Good morning-, you poor unfortu
nate wretches who go about hap
pily unconscious that the world is
a eroo-el, croo-ei place in which to
live and that life is but a shell.
Good morning to you, and may
jour day be a pleasant one (al
though, alas, I don’t see how it
can be).
This morning, oh unhappy day!
I arose with a stiff neck, broke
both the straps on my one good
slip, pulled a runner in my last
pair of hose, and got to mj- nine
o’clock 15 minutes late only to dis
1^' cover that we had had a ten-min
ute quizz at the first of the hour.
^ ou will pardon my woe ?
But lest I throw a shadow across
j our sunny paths with my great
gloom, my dear readers (I haven’t
the heart to pull the old gag about
“my two readers” again. Besides
the latest census gives me some
reason to doubt that there are two
of them), I turn my column over
to Elisabeth Stetson, guest artist

Advice to Students
For those who go to college
But not in pursuit of knowledge
You must not be too particular
About what falls into your cur
ricular.
Rush Week
“My what an attractive dress . . .
Certainly our house is the bes.
Won’t you come and have a smoke?
Oh, I heard the cutest joke:
You simply must see our new room.
Don’t . . . his classes are like a
tomb.
We’d love to help you register.
(Aside) Where did she get that
fur
And why are we rushing her?’’
Spare Time
I came in to sit and talk.
It began about clothes and men,
You told me how your dates were
ten.
Next time I’ll talke a walk.
Activities
It’s over . . .
I’m through . . .
Activities, not any more!
I’ll do ,some playing too.
"Oh, a meeting, you say, at four?”
A Pin ... or Success in College
The shouts, screams of girlish glee.
My curiosity gets the best of me.
Thru’ the open door word drifts
in . . .
Success, she has a fraternity pin.
Wisdom
I went to college for several years
Oipe tiling I fell you tlnougli lily
tears:
Only those who go to class
Are those who finally pass.
Grades
Life is wise, kind and gay
So some happy fools do say.
Really, it is a thing forlorn
to be taken and grimly borne . . .
My grades came home today.

Housemothers Keep
Jobs Inquiry Sh o ws
By BETTIE HAMILTON
“Do we want a new housemother?" is the question that arises at
this time of the year in the secret chapter rooms of the sorority
houses.
Only four sororities have “adopted” new housemothers this year.
Alpha Chi Os, Thetas, Gamma Phis, and Alpha Xi Deltas.
Each year the sororities vote on their housemothers and decide
if they are to keep their positions.
After questioning the house
mothers yesterday, it was found
that Mrs. Lucy Perkins takes the
1 honors for time of service having
been with the Alpha Delta Pi
house for 17 years, outnumbering
1 the others by six years. Mrs. Jen
nie Burrows, of the Sigma Kappa
sorority, claims 11 years. credit,
while Mrs. A. L. Wall comes third
with eight years as housemother
for the Alpha Phis.
Mrs. Paul B. Galer, of the Alpha
Xi Delta sorority, is the only one
out of the fifteen interviewed, who
| was affiliated with any sorority
during her college days. She was
a member of Alpha Xi Delta at the
University of Minnesota.
None of the housemothers at
tended the University of Oregon,
and only eight out of the fifteen
interviewed attended college. Sev
eral were graduates of private
schools.
The Alpha Chi sorority is the
only one which boasts an "import
ed” housemother, Mrs. R. B. Crum,
a newcomer this year, who was
born and raised in England.
Coed Tells the Things
She Likes About the U’
Editor's note: The female authoress of the following literary gem
frankly admits that she got her inspiration from Joel and Gertrude
Sayre's article in the March issue of Scribner’s entitled “What YVt
Liked About Hollywood.’’ She calls hers “Ten Things That Make Mi
Glad I Go to the ‘U’” but we couldn't make it count into a head so m
had to rename it.)
(1) The conscientious efforts of unconscientious students to cram
a whole term's education into their befuddled heads the night before
finals begin.
(2) The hopeful waiting line of hangers-on reclining uncomfort
ably in sway-backed wicker seats of corrugated torture around the
browsing room's two liver-colored leather easy chairs, and the way
these optimists keep one eye turned diligently on their books and the
other cocked toward the coveted lap of luxury as they crouch ready
to spring into it the moment the current occupant moves on.
(3) Those two industrious pranksters who spent a whole after
noon calling up every living organization on the campus with the an
nouncement that they were representatives of the city water works
and they wished to inform the hapless occupants that the water was
to be turned off. “We don't know how long it’ll be off,” they told each
house, “so you'd better fill everything you can with water.” Pande
monium reigned as frantic members set their pledges to filling every
thing from bathtubs' to tea-cups with the precious H20.
(4) That small white ball of canine fluff called “Hand-Kar,” the
orphan puppy someone left on the men's dormitory door-step one dark
and' stormy night and who is completely unschooled in the Emily
Postisms of dogdom.
(5) The lecture on jazz which Actor Par-excellence S. Stephenson
Smith gives to his class in criticism each winter term and the two
choruses of “Hold That Tiger” rendered with plenty of swing and eye
brow raising by Stevie himself which the hour’s lecture includes.
(6) The popular fallacies that all Phi Beta Kappas spend their
time in the library; that they are pale and emaciated; that they never
succumb to the pleasures of wine, women, and song, and that they all
go out of college to get jobs at a hundred a week. Also' that all play
boys eventually flunk out of school and end up in the nearest bread
lines.
(7) The definition of a kiss given by one of the campus’ more
scholarly students (perhaps the Phi Beta Kappa fellow above). “A
kiss,” he says "is the coordinating juxtaposition of two orbicular mus
cles in the state of contraction.” (Bet he's never had one!)
8. Gayle Buchanan's own private command performance of her
famous "crooked-mouth family” in which she performs the most as
tonishing contortions with her mouth and which invariably ends up
by the listener finding himself unconsciously twisting his own to
match the movements of the agile-mouthed Gayle.
(9) Dean Morris' straight-faced modesty as he tells his economic
classes, “The best paragraph written on this subject is that on page
94 in the book which I wrote about it and which you will find on re
serve in the library,” and, the twinkle in his eye as he says it.
(10) Spring term.
The New York City board of ed
ucation has ruled that aliens may
not be admitted free to the city's
colleges.
Two Nebraska Wesleyan univer
sity faculty members have been
dismissed to promote faculty har
mony.
Oregon State College has a com
plete course to train radio engin
eers.
A new institute for consumer
education lias been formed at Ste
phens college by the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation.
Air officials of 20 states, at their
recent convention, urged land
colleges to give flying instruction.
The University of Chicago sen
ate has approved a plan for award
ing master’s degrees in the social
sciences.
