The merry-go-round from Salem has been assembled and will
operate all day, according to Mary Elizabeth Norvell, who arranged
for it to be brought here. This is being done in order to give everyone

Writing Stations to
Be Set up on Campus
Committee to Furnish
Materials on Which
To Write Mothers
Making a simple job more sim
ple, the student committee for
Mother’s weekend, May 6, 7, and 8,
is establishing writing stations on
the campus to encourage students
to write home immediately, invit
ing their mothers to the campus.
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

‘Alleged’ BA Studes Get
Lawyers’ Glove in Face
TO THE ALLEGED STUDENTS OF THE “SCHOOL” OF
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION:
Disdaining to recognize as an entity the “student body” which
has purportedly been formed from the disorganized rabble of
would-be office boys infesting the business ad. “school,” the law
school student body issues this CHALLENGE to any or all indi
viduals who are shameless enough to style themselves “B. 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.

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.”
