Women Must Plan Mixers;
Frear Deplores Situation
By Sam Frear
Emerald Columnist
It must be women who plan
mixer dances here as Oregon. A
man wouldn't have the guts. In
any part of the country these ill
named functions consistently of
fer one striking similarity — a
representation of dancers and
would-be dancers at an approxi
mate ratio of twenty men to
every woman.
Any rea-Diooa
ed Ame r i c a n
boy, having at
tended at least
one hundred of
these dances in
his pre-college
days, could nev
er summon the
courage to plan
one himself.
Mixer Dances
have been a
popular institution at this insti
tution for a number of years.
Their frequency attests to their
popularity, there being six sched
uled for this wet and dismal
term. Also, one additional fruit
juice squeeze thrown in for
twenty cents a head.
Trusting in the repetition of
such dances in the many years
ahead, I humbly offer my advice
on: The Proper Procedure for
Students Attending Fishbowl
Mixers.
First, it should be noted that
since these dances are “no-date”
affairs, it is wise for every man
to bring a girl with him. This
custom is socially accepted. And
since mixing means to associate,
it is advisable for every couple
to know another couple at the
dance to sit with. This is handy
for gossiping, for bridge playing
and is a sure way to hold'claim
on the scarce tables in case one
couple decides to dance.
Women are generally discour
age d from attending mixer
dances without a male escort. It
is contrary to feminine etiquette
to advertise the fact of being
desparate for male attention.
If there be any unaccompan
ied women, they should always
sit in a dark and secluded cor
ner where they will be virtual
ly safe from masculine inter
ference. Maneuverability in the
Fishbowl is atrocious and few
men have the inspiration to
squirm through the mumble
jumble of chairs, tables and
human beings. If women are
approached, it is easy enough
to dismiss the eager male with
the remark, “I’m waiting for
someone.”
All stag men at mixer dances
should stand in little mobs in
front of the doorways, and es
pecialt; .n front of the soda
founta In these positions you
can ad< itely tie up traffic and
in ad< .ion have an excellent
sightse x post. After thirty
minute of such procedure you
will be mspicuous^ enough that
no woi i would dance with you
if your iddy eggs you into ask
ing.
Stand; rd procedure has it that
no one rrives at these dances
until a east one hour before it
starts. 'Ills allows time for the
anxiou'- aive and eager to get
discouraged and go home. This
makes 1; r more tables. But don’t
expect ‘o find one even then,
for some reason people come to
these things.
Oregon Accepts
WUS Invitation

drive which has been held on cam
pus in the past
WUS hopes to have the educa
tional project completed in the
saring, with a preliminary report
from the 30 participating schools
to be made in April. About 20 of
the schools are now active in the
project, Kitchen said
Findings Evaluated
At the end of the project, those
working on the experiment, will
evaluate the findings of the ques
tionnaire and the discussion
groups. These findings wall then
be incorporated with those from
other schools, Kitchen said.
The representatives at the meet
ing decided an executive commit
tee should be set up to work on
the administrative details. It was
also decided the experiment
should have both a student and
faculty chairman. There will also
be a student chairman for each
of the three projects. They will be
helped by a faculty adviser to each
group.
Tom Wrightson, ASUO presi
dent, and Nan Mimnaugh, junior
in English, will contact campus
organizations to select members
of the committee.
The committee will meet next
Tuesday at 4 p. m. in the Student
Union.

Druggists Five
Bag Ducklings
The Oregon Frosh took a 70
49 whipping at the hands of Ev
erybody’s Drug in the prelim to
the Tuesday night varsity game.
After a rather desultory first
stanza that ended 12-12, Every
body’s Drug went to town and
swamped the Frosh, 31-21 at tho
half. The Frosh sank only one
field goal in the second period.
The Frosh showed some life in
the third quarter, but Everybody's
Drug simply kept pace with them
to their lead. After the frosh had
cut the lead to three points, tho
Eugene team went to work with
a frenzy and in 43 seconds blister
ed three through the hoop to Ice
the game.
Paul Sours was, as usual, the
high point man of the evening as
he collected 15 markers. He was
closely followed by Bob Hazel
with 14 and Doug Talbot with 13
