Barrister Inn Boasts Largest Number Of Law Students Under One Roof By Walt Graydon If you want to belong to the most exclusive living organization on the campus and can thrive on a diet of Torts, Agency, and Equity, then wrangle your way in to law school and move into Bar rister Inn. Females, unfortunately, are ex cluded. Barrister Inn, formerly Zeta Hall, boasts the largest group of law students living under one roof on the campus. It’s just about like any other part of John Straub Hall. A front view of the building enables one to peek into certain areas of the rooms disclosing the usual clutter of men's dormitory rooms. Re mote signs of life, such as a well scuffed black shoe with a leg attached, are usually protruding from a window. Supplied With Essentials The lounge is supplied with the essentials of any dorm—a current, well-thumbed copy of Esquire, empty root beer bottles, a salt shaker hiding behind the curtain on the window sill, and a table set up for canasta or bridge. Housed in this building are 20 law students and about two dozen graduate and foreign students. Marriage Rate High Bill Taylor, sixth year law stu dent and counselor at the hall, says, “We would like to have more law students here, but the incom ing class this year was not near ly so large as others in the past.” The original plan to bunk the legal minds together was advanc ed by law students Bob Krause, Dick Bennett, and Bob Myers. Dean Orlando J. Hollis of the School of Law and Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitor ies, conferred and the plan be came a reality in the fall of ’49 when Barrister Inn came into be ing. Little Social Life One may think law students don’t have time for social activi ties. They don’t. The only social function the boys at Barrister Inn participate in directly and sup port without reservation is Law School Weekend. Beginning law students appre ciate this living arrangement. They have the “old legal salts’’ handy to keep them on course when they are thoroughly stymied —the normal condition of new comers during fall term. UO Gets Flag After 74 Years Oregon has an official school flag. After 74 years as a university, Oregon is finally displaying its own official emblem. It’s in the Student Union. According to Dick Williams, director of SU, our flag is the only one of its kind in the Oregon System of Higher Educa tion. It all came about when Wil liams tried to locate a national, state, and school flag to be plac ed in the SU. Going to the state purchasing agent, Williams found out that as long as this school has been in existence, it has never had an official flag. Not wishing the school to be without one any longer, Williams went into a huddle with Presi dent Newburn, and S. Little, dean of the architecture school, early this year, and produced some ideas of what the flag should look like. Ideas for the flag were then given to Merton Lindsey, an art student, who put the ideas down on paper. The drawings were then sent to the Paramount Flag Co., San Francisco, who made the flag. Oregon’s emblem is 4 by 6 feet. The school seal rests in the mid dle of a green background. The flag is trimmed in yellow and green. No wonder women are so suc cessful in machine shops. Think of all the years with kitchen gadgets. r.

Big Festival To Feature Fancy Folk Characters from fairyland will be springing to life in a parade of gigantic balloons in downtown Eu gene Saturday, Nov. 11. The parade will be the biggest Eugene has ever witnessed, ac cording to officials. There will be 30 giant balloons from Giant Balloons Inc. of Newark, N. J., approximately a dozen bands, and perhaps marching units from the ROTC and Veteran’s organiza tions. Eugene is the only Oregon city which has a franchise for this type of parade this year. Only two other west coast cities share the honor, Seattle and Oakland. The parade is similar to the Mardis Gras in New Orleans and Macy’s in New York City and is the first parade of this type in the city’s history. The 30 figures will be held down by 150 Boy Scouts. Most of the balloons are heads of fictional creatures popular to children. Some of them are complete Bodies such as the Griffin from Alice In Wonderland, which is 120 feet long, and a Jack-in-the-box which jumps from 9 to 10 feet .in the air on the slighest provocation. Seattle reported that last year’s parade was seen by the largest crowd in that city’s history, even though it rained during the pa geant. The Eugene parade is sponsored by merchants of the city and sur | rounding area. r CLASSIFIED FOR SALE—'49 Olds 98 Sedan ette. Car is exceptionally clean. Only 9,000 miles.
