By SADIE MITCHELL Do I bore you ? is a question that gets more wrong answers than a final exam. When bore meets girl there is usually very little the girl can do to wriggle out of the situation in a ladylike manner. If he asks if she is bored nine out of ten girls lie—“Of course not. I’m having a wonder ful time”—and underneath it all they may even be willing to exchange his company for a long-time study session. A few Oregon coeds, however, have their own ingenious techniques on how to remove a bore ar, painlessly as possible. Yawn Advised i One young lady says wb on she is sitting in a booth in some campus cafe and a bore walks up with a — “Can I join you in a game of bridge?”—she always smiles mi says, “Sure, there’s always room for one more.” And that usually gets them. Another girl says consistent yawning will do it every time. “First I yawn, then I sigh,” she said. “It’s a good combination and it usually works.” Outbore a Bore Another miss admits she likes to beat a bore at his own game. “I usually sit around and try to outbore a bore,” she said, “and you’d be surprised how effective this is.” Another technique, and perhaps the smartest one, is this young lady’s method. “If I’m sitting in a booth, and I see a tried and true bore approach ing, I always say, ‘Why of course sit down. I was just going to order dinner.’ And I tell you, there’s nothing like it.” tending are asked to wear kitchen aprons. A radio dance will follow. Gamma hall will hold a preference dinner-dance Wednesday evening. Zeta Tau Alpha is having a Valen tine dinner Thursday night to honor Martha Brukner, president cf the sorority's Portland alumni association. Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Chi were guests at the Westmin ster house Wednesday afternoon for a social time. Hendricks hall is having a formal faculty dinner tonight. Fifty members of the fac ulty and their wives have been in vited. Delta Delta Delta will en tertain members of the faculty at dinner tonight. Guests will be Dr. H. J. Noble, Miss Florence D. Al. den, Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Spen cer, Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Ernst, Dean and Mrs. J. H. Gilbert. Phi Psi upperclassmen held a preference dinner and radio dance Wednesday evening from 0 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday the chapter v/ill go to Portland to celebrate the annual Founder’s day bancpict at the Uni. versjty club. District Attorney Laird McKenna, W. F. G. Thacher, and Jim Harding, president of the alumni association, will be guest speakers. FAIR MINDED PRINTS With everyone World’s Fair minded, new print patterns are taking a cross-section of the fair for their theme.

' And “them” are my sentiments likewise. Maybe it all comes about ( as a result of this column writing ; business- anyway it's enough to ■ drive one to such thoughts at times. For instance, the morning ; after (not the kind you're proba ! bly thinking of but the morning af ! ter your column appears) you are 1 time one wonders what would hap ; ing to know what you meant by writing this or that. Until some time one wanders what would hap ; pen if you wrote all you really know. At least it wouldn’t, be such a surprise to get the telephone calls. Hold the Phone The usual procedure for handling such calls is to assure the plaintiff that a count has been taken of all your readers and they total some five (think what an exclusive group you are in). If that isn’t enough and they insist on contin uing and there is time to listen, you simply hold the receiver while the monologue continues and pro ceed to plan the next column. And then there are the elements, or weather. When it rains one’s thoughts are not apt to be too cheerful nor inspiring. When it snows (now here it is harder to generalize) most columnists would either like a book and a fireplace, a snooze, or something equally stimulating. When the sun is shin ing and spring is in the air well no one likes to sit pounding a type writer with life going on outside. And so it seems there just isn’t such a thing as the right time. That's the way the columnist often feels, not to mention the reader. A Columnist’s Woes Now all of these things are im portant but there are more! Take the plight of an ex-Emerald colum nist, Clare Igoe. One just wouldn’t think such a thing could happen, but she once wrote a column on 1 corsages and her boy friend, the ! one and only Matt, took it as a direct attack upon the corsages ! he sent her. He would never again j buy her flowers unless she would j go to the florist and pick them j out! I j-iasuy, mere is the time when i you have to put off having the flu until the column is finished. That is the situation this time. Flash | Did I say lastly ? Well as I did, 1 what I thought was a bomb, or perhaps just another brickbat, came crashing through my closed window. It proved to be only a snowball playfully tossed by al passing Phi Delt. And they always looked like such nice boys. iSo with the gay north winds merrily whistling about my ears I send this column, which at present I feel may be my last, by trusted messenger, along with best wishes for my staff. I am sorry to have let my five readers down by not finding out what is to be in the humanity building, but perhaps next time. There you see I’m already plan ning on next time. Yours truly will return to the fold even though she may feel that she cannot ever be gay again. She belongs to the scribes that can not quit. 't** Valentine Greetings Does your heart beat for them? F--T-++-f-++*'T"W For brother or sister with ttie casual or slam-bang greeting they love. For mother or father, expressing the love or fun jests in the family circle. For the boy fricu'l or girl frir,n<i, we leave it to you—if you don’t love them, pan them—and either ease will satisfy you. If none of these will (lo, try Ferdinand Jr., Sally.

