House Dancing Through Red Tape
It was a simple question the Pi Kappa Alpha s asked .
“May we hold our house dance in the Student Union ball
room Dec. 2, and hold it open for all students?
But it set off a flurry of discussions.
The Pi K A’s didn’t first know who to ask, but on Oct. 11,
nearly two months before the dance this Saturday, the house
president asked the Student Union Board. The SUB immedi
ately said: It is up to the Student Affairs Committee to decide
if a house dance may be of all-campus proportions and be held
in the Student Union.
The next stop—the Student Affairs Committee (SAC)—
was Nov. 14. The committee said:
1) House dances cannot be all-campus in nature.
2) Living organizations who have used University build
ings in the past for house dances may continue to do so; but
the Student Union is out of bounds temporarily.
3) Because of the many decisions this committee (SAC)
must make on this problem, no house dances will be held in
the Student Union this term.
4) Further discussion of house dances will be postponed un
til the next meeting, Dec. 12.
None of these decisions have helped the Pi Kappa Alpha’s,
who would like to hold the dance in a place large enough to
fit the occasion—at which the dream girl will be introduced.
The Pi K A’s have a band coming up from California, and cus
tomarily invite many guests to the annual dance.
It is unfortunate that policy concerning house dances in the
Student Union cannot be forthcoming in time for the dance
this Saturday. It is unfortunate students cannot get quicker
answers to questions; unfortunate that they do not always
know the proper way to channel their questions without get
ting enmeshed in red tape.
The Pi K A’s (though this will be little consolation) are the
victims of a new building and a lack of policy; but they are also
the “problem” that has instigated action which will lead to the
setting of a policy. By winter term the policy should be set.
WhiLe the way is not clear for Pi Kappa Alpha, the fraternity
has at least started clearing the path for other houses which

A Block or A Mile—It's Beer
Beaver brothers up north have proved a point. And we wel
come them—with a chuckle—into the “beer mug tempest.”
Now, OSC, you too fall under the axe of the purity people.
Ah ha, so the bottle you hold is not always white.
At the hearing Friday before the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission, a restaurant of novel name—the Chat & Chew—
joined company with Taylor's and the College Side.
This Chaf& Chew place is about two miles from the Ore
gon State College campus, commissioners were told. Taylor s
and the Side are a block from the Oregon green.
Beer licenses of all three places have been suspended for 15
days.
So proximity to the campus has no bearing on the sale of
beer to minors. And this seems to be the basic argument blow
ing the tempest.
Permit us to quote Commissioner Reed who said, "Yes, and
over there (OSC), they take it out by the half case and drink
it on the way home.”
So rule out proximity. Thank you, Oregon State, for prov
ing ti point and again emphasizing the need for enforcement of
enforceable laws.

The
Word
By
Stan TurnbuH
Are you hungry for love? Do
you crave the affection and
companionship of a shapely,
sweet and lovabje girl ? Huh ?
Well don’t come running to us
with your stupid troubles, gut
if you’re really' deseprate—you
should live this long—we’ve re
ceived a form letter from an
organization that modestly ad
mits it’s “America’s finest club
for personalized introductions.”
It’s yours for the asking; frank
ly the thing sort of embarrasses
us.
But don’t get the idea it’s not
a, red-hot organization. Perhaps
you’d like to meet Mary, age
22, “5 feet tall, 1S5 pounds (these
gals all seem inclined to a little
excess poundage), beautiful
brown hair and sparkling brown
eyes. Enjoys outdoor sports.”
(Plays defensive end for the Los
Angeles Bams, no doubt).
Possibly you’d like to meet
Mrs. R. R., “Texas widow, income
$6,000 yearly. . .owns 1950 Mer
cury. . .has savings. . .very lone
some.” What a state of affairs!
We didn’t realize how bad off
we were until we read on. . ,
“They (these thousands of ex
quisite creatures) share one thing
in common with YOU. They are
VERY LONELY and VERY
ANXIOUS to meet a sincere,
honest man. . .WHAT ARE YOU
WAITING FOR?” (They keep
coming up with these tough
questions).
And you don’t go into this
thing blind. Not at all. Comes
enclosed an illustrated “album
of beauty,” no less. There’s little
Leona, coyly sucking her index
finder; Pauline decked out in.
her cap and gown (educated,
too!); Ethel. . .but why go on?
This is the kind of offer you
can’t afford not to overlook. . .
We don’t know where this darn
thing came from. Rather sus
pect one of our gay little friends
has been exercising his sense of
humor—it came addressed to us,
“Emerald Shack, Univ. of .Ore
gon, Eugene, Oreg.” Someone
knows too much.
We’ll probably spend the rest
of our life kicking us around
convenient blocks, but we’re
passing up this chance of a life
time.
The Second Cup
The liberal in politics has al
ways been an enviable fellow with
an eye to the future, but not all
opinions of him are alike.
A gentleman ... is liberal in
his attainments, opinions, prac
tices and concessions. He asks for
himself no more than he is willing
to concede to others—Cooper.
Liberalism is trust of the peo
ple tempered by prudence; con
servatism, distrust of the people
tempered by fear—Gladstone.
I expect to pass through this
world but once. Any good there
fore that I can do, or any kind
ness that I can show to any fel
low creature, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for
I shall not pass this way again—
Anonymous.
It is a misery to be born, a pain
to live, a trouble to die—St. Ber
nard of Clairvaux.
Rundown on Courses
V.
Winter Term Tip-Sheet
“What’s a good one (or two or three) hour course to fill out my win
ter term schedule?”
That’s a standard question in these days when registration is caus
ing more consternation than pre-final exam jitters.
Below, the Daily Emerald attempts to give some of the answers.
Some of the courses are outstanding for their lecturers or for their
subject matter, or both.
Of course, the list doesn’t pretend to be complete. The University
offers many other courses and professors—some of which are far bet
ter than these, some of which are far worse.
We’re only offering a tip or two picked up around the quad. Hope it
helps.

COMMENT
Tremendously worthwhile and
enjoyable. Penetrating.
Meets five times but no outside
work. Practical, valuable.
Some who have taken the
course say the student profits
from it, no matter what his ma
jor interests.
Class performs regular shows.
Fun and interesting.
Down-to-earth discussions on
what you may soon need to kjjjjiw.
Of special interest now with
Korea war. Dull always keeps
course up to date. Plenty of
note taking but highly interest
ing and worthwhile.
First time offered. In Student
Union. Save money, have fun,
learn. Better hurry to sign up,
though.
Need equipment. If you like
rugged outdoors, this is it.
Great. More elementary than
most science courses. Ebbig
hausen is highly interesting
•and keeps course ticking. Ex
cellent for non-physics ma
jor. Covers several sciences.
Here’s something that’s really
practical. Equipment fee high.
Considerable work. Sharpens
your taste for drama, movies.
Robinson does fine job with
course.
One-hour course in three-term
sequence. Landros very good.
Course covers Troy, Thebes,
Golden Fleece.
Emphasis on foreign policies
this term. Nagy lends great
deal of knowledge to course.
Interesting.
