Kor the Smart, Smarter, Smartest
And the Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest
For the past several days a curious test has been passing
around the Journalism building. Since it measures informa
tion and not intelligence all may subject themselves without
fear of exposing glaring defects of the bram.
This is the type of a test that Thomas A. Edison would
glory in, since the encyclopedists would achieve perfect scores.
Thomas Alva, it will be recalled, has little patience with the
college man and his abilities, and favors information tests as
a means of determining fitness for most types of work.
'In the test that follows, Dean Eric W. Allen of the school
of journalism has carried off high honors so tar with o4 out o
60 correct answers. Sol Abramson, managing editor of the
Emerald, is high student with 51 correct. Hal Kirk, associate
editor of the Emerald, crashed through with 4o correct. Your
humble editor tags along with the dumber doras with a 38 to
his discredit. The lowest record so far is 17 correct.
Operation of the test so far is most simple. Just check the
word on the right that is associated with the list on the left.
For the answers, consult the dictionary. All except No. 26,
which must be answered by some man of science lhe Emerald
will be delighted to publish any new records, lhe journalism
department, incidentally, will wager money that no one can
beat Sol Abramson.

Advertising Awards
To be Given to Men
Frank Loggan and Wayne Le
land, seniors in the school of jour
nalism, will be presented with scho
larships which they won for work
ing advertising, by the Portland
Advertising Club on March 24. The
other members of Alpha Delta Pig- j
ms, honorary advertising fratern- j
ity, will attend the meeting in Port- j
land on that date, when they will
put on a program for the Portland
order.
The program given by the local
club proved so popular with the
Portland advertisers last year, that
they have suggested that this bo
made an annual affair. As many
of the members as can attend will
do so.
Speeches will be made by James
Leake, president of Alpha Delta
Sigma, and some of tho faculty
members. The University male quar
tet will furnish a part of the pro

Here is an artist’s conception
of the professor’s hand. Time
spent winning over a professor
is time well spent. It is well
to begin early in the term and
keep it up as long as necessary,
which is usually up to and in
cluding examinations. Give him
a complete history of you and
your family as this will delight
and interest him greatly. Tell
him about your enviable record
in high school and what diffi
culties you are meeting in col
. lege as compared to the more
“sheltered” prep school. Find
what universities -the (profes
sor attended and then tell him
about one of your high school
instructors who used to go to
the same place, being careful
not to have the years coincide.
Take magazines to class wheth
er they pertain to the lesson
very much or not and always go
to his office before class with
some question so he will see
how interested you are in his
course. Bring up similar ques
tions during the recitation even
if they do tend to throw him
off the subject. If you haven’t,
the lesson, frankly tell him how
you are subject to violent head
aches. You must always bear in
mind that he has a personal
interest in you.
Result: A flunk in the course.

Can’t very well be told.

Good stuff, Gertie. We agree
with you. And now you can come
to our party!
Speaking of the party. Bee
Hardin just slipped us a dainty
packet of cash to publish her
name in the column, but we de
cided that as we can’t find any

doesn’t need the publicity,
we're not going to do it.

This is our second attempt to
prove that spring has came. The
first was a bloomer and after com
posing an operetta or two on the
beauty of bud and leaf it rained
for a week.
Perhaps the surest method of
proving spring is here is empha
sizing the prevelancy of the rever
sable anecdote. It is so easy to
construct a reversable ancedote
that a child can do it. Here is the
simple way it operates:
1. The anecdote in the rough.
One of the choicest bon mots cir
culating in the inner circle of
Washington’s diplomatic set is at
tributed to President Coolidge. It
seems a western senator who is fam
ous for his quick wit recently call
ed at the White House to pay the
President his respects.
He spent some time with Mr.
Coolidge and when about to leave
the executive mansion happened to
notice heavy clouds forming in the
sky. Turning to Mr. Coolidge, the
senator said: “Mr. President, it
looks like rain.”
“Senator,” retorted the Presi
dent, with a twinkle in his eye, “it
never rains but it pours.” A hearty
laugh ensued and the senator, later
telling the story to his colleagues,
admitted the joke was on him.
2. By turning several screws and
folding it lengthwise, the following
pattern is obtained:
George Bernard Shaw, as the
world knows, is at his best in a
battle of repartee. The great au
thor was present at tea in one of
of the celebrated Mayfair solons
not long ago and when tea was be
ing served expressed a preferance
for coffee. He wittingly remarked
that the java stained his whiskers
a prettier shade.
The hostess was prompt to comply
with his wish and in passing him a
demi-tasse she said casually, “My
dear Mr. Shaw, it looks like rain.”
“l£ certainly does,” he muttered,
with a twinkle in his eye, “but I
presume its coffee.” A gale of re
fined chuckles greeted the remark
and it is said several noblewomen
actually dropped their lorgnettes
and crumpets.
3. By putting in the window and
allowing to cool the revorsable
spring ancedotc assumes a differ
ent color—thus:
The Pshaw of Pershia, who often
wears silk pants, was visiting in
Paris recently and having a holi
day. A beautiful and vivacious
Parisiene was dinning with him at
the ltitz and casually remarked, in
the course of conversation, that it
looked like rain.
So, wishing to extricate himself
from the delicate situation without
injuring the lady, the Pshaw replied
with a twinkle in his eye, “Honi
soit qui mal i pense.” (Persian for
“So is your old man,” or, “So’s
your wild oats”) A gale of laughter
broke the tensity of the situation
and later the Pshaw borrowed a
raincoat for the fair Parisienne to
wear home.

