This year’s dance is to be held Saturday, April 7, at the Co coanut Grove. A new way of selecting models for the fashion parade has been adopted. Announcement of this method and the candidates will appear in the Emerald early next week. Caroline Card is general chair man of the affair. Assisting her are Nancy Suomela, model selec tion; Althea Peterson, retail showing; Marylou Patrick, fa vors; Edith Peterson Holmes, i tickets; Mary Teresi, floor ar rangement; Velma Hamilton, mer chandise; Alice Wedemeyer, pro grams; Caroline Hahn, patrons and patronesses; and Peggy Chessman, publicity. “Patronise Emerald advertisers.’ AWS All-Campus Carnival Will Be Held on Mareh 31 Mary Snider to Hoad Committee For Annual Affair at University Plans for the annual A.W.S. all campus carnival, to be held March 31 are under way, and a director ate has been appointed: Mary Sni der has been named chairman, and assisting her with plans for the af fair are: Pearl Base, assistant chairman: Helen Wright, features; Henriette Horak, publicity; Jo sephine Waffle, finance; Ann-Reed Burns, raffles; Gail McCredie, booths; Ebba Wicks, tickets; Reva Herns, promotion; Janet McMic ken, dancing; Ruth McClain; Bet ty Lou Lundstrom, cleanup; Mar jory Will, secretary, and Virginia Howard, food. The circus-carnival, which will also be open to the townspeople, will be held in the Igloo, and be run on the order of a state fair. There will be booths, where one may play roulette, throw balls at the “nigger’s head,’’ and enjoy other entertainments characteris tic of an old-time carnival. Prizes and knicknacks within the range of the college students’ allowance will be on hand, and will range from balloons, to ear-rings. There were no high-heels on display in previous years, but since they have enjoyed such popularity on the campus recently, high-heels and ear-rings may be among the nov elties. There will be dancing on the main floor of the court, raffles for those who have the gambling itch, and prizes offered by the Eugene merchants. Booths with concessions will be managed by men’s and living or ganizations, and cups wall be awarded to the managers of the most attractively decorated booth and the one which takes in the most money. Mary Snider, general chairman for the carnival, urges all students to begin saving stray nickles and dimes, for those coins will be most popular at the carnival although gold and silver coins and even pa per currency will be accepted with pleasure. However, no checks will be cashed! Sunshine Warm, Mercury Down9 'Coeds, BewareV All that glitters is not gold— and all that’s spring-like is not spring. “These sparkling days are treacherous,” stated Dr. Marian Hayes, assistant University phy sician, yesterday, when asked to outline some general health prin ciples for the University coed. She went on to explain the danger of the sunshine which looks warm, although the mercury is quite low. Girls are apt to wear too light clothes, thus becoming chilled, Dr. Hayes said firmly, gazing at an ominous looking blue card on her desk. And then, brightening, she explained that she approved thor oughly of spring clothes, but that girls should wear coats over them. The campus has been “surpris ingly healthy” this term, com mented Dr. Hayes. “You can see for yourself how empty the wait ing room is,” she laughed. "The cold epidemic which occurs about this time every year is much less severe this term than ordinarily.” In order «to continue that rec ord, coeds should observe the or dinary health principles. “You know what I’m always preaching in my hygiene classes,” she said. “Plenty of sleep, three meals a day ...” But there’s more than that. It’s still too cold to sit on the damp ground. And coeds shouldn’t ride in rumble seats these days, it’s too cold. “Better to walk home, than ride in a rumble,’ added Dr. Hayes, with a twinkle.

Princess Esma of Constantino ple is the first and only woman ! journalist of Turkey. She has in terviewed in her work the Queen j of Afghanistan, a Russian minis ; ter, a princess of the Balkans and ■ many men prominent in foreign politics and finance. In speaking of American women j she stated: "They are terribly neat and very well dressed. They have many | rights, but I don’t think that they | are happy. In my talks before i them I have found them puzzled ] about their freedom; their so called emancipation. -» "Women should have children i and a home. I've always felt that I it could be put off for a while. I’m not at all sure of that now. What | the American women need, all of i them, is marriage.’’ In marked sentiment with Ches ter Rowell in his address here Wednesday, Princess Esma stated: “Why haven’t I seen the great democracy of your country? I believe that is the greatest disap pointment I have experienced. We have a strong class system in my country. I hoped to find at least the rudiments of an Utopia in America, but you are as bad as Europe or the East.” The Princess Esma is the great granddaughter of Abdul Kadir, the Algerian sultan whom the French captured in 1847 after 17 years of fighting in northern Africa, He became leader of the Algerian tribes in 1830, when they made their first stand against Napoleon II. Abdul Kadir was decorated by Queen Victoria, the Czar of Rus sia, and the German Kaiser.

INIQUITOUS BYSTANDER By LOTTIE LOVEM I ' Dear Girlies: In writing my views on how you should conduct your love affairs— scalp hunting campaigns, as it were—I want you to know that I do so with the best possible expe rience as my background and with forty-seven scalps hanging on a string on my wall. Now, you little dears, the first step is to make the light of your life notice you. The best way to accomplish this is to run in front of his automobile—if he hasn’t a car he isn’t worth bothering with —and scream loudly as the car runs over you. He will immediate ly leap out of the snappy roadster —that is if he is a gentleman, and if he isn’t you can just leave him for me!—and gather you in his arms. Ah! girlies, if you don’t know the bliss of being clasped in a pair of perfect thirty-six arms, you haven’t lived. The rapture of it—but I'm straying from my topic. Sigh when he gathers you up, look pained even if you have seven broken ribs. He will un doubtedly ask you out to dinner, but don't let that fool you into forgetting that you are supposed to be hurt. Make him think you are suffering intense pain. Make him take you to a hospital. By that time he will probably have noticed that your eyes are blue, and will have fallen for you in a big way. Then if he can speak a word he will ask you again to go to dinner. Now is the time for you to as sert that marvelous personality that you have been saving for just such a moment. Look him square ly in the eye and say, ‘‘Sir, I’ll have you know that I’m a Kappa, and don’t believe in dining out with men unless my best friend can come too.” (You have no idea how that will make him love you all the more.; If he hasn’t succumbed by this time, my sweet chicks, he will probably realize that he is dealing with a person of superior mental ity. Now is the time to say, “My hero, take me where the daisies cover a country lane. We’ll make love while the sun shines, we’ll make hay while it rains.” What did you say? You’ve tried all this before—well, all I can say is that I am' deeply hurt that you didn’t say so before! I hope you choke, my little sweets— LOTTIE LOVEM.

Miss Angel appears as a dancer traveling to take a position as a dancer in Constantinople. The picture begins with her boarding the train, nearly starving.

He gets the boss mad by argu ing with him and said boss puts him on Miss Lonely Hearts’ col mun, “Advice to the Lovelorn.” Noting an opportunity, on the first day he answers the letters with wisecracks and figures he'll be bounced. But worse luck, advertising in creases and the column proves un ! believably popular. It is syndi cated widely and Tracy becomes big shot. Gets into mixup with racketeers, but it all comes out all right. Customary Tracy wisecracking stuff.
