.... DIARY -OF A College Girl jan. 25 here i am In the infirmary. of all dumb places to be i who wasn’t going to get the flu. bravely i held out all these weeks when those on all sides of me were falling like flies. i looked on the sick and dying with contempt, no stamina, i said, and now that everyone else is practically well here i am flat on my back, and do 1 feel terrible, i will probably die before morning, i hope. jan. 26 there is a deadly sameness about days spent in the infirmary, before i came here i heard glowing reports about the food and i always thought maybe this infirmary wouldn’t be a bad place to spend a few days. but woe is me fo r now that i am here the mere thought of food reduces me to a state of intense nausea, even the harmless things they bring me to sip. i lie here getting more bored every minute, i thought maybe i could go home tomorrow but when i suggested it the nurse looked at me with mildly amused air and said i’m afraid not. So i must lie here another long day. what a wonderful thing health is, and how i shall prize it if i ever do rise from this bed of pain, ever. -—LOST Leather wallet with horse head on outside; currency and re ceipts.

KARL’S SHOE STORE 7th and Willamette [Glittering Gold, Smart Colors Featured in Evening Clothes For Midwinter Social Affairs Caught up in the gay .swirl of a ! formal social season, the thoughts of Oregon coeds are turned in the direction of newer and more excit ing clothes for evening. And it is now, in the midwinter season, that she may really burst forth like a vivid butterfly from a cocoon. For color and more color is the cider of the day—or should we say evening. Schiaparelli comes out with "parlor pink,” a new pale cerise, extremely smart with black and gold; violet and fuschia shades are popular; Mainbocher chooses hya cinth blue and jonquil yellow; Lan vin uses a new delphinium blue — but everywhere there is the glitter of gold, in sequins, in braid—ev erywhere it can be used. Sheer Fabrics Popular Lines still feature the fitted bodice, the sweeping, full skirt; necklines are high in front, and cut to the waist in back. Wispy, frothy material leads in popularity —net, organza, and chiffon, yards and yards of them. Silk jersey prints are vividly smart and new, molded on the fitted lines of a Gre cian statue. Glowing iame and metallic bro cades are used for glamour, and, of course, rich velvets and satins. Shiny sequin jackets in gold and silver are worn over chiffon. The adventuresome coed might try a sweeping lame gown in iridium white, trimmed with rhinestone buttons or clips, under, perhaps, a scarlet velvet cape. For the tall and regal, Vionnet designs a black broadcloth dinner dress, cut on beautifully simple lines, and trimmed only with a belt of cut-out leather leaves. More festive is a white satin for mal, with high draped neckline, which springs from a slim girdle of golden mesh and falls with air, pie folds into a graceful skirt. Tip for Brunette* For grace, a high-waisted Em pire gown in bright blue velvet, with sweeping fullness in back is suggested. Vivid, exotic brunettes could wear a simply cut gown of snow white crepe, girdled with a twist of saphhire blue, and worn with a full chartreuse cape. If you are slight and blond, wear drifts of white chiffon cut into a pleated circular skirt, fastened at the waist, Grecian style, with a sil ver cord. Low-heeled Grecian san dals, bound about the ankles, com plete the outfit. A Midwinter Night's Dream. Particularly suited to a coed’s young charm is a dress of black embroidered net, with full skirt, the top tailored shirtwaist fashion, and finished at the neck with a tiny round collar. Flowers, Velvet Trim Alix of Faris gives a recipe for excitement in organza over taffeta, trimmed with velvet bands, and a cascade of flowers falling from the waist. Vionnet sculptures jew elry, flattering to the figure and terribly new. The Persian influence appears in stand-up collars, in the use of bright bended trimmings, in bi zarre red and gold trimmings on You will like these ‘Lazy Bones’ by Van Raalte $1.95 Cotton Corduroy is mighty soft for lounging around or for sleeping. And the styles and colors of Lazy Bones are so nretty it's a shame to confine them to boudoirs! Slipover top, ski bottom style. Burnt Orange, French Blue. “Because your love nice things” Again—We want to remind you that the Dudley Field shop now offers a fine array of women's apparel. ' the severity of black. Be exotic, foreign, in black velvet, slit to the waist in back and bound with a snaky belt of gold, and worn with gold sandals. Dramatic for evening is a black velvet tunic trimmed with criss cross bands of sequins on the shoulders, and around the flared bottom of the blouse. Wild Russian embroidery is used to good effect, as is beading -any thing to look bright and gay and different. Try taffeta studded with fold sequins, fitted in the waist and swooping down into yards of skirt. Gold leather cut into leaves^ and flowers adds drama to a black dress of the simplest cut. New Styles in Coats Evening