Women’s Page of the Oregon Daily Emerald
PEGGY CHESSMAN, Society ANN-REED BURNS, Editor
EDITORIALETTES
JT has long been a tradition that a newly appointed Emerald editor
outline his policies in his first paper. Accordingly, in organizing
a new women's page, it might be permissible for the women’s editor
to usurp the male tradition in her first editorial.
In deference to the purely feminine public to which it should
appeal, this page will not deal extensively with any burning issues,
problems of finance, or affairs of state. Those are for the public news- !
papers, for the Emerald as a whole, to be concerned about. Rather, 1
this page will attempt to interpret interesting bits of news and daily
events, solely for the interest of women.
It will not limit itself to campus trivialities, to descriptions of
teas, fashions, and recent gossip. But neither will it attempt to fill
the place of a daily paper, with critical and detailed consideration of
public affairs. The ideal of this page will be to strike the golden mean
between campus and outside news, judging always in the light of
interest to feminine readers.
This sheet will try to bring the women of the University of Ore
gon nearer to other women throughout the world. Through interviews
With prominent women, through articles about them, through news
of their activities, this page will attempt to present to its readers a
panorama of feminine life at once local, national, and international.
This does not mean that campus life will be ignored. The activi-!
ties of women’s organizations, the social events, the personal little
trifles that add a little zest and fun to college . . . these can never be
omitted from a well rounded women’s paper.
This page will attempt to be something worthwhile for college
Women, to add a little interest and sparkle to feminine events, to lend
to the University of Oregon co-ed an understanding and friendliness
for the others of her sex.
To paraphrase a famous quotation, we may best sum up our aim
by saying, “This is a page of the women, by the women, for the
women.” ANN-REED BURNS.
L^ND is business improving? Just ask the women! Whispers from
the campus indicate that whereas last year a girl had to be ultra
adept at eye-rolling to assure dates each weekend, now she can get
as good results merely gazing at a book in the library. In fact, a sur
vey shows that the weekly number of invitations per female capita
average 3.2 instead of the former 1.1.
) We wonder whether credit is due to increasing prosperity—what
With more students and more money in circulation—or to the increas
ing pulchritude of Oregon co-eds.
In regard to the question, Roberta Moody says: "Better financial
conditions on the part of men are a great labor-saving device reliev
ing the co-ed from the necessity of scheming to concoct new modes
of coquetry.”
Perhaps some of you girls with an eye for fraternity pins think
that a square sign on the highway symbolizes Delta Tau Delta; that
a diamond shaped sign means Phi Gamma Delta; that an octagon
means Sigma Nu. Not a bit of it. Frat pins aren't as important as
you think. The highway isn't plastered with signs in’ their honor.
Instead, a square sign on' the highway means “caution”; a diamond,
'‘slow”; an octagon, “stop”; a round, "railroad crossing.”
All this in the interest of safety. It seems that formerly, all the
highway signs being the same shape whether they said "No Parking"
or "Bridge Out,” a motorist would stop to read the "No Parking"
sign—and speed past the “Bridge Out" ... to find himself a little
later sitting in the middle of a river, pulling minnows out of his
pockets.
Whether motorists who speed by too fast to read the letters can '
take time to figure out the geometric shape of the sign remains for
the traffic department to find out.
Meanwhile Dave Morse, one of the more prominent campus driv- 1
ers, says, "Signs ? I haven't seen any yet.” 1
f A PITFALL lies ahead for all' Oregon boosters who look witheringly
upon our sister state to the south and loudly prclaim that the Good
Lord takes care of the irrigation of Oregon, and thut we d not need
any expensive watering system. Do you realize that nearly one-fourth
of the cultivated area of Oregon is contained in irrigated farms? Of
the 4,172,000 acreas under cultivation, 925,000 acres are artificially
watered. A point for Oregonians to remember when getting into an
argument with the room mate from San Jose.
Frances Rothwell says, “Evidently Oregon isn't as wet as you
think.”
_ :
VWHAT with all the student marriages this year, it is becoming quite
T the style to take up housekeeping and get an education at the
same time. If this continues, we may eventually have coeducational
living organizations as well as colleges.
Margaret Weed Hakanson, one of the elect, says, "There's nothing
like racking your brain in your eleven o'clock class to plan lunch for
a hungry man.”
Employ men t Head
Extends Thanks
For Cooperation
“I most heartily congratulate
Eugene citizens and the University
faculty for their splendid coopera
tion in securing jobs for the stu
dents this year,” declared Miss
Janet Smith, head of the employ
ment office in the Y hut, yester
day. She said that unemployment
was not quite so prevalent this
September as it was last year be
cause of the 70 S.E.R.A. jobs of
that month.
"During September 99 odd jobs
averaging a dollar each were given
out. Since only (521 jobs in all
were to be had last fall, this year
so far shows an employment in
crease,” Miss Smith said. Even
in rush week 25 part time positions
were used. The 101 permanent jobs
given in September will continue
through this term and probably
until June.
Miss Smith stressed the fact that
although the city and faculty back
ing has meant a lot, the need for
I more jobs is still great.

