A delightful program and decor ative scheme has been worked out by S. Stephenson Smith, faculty director, and Miss Myrtle McDan iels, student chairman for the af fair. Famous characters of Colonial times will be imperson ated by professors and students, strolling singers will render typi cal ballads of the period, the Sons of the Whiskey Rebellion will vocalize in true backwoods fashion, and stately dames and gentlemen will dance the Virginia Reel.

Costumes are optional, and guests may come with or without dates. t- * * Many Dances Slated For Saturday Evening Saturday night will again be crowded with fraternity and sor ority dances, due to the fact that the all-University Colonial Rout on Friday leaves only half the week-enc^ open for other affairs.

HARRIS 2S29 for Delivery FEET OF CLAY By BOBAR DATE WAR RAGES! “Being neglected,” cries Schenk! “Who, us?” bellows Strainer!!! Battle, which has been brewing for days flamed forth last night between eds and co-eds of the campus. Harry Schenk, leader of the stand-patters, when interviewed last night, claimed, “We are being neglected! Is thi3 leap year, or not? Why do we sit home night after night while they (the gals) have fun?” Betty Strainer, leader of the insurgent party, says, “We are sick and tired of all this business. Leap year or no leap year, we intend to stand up for our rights!” When the two were brought together at the Feet of Clay office, together with their camp-followers, the strife broke forth anew. All hopes of arbitration were abandoned late last night, as both sides entrenched for battle. “What good are pants?” asks Penland. “Aw, go hire a hot house,” Baum’s retort. John Penland, lieutenant of the stand-pat faction, claims the battle will be fought to the bitter end. “We men are at a fighting pitch,” is his claim. “Nuts,” Majordomo Baum retorts. “What’d'yu mean, men? This thing can not last,” she said last night. “We intend to hold out till the last man!” “Flower of manhood trampled,” storms Jones. “Flower—Hah, that’s rich!” says Ansley. Chuck Jones and his husky adversary, Ansley, came near to blows, eyebrows being batted at a furious pace during their meeting yesterday evening. "You big so and so,” yelled Ansley. “Madame,” said Jones, “be a gentleman!" “Aw,” says Travis, “lay off!” “You were the cause, you wretch!” James Linn Travis got picked as a special adversary by the blond baby from the Alpha Chi house. In this, the only decisive encounter of the evening, Travis got skinned. “Pacific resistance is our only hope,” was his claim when interviewed following his encounter. “Re member the Maine!" countered Sersanous. Travis, felled by this, made no retort, and the match went to the gal, six love. “We’re bein’ rooked!” claims Gregg “That ain’t the half,” says Tarbell. Tarbell and Gregg exchanged a bloody barrage of glances during their engagement. Gregg, staunchest of staunch, stood up well under punishment, but so did Tarbell. Late last night neither would admit anything. “Wait and see," was the ominous tidings from the front. Several hits, everybody ran, errors, migosh. Refugees from the battle-torn area will be given faculty protection by mailing a request for the same to the dean of women’s office. How long the fight will last is not known, but sensational develop ments are promised by both sides. Snapshot Section Of Oregana Still Lacking Material 'HE DEADLINE for snaps for the Oregana has been extended beeause of the fact that an insuffieient number of pictures to fill the eight-page snapshot section of the year book have been turned in, Jack Bellinger, school year editor, announced last night. The chances are good that prints that are turned in will be used, Bellinger said, as over three-fourths of those that have been sent in have been selected for the snapshot section. Oregon Courtesy Book Will Be Completed Soon March First Set as Last Date for Asking Etiquette Questions “The Oregon Courtesy Book,” campus etiquette guide, is rapidly nearing completion, Helen Evans, co-sponsor of its publication, an nounces. Sections contributed by Philome lete hobby groups, which are aid ing Phi Theta Upsilon, upperclass women’s service honorary, and Skull and Daggers, sophomore men's honorary, in the propject, will be ready for compilation by the end of the week.. Questions still find their way into the query box placed in the College Side for student use by the two organizations. Answers to questions inserted until March 1 will appear in the “Courtesy Book.” Four samples of questions asked during the last week are found be low. 1. At a formal reception, such as the one preceding the Senior ball, should the man precede or follow the girl dowiT the receiving line ? 