Co-Edicjmette By BARRY BAKER Is It ever permissible to put one’s elbows on the tattle when din ing? The table is there for the pur pose of supporting the dishes, not the people who are eating. Never lean on the table for support! It is perfectly correct for one to place his elbows gracefully on the table between courses or after the din ner has been cleared away. How ever, don't lie down! * « * When soup is served, what should one do with the soup spoon after one is through eating? There is generally a plate under the bowl. If the bowl is small enough to allow some room on the iplate, lay your spoon on the plate. However, if there isn't sufficient space, the spoon should be left in the bowl. When and how should one know when to eat ice cream with a fork ? In a private home, if the host ess wishes to use her ice cream forks, she places them on the ta ble. These forks cannot be mis taken as they are almost like spoons with short prongs at the very end. However, it is proper to use a spoon if no such fork is at your place. Where should the knife and fork be placed when the meal is fin ished? They should be placed together in the center of the' dinner plate. f Ships and Shoes And SealincjW ax! (Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of comments by cam pus women on various controver sial subjects. It will be a regular feature of the women's page. Freshman women furnish comment in today’s column.) (j: l)u you consider a sorority affiliation an asset or detriment? Cathryn Collins — Kappa Alplm Theta. “It may be either an asset or a detriment, according to the indi vidual. Many aspects of sorority life may be detrimental in regard to education because of the de mands made on one's time. How ever, many social advantages of group living are derived from so rority life.” Betty Ann Miller—Women’s Co-op "I don’t think -that it is worth while to live in a sorority. I have definite aims and interests in col lege and sorority life is very likely to interfere with these interests. I do not want my college career dominated by the often times petty opinions and rules of a sorority. As far as the friendships are con cerned I have not found it hard to make many friends without the benefit of a sorority." , * * * Margaret Carlton—tiitnima I‘III Beta “It is an asset socially but it acts as a detriment at times for, Myra Hulser Tells oi Thrills In Interrieiriug Celebreties "Newspaper work and the writing game from any approach have proved fascinating to me,” said Myra Hulser, University of Oregon fresh man, who entered from Boise, Idaho, this year. For the past year she has been employed as woman’s page editor and feature writer on the Boise Capital News. Besides writing society news, a daily shopping column, and planning her page layout she also managed to interview most of the celebrities that came to Idaho's capital j city. These intimate glimpses of famous personages proved very thrilling and was the work she most enjoyed doing. Miss Hulser began interview I ing celebrities while still in high I school and says that in her case she certainly proved the old adage "the first few are the hardest.” i She had the good fortune to in terview Lawrence Tibbett and Nel son Eddy at this time. Nelson Eddy was not as good-looking as he is now in his fame as an opera singer and motion picture actor, she says, but he was very charm ing. The interviews she has had vary from noting menus from Charles Richards, a former dietician for President Roosevelt, to having breakfast with Max Baer. "It is truly amazing how much Max can say between bites of a huge break ! fast and yet finish by train time,” she comments. She had the opportunity to in terview Schumann-Heink during a recent visit in Boise, and Miss Hul ser says that she is a very lovable old lady und just as one would ex pect her to be from hearing her ! sing. "I received some wonderful pointers on 'bronc busting’ from Rose Davis, world champion wo men’s rider, which will come in handy if I ever decide to take it up a.s a profession. "But along the line of horsemanship, a really in teresting person,” continues Miss Hulser, "is Mrs. Harry Knight, formerly Ruth Mix, daughter of Tom, who is called the Serial Queen because of her many west ern pictures for Columbia picture company. She is an expert rider and seldom uses a double.” Another woman who has dis tinguished herself by living dan gerously and making a profession of it is Mable Stark, the only wo man in the world who trains tigers. Miss Hulser had lunch with her in a circus tent of the A1 G. Barnes show. She was thankful to escape without having to exchange any words with Miss Stark’s “cats.” As a part of her regular duties Miss Hulser interviewed Mrs. Wil liam E. Borah twice weekly. She Is enthusiastic in her praise of the wife of Idaho’s famous senator. Miss Hulser owes much of her interest in journalism to Dwight Mitchell, her adviser in high school. He is a graduate of the journalism school here, and it was at his rec ommendation that she came to the University of Oregon. She is af filiated with Alpha Chi Omega on the campus. The Case Against Women’ (Condensed from an article by James Thurber in the New Yorker) A