This Is Immediate, Urgent, Individual Aid to Europe sometimes seems a distant phrase, and the China Relief doesn’t have much immediate significance to us Rehabilitation for the Philippines isn't altogether like helping a next-door neighbor, and reconstruction in Coventry ha; lost much of its timeliness. Americans desire, for the most part io feed, house, clothe, and in general help suffering countries, jfcut the saving of a slice of bread, a meatless Tuesday or a bundle for Britain seem slow and uncertain processes. The phrases that it will be the policy of the United States to “send -wheat to Europe” or to “aid stricken Greece” do not affect each American, and do not demand the concentrated energy of the Individual citizen. . But something has come up that is immediate, is urgent, and is individual. The World Student Service Fund, providing the Three R’s of Good Will—Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruc tion—is opening its annual campus drive Monday. And with its 1947-48 initiation travels a challenge for each student worthy of being called a student to look up from the booth in the Side, the chair in the libe, the bleachers at a ball game—and listen. There’s misery in Europe, there’s suffering in China, there’s hunger in Southeast Asia. And the students of the intellectually and physically famished nations, who will make xoua\ s pccwc plans materialize, are among the victims. Their sufferings can not be measured in physical discomforts alone, although those sufferings are great, but their educational needs are also pressing. The World Student Service Fund has recognized these needs, and through their student-supported organization, is supplying the necessities of foreign students. The estimated WSSF budget for the 1947-48 school year has earmarked approximately .33 per cent for European student relief, 33 per cent to national student relief committee in Shang hai, China; 12 per cent to Southeast Asia, including India, In donesia, Japan, Viet Nam, Burma, Siam, and the Philippines, 3 per cent for emergency deeds; 1.7 per cent for European stu dents traveling in the United States, and 16 per cent for the educating and operating budget. Oregon’s drive starts soon. If Oregon students will think of that need, and think of the health and eduction their contri butions can restore to shattered countries, their hearts, and consecpiently their pocketbooks, may be touched. Rather than go into the drive with the House-pitted-against-House cam paign, or the Two-Bucks-a-Duck-Will-Give-Us-the-Banner sort of thing, why not support the drive on its own merits, and, with a hand across the sea, help a cold and hungry fellow student. —J.B.S. Record Reissues Now Meet Students' Demands for Oldies By MICHAEL CALLAHAN Reissues are sweeping the record markets this month, and the Big Four disc companies are sparing no cobwebs to meet John Public’s demands for old-timers. Decca scored the jump with a flood of rewaxings, one of which, Clyde McCoy’s "Sugar Blues,” is already in the October top-20 lists. Along with Mc Coy’s trumpet, Decca has dusted off such hard-to-get classics as Russ Morgan’s “Wabash Blues,” “Stumbling,” “Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” and “The More We Get Together,” der Bingle’s ‘Pennies From Heaven,” the Merry Macs’ “Hawaiian [War Chant,” and Connee Boswell’s famous “Martha.” The biggest hit to come out of Decca’s files probably will be the revival of one of the most sensational combos of the ’30s: Jimmy Dorsey’s ork with Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell on the vocals. Included in the reissued “Latin American Fa vorites” album are JD’s “Green Eyes," "Brazil,” “Amapola,” “The Breeze and I,’’and "At the Crossroads.” By the way, those last two are the popular ballads taken from the Andalucia piano suite; “Crossroads” uses the melody of Malaguena. On the platter for Victor recuttings are more Glenn Millers, especially his "String of Pearls” and “Sunrise Serenade,” more old Artie Shaws, and Charlie Barnett’s “Cherokee” and "Red skin Rhumba.” Pick of the platter crop: Decca’s Randy Brooks and his or chestra take this week’s honors for a truly unusual record. It’s “Tenderly,” and those who remember the late, great Hal Oregon HEmerald ALL-AMERICAN 1946-47 The Oregon Daily Emerald, official publication of the University of Oregon, published daily during the college year except Sundays, Mondays, and final examination periods.

