These stations, recognizable by their attached slogan, “Write a letter home to mother—we pay the freight!” will furnish pen and ink, Mother’s weekend stationery and postage. All the students need do is the writing,-or dictating if that job proves too hard. Kwamas will act as postmis tresses. Tables will be placed be tween Oregon and Commerce and on the library terrace. Providing the weather permits these postal stations will be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. starting Monday. The committee for Mother’s weekend, which met yesterday, completed plans for the Mother’s day banquet which is under the di rection of Florence Sanders. In vited to speak at the banquet are j Elisabeth Stetson, AWS president; , Barney Hall, student *body presi ! dent; and Dr. Donald Erb, presi j dent of the University. Classes with the most mothers present will be announced at the banquet. The Oregon Mother’s committee has arranged to have a section of the balcony at the Junior prom reserved for the mothers. Punch will be served. The Eugene churches have co operated in offering special Moth er’s day services for all visitors ! on May 8th. Dr. Howe Asks Studes About I. Q. of Eggs Instructors have asked ques tions and instructors have asked questions, but Professor H. C. Howe of the English department takes all honors for the question he put before his survey of literature class, Friday morning. “What does an egg know?” he asked. The following answers were submitted by students after 15 minutes of deliberation: “An egg knows that it knows nothing. There is nothing for an egg to know so why should it know anything!” “An egg knows nothing — it doesn’t need to these days—mo dern inventions teach it to hatch or fry.” “I don’t know what an egg knows, so I guess the yolk’s on me.” “An egg is the one thing that really knows life as it is, with out any ‘misallusions’.” “I bet an egg knows which comes first ...” The correct answer to the question, according to the philo sophy of author Samuel Butler, is that an egg knows how to create the legs and wings of a chicken, and it knows how to create the body of a human be ing/ MRS. TURNIPSEED TO TALK Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of the dorms, will talk to the members of Orides and inde pendent women in the AWS room in Gerlinger hall on the subject, “Girl and Boy Relations,” it was announced ycoterday by Harriet West, newly-elected p r e x y of Orides. “MR.

A. students”: WHEREAS the law school student body, in patience and long suffering, has sustained innumerable insults of the most dastardly sort of hands of sai<} BA students, to-wit: 1. Our integrity and honesty have been assailed by unwarrant ed aspersions cast upon the fairness of the umpire at the last game. 2. The said B.A. students have failed* refused, and neglected to do us the homage which is our due as undisputed soft-ball cham pions. 3. Various and sundry of said B.A. students have defiled our palatial new library by intruding thereupon to carry on the low form of cerebral (?) activity which they ludicrously term "study ing.” 4. Said B.A. students have trespassed upon those of our prem ises abutting 13th street to indulge in their disgraceful practice of picking up cigarette butts from our gutter, otherwise known as “snipe-shooting.” 5. An unreasonable and galling restriction has been imposed upon the tennis courts adjoining our library, solely that said B.A. students may rest undisturbed in their afternoon classes. THEREFORE the law school student body demands redress, to-wit that upon Saturday, April 30, at 2:30 p.m., the B.A. school assemble the least incapable of its assortment of butter-fingered stumble-bums to take the drubbing they deserve in a game of soft ball. WE FURTHER ADVISE that unless the B.A. “team” makes at least a creditable performance in this game, we shall cease to maintain sporting relations with them in the future; for the B.A. school will soon be situated at our back door, not our front, and we shall not deign to take further notice of its existence. THE LAW SCHOOL STUDENT BODY, Footlights ■— on —• Fashions — by — SUE PEIL and KATE MILLER Well, here goes a line of chatter about what the co’s and eds’ are wearing on the campus this term and where you can get it. RUTH TUSTIN, Oregon’s best woman golfer, is also Oregon’s best dressed woman golfer. She has a new rose tweed suit consisting of skirt with long fitted coat. By the way, Ruth came all the way from Southern California to buy this suit at Kaufman’s. Notice Kappa JEAN PARKER’S powder blue cash mere sweater; it’s the pure quill and very good looking. An Alpha Phi, BARBARA HENDERSON, came back from California with a very smart loose fitting suede jacket of pink complementary to her new green Buick— not that it needs complementing. Don’t you like brown and white saddle shoes for boys? JACK HANNEGAN, the Phi Delt flash from Boise, wears them very well indeed. You can get them at Graham’s. If you have a little Filipino blood in you, you can ap preciate VERN “DUDLEY FIELD SHOP’’ POMEROY’S new green suit. We like ANN STEVENSON’S Harris tweed coat. It’s grand for Spring and in the Fall will have that football air. They have them at Hadley’s. Probably there are lots of you who still haven’t had your initiation certificate framed. The Oriental Art Shop will frame them for you for only seventy-five cents. For the best dressed girl of the week we can’t decide between ESTHER HORSKOTTE and BETTY BURNS. We leave it up to you. Remember the tall exotic Theta at the Sigma Delta Chi dance in a deep paisley print and recall the blond Pi Phi at the Gamma Alpha Chi dance in a blue and white dotted swiss with plenty of skirt. As for the men we elect BUD BAKER of ATO—any one who has nerve enough to wear the flashy, but smart, clothes Bud wears deserves something (does that some thing mean a Pi Phi?) We have selected DR. MARDER as the best dressed faculty member of the week. He looks more like a Palm Springs playboy than a Professor. We like it, Dr. Marder. We’ll be back next week with Highlights of the Easter Parade. Keep your weather eye “PEILED.”
