The publication of the social cal ender for spring term indicates that the students will be exceptionally busy this term socially as well as intellectually. The tirst week-end was crowded with informals, ten dances, and entertainuent of all kinds, in many cases given in honor of guests who were visiting on the campus for April Frolic. Besides the activities on the campus, Port land has also been the scene of in teresting announcements and enter tainments. The next man who has the audac ity to speak slurringly of a woman’s curiosity should be reminded of the fact that sometimes the stronger sex is not immune to that instinct. At least there is fairy good evidence that curiosity played some part in the desire experienced by some of the campus men to be present at the annual April Frolic held at the Woman’s building last Saturday night. When the Frolic was well under way, the fashion show ready to start ,and everything progress ing beautifully, piercing screams announced the presence of men in the vicinity. Men about fifty strong, or they seemed that many, had rushed the gates, and it was some time before quiet was re stored after the guards succeeded in expelling them. After the excite ment, the stunts went on as usual, with a vaudeville act between the stunts put on by the classes. The sophomore stunt was awarded the cup as the best and most original stunt presented. In addition to the social affairs contingent with the April Frolic, the installation of Eta Gamma chapter of Phi Mu took place this week-end.

First thing I did when I ’woke up was to look at my watch. It told me I had to hurry. While I ate breakfast, I looked at my watch three times. On my way to the store I looked at it twice. And now, while I’m writing this, I’ve done it again! Funny, isn’t it? ^ And yet, everybody does it. As Mr. Skeie said yesterday, “Take all the watches out of Eugene and business would be in a dickens of a fix.” Is your watch doing its duty? If not, bring it in and let Mr. Skeie feel its pulse. TICK. If it comes from Skeie’s it must be good 927 Willamette—Phone 411 Sticking to a good idea Several years ago the Peter Pan started business in Eugene with the idea of catering to college trade. In other words giving the “eds” and “co-eds” the best food as quickly as possible. The Peter Pan has kept this idea up to the present time, and it is this that accounts for its popularity.
