Homecoming Bondman
WILL OSBORNE and his orchestra, one of the country’s leading
dance hands, will play for tonight’s Homecoming dance at McArthur
Court. Osborne’s group, noted for smooth, danceable music, holds a
record of playing more college proms than any other orchestra.
Faculty Evaluation System
To Appear Twice This Year
The faculty rating plan, an innovation on the Oregon campus, will
be repeated this year. Mortar Board President Marjory Petersen said
the survey'will probably be taken twice this year by service honoraries,
under Mortar Board supervision and direction.
The same forms used last year will be used at the end of winter term
when the first survey is taken. Questions on the forms may be revised
The poll was taken on a volun
tary basis, whereby the professors
requested the service if they
wished the poll taken in their
classes.
Women Eligible
Women, too, are eligible for the
Rotary Foundation Fellowships for
advanced study abroad, it was
learned yesterday from the Gradu
ate School Office.
Previously it was announced
that the fellowships were for men
only. They provide one-year ex
•—pense paid scholarships for study
in the country of one’s choice.
Students interested in applying
should contact Mrs. Jean Brown,
secretary of the Graduate School
today, for an interview appoint
ment.
Opinionaires were distributed in
the classes and the students* an
swered questions pertaining to the
quality of teaching, assignments,
tests, lectures, new developments
and enthusiasm, conduct and stim
ulation of individual work and
opinion.
Results were confidential and
the professors were given the en
velopes still sealed after finals
were finished.
A spot check of teacher reaction
was taken by Emerald reporters in
October, and reactions varied.
Many professors thought the forms
were inadequate and that criti
cisms should be more specific. They
also noted that especially in a
small class, handwriting and other
information given on the sheets
were giveaways on identity.
Flash Carders
To Arrive Early
Men who are sitting in the spe
cial flash card section .at-today’s,
game have been requested to claim
their seats before 1 p.m. Chairman
Jerry Kinersley said that no seats
will be saved after that time, and
that 12:30 would be the best time
to get seats.
Admittance cards have been is
sued to men’s living organizations,
with 12 men from each group join
ing in the card stunts. Men will
wear white shirts and rooters’ lids.
Five stunts are planned for half
time entertainment. Direction
sheets for the stunts will be avail
able at the game.
Radio Workshop
Show 'Goes On'
Pinch hitting in the old the
atrical tradition was a feature of
Thursday’s KOAC Radio Work
shop program.
Troubles began early this
week when student producer
Dick Rayburn learned that his
leading man, Jim Blue, had gone
to the hospital. A search through
the studio revealed no suitable
replacement.
As the final rehearsal neared
its end, and no other leading man
appeared, Robert L. Montgom
ery, instructor in speech pre
pared to perform in his first stu
dent broadcast since his under
graduate days. The cast was
about to leave the studio when
Bob Crites appeared. Having
just heard of Rayburn’s plight,
he was ready to substitute for
the ailing Blue.
Just before the show, Crites
ran through his first rehearsal
with the cast. There were a few
minutes more for him to look
over the script, make a few cor
rections in his presentation, then
the show went oh.
Speech Professors
To Attend Meeting
Five members of the speech de
partment faculty will attend the
eighteenth annual convention of
the Western Speech Association in
San Jose, Calif., Nov. 24, 25, and
26.
Faculty members who will make
the trip are R. C. McCall, head of
the speech department; E. R. Nich
ols Jr., assistant professor; Ken
neth Scott Wood, associate profes
sor; H. W. Robinson, associate pro
fessor; and R. L. Montgomery, in

'Plain Girl' Outdated as Campus Queens
Take Over All Phases Of College Life
By Barbara Jeremiah
Whatever happened to the “plain
girl?’’
Like the wooden Indian, the five
cent glass of beer, and the rouged
knee, she has become passe. Just
as Dr. Scholl’s footpads have re
placed the old-fashioned poultice,
so the beauty queen has replaced
the wallflower. Now every girl
graduate has a right to expect a
diploma and a beauty crown. Why?
