Social Life Follows Game tojPortland Oregon's social life will move almost entirely to Portland this week end with the USC-Oregon game, leaving stay-at-homes with nothing to do but study. Maybe it's a good idea though with mid-terms next week. Oh, well! let’s be gay, and face Monday’s problems on Tuesday, next week. Friday night will find the Webfoot rooters marching through the Portland streets headed for the Uptown, which is to be the scene of a big rally dance. Little Wilbur discovered in an interview with members of the rally committee that a very peppy evening has been planned to start rooters cheering for the team Saturday, long before the game starts. w —---— No matter the outcome of the game, loyal Oregon supporters will again assemble for an evening of gaiety at Jantzen Beach. Not only dancing but stunts, yells and other features have been planned for this frolic which will begin at 9 o’clock. The rally committee and members of Skull and Dagger are in charge of the arrangements. Phi Chi Theta Entertains Phi Chi Theta entertained wo men in the business administration school Wednesday afternoon with a tea in Gerlinger lounge from 4 until 5:30 p.m. Miss Ruth May Chilcote, alumni adviser for the chapter, poured during the after noon.

Bowman —————————————— On Entertaining Or “Things That Make Desserts a Success.” That fraternities entertain dif i ferently is a recognized fact, anti is really a good thing. But that some houses entertain well and others do not isn’t so good. The fundamentals of dessert entertain ing apply to most informal enter taining. Entertaining of any sort is pure ly a matter of manners—knowing what to do. The slightest bit of uncertainty makes for awkward moments. On other campuses the men’s houses have hostesses to di rect this side of fraternity life. Recently a few of the houses have been having sorority house moth ers over for dinner and to give them a few hints. Since keeping things moving at a dessert is the chief factor mak-, ing for success, the following sug gestions might be checked: Forethought—or giving atten tion to the set:up should include seeing that the rooms are com fortable, as well as the dessert it self appropriate. (As traditional as ice cream is—a change on a cold day might be an idea.) Stud ied obvious preparation is not ad vised, but there should be enough forethought to do away with pauses. Start Dancing—as soon as the gals start arriving, don’t stand around and try to make small talk —save that for the table. Going into dessert—is a proced ure quite well known. That of tak- j ing the house mother in first. If the president isn’t dating a girl in i the house the courteous thing is! for him to escort the chaperon. Gfnformal singing—at the table or j around the fire helps create an in formal atmosphere. Some of the, houses sing at the very beginning of the evening, helping set things off on the right note. If the houses concerned are not well acquainted more attention should be given to keeping the con versation going on topics of uni versal campus interest. And then don't linger at the table, just time enough for dessert and perhaps a. cigarette.

THE BROADWAY INC ZO SO Bast Broadway uiUittUHiiiiik: UQ Coeds Show Good Taste, Say Portland Buyers By MARGE FINNEGAN Oregon coeds show good taste in their selection of campus clothes, especially sweaters and skirts, commented Doris Wills, sportswear buyer for Charles F. Berg’s in Portland, who was a vis itor cn the campus Tuesday. The trend of style this fall has been for separate jackets and skirts to take the place of suits for general sportswear, she re ported. Tweeds and imported woolen fabric jackets, cleverly tailored, worn with plain skirts have been most popular. Another fashion to which girls have been very partial is the re versible coat, featuring a gabar dine rain coat on one side and swagger coat of Shetland or cam el’s hair on the other. These come in either plain or plaid fabrics. i avorite (Juttits “Sweaters and skirts, always the college girl's favorite outfit, are much more attractive and inter esting this season,” she said. Sweaters with skirts dyed to match exactly are new and are en joying wide popularity. Teal, wine, boy blue, copper tones, and rose are the best shades, and navy, blac*k, and brown are always good. The old cry of “I can’t wear a full pleated skirt because I have large hips” doesn't go over any longer. Miss Wills went on. Skirts with from 30 to 40 pleats all the way around can be worn by girls of all sizes. Having the pleats stitched below the hip gives a smoother line and makes them easy to wear. Suede sleeveless jerkins in slip cn or button-down-the-front styles in any of the new high shades, over soft silk shirts and with plaid skirts, make grand sports outfits too. Proper Skirt Length When questioned as to the prop er length for skirts this year, Miss Wills replied that 15 to 17 inches from the floor was correct. This gives a leeway of two inches for differences in height or legs. “Ski clothes are to be different and exciting this winter,” she said. “Girls on other campuses are al ready buying parkas, as a part of their outfits. Yes, parkas will be worn, and in contrasting colors with the new “down-hill pants.” Ski trousers will be fitted below the knee, with sox worn under neath, to keep the snow out.” Gray will be the favorite color, with navy running a close second. Contrasting, a goid parka will be correct with gray pants, and red with navy, she concluded. have ash trays—putting ashes in the saucers is frowned upon. Cutting in—is not only done but should be encouraged. It is one ot the sure ways of letting the girls know that they are being enjoyed. Everyone likes to exchange every few minutes and not be with the same man all evening. In other words the fellows should be cor dial to everyone. A touch of boisterousness—is O. K., but it can be carried too far. Ilcfusing a dessert invitation for any reason but a full calendar is uncultured snobbishness. After all we are democratic, and that should make for friendliness and equality. As a last gesture saying good night to the housemother adds tone and pleases both the house mother and the girls. Before writing this article, not trusting personal opinion too much, a few housemothers were consulted for ideas. They agreed that the fraternities would do well to review such details which might have been forgotten, as most so rorities do each time before enter taining. Classic Topcoat The classic wool topcoat this season is often in three-quarter length. This version is smartly styled on straight lines in rose and green tweed. The skirt over which it is worn is of rose-colored wool in Shetland weave, with navy wool fishnet scarf. Weddings Head List Of Alumni Activities Mararet DeYoung and Budding ton B.

