I hope it rains torrents on Eas
ter morning! I hope that it is so
wintry that no normal human be
ing would venture forth in any
thing but galoshes, umbrellas and
dull, drab clothes.
But wait . . . before I go any
farther I must get rid of the men!
* * *
Today I’m going to talk girl
talk . . . about new Easter bon
nets and veils and flowers and . . .
oh . . . just stuff. The sort of talk
that men sniff at audibly and re
mark with supercilious expres
sions on their smug men faces that
“That's just like a woman. Not
interested in anything but clothes
and . . they add to themselves,
“US.”
And so lest some stray male
should happen to fall in between
the pages on his way to the sport
news and be tempted to steal a
furtive glance in this direction I
shall head today’s backseat driv
ing “For Women Only!”
All men who venture past this
paragraph do so at their own risk.

And now, what was I saying?
Oh, yes . . . about rain on Easter.
Yesterday I decided to meet
spring more than half way, and
donning my ancient raincoat
(aged four years this term) and
my very best optimistic smile I
trudged forth with Alice Toots to
buy a new Easter hat.
Now to Alice Toots and me
there is no pastime quite so pleas
urable, no entertainment so charm
ing, no funny paper so excruciat
ing as is the simple task of trying
on the season’s latest styles in
hats.
May I suggest that if you are
•feeling a bit on the jaded side of
life you really should go down
some afternoon and spend an hour
or two at it. For a pick-me-up I
can think of nothing- better.
The first couple of hours we
just wandered about enjoying our
selves, trying on inverted tea-cups
made gay with spashing crimson
roses and black straw soup bowls
that were designed to sit at an
angle over one eye, going into hi
larious gales of girlish giggles
over each new find until we were
stared out of the store by sales
ladies’ haughty glares.
Then we got down to the busi
ness of picking and choosing in
earnest, and that's where our trou
ble began.
You s<M*, Alice Toots goes in for
the more dashing' type of chapeau,
and I cling to the good old conser
vative styles with crowns that
look like hats and not like lop
sided egg baskets draped with
veils.
“Do you like this?” 1 would ask,
meekly tipping my head so she
could get the full charm of the lit
tle number 1 was considering at
the moment.
• “Positively not,” she’d set her
foot down emphatically. "Makes
you look like Queen Marie. How
about this?” And she would
shove down over my eyes a froth
of dotted netting that obstructed
the view and practically put a stop
to my breathing.
“Nothing doing,” I would re
tort. “Think I’m going around be
hind this camouflage all summer?”
We became quite bitter about
it and finally after much ado dur
ing which the sales girls gathered
around and watched with inter

Veiled Threat
A menace to any man's equilibrium will be this demure black straw
hat with its charming- veil and chin strap. The delicate lace collar with
its gay ruff effect adds to the femininity of the costume.
Whole Oregon Campus Enjoys
Pastimes of Fine Spring Weather
By MARGE FINNEGAN
Believe it or don’t—some people are actually wondering what to
do with their spare time in this super-colossal spring weather. (Mean
ing those hours when it doesn’t rain.) It would seem the only trouble
that should arise would be in trying to decide just what to do first.
With the exception of a few unenthusiastic dullards, students are
finding spring activities really fun. The University tennis courts, as
well as the one belonging to the SAE boys, are well filled all day
long, and many a lovely maiden is now a golf widow—unless she enjoys
the game herself.
Intramural baseball is now in
full swing, with both the boys and
girls batting ye old softball around
the field.
It’s a little early for swimming
in the mill race, an Alpha Phi re
ports—she should know, too, as
she tried it 'Saturday morning, and
br-r-r-r-r, she’s still shuddering.
Picnics are always fun—unless
you are one of those poor unfor
tunates who gets poison oak eas
ily. For the past two or three
weeks we have seen groups of
couples headed, with basket lunch
es, toward the Meadows, up the
McKenzie, across the mill race, or
to any of the other prominent pic
nic grounds Oregon students have
been haunting in past years.
Bicycle jtiding is .becoming a
more popular pastime than ever
before. It's loads of fun, good ex
ercise, arid an inexpensive amuse
ment. It does one’s old heart good
to see the beaming faces of the
pedalers ruling merrily across the
campus. (Giving never a care for
mid-terms, which are less than a
week away.— Paid plug.)
Roller skating' is fun, too, but
we haven’t noticed much of that
sport so far this year. Perhaps
they have a fear of skinning their
knees.
The Delts and Tri-Delts have
even reverted to the play of their
youth—and report it is “more
fun!” They’ve been playing ‘Run
Sheep-Run” on nice evenings. The
Phi Delts, Pi Phis, and Alpha
Chis play baseball on their street.
Such are the joys of spring—
Tra-La! So, if you’ve been one of
these old sticks, who is not en
joying it in all its glory, now is the
time to start. Toss away your win
try scowl and get out in the air,
for rosier cheeks and a new spring
smile.
