Real McCoy on Paint:
'Just Feminine Custom‘
♦ By HATFIELD McCOY
Why do women use cosmetics ?
A survey of UO women taken in
the post-New Year’s rush to unpack
and renew social ties showed vari
ous opinions.
The reporter conducting the sur
vey had a difficult job: first be
cause he was a man, secondly, be
cause he had a way of blurting out
his questions that caused women to
hesitate, shift their eyes in search
of escape, and then with a look that
pleaded “Don't quote me” to blurt
out a few hurried words. Thus the
reporter interviewed nine women
from various living organizations.
Pride Challenged
The reporter’s first question was

Veterans to Hear
Red Cross Leader
Walter Mailf, prominent Red
Cross leader, who is an ex-marine
and veteran of both World Wars,
will deliver an address of special in
terest to veterans at 4 p.m., Tues
day in 207 Chapman, Dorothy Ras
mussen, campus Red Cross chair
man, announced Monday.
In what manner the Red Cross
may be of service to University vet
erans will be the topic of Mailf’s
discussion, Miss Rasmussen said.
"Mailf is reported to be intensely in
I terested in the problems of the vet
I 4£an. All students are urged to at
tend the meeting,” she declared.
After being discharged from the
marine corps in 1942, Mailf returned
to the Pacific theater to work with
the Red Cross. By December, 1945,
he was back in the United States
and has continued his service for
this organization since that time.
Halfback Onlooker
Misses Top Play
Jim Newquist, Webfoot half
back, sat watching the Bose Bowl
game in Pasadena between UCLA
and Illinois. He glanced at the
timer’s clock, misread it, thought
the first half was over, and
stepped out to get a hot dog.
While he was gone, A1 Hoisch
of UCLA galloped 103 yards for a
touchdown—the outstanding play
of the game and the longest run
in Bose Bowl history.
THE SEMI-FINALS
They really fouled us up December.
Perplexing final week — remem
ber?
But now we hear they’ve got it
fixed,
This term won’t find us half per
plixed.
But say, I’ve got the best solution—
NO final week is my conclution.

incomplete Registration Figures
Number 5258 for Winter Term
Incomplete registration figures
for winter term reached a total of
525C Monday morning, according to
C. E. Avery, University registrar.
This figure is 440 below fall term
enrollment.
Although registration is not com
plete, this figure is above the an
ticipated figure, which was expect
"^Tlo suffer a 15 per cent mortality
rate under the fall term registra
tion total of 5696. Had the expected
■nortality rate of 15 per cent taken
■place, total registration for winter
■term would have numbered 4842.
Of this 5256 total, 104 are old re
turnees who were at school pre
viously but who were not on the
campus fall term, and 230 are new
students who have not been here
before. This makes 334 students
who were not here last term and
leaves a total tof 4922 now enrolled
for winter term, who were also here
fall term.
These figures would indicate that
1774 of those who began fall term
have dropped out. A further break
down of figures is impossible until
all registration is complete and final
f;gures are in.
Officer Blames Work,
Disinterest of Students
(See also story rage 3)
The resignation of Ted Hallock
as secretary-treasurer of the ASUO
as well as student member of the
educational activities board was re
ceived by ASUO President Tom
Kay Monday.
Hallock explained his resignation
in a brief letter to Kay: .. Outside
work has made it difficult to work
efficiently in my job. Absolute ap
athy on the part of Independent
students mocks any attempt on my
part to reconcile extracurr icular ac
tivities with those of student gov
ernment.
Thanks Given
“My sincere thanks to you for a
pleasant working acquaintance.”
Hallock’s recent promotion as
program director of KUGN was the
outside work to which he referred,
and in an additional statement made
to the Emerald he enlarged on his
second reason: “I want the Indepen
dent students to know that I would
have made time to work in their in
terests were it not for their com
plete lack of interest in student gov
ernment.”
Vacancy to Be Filled
According to Tom Kay, the vacan
cy will be filled by a majority vote
of the ASUO executive council on
Tuesday.
“The vacancy on the executive
council will be filled largely on the
recommendation of Howard Lem
on, ISA president, so that the divi
sion of votes on the executive coun
cil under the preferential system
will be maintained,” Kay said.