Following the Emerald policy of
stimulating student discussion, an
informal poll was made of usually
unreliable sources in the various
departments.
Government department—There
would seem to be a growing dislike
of monopoly with the resulting
spread of the democratic ideal.
_*ffhus, the moonlight beams not only
on the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi but
on Miss Law School Stacks and
Miss Seminar Room.
Business department—The pro
cess is an adjunct of the trend to
ward specialization. So instead of a
Miss Publications Board, we have
a Miss Shackrat and a Miss Piggers’
Guide.
Literature department — The
origins are to be found in ancient.
Webfoot mythology. One spring
term a freshman misread Tenny
son’s lines,
“Call me early, mother. . . .
For I’m to be Queen o’ the May.’’
His exam paper found its way
into the files, and the idea "I’m to
be Queen for a Day” developed.
History department—In the in
stitution of the Campus Queen you
will find strains of the medieval
ideal of the exaltation of woman
hood. In the Middle Ages, woman
was thought to have queenly quali
ties, and history is just now begin
i ning to repeat itself.
Psychology department — Who
can explain anything about wom
en ?
Physiology department — Who
wants to explain anything about
women ?
Athletic department — It’s an
adaptation of a professional foot
ball play. Even when a girl is
brought down in one contest, she
can get up and run again.
But the dramatics department
brought forth perhaps the most
plausible reaspn for the existence
of a Miss Don’t Walk on the Grass
cr a Miss College Side Inn, in J. K.
Stephen’s lines to Shakespeare:
You wrote a line too much, my
sage,
Of seers the first, and first of
sayers;
For only half the world’s a
stage,
And only all the women players.”
Alums, Take Note!
Oregon Ranks Low
In Offspring Polling
uy auzanne uocKeram
Alums, attention please! \ on are letting us down; you are
setting a bad example; you are not having enough children!
In a nation-wide poll dealing with the number of children of 1924
^jul 1939 graduates from college and universities all over the
United States, Oregon ranked mighty low.
I he women lead, it s true, by being seventeenth and eitrh
teenth tor the two years in the
nation. The men appear 97 and
128 on the two lists, but even
they can still improve, accord
ing' to Dr. Clarence ]. Gamble,
director of the Population Ref
erence Bureau of Washington,
D.C., who sent out the ques
tionnaires and ascertained the
results.
Oregon isn’t the only state with
college graduates shirking their
duties to society. Dr. Gamble found
a continuing trend of fewer chil
dren per college graduate being
born throughout the nation. There
is a national deficiency of children
from that class of people, he de
clared.
WOMEN AVERAGE MORE
Feminine graduates in 1924 now
have an average of 1.61 children,
while their male classmates turn
up with a 1.32 average. The ideal
number would be 2.1, Dr. Gamble
said.
A similar ratio is found in re
ports from 1939 graduates, as the
women again lead with 1.40 chil
dren. The men trail with .92.
National results ... for reported
children by 192’4 graduates average
1.26 for women and 1.77 for men
of Oregon womer
passed that mark with their 1.61,
the men fell short with 1.32 chil
dren.
The 1933 results find 1.11 the na
tional average for women grad
uates and 1.37 for men. Again the
women triumph with their 1.40, but
the men should bow their heads in
shame—.92—not even a complete
child per graduate.
FAMILIES COMPARED
The two years are selected for
study to test both supposedly com
plete families of 1924 graduates,
and the still-growing ones of 1939
alums. The present trend is shown
in 1939 results, while the other fur
nishes a finished cycle to study.
This also accounts for the lower
averages of the latter year.
Eighty-three per cent of male
graduates who reported from the
class of '24 were married at some
time, while the women averaged 79
per cent. The men are ahead here!
They stay in the lead in 1939,
also, with 83 per cent marriages for
Oregon men to only 78 per cent for
the women.
National average on marriages
were led by the men of '24, also,
with 96 per cent; followed by the
men of '39 with 91 per cent; with
the women of both years trailing at
73 per cent.
