+ EMERALD EDITORIALS + If You Have The Money— A real entertainment treat is in store for the large crowd expected to attend the Ore gon club’s variety show in McArthur court Saturday night. Seldom anywhere, especial ly in the Northwest, does such an array of performers appear in one show. An added feature for fans who are some what reluctant to pay prices up to $3.50 is that profits will go for a good cause: money made on the show will go towards a fund to help lure prospective athletes to Oregon. In trying to bring future athletes to the campus, the athletic department runs into Pacific Coast conference rules that call such activities “illegal recruiting.” But the PCC does approve of organizations like the Ore gon club which raise money to equip their alma maters with more athletic talent. Thus all profits will be used to finance the trans portation and entertainment on campus of future athletic stars. The show is advertised as having $100,000 worth of talent. Apparently this is the amount this group would make per week since the Ritz Brothers were receiving $25. 000 a week recently for their comedy antics at the fabulous Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas. Connie Haines is one of the top female vocal ists in thecoifntrv, and the Hoozier Hotshots, those masters of homemade music and inter nationally famous, are a show in the’mselves. With this much talent on tap. it must have cost the Oregon club plenty. The^ rates are therefore high. $eats as low as $K50are avail able, but it is hard to appreciate stage acts when one is sitting high in the stratosphere of the Mac Court balconies. The high prices may keep away many students, who have already gone through a hectic week of paying out fees for countless causes like rushing, tuition and books. And we also believe the scheduling could have been better. This show is supposed to bene fit the University in the long run, but why hold it on a date when a free all-school dance has been planned as a climax to Orientation week ? We sincerely Lope that enough people come and enough profit is made so the show can be pointed to as having been a real bene fit to its purpose. Certainly the show is worth the price of admission—if you have it. (J.C.) Iwo-ror-Une Well, freshmen, you’ve been at Oregon for almost a full week and by now should be getting at least a little better acquainted with college life. Naturally, a little confusion about certain things will remain an obstacle for a while longer, but on the whole you are pretty well oriented. Saturday night's “Hello Dance" will mark the end of your colossal orientation week activities and will also set the stage for the start of a much more important part of the college program, Monday’s classes. No doubt in your first week as a Duck you have begun to get the idea that, besides the confusion of registration, college life is one big bundle of fun. No Mom or Dad to put any limitations on what you do, nothing in par ticular to do during your spare time but loaf, um boy, what could be better? But after Monday you will find everything a little bit different. Of course it will still seem pretty nice. College classes are not like those you had in high school when it was the same routine each day. In college you will find that, at least on a couple days a week, you will have a relatively light schedule and plenty of free time. Although many of you may not realize it yet, what you do with those free minutes, hours or days is going to make a big difference in just how well you fare in college. The first big mistake that many freshmen make is in taking their classes too lightly. In high school you did little, if any, outside studying for your courses. In college it’s dif ?, . 4 ' I # ? » i ferent. You are going to have to put in at least some outside studying to get the true value out of the course and to he able to pass the subject and final exams which will be given in the individual courses. Somewhere in one of the many manuals that float around on the campus it specifically states that every student should put in two hours of outside study for every hour spent in the classroom. We might as well be frank about it. It is a rare student indeed who truly follows this rule. On the other hand, it is also a rare student, doing very well in col lege. who doesn't put in some outside work on his or her courses. The first question that comes to mind is. “If hardly anyone follows this two-for-one suggestion, why i> it even mentioned?” Well, freshmen, believe it or not. it is mostly for you. 'Phe suggestion is made in hopes that it will be an ;ud in getting you started on the right foot academically. If you stop and think about it for a minute, we think you will agree with us that the rule is rather meaningless. It doesn’t take long to figure out that, because of the differences in individual intelligences, what one person can accomplish in 15 minutes it w ill take an other two hours to do and still another slower person three or four hours. $q, where does that leave you a- a freshman starting out? We will be the fir-t to admit that it rather leaves you in the dark. The only way for von to find out just how long it takes you to finish the manual-stated two hours of work is to try it. It shouldn't take you more than half of your first term in school to figure it out. You will soon see whether you are fast, just aver age or slow in getting your work done. Then you will know how much time you will have to devote to studying. Upperclassmen will probably laugh at us for suggesting this, but w e are going to any way. Why not try the two-for-one formula for a couple.of weeks, see how it works out, then set your own study schedule. One thing we can guarantee you : if you start out using the "two-for-one" you are just about certain to get off to a good -tart as tar as your classes are concerned.—(II. R.j Two Weeks While tin’s was Orientation week on the Oregon campbs, another week. Constitution week, received more attention throughout the nation. Somehow, the two weeks belong together, however coincidental it may be, for each marks a beginning long planned, with an eye to the future. Plans for Orientation week go on all year, with a final flurry at the end of spring term and again late in the summer. Plans for the constitution of our country were made for years before the convention of delegates adopted it according to the February 1787 resolution of the congress of the confed eration on September 17, 1787. It did not take effect, however, until March 4, 1789, when it had been ratified by the conventions of sev eral states. In 1959, the graduation year for most of those going through this year’s Orientation week, the constitution will be 170 years old— nearly a century older than the University itself. F'or 166 years now’, students have been learning “We, the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union . . For over a century and a half they have en joyed the free climate of a democratic gov ernment, with a guarantee of freedom of speech for the erudite and the unlearned alike. The preservation of these rights is the in dividual responsibility of each citizen, more particularly, of each student. We must main tain and preserve for the generations yet to come the great American heritage of indi vidual liberty, national security and inde pendence.—(S.R.) ; i ■‘ U i I i u H ; f m Rush Week? -UrrF9**.'

Rush week, that maze of hand shakes and fraternity talk, is rap idly approaching. To the fresh man man, this could be one of the most significant weeks of his life. He’ll find that the choice of a fraternity initiates a lifelong obligation. To join ? Not to join ? What to join ? This is probably the first big decision many col lege freshmen make in their life. Well, what about the many questions the freshman will have concerning Kush week. For instance, why choose a fra ternity? Fraternities offer the best in college group living. College men have the opportun ity to live, play and study to gether. They learn the art of getting along... of giving and taking. Out of these fraternity associations develop rich, life long friendships. What is Rush week ? This is the week that, rushees (freshman men) get acquainted with the Oregon fraternities. Rushees will sign up to visit different fraterni ties of their choice. While going through Rush week, rushees must visit at least three different hous es, but it is to their advantage to visit as many houses as possible. Rush week officially starts with the Inter-fraternity council rush assembly Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Union ballroom. The entire Rush week sign-up and date precedure will be discussed and any and all questions will be answered. Monday will be sign-up
