KRAMER BEAUTY SALON 1258 Kincaid - Phone 1880 Eugene, Oregon Outside Looking In Kathryn Kramer Prettiest girl at the Home coming dance, Lorraine Hixson wearing green velvet, with gold, and escorted by Walden Boyle, drama department “Heart throb.” For a powder base that is not only flattering to the skin, but waterproof and what’s more kiss-proof we name you Merle Noymans. Comes in three shades to suit any complexion. * * * Have you ever noticed the lovely hands of Edith Heath, Theta pledge? She wore the new Suez shade of Revlon at the dance Saturday night and most effective it was, too! * * * We saw some nifty dancing by a colored couple, also enjoyed the “Lambeth Walk” as given in lesson form by Harry Barris, but for a pair of really “Hot foots” I nominate Jimmie Morri son of the College Side, who may be seen at the Park most any Saturday night, doing his stuff. * * * Two cute couples promenad ing—Jeanne Bonness and Gus Meyers — Virginia Moore and Frank Drew. For girls interested in the theater, no bob is quite as prac tical as the Page-Boy. Kay McAlear saw it worn on Broad way this summer by many show girls. Her own hair is very smart worn in that fashion, and she is a clever girl who does not attempt to wear her hair up swept urless it suits her. Another long bob which in trigues us is Chi Omega's Pat McCarthy’s. Worn with center part and wide deep waves it gives Pat plenty of umph! This is an example of what excellent care will do for your hair, plus the careful attention Kramer's give to keeping the scalps in Condition for their patrons. If you have read this far it might interest you to know that any Coed who sees her name in this column, which will ap pear monthly, w'ill receive free of charge a service at THE KRAMER BEAUTY SALON, if her appointment is made within three days from the date of its appearance. The service will be a different one each time. This month an Oil Manicure is in order. Quote — “You can still keep your back hair and not be a fcaek number." — witness Rita Wright. We liice :t down Rita! An Oregon Pigger—Again a Familiar Scene Pigging to Start in Earnest With Sale of1939 Guide Wednesday Seated in his easy chair, phone in hand, and his trusty “Pigger's Guide” by his side, the Oregon pigger will go to work Wednesday when the new 1939 streamlined issue of the student directory comes out. Editor-Manager Roy Vernstrom hopes to have picked an opportune time for presenting the new guide. Many social events on slate for the weekend, plus a brilliant moon at nights are ideal conditions in which to initiate the new directory, he indicated. No longer will the University information bureau be swamped with such inquiries as “Well, she said *V/U auu 1 lv- V t her last nime started with an M, can you tell me her phone num ber?” The new edition of the guicfe will contain over 3000 students’ names, from Audrey Aasen to Adelaide Zweifel, and also the faculty direc tory. Also included in this year’s issue of the guide is a brief history of the word “pigging” written by Editor-Manager Vernstrom. Over 200 man-hours of work were re quired to turn out the guide, Vern strom said. Typing of the copy took up the most time, requiring the work of six typists working for 12 hours each. Copyreading took two students 13 hours each; while proofreading required the services of two stu dents for 17/ hours. Time spent in selling advertising and other miscellaneous work was estimated by Vernstrom as well over 70 hours. “We had a hard time trying- to make out some of the handwriting of the students,” Vernstron| re ported in commenting on his work. “One thing outstanding I noticed in this connection and that was nearly 50 per cent of the students write poorly,” he said. This fault was particularly noticeable in the writing of upperclassmen, the freshmen and sophomores being fairly good writers, Vernstrom said. Kreisler Captivates j Audience with Violin Mastery of Touch Draws Three Calls For Encores Fritz Kreisler thrilled an audi ence of 4,000 with the haunting strains anl- melliflous tones that flowed from his 200-year-old Guar nerius violin last night in McAr thur court. An enthusiastically appreciative audience brought the master vio linist back three times to the stage for encores. Judging from the applause the second or adagio movement of Viotti's Concerto in A-minor was, a high spot of the concert. Kreisler’s stage manner was ; devoid of theatrical mannerisms. He started simply, quietly, and | with the first note the audience felt that they were listening to the ; real thing. The artist was dressed in black, wearing tails. His light grey hail', en brosse, waved oeca i sionally as he tossed his head on the quick passages. 1 The melancholy chords of Bee thoven’s Romance, in F-major ! drew heavy applause, as did the brief but tender air of Debussy i Hartmann's La fille avec cheveux de lin. The violinist opened the pro program with the Devil’s Trill by Tartini, always a favorite among soloists because it gives opportun ity for the artist to exhibit techni cal mastery of his instrument. Carl Lamson accompanied Mr. Kreisler on the piano. George Root, educational activities direC' tor introduced Mr. Kreisler. t Donut Volleyball (Continued from page tioo) The victors in yesterday's intra mural A league volleyhall games, were Canard club.

Football Was Formerly No Gentleman’s Sport, Old Publication Avers While the names of Graybeal, Gebhardt, and Nicholson make fem inine hearts flutter today, a half-century ago when football first saw the light of day at Oregon it was frowned on by the student publica tion, the Oregon Monthly, as “not a sport gentlemen may indulge in." Although football was introduced to the campus in 1893, Oregon’s eleven coached by Cal Young, now county commissioner—downed Albany college in a 42-0 contest, even as late as 1898 and 1890 faculty and students alike give little or no support to the sport. I Plans for Building Accepted bg PWA Plana for the soon-to-be-built Humanities building were approved and accepted by the national PWA and were published for the first time on November 5 to be fol lowed by a second publishing on November 12, according to con struction authorities. Bids for the building will be heard in Portland on November 23. The building committee com posed of Robert W, Ruhl, Med ford; Beatrice Walton Sackett, Marshfield; and F. E. Callister, Albany, will meet on November 26 to discuss the bids. Construc tion is scheduled to start not later than December 12 on this $120,000 project. | The building will be situated directly east of Condon, and will be of the same size and height as tlje latter. It will be of fireproof brick exterior, modern in all re spects. The first floor will house the Co-op, the second, the school of arts and letti rs, and the third, the department of home economics.

Then they didn't have an “Oliver Twist” to the game; but merely enlisted the kindly efforts of a local business man to train then'. Coach Young, who now lives near Eugene, had learned the rudiments of the game at what is now known as Hill’s Military academy in Portland. No Passes Allowed Emerald files show that it was against official rules to use for ward passing then, and the flying wedge was the most popular play. Tacklers were evaded by a straight arm in the face, and altogether, Cal Young said a few years ago at a reunion of the old team, the old grid contests were much harder on the men physcially than they are today. One of the features of the alum ni section of the special Home coming exhibit on display at the library this weekend is a photo graph of the first game with Al bany. The contest was played about where Oregon hall now stands, and a hundred or so peo ple stood on the sidelines, with their horses tied to a fence nearby.
