We can't help chuckling- up our very best dress sleeve at the way our masculine friends, bless their hearts, carry the torch for us. We remember last spring how worked up they got fibout the shocking cor ruption of us ladies' election meth ods, and now since the recent so cial ban on coeds who have walked out up they pop again advocating the overthrowal of the present no dates - on - week - nights - or - food - after - 11 - o’clock regime. Far be it from us to interfere with any boy scout inclinations the male r contingent might have, but some how it seems to us that if there is a kick coming it should come from the ranks of the injured. It seems to us that the neutrality rul ing might hold at least until war is declared. Besides maybe we like it this way. The Backseat Driver flitmimiiifiniiinininPttiimuimmnanminmniTainiinminitmnia By MARTHA STEWART Of course we're a little behind on this but this is the first chance we've had to comment on Monday's skirmish with the Staters. From the glances we managed to sneak out a third floor Condon window, (keeping one eye on the history professor up front, of course) it looked like everybody was having a swell time. We were feeling particularly set up about the good sportsmanship shown by the Bea vers when out comes the Barom eter with a story under a two-inch banner that set us back terribly. | It seems the Barometer didn’t think it was fun. We, personally thought that a good time was had by all. We're sorry to hear that, the Oregon students were the only ones who enjoyed it. A quick whirl around the floor up at the matinee dance in the AWS room Tuesday afternoon con vinced us that it was a grand idea having an informal no-date dance in the afternoon when people can drop in after classes for a little truckin’ and a dash of cider. We have only one kick coming . . . the place was a mite crowded. In fact a lot of people besides the man we were dancing with stepped on our toes. We couldn’t help be ing a trifle irked.

THE BROADWAY, > 30 East Broadway Donna Row, Singer, Thinks Crosby Swell A tNorth west Con test Describing the highlight of her four-day trip as meeting Bing Crosby, Donna Row, freshman in journalism on the campus, who was one of the participants in the northwest finals of the Crosby search for talent contest, told the exciting details of her trip. “O—and he's swell," said Miss Row, "and he's just a regular fel low.” She went on to say that ho looked very much like he does on the screen and acted perfectly nat ural. She described his speaking voice in a typically journalistic fashion as a “croony-sort of a bron chial baritone" which sounded much like his singing. The finals were held at Spokane with 12 people taking part, Miss Row was paired with Don Porter from Portland and the other Ore gon winner. Their script was a part from the movie "Blond Trouble” with the parts that Johnny Downs and Elinor Whitney played. The scene took place in a diner of a train with the plot centering around a young composer who was going to New York to make good while the girl is coming home from an out-of-town trip. The winners who were chosen on a basis of acting ability, pho tographic possibilities, dramatic ability, and applause from the au dience. The winners were Janet Waldo, Seattle, and Howard Rhines, Spokane. Among other famous celebrities she met on her trip Miss Row spoke of Bob Burns as a natural comic who makes side-splitting re marks with a perfect poker face. Attending the Kraft Music ha'l broadcast over NBC on Thursday night she said that his perform ance was particularly outstanding. When he comes to the microphone, he uses no script whatsoever but simply talks to the audience in a slow drawl for his allotted time and if they want to laugh its their privilege. Connie Boswell, much to the sur prise of her ardent fans, is a crip ple who always is found in a wheel chair as her legs are completely paralyzed. Miss Row said of her, a good idea if we did it every week only in a larger place with more windows so everyone could get a breath of air while they dance. Alice Toots tells us she got herself a job on the Emerald advertising staff but it was so expensive she had to give it up. She approached the dress shop owners with her most winning smile and suggested that they advertise, but one and all they frowned on her, and in ev ery case she came home burdened with an addition to her wardrobe. We suggest that she get herself transferred to the hardware stores or men’s ready-to-wear. Kramers BEAUTY SALON Reasonable prices Location right on campus. Work of best quality.

