It’s This Way By Marge Petseh "Life’s too damn funny for me to explain,” wails Mehitable, the cat, and we’re almost inclined to agree with her. The poem contin ues—“It’s kicks or it’s money, life’s too damn funny, it’s one day sunny, the next day rain, etc.” Every bit of it applies. * * * Theta Sigs are tearing their hair over the Mystery of the Faculty Women. Here it is: Many times in the past when faculty women have been neglected in the list of invi tations to Matrix Table, they have been both sad and mad. This year a serious attempt was made to in clude in the invitations all those who were eligible. And the re sponse is surprising. With amaz ingly few exceptions, faculty wo men have refused. No one can blame the Theta Sigs for being a bit riled when prominent women all over the state have accepted. Tt seems to be another sad case of non-cooperation. • * * Another big problem to campus ites concerns this weekend’s big dance schedule. With eleven danc es planned everyone is wondering where the houses are going to get enough men and women in one spot at the same time. Seems to us they should have organized some sort of progressive scheme, as used in progressive dinners—or at any rate they should have set up a Round Robin. * * * One day last week “Bert” Moo dy, after exhausting that jolly lit tle brain of hers on subjects too numerous to mention, decided to take a little nap on the lawn be tween the old libe and Friendly. She was barely asleep when she was disturbed by powers higher than herself, who ordered her to remove herself from said grass and find for herself a more ladylike at titude. Those who heard the story sympathized with "Bert” for the most part, and many there were who pondered the fate of the high up who might have attempted the same trick at the campus luncheon last Friday. And where, we ask. is the difference in the two situa tions ? • * * We have heard that a group of very respectable students on the campus are about to organize a “code in da doze" club as a result of the changeable spring weather. We laughed with scorn at this new order, thinking it in perfect keep ing with the past liberty campu3 residents have taken in organizing honoraries for any possible excuse. Today we are hanging our head and applying for membership with the best of them. To join, you must be capable of a sneeze which challenges the hold of your front teeth; you must use a dozen dif ferent hankies a duy; and you must enunciate so badly that only your mother can understand you. That's why we agree witti Mehit nbel.

Jack 1923 Emerald Recalls Pictures Of Rah-Rah ‘Joe College’ Days By VIRGIN A SCOVTLLE For those campus screechers who are always hollering for more campus spirit, more Joe College, more what-is-it there's a store house of good old aged-in-the wood college spirit which you haven't even tapped yet right over in the journalism "shack.” Huge dusty stacks of old Em eralds, neatly bound in green leath er and labeled by their years, lie there forgotten, yet they amply re ward anyone who takes the trou ble to look inside them with a moving panorama of the colorful college life of other days. The hey-day of the campus back in the '20's when everyone came to college and coonskin coats and pennants sprang forth from every "fiat" room when every body had money or credit and the team was the thing. Seymour's was "The Peter Pan.” "Ye Campa Shoppe” advertised very hot dances indeed with the "Oregon Aggravators." Finger waves were unknown, but marcels were flaunted from every coed's head, and cigarette ads were sort of small and scared j looking, never dreaming in those days of implying that a woman would be Interested in them. Esquimaux pies were all the rage choc mashes too. The dirt column was named "The Seven Seers" and they saw everything that went on, evidently. Alas for these days when there's so little dirt that one man can keep track of it all. Tap dancing was practi cally a new discovery. "Gowns” were tube-like crea tions. sometimes with tunics, with high necks and long sleeves, which ended somewhere about the region of the knee. And for evening - beads and flares and chiffon scraps also somewhat shortened. Basketball games were played at the Eugene armory—McArthur court being yet unborn. To-Ko-Lo Subscription rates $2.50 a yewr. was the men’s sophomore honor ary fraternity. The football specials announced that Oregon “demanded" a victory. Grill dances were held the night before the game at the Eugene ho tel. Rooter's sticks and rooter's lids were an innovation, received by the football-mad students with a roar. “Frosh” were “freshies" then. Headlines were half a page deep and great secrecy surround ed tin* team's plans. The Emerald was advertised in its title as “An Oregon Paper for Oregon Students.” The A.W.S. was the Women’s League, and :ourageously started the first Dime Crawl in 1923. Huge stag smok ers preceded the noise rallies in Portland. College then was like the movie version wildly painted Fords and voluminous slickers, covered with stickers and tracings, striped jack ets and paj&marino parades. Don't you wish you'd been here then? Whoopee—oh you beautiful doll! Three New Measles Cases in Infirmary Three new measles cases were admitted to the University infirm ary today to bring the total of measles cases to seven. The patients are: Glenn Reckard, Donald Kennedy, Ruthann Church, Jean Gulovson, Gale Smith, Na thaniel Israel, and Roderick Aya. Ruffles, Lace Femininize Costumes At the top is a femininized shirt in smoked pearl muslin with mushroom pleating, removable studs and buttons down the hack. The other blouse is a white imported organdy to be worn outside the skirt hand. The embroidered lace collar is finished with navy gros grain bows.

