Today’s cinema effort at the Mc Donald, home of bigger and bet ter shows, is Lionel Barrymore, in a drama called “Sweepings.” That’s safe. I mean to say, every one says nice things about Lionel. He’s the 1 eir apparent to the throne of America's royal family. His work is uniformly good. We go to see him even though we’re certain the show won’t be good, because we know Lionel will be. Many prefer him to John—I’ve had arguments about that, but I'd hate to use this column to do it. Most notable item in the Me- ! Donald ad for tomorrow: William | Gargan is mentioned as a cast j member. Remember his excellent i work in “Animal Kingdom”? Gar-: gan is a punch drunk we’d go to I see even without the Barrymore | boost. I hate to say this, but 11 don’t like Gloria Stuart, and she’s in it too. “Flesh” at the Colonial. This is not a sex picture, and children’s tickets will be sold . The more the merrier. Wallace Beery is the especial interest, and his title is fitting. This is a good show. Wallace plays the homely German wres tler who is as good at hoisting beer barrels as he is at hoisting heavyweights. He is not so hot at hoisting blondes. Karen Morley spells his undoing, with the aid of Ricardo Cortez, never more slinking. ---- Panhellenic Projects By BETTY OHLEMILLER By BETTY OHLEMILLER Gamma Phi Beta Two camps for needy children, located in Denver, Colorado, and Vancouver, British Columbia, maintained by Gamma Phi Beta, provide these youngsters with the necessities of life. The camp coun sellors are Gamma Phi Beta mem bers who also teach the children i games, dancing, songs, and various types of handwork. At national convention, 1915, a Social Service fellowship consist ing of a five hundred dollar award to be given to some young femi nine college graduate, planning to devote herself to social service, was voted. However, it is neces sary that this fortunate young woman have completed one year of graduate work. The active chapters and alum nae chapters cooperate with the national in child welfare work, set tlement work, and charity work. The endowment fund of Gamma Phi Beta, inaugurated and spon sored by Blanche Shore Palmer in 1915 as an alumnae respon sibility is the source of loans for building and installing of vari ous things needed. Individual chap ters proffer various awards to members with high scholastic aver ages. * * * Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Alpha Theta's scholar ship fund, now known as the Loan and Fellowship fund, is divided in two parts; the loan itself to help the undergraduates and the inter est on the loan is used for gradu ate fellowships. Their Friendship fund provides financial aid to the members, while the Memorial fund is being held in reserve until a sum large enough to erect a memorial at the frater nity’s founding-place. Dammasch-Carmen Wedding Scheduled First in the long list of forth coming marriages is that of Miss Josephine Dammash to Max Car men, which will take place this Saturday in Portland.

Unemployment Survey Gives Timely Information on Jobs (Information ih the following series of three articles comes from a survey made by the American Woman’s association among a rep resentative group of business and professional women of New York City. The report of the survey in book form is available in the lib rary. ) By J. L. S. Unemployment, besides being a favorite topic of conversation, has become a very real problem which faces every student upon gradua tion from college. Every senior woman on the campus right now is asking her self, “What are my chances, if any* of getting a job? How much money can I expect to earn? Will my degree be of any practical value ?” There is more unemployment among women under 35 years of age than among more mature workers. The percentage of un employment among those who have gone beyond a high school education is lower than among the high school trained, although the possession of an A.B. degree in it self does not render immunity from unemployment. Women with ! college degrees only are out of work more than women wtih less than high school training but prac tical experience. Earnings for women run surpris ingly high according to this sur vey, with 10 per cent of the A. W. A. group reporting over $5,000 a year and 10 per cent of the inde pendent women over $10,000. The typical earning of the total group is $3,030. Salaries run highest in profes sions where few women are en tered and lowest in the groups in "Sheer” Joys are the New "Lacey Sheer” Frocks Dainty Pastel Shades Make These Frocks Cool, Crisp, Dainty— Ideal for the Informal Dance _ INCORPORATED FROCKS which a large proportion of women are employed such as social work, library, design, painting and simi lar occupations.

Phi Theta Upsilon By ANN-REED BURNS One night at the first of this term. 15 girls were presented with corsages of sweet peas and daffo dils and black-and-white ribbons. ( as tokens of their election to Phi I Theta Upsilon, national upper-class service honorary. Phi Theta Upsilon elects each spring term 13 sophomores, 2 juniors, and, if the presidents of the Y. W. C. A. and the A. W S. are not already members, takes them as honorary members. Girls are chosen for Phi Theta on the basis of democracy how well they get along with others, friendliness, leadership, and cooperation. A “C" average is required. A new method of choosing mem bers was ihstalled this year, in which girls are pledged and initi ated within the first two weeks of the term. On the day of pledging, Phi Theta members hold a tea for sophomores and juniors, after which they vote for the girls to be selected. That evening all Phi Thetas go in a body to the home of every girl chosen, presenting her with a pledge ribbon and cor sage. The main purpose of Phi Theta Upsilon is to promote social con tacts between upperclass women, performing the same service for them that frosh councillors do for freshmen. This they do especially through the Philomelete hobby groups. Each of these groups, which sponsors some hobby such as drama, prose and poetry, travel, charm, etc., is headed by two mem bers of Phi Theta. The groups are open to everyone on the campus, teas being given during the year to acquaint women with the groups. Each spring term all groups of Philomelete manage an all-campus dance, to be held this year on May 5.
