Ducks Lead Busy Activity Lite;
Here's the Straight Dope for Pop
By MARJORY BUSH
Today Dad is top man at Ore
gon, with all activities planned just
for him. Dad is having a chance to
see the campus in action—the new
buildings, a student-arranged
luncheon and tour, and the Ore
gon-Washing ton basketball game.
However, throughout the year
the U. of O. is busy, and in case
Dad would like to know' what goes
on at school the other nine months,
this should give some answers.
Major Events
Two major events of the year
arc Homecoming during fall term,
and Junior Weekend spring term.
Homecoming has just about every
thing in the books, with alumni
and friends being welcomed with
the noise parade, frosh bonfire,
sign contest, dance, and big foot
ball game.
Junior Weekend, held in May,
typifies the campus in the longed
for spring. Highlights are the
float parade, Junior Prom, all
campus sing, luncheon, and frosh
soph tug-of-war.
The campus is kept buzzing with
games, school and house dances,

Fun—And Work
It’s easy to see what a tremen
dous amount of fun—and work,
college can be. It takes organiza
tion, throughout the school, classes
and clubs to produce this program
of wide-scale events.
University and class officers
have much of this responsibility.
The executive council of the
ASUO, representing the two po
litical parties at Oregon, the As
sociated Greek Students and the
United Student’s Association,
tackles the problems of University
scope. *
Council Duties
Included here are: directing the
student traffic court started last
fall, studying such problems as the
development of the Millrace, fac
ulty rating program, and effective
use of the student union.
Class affairs, such as the Sopho
more Whiskerino, Junior Week
end, and Senior Ball are supervised
by class officers.
Working under all are the end
less committees which actually get
the job done—writing invitations,
decorating, cleaning-up.
But officers and committees
would often be lost without the
service organizations on the cam
pus. Among these are Phi Theta
Upsilon and Kwaraa, junior and
sophomore women’s honoraries,
that help with everything from
registering for Dads' Day to mov
ing rushees during rush week.
Sophomore men’s honorary, Skull
and Dagger, and Druids, for jun
ior men, also perform various serv
ices for the University.
Publications
Helping to co-ordinate the cam
pus is the Oregon Daily Emerald,
published five times per week by
the ASUO. The other chief campus
publication, The Oregana, pictures
life at Oregon during the year in
its annual publication. Especially
for the alumni is the magazine Old
Oregon, published monthly.
As Dad can see, all these activi
ties, plus classes and study hours,
produce some mighty busy Ducks.
Pianist to Give

Urban grabbed a lay-in shot to put
Oregon in the clear.
From there on in, with the help
of the two minute rule, the Ducks
went into their final 57-49 win.
Husky Attacks Stilled
In the first half, when Warren’s
collapsing-man-to-man defense
stopped the usual Washington of
fense which features all the play
from the guards, McClarney tried
two other forms of attack.
But Honest John’s defense, on
which he drilled his men all week,
stopped every mode of Washington
scoring punch. That, plus the red
hot ability of the Ducks to hit the
hemp, and their power under the
backboards, spelled victory.
The two clubs meet again tonight
in McArthur Court at 8 o’clock.

planned for you that we
know you’ll have fun.
