As a Woman Sees It
By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST
Quoting from Vanity Fair: “Now that the feminists have fought
and won their battle, feminism is not a la mode. The bright woman
should do everything within her power to conceal her brightness.
‘Careers' for women have become 'old-fashioned': she now wants
it clearly understood that her place is in the home.''
From the tone of this statement it is clearly gathered that the
author thinks of feminism as a fad that caught the fancy of the
twentieth century woman when the machine age freed her from
her burden of household cares. In reality, feminism was not some
thing to be treated as blithely as a trend, as “a la mode." It was
woman’s coming of age.
The introduction of machinery was the means whereby she
could triumph in her long struggle against masculine subjugation
and outworn mores. Feminism was the climax of an evolution, not
a spontaneous generation. It lifted her from the shadows of exist
ence to a vital role in a pulsating world; witness her education on
the same basis as man, witness woman’s suffrage, and her general
absorption into the man’s world as examples.
Through feminism, her long sought opportunity of independ
ence and self-expression came. That is why it is ridiculous to con
sider it as a trend that can be thrown aside like the unpopular dic
tates of dame fashion. That the bright woman should do every
thing within her power to conceal her brightness is clearly the pre
cept of a man, the greater part of whose ego depends on his feeling
superior to women; or a woman, who, unable to stand on her own
two feet must solicit man’s protective instincts for her security.
For centuries the memorial to most women has been, from neces
sity: “also, Mary, wife of the above.” Now the chance has come
that it be: “Mary, teacher, author, artist, business woman, even
Secretary of Labor, to conceal her brightness with such opportuni
ties would be to throw away her 20th century inheritance.
Preparing herself for some “career” can never be deemed “old
fashioned,” for the modern girl who knows that the vicissitudes of
fortune may make self-support a necessity. She knows that if
nothing else, becoming proficient in some line will give her a feeling
of assurance and independence throughout her life, that she will
always have something to fall back on when her children have flown
and domestic duties no longer bind her.

AWS Theme Song
Is 9 Buy A Mum9;
Orders in Today
Chrysanthemums here, chrysan
themums there, chrysanthemums
everywhere. Especially wherever
the A. W. S. is seen.
So much has been said about
the A. W. S. mum sale—through
every medium, from the Emerald
to a song to the tune of “Hinkey
Dinkey Parlez Vous”—that there's
not much more to say. And prob
ably nobody’d listen if more was
said.
But just as one last short warn
ing—students get the mums from
Tommy Luke’s next Saturday, de
livered if they wish. “Help the
team beat the Beavers,” cries the
A. W. S. to the women—and “Win
the best girl with a mum” to the
men.
Anyhow, the theme song is
“Buy a Mum.”
Yes, chrysanthemums every
where.
And orders must be in today.

Beta to Be Entertained

Two Honoraries
Have Joint Dinner i
The first social function of the
two sophomore honoraries on the
campus took place last Tuesday
night, when Kwama entertained
Skull and Dagger at a dinner, held j
at the Alpha Phi house, from
6 to 7:30,
With Adele Sheehy, Kwama
president, at one end of the long
oval ta’olc, and Mrs. A. L. Wall,
Alpha Phi house mother, at the
other, thirty men and women en
joyed a dinner of banquet propor
tions and sang in lusty voices.
Between courses and after din
ner the group danced. A ping-pong
table was popular with several
guests.
Eleanor Eide was in charge of
arrangements for the dinner.
Petition Granted
To Independents
A petition was granted the new
independent women’s organization
allowing freshman to attend its
meetings after 7:30 p. m. by the
\.W.S. council. Reasons for the
petition, which was submitted by
Margery Thayer, president of the
independent women, were that
many women can come to meeting
only after 7:30, and that if fresh
nen were not allowed to come at
that time, many women could not
belong to the group.
Ordinarily freshman women are
not permitted to attend meetings
after 7:30 p. m., in accordance
with a recommendation made this
summer at the A.W.S. planning
conference and passed by the
heads of houses. Exceptions to
this rule can be granted by the
A.W.S. council.

tea is to raise money for the in

was launched recently by the med

Mrs. Louis Seggel will examine
the children to discover their par
ticular handicap, for instance, an
impediment in speech. Individual
training will be given them by
Ruth Hansen, specialist in physio
therapy, Claire Bryson, former
University student, and other Eu
gene women.

ENSURING FINE TOBACCO FOR
Not many smokers have seen a fine tobacco plant in full
bloom, so we show you this picture. Only a few of these
fine plants are permitted to flower and to produce seed.
These carefully selected seeds reproduce the following
year the "Cream of the Crop’’ for your Lucky Strike, for
tobacco must be grown from seed each year. This careful
breeding of fine tobaccos explains why Luckies maintain
the same fine, uniform quality from year to year—so
