DUCKTRACKS
By Jim Mendenhall
Intramural Editor
After a long and not very eventful season, volleyball finally
nears the end of its rope. With champions already decided in sev
eral leagues, winners of all circuits but one will have made them
selves know'll after this afternoon’s contests.
In the “A” division, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma
Chi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon have already
succeeded in nailing down the flags in their respective leagues.
In leagues Five and One, where winners are not yet decided, we
choose to opine that Beta Theta Pi and Minturn will easily cinch
the titles.
Three Flags Undecided
Only three flags are on the auction block in the “B" division.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon in League One, Minturn in Two and Chi
Psi in Five appear to have the inside tracks to the as yet unset
tled circuit championships. Phi Kappa Psi, Lambda Chi Alpha,
Delta Tau Delta, and Beta Theta Pi have already annexed titles
in the junior division.
If predictions run true to form, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Min
turn Hall should fatten their cumulative teams scores after the
volleyball playoffs. Both organizations will probably have strong
entries in the “A” and “B” divisions.
y Too Many Forfeits
^ As we see it, the only black mark against the volleyball sea
son this past few weeks has been the large number of forfeits.
Particularly noticeable is the large number of forfeits chalked up
against teams from Straub Hall and the Vet’s Dorm. At least 80
per cent of the defaults has come from these two locations. The
only excuse ofr this situation as it appears to us is that the size
of these living groups causes a difficulty for the athletic managers
in contracting players.
Fall term rushing rules specify that every freshman who
pledges a fraternity this year must give his full loyalty to the dor
mitory in intramural athletics. Will freshmen who pledge fra
ternities abide by this regulation? There are no actual means of
enforcing this law and, as we see it. only the participating fresh
men can enforce it.
Most fraternities, however, will probably form a higher opin
ion of their pledges if a little rah rah spirit is exhibited for old
Stan Ray, Alpha, and Minturn halls. This demonstration will al
low' the fraternity members to determine the amount of loyalty
they w'ill receive when these freshmen become sophomores and
move into their houses.
Help Wanted
The question of how' to select an all star volleyball team has
kept us tossing around our bunk until the w'ee hours of the, morn
ing. We have finally come upon the idea of letting team captains
pick three players who they feel are eligible for all-star recogni
tion. If any team captains have any comments to make on this
idea or have any suggestions which they feel are better, we would
appreciate all contributions. t

Army Renews
Call For Men
WASHINGTON—UP)—The Army
today announced a call for 40,000
draftees in January.
The new call brings the total
Army request to 250,000 since the
butbreak of the war in Korea.
The September and October
draft requests were for 50,000 men
in each month. The November
figure mounted to 70,000 and fell
to 40,000 for December.
All men brought into the ser
vice through the selective service
system to date have gone to the
Army. The Navy and Air Force
continue to depend upon volun
teers to build up their manpower.
The Army said the principal
reason that the draft call in Jan
uary was held to 40,000 was the
lack of space and facilities in ex
isting training camps.
Most of the 210,000 draftees
that will have been inducted by
the end of December will still be
in camp early next year, as draf
tees receive four months of basic
training.
University of Oregon officials
said Tuesday that a student, upon
receiving induction notice, should
contact his local board and re
quest postponement of induction
until the end of the school year.
The registrar’s office upon request
will send a letter to the board
certifying the student is enrolled
as a full time student in the Uni
versity.
Club Chooses
French Movie
“M Vincent,” French movie, the
next selection of the Foreign
Movie Club, will show Thursday
through Saturday at the May
flower. The movie has English
subtitles.
Widely acclaimed, both here and
abroad, the film tells of the life
of St. Vincent de Paul, who spon
sored a social revolution to help
the condition of the hard-working
peasants and those who suffered
from war.
The film, according to R. L. Pi
card, professor of romance langu
ages, is a very good picture of
life during the Thirty Year’s War.
Pierre Fresnay, who plays the
title role, has won the French
Academy Award. The film itself
has won the Grand Prix du Cine
ma Francais, the Grand Prix at
the International Film Festival in
Venice, and the Grand Prix de la
Presse Beige.
Spanish Club Elects
Anne Insell Prexy
Anne Insell, senior in foreign
languages, was elected president
of the Spanish Club at their first
meeting Monday at the SU.
Diana White, sophomore in libe
ral arts, and Toinette Rosenburg,
senior in English, are vice-presi
dent and secretary, respectively.
Miss Margaret McGee, who is
connected with the U. S. State De
partment in Peru, spoke unofficial
ly on the life and customs in that
country.
Plans were made for a charla
or tertulia (“chat”) at 4 p.m. Fri
day at the College Side. The com
ing foreign language fiesta was
also discussed.
• We always hear about the ab
sent minded professors; but sel
dom about the absent minded stu
dents, of which there seem to be
plenty when they are suddenly
confronted with a pop quiz.
There are more squirrels on the
Oregon campus than any other
place; About 5,000 to be exact.
Reporter Can't See Wingtips
So Concentrates on Stewardess
(lt,d. Note: The following ob
servations about air travel come
as a result of a plane trip by the
author to Miami Beach, Fla., to
attend a national convention fo
Sigma Delta Chi, National pro
fessional journalism fraternity.)
By Ken Metzler
Probably the nicest thing about
air travel is the stewardess. This
reporter is chartering a plane to
Directors to Read
French Play in SU
A French play, “The Enchanted,”
will be read at 7:30 tonight in the
Browsing Room, located in the Stu
dent Union.
Horace W. Robinson, associate
professor of speech and director of
the University Theater, will read
the play. Discussion will be led by
F. M. Comellack, associate profes
sor of classical languages.
In the play, written by Jean Gira
doux, a young Schoolteacher named
Isobel becomes bored with conven
tion and thinks that the dead might
teach her the ideals she should live
and die by.
As she wanders in a forest, she
meets what she believes is the ghost
of a handsome young man who kill
ed his wife and his wife's lover,
then presumably committed sui
cide.
With his play, Giradoux comes to
grips with the meaning of life and
death, with what men do and should
do, with what they should live and
die by, and displays the conflict be
tween skeptic and believer, realist
and romanticist, scientist and mys
tic.
Oregana Payment
Deadline Today
Today is the deadline for Ore
gana space payments by living
organizations, clubs, and honor
aries, Bob Schooling, business
manager, stated.
Payments must be made be
tween 3 and 5 p.m. today.
Most organizations have paid
for their space, but there are a few
groups who have not turned in
their checks, Schooling explained,
Tierra Del Fuego or some out of
the way place just to be alone with
the lovely stewardess.
Here s a tip to male passengers:
The old “this-is-my-first-time-up
and - I’m - scared - to - death” lift®
works very well. While the stew
ardess sits by you and tells you
how safe flying really is, you look
deep into her eyes or something—
and from this point the rest is up
to you.
Inconvenient Coffee
Coffee on an airliner is always
served at the most inconvenient
time. Coffee stains still can ho
seen on the ceiling of airliner No.
N9867—the. result of rough weatft
er over the state of Washington.
It ain’t true what they say about
seeing so much, of the country
while flying. Couldn’t even see
the wingtips of the plane I was in.
Are We - on Fire ?
Plane’s captain came out every
now and then to explain to Mh
anxious passenger that, no, the
plane isn’t burning up, those Me
exhaust flames.
He and the stewardess hnU
more than the usual amount ASH
comforting to do on my particUlht
flight. We took off as headlined
in the Portland papers read, "NW
Airliner Unreported.”
The elderly lady sitting behind
me in the plane shook her heMl
and said, “We’ve all got to go
sometime.”