Oregon Coeds Reveal Secret
Aims — Speaking Generally
By HENRIETTA HORAK
✓"GENERALLY speaking, women are generally speaking, but when it
comes to answering a simple question, and they are conscious of
the fact that it might be printed, these very same generally speaking
women short circuit questions most frightfully, and all the kings horses
and all the kings men cannot persuade them, generally speaking, to
speak generally.
Pardon our Steinmetz accent, under whose influence we seem to
have fallen, but after an afternoon of generally speaking with Oregon
co-eds on the general subject “What do you want to be when you grow
up,” for the benefit of the intelligensia “What use do you intend to

Before going ahead with the am

let it be understood, although most
of the co-eds evaded the question
“for publication” that marrigage

of these modern college women.

Peggy has chosen a second best
aspiration—a society writer on a
really big newspaper- preferably
the New York Times. Peggy’s rea
sons for favoring a “big” paper are
that she would like to report ac
tivities that really are social, and
not the “Droppy Inny” functions of
small towns.
Alma Lou Herman will attempt
to uplift downtrodden humanity,
through the medium of individual
personnel case work. Understand,
it is to be social case work. For

Margery Kissling wants above
all to be a personnel manager of a
large business concern. Margery
has already had wide experience in
committee work on AWS activi
ties, which should prove invaluable
in her future work.
Eetty Allen, of the “little black
car with the red streak” fame has
set for herself the following: three
years of teaching, three years of
travel around the world, teaching
again, and with it— historical re
search, production of historical
films for secondary schools, writ

cal textbook for secondary schools.
And Betty is not twins!
There are scores of other co-eds
who plan to set the world on fire,
uproot humanity, and enter into
practically all the fields now open
to men, but since there is such a
thing as a 'deadline” and an end to
al good things—and besides, a
broken typewriter ribbon — that’s
all there isn't any more!

NOTICE
Because of a delay occasioned
by the recent change in office
of women’s editor today’s page
appears on a different day than
is customary. Henceforth the
women's page will be a regular
weekly feature appearing in the
Thursday issue of the Emerald.
CAMPUS
LOTHES
11 lUM'S the word! And how true
is this little expression on
this particular season when huge
yellow 'mums aften decorate the
shoulder or coat lapel of every
Oregon girl. And do they go nicely
with the new lames that are being
shown for those dinner and cock
tail dates ?
Lame has come to the fore this
season—gold and silver tunics over
colored velvet skirts. Made on
straight lines with the usual high
collar efect and bizarre decorations
in the line of buttons and clever
belts, these dresses will excite the
heart of any co-ed!
Speaking of colored velvet—this
is far from the subject of dinner
dresses but we must tell you.
Lounging pajamas are being
shown in colored velvets—some
caterial looks just like speckled
trout—spots, in various sizes and
shades. Sailor trousers, big full
legs and fitting snugly around the
hips; the blouses follow the Rus
sian trend—braided button-holes,
and full sleeves caught into a tight
cuff. Really awfully tricky for an
evening by the fireside!
Getting back to street dress. The
gypsy scarf that has decorated
sports clothes for quite some time
lately is now being used to add
that touche to dinner dresses. High
necked dresses of a solid color are
getting that contrast by the add
ing of a bright colored gypsy tri
cornered scarf. Twisted belts of
the same material as the scarf
makes a clever ensemble, as well
as a cheerful one, on dark dresses.
First the Russian, then the gyp
sy; one wonders what group or
what peoples we will pattern our
fashions aft": next. Even Eve has
been copied from—costume jewel
ry for the smart woman. Rings
made of combined gold-spun fig
leaves; earrings resembling fig
leaves curved to follow the nie of
:he ear. Even pins for the hair to
tuck back those stray curls are
fashioned after leaves, giving the
effect that some naughty breeze
laid the leaf there in a moment of
playfulness.