coats, too, are utterly different this year. Beige broad cloth fitted in front, top-coat style, goes into fullness at the back of the slimly fitted waist, and sweeps to the floor. A Puritan-cut eve i ning gown of smoky gr ey velvet, collarless, with huge, flaring cuffs and full skirt may look demure — but it’s as subtly heady as wine. A silver brocade coat shot with scarlet, is fitted through the bod ice, and flares from its slim waist, a la Monsieur Beaucaire. If you possibly can, be vivid, be gay, be exotic and glamorous. Or swish demurely in froths of chif fon. But do be different—and dar ing with your colors! ■i i Co-Edi qiiette By BARRY BAKER (With winter formals, first nighters, ami the formal Ballet Russe approaching, a few tips on etiquette for these occasions seem appropriate.) What is the proper form of an swering a formal, written invita tion ? Formal acceptances or regrets are always written. The same form is used in accepting a dance, a dinner, or any such affair. The day and hour must be repeated, so that in case of mistake, it may be rectified. In declining an in vitation, it is not necessary to re peat the hour. This answer should always be written and not merely a filled in form provided for ac ceptances or refusals. Should one wear hair ornaments to a formal dinner? At a really formal dinner where evening dresses are worn, hair or naments are correct if they are becoming. However, when a regu- | lation dinner dress is to be worn, j iewelry in the hair is not in the best of taste. Current opinion is a large factor in settling this question. Does one wear a low-cut evening dress or something on the dinner dress type to a formal theater opening? Emily Tost says, “The informal dinner dress is worn to the the ater, the restaurant (of high class), the concert, and the opera.” However, she says an evening dress is never inappropriate if it is not too cut out and no head dress is worn. On our own campus, evening dresses with jackets or sleeves seem to be the most popu lar for the theater. FLIT DOWNS PROFS Dr. Calvin Hall and Dr. H.

Episcopal Blslhop Visits UifiiDCf,siti!| While many students were at tending luncheons and dinners of the Press Conference, other stu dents were entertaining Rt. Rev. William P. Remington, D.D., bish op of the Eastern Oregon Episco pal diocese. A dinner was given for him Friday night and a break fast on Sunday at the Anchorage by University students from east ern Oregon.

She is be seiged on all sides with bits of ad vice, some helpful, most of it not, until she is more bewildered than ever. "Be sweet and feminine,” say some sources. “Men love the do mestic, womanly woman, one who flutters about in pink organdie. Men like to be told that they are wonderful, poor creatures, they must be flattered and coddled, Watch them fall when some femi nine bit of fluff simpers up at them, “I think you’re just gu rand.” “They love, it seems, to be ad mired, they thrive on being the center of attention—you must flatter their masculine ego—be little and helpless, they'll eat it up.” Other sources offer* this sage bit: “Men like the independent type, the good sport, the girl who is as handy on a camping trip as on the dance floor. They want a pal, a companion, not the kind of girl who screams when she sees a snake and can’t open a door for herself. Be natural—a 'good egg.’ They’ll eat it up.” Between the bombardments of these two conflicting currents of advice, the girl stands, and wails— “Just what kind of a girl does a man like, anyhow?” To come to the aid of the Oregon coed who asks herself this ques tion, the following collection of opinions were gathered from men on this campus—from which it would appear that the more natural type of girl is the most popular, yet she must be feminine. JOHN LEWIS, handsome bas ketball star, favors the indepen dent type. He advises that a girl “be natural.” EARL REPP, SAE, and member of the rally commit tee says he likes a girl who always seems to be having a good time, someone who is “always smiling and iollv.” An intelligent girl, not a mascu line type, but with plenty of “blood and iron" is favored by BOB KNAPP, Sigma Nu of green hat fame. This would indicate a decided vote against the clinging vine type of girl. JACK LOCKRIDGE, sophomore class treasurer, wants a girl who is natural and peppy. He likes a girl who is rather independent, and a good sport, “but not an ath lete," he hastily added. “Not the kind of a girl who’d suggest, for instance, that you go for a nice long hike with her.” Smiling DOUG RAMSEY, Chi Psi, wants his girl to be the old fashioned type, with long hair. She must not wear any paint, especial ly lipstick, she must not smoke, drink, or swear—and she must not want to go to shows on hot sum mer nights. Aside from all this, however, he specifies that she be "ardent and affectionate." The boy doesn't want much! Phi Delt NOEL BENSON, junior class prexy, considered the ques tion seriously, and finally decided that ho likes a girl who is a good sport, and has a good time. "I like a girl with whom I can have a lot of fun, and