Exchange of Desserts
Occupies Premier Place
On Calendar Ecents
University social functions seem
to lack a stimulus so far this term.
Few exchange dinners have been
scheduled since the return from
the Christmas vacation and events
on the social calendar will be few
until the latter part of the month,
at which time living organizations
will begin to sponsor their winter
formats. However, this weekend
will see the Orides formal and the
following Tuesday Mu Phi Epsilon
will sponsor a tea.
Exchange dinners and desserts
during the current week consist of
Plii Delta Theta for Alpha Chi
Omega. Alpha Gamma Della for
Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Upsilon
for Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Sigrna
Kappa for Delta Gamma, Delta
Tau Delta for Kappa Kappa Gam
ma, Pi Beta Phi for Theta Chi, Al
pha Tau Omega for Alpha Gamma
Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon for
Chi Omega.
Alpha Omicron Pi pledges were
hosts Monday evening at a dinner
for pledges of Sigma Kappa and
members of Alpha Phi entertained
Tuesday evening at a formal ban
quet for their pledges.

Evening! the most opportune
time for college sirens to look rav
ishing and conveniently snare an
unsuspecting male, offers countless
accomplices in the oldest of wo
manly arts! Cowl necks cut deep

velvet wraps, huge clips on the
shoulders of your evening gowns
where you formerly pinned your
corsages, deep sauarc backs.
Many were the styles seen at
last week-end’s garden party.
Dark-haired Jeanne Quisenberry

Tlio recent reestablishment of the traditions court by tlie ex
ecutive council has been :i breeding; place l'or argument. Two fac
tions thor' seem to be, on t It is disputed matter those who shout
loudlv that "traditions better be enforced, there isn't enough school
spirit in tins joint nnvwav" and those who remark condescendingly
from the depths of Plato, that traditions are a hangover of infancy
and are useless and absurd in nn institution of higher learning.
Now while we, as coeds of the TTniversitv. do not wholly unit '
with the rah-rahs who vein their school snirit into the disdainful
ears of the disapproving, wo do feel a yearning toward the enforce
ment of traditions. Not von understand, the knock-down-drag-out
variety of customs, but the friendly pleasant kind that bring back a
aurg" of hapov memories and exciting times.
We tike the idea of junior weekend, the homecoming bonfire, the ;
immunity of tlie Oregon seal, (tie hello walk Wo like the senior
bench and the upperclassmen cords, as symbols of the class distinc
tion which, honor the higher student rathe'’ than abusing the lower.
We even though wo suv il ginge-lv, with an ear to complaints
that it's >mt a coed'- affair favor the revival of green lids. They do
not impose any great hardship on the freshmen, and they add pres
tige to the other throe clas os. Putting aside the ltd is a symbol of
accomplishment, hist, as. later, is the donning of the can and gown.
Ask any former TTniversitv of California woman about her co’
leee days and she will mention the east steps of the old North
hall, on which coeds were never allowed to trod. Pong ami she has
forgotten the past definite of "faire" and that “x-emmls-mtnus-b
ovor-two-a-plns-nr-minus-the-sauni e-root-of-b-srmared - minus -four -
ac-over two-a " But she remembers the forbidden steps and ttie
rare with which she avoided them, even though it meant being late
to class.
And so with all the college graduates of yesterday. It is tho
traditions thrv remember; and with the thought of their college
customs surges an indefinable thrill that same feeling of loyalty
and companionship as when the band bursts into tho alma mate"
song.
Useful? Perhaps not. But if traditions do no harm, if they are
symbols of a happy four years and a college life of friendship, they
serve their purpose.
Let us have traditions.
Beu ure! Blind
Dates Approach
There are blind dates-and then1
there are BLIND dates. In case
there is any doubt as to what this
term means, a blind date is a sort
of sight unseen agreement on the
part of two people to go out to
gether at a certain specified time.
Generally arrangements are made
by a third party, whose efforts are
later rewarded by a sour smile or
disgusted look from the party
helped when he or she gets home
from the date.
Experienced veterans in the mat
ter of blind dates know pretty
well when to say “yes” or when to
say: “I'm so sorry but I'm going
to be very busy that whole week
end.” They know that “He comes
of a very good family and is quite
a brain storm" really means that
he can't dance, is peculiar looking,
and has never had more than two
or three dates in his life. On the
other hand, blind dates with visi
tors from other colleges, weekend
guests from the big city nearby,
and newcomers to the school us
ually have a fighting chance of
turning out quite successfully.
Accepting blind dates is a won
derful teacher. Of what to do in
unusual situations. If the date ar
rives and is reported to be half a
head shorter than the gill with
whom he is to go out, it is cus
tomary for her to frantically
search the house for an available
girl who is short enough and to
send her downstairs in her name.
In case this procedure is not pos
sible she usually suggests a show
—above all, she keeps away from
dances and conspicuous places.
To keep up appearances no mat
ter how badly the blind date turns
out is an art which one acquires
after a great deal of practice. If
the “date” has blossomed forth in
a green shirt, pink tie, with his
hair slicked back and his newly
shined shoes smelling to the skies,
one can return the curious stares
of acquaintances with an air which
plainly savs: "He is an individual
ist and doesn’t care about such
common things as proper attire.”

