It’s This Way By Marge Petseh If anyone ever deserved the honor of an offiee, Peg “Kxeuse My-Crute.h” Chessman is worthy of the chairmanship of the lane and Marriage lectures which start here tonight. e 11 * Peggy has covered the lectures since her freshman year for the Kmerald, and has taken great pains to get all of the valuable in formation before the campus pub lic. Her example is a sterling one to all future Love and Marriage reporters, and her knowledge of what ought to be said and what will be said is reliable! Peg in forms us that this year’s series is about to be “better than ever,” and exceptionally helpful. It’s a good indication * * * The air is seething quietly lvilh dynamite—or is it electric ity! Campus politics, still in an embryonic state, are about to have a premature birth from the looks of things. The surprising part of it all is that they come in a clever disguise this year— exchange desserts. So you wo men (don't feel hurt now) who are suddenly amazed by unpre cedented popularity, just put your tongue in your cheeks and whisper “politics!” It is with all sincerity that we assure our readers that we have no desire to resurrect last year’s questionnaire regarding- men — even though some women think it should be run again to ascertain new results. For those over-critical gals, however, who find that men lack “The Common Decencies,” we wish to cite an experiment tried hy a reporter at Ohio State. This young man, tired of hearing wo men expound on the unmanner liness of men, stood beside a much-used door on the campus and opened it for everyone that approached. Only two out of ev ery 15 coeds thanked him, while only one out of every 15 men failed to do so. * * * Orchid of the week goes to Mrs. Walter Hembree, chairman of the scholarship loan board of the Oregon Federation of Women’s Clubs. Mrs. Hembree joined the hoard If years ago, and since 1925 has been its chairman. Ea ger to help needy young women to secure an education, possessed of a charming personality, and a splendid organizer, Mrs. Hem bree has been a most successful leader. During the 28 years in which the Oregon Federation of Women have been offering their loans, 1438 girls have secured aid. Prominent Oregon women who are members of the board are Mrs. O. N. Rilyeu, Mrs. I.utie Cake, Mrs. S. O. Dun bar, Mrs. Myra Glines, Mrs. W. .T. Kerr, Miss Messie McGregor, Mrs. G. G. Root, Mrs. .1. Van Zante, and Mrs. W. S. Nicholson.

Secret Out The engagement of Miss Helen Neal, ’3(i, to James Gilmore was announced last week. Zeta Tau Alpha Takes Honors At Coed Capers By RUTH LAKE A very realistic group masquer ading as Pansy Yokum, Pappy, and Little Abner, Ruth Martin, Wil hemina Gerot, and Anita Kenny, respectively, of Zeta Tan Alpha, walked off with the prize for the most clever and original costumes at Coed Capers, held last night at Gerlinger hall. Last year the first prize was also won by a ZTA girl, Margaret Mortensen, who came as a robot. Second prize of one dollar went to three very worn out look ing hoboes, Jane Greenwood, Doris Russi, and Mary Holmes. Dorothy Burgess and Mona Faus, as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, received hon orable mention. A shadow play featuring tropic love in the Stew A-Fella-Alive tribe, given by the sophomores, won the prize for the best skit of the evening. jviemDers or me winning sku were: Marjorie Gearhart, Barbara Fairhurst, Jane Lagassee, Dorothy Dickinson, Phyllis Smith, and Katherine Duffy. The skit was di rected by Vivian Emery. The faculty, arrayed in tuxedos, top hats, and nonchalantly swing ing canes, did a background dance, while Faye Knox, of the physcial edu action department, did a spirited tap dance. Senior Cops were kept busy from the time they appeared on the program doing a cnorus number to the accompaniment of Jack Mc Carthy’s ten piece orchestra, boasting of their prowess, until they clashed madly to dislodge an intruder from a rafter high above the floor. Henriette Horak manfully climbed the rafters and struggled bravely, only to be defeated and made to retreat. The villain was promised safe conduct, and left with a rush, hiding his face. Rumor hath it that it was Cosgrove La Barre, senior in business ad. Indians, hula girls, with the real grass skirt plus the wiggle, volup tuous Oriental houris, dashing Cos sack generals, tramps, couples from the gay ninties, and little girls on roller skates, strode, wiggled, minced and glided around the room to pass before the keen eyes of the faculty who sat en throned on a platform in stately dignity, which they were not able to maintain for long.

To Resume in Fall These concerts have been under the auspices of Tau Delta Delta, underclass music honorary, and the Associated Women Students. According to Brandon Young, chairman of the programs, they hope to have this sort of enter tainment again next fall term. Members of Tau Delta Delta have requested suggestions for the type of music and entertainment en joyed by those who are interested. As there has been excellent tal ent presented on these programs it is thought that they should be of pleasure and value to those who enjoy good music. Programs Offer Talent The following four programs have been presented: on January 5, a Bach recital was given by Kenneth Clair, blind organist. On January 12, the Presbyterian choir, under the direction of Etta Pear son, sang several group numbers with solos by members of the choir. Margery Scobert played se lections on the piano, and Mrs. J. E. Stevens gave several organ so los. Byrle Ramp played several pi ano solos on January 19, and Leata R e e t z , accompanied by Mary Steele, sang several solos. January 26, the program consisted of Lora Teshner Ware, instructor of cello on the campus, Robert Gould, or ganist, and Brandon Young, enter tained.

(?) romped boisterously around in the junior skit, which was laid in a bar room of the gay ninties, while Carmen Curry wailed "She’s Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage" in competition with the protracted sobs of the gentlemen habitues. Flash! Norma Lyons, senior in music, who happens to wear her hair like a boy, came dressed in that guise, and was thrown out three times by Senior Cops, who refused to believe that she was a girl. She said she wouldn’t have minded it so much, but the last time she got poked in the nose by some zealous member of the audience. Send the Emerald to vour friends Subscription rates $2.50 a year.

But last night was the first time within the past few years that a man has spent the entire evening midst Oregon’s bevy of feminine grace and beauty. Shortly after dinner Wagner prepared for the escapade. From the Tri Delt house was borrowed a short gingham dress, a pair of brown and white saddle oxfords, a pair of half socks and a polo coat. "The cops met us at the door as we went in. They gave me the once over and I smiled very sweet ly as I passed by,” Wagner re lated. “We went in and all the girls were sitting around on the floor in front of the stage so we proceeded to wade right through and sit down in the middle of j them. One girl was dressed as a hula girl and didn’t have much on,” the invader laughed. Mrs. Macduff and four or five other women came on the stage dressed in tuxedos and did a "hotcha" number, he continued. The sophomore skit had as its locale the heart of a barbaric island. It was all enacted behind a white curtain and was done in shadow pantomime. A shipwrecked sailor was stranded on the island and fell in love with one of the native women. “We danced and had a swell time, taking turns leading. Two or three times I was gazed at suspiciously by the senior cops,” he said. “I don't see how the girls stand so much gooey makeup all over !

Wagner nearly froze to death walking home in such scanty at- j tire. ‘‘I don’t see how the women stand the cold weather,” he re marked. Huskies and (Continued from page three) Webfoots at Peak Today’s drill will be short and snappy. The players are in top mental and physical condition now, Hobson thinks, and he is taking no chances on them going stale. Indication are that McArthur court will be thronged to the guards for both tilts, with attend ance expected to parallel that at the recent Oregon State game. The Webfoots have played before well over 30,000 spectators already this year, and with the colorful type of ball they and the Huskies present, this weekend’s games cannot help but thrill. For the Grenadiers to bump Washington twice would be with out precedent, for not once in the last ten years has Oregon managed to trip the Huskies in more than one game a season. Usually the northern basketeers capture all four.
