There is something' in us which compels us to give our views of the “social crisis” which has en sued over the new ruling against Sunday tea dancing, but it seems unnecessary to do so inasmuch as our views have been expressed al ready in the editorial columns of the Emerald, Nevertheless, our sympathies are all with those women who must now needs rack their brains for something to say to the restless males, who, tea cups on knees, at tempt to hide “that bored feeling.” Dancing was such a handy escape. Also, for the benefit of many freshman women, we w'Uld refer you to our article on this page to day in answer to your question, “How may I get into activities." We can understand your feelings perfectly, and despite what we think a couple of years from now, we don’t envy you much. It isn't easy to "crack the ice” these days, but you will find some secrets in the accompanying article. * * * We became involved in a most interesting conversation the other day in College Ride, which brought out amazing conclusions. For one thing, it was the general consensus of opinion that those congregated, all senior women, had never done much thinking in our entire col lege careers that is, real think ing. Most of those present were prominent figures on the campus, and have received good grades. On first reading, this would sound like a very funny conversa tion, but it was actually sad. For tunately, most of those present are now awakened to the value of thinking. The word itself is rath er confusing, but we mean here a process of mental activity, carried on in an observing, intelligent, and unmuddled manner. Now do you think ? The conversation also led around to a discussion of women’s place ir the world whether it is in the home or outside the home, wheth er we will ever arrive at the posi tions of the Amazons, where the women did; the wooing, the fight ing, and the breadwinning. Wheth er or not women have gained any thing in their modern “freedom” is an interesting question, discussed pro and con constantly. It is a question which faces all women today, which constitutes one of our major economic prob lems, and something that all should give thought. Do women want to be completely emancipat ed, from the old double standard, from their traditional place in so ciety, or wmdd they rather cling to their reputation as “The Weak er Sex?” Recent Marricijje Of Ex-Students Announcement of the marriage of Jane Lee, ex-'3S, to Bradford Collins, ex-’32, was received by Al pha Delta Pi yesterday.

Margaret Ann Smith, president of the organization said yesterday, "Our aim is rot to sell activities wholesale. We urge freshmen women to consider all those fields open to them carefully before sign ing up for a lot of things which will take time and attention that they might not be interested in giving.” Activities are to be entered for the enjoyment of them, according to Miss Smith, for the friendships and contacts made and for service given wholeheartedly to organiza tions on the campus. Every week, if present plans of the AWS are carried out, freshmen will learn of campus activities, traditions, and customs through letters which are being sent to pledge trainers, to the Orides group, and to the halls. This sys tem of informing the freshmen has taken the place of orientation classes which failed to contact al freshmen women in , previous years, it is said. Dorothy Dill is in charge of this part of the nev project. Activity files will be kept, say: Miss Smith, in the AWS office There will be a card for every gir on the campus, on which her ac tivities will be listed. Besides this there will be a file kept for girl: who desire to participate in certaii activities. When a new office is tc be filled or committees appointed these files will be consulted so thai girls interested can be obtained. The theme of the Get Wis< party, which is held every fal term for freshmen women, will b< campus activities this year. Fol lowing the party, sheets on whicl all activities are listed will be dis tributed for checking. These wil also be kept for reference. The keeping of the files, am aiding girls to enter into activities which they really like, is in charge of Elaine Cornish, activity chair man of the AWS. The project is to be carried on with the aid oi activity chairmen in sororities halls, and the Orides.

Comfort Is Now Popular Feature Of Smart Robes By DORRIS HOLMES The cozy glow of an evening fire and the spell of the cold October and November nights are with us. Spooks, goblins, apple pie and pure pumpkin squashes ... all convey the feeling of rejoicing and glad ness for the time to get out the old bathrobe for a quiet evening at home. Now at last the feeling of solid comfort can be enjoyed! But who could possibly enjoy such a feeling in a flimsy negligee or even a cot ton robe of nondescript character? The feeling comes only when one is properly and quietly attired in the latest of woolen lounging robes or pajamas. The college miss will no doubt choose the al together daring military creations now being sold in the better shops. Blaring bugle and the rolling drums can only mean conquests for the new robes. Smart frogs in white and matching braids on plain colored fabrics fasten the chic robes at a high neck line. Not a few are featuring snappy belts on the Sam Brown style. No, colors are not confined to the drab war tone costumes, but are rather of brilliant hues, most generally in plain flannels, with no design or pattern. Full comfortable sleeves are featured in the Chinese Mandarin coats, which also have high neck lines. But in these we find a va riety and riot of colors and pat terns. Embroidered in heavy threads of white, gold and colors, they are suited even to the dain tiest of misses. But glad indeed, we are that fall can at last entitle us to wear these enticing and above all com fortable new lounging robes. Send the Emerald To your friends Subscription rates $2.50 a year. SPECIALISTS IN HAIR STYLING Kramer’s Beauty Salon Phone 1880 "Where college folk buy footwear." Willamette Street T t T* ^Don’t Ever Do Thats”of College Told to Co-eds Eecause most college women should be able to take care of themselves and should not need to be reminded of insignificant de tails, it must be mentioned partic ularly that the following list of “Don’ts” is provided solely for the purpose of those whose “best friends won’t tell ’em.” DON'T be careless of your cam pus appearance. People, constitut ed as they are, will notice that first and probably judge you by | it. DON’T wear high heels on the ! campus, or dressy clothes. Stick j to sports attire, and you’ll be using better taste. DON’T wear earrings. Earrings become a habit, but try to break it. They are inappropriate, as are all kinds of fancy jewelry. DON’T chew gum. It gives one that bovine, stupid appearance. DON’T be too apparent in your pursuit of man. Granted it i3 nec essary, but be subtle, be subtle. DON’T neck in public. It looks awful, and so often it’s your fault more than the man’s. DON’T use too many cosmetics. Eye shadowing is strictly out, and go easy on other pigments. DON’T try to be someone you’re not. If you are large, don’t try to be coy. Artificiality is despised by most young people and easily de tected. JJUiN I be loud, particularly in public places. It makes you con spicuous and brands one as “com mon.” Football games are excep tions, of course. DON’T step out of your class. If you're a freshman, don't try to copy a senior or think yourself her equal. Fundamentally you are, of course, this being a free country, but there are still remnants of the good old days of senior pride, and you must not step on it. DON’T sponge upon your friends or sisters. This is not a kin to the other don’t, but equally important if you want to be liked. DON’T gossip. It’s a mighty great temptation to tell your friends over a coke about what you heard about someone. But you’ll j be respected if you can manage to keep it to yourself. DON'T neglect your shoes. There is nothing which so spoils a girl’s appearance as to be “run down-at-the-heel.” DON’T forget campus traditions.
