r The Gadabout imii!i;iiiimiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiniifiiitnii!uiiiiiiiiNi!:iiiiiii!!i!!ii!iniimnimii!iinti!i By MARTHA STEWART A very wise gentleman told me the other day that he believed two thirds of the trouble with us wo men is that most of us have a ter rible Inferiority complex because we’re not men. I didn't believe him. After all, I told myself stoutly, just why should we regret our sex. We're not so bad in our line. And then the thing occurred to me. Just how many of us stick to our own line. It seems to me that practi cally everyone of the feminine sex I know is either educating herself to show some man that she is just as good as he is, or is slaving over her books to prove to the world that she can beat the men at their own game. The whole thing sounds a bit silly to me. I must admit that I blush for shame (yeah, I'm one of those that can still blush) when I think of us women devoting half our lives to dashing arund screech ing hysterically about how we’re just as good as the men, trying to convince ourselves more than any body else of something which we, of all people, should know is a question too absurd to argue. After all, the men don’t go around crying shrilly that they are just as good as we are, and there are just lots of things that wo men can do that men couldn’t even try. It seems to me that the thing just about balances itself. Both of us have a place. It’s just like saying, “Bread's just as good as meat.” Of course it is. And vice versa, only neither one can take the other’s place. And let that be a lesson to you, ladies! * * * And while I’m on the subject of us ... I just finished reading that popular play that ran on Broadway last year called “The Women.” It is a very amusing satire on wives of the idle rich, but it carries a wallop for all of us gals. You should read it even if you don't get anything more out of it than a good mad. At least you can say furiously: “It’s a gross exaggeration. We’re not that bad!” Before me on the wall of the little two-by-four room with the managing editor's name on the door which is shared by everyone ■from the seventh assistant copy editor down to the head of the wo man’s page, along with numerous pictures of beautiful girls, a mis cellany of phone numbers, and an announcement that “Scoops Top pling writes again,” is an “On the Cuff” cartoon by Lichty. It is a scene inside the office of the Wa lioo Wheeze with ye editor bent over his desk to which is tied a sleepy looking dog. An inky look ing printer is pointing out the dog to a visitor. The cartoon is cap tioned : “—And when we run short of news the editor simply bites the dog.” Which is all very well for the reporter, but what about the col umnist ?

Art Students Return Animals To the Library IllllllltllllllllllsX lllllllllllllllltdllllllllllllllllllllllitllllllllllllllllilllllllllM By JEAN GULOVSON By JEAN GULOVSON “A student came over from the art department and took all our elephants a few days ago,” said Mrs. Marian Watts, refer ence librarian. “But we ha\e them all back now," she contin ued, opening a drawer revealing all sizes and poses of elephant pictures filed under "animals.” Further investigation revealed a nine-drawer filing cabinet filled with copies of photographs, etchings, statues, murals, and paintings. The section entitled “biography" has pictures of most of the better-known artists with brief explanatory material clipped from magazines. Housed in the browsing room is a collection of larger and more valuable copies from famous pic tures. They are mounted on cardboard to make them suitable for hanging on walls. Among the better-known masters represent ed are da Vinci, Rembrandt, Mil let, and Whistler. Most of the pictures have an explanatory note and short biographical sketch of the artist on the back. Any pictures in the library collection may be borrowed for a month at a time subject to the rules governing the use of li brary books. ^TmiiuiaiiuuruiauiiaiiiiiHiiraui««iniiiiiuum!iHiHniuiiiuui»tiiiw»uu.4.»»....«......*...«-—.

