A New Skill
Learned Here
By Ken Metzler
It’s all a matter of know how,
according- to “Old Dawgs” on the
Campus who have spent years per
fecting the technique of circum
navigating campus mud puddles.
But it presented a perplexing
problem last week to freshmen
who encountered, for the first
time, the now famous Taylor’s
Lake at 13th and Kincaid, and the
newer “SU special” at 13th and
University streets.
And, like lots of other things,
you can blame this on the weather.
Anyhow, there are two main
ways of getting across the ob
stacles:
You can jump across. But you
must always take the opposing
forces of gravitation into consid
eration. A mis-calculation may
spell disaster.
Or you can go around. Care
ful on this one, because what
seems to be dry land (compara
tively speaking) may be only a
ui’,|que trap of mushy mud.
One girl on campus had her
own solution. Wearing white rub
ber boots, she merely plowed
through the mud puddles.
Coffee Hour Today
Cosmopolitan Club will sponsor
a coffee hour at 4 p.m. today at
Wesley House on Kincaid Street.
A calendar of future events will
be presented to members.
Started in the spring of 1950, the
Cosmopolitan Club is a social
group organized for the purpose
rf meeting and knowing students
Df other nations.

Social Life Rolls
For UO Students
In Spite of Rain
By Larry Hobart
The rain may hurt the rhubarb,
but it hasn’t affected the social
life of the hardy University stu
dent !
Braving up under the vile at
tack of the elements in true Ore
gonian fashion, University of Ore
gon socialities have continued to
carry on a vigorous social life.
When asked, “How has the rain
affected your social life?” the ma
jority of those polled responded
with an answer defying the ef
forts of the weatherman to halt the
popular practice of dating.
Bob Jones—freshman in liberal
arts—“It makes it bad walking,
that’s for sure.”
Dorothy Collier—senior in philo
sophy—*Tt hasn’t affect my social
life a single bit. After you’ve been
here for four years, it doesn’t both
er you.”
Mary Lou Gooding—freshman in
liberal arts—“Rain doesn’t hamp
er my social life any!”
Joan Manning—junior in Eng
lish—“It’s all washed up.”
Martin Hankinson—freshman in
pre-law—“It doesn’t bother me be
cause I don’t have any social life
anyway.”
Gladys Sergent—junior in jour
nalism—“The rain hasn’t hurt my
social life, but it has sure dampen
ed me. Being from California, I’d
give anything for a little of their
famed sunshine.”
Jim Bagby—freshman in liberal
arts—“Rain, snow, sleet, or shine,
my social life goes on.”
Celia Walker—senior in psycho
logy—“The rain has driven my
social life indoors.”
Claude Stephens—graduate stu
dent in English—“Rain is the least
of my worries. No effect.”

Old Birds Receive
Fail Cleaning
Feathers and dust flew from the
stuffed birds in the Condon Hall
Natural Hall History Museum Wed
nesday afternoon. They are being
cleaned by J. Arnold ShotweU,
preparator for the museum.
Using anair hose to dust them
with, and a sprayer full of DDT,
he is giving the stuffed hawks and
eagles their annual cleaning. They
have stood up under it pretty
well, too, considering most of them
are almost 50 years old, he said.
