Nancy Thielsen
To Be Featured
At Senior Ball
Beautiful Setting Arranged
For Music Recital;
Help Needed
Only two more days remain be
fore the biggest and most formal
senior ball will be presented. “Bal
de 1’elegance” promises, according
to those in charge, to be the most
elaborate dance ever given by a
class in the University. Committees
( of seniors have been working for
the past three weeks and now their
work is pretty much completed.
The feature of this year’s ball
promises to be one of the best ever.
In keeping with the French idea,
Miss Nancy Thielsen will be pre
sented in a musical recital. Miss
Thielsen, who is a freshman on the
campus, has been much in demand.
Every one wants to hear her sweet
soprano voice. She was featured
during the program of the Dad’s
Day banquet, recently held on the
campus.
Miss Thielsen will present her re
cital on a beautiful'setting. At one
end of the floor a large decorative
arch will be arranged, and here, in
a setting of beauty only amplified
by varied colored lighting effects,
the recital will be presented. Plans
have been made so ihat everyone
will be able to hear and see the re
cital. The dancers will be kept back
a considerable distance from the
^ arch so that the lighting effects will
not be spoiled. Imagine a beauti
ful decorated stage with art flour
ishing on both sides and a series
of steps in front and you have a
fair picture of this setting.
Bob Warner, head of the dance
committee, made an urgent plea last
night that all senior men and women
refrain from having dates tomor
row njght and devote the time to
working on the decorations. Every
thing will be ready to be put to
gether Friday night. Warner said,
“If you must have dates bring them
up to the Woman’s building Friday
night. We will have plenty of work
for all.”
Connie Both, in charge of the
sewing, is also making an appeal to
all living organizations to urge their
senior women to come to the base
ment of Hendricks hall any after
noon this week from 3 to 6 o’clock.
There are a good many yarifs of
decorations yet to be sewed. Elec
tric machines have been provided.

released by the Stanford bookstore

Snappy Sales Talk Brightens Campus
As Gypsy Maids Attack Onlookers
If you wake up in daze and won
der what gives the campus that
bright and shiny appearance today,
you must remember that Junior
Shine Day is but a few hours be
hind and the after-effects are hold
ing over.
Sales talk was fast and furious
in the melee yesterday and many
were the new lines developed by the
fair co-eds who laid the applesauce
on plenty thick. Tongues wagged
at both ends and in the middle
while gypsy maids struggled to in
duce thoughtful and broke profes
sors or less thoughtful but just as
broke students to buy a shine tick
et.
“You promised to buy a ticket
from me,” “Here's a man that’s
going to buy a ticket.” “flelp out
a. poor co-ed who's merely trying
to get along in the world.”
“But,” protested an unfortunate
student on crutches, “I wear a car
pet slipper on onp foot.1'
“Oh, that’s all right,” assured
the determined saleslady. “You can
buy a ticket for a nickel seeing that
you’ve only one shoe to work on."
She sold the ticket.
Another argument which, strange
ly enough, did not seem to sell many
tickets was: “You better buy two
tickets, one for each foot.’ or “Most
people would make you buy two
tickets for a shoe shine, but I’m
offering you a bargain .... I’ll
make ’em shine yours for one.”.
Boots were taken at ten cents a
boot and many were the industrious
shiners who complained that polish
ing them was like blacking a stove
pipe.
The grand total taken in by the
junior class will bo announced in
tomorrow’s paper along with the
lucky numbers of those who bought
tickets.
Instructor Gives New
Idea About Clothing
OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Eeb.
15.—(P.I.P.)—Dress in your table
of contents, or your ticket of ad
mission, and your facb is your front
window, believes Miss Louise Struve,
instructor in clothing and related
arts, who spoke on “Dress” recently.
“The first thing one think* of in
coming to college is his wearing
apparel,” Miss Struve said. “Clothes
make the man, maybe' they do and
maybe they don’t, but -who is going
to bo the judge? Clothes are im
portant because people have no
other way of judging a person at
first. It is easier to be critical of
other people than to wear the cor
rect thing ourselves. Good taste in
dress is defined as wearing the right
thing at the right time.”
Girls should avoid -wearing high
heels and chiffon hose oin the cam
pus and the boys should wear gar
ters as it gives a much neater ap*
pearance, she thinks.
Social Director Plans
? Campus Visit Fp4*y
Miss Margaret D. Creech, assist
ant director of the Portland school
of social work, will be on the cam
pus Friday, to confer with students
wishing to enter this field. Ap
pointments may be made through
the extension division here.
The enrollment of the Portland so
cial service school is constantly
growing, according to P. A. Pardons,
director. Work consists of several
courses of studies, and actual con
tact work in sections of Portland,
so that students are well fitted for
positions when they graduate.
‘Chemistry and War’
Subject of Discussion

subject for discussion at the first
regular meeting of the newly re
organized International Relations
club, to be held tonight at 7:30 p.

sor in chemistry, will . lead the

21 members, chosen by the faculty

Sharp Off Varsity Aquatic Squad
Another of Coach Ed Abercrom- |
bic's new men on the swimming
team is Jim Sharp, who succeeded
in making the frosh swimming toam

his letter with the varsity this
spring. Jim succeeded in garnering
10 points in the two meets with
Multnomah this season, and in the
100-yard freo-style event he is clos$
second to Johnny Anderson. In
conjunction with Fletcher and Mc
Alpin, Sharp set a Record for the
medley relay against Multnomah.
Jim is also a member of the var
sity free-stylo relay quartet.
Coming to Oregon from Hammond,
Indiana, James was entirely with
out previous experience in the
aquatic sports. While in high school
he went out for football and broko
his collar-bone so badly that it did
not knit properly. Realizing that

That practical joke
about looking upward
\
You can’t help yourself. If you see someone standing
still in the street, looking upward, you bend your neck
backward. You want to see too. You want to know
what’s going on.
That instinct is perhaps the main reason for news
papers. So you can know what’s going on. Going on
among your neighbors, among the people in the next
state, in other lands. You want to know the news.
And that’s what advertising is for, too. So you can
know what’s going on. So you can know the news about
styles in clothing, about theories in foods, about the latest
improvements in radio amplifiers or automobile engines
or face creams. News! You want to know the news.
The advertising in this newspaper is here to tell you
things. It is here to keep you in touch with the things that
are going on. Advertisements are interesting. They are
useful. They are news.
Don’t miss news
l