ORIENTAL ART SHOP Coeds Plan Capers Sans Males Jan. 20 Plans are now being formulated for the revival of the traditional Coed Capers to be held January 20 in Gerlinger. Annually held as a frolic spon sored by the AWS, the capers will provide an evening of varied en tertainment which is to be kept a deep secret for the time being but; which will start the curiosity of campus males who are banned from the affair as it is the only all true women's event on the Oregon campus. Ten prominent senior girls are to be chosen on the force of senior cops to protect the portals of Ger linger from any marauding males, i Martha Stewart is in charge. Last year the plans for the Coed 1 Capers were forced to be aban doned because of the flu epidemic (Please turn to page four) Shining Silver The fashion-conscious miss might welt start off the season of win ter farina Is in a shimmering gown like the one. worn by (linger Kog trs above. .Notice ttie simple shoul der line and the distinctive skirt. A strip of ruby velvet circles the waist, and a ruby clip is fastened at the throat. . Coed Coiffures Showft Charm, Originality,j One of the interesting and significant fashion phenomena is the shifting interest in new and unusual coiffures. During some periods every woman will negligently brush her hair into a simple, often unbecoming coiffure and forget it completely. Then, a year or so later she will determinedly get out comb, brush and curlers and study diligently for hours to produce a hair style that will be new. exciting— (uiu ufia For a decidedly dull period, wit ness the "boy bobs" of the late 1920s. Straight locks, combed back serevely from faces both young and old, gave a hard, un flattering hair line that empha sized most women's bad features, and added no concealing grace to 1 hide sharp noses and bad chins. Severe Styles Boring But we soon grew tired of these ' ultra-severe hair styles, and decid ed to experiment a bit with some thing more feminine. From this resolve grew the long bob that has become so popular—and is so in finitely more becoming. Now, in the last year, hair styles have turned more than ever to the fem inine. soft, attractive lines. Hair is swished off the back of the neck and clustered into curls at the top. Or, sleek and shining, it is brushed under into page-boy bobs, or sculp tured into soft curls. The new trend is seen definitely here on the campus, and many coeds have experimented and achieved coiffures that have charm and originality which distinguish them from the “cut off and combed back” school of hair styling. Girls Choose Charm Willa McIntosh, a freshman this year, combs her dark hair into at tractive curls over the forehead, lets it grow into a long bob curled on the ends. Attractive Barbara Benham has capitalized on the very long bob, curls it softly around the face, and swirls it into curls on the top. Khoda Armstrong wears a clus ter of little curls on her forehead. Hallie Dudley’s coiffure, with the hair pulled back from the forehead into demure braids, and turned un der in the back, has dignity and charm. Blonde Jeanne Wagy brushes her hair into a sophisticated page boy bob that is a miracle of neatness, and very becoming. Es ther Horstkotte combs her lovely dark hair into a halo of curls around her head. _Curls Forward Caro Cogan has a knot of curls on her forehead which add distinc tion and charm to her coiffure. Betty Crawford parts her hair down the middle, and does it into a roll that frames her piquant face. Joliene Woodruff, blessed with curly hair, combs it into a long page boy, brushes it to emphasize its coppery sheen. The result: Ev ery hair shines neatly in place, and Intramurals Discussed At WAA Meeting The first winter term meet ing' of the Women’s Athletic association was held Tuesday, January 11, in the women's lounge of Gerlinger hall. Plans for basketball, badmin ton and swimming- tournaments were discussed and the mana gers of the different living or ganizations were given instruc tions, concerning intramural sports by Louise Watson. Any girl in a campus living organization may compete tin the tournaments. WAA checks will be given girls participating in the sports. A check is given when the girl has practiced twice weekly and participated in all but one of the intramural game in which her living organi zation is engaged. Five checks earns an award of a small letter "O,” and ten checks entitles the girl to a WAA jacket with a small letter “O.” One check makes a girl eligible to member ship in the WAA. Games will begin Monday, January 18. All girls planning to enter into the basketball games must report to room 207 Ger linger hall Thursday, January 13, between 4 and 6 oclock for a heart check. the total effect is very charming Distinctive &nd smart, with a bit of old-fashioned charm, is Clare [goe's coiffure. She combs her hail up from her face, coils it into a roll at the top, then combs the rest into a long bob, and turns it up into a roll of curls on the ends. Gertie Goes Gall!muting; Tells All in Letters Home Addressed to: Miss Augusta Gooding Gooper City Dear Gussy: Well, toots, here I am again bringing you by "direct control a play by play account of little Ger tie’s life at the U. I want to tell you, Sugar, what I go through is something my mother should know! but far be it from me to tell her. You should have seen the Gabler I drew for a date last night. Boy, wias he the answer to this maiden’s prayer. And could he swing it! Well, honey, I want you to know that the way he flung those limbs of his’n around would made As taire look like a rank amateur. Had a bit of trouble over the date I might add. It seems that we are supposed to be tucked away in our beddy-by’s at the ghastly hour of 12:15 and what with one thing and another the time just flitted by and the new heart-throb didn’t shove me in the front door until some hour and a half after the dead-line. The house-mother was a bit upset about the whole affair. I don’t think she believed me when I told her that I hadn’t learned to tell time yet. • I may not get this mailed until tomorrow. I'm doing time for last night's little incident and they tell me that I'm to stay inside after sun-down until I learn to read the clock. I trust you’ll not turn into a one woman broadcasting station about this little matter. I fear the old folks and the beloved home-town boy-friend, Frankie, might not un derstand. Yours till housemothers become human, Gertie.

I think that I shall be stay ing in every night for quite a while because the housemother thinks that college girls should spend more time in the house. I imagine she gets lonely. Oh, by the way, did I forget to tell you in my last letter that I am all out of money and could use a check any time you remember to send it.