Women’s Business Field
Shows New Occupations
And Expansion for Old
Most of us are grasping at straws these days. Women, just as well
as men, are trying desperately to pluck feathers out of the air with
which to feather their nests in lieu of the proverbial rainy day.
And for this reason both men and women are looking for new
fields of endeavor; new realms of air, so to speak, where there aie a
few more unclaimed feathers floating about. It would seem, in the case
of women, that our fields are almost exhausted. Women are really not
trail-blazers, at least not in any such capacity as are men. While we
have a few such daring women as Amelia Karhart, Frances Perkins,
and others of their fearless caliber, t
we usually allow men to try out
the ventures first. This is not out
of anv particular cowardice, hut
more from habit or custom.
After the war, however, women
decided to “kick over the traces."
They had been secretly and some
times onenlv vearning to do so for
many v"®rs before. But widows
had a right. to support themselves,
and it proved a good opening.
Moreover in the absence of men,
women tmd entered business, and
had proven that they had untold
capacities along this line. Women
became doctors, lawyers, business
executives, private secretaries, sci
entists. laboratory technicians, and
absolutely refused to grant that
man could best them any place ex
cept in purely manual labor.
This story is old to us. And now
we are faced with the need of new
and different jobs. These, we be
lieve, are not easy to find, and so
women must look more to develop
ing the jobs they already have.
Secretaries, hundreds of them out
of work, might well learn to be
corresponding secretaries for eith
er large business concerns or for
radio net-works. Girls raised in a
background of comparative wealth
and who find themselves in need of
a job, will discover that to work
as a social secretary for a socially
prominent woman will satisfy her
far more than competitive jobs.
One position which few women
study to fill adequately is that of
a traveling companion. Many older
women these days, fewer than in
1928 of course, look constantly for
voung women who can be interest
iner companions as well as edu
cated.
One of the most unusual jobs
which women can train for is per
sonnel work. Many girls say that
thev would like to enter such a
field when they graduate from col
lege, but while a student they take
no courses which will adequately
eouip them to meet the numerous
classes of people which will enter
their lives in such a job. If you
like people, if you find that it is
easy for them to confide in you, if
vou are interested in helping them,
take background courses for work
as a personnel director in a large
department store. But guard
against the position if you take
your friends’ troubles too seriously.
It is a girl with ingenuity to be
different, and with the patience to
develop an engaging personalitv
who will succeed in the world of
tomorrow^. Newspapers still need
•rood women’s material, magazines
feature home economics depart
ments and paees on home archi
tecture. There's opportunity for
women who dare to work hard on
something no one else ever thought
about.
-so Jar as we know tobacco was
first used about 400 years ago
—throughout the years what one thing’ has
given so much pleasure..so much satisfaction
Early Colonial planters
shipped hundreds of
pounds of tobacco to
England in return for
goods uud supplies.
^ 1935, Lioci .r * Myers Tobacco Co,
They came looking for gold
... but they found tobacco
... and tobacco has been like gold ever since!
The tobacco raised in Virginia and exchanged
for goods helped the struggling colonists to get a
foothold when they came to America.
Later on, it was tobacco that helped to clothe
and feed Washington’s brave army at Valley
Forge.
Today it is tobacco that helps—more than any
other commodity raised in this country—to pay
the expense of running our Government.
In the fiscal year 1933-3k the Federal
Government collected $435,000,000 from,
the tax on tobacco. Most of this came
from cigarettes — six cents tax on every
package of twenty.
Yes, the cigarette helps a lot—and it certainly
gives men and women a lot of pleasure.
Smokers have several reasons for liking
Chesterfields. For one thing, Chesterfields
are milder. For another thing, they taste
better. They Satisfy.