B I'LL TRY SOME OF THIS NEW PERFUME, "LOVE'S AWAKENING'.’ IT COST TEN DOLLARS AN OUNCE, SO IT SHOULD ^^A^AKENHUNKf HELLO. MISS LOPNA.' IT’S BEEN A SWELL DAv^ iSNIFF-SNIFFf GEE THAT’S A WCNDEEFUL / *M5u~'Jk: I Kemp will find an amazing similarity between the Brooks and Kemp arrangements. Brooks, whose trumpet sounds as mel low as Spivak’s, spotlights his discs by a long solo, weaving his horn in and above the orchestral melody. Randy has shown his ability to follow other leader’s arrangements (his “After Hours” in the Lionel Hampton style was a sellout). Keep an eve on him when he settles on his own style. Victor's Freddy Martin and Decca’s Fddy Heywood hit the dealers together this week on identical records: “When I Write My Song,” backed up by “Don’t You Love Me Anymore?” Although Heywood has Bob Eberly handling the vocs, we pick Martin’s “concerto-style” for smoothness. Franz Haydn is the latest master to have his classics turned modern. Tex Beneke has just cut a fast and jumpy “Surprise Symphony” for Victor, with “A Girl That I Remember,” sweet and sentimental on the back. Here is good variety for dancing, with unusual string section and drum solos in “Symphony.” "Program Time * is the latest offering from the glee club maestro. Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians have a power ful style that is already a musical tradition, and in his latest collection his showcase singers again prove themselves the finest in this decade. Included in “Program Time” are some of the club’s most popular encores: “Begin the Beguine,” “In the Still of the Night,” “Eili, Eili,” “The Lost Chord,” “Jungle Drums,” and "Old Man River." Reader Scores Piggin' Ban Sometimes school customs and traditions become a little out of place, with particular reference to the outcast position of the so called “pigger” at the athletic event. It seems well worthy of mention that when you are warned that you will sit with your wife at a ball game “at your own risk”, it is a bit ridiculous. At the last football game between Oregon and USF, the area was I roped off between the men and women. What was the matter? Were they afraid that the men might molest the women? Fortunately not. Rather they were observing a tradition which might be made compul sory for children in a kindergarden and enforced on them by their teacher. The point is; what difference does it make whether a man attends the football game with his wife, his girl friend, the boys from his house or living organization, or his mother? It shouldn’t cause a two-year-old yelping preformance on the part of a bunch of grown men. a final point which seems to carry the most weight; who’s bus iness is it anyway but your own, if you wish to accompany someone besides the fellows to the game ? This article may appear to be written in poor sport. That is not the case. School customs and traditions are as American as apple pie, and equally as enjoyable to indulge in. However, let’s exercise custom and spirit that is not quite so immature. D. R. DO YOU \ / I'LL SAY..; A REALLY )( WHAT MAN J LIKE IT y S COULD J HUNK t/ ( RESIST ) V-iTLZ ( MRS.

Con gratulations Barbara King. The boys made an excellent choice.. The four princesses are: Gammafie Janet Paulson, Alfafie Mary Knox, Theta Nancy Chamberlain, and DG Betty Perry. jerry Hoyland saved Tuesday night to pick his own Sigma Chi sweetheart by planting his pin on DG Kay Sharp. SAE Ed De Keater is the lucky boy to whom Bobby Lewis announced her engagement the other evening at the Alfa Chi house, and vivacious brunette Car olyn Wright of AOPi is mighty happy now that she’s pinned to Chi Psi Bob McKenzie. Also hearts and flowers to Delta Zeta Helen Deardorff who is v/earing Merv Hanskin’s Theta Chi pin, and rumor has it that Susan Campbell’s Shirley Smouse is sporting a remarkable hunk of ice from the “boy back home.” This week’s cartons of Chester fields go to Liz “I got Hit with an Elbow in Vollyball” Gilmore so that she can envelop herself in smoke to hide that shiner, and to Fran Thorn who hasn’t a black eye, but needs the cigarettes any way. Stop by the Side and John will give them to you. Kappa Sig Dick Morrison, the Porterville flash, has been dividing his time between frosh football and phone conversation!?'syith DG pledge Ruth Mihnos. Kappa Kay Becker and Kappa Sig Jack Don ald seem to have mended their re cent disagreements. Alfafie Mari yln Moore and Fiji Dick Rand all seem to make an interesting couple of late while Alfa Xi Delta naien acmweii was wim ±5in "ue Beard” Rooney at the Wiskerino. Belated congrats to Alfafie De dee dePichon who is pinned to Jim, of Duck fame, McClintock, Chi Psi. Also a steady twosome around the campus are Delta Zeta Bobbie Eversoul and Sigma Chi Bill Maple'thrope. The Chi O ‘‘No Stars” and the Sig Eps have a new pitch for a forthcoming Halloween party to morrow night. The group will gather at the ice area for a hazard ous game of “Broom Ball’ which will be played with a football and brooms on ice skates. The public is invited for a few laughs. The very attractive Joan LaRue, recent Homecoming hostess can didate, has been dividing her time between a Sigma Nu and a Beta. And Kappa pledge Emily West and Kappa Sig Abe Johnson have been together. It isn’t the least bit funny, but the Thetas are practically holding their house meetings at the in firmary. Barbara Patterson has been released so she can go home and recover from a case of pneu monia, but Gloria “Grendell” Gren fell is still recooping after a 14 day visit. Mary Ann Miller and Hazel Leonard have caught the bug too. Nomination of the week goes to Chi O Kay Snyder, prominent member of the art school, as “Miss Sure Cure For the Hiccups.” Happy Halloween, and don’t soap too many windows. — Pd. Adv.