Prominent College Woman Is
Phi Theta Upsilon President
By MARGE PETSCH
\ CCOPJDING to those persons who consider themselves “in the
know,’’ there are several means through which one may gain
popularity; namely, money, attractive appearance, or personality. This
assumption may, or may not be true, but it stands to reason that a
girl possessed of an engaging personality, as well as intelligence, is
destined for a prominent position among her associates.
On the Oregon campus there are few women who have been more
prominent in activities since their freshman year than Marygolde
Hardison, senior in sociology and present possessor of the Gerlinger
cup. From the first year of her college life, Marygolde has been a leader
in women’s organizations, she is a
member of Chi Omega. The most
recent honor paid her was the
presidency of Phi Theta Upsilon,
upperclass women’s honorary, to
which she was elected Tuesday.
While a freshman, Marygolde
was president of Thespians, and
was a Kwama when a sophomore.
She was chairman of frosh council
ors in 1933, and was assistant
chairman of the A.W.S. carnival
two years ago, while only a sopho
more. One of her finest contribu
tions as an executive was as chair
man of the A.W.S. vocational con
ference last spring, the most nota
ble women’s event of the year.
Marygolde is vice president of
the senior class, and was a mem
ber of the committee in charge of
the student body membership drive
this fall. She has been a member
of numerous other committees dur
ing her college life as well as hav
k
ing been a good student. Before
entering the University of Oregon,
Marygolde was graduated from the
Jefferson high school in Portland,
her home.
When questioned as to her hob
bies, Miss Hardison said, “I believe
I enjoy reading more than any
thing else.” And surely one may
believe this statement after talk
ing with her. A real enthusiasm
over literature, coupled with a re
markable knowledge of authors
and their books, makes Marygolde
a most entertaining conversation
alist. ‘‘I am also very intrested in
people, and thoroughly enjoy them,
particularly freshmen,” she re
marked.
Aside from these more intellect
ual pursuits, Miss Hardison plays
golf and swims, thereby rounding
out a most interesting personality.

rhen after they’ve won another
>ne or two, the men like Butch
VIorse, Maury Van Vliet, and
JYank Michek, who, like on any
earn, actually are only a few
lotphes above the others but hap
pen under the circumstances to
stand out from them, will start
getting plenty of publicity and
mention for star rating.
* * *
Along with Van and Butch, get
ting their usual share of the glory
for the Beaver upset, a couple of
new faces flashed on the honor roll
in the person of Boscoe Carter,
who turned in a whizz of a game
at guard, and of course Booter
Lamp Walker, whose toe gave the
VVebfoots that extra three count
ers.
A man that doesn’t seem to draw
any too much mention who really
deserves it is Con Fury, who
played almost every minute of
every game so far and turned in
the always dependable play which
really keeps a team in the running.
Roundup Terjy was another man
who turned in some of that always
dependable play and it was he
who crashed an Orangeman out of
Van’s path when the flashy ball
carrier went over for Oregon’s
touchdown.
STAR DUST
J^AST week's papers announced
the approaching wedding of
Lew Ayres and Ginger Rogers, the
popular dancing partner of Fred
Astaire in “The Gay Divorcee.”
Lew Ayers, who began his movie
career in “All Quiet on the West
ern Front,” was divorced from Lo
la Lane last year. This is also
Ginger's second matrimonial ven
ture. •
It has been some time since
Hollywood has had opportunity to
attend a formal church wedding.
Most movie couples prefer jour
neying to Palm Springs or Los
Vegas and routing out some justice
of the peace in the wee hours.
The Little Church of the Flow
ers, where the wedding is to take
place, and from which the late
Russ Columbo was buried, is a
quaint, beautiful shrine in the
heart of Hollywood’s most exclu
sive residential district. This
church was the scene in 1927 of
the most elaborate wedding in the
history of the village, when Vilma
Banky and Rod LaRocque took
their vows before every important
person in the motion picture in
dustry. The streets outside were
jammed with fans and the church
yard strewn with flowers. The
coming marriage of Rogers and
Ayres will probably rival the rec
ord of Banky-LaRoque in elab
orateness of weddings.
I suppose you know Marlene
Dietrich’s new picture will be “Ca
price Espagnole,” and she will have
Joel McCrea for her leading man.
Contrary to reports of a split in
the ranks, Von Sternberg will
wield the megaphone.
I wonder what kind of a team
Dietrich and McCrea will make ?
Many co-eds who have seen “The
Richest Girl in the World” will tell
you they don’t know about Mar
lene, but that Joel is a perfect
team in himself . . . No doubt the
men feel likewise about la Diet
rich.
Max Reinhardt’s recent produc
tion of “Midsummer Night’s
Dream” in the Hollywood Bowl
drew all the great and near great
in the movie industry. Boxes were
occupied by producers and stars,
all in their most formal attire. Af
ter the performance in which screen
actors had most of the parts, Jo
seph Schenck entertained the Ger
man director with a formal recep
tion. Mr. Reinhardt obliged the
cameramen with a picture of him
self between Jean Harlow and
Norma Shearer.
It’s a Swell Idea!
Share the joys of your college days with the folks at
home—
They will enjoy reading your paper and they will feel
closer to you by being able to do so—
They are interested in the activities and the life sur
rounding your school just as is every loyal Oregon stu
dent.
Subscribe now to the Emerald for them and a copy of
the paper will be mailed to them daily.