DUDLEY FIELD SHOP “she has worlds of charm and per sonality and surprising amount of vitality for her condition.” She sang two numbers “Serenade in the Night" and “Dinah.” Miss Boswell, coming originally from New Orleans, has a very throaty voice that goes with her blues singing and true southern drawl. Her duet with Bing Crosby at one of the programs given in their honor, “Basin Street Blues” brought down the wildest applause of any other act. Other famous people were Mary Carlisle who was particularly noted for her flawless skin; John Scott Trotter, the leader of the orches tra that plays for all of Crosby's pictures ai)d Donna described him as “the smilingest man that I've ever seen;” Johnny Burke, lyric writer for all of Crosby’s songs, who wrote “Pennies from Heaven" and “Moon Got in My Eyes;” Ger ry Bergin, who plays the part of the stooge in various comedy parts and is less than five feet tall. For their entertainment, they were taken as special guests to the Kraft broadcast on Thursday night and then after the broadcast went to the finals at the theater. A banquet was put on immediately afterwards with all of the film cap ital's celebrities introduced. Mike Pecarovich, Gonzaga football coach, acted as master of ceremon ies at this banquet. Friday and Saturday night they j were taken to various dances and dinners. Coming into the lobby of the hotel after a dance Saturday j night, they were met in the lobby by Bing Crosby who asked them down in the Club Lounge in the basement. Meeting some old pals of Cros by's in the basement, the group was treated to some rare “barber shop” harmony with Crosby sup plying the crooning parts. Sol Lesser, talent scout for Paramount and James Moore, test j director for the same studio shot film of all the participants. They were very pleased with the out- i come of the contest, stated Miss Row. Lesser offered to give Miss Row another chance with a screen test if at some time she ever hap pened to be in Hollywood. Concluding the interview, Miss | Row was still sparkling with en-; thusiasm and said, “It was abso lutely a perfect time and I would like to do it all over again.” Student in Hospital With Appendicitis Jean Bonness, sophomore at the University, was transferred to the : Sacred Heart hospital at an early hour yesterday morning suffering from an acute attack of appendi citis. Miss Bonness reported at the infirmary at 5:30 a.m., and after a hurried examination an ambu lance was called and she was taken to the hospital. Authorities at the infirmary re port that an immediate operation will probably be necessary. Tailored Touch The bodice of this frock, with its white pique flowers at the neck is cut like a man's evening waist coat, and is very becoming to the slender waist. The material is black sheer woolen so popular this fall. Classic Lines Graceful Celanese in a self-toned floral pattern is tho material for this classical evening gown with its clinging pleated lines. With the dress the model carries a little short jacket of the same material. , Four Classes of Ferns, Says Masculine Sage (Editor's Note: Here is another one of those blasts by our male friends about us. We are begin ning to wonder if we maybe didn't start something we can't finish when we asked the men to tell us the truth about ourselves. Watch next week's Woman's Page.) I'll admit that a lot of men come to conclusions about women before they really give the situation the proper attention. They are in clined to generalize and make broad sweeping statements that though they contain a germ of truth, are really inadequate. Wo men as a rule overwhelm the men, they knock them over, and the men in a daze retire to some lone some place, and return twenty min utes later with a new truism. Let’s be a little more scientific about it. Let’s have a little classi fication and see if when you get right down to it, women are as screw brained, as uncomprehend ing, as useless and infuriating as the men really make out. We’ll use university women for our tests, and may I emphasize the fact that my conclusions can be taken as conclusive. These re marks will definitely settle the problem of "women in the hair.” Coeds can be divided into four general classes. They are always one or the other; they don’t bor der on any of them. In this respect no woman is normal for she is either radically one thing or an other. I have chosen four more or less descriptive titles—the ice box in tellectuals (a little trite), the mealy-mouthed titterers, the volup tuous Venuses, and the apathetic irritaters. Each one has its good points, and each definitely its bad. The ice box intellectuals are those sexless owl-like creatures that you sec only in classes and at radical discussion groups. They are the thwarted, inhibited, re pressed variety