Campos (Author of “/ Hu* a Tetn-agr Dwarf', "Thr Many Lows of Doliie Gillis", tic.) THE CURSE OF THE CAMPUS: NO. 2 As was pointed put last week, one would tliink that with all the progress we have made in the education game, something might have been done by now about roommate-. But no. The roommate picture has not brightened one bit since Ethan Goodpimple founded the first American college. (Contrary to popular l>elief, Harvard was not the first. Mr. Goodpimple start ad his institution some 75 years earlier. And quite an institution it was, let me tell you! Mr. Goodpimple built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry, and tanning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 102,000. Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin motto ( .11 A Ml SSI—‘‘Watch out for moose.’’ The student union contained a bowling alley, a clock, and a 16-cliair barber shop. (It was this last feature—the harber shop—that, alas, brought Mr. Goodpimple’s college to an early end. The student body, lieing drawn from the nearby countryside, was composed chiefly of I’equots and Iroquois who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They braid their hair instead of cutting it, and as for shaving, they don’t. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle by name, grew so depressed staring all the time at 16 empty chairs that one duy his mind finally gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust. Tliis later became known as Pickett’s Charge.) But I digress. AVe were discussing ways for you and your roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly diffi cult but not impossible if you will both Ixmd a bit, give a iittie. I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz, ’08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were not entirely endear ing. Mark you, I didn’t mind so much the gong he struck on the hour or the string of firecrackers he set off on the half-hour. I didn’t even mind his singeing chicken feathers every dusk and daybreak. What I did mind was that he singed them in my hat. To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits either—especially my hobby of collecting water. I had no jars at the time and just had to stack the water any-oid-where. Well sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and me, and they might have gotten actually ugly had we not each happened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading opened his package, paused, smiled shyly at me, and offered me a gift. iiiank you, i saiu. What is it: “Yak blitter,” lie said. “You put it in your hair. In Tilietan we call it gree see kidstuff.” “Well now, that’s mighty friendly,” I said and offered him a gift from my package. “Now you must have one of mine.” “Thank you,” he said. “What is this called?” “Marlboro Cigarettes,” I said and held a match for him. He puffed. “Wow!” he said. “This sure beats chicken feathers!” “Or anything else you could name,” I said, lighting my own Marlboro. And as we sat together and enjoyed that fine flavorful Marlboro tobacco, that pure white Marlboro filter, a glow of good fellowship came over us—a serene conviction that no quarrels exist between men that will not yield to the warmth of honest good will. I am proud to say that Kingading and I re main friends to this day, and we exchange cards each Christmas and each Fourth of July, firecrackers. * >«e;i Muabuwa * * * Wherever you or your roommate may be—on any campus in any city, town, or hamlet in any state of the L'nion—you wilt find \larlboros at your favorite tobacco counter—soft pack or flip top b<tx.

This year’s version of the Oregon Frosh, the most exciting thing to hit Oregon basketball since the jump shot, will take over the spotlight and should more than make up for the absence of its varsity elders. The Ducklings have played five games at home and while winning all five have caught the fancy of those who have seen them in action. At last Oregon has a basketball team that plays the game as if they mean it. They Put 'Em Throuqh Though well-versed in all phases of the game, the most impressive feature of Coach Don Kirsch’s crew is its ability to put the ball through the hoop The Ducklings have, it seems, already done more to wear out the nets in Mac Court than Oregon’s last three varsity teams In compiling a 6-1 season's record, the Ducklings have four times scored more than 90 points, and had their start ing five stayed around, they would probably have gone above 100 just about as often. But by the final horn those starters have, more often than not, been out of the game so long that the official scorer has forgotten their names. The Men They Watch The ballplayer who catches the attention of the fans most often is Jim Barnett, a rangy 6-3 guard and the Ducklings’ number one point-maker. Barnett has been endowed with an exceptionally fine pair of hands, handles the ball like a much smaller man, drives well, and is a better than average outside shot. The cx-All-CIF prepper is the team’s holler guy and, like almost every member of the squad, demon strates so much hustle that some of those who have sect) him play all five home games are still wondering what he looks like when he is standing still. Another member of the team who has caught the eye oi the fans of late is guard Dave Kafoury. This former Cleveland High School standout took over starting chores from guard Rick Potter when Potter was forced out of action a couple of weeks ago with a bruised knee, and has become one of the top scorers on the squad Kafoury’s chief offensive weapon is a long jump shot which has been almost as deadly as income taxes and which the opposition is just about powerless to stop. All year long the Frosh have been billed as preliminary performers—more on the basis of age than of talent—but Friday night they’ll have the show all to themselves. And Friday’s contest might be a good chance for the Ducklings to reach the 100-point plateau which has narrowly eluded them on so many occasions. The Ducklings will be meeting the Sweet Home AAD team and reliable reports indicate that this won’t be their toughest competitor of the year—by a long shot. On the other hand, these same reports caution that it is doubtful that the Frosh will get a shutout either. The Sweet Home team may have trouble hitting the hoop with any consistency, but it seems they do take a lot of shots—almost every time they get the ball. They Don't Know Either An unusual circumstance appeared this week which We are urging you to subscribe to SATURNIA Magazine I because we believe PEACE IS POSSIBLE ! And we think this new monthly publication will help make it possible. Why? Well, we a«l<! it up like t hi*: In the* first plan*, we don’t believe that government expert* in the last 100 sears or no have been successful in bringing about permanent peace, and, the wav we’re going, it doesn't appear we’re headed in that direction now. In the second place, permanent prat «• is not only desirable but essential when we consider the result* of another war or the results of a permanent arms rare. So, we feel that more people would like to get into the search for ways toward rial peace, hut people are busy- they don't have time to read all the dozens of excellent book*, observe the many way* in whirh churches, peace groups, government committees, ami indi viduals an* working actively toward international understanding, and thus be able to evaluate these different ideas. S \TUKNI V Magazine was established to perform this service to review hooks and articles, report activities, and generally keep readers up to date on news regarding the search lor peace. And, in addition, w.* believe that many people should be given the opportunity to tell others about their ideas along this line. We provide the opportunity. To do this job right w#- need subscribers from all areas of society. We want young people, old people, housewives, businessmen, and Joe Doaksety, That’s why we are urging you to subscribe to SATURNIA Magazine today.

In the UFI Poll which came out Tuesday, our neighbors with the big tails from the north were rated ninth in the nation. On the AP Poll which came out the same day, Oregon State not only was not in the top ten, it was not among the 29 teams which received votes. That's right—the Beavers got 42 points on the UPI charts, not one on the AP list. (Continued on (>age 5) ENBAEMER’S BALE Sigma Alpha Epsilon is Mourning the death of Paddy Murphy.
