Co-edicjiiette
Should a woman Nit on a man’)
right or loft in an automobile 01
other vehicle?
Whether in a private carriage
a car or a taxi, a lady must nevei
sit on a gentleman’s left: because
according to European etiquette, e
lady “on the left” is not a “lady.’
When should a lady let a mar
carry any packages for her?
Large, unweildy packages and' a
lady don’t go together at all—
neither do they with a gentleman!
Neat packages or books are a dif
ferent matter.
When does a woman take a
man’s arm?
A gentleman always offers his
arm to a lady when they descend
steps, walk a long distance, cross
a very crowded street, or are walk
ing along a rough place. The only
other times are at a formal dinner,
or taking her in to supper at a
ball. Even in walking across the
dance floor, it is best not to take
your escort’s arm. However, a
gentleman is not permitted at any
time to take a lady’s arm!
Is the salutation “hello” cor
rect when a young woman meets
an older person on the street?
In respect for her elders, she
would be more considerate in
greeting the woman with “How do
you do, Mrs. Jones."
When does a woman shake
hands?
Ladies rarely shake hands with
gentlemen who are introduced to
them; they usually shake hands
with other young ladies if they are
standing near together. It is not
necessary for a lady to remove
her gloves when shaking hands as
it is for a gentleman.

Faye Knox Stresses Interest
In Creative Dance as Hobby
Or as Outlet For Expression
By CLARK IGOR
Rvery person needs a creative hobby of some sort, says Mrs.
Faye Fishel Knox, diminutive instructor in physical education. And,
she added smiling, if that hobby is creative dancing, so much the
better. Mrs. Knox is adviser to Master Dance, and teaches several
courses in creative dancing, at the University.
Mrs. Knox has no patience with people who believe they have to
be naturally graceful to take lessons in dancing. On the contrary,
she insists, it is often people who might not suspect they have a talent
for dancing that find in creative dancing the perfect outlet of ex
pression.
"Creative ability and an understanding of art are all that are
necessary.” And, she adds, a love of dancing, and a desire to learn
to use the body to its full capacity.
"I have seen the most backward girls simply bloom in my dancing
classes,” Mrs. Knox remarked. Girls who seemed to have no other
talents, she said, often found the dance an unequalled qutlet for their
imagination and emotions.
The modern, or creative dance, as Mrs. Knox prefers to call it, is,
she believes, for this very reason the style of dance most suited to
the needs of dancers. It gives them almost unlimited freedom of move
ment; no restrictions are placed upon their interpretation—they are
free to express themselves in the way most natural to them.
Dances have always been the expression of contemporary sur
roundings, is Mrs. Knox’s belief, and the dances of the modern day,
bizarre though they may seem on casual observation, are yet the en
deavor of the modern artist to express the life and tempo of today.
"A dancer explores movement,” explained Mrs. Knox, “just as
the sculptor explores form. Thus the dance can be only the individual
result of the artist’s exploration. What distinguishes the artist, as in
all other fields, is his ability to select between the forms of interpreta
tion that come to him.”
Mrs. Knox is firmly convinced that to keep a live, youthful out
look, people must have some sort of creative interest. And she also
believes that everyone feels the need for such an interest. They feel
they must create, they must be a part of some movement.
"That's one reason,” she laughed, "why knitting has become such
a fad. Women who didn’t suspect they could create suddenly found
they could really do something.”
That this feeling of being part of a group is pleasantly satisfied
by group dancing is Mrs. Knox's opinion. She said that all over the
United States, particularly in the East, groups of amateur dancers
lave formed, animated by an interest in dancing acquired by lessons
n schools or dance studios, and these groups have studied together, in
nany cases even putting on performances. This movement, though
.'omparatively new, she said, is growing rapidly.
The instructor said that she has always loved dancing, and con
’essed that the first money she ever earned went promptly into adagio
cssons. A graduate from the University physical education school in
1934, Mrs. Knox studied during the summer of the next year at Ben
lington college, Vermont, where Martha Graham studied, under Louis
Horst, Miss Graham’s accompanist, who in Mrs. Knox's opinion is an
ncomparable critic. In New York she took courses in the history of
lancing from John Martin, dance critic for the New York Times.
Last summer she studied at Mills college under Hanya Holm.
While in the University, Mrs. Knox was a member of Hermian, Mas
er Dance, and the Physical Education club. In 1934 she won the wo
nen’s physical education honors award.
Explaining her preference for creative dancing to the ballet, Mrs.
Knox remarked that though she studied ballet its form was too re
stricted, and the freedom of creative dance forms had appealed to her
ntensely, determining her choice.
When Mrs. Knox speaks of dancing, her eagerness and love for it
ire vividly apparent. And watching her dance it is easy to see how she
las worked and trained to produce the beautifully smooth coordination
(he has achieved in her muscular little body.
“Somehow when I get started talking about dancing, I can’t stop,’
;he said, laughing. “But I love it so, it seems impossible that everyone
:lse doesn't feel the same way.”
Stressing the need for creative interest of some kind, Mrs. Knox
-emarked, “If every girl, when she finishes my course in dancing, feels
i creative interest in some art, whether it is music, dancing, or some
;hing else, I would be satisfied. But, of course, if it were dancing, I
should be very happy.”

