Princesses TJnimpressed Unimpressed with the pageantry which drew a million visitors to London, Princess Margaret, 6-vear old daughter of the new king, yawned yesterday in the face of one of the most publicized events the world has seen.

In Italy Premier Benito Musso lini, still ‘mad’ at Great Britain, restricted news of the spectacle to one line—"The coronation of King f George of England took place this morning." Radio reports were also deleted.

Slang Phrases Add Zest, Wit ToDeanfsTale By BERNADINE BOWMAN An art’cle written by Dean De ward H. Lauer for Columns, Uni versity of Washington publication, contains such startling definitions as: Homely girls—crock, hard-nosed cookie, popeyed par.sie, and muddy plow. Good looking coed—dever frau, snuggle puppy, and flesh and blood angel. ^ Father—U. S. treasury. Dead and buried —garden on the stomach. A campus romeo—ball of fire, squaw man, gold mine. A student automobile — rolls rough, struggle buggy, bone crusher, a-merry-can, and tintype. A kiss—tonsil swabbing, mug muzzle, parksology, and honey cooler. A dance—hog wrestle and cem ent mixer. Dean Lauer got the material for his article from a similar one by Feliz Baumann entitled “American Student Slang,” written for a Ger man magazine after the author had made a study of slang in lead ing American universities. Singers Emote Torcn singers invariably get A their man, simply because they rely so much upon the emotional rather than intellectual element of a song, according to a San Jose State college professor of singing. Such singers rely upon their flare for the dramatic and drip sentiment at every turn, but in their setting of dimly lighted ball room, any man is impressed. Classical singers do not always ' get their man (if they want one) because they are guided more by the mind than by emotion. ‘Camerad’ Coeds Calling for the gentleman in white and his friends' That is the alarm around the Chi Omega house at the Univer sity of Kansas.

Ruff, instructor in geology, great herds of elephants roamed the Oregon campus nibbling at pleistocene greenery. How long ago ? Between twenty and fifty thousand years—a split second’s time when compared with the span of geologic history. Mr. Ruff, who recently brought back a mastodon tusk, an elephant tusk, and a mastodon tooth from a placer mine near Grants Pass, was accompanied by Dr. L. S. Cressman, curator of the science museum, Fred Voget, and Carl Huffaker. “The mastodon and the elephant were found within twenty feet of one another,” Mr. Ruff said. “This is extremely interesting, as it shows that these two animals lived about the same time. Usually the mastodon, who is a much older mammal, is separated by a greater deposition of material from the elephant than was the case here. “The importance of our find," he said, “lies in the fact that the difficulty of finding a fossil, and the great number which have been dug up in this region would indi cate that great herds at one time roamed the country.” The elephant tusk recently found was about five feet long and seven inches across the diameter, but ac cording to Mr. Ruff is rather small. “It has been reported,” he said, “that one elephant tusk over a foot in diameter and sixteen feet long was dug up in southern Oregon. I don't know how true this is, though.” Living at the same time were camels and pleistocene horses, and though Mr. Ruff said they have not been found as often as the fossil ized tusks, there is every indication that they were quite abundant, (Please turn to page two) Oregon Delegates To Stanford Meet To Be Named Soon Final choice of the five dele gates from the University to the Japan-America conference at Stan ford university, August 1 to Aug ust 7, will not be made until next week, it was announced at Dean Onthank's office yesterday.

Clothes figured prominently in the trial, counsel for the defense claimed Martin's girl, Dorothy Johnson, had been in no danger of drowning when Devers made his daring rescue, claimed she was not yelling tor help, merely attempting to attract someone’s attention to her new Paris hat that was float ing rapidly downstream, result of the upturned canoe. Ron Rue, witness for the defense, who had seen the accident, said he’d be “darned if he’d jump in the race for any girl’s hat." Rue brand ed Devers as a "showman," clamor ing for the public eye when he’d “staged the rescue.” A1 Davis reviewed the case for the plaintiff, pointing out Miss Johnson had been in danger of drowning when Devers came to her rescue, and that Martin had been careless in handling of the canoe.

Lady Lawyer to Face Devers in Moot Trial It takes a lady to lend that “finishing touch,” or so acting Dean Hollis of the law school must have reasoned when, In planning the schedule for the moot court trials this spring, he appointed Miss Nora Hitchman one of the attorneys for the last case of the season, that of Skalet versus Devers, which comes up for trial at 7:30 tonight in the county court house. Miss Hitchman, third year law student, will be the first coed to have acted in the capacity of attorney this year, probably in a good many years, at a moot trial, hne will, vith Mr. D. R. Dimick, bring action igainst Mr. Dick Devers, who will be defended by attorneys Bob Mil er and Tony Yturri. Two weeks ago Saturday night Herb Skalet was studying in the law school library. When closing time came, Skalet continued to study. Dick Devers, librarian, after having told Skalet to remove him self, proceeded to lock up. He locked Skalet in. Several hours later the night watchman let Ska let out, but the damage to Ska let’s character had been done. His noble character had been defamed, result of the late hours he’d been forced to keep by being locked up in the library. His reputation ruin ed, he lost his positon as sponsor if Omega hall. Now he clamors for justice! All students interested in seeing how a real case is conducted in court should se tonight’s trial. That old saying “last but not least’’ holds tonight when Miss Hitchman, truly a bar-maid, will plead with the jury for justice.