the Independent ticket must turn

The petitions, which may be ob
tained from the offices of the dean
of men and the dean of women,

of 20 Independent students and stat
ing the qualifications of the candi

tions will be interviewed by the
committee on freshman elections at

Arrange Meet
Business and news departments
of the Emerald will hold organiza
tional meetings at 7:30 tonight in
the Journalism building. Both new
and old members are asked to at
tend.
George Pegg, business manager,
has announced that the meeting of
the advertising staff will begin in
105 Journalism and will be divided
into separate departments included
in the work of the business staff.
Staffs to Hear Editor
News staff, copy desk, and night
staff workers will meet in 104 Jour
nalism to hear an explanation of
the Emerald work by Marguerite
Wittwer-Wright, Emerald editor,
and meet editorial upper staff
members. Application cards for
workers will be filled out at the
meeting.
“If this term's Emerald is to come
up to the standards set by the 600
students surveyed in the Emerald
poll taken last term, we will need a
larger, more efficient staff," Mrs.
Wright said.
Advantages Eisted
In explanation of the advantages
of the work, she added, “Work on
the Emerald not only constitutes a
service to the University but is an
opportunity for students to learn
the practical aspects of newspaper
work. It provides a means to meet
the most active students on the
campus, as well as to become direct
ly acquainted with faculty members
and distinguished campus visitors.”
Pegg asked that both old and
new members of the advertising
staff attend their meeting, since all
workers will have new schedules.
Among the departments of news
paper in which experience can be
gained through the Emerald busi
ness staff are advertising layouts,
contract accounts, and office pro
cedure, Pegg said.

Newman Club Announces
Heads of Friday Dance
Committee heads for the winter
term dance sponsored by Newman
club for its members and guests
were announced by Donna O'Brien,
general chairman, at the executive
council meeting Monday.
Committee heads are Joe Ship
man, entertainment; Frances Deg
nan, chaperones; Carol Rosenau,
decorations; Joe Conroy, music;
Ray Straub; and Kit Wilhelm, pub- j
licity chairman. Ticket chairmen
will be announced later.
g-arcl to registration so that each
day is approximately filled. A
minimum of examination crowding’
will be inflicted on either students
or faculty.”
Comp Courses Special
Five days, March 17 to 22, will
be utilized to administer the ex
minimum of examination crowding
er division courses, combined uni
form examinations will be given.
English composition examinations
will be given in a special period
from 2 to 4 p. m. on Saturday,
March 15.
Avery stated that in making out
the new schedule it has been im
possible to provide an examina
tion schedule offering alternate
exam seating for periods of two
consecutive hours. Only by cut
ting seriously into the instruction
al days of the term, or the spring
vacations, could such a plan have
been wrorked out, he said.
Exams Spread
Two advantages which did not
exist during the final week used
for the first time fall term, were
given by Avery as reasons for re
verting to the single-examination
schedule. ‘‘Study for each exam,”
he said, ‘‘can be done at one time,
and a more equitable distribution
of the student’s load during final
week is made possible.
C. L. Constance, assistant regis
trar, who drafted the examination
schedule, said that he had spread
examinations as much as possible
in order to lessen the chance that
a student will have all his exams
on one or two days. He estimated
that 70 per cent of all students
would have exams on the last day
of the week.
The schedule committee is com
posed of all deans of the Univer
sity, Registrar Avery, who func
tions as chairman, and Constance*
secretary for the committee.
Grades Readied
For Friday Release
Grade reports will be, issued
Friday, January 10, from 3 to
5:30 p.m. at McArthur court. Sta
tions will be set up on the east
and west balconies. Students
whose names begin with the let
ters A through J may secure their
grades on the east balcony, and
those from J through Z on the
west side.
C. E. Avery, University regis
trar, stated that no one should cut
classes to pick up grades as both
sections are sufficiently staffed to
handle the flow of students with
comparative ease.
World News InauguratedToday
Today the Oregon Daily Emerald inaugurates its new policy
of world news, under the direction of Gloria Smith, junior in
journalism. Page 8 of this issue is devoted to news items con
densed from the night report of the Associated Press. The
Emerald is receiving this service daily direct from the North
west circuit of the AP.
Because of space limitations, each separate story will neces
sarily be trimmed to its bare essentials. A full coverage of major
news events, however, with now and then a short item from
the lighter side of the news will be the aim of the wire-room
editors.
Several journalism majors are needed to assist in the nightly
selection and copyediting of the report. Those interested should
contact Miss Smith at the Emerald office, journalism building.
Written suggestions for improving the coverage or the style
are invited, according to Jack L. Billings, managing editor, and
should be addressed to him in care of the Emerald.