graphs if anyone can deny spring
is here in face of the effects it has
had upon the column, we’re open
for conviction.

DEAREST ANNE:
These wonderful sunshiny days
we have been having lately are
inspirations to get out early. So
the other morning we canoed up
the mill race and built our fire
at the portage to cook our ham
and eggs by. We bought them
at Underwood-EUiott’s, which is
conveniently close to the cam
pus—just one block west of the
Alpha Chi house on Thirteenth
street. We plan to have another
breakfast soon to entertain a girl
from Stanford who is visiting
Sally.. Underwood-Elliott’s have
the best dateg, too—they are
called Degla Noor and come from
the Imperial valley in Califor
nia.
We have made a resolution not
to eat candy during Lent and as
Sundays are not dncludjpd—we
tear for McKillop’s across from
the Eugene hospital and it’s
lucky for us they have their
specials on Saturdays and Sun
days. This week they are spe
cializing in full cream fudge at
34c a pound.
* * «
Lots of the girls are letting
their hair grow—it seems that
faghions this year demand long
hair—and Vogue tells us it is
good, too. Then rve find a place
that can fix your hair into some
sort of an arrangement to make
it look long while it is growing
out—Hastings Sisters do this to
perfection and can match your
hair if you haven’t saved it.
Their shop is in the Miner
building on the sixth floor.
* * *
Easter favors—adorable little
china iuk pots, made in France,
cream colored with blue and
pink figures and a along feather
quill to gcribble notes to the
family with—Chinese puzzle
rings of silver—fascinating to
try to solve the puzzle of this
ring. Also book marks—silk
cords with tassels and small
ivory elephants. All these may
be had at the Aladdin Giftware
Shop.
* * *
Tweet, tweet, cirp the canaries
as one enters Eaup’s Florigt Shop
—the beautiful flowers make
one linger, sweet peas and hya
cinths are so popular now. They
have them in the loveliest colors,
too. And a suggestion of Easter
in the tall, white Easter lilies—
they will make the best gift for
a dear friend or a house mother.
“That’s the best shingle,
Carol, where did you get it?” To
reveal my gecret to Bets wTas fun
—“The Co-ed Barber Shop, dear,
isn’t it good!” They do give
the best cuts and you can al
ways be fixed up quickly—the
best part of it is the closeness
of the shop to school—just back
of the Co-op and next to the
Y. W. C. A.
Went to the “Little Shop
Around the Corner” from the
McDonald theatre yesterday and
discovered all sorts of interest
ing things—new pictures—dance
programs and dear little party
favorg. I bought the best look
ing birthday card there for Lois.
It’s hand painted and has the
sweetest verse about friends and
years and flowers.

The Letitia Abrams Hat Shop
over Wetherbee-Densmore’s have
more new spring hats—they ex
pect the new banded straws by
Saturday. But had some mighty
clever ones in now. One I was
just crazy about wag a small one
of Florida gold bankcock straw
—bound with orange silk and
trimmed with silk ribbon orna
ments set perkily on one side.
Here’s hoping the ol’ check ar
rives before someone else spots it.
i f i
Hoping we’ll be together
spring vacation.
Yours,
CAROL.
