Beauty on the Sp»t
h'rom the.(University of British Columbia's “Ubyssey," the'
Emerald has borrowed a popular feature. Beauty on the Spot.
Reach week a campus beauty will he named in the column, and
she will submit a double-spaced, typed article by the following
Monday. The. subject range is unlimited—anything about
which the coed wishes to write.
Refuting that the women on the campus are beautiful but
uumo, jean meiniieiu, awpuumuic
in liberal arts; pleasantly agreed to
write the featutre’s first item.
^ Offhand one would say that it is
not of any nation-shaking impor
tance if a mob jof malevolent beings
in a certain souther* city, namely
Atlanta, Georgia, or anywhere else
for that matter, hire a,dingy hall
and conducst a meeting punctuated
by bawls of “We hate the Negro!
We hate the Jew!’’ However, con
tinuous Fascist demonstrations like
this cannot be completely disre
garded by the American public.
Any people contains a small nu
cleus of hate-mongers, whom we
generally view as just sick individ
uals to be watched by the proper
authorities so that disturbances
might be prevented or subdued. It
is in this light that the majority of
us regard an outfit like the recent
ly organized Atlanta group, which
calls itself the Columbians. With
their colored shirts, shoulder patch
es, and revered symbol, which inci
dentally is identical to the one Rev
lon displays on its Pink Lightning
lipstick and fingernail polish, these
racial fanatics plan not to control
the world, but ultimately only the
fcie national government.
A few months ago they began the
project of controlling Atlanta, by
first dealing with the Negroes and
Jews, using the methods of the Ku
Klux Klan. When the state of Geor
gia refused' recognition of the or
ganization’s charter, it was imme
diately proclaimed a political party.
JEAN MEKRIFIEED
Just how long this group, which
employs strongarm methods, will
continue to function, no one knows.
Perhaps we should consider it no
more serioussly than does the At
lanta chief of police, who feels that
this symbol worshipping mob can
not attain any goal, since even the
leaders lack all but literacy.
Next week’s Beauty on the Spot
will be Lois Hill. Her article, not
more than 300 w'or'ds will be due
Monday at the Emerald.
The Gael - a-bout
By PAT KING
The pallor of a weekend hangover
shrouded the campus Monday
,morning as haggard students, wear
inf the Purple Heart under their
eyes, crawled in a stupor from one
class to the other. The campus has
perked up though and the outlook
appears brighter as we get down
to a little socializing tonight.
Those houses holding preference
desserts are: Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Alpha Omicrott Pi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Delta Upsilon, and Susan
Campbell.
The rest of the houses are holding
regular exchanges as follows: Dei
sts. Zeta-Yeomen; Highland house
Vets C and CC; Hendricks hall
Omega hall; Sigma Kappa-Sigma
Nu; Tri Delt- Phi Kappa Psi.
Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi; Kappa
Alpha Theta-Beta Theta Pi; Alpha
Chi Omega-Kappa Sigma; Chi Ome

Delta-Campbell club.
Alpha Gamma Delta-Chi Psi;

Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Zeta Tau Alpha will hold open
house.
Allied Arts league dominates the
scene Friday night with a freshman
party. Alpha Delta Pi, Villard hall,
anci Alpha hall will hold their re
spective firesides also.
The Emerald got its name be
cause Joaquin Miller called Oregon
the Emerald state.

Ex-AWS President
At Swedish School
Stories of days spent motoring
through the beautiful Swedish
countryside are among reports re
ceived from Sweden of Mrs. Hal
Larsen, the former Signe Eklund.
Mr. and Mrs.- Larson are taking
postgraduate courses at one of the
oldest universities in Europe, the
University of Uppsala. Aside from
their classes, they are teaching
English to a group of Swedish stu
dents.
\ isit to tjaierne
One of the most beautiful spots
visited by the Larsons was the
province of Dalerne, where old cus
toms and dress are being maintained
for the benefit of tourists. It was
in Dalerne that the American boys
were interned during the war. Signe
wrote that it was indeed a lovely
place to have been interned,
equipped with all modern conven
iences.
For 100 crowns, equivalent to
$27.50 in U. S. currency, they rent
a new and modern apartment in the
suburbs of Uppsala. An added lux
ury is a “bastu,” similar to a Turk
ish bath, provided every Frida}
night.
No Fuel
Signe said in a letter to her par
ents, that there is plenty of every
thing in Sweden but fuel. As then
are no coal deposits in Sweden, th<
only fuel is wood or coal importet
from Germany. The supply of im
ported coal from this source was
of course, cut down during the war
Copper, glassware, and a beau
tiful and efficient Swedish fir
place called a “keltslugn” ar
among the souvenirs the Larsen
are sending home.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Larson grad
uated from the University of Ore
gon last spring. Signe was a mem
ber of Mortar Board, and presiden
of the AWS her senior year.
Oyster shells in colonial day,

Emerald Seeks Oregon’s
Unknown Sweetheart’
Oregon's new contest, the search for the “Unknown Sweet
heart," is being sponsored by the women's page, but the pub
licity is being handled by a prominent man about campus. We
may not disclose the writer s name, but he has announced that
his system of finding' the contest winner will he unique and
amazing. Opening the Pigger's guide arbitrarily and throw
ing darts at the names of the coeds listed will constitute the
queen.

Who is the “Unknown Sweet
heart” of the campus?
Before you shake your heads and
turn to the sports page, leave us
digress. For years on this celebrat
ed campus there have been the pro
verbial popularity contests, with
various shapely girls eagerly vying
for the title of Oregon’s Dream
Girl, “Smiles a Million Girl,” “Fire
side Sweetheart,” “Queen of the
Campus Girl,” ad infinitum.
All of the contest winners have
been popular in campus activities,
belonging to numerous committees,
honoraries, and organizations.
Their faces are familiar to most of
the campus, and we always hear,
“There goes so and so—she was just
elected to the new “Oregon’s Lo
tion Cream Girl,” and immediate
! ly she’s labeled as a big wheel on
s the campus. It’s the same old story,
l year after year, and the contests
■ are always run along the same rut.
, Pick your activity girls (what is
. meant by activity) of the living
- organizations, and then stand be
> hind them and push.
What the Emerald is trying to do
s to find somewhere on this cam
3us an average, intelligent and ca
cable queen who doesn’t belong to
anything. She isn’t interested in
committees, doesn't belong to a
string of honoraries, isn't a politi
cal wheel, and to put it bluntly, is
town here at Oregon to get an edu
cation. Our unknown sweetheart is
somewhere on this campus, and
we’re going to find her.
