INCONSISTENCY IN WOMAN Perhaps Ibis because man is more sen sible than woman that he has a keener sense of humor. That is, speaking gen erally. Now for example, dress. Wo have noticed it of late particularly. When the last snowfall came and covered the ground to a depth of eight to twelve inches it was a mass of wet and soggy snow that defied the grentest array of waterproof material to keep the moisture from penetrating to the skin. Yet that snowfall did at least one good thing— demonstrate the inconsistency of woman. On the one hand man put on his high top hoots, woolen socks, heavy clothes and in fact insured his health generally against the fiekle weather by warm dress from head to heel. But woman, fair crea ture, put on her Intest fashion skirl, reaching on the average somewhere about the knee, donned her pretty shoes of white kid or tender calfskin and then, while the snowflakes played a drum tntoo on her flimsy silk stockings, capped Telephone 220 UNIVERSITY BAKERY In a Class by Itself M» COLLARS arc curve cut to fit the slaoukkrs perfectly Cliu-tt.pi'. il'Cvlv A Corliu ‘Xl.skiis the climax l>,v wrapping her head in a great fur and shoved her dainty hands in a muff to match. I!ut ‘tis not for us to criticise. Rather do we smile at the humor of the situa tion and ponder on the following poem clipped from an exchange which seems so apropos.: When every pool in Eden was a mirror That unto Eve her dainty charms pro claimed, . * She went undraped without a single fear or * Thought that she had need to be ashamed. 'Twas only when she’d eaten of the apple. That she became inclined to be a prude, And found that evermore she’d have to grapple With the much debated problem of the nude. Thereafter she devoted her attention, Her time and all her money to her clothes, And that was the beginning of conven tion, And modesty as well, 1 do suppose. Reaction's come about in fashions recent; Now girls conceal so little from the men That it would seem, in name of all that’s decent, Some one ought to pass the apples 'round again.” —Ex.

Who can say that for once Oregon has not its perfect music? The international committee of the Y. M. O. A. is asking the students of the Fniversity to contribute funds toward the assistance of their work in the prison camps of Kurope. The work is worthy and the college men of America have been responding to it in a way of which they may be proud. We are generous at Ore gon. but few of us are rich. Though we may he unable to give as other univer sities have done, we may always hear in mind the widow's mite. /). U. TO INC!

The students of Valparaiso Univer sity, in Indiana, gave a party on the evening of Friday, October 13, the ad mission fee to which was a small sum of money and a hard luck story.

It will be the intention of .hj association to make it possible for any boy or girl in the state, no matter how poor, to attend the University. The per sonnel of the company is constituted en tirely by former students of the Uni.-er sity. Class spirit broke loose at the Univer sity of Kansas to such a degree that the noise made by the students while indulg ing in some impromptu rushes and rallies forced professors to dismiss their class es. The campus was in a state of wild disorder from 9:110 o’clock in the morn ing until noon. The l niversity of Kansas is planning a "parents’ week" for some time during the winter, during which mothers and fath ers of the students will be ''specially wel come to visit the campus and acquaint themselves with modern college life.
