-is that sorry tong. They
have the most homely women on
the campus and a white elephant
of a house secured in the first
place by conventionally sinful
means; kept only by dint of ex
orbitant house bills.
Two blondes they have—two
blondes only which will pass the
critical eyes of the stag-line.
Only two. One of these is flip
pant and chronically unfaithful; I
the other has an unpronounce
able name, a humped nose and
a sad propensity for orange—
a color which suits her com
plexion badly. Upon closer ex
amination I find that her nose
is rather of the roller-coaster
variety—the exact antithesis of
the humped type. That mis
take was due, no doubt, to my
subconscious dislike for humped
noses... (My own is.) There
fore I hooked up this woman
with that kind of features.
“Where’s that damn waitress?’’i
one of them shrills. (Misuse of !
the word “damn,’’ showing faulty !
understanding of this really ad- j
mirable adjective. Rather it
should be stated; “Where in hell’s [
the waitress,” or “damn that wait
ress.” The use of the word in her
case is solely a gesture. It is not
an integral part of her vocabu
lary. )
And they also have the little
wench who, unable to trick men
into making dates tactfully, as
it should, of course, be done,
making her dates by the beauti
fully simple method of asking
for them . . .
Says she: “Gee, I'd like to go to
the Alpha Alpha pledge dance!”
Answers one of my disdainful, but
surprised friends: “Well, I'd like
to go to the - pledge dance,
too, but I’m not!”
Ordinary women they seem
and ordinary women they prove
to be, and anyone knows that
an ordinary woman is low—yea
—even lower than an ordinary
man, and Lord know’s that’s
quite entirely low.
Women seemingly ordinary who
turn out to be the opposite are
rarae avi . . . beautiful women
who are also of good intelleect
exist only in the wish-fulfillment
myth and are to be studiously
avoided if, perchance, met up
with, for there lies Hell . . . verily
there lies Hell . . .
But you're quite safe from this
last type at the --house.
However, avoid them for other
reasons, for there lies utter bore
dom, if not perdition.

COUGARS BEAT ORANGEMEN
By Bill Simmons, Sports Editor,
Oregon State Barometer
Oregon State College, Corvallis,
Jan. 13. (Special to Emerald)—
Washington State college over
whelmed Oregon State by a score
of 40-27 in a slow and uninterest
ing game in the Men's gymnasium
here tonight. The visiting Cou
gars led the local team 201G at
the end of the half, and in the
second period they collected 20
more points to 11 for Oregon
State.
McCarney of Washington State
was the high point man of the
fray with 17 counters, and llol
sten, also of Washington, was in
second place with 14. Grayson
was the high point man for Ore
gon State with 7 points. The vis
iting team markedly augmented
its score by converting 12 out of
14 free throws allowed.
Army and Navy football negotia
tors fail to reach an agreement

! University Band
Presents First
Concert of Year
More Music and Less Noise
Than Formerly Is
Crowd’s Comment
I
The loudly blaring pep band of
the University of Oregon is gone.
In its place is an organization of
genuine musical spirit, somewhat
unfinished yet in its. playing, but .
rich with promise.
This was shown Sunday after
noon at the music auditorium,
when the band appeared in its
first concert under the direction j
of John H. Stehn, new to the Uni
versity this year.
Suppe's “Poet and Peasant
Overture" was given a remarkably
finished interpretation, with strong
climactic passages, and nicely
shaded slower movements. The!
rest of the program, selections
popular to band concerts, was
played with vigor and color. Wil
liam B. Sievers played the trum
pet solos, “The World is Waiting
for the Sunrise,'' by Seitz, and
"Kisa Me Again,” from Herbert's
“Mile. Modiste."
The program was given under
the auspices of the Associated
Students of the University and is
in line with a genereal effort on
the part of the administration to
widen music interest on the cam
pus.
John Stark Evans, dean of the
school of music, speaking at inter
mission, told the audience that all
concert and vesper services at the
music building will begin at 4
o’clock beginning next Sunday.
The program was heard by an
audience ‘-that nearly filled the
building. Enthusiastic approval
of the work done by Mr. Stehn
with the band was voiced by
members of the audience.
Mr. Stehn, a graduate of Grin
nell college taught in the mathe
matics department at the Univer
sity of Oklahoma before coming
here.
Dr. Dean J. Lansbury, clean of
the school of music, had this to
say:
“We used to hear it said that
•The devil lived in the choir loft’
and it has been my unhappy ex
perience that bands were the war
department of music, but happily 1
we a.re out of the woods. Under
the splendid leadership of Mr.
Stehn I can look forward with
genuine confidence to a band of
which wc will all be proud. With
out in any way detracting from
our interest in glee club, poly
phonic choir or orchestra, let's
boost the band.”

Pipes save no
midnight oil
IF PIPES made the man, anybody
at all could rise in the world just
by smoking a few pounds of Edge*
worth. But pipes do not make the man.
Men make the pipe—most men do.
Somewhat depends on the individual,
more on the pipe, and the tobacco is
most important of all. Things must
be congenial.
Edgeworth is a congenial tobacco;
cool, slow-burning, fully flavored.
Edgeworth has poise, kindly good
nature, real tobacco personality —■
Edgeworth welcomes new friends.
Many a good man has been pledged
to pipes by Edgeworth alone.
Like to meet Edgeworth? Just ask
with the coupon—and the postman
will bring your first few pipefuls of
the genuine, three years seasoned if
it’s a day. Our treat, if you please.
Others have found Edgeworth and
quit their discontent.
So may it be with you!
EDGEWORTH
Edgeworth is a careful blend
of good tobaccos — selected
especially for pipe-smoking. Its
quality and flavor never
change. Buy it anywhere
— “Ready Rubbed’* or
“Plug Slice”—15*1 pocket
package to pound humi
