Girls’ 10 Commandments Tell Men What Not to Do (Editor’s note: Last week Felker Morris surveyed campus women and warned them to survey themselves. Today she turns the all seeing eye on Oregon men through the media of “the campus’ most ravishing heart-throbs” and delivers their ultimatum.) A lass may have a sweet temper and a docile disposition, but authori ties contend that there are limits to the good nature of even the most beaming and benevolent of beauties. A careful survey and meticulous research into the problem, plus consultation with some of the campus’ most ravishing heart-throbs, brings forth the following requirements of what the male should NOT do if he wishes to keep that dentifrice smile forever shining on the visage of his date. The girls utter the ultimatum!!! 1. He shalt not apologize for ev ery mistake no matter whose fault it is. 2. He shalt not grip me in an iron vise and propel me around the dance floor. 3. He shalt not flirt with every blonde he sees. 4. He shalt not be boisterous or conspicuous. 5. He shalt not follow the “step, step, together routine tor hall room success entirely. 6. He shalt not gaze vaguely off into the atmosphere as though to tally oblivious to my presence. 7. He shalt not practice fancy steps which' he is just learning in the middle of the floor. 8. ile shalt not stumble, fumble, or fall. 9. He shalt not sing the lyric two or three notes off key. 10. He shalt not follow his own original time instead of the or chestra’s. So, gentlemen, if you are offend ers, take heed!!

Tri-Delta Girls To Popularize Polo at Oregon “Horses, horses, crazy over hors es—and polo,” are the words which explain the fever that has sent the Tri-Delta girls wildly swinging mallets from fire-escapes and fences. Polo, the game of “the 400,” has rapidly spread through California as a popular sport for women, and the following girls in tend to bring it to Oregon: Jean Ackerson, Ruth Wollenberg, Car olyn Dudley, Marolyn Dudley, Au drey Colcok, Beverly Simpson, and Alice Weymouth. The Dudley girls, who have had exparience in playing polo last summer for the California State governor’s trophy, will instruct the group. At the first lesson, last Saturday, Carolyn Dudley was elected the temporary president and the silver, gold, and blue were the colors chosen to represent the teams. The patron saint, Poseidon, was select ed as the name of these polo play ers. With experience, these girls in tend to pdpularize this “rich man’s” sport among the other sororities on this campus as well as at other colleges. These polo enthusiasts expect to get some tournament games with the Pacific Coast Women’s Polo association, located in California, in the early spring. A peasant in one of those south of Europe countries is reported to have been operated for removal of a fork he swallowed while eating, another instance of the folly of innovations in etiquette.

Visser’T Hooft Will Talk Today In Gerlinger Mass Movement Appeal To Students Is Subject Of Speaker’s Address At 11 o’Clock By RITA WRIGHT The appeal of mass movements to students and what may be set up as a defense against it will be the subject of Dr. W. A. Visser ’T Hooft at an assembly in Gerlinger at 11:00 this morning. As an eminent theologian, Dr. ’T Hooft’s contention is that mass movements have a tremendous magnetic appeal on students and that they are taking the initiative and the result is a world wide change. Youth Is Active In Fascist countries, in commun istic countries, and in countries with similar forms of government, youth is the active member who is bringing about the change in the social and economic structure of the world. Students in democratic countries, such as our own, are on lookers who make no effort to combat the maliciousness of pro paganda that is being spread, Dr. 'T Hooft contends. Upon his arrival in Eugene, Dr. ’T Hooft spoke to the Student Christian council on their job as a student Christian group. He stres sed the idea of study groups as a basis for breaching the conflict be tween science and religion, and suggested an attempt be made to assemble students on different aspects of thought.

Coeds’ Corns, Boys’ Bunions Bark at Derby Wild-eyed boys rushed from house to house, and gorgeous girls hopped industriously as sweating .musicians ground out rhythm in the annual open house "bunion derby” last Saturday night. Nineteen women’s living organizations threw open their doors at 7 o’clock and fore five hours hosts of young men trooped in and out of each house in the traditional get-acquainted party. It was a wild scramble for all the good-looking babes on the cam pus. Feet? They were everywhere, thrice their normal size, and corns grew on every yard. The Betas’ Old Faithful found the pace set by the young bloods too fast for her. At the height of the evening this old Franklin tour ing car broke her axle on the Chi O’s driveway, and when the girls peered out into the dewy dawn upon awakening the next morning about noon she was still there, "a great big thing that wouldn’t run.” All sorts of methods were used to announce the arrival of the boys. Bells, whistles, songs, or just plain noise stamped each group. The ATO’s ate up all the peanut butter at the Pi Phi house. Even Bruno, the Betas’ huge St. Bernard bounced along to join in the fun. A grasshopper danced a jig on the Orides floor, and out of the Alpha Gam piano jumped a mouse. Important people were there, There were Clark Gable, Jean Har low, and a half dozen A1 Smiths. Even Anthony Adverse prowled around giving them the once over A green Pi Kap wandering about didn’t know what house he had pledged. One young man took great pleasure in frightening the girls He had a false tooth which he dropped in the midst of a broad grin. A classy sorority girl was sur prised to find that the dormitory boys were real people, too. giiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiuiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiuiuiiiiiuiiuuiiiiiiiuiiuiiiliiig Where's George? mmKmMmmmmmmmmmBxm — gone to ... .
