WOMEN’S FEATURES MARY LOUTEE EDINGER, Editor En Paassnt - - Editor's Note: This column will contain material by nationally known authors on matters of current campus interest. Today’s article is taken from the booklet, "Gentlemen Preferred,” and is published by permission of Elizabeth Woodward and the Ladies Home Journal. I It’s Up to Dates. Your troubles aren’t over after you’ve made your date. Occasion ally it happens that you gradually become aware that the young lady is bored to tears with your com pany. A rather disconcerting dis covery, but it must be coped with. A sudden revolution of tactics is a sure remedy. If you’ve been de voted and adoring all evening, be come suddenly aloof and indiffer ent, but oh, so very courteous. Many girls are such perverse crea tures that devotion bores them in to oblivion, but cool indifference fascinates them. Strange but true. Another disconcerting situation might be where too keen competi tion looms over the horizon. For example, your cousin Bertie from Washington and Lee takes a sud y den liking to your girl and pro ceeds to rush her off her feet with a Southern accent. Now there’s nothing so pathetic as a jealous and neglected escort. Let Bertie and your girl have their little fling. If it’s a question of love at first sight with them, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway. Or if she’s playing up to Bertie just to give you a little competition you can bring her around by ignoring the competition. Get you another girl. That will spoil her fun. Never break a date unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you take your date so casually the girls will hand it right back to you. If you break an arm or something, don’t stand your girls up. Man fully telephone your girl and break the bad news. It’s nice to offer to arrange another escort for her. She’ll think, “Dear old Bill.” Instead of sitting at home and gnashing her teeth over the new dress and expensive wave she had to dazzle you, and thinking, “That fool Bill. Always gettting the mumps at the wrong time!” itiaivnijt; Auquauiunuyca Officiating at introductions may seem like an awe-inspiring cere mony to you. But if you have enough presence of mind and a few diplomatic tendencies, it will turn out to he just one of those things. The trick is to know which victim should be introduced to which. And that’s easy. You al ways introduce a man to a wo man, to matter how old they are. And the younger to the older when it’s a question of two men or two women. Thus age and the fair sex triumph. Here we go: “Mrs. Lawrence, may I present Mr. Dix?” There’s something like reading off a laun dry list when you say, “Mrs. Law rence, Mr. Dix.” But it goes when things are informal, and introduc tions are wholesale. When you introduce two young people, introduce them as Miss and Mr., although in five minutes they' may be calling each other by their i first names. If it’s introducing people who have just landed to gether in a rumble seat, or are squashed together in an elevator you can drop the Miss and Mr. When two men are introduced they shake hands and say, “How do you do.” When a man is intro duced to a woman, the speech is the same, but she may extend hei hand or not as she wishes. Don't go offering your hand first. Stand when you're being introduced. Catch the name if you can. It’s a cute trick and flatters people out of all proportion to the effort required on your part. But if you didn't catch it, speak up and say, “I’m sorry, but I didn't get your name.” If you’re introducing two people and you really want it to take, You’ll find a most complete stock of all the > New Arrow Shirts “The Arrow Shirt Store" in Eugene Eric Merrell “Clothes for ilea" I Only Heard Perhaps you all heard that loud crash a few weeks ago. Well, just in case you didn’t know exactly what it was, we might inform you that the freshmen descended upon us with rather a loud bang! In fact, we have heard of a few cases where some poor upper class co-eds are staying at home with their knitting nowadays while the fresh men go “dating” with their pre vious "men of the minute.” (We might add that the men aren't do ing so bad by themselves, either.) Just between you and me, did you notice a number of surprised faces at the “Hello” dance last week? Could it be that the blind dates weren't all they were sup posed to be—or, wonder of won ders, did they turn out to be— just too, too marvelous? We heard of a great deal of anxiety and primping on the part of the co-eds, and we do hope it wasn’t all in vain. Some of the women must just naturally have good taste or elsfe they did an over amount of primp ing to look as nicely as they did Saturday night. We particularly noticed Catherine Cummings in a striking two piece knit suit in red with very clever buttons. And Jane chapler looked very stunning in a brown and rust butcher boy dress with brown accessories. By the way, did any one else hear the wave of feminine sighs that rolled by when Joe Renner got upon the platfor into make his charming oration ? We just won dered! This weather has been so much like spring that it isn’t any won der we see so many couples going arm in arm to classes. In fact, some of the freshmen are so touched by this “Spring Fever” (that’s what we have heard it called) that we have seen them walkin around with a daed ex pression on their usually bright and smiling countenances. And then again we may be wrong in our assumptions. Perhaps after all they really don’t know what this college life is all about. And yet we hate to admit that this won derful freshman class is actually as green as the previous ones. We are continuously hearing about the alertness and smartness of these men and women and it really drop a hint so they can get to talking. Just these few hints are enough to make you a master of this cere mony. (To be continued) CAMPUS COSTUMES By MARY GRAHAM Let’s dress! Let's do! We slip into a dark brown, slim-fitting dress of Angora cloth. The neck line comes to the base of the throat where it fastens with two huge bright green buttons. The belt, of twisted green and brown strips of the cloth, is caught into a buckle similar to the buttons, slightly rec tangular and flat. Pulling on sheer chiffon hose of new “dovetone” shade, we slip our feet into a trim pair of brown walking shoes; ties with a cuban heel. Since suede is so popular this season our shoes will be suede. Before the mirror on goes our powder—a light shade since it’s for daytime wear—over a pow’der base which makes our skin look smooth and satiny, hiding all blem ishes. Next comes rouge and lip rouge—also in light colors, care fully blended to the contour of the face to appear as realistically nat ural as possible. After brushing the eyebrows and lashes with a small, soft brush we take the; brush and with it apply a little vaseline to our lashes and brows, putting on only enough to make the hairs look alive—not greasy and smudgy. Running a soft brush through our hair we brush the curls into placer those forming bangs, those forming coronets over our head or those making delightfully soft clusters around or behind the ears. would disillusion us if we found out it was only a rumor. * * If any freshman wonders what class is being held so frequently in the Art Court logio, for your own information we want you to know that it isn’t a class. It is more suiting to call it the “gab corner” since that is the principal idea of the gatherings. Secondary to need ing a cigarette very badly, of course. * * -P Gus Arnheim has caused rather a commotion in the sorority houses this week. We have even heard of a fc wincidents where upper class men have accepted last minute dates—and their pride wasn’t hurt even a little bit. We guess it was because they were so relieved at being asked. This article goes into print before the dance, but we will try to have some choice bits of gossip about this event next week. Don't forget, freshmen, twelve fifteen! Hot under the Collar i I I Whether it’s the heat or the humidity, no amount of tugging and neck-craning will alleviate the tor ment of a shrunken shirt collar.