In ‘Party’ Issue
Her affection for Her parents
was lost, said Mary Gloria Perry,
18, above, when she was refused
permission to have “dates,” attend
parties or use powder and lipstick.
That, she said, is why she asked
an Oakland, Calif., court to name
a guardian to supplant her par
ents. She claimed she was threat
ened with a “midnight curse” that
would cause her hair to fall out if
she used lipstick.

House Presidents
Discuss Deferred
Pledging Question
At a meeting of heads of houses
Tuesday in the AWS rooms of Ger
liner hall, the question of deferred
pledging was brought before the
group, a plea to uphold traditions
was presented, and Dean Hazel
Schwering asked for suggestions
to be presented to a committee re
vising panhellenic rules.
Pearl Johansen, president, ad
vised the group that Fred Ham
mond wishes to remind women of
campus traditions. The worst vio
lation at present, she said, is that
of walking on the lawn.
The group decided to postpone a
planned house-mothers’ banquet
until next term when Chancellor
F. M. Hunter returns from Texas.
Dean Schwering asked that sug
gestions to revise panhellenic rules
be turned in for committee legisla
tion. The committee will endeavor
to make rulings that will not have
to be changed every year. It is
planned to compile these into a
handbook to be printed next term.

Some Fun
The highlight of this week is the Oregon vs. Ore
gon State game this weekend in Corvallis. The
students at Corvallis have a round of activities
planned for entertainment. To really have some
fun, you should take part in them all. You have
a first hand invitation to do so.
On Friday night after their homecoming rally,
they are giving two dances. One at M. U. and one
at the Women's Building. Two of the best orches
tras are engaged for that evening. After the dances,
the Student Body is presenting a midnight matinee.
They are showing a football picture and several
comedies, a program made up of home talent, and
then home to bed. The women have late permission
that night. Permission that lasts for half an hour
after the midnight matinee. We should take ad
vantage of something like that.
Then, of course, we will have to see the game,
oh what a game! Saturday night there will be two
more dances with two other good orchestras. Sun
day, tea dances at the Benton Hotel. And then
home.
We hope you all have a good time.
The SAEs are whooping it up again. Just child
ish things, but we call it fun. ALICE SAUNDERS,
GAMMA PHI BETA, was quite surprised to see,
the other night, that SAEs had moved all the per
sonal belongings of DICK LITFIN. including his
bed and dresser, to the front room of GAMMA
PHI'S palace by the mill race. This seems to be
one of the'r pet ways of cutting up. The belongings
were quite mysteriously taken care of, and life
goes on.