It amounts to a sort of a vegetable plate lunch, but they taste good once in a while. If you want a practical linen suit and also a linen outfit for play, why not get a suit in white or some color and then get a culotte (a divided skirt when you come right down to It) in a contrasting color? Then the jacket can serve double duty. For beach holidays wear cotton alpaca or linen. It is both practi cal and smart. For formal evening occasions wear chiffon if you are | the dramatic type. If not, wear gingham. Marganza is an enchant ing new material for formals— sheer and yet with body. Do you like to appear in the un usual ? There is a new idea for you if you do. Get three cotton ban dannas. Use one for a scarf, one for a turban, and the other for a i purse. They may match or be in contrasting colors. Cotton India print pyjamas with Persiap coat make a striking hostess or garden outfit. Tie a yard of chenille-cotted veil ing around your throat and clip it there. It does things to an old frock. For comfort nothing is bet ter than handkerchief linen under things in summer. They are smart, wearable, and surprisingly inex pensive. C. B. Beall Writes Of European Political Situation Firsthand impressions of the European situation as seen by Chandler B. Beall, assistant French professor, who for the last year has been doing research work in Europe on a year scholarship from the University, were ex pressed in a recent letter from him to Ray P. Bowen, head ■ of the romance language department. Mr. Beall will return to the campus in the fall and will teach Italian and French. “The situation in Europe is rather serious, and extremely com plex, but very few papers predict actual hostilities,” he writes. “In Italy all is calm except for occa sional parades and much fervor for 11 Duce.” Letters he has received from Americans, and the reported attitude of United States news papers toward the European situa tion have amazed him, for they seemed extraordinarily concerned. Leading rLaw Review’ Article Written by Anderson Grant P. Anderson, senior stu ient in law, is the author of a eading article in the last 1936 luarterly issue of the Oregon Law teview magazine, which usually iccepts only articles written by icholars of law faculties in out itanding schools or writers from he practicing profession. Ander ion is student editor of the maga :ine. Titled “Collective Bargaining Vgreements,” the 23-page work •eceived the highest praise from Dean Wayne L. Morse. "In my >pinion the article will prove to be >f value not only to students of abor law but also to those of labor sconomics,” he stated. The merit >f the article from the standpoint )f scholarship was such that the ?ditorial board and faculty decided inanimously to publish it. In the contents of this issue is in article written by Charles G. Howard, professor of law and edi tor-in-chief of the magazine, on | “Restatement of Law of Contracts j with Oregon Notes.’’ Dean Morse j has a book review on “Carpenter: A Real New Deal.” A former student of the law school, Elmer F. Wollenberg wrote “United States and Neutralization in the Far East” and George F. Skipworth, circuit judge, wrote on “The Admission of Photographs as Evidence in Homocide Cases.” Professor Howard has been edi tor of the Review for the last sev en years. The Oregon State Bar Bulletin, the official journal of men of the Oregon State Bar, has this year been added as a supple ment to the Review, which is re puted to have a wider circulation than any other campus publication, for some of its issues are ex changed with those from universi ties as distant as- Brazil and Ger many. i THE " AMERICAN GOLFER « Ideal For Golf These sport dresses are made to the specifications of a golf - champion of renown.

He is in the Pacific hospital. Promenading With Pollg Now that the queen lias been crowned, the canoe fete has glided past and the mothers have returned home, we can think of the weather and once again ask the question —Will this intermittent sunshine and rain never cease? —old dupe Pluvius is more erratic than ever but the Eugene merchants with their smart buys never seem to forget the co-eds and POLLY found loads of elegant bargains this week when she was on her shopping tour to find the smartest formal, campus clothes, accessories to wind up the term with flying colors—but perhaps we should add here white is still the tops— RATING FOR DATING By JANE LAGASSEE Can it be the co-eds that cause Pins to bloom in the spring? Oh no, it isn’t the co-eds, It’s love on a fling. Hearts and flowers are blossoming in full bloom spring term and during the last few weeks fraternity pins have been planted in every sorority by leaps and bounds. Mother nature needn’t think she is very subtle, we saw it coming, what with picnics, swimming parties, and tennis court dances to lure the co-ed and college lad away from the Old Libe and to that Sea of Iniquity- the College Side, where the hours roll on and on and when only the Dlue haze of smoke makes us cough, choke and then realize we need a good spin up yee old millrace. Yes, there's a why for every wherefore. Fun and the outdoors make us forget the little peeves that seemed so important in gloomy winter term and with a new zest romance flings "gripes" to the winds and the Rating For Dating is a good sport, congeniality, a good sense of humor and a vivacious personality that always goes to bat. POLLY has been peeking in secret rendezvous lately and found BETTY BEAN with a new Beta pin resting placidly above the thump thump of her heart, KAY FERGUSON with her Phi Psi pin stirred the quiet drone of the Alpha Phi house as a surpirse May Day present, and JACKIE McCORD let no one outdo her and is dazzling the 40-odd Pi Phi’s with a true engagement ensignia. Yes, Polly could go on and on relating touching tales and odd places and quirks in these pin plantings, but there goes that 8 o’clock bell and after all the star and crescent or sword and shield are only symbols in the realm of romance. * a_ The end of the term is crowded with buzzing affairs that call for clever sport dresses and POLLY found one that is headlines in any sport wardrobe. It is a heavy white silk stitched around the neck and arms and has bound buttons down the front, natty pleats and ) tucks that give those good lines. POLLY found this at BARNHARTS and is ready for any occasion. Are you one of the countless co-eds who have been searching for the perfect gift for HIS graduation? Well, POLLY has discovered a JIFFY coin purse made of genuine leather at the ORIENTAL ART SHOP which will amaze you with its ingenuity. Besides keeping coins in separate rows, one can see at a glance in what state the finances are.