2. In making introductions is it proper to say, “Miss X, Mr. Y” or vice versa ? 3. When two couples meet and the girls know each other, how should the introduction be made? Also, in the case of two men know ing each other and one man and one girl ? 4. How long before a formal reception should invitations be sent out? i TALKIE TOPICS ► By RALPH MASON Heilig — “The Final Edition,” fea turing May Clarke. Showing till Friday. Colonial— “Five Year Plan,” show ing for last time today. Rex — “Bad Company,” starring Helen Twelvetrees. Showing to day and tomorrow. McDonald — “No One Man,” fea turing Carole Lombard and Paul Lukas. Showing for the last time today. Lombard at McDonald “It’s good,” she said and we quite agree. Carole Lombard and Juliette Compton appear in dazzling gowns and the things they don't do to get their men. Paul Lukas and Ricardo Cortez are the men in question but which wants who, and who has which is variable. Here’s a typical shot, moonlight and dreamy music, a garden scene —and then “You do that excep tionally well,” from Lombard. Ac tion is well governed and progress es evenly and pleasingly. The theme for the picture is based on the purport of Rupert Hughes’ novel, that “no one man is sufficient to satisfy and occupy the heart of any woman.” To hear the man-hunters coldly declaring that they are looking for 100 per cent men, and that they are tired of 75 per cent men, is rather dis concerting to some of us, but after a time something happens which atones for this uncomfortable re mark. A certain breezineas permeates the entire film, which has shots of Palm beach, sur-boards, soft moon light, polo, and a babies’ ward in a hospital with real two-toned ba bies. An unusually funny comedy fea turing the sly villain, the brave hero and the winsome maiden and the Keystone cops is included in the bill. “Girl of Rio,” comes for a two day run tomorrow with Dolores Del Rio and Leo Carrillo in the featured roles. Russian Film at Colonial All sides of Russian social life and industry are strikingly pre sented in “The Five Year Plan,” which is showing for the last time today at the Colonial. Russia, which has 160 million people, and is two and a nail times as large as the United States, is shown in its atom with an accom panying lecture in English. This picture is emphatically not intend ed for amusement, rather it at tempts to explain what Russia is really working for. Scenes of huge grain elevators and power plants, long strings of tractors working 24 hours a day, 500,000-acre farms, and modern apartment houses for workers show in a graphic way just what the “Five Year Plan” is. * * * “Bad Company at Rex Helen Twelvetrees and Ricardo Cortez are starring in “Bad Com pany” which is showing at the Rex for today and tomorrow. This film is a gangster picture with lots of rapid action. Good lines fall most ly to Cortez and there are many of them. Dr. E. Pendle To Teach Principles of Economics Dr. Elmer Pendle of the Univer sity of Oklahoma, who is now on the campus on a leave of absence, will teach the course, principle of economics, next term. Professor Pendle will temporarily take the place of Dr. Donald Erb, who is going to Stanford as a visiting pro fessor from the University. Dr. Pendle is an alumnus of the University, having graduated in 1921. “I am proud to be a prod uct of this institution,” he said, “and I am glad to be back and be of service to her.” Let Me Save You Money Rent Your Tuxedo From UNIVERSITY TAILOR 1128 Alder Phone 2641 Keeping ahead of the second hand To keep telephone service in step with the swift pace of American life, Bell System men tackle many an absorbing problem, find many an ingenious solution. For instance, they decided that pre cious seconds could be saved by a change in long-established operating routine. The operator used to repeat the number called by the subscriber — now she indicates that she understands by saying, “Thank you.” To appreciate the importance of the second thus saved, just multiply it by the 40,000,000 conversations handled by oper ators on the average day. In the telephone business, major improve ments that save the subscriber’s time and give him better service often result from just such apparently minor changes.