bright-eyed woman, whose sparkle was rather more of eager ness than of intelligence, approached me at a party one afternoon and said, “Why do you hate women, Mr. Thurberg?” I quickly denied that I hated women, but the question remained with me, and I discovered that X had been subconsciously listing a number of reasons I do hate women. It might be interesting—at least it will help pass the time -—to set down these reasons, just as they came up out of my subcon sciousness. In the first place, I hate women because they always know where things are. Naturally, a man enjoys having a woman around the house who knows where his shirt studs and his briefcase are, and things like that, but he detests having a woman around who knows where everything is. Especially when he tries to look for the missing articles, himself. In disguest he snarls at his wife, “Well, where are they, then?” Giving him either the look she reserves for drunken workmen or spoiled chil dren, she tells him he knows perfectly well where they are—in the right hand drawer of a certain desk. He comes back in three minutes with the news that they simply are not in the right-hand drawer ot the desk. Without stirring from her chair, the wife favors her husband with a faint smile (the one that annoys him most of all her smiles) and reiterates that they are in the right-hand drawer of the desk. He simply didn’t look, that’s all. The husband goes back and looks again—then shouts from the next room, “They are not in this drawer, just as I told you, Ruth!" The wife goes into the room where her husband stands, hot, miserable, and defiant—and with certain nameless fear in his heart. He has pulled the desk drawer out so far that it is about to fall on the floor, and he points at the disarray of the drawer with bitter triumph. “Look for yourself,” he snarls. The wife does not look. She says with quiet cold ness, "What is that you have in your hand?” What he has in his hand turns out 'to be an insurance policy and an old bankbook and the missing object. Then she gets off the old line about what it would havn done if it had been a snake, and he’s lost. Another reason I hate women is that in almost every case where there is a sign reading, “Please have exact change ready,” a woman never has anything smaller than a ten-dollar bill. The spectacle of a woman in such a situation tightens up a man inside. The episode gives him the feeling that some monstrous triviality is threat ening the whole structure of civilization. It is difficult to analyze the feeling, but there it is. Another spectacle that depresses the male and makes him fear women, and therefore hate them, is that of a woman looking another woman up and down, to see what she is wearing. The cold, flat look that comes I into a woman’s eyes when she does this, the swift coarsening of her ! countenance, and the immediate evaporation from it of all humane quality make the male shudder. That look, I believe, is one reason men disappear, and turn up in Tahiti or the Arctic or the United States navy. I hate women because they almost never get anything right. I hate women because they have brought into the currency of our language such expressions as “all righty" and “yes indeedy” and hundreds of others. I hate women because they throw baseballs (or plates or vases) with the wrong foot advanced. 1 marvel that more of them have not | broken their backs. But the main reason T hate women is that while they never lose any thing of the sort you are looking for, they invariably lose one glove. I i Relieve that 1 have never gone anywhere with any woman in my whole life who did not lose one glove. 1 have searched for single gloves under tables in crowded restaurants and under the feet of people in darkened movie theaters. If there were not other rason for hating women, that one would be enough. In fact, you can leave all the rest out. sorority regulations interfere with your studies.” LUIIan Scott—Alpha Phi "Although many people feel that living in a sorority or fraternity house is a detriment to the process of getting an education, I truth fully believe that a membership in a social organization on the cam pus is a decided asset. "Through the close contacts and associations one makes with fel low-students, while living in a house, lasting friendships and ties that help build up a happier and more willing attitude toward stud ies which, in the long run. results in getting the most out of a col lege education.” MAIUAN TURNER—Hendricks Hall "Individual personality determ ines whether a girl should live in a sorority or not. To many girls a sorority is an aid in that it de velops their individual social ae tivities while on the other hand to the more active girl to whom free dom of movement and thought means a great deal the domination of a sorority is a hindrance. Per sonal opinion, in the long run is the determining factor of whether to join or not to join a sorority." Roberta Clair Bequeaith, ex-'35, and George Monroe Ashe were married in Glendale. California, on October 17. Mrs. Ashe is a mem ber of Pi Beta Phi sorority. The couple made a wedding trip to Mexico and will reside in Glendale TAYLOK-nuule hamburgers, adv.

