1 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.

I jf 9m 1 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.