whom I can be myself with—she must be a good mixer.” He added that he is strongly against the “gusher.” GLENN KANTOCK, Phi Delt, maintains that a girl should be a combination of the feminine and Independent types. "She should be able to stand on her two feet,” he nsists. He also stipulates that she ae reserved and dignified. BRUCE MCINTOSH, SAE, and personality boy of the College Side, likes a girl who is independent, and can do things for herself. He de tests the gushing coed who is wild ly enthusiastic over everything, and likes a girl he can really talk to. BERT MYERS, ATO, generously maintains he “likes 'em all!" He confesses, however, that he has been looking for a girl for some time—a brunette, who is a good dancer and has a good figure. Also, she must be a “good egg." He adds, shyly, that if she has money and a car it will help. BOB OOODFELLOW, ATO, of the Siberrian, wants a girl who is jolly, and likes to have a good time. She must also be a good dancer—and wear her clothes well. He says that she doesn’t have to drink, but she mustn't mind if he does. Intelligent she should be— as long as she does not flaunt her intelligence openly. Bob says he has hung onto his pin for three years, but, says he, “there’ll come a day!” Shy, curly-headed JOHN PINK, of Emerald sports staff and “Pink Lemon-Aid” fame, when asked what kind of girls he liked, hid, alarmed, behind a typewriter. From this snug refuge, came a snarled “I don’t like women.” TONY YTURRI, law school Lo ; thario, says “an independent girl for me every time.” He maintains i that the clinging-vine type is un ( interesting, probably an invalid, and. there is no excitement of com petition. We fear Tony is a gam bler at heart. ORVAL “Hops Skips and Jumps” HOPKINS, the boy from the South, says he wants a girl who has “lots of money, a big car, and is plenty dumb.” Spinsters Stoije Girl-Dote Donee At Osbnrn Feb. 19 Spinsters club of Eugene has an nounced the date of its annual for mal to be held February 19 at the Osburn hotel. This is the only giil-date formal to be held on the campus this term, Marian Morse, president of the group said. Helen Dodds is general chairman for the dance. Assisting on her committee are Elizabeth Soults, decoration and cleanup; Jessie Rae Atwater, refreshments; Marian Morse, publicity and tickets; Lor raine Barker, patrons and patron esses. At a meeting held at the home of Barbara Roome, Monday, Spin sters revised their constitution and made plans for a rummage sale on February 5. The next meeting of the group will be in three weeks. I elsliiem, Dufort Martha Felsheim, Chi Omega, and enrolled last year as a fresh man at the University, announced her engagement to William Dufort of Bandon in a very appropriate way at a fireside at the Chi Omega house last Friday evening. Mar tha majored in journalism and is now working in several positions on The Western World, Bandon newspaper owned by her father. Each Chi Omegan received an announcement titled “The Western World’’ with headlines, “King Ab- i dicates Throne.” The story went on to say that William Dufort had abdicated his throne of bachelor dom to become engaged to Martha Felsheim, society editor, office manager, and member of the !raMa^raraMf5If3nu(31PIiOIraRnW3Pi™ilnllnlI5i nrar?nrcnarararai Walt Wheezes! rarararararararararar.ararararararararai God a co-d id by head dis weeg.

Kiepe Gives Readings For Orides Meeting “Prize Day Address" from “The Orators,” and a poem from the collection of C. Day Lewis were read and interpreted by Paul E. Kiepe, instructor in speech, before Orides, independent women’s or ganization at their regular month ly meeting held Monday evening in Gerlinger hall. Following the poetry, members of Yeomen, independent men’s or ganization, joined the Orides for informal dancing. news staff of the Western World, and that the wedding would take place in February. Exchange Dinner Lends New Note To Social Week The regular week of exchange desserts between fraternities and sororities was varied somewhat by the introduction of an exchange dinner between Pi Eeta Phi and Phi Delta Theta last night. This is a new idea to the Oregon cam pus: however, it is the usual thing at Oregon State, ^here desserts are unheard-of affairs. Half of the Pi Phi house were guests of the Phi Delts, the other half were hostesses to them. Sigma Phi Epsilon entertained Alpha Delta Pi at dessert last night, and Kappa Sigma were hosts to Delta Gamma. Chi Omega will entertain Phi Delta Theta, Delta Upsilon will be hosts to Alpha Phi, Phi Sigma Kappa to Alpha Omicron Pi, Al pha Chi Omega will entertain Theta Chi, and Alpha Gamma Delta will be hostess to Pi Kappa Alpha tonight. Friday night Delta Upsilon will entertain Delta Delta Delta, and Phi Kappa Psi will be guests of Gamma Phi Beta. Honoring the active members of Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, Mrs. Gladys C. Hansen and Mrs. Lloyd Payne, Mortar Board alumnae, will entertain at a supper Sunday evening at 6 o’clock at Mrs, Hansen's home. Guests for the occasion will be Mrs. Hazel Schwering, Mrs. Alice B.