Price, $1.95 Get Your Arrow Shirts at ERIC MERREL “Clothes for Men” Every hair in place, a tricorne hat of velvet or suede set off by a perky feather is donned—slanting bewitchingly over the right eye. Let's see. We've the dress, our stockings and shoes, our hats, now brown suede gloves and bag. Ev erything? No! Our nails! Horrors! a bright red! A few elapsing minutes and we emerge—groomed to the s mallest detail: Nails, hair, skin, correspon ding color scheme and style in dress and accessories. A faint whiff of Quelques Fleur adds that last subtle touch. We walk jauntily out the door; we walk down the street. Of course, people are noticing us! We do look grand—you see we have achieved the most necessary req uisite of style and beauty—we have overlooked no detail of our dress regardless of its triviality. We look like an Adrian fashion plate. M-m-m, we feel grand! Freshman Urged To Join Y Groups “Most freshman women should be interested in activities,” Kath erine Coleman, president of the campus Y.W.C.A. said yesterday. “And the best way of showing in terest is to sign up at the first of the term for the activities that suit one best, Activities for women make toward a well-rounded edu cation,” she continued, “and if at first, efforts seem thankless, re cognition for work well done will come as a natural consequence in time.” She also stressed the fact that the first year is especially impor tant to launch the girl interested in activities and make her ac quainted with the campus. As to the activities themselves, they are many and varied, ranging from Y.W.C.A. work to the Philomdlete groups. “Those, however, who try activ ities and find they are not inter ested should not continue wasting their time, nor keep out of the positions girls who are,” Miss Cole man concluded. DEAN HOYT TO SPEAK Dean Hoyt of the school of busi ness is to speak this noon at the weekly meeting of the Active club in the Eugene hotel. Hoyt’s topic will be “The Economic Recovery of Japan.” Much of his information was gathered by observation this summer during his trip to the Orient.

Edison Marshall, Ex ’17, Has Story In Liberty Weekly ‘The Marquis Plays Poker’ Is Latest Success of Veteran Writer Edison Marshall, ex-’17, has gained public notice again with his latest published short story, “The Marquis Plays Poker,” in this week's Liberty manazine. Mr. Marshall has published since 1920 over 13 novels that have found instant success with their readers. Along with this, he has written many articles on his vast travel experiences and numerous short stories. The noted writer attended the first short story class that Pro fessor W. F. G. Thacher conducted on this campus. Mr. Thacher has kept in close touch with him since that time. He had had stories published be fore he ever came to college and two years after he left, Mr. Mar shall had gained national recog nition. In 1921 he was awarded the O. Henry prize for his short story, “The Heart of Little Shikara.” Edison Marshall is the highest paid serial writer today, having a contract with the Hearst sindicate to supply them with a number of novels. According to the letter Profes sor Thacher treaeived today, he was just starting for Tibet, Central Asia to gather more material for a new novel. Mr. Marshall has been to Africa, Indo-China, Laosa, lit tle known section of Asia and the North Pole. One reason that critics claim his novels are so successful is that while he is writing them, he lives the story. Celebrate at VICTORY DANCE!

By MARIAN JOHNSON “Kansas City Princess,” all about a couple of gold-diggers out to do some plain and fancy dig ging, is certanly no strain on the intelligence. Joan Blondell, loved by a big, bad, bold gunman, in the person of Robert Armstrong, and Glenda Farrell, Joan’s moral sup port, are responsible for what mer it the picture has. The dialogue is poor, and comedy situations weak. Leave the children at home, i.e., if you have any. The other feature is "Ready for Love,” with Richard Arlen and Marjorie Rambeau.
