Test Passe4 By Nine Men Coach Satisfied with Life-Saving Work Nine men successfully passed the American Red Cross life-saving test that was given by Rudolph Fahl, local examiner, on Friday and Satur day in the men’s tank. L. F. Palmer, by making 95 points, was made an examiner. Mr. Fahl has not finished correcting all of the papers and es says on life-saving and he says that, Tj. Stone and R. Fee may have enough points to become examiners. Those who passed the test by mak ing SO points are Tj. Stone, R. Pee, F. Calef, R. Bartlett. H. TTeerdt, R. •Tagger, .T. Smith, Tj. Hoblitt and P. Maxwell. C. Kilgore, TT. Samuels, A. Sinclair and A. Tarlow have taken the first part but were excused until Monday at 4 o’clock for the- second part of the examinations, as they were working. Mr. Fahl expressed himself as well satisfied with the showing that the men made in the test. “The men now realize how much easier it is to save a life with a knowledge of several points on life saving,” he said, “and they realized how little they knew of how to break the different holds. Public Schools Have Play Day Practice Teachers Give Student Review The Woman’s building, with its adjoining grounds, was the scene of a merry, noisy gathering yester day, when .150 children from pub lic schools near Eugene attended the play-day directed by the mem bers of the University playground course. The purpose of such a day was to wind up the work of the season, which has been carried on by the girls who are doing their prac tice teaching in these schools. The districts represented were Spring field, Coburg, Crcswell, University playground and the Eugene district, Santa Clara, Dunn, Lone Pine, and Glenwood. This plan will also ad vertise the playgrounds which are to be kept open this summer on the Patterson, Lincoln and Geary school lots. Tho groups taking places in the competition were: First, Spring field, 86.78; second, Univorsity playground, 811.9; third, Glenwood, 81.3. The events consisted of run ning, throwing and jumping, and for the little people in the kinder garten, first and second grades, there were doll and soldier parades. Dean Dyment Awaits News Letters from Students Are Appreciated At 1801 Highland Place, Berke ley, California, Dean Colin Dyment is entering upon the second stage of the treatment which is to re store him to the old time vigor of his pre-war days. The treatment so far has been extremely severe and has involved a great deal of suffering which has left him very weak. Mrs. Dyment, whose physi cal condition was better than the dean’s, is now able to walk. Dean Dyment is eager for news of the campus. lie enjoys the Kmerald and is appreciative of more personal items, according to word received from California. Al though his condition is gradually improving, he is not yet able to sit up and letters help him grewtly during his long days of discomfort, explained his secretary yesterday. She urged that students us well as faculty members bear this in mind. U- H. S. Play Has Light Plot The performance of Alice Duer Miller's “Come Out of the Kit chen,” staged last night by the senior class of the University high school, was delightful in its spon taniety and swift moving plot. Leading parts were taken by Mae Gerhard as Jane Ellen, and Dick Fields as Burton Crane, the million aire from the north. Both char acters were exceedingly well in terpreted. The character parts of Mrs. Faulkner, interpreted by Au drey Stanfield, and Lester McDon ald," were almost professional in their excellence. To Miss Ethel Wakefield, in structor at the high school and director of the production, is due a great part of the praise for the Co-eds in Barber Shop; Revelation by Mere Man By U. A. K. The shop was empty. I needed ja haircut, so entered, climbed into the chair of the most alert of the row of expectant looking barbers and stated my wants. After examining 'me from both sides, and feeling of |the point with which the back of my lliead is finished, he asked, “You don’t I wear it clipped very high, do you?” ! Then he took the clippers from the hook, and* for several minutes there was not a sound but the hum of the . blades as he deftly trimmed the back of my head. At the front of the shop a girl who ( had just came in was holding a mir ror in one hand while she gave the j barber explicit directions as to just j how she wanted the back of her head shingled. A remark of mine started [ the conversation. \ “Is there any money in bobbing j hair?” “There is if you specialize in it as they are beginning to do in the larger cities,” he said. “Here, they! always come in in pairs or three at ;a time and if a man comes in and sees what appears to be a long wait ing line he walks out, when only a few of them are waiting for haircuts. | |The business is growing. In Port i land many are doing nothing but bobbing, curling, shampooing and I marcelling. It is estimated that al Imost a thousand a week are having j their long hair cut off in Seattle .alone.” I “Have you Seen the latest?” he o-—-—— asked. “It’s called 'the ‘Howdy bob,’ and it’s cut almost as close as yours in back, with a three inch strip in front of the ears, cut with a slight dip. It looks horrible. It has not arrived in Eugene but Seat tle and Portland are falling for it hard.” He decried the fact that co-eds are prone to insist upon the same bar ber every time they enter the shop, even for a neck trim. This is merely a personal whim, he said, and sel dom depends upon the ability of the barber, but rather upon his person ality. “But,” I said, “I have found a vast, difference in barbers. I have had haircuts that came far from be ing satisfactory.” “Yes,” he said, “but you must remember you have a hard head of hair to cut.” This lead to the question as to just what constituted a hard head of hair to cut. “Some hair lies flat and straight while some insists on stick ing out, he answered. “Your hair is fine, and fine hair is always harder to cut than coarse.” This was news to me. I remarked that I knew my hair was fine, as fine as some women’s. “That is where you are mistaken,” he said. “Women have coarser hair than men, although I wouldn't tell them so.” As I rose from the chair I glanced at the glass. He had done a very good job and I felt inclined to tip him but on second thought, remem bering our conversation, I didn’t. -O Just a Professor’s Ideas-" An Observation on Dress University of California—'‘Men take more time with their shaving than women with their make-up,” says Prof. Warner Brown, of the University of California psychology department. “ If you will observe faces closely,” he says, “on the campus or on the street, you will notice that men have taken more time with their ‘make-up’ than have women. The sketchy appear ance of man is deceiving in its plainness. The woman in her cos tume may present a charming pic ture, but the costume will not stand too close inspection. “The well-dressed man, on the other hand, will bo more immacu late in appearance, and will have given more attention to the finer details of dress.

The reason, I believe, is purely a psychological one, and has to do with individual differences. There are many things that enter into the explanation, but I state the fact merely as a truth which I have arrived at after long observation. “I do not believe that there is any historical reason for it. It is true that man in the past was ac customed to robe himself in silks and satins, while woman was con tent to dress in coarse garments. But this was due more or less to custom, and has little bearing upon the subject. One might say that it is simply due to the fact that men are more fussy about their persona 1 appea ranee. ” nock, violinist from the upper classmen, and Alma Laurence, pian ist, from the underclassmen.
