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.

Frosh Grab
Spotlight
By JOE BERGER
Emerald Sports Writer
Coach Steve Belko will have his Webfoots down in Berke
ley Friday night to play another one of those schools from
the “Big” Six—the University of California, or something
like that—but things will still be buzzing at Mac Court.
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.

which came out Tuesday, our
neighbors with the big tails from

came out the same day, Oregon
State not only was not in the top