And here we are with some outfits and ac cessories you'll need from the foot ball stadium to the big hotels. Autumn has suddenly brought us the football season with its games here and there. On a quick trek to San Francisco for one of the big games we saw many of the smartest costumes of the season. Suede has invaded fashion with great excitement. We saw more than one rugged suit revealing a new verve and originality. A whole coat was made of suede in a dark burgundy shade which comple mented a softly colored blue suede suit. These were well-cut like the best of tweeds—moulded waist lines even—little pockets—yokes, and all the finest details. And with a wool suit we saw many of the shorter suedes. They were com bined modishly with tweed skirts and sweaters. But, if you cannot afford to add a whole jacket or costume of suede to your ward robe, by all means consider an accessory or two. Possibly it will be a hat and a bag, a vestee, or even a scarf and gloves. Individuality Stressed (The individuality of our mongrel race was stressed in the breath takingly daring designs and the coquettish, frivolous models found lurking in the glamour and glitter spots. The indispensable black for mal gown with jacket was noticed as a sleek silhouette against the skyline in the Sky Room of the Empire. The boredom of the black was broken with dramatic gold bro caded on the luxurious jacket la pels. Complimented beautifully by the shaded lights in the Rose Room of the Palace, the era of 1860 was created by a young siren in a flut tering, taffeta gown, frail-waistcd and petticoated, with the age-old appeal of swooning femininity. Portland Mothers To Have Tea Friday Mothers of all Portland fresh men at the University of Oregon will be guests at tea on Friday, October 28, in Portland. Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, and Mrs. Alice B. Mac duff. assistant dean of women, will be in the receiving line at the function. Mrs. C. C. Wintermute is presi dent of the organization. Lovelorn, Ltd. By Burkerickson Some forgetful person left his opinions of blind dating in a li brary book. His anonymous views seem to fit into the picture. It is titled: THIS THING CALLED LOVE or Love You Funny Thing It wasn't my fault. I wouldn’t have taken the date, but Tommy's girl liked her and wanted to see her get around. I didn't have any, excuse and they bought my ticket to the Little Theatre. When she came down the stairs, I grabbed Tommy. She was dressed in raspberry or something which hung on her like portieres. She had a mole somewhere on her nose, which is being a little indef inite. She had horn-rimmed glass es over eyes that totally ignored each other. Her hair was dishwa ter blond. She like me, of course, and told me so all the way down. When we danced I couldn't pre vent her knees from knocking mine although I held her away as much as possible. •Going home she said she liked my car better than hers. I asked what kind of car she had and she said it was a Packard. I wondered what business her father was in and she said he was president of a bank. In June we were married. (Note: If the writer of this so called masterpiece will submit his name, he will be given all due credit in the next edition.) Dear Burkerickson: ’Yesterday I saw a girl, not just a girl, but the girl. One of my fra ternity brothers has promised to arrange a date for me with her. Since this is my first year at Oregon, I'd like to know the prop er blind date procedure to make a good impression on the girl. Can you give me a few sugges tions ?v Sincerely, l HERB. Deal1 Herb: Your letter gives us an oppor tunity to make suggestions that a number of peoplo have been ask ing about in regard to blind dating. In the first place, quite the nic est thing you can do, after the date has been arranged, is to phone the girl and talk to her yourself. After the first shock of receiv ing such an unexpected courtesy, she will probably ask you to call.

AWS is considering renting a local theater occasionally to show outstanding moving pictures pro duced abroad. If this is done, it will probably be in conjunction with American Association of University Women. Since raising money would be the primary ob jective of the activity, the financial aspects will be discussed at the council meeting tomorrow. A new treasurer will be selected by the council to replace Jean Bonness, elected last spring, who did not return to school. tension of an ordinary blind date. If, however, she doesn’t ask you to call, your telephone conversa tion should at least give you some clue to each other's interests. But do remember that one blind date doesn’t give you the right to monopolize all the rest of the girl’s time. If you would like to see her again, tell her so, then make your next date a little later by tele phone. * * * Dear Burkerickson: Blind dating for freshmen seems to be the accepted practice, but what are the rules of etiquette about it for upper classmen? I am a junior, and as I do not go ‘‘steady," there are times when blind dates are offered me. Should I accept them? FRANCES. Dear Frances: One or two blind dates a year generally cure an upperclassman, but we wouldn’t advise you to re fuse them altogether. There are exceptions to every rule. The most important Don’t is not to accept blind dates to formal dances, or important house dances unless they have been especially arranged by a good friend, or if it’s to be a double date. Rally dances and theater dates are the best blind bets, and will largely have to be left up to your individual discrimination.
