By MARGARET CLARK Though the “Scandal Sheet” with its good and bad news was late in coining, it arrived in time to let the bad effects wear off and prepare the students for a more profitable spring term inspired to greater ef forts by the wenderful weather. Many who take a course in mill racing during the spring term will be disappointed to learn that the reports are true regarding the draining of that stream though ef forts are being made to keep enough water for canoes. Undaunt ed the students must have their recreation and during the spring va cation set a pace which they will do well if they maintain through out the year. The annual Miami Triad dance given by Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi was held on the last day of examinations. Those present became for a night the character they represented and the variety was noticeable. Frock coats and hula skirts, derby hats and Mexican sombreros, Pierrette and Pierrot, and French dolls, all were present and made apparently suc cessful efforts to forget that exam inations existed and realize only that they were over. After the dancing w'as over, at one o’clock, the party progressed from the Cam pa Shoppe to the Sigma Chi house where refreshments were served. The Triad is held each year in honor of the founding of the three organizations. A celebration also was held at the Alpha Tau Omega house Fri day, March 18 at the end of exam inations. About 25 couples were present and the evening started with a dinner at the house followed by dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bow en were the patronesses. A party on the Sea Wolf was also held in Portland on the night of March 26 at which about 50 couples of the alumnae and active mem bers of Alpha Tau Omega were pres ent. The spring weather contributed to the success of one of the first boating parties of the year. Supper was served on the boat. To turn from the past to the fu ture for a few moments, it is only fitting to mention an event which is scheduled for April 23. It is none other than the annual Seven Seers Costume cabaret. Those in power say that the invitation list is com pleted and impressed the fact that the group chosen is exceedingly se lect. Not only will the group be exclusive but the dance is predicted to be most elaborate in all ways. Between every dance a feature will be presented and favors of the best quality are promised. The members of Oregon Alpha and Oregon Beta of Pi Beta Phi were guests of Mrs. Fletcher Linn at a tea at her home in Portland on Friday, March 27th. Alumnae of the two chapters were also pres ent. The hours were four to six. The engagement of Helen Martin and Bruce Fenton, both former Ore gon students, was announced in Portland March 19th at Miss Mar tin ’s home. The announcement was made on little blue-bird cards which were distributed by a tiny girl dressed in blue. The color scheme of blue and yellow was carried out in the daffodils and blue tapers which decorated the table. The date for the wedding has not been definitely set. Mis Martin was affiliated with Alpha Xi Delta on this campus and has been out of school a year. The alumnae of Delta Delta Del ta sponsored a benefit bridge tea at the Woman’s club building in Portland. The last day of vacation, Saturday the 26th, was the date chosen. The national president of Chi Omega, Mary C. Lorr Collins, was a visitor in Eugene during the holi days. She held a conference with the girls who were in Eugene and also some members of the O. A. C. chapter who came from Corvallis to meet her. From Eugene, she went to Portland where she was enter tained by active and alumnae mem bers of the sorority. Seattle is the next stopping place on her itinerary where she will visit Betty Easter day, president of the local chapter. The alumnae of Alpha Xi Delta entertained the active girls of the Oregon and O. A. C. at a luncheon, Saturday, March 26th. It was held at the Sovereign hotel. About 22 of the active members and alumnae of Beta Theta Pi were present at the luncheon given by the fraternity at the University club in Portland on Thursdav, the 24th. Extensive preparations are under way to make the coming April frol ic a greater success than ever be fore. Rehearsals and more rehear sals are the program for the partici pants in the stunts for the coming week. The stunts will be given at the annual women’s get-together next Saturday night, April 2nd. Stuffed Ballot Boxes Watched at Willamette Willamette University, Salem— (P I P)—No more ballot stuffing at the May Queen election was as sured when the executive commit tee went on record Monday as fav oring a eloser check on votes cast in the nominating election. It is claimed that individuals, ardent supporters of some certain candi date in the past, have jammed the ballot box full of votes without detection. This year, the ballots will be giv en out to the students after some chapel period. Trustworthy student body officials will collect at the doors and see that no student pre sents more than one vote.

Cougar Diamond Men Prepare for Season State College of Washington, Pullman—( P I P) — “Buck” Bailey had his baseball proteges out last Wednesday afternoon for their first outside workout. Twenty-six men were out in suit? but the eold weather kept them from exercising strenuously. The program was confined to hitting practice, fielding, and conditioning work. The squad will be cut next week after which real work will start and a line obtained on the individual men. The pitchers have been working out in the gym for the past three weeks and are rounding their arms into shape fast. This will enable Coach Bailey to start the men pit ching to the batters as soon as the turnouts on Rogers field get under way. The first game is with the Col lege of Idaho, April 11. The men surviving the cut will work through spring vacation and should be in fine shape for the opening game.

Accepting no hearsay, they have smoked out the facts. They have learned that the choicest Turkish and Domestic to baccos grown are rolled into Camels, that here is the incomparable blend ing for goodness, that Camels simply never tire the taste. Camel is the cigarette that never fails to please the modern age. Re gardless of how often you want the comfort of a smoke, of how steadily you light one after another, Camel will never fail you, never give you any but the finest thrill of smoking pleasure. This is why Camel’s popu larity, by far the largest in the modern world, keeps overwhelmingly in the lead. As modern taste becomes more insistent upon choice tobaccos, in creasing millions discover Camel’s in comparable mildness, smoothness and mellowness. If you want the cigarette that’s good to live with from morn to mid night, the one that is the choice of the modern age, "Have a Camel!” R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON-SALEM. N.
