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 ?

“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.

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

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.

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.
