It’s This Way By Marge retsch He hesitate to call any author ity (?) on the carpet for an oc casional misstep, but we find that in the case of yesterday morning’s Emerald, Tex Thomason jumped to conclusions far beyond the very ob vious facts! =p * « In the STAGE OF THE WORLD, Tex ventured the statement that although he “did not hold the tenet that women's place is in the home, he did hold that her place is def initely out of politics.’’ Going on he asserted that none of our wo men politicians in the senate have done anything and that they give no promise of doing anything. All this is very well, for the three sin gle examples of women in the sen ate. But how about our other na tional women figures, Mr. Thoma son? We hate to embarrass some of our contemporary male politicians by drawing their attention to the brilliant activities of Ruth Bryan Owen, a United Statcss ambassa dor. The high calibre of intelli gence slie has shown in her posi tion in politics is really rare. So is that of Josephine Koche, recipient of the National Achievement award and prominent in the United States treasury department, Nellie Tayioe Ross, former governor of Wyo ming, is another of onr most able lady politicians. She’s now at the head of the United States mint. * * * We desire to point out, in the main, that the chief fault in Mr. Thomason's observations was that he based all of his calculations on the activities of three women. He didn’t even take into consideration the women politicians of Oregon. He completely forgot Mrs. Bea trice Saclrett, now a respected member of the board of higher ed ucation, governor’s secretary for two terms, and the outstanding woman in Oregon’s political set-up. He overlooked the widely known Mrs. Abigal Dunniway and Mrs. Dye. He apparently hadn't heard of Mrs. Dorothy Lee, an able mem ber of the Oregon house of repre sentatives. Hanna Martin, also a state representative, didn't occur to him. I’robalily the most unthinking j observation offered by Mr. Thomii- j son was his assertion that respect is given to women in congress “not because they say anything astute, not because of intellect, but be- j cause ..of ..chivalry.” ..True, -Mr. Thomason, if intelligence be based j on conniving for war and war prep arations. True, if the “softening j feminine treble”—as Mr. Thoma son calls it—is to be merely “tol erated and humored” in its desper ate light for the peace of Ameri ca.

American women are just start ing their political life. Naturally they have not done as much as men. But they have a definite part to play in politics—a part which men have never been able to sup ply except in rare cases. They have and will continue to supply that certain measure of clear and calm thinking-, that abil ity to stop and analyze a situation, which is so revolting to men who cry for the rapid lire action which could so easily lead us into another war.

The frivolous spirit still thrives. As long as coed pulchritude continues to storm the citadel of learning, that worthy institution will hold sway within its own bounds. Be yond that, the blithe coed goe ■ un 1 daunted. Her complete optimism jin the face of disaster (exams) I puts new life into the logging male. I Even her clothes smack of the es I sence of gaiety. Excellent Ts: !e Seen And in this last lies our interest. How dull the wintry scene were it not for those talented female; whose artistic abilities are not. del egated to the classroom alone! Though smart clothes are not a rare sight on the campus, the coed who is garbed with invariable chic is a novelty. Not only excellent taste but continual vigilance of immaculateness is reuired to main tain a smart appearance. To three girls this week go the honors for upholding this stand ard. Carol Pope, small, blond, and Alpha Phi, has been seen on the campus in a smart heavy tweed suit that achieves the height of sartorial perfection. With it she wears a silk blouse in dul? nnet, I the color of the suit, relieving'the utter simplicity of the neckline by the addition of a small string of pearls. A felt hat and calf trot ters, both in the same wine color, complete the outfit. Rough Wool Smart Bernice I-Isaly, Theta in origin, gives the wintry background a! definite cache by lic-r many smart costumes. One of particular note is a rough woolen suit in dark green. A dashing collar of lynx tops a flaring coat, short enough to reveal the skirt of the same shade underneath. She wears with this dark brown acre.; lories and a No Corsages’ Still Ruling Of Senior Ball Directorate Despite Heated Discussion Isabelle Miller Asks Student Cooperation at the Formal Dance Senior committee heads and cam pus authorities on what is what were busy yesterday over the panic l 1 by t he “no c >r sages" deci sion for the Senior ball, hut, at last, the matter is settled. Isabelle Miller, who has been appointed campus social chairman to take Ilctte Church's place, says that af ter a frenzied discussion the de cision still stands. Isabelle is attempting to help every one as Cette did by holding a clearing house for all opinions on how social activities should be carried on. 'T want," said Isabelle yesterday, “to hear opinions, find out just what the majority thinks and let others know. In this way the whole campus will be able to dark green ascot knotted at the neck. Phyllis Elder, of the Kappa house, presents a chic appearance in a red and grey outfit of hairy wool. The bias skirt combines both colors in a diagonal plaid, this de sign repeated in (he scarf on the casual jacket. The latter is in plain grey, fastened down the front with bright red clips in patent leather and nipped in at the waist with a matching patent belt. With this she wears a tailored grey topcoat and grey suede accessories. Haruila Dinner Guest Mr. Jiro Harada, lecturer in Ori ental art, was a dinner guest at the Kappa Kappa.

This does not. 1 or to other types of flower ar r elements, of course. Any girl v.-ho is wearing a corsage may leave it on her coat when it is checked. The prevailing note of the ball is to be formal, with tuxedos and formal evening dress pervading McArthur court, but due to that fold campus tradition forbidding freshmen to wear formal attire, said Isabelle, dark suits arc not being banned. Formal Manners Asked Isabelle suggests that the cam pus really get into the spirit of a formal ball, tire one big annual event of the year, by using the programs and being careful to peak to patrons. This latter cus tom is sometimes forgotten in the informal air of many campus dances but should not be neglected. As for the intriguing programs that are given to each couple, now is the time to really used them. “There is to be a grand orchestra, which should enhance the spirit of the affair. The filling out of pro grams is an old custom which goes hand in hand with an elegant ball, and I certainly hope the majority of students will attend, giving that needed flourish for a great Senior ball,” concluded Isabelle.