and should be more pitied than laughed at. Life has not been easy on them, for they have grown up with the firmly fixed notion that they should have been men. They would make ex cellent men too, but from time to time their emotions stifle their knowledge and a terrible mess is the result. We can skip over this group as they make up a very small minority on the campus. The mealy mouthed titterers are also, thank the lord, not too much in evidence. They are the tall, thin,' unattractive women who always sit next to you in classes. They titter and write you notes and pop gum in your ear. They laugh at every professor's feeble joke, not because it’s funny, but because their infe riority complex compels them to show others that “I have so too got brains.” You see them on the campus too, but you always avert your head, or retrace your steps when you see them coming. They would just as soon ask you to take them to a dance, for they have lit tletle sense of propriety. The voluptuous Venuses are probably the principal types that one finds, or at least notices on the campus. They have a head, usually darned pretty, but it is empty, and when they try to talk the words get all mixed up and ev ery other phrase is a modification Turnout Large At First Dance In A WS Rooms The first Associated Woman Stu dents informal dance held in the AWS rooms Tuesday afternoon was tried as an experiment, which if the University social calendar per mits, will be continued weekly throughout the term, according to Vivian Emery, vice-president of the women’s organization. The dance, which was voted' a huge success by the large crowd attending, is part of a program for promoting en- ‘ thusiasm on the campus, and en couraging a more democratic spirit among the students. The women students are also planning the opening of the new AWS rooms on the third floor of Gerlinger for public use in the near future. The rooms are to be ar ranged so that girls can spend their leisure hours there. The lounge will be open to all students for dancing, studying, and informal get-togethers. of the last. They talk a lot, main ly because their teeth are pretty, but they never say anything. The men seem to like these little helpless bits of fluff, and I must admit that intellectually they are a vacation. They usually start out the conversation with something like, “now, tell me about you,” and naturally the evening is saved. The males come back for more, and the Venuses don't mind, because they're getting free shows, beer, and a little necking. You see this type on the campus a great deal. They gather in front of the law school and the Side. You can’t mistake them. Then there is that huge group of coeds which make up the larger part of the feminine student body. They are the apathetic irritaters. Impossible to classify physically, they can be spotted every time! they speak. Usually they come from medium sized towns. They are insufferably sophisticated. Life is just too, too dull. Their motto is “Ahm soooo tiahred.” You see them in class with their eyes half closed hugging some radiator. They never take notes, they never feel that it will do much good. They are sorority women mostly, busy in their own way showing others that school is nothing and that a great talent is going to waste. These, then, are the women, painted without malice or preju dice. They are sweet creatures really, and from this analysis, you can sec that women have been justly criticized.

Galer, Alpha Xi Del Petition Starts To Stop Social Ban on Pledges Following long and fervent ar gument this week about the no dates-for—pledges-who-walked out measures were taken by heads of houses, two pledges last night started a move to secure what they termed "a half-way fair deal.” An effort will be made by the pledges to secure the signatures of all those being punished as well as upperclass women and pledges in other houses. One of the points to be protest ed by pledge representatives if an other hearing can be secured with heads of houses is the fact that the regulation is coming two weeks, in some cases, after the walkouts. Others affected by the fact the ruling will prevent them from at tending their pledge dances this weekend, protest other houses have escaped such punishment by the sentence being meted out late. Although upperclass women en couraged walkouts in some cases, the pledges argue that this is the first time any punishment outside of the houses has been given. Most of the living groups have handed out their own punishments for the misdemeanors already. Heads of houses passed the measure at a meeting called by Dean Schwering to deal with the old problem. ta will hold a reception Sunday af ternoon from 3 to 5. In the receiv line will be Deris Beravich, Mrs. H. P. Schwering, Mrs. Frederick M.
