A large alumni group from Portland will be among the guests. Newcomers Add Charm to Scene Of Campus Life We're not running “From Where I Sit” competition but in our own quaint way we have observed some additional newcomers. First of all is Dick Gifford. Dick originally enrolling at our neigh borhood institution, OSC, came to Eugene on a Wednesday night of rush week with some of the tong boys from Corvallis. As to what changed his mind, we cannot say, but he stayed and Friday of rush week found him with the other 32 i pledges that Sigma Nu started running their hotel on. But fame and fortune were to be Gifford’s. A photographer wanting a typical freshman stu | dent selected our friend. So Gif ford posed as a Joe College with a rooter’s cap on, the assumed i smirk on his face, and a pipe i hanging precariously from one ’ side of his mouth; he posed as a student, a pledge in the midst of i house duties, and in all the differ f ent acts that a freshman goes ! through with, includingt he part j of a “pigger.” Don Kennedy brought back from the sunny southland a frisky wire haired terrier which answers to the name of “Prink”, named after our distinguished Webfoot mentor. His latest trick, according to the I Beta boys is to roll over at the [ command. Keen competition be tween Kim of Sigma Chi and the . newcomer is to be expected. Werner Asendorf, Beta exchange student from Germany, has suc ceeded in causing more furor than a Beta mill race. Two Alpha Phis were properly presented to him and on scurrying off to a class mumbled that they were very glad to have met him. Instead of the conventional repetition, they were startled at the reply of, “thank you, I’ll see you in my dreams.” i Doing a prize bit of pledging, the Sigma Chis might say it was an accident but we’d like to know how they got twelve cars. , . .———’i Kramers BEAUTY SALON Reasonable prices Location right on campus.

Can you tell me just how in the world all of you can seem to get together on just what to wear ? Take any campus dance, any number of stories in the Emerald and placards all over the campus announce campus clothes. The poor unsuspecting collitch boy takes the sign at its face value and shows up in slacks and a sweater. But to a woman, all of the gals are in afternoon dresses and high heeled shoes—and, I suspect, sneer ing at the “ill mannered” boys that don’t know w’hat to wear. Just the opposite will happen when the dance is supposed to be more on the formal side. The poor boy struggles into a suit, goes to the dance with a fine mist of per spiration on his brow — only to find that the whole tribe of gals is Trim and Neat This frock of navy ribbed alpaca is ideal for Sunday afternoon.

It is most surprising to the male element of the college when on some sunny day the whole campus blossoms out with a new kind of dress—what is it, telepathy? It happened this fall with these doggone plaid skirts with box pleats—we just looked up and there they were—million of ’em. Where do you get these squirrely ideas ? Stand in a drugstore on the day Vogue comes out. Eleven fe males immediately pounce upon it, and stand around ohhing and ahh ing over some outlandish rig that looks like a beer-keg with fur in stead of metal hoops. It’s ‘‘smart’’ or “clever” or something likfe that. But (thank God!) you never ap pear in them. Just how did all of you know that skirts were to be a couple of inches shorter this fall ? Do you have dreams? Is it television? Then this little matter of hair. Why is it the wenches will get themselves whipped into pretty fair shape so that you can recog nize them. Then, they just can’t let the old top-piece alone. They must fuss with it. Curls one day. Bangs the next. Page boy stuff the next. Finally the gal ups and cuts her hair. If there wasn’t a pair of scissors handly, I’ll bet the gals would chew their hair off. Ah nuts—we like you anyway. Prof JBlames Soap JBoudI for Co-ed Hat Fad The “Beanie” has taken the fem inine half of the campus by storm. All colors of these saucy little hats adorn the “beans” of our coeds. According to “Life” many of the styles in women’s hats this season had their origin in the cere monial headdresses of African tribes. A masculine member of the faculty was heard to remark that the designer of the “Beanie” probably got his idea from the soup bowl mother used to cut hair with. Fashion Contest Open to Seniors For Third Time Vogue magazine recently an nounced its third. "Prix de Paris” a fashion career contest open to members of the senior classes of accredited colleges and universi ties throughout the country. The first quiz of the contest will appear in the November 1 issue of Vogue. To be eligible for a prize, each entrant must send answers to this quiz with the entrance blank to Vogue on or before mid night of November 20. No later entries will be accepted. It is with fear and trembling that we thrust our knees under neath our typewriter table and venture to present to the vast Em serald reading public another col umn. We promise you we won’t try to be funny—bitter experience has taught us that people don’t as a rule laugh very loudly at our jokes anyhow. However, being strictly feminine we have to have our say. and so, like Justice Black and Japan . . . here we are. What can you do? Now that the frenzy of fresh man week Is over and we are once again living a normal life we blush with shame at the muny letters and articles we sent out to Incom ing freshmen women this summer telling them what to buy and w'hat to wear in preparation for a smart and snappy school year. Imagine our embarrassment when they ap peared en masse, looking like they had just stepped from Vogue. New hats, fur Croats, dresses that simply sparkled with style. And we shuf fled our old saddle oxfords back and forth, pulled our last year’s coat tighter around us and our last year’s hat far down over our eyes and slunk around self-con sciously all week. Now we salute the freshman woman with humble ness and respect. We’ll gladly take a lesson on style from her any day. While we’re on the subject of style we’d like to tell everybody how pleased we are when we took a look around at the football game the other day and discovered that Oregon women are coming down to earth and wearing sports clothes to games this year. (At least we hope it’ll last.) We were getting considerably fed up with the pa rade of velvet dresses under fur coats and topped by startingly for mal hats that were much in evi dence last fall. It’s good to see everyone in saddles and smart felts shouting at the top of their lungs, completely oblivious of cos tume or make up . . . something that can’t be done in coiffures that cost buck fifty and a costume worth seventy-five. We feel that there is a point to he made about ull this library ac tivity that has raised such a ruck us the last week. There’s some thing shocking about the hallways of a dignified library looking like bank night at the local theatres. We never noticed any congestion in the hulls last year. People who would hitherto have screamed in horror at the thought are among the first itrrivals every evening nowadays. There must he a point to be made. Is it (a) that the newly built library is more allur ing than the pleasure palaces down town? (b) that the women’s outdoor gym should be made into a library annex to take care of the overflow of knowledge seekers that now stand wearily waiting for seats in the entrance of the new building? (c) that all new stu dents have come to the University with a noble purpose, und that all old-hangers on have reformed? Ves, we feel that definitely there is a point to be made.

Noticeable among the cheering feminine football fans last Satur day was last springs Gerlinger cup senior, Clare Igoe, wearing a bright rose rust dressmaker suit buttoned up to the throat with large brown leather buttons. Over her arm was one of those soft camels hair cruiser coats that make you think of trains 'n travelin' and exciting things. That green streak you see flash ing across the campus is none oth er than Rhoda Armstrong, pert senior, last year’s junior weekend princess, clad in an unusually smart plaid skirt and suede leath er jacket, both of a very vivid shade of green.