KRAMER BEAUTY SALON 1256 Kincaid St. '«f-irir-i(-i(-i(-ii-iripimmrimnnnnnncinnnrafnrrinnnricirnfaraprafflnni5inrarararaf!nrarai' Up to SNUFF Venita Brous and Ellen Hill Fiom all reports everybody had an “A number one time” over the weekend in Portland. Some of us are planning to stay in Eugene to catch up on our work and to get ready for Dads’ day. We all must look our best. Also, it might be a good idea to get some good midterm grades to show them so that they might increase our allowance. Talking about Dads’ day, we found some nifty little numbers down town that would help us to have a grand time about then. At R'. C. HADLEY’S we saw a green silver lamee afternoon dress. It had huge Leg-O-Mutton sleeves, gathered, a silver belt, and a neat little bunch of flowers at the neckline. Swing into the tune of the dance with a flair skirt. A clever little dress that we found at BEARD’S was a bright blue afternoon dress that was trimmed with the tuxedo back, tails and all. What could be nicer. The taffeta dresses are still the vogue on the campus, and elsewhere. At McMORRAN’S they showed us a black taffeta that was embroidered witn large green circles, 'fhe dress had a full skirt and full sleeves. In some of these dresses, hearts were used instead of circles. Very clever indeed. For great relaxation, or for studying, we suggest that you go in and see the two-toned silk crepe lounging pajamas that GORDON AND CO. are showing now. They are double breasted, have huge buttons, and are tied with a contrasting sash. Under the line of beauty, be sure and keep your hands looking their best. KRAMER BEAUTY SA LON can give you one of the nicest manicures that can be had, and what’s more they are just off the campus. Very convenient. Haven’t collected so very much gossip this week because everything that we heard, happened down town in Portland. Probably a big percentage of it is old news to you by now, but maybe later on we will drop a hint about some of it. Pin Pluckers and Pin Planters Romances have come to the top this last week or so. Pins have been flying around the country like a Kansas cyclone had hit them. The men on the campus are getting a wee bit liberal. Only have time to tell you a few of them. GAMMA PHI BETA: Jane Bogue received a pin from Allen Smith, Sigma Nu. Mariam Fouch received one from Thurston Skei, Phi Kappa Psi. KAPPA ALPHA THETA: Janette Charman received one from John Thomas, Alpha Tau Omega. Betty Crawford received one from Harry Weston, Alpha Tau Omega. KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA: Mary Janet Higgins not only got a pin from George Humphrey, but she also got a package last Thursday night. Along with the pin notice, it has come to our special attention that John Yerby has done the most unusual, or maybe if is becoming a usual thing by now, but anyhoo, to get back to the story, he has planted his pledge pin on Marcia Steinhauser, Kappa Kappa Gamma. We have a feeling that something is liable to happen after a few certain people read this. And a few more questions for your intellectual minds, a grade of “A” is worth 50G: What lonesome Oregon man sat on top of the goalpost when the Washington Huskies tore it down ? What looks more touching than Jack Lewis and Bob Biddle sleeping on the train, with Jack all cuddled up next to Bob trying to keep warm or something ? What Phi Psi's went to the wrong dance Satur day night? They went to the Chi Psi dance and then proceeded to wait for their brothers to show up.
