Oregon Women Place Brains Above Beauty in'Ideal Man9 } i By VIRGINIA WENTZ Is the tall, dark, handsome man a favorite with the women? Or is the most sought after male the one with a peppy personality and “a good line”? Not to be outdone by the men who, some weeks ago, stated their ideals of the feminine sex, several prominent women tell “what’s what” in a man as far as they are concerned. Intelligence seems to be the prime requisite. Bea Milligan, senior: “The man I like must be brilliant but not too brilliant. He must be well-man nered, for fine manners ‘make the man.’ My man should be ambi tious and have lots of initiative. Above all he must have an attrac tive personality.” Florence McNerney, senior: “I like an intelligent man, and one with a very keen sense of humor. I like him to be somewhat idealis tic, and I prefer the artistic man —the poet, architect, or artist. It doesn’t make any difference about his looks if he has brains.” Phyllis Van Kimmell, junior: “I don’t care what he looks like as long as he is a lot of fun. I like a man who is a good pal along | with everything else. Other peo ple must like him, too, besides my j self. He must be good natured and • intelligent.” The handsome man does not seem to “rate,” so if any man on the campus wants to be popular with the women, he must develop that brain of his. Or at least ap pear intelligent. InitiationHeld For Phi Betes And Sigma Xi Dr. Gilbert Gives Greeting To Scholars; Henry Magnuson Speaks BANQUET IS GIVEN _ Joint Meeting Is Addressed1 By Ralph Chaney, U. C. Professor Initiation of new members to Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi; was held last evening and fol lowed by a formal banquet at Hendricks hall. Dean James H. Gilbert gave the greetings from Phi Beta Kappa and Henry W. Magnuson, senior in education gave the response. Dr. Bari L. Packard gave the greetings from Sigma Xi, and the response was given by John H. Truesdail, sen/ ior in chemistry. Edwin T. Hodge acted as toastmaster. Immediately following the ban quet the members of both organ izations attended the Phi Beta Kappa-Sigma Xi address at alum ni hall, Gerlinger building, given by Dr. Ralph W. Chaney, profes sor of paleobotany at the Univer sity of California, which is affil iated with the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D. C. The title of his address was “The Trail From Mongolia to Oregon.” The talk covered his actual experiences during his travels in Asia, Cen tral America and western United States. Dr. Chaney used his pho tographic slides to illustrate his talk, many of which were familiar scene# of portions o^Oregon. Desert Is Described “Our travels took us over re gions where few vehicles have ever passed and even few camels. Caravans of camels preceded us by several hionths into the deso late wastes of Mongolia, and we followed with American-made mo tor cars. "Contrary to the belief of many, our greatest difficulty arose in contacts with too much water rather than too little. There were no bridges on the rivers, and some rivers were nearly impassable,” Dr. Chaney said. Dr. Chaney pointed out to his audience the way in which the geologists and paleobotanists are able to read the rocks and tell with considerable accuracy the sort of life that existed 30,000,000 years ago. Forest Relic of Life “Our own redwood forest is a relic of ancient life,” said Dr. Chaney, “as we find traces of the selfsame growths in the Asiatic soil at the present time.” “We have signs of the fossil life within a few miles of Eugene, at Goshen,” he continued, “and some very wonderful specimens of ferns and leaves have been uncovered in the rocks during road construc tion.” “The first authentic discovery of dinosaur eggs was made in the Asiatic region. In some instances we found the small dinosaurs, newly hatched, perfectly formed, and we count them as valuable discoveries.” Dr. Chaney declared that there had been so many discoveries of the ancient fossil animals that it was a very easy matter for an art ist to make a fairly accurate rec ord of them for the New York museum.

"An Old Order in a New Environ ment” is the subject of the essay submitted by David Wilson, soph omore, which won second place.

Miss Thielsen sang two groups of songs. Donizetti’s "Regnava nel silenzio,” from “Lucia di Lam mermoor,” showed brilliancy and fine control, especially in the tra ditional operatic flourishes. A scene from Verdi’s "Traviata” dis played unusual dramatic quali ties of voice. The second group included “On Wings of Night,” by Watts, which showed lyric tones; Scott’s “Unforseen," a strange melody, and “Bird of the Wilder ness,” by Horsman, which proved Miss Thielsen's extraordinary abil ity to bring to her audience the thought of the composer. Edward Fisher’s three numbers were excellently sung. “Sappish che Ode,” by Brahms, brought out fine shades of expression. In Tschaikowsky’s “Pilgrim Song,” Mr. Fisher’s voice had drama— there was a triumphant ring to it. The challenging "Blow, blow, thou winter wind,” by Sargent, was a high light. Gladys Foster, who did two pi ano groups, showed herself a fin ished performer. The first group, Schumann's “Faschingswank aus Wien,” began and ended with a swift allegro. In the second group, all Chopin, an impromptu in F sharp major displayed unsuspect ed power, as well as delicate smooth runs. A waltz in G-flat major was airy, the C-sh&p minor prelude a delightful reverie, the prelude in B-flat minor masterly. Miss Foster is a Juilliard scholar, and a student of George Hopkins. Miss Thielsen and &r. Fisher are both Arthur Boardman students.
