Coeds Give Requirements For Campus Gentlemen By BETTY HAMILTON “You, too, can be popular boys,’’ is the attitude of representative Oregon coeds. After countless personal interviews a few of. the short cuts on this subject are herewith presented for what worth they may have. Every girl unanimously agreed that, to be popular, a lad must be a man’s man, and possess all the qualities of a gentleman. They also agreed that a man must have a sense of humor and definitely should not tell dirty jokes. “It is a reflection on my charac ter to have a boy tell me a joke of ill repute,” emphatically assert ed one female. “We like boys that are thought ful at all times. These selfish con ceited individuals are bores,” said another girl. According to these girls the man who takes them out and urges them to join him in excess drink ing is “dinged” immediately. “Be lieve me, when I go out with a ‘fasty’ or someone who is just nil, I tell all my sorority sisters so that they won't be a sucker, too,” stated a fiery red-headed miss. They insisted that “to go over with them” a man must be neat and wear clothes that fit. “The trouble with this campus is the boys think it’s smart to look slop py,” said another miss. Final specification for the pop ular man is that he should act natural and not try to put on a “show to impress, forgetting his childish ideas.” The girls believe that a smooth dancer is a more desirable date than a “one-two step-three” dancer.
