times the size of its original mem bership. It now includes sophisti cates, musical comedy worshipers, and adroit cliche coiners. All its principles, however, are the same. The only notable dif ference is that modern members avoid the obvious physical sneer and replace it with a mental one. Corn Corner Clan members must be “sharp.” Requirements for sharp lip curlers are witty remarks, original if pos sible. Less gifted aspirants can get by on quick cliches . . . ready made, filed, and close at tongue. Current top clan member on the west coast is a Hollywood glamor girl who, when an unknown man rudely brushed her evening gown while falling dead of a heart at tack, turned to her escort and said: "Isn’t it disgusting how far some people will go to attempt an im pression?” Corn Coiners Another member, ^n anonimous one, gained fame by watching two angles of an eternal triangle kill each other in a knife fight. He remarked: “Call my senator. I have the solution for the housing shortage.’ You, too, may become a corn coner; just follow the simple rules. Never take anything seriously. Never reason anything out. Never love anyone except yourself. Of course, you have to pay dues. Clan members are seldom taken seriously, and, in odd moments, they have been known to admit that being loved only by ones self seems to lack something. But then —they can always coin a quip and think how witty they are. iiniimiiiimimiiiiiUMimiiiimiiiimiiiiHiimimiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiimiHiiimiimiiiiiiniiimiiriiii feecJzuuilt andl fey Mayo-'d ^bucktaium “The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delight ful; so we turn all the lights down low—let it snow, let ii^_ snow, let it snow!” Many of the local rounders were enjoying the comforts of the crackling blaze this last weekend, and dim lights seemed to be the rule, rather than the exception. The outlying wining and dining spots still had their pallid parlors packed with pleasure-bound playmates.

Last known recording was ‘Krooked Blues Alligator Hop’ . . . with master numbers (on Gennett) 11638-11633. Two others (until then, unknown) were also listed: ‘Zulu’s Ball Workingman's Blues;’ ‘Sweet Something Dear If You Want My Heart,’ Collectors had long surmised that there were other sides made at the same session which produced Gennett 5274 (‘Krooked Blues') because of the gap in master numbers. The recording date was late in 1924, and collectors assumed the masters to have been faulty, as no one had reported any new discovery of Oliver's for 16 years.

So, past sales girls and w-aiting Harry James fans I ran to said back room to scramble through juke-box culls until the King Oliver came up. It had been almost four years since I had read about it and at first I didn’t realize what I had found. It was worth the 15 cents paid for it, and I couldn’t hurry home fast enough to play it.

Last week an announcer sign ing off “What’s Doin’, Ladies?” said, “This is ABCD, the American Broadcasting Company.” Mrs. David C. White of Portland was elected the first Mother of the Week on the same program be cause of a letter written by a wounded serviceman in the Vet erans’ hospital, who extolled her faithful visits to the servicemen and her conversion of her home into an open house for them.