THE GIFT SHOP Next to Rex Theater WWtWtt Coeds Discuss Candidates for King of Hearts “Oh, I just love Bill Knight's cute smile.” “I’m going to vote for Harrison Bergtholdt; he reminds me of Gary Cooper, and I go for the tall western type.” “George Varoff gets my vote; he's as smooth on the dance floor as on the track field.” This is not the diary of a fresh man during fall term, but the con versation that has been heard in the houses this week over the 10:30 hamburgers and cokes. The girls are taking full advantage of the "Heart Hop,” at which they elect the most popular male on the campus to reign over the hearts of coeds for one afternoon. 19 Men Up vendetta it 10 usually an aiirac tive coed who holds the limelight for the position of Little Colonel or Junior Weekend Queen, this af fair places 19 handsome would-be kings before the feminine eye to be discussed, surveyed, eliminated, and finally one elected to the hon or of “King of Hearts.” Betty Coed will vote Monday af ternoon to elect the hero who rep resents the ideal man, whether he be the type of tall, dark Dave Sil ver, who reigned two years ago as the “King of Hearts,” or the blord. shy-appearing type of Jack Wagstaff, who served as one of the knaves on that occasion. Sophomore prexy, Stan Staiger, is surprisingly quiet on his candi dacy for the position. Jim Wells, Chi Psi heart throb, on the con trary, is campaigning in his be half. Every femme he meets on the campus is stopped and given the tantalizing Wells smile, with "Don’t you think I have a nice smile?” and "Don't you like my curly hair?" from this Casanova himself. Girl’s Date The dance will be a girls’ date affair, to which any girl purebas ing a ticket may take her own per sonal heart throb. The “Heart Hop” was not pre sented last year, but it is hoped that this year’s dance will prove as successful as it did two years ago and be continued in the future is an annual event.

EDDIE'S Hex Building Phone 260 Dress of the Week The swish of crisp taffetta announced the approach of Rita Wright, Oregon's Little Colonel, at the Military Ball, Saturday night. Yards and yards of black taf feta gathered at the waist to join with a snug fitting jacket, give Rita's dress its youthful , charm. The jacket was of quilt ed taffeta, with rhinestone bril liants sparkling here and there. Underneath it was a smartly cut decollete bodice, which can be worn without the coat. In striking contrast was Rita’s corsage of orchids, with its silver ribbon to match her i silver evening sandals. Men Confess Plans to Giee Valentines “My heart, alas, on Cupid's wing Hath taken flight and flown. But where it went, the foolish thing, Has never yet been known. If YOU should find it, ah, dear friend, I beg of you to see If you can find it’s home And bring it back to me.” However much the modern col legian decries sentiment in any form, even the most cynical mem ber of the sophomore class and his world-weary senior brother still believe in sepding their “best girl” a lacy valentine or a box of candy when St. Valentine's day comes around. And the girls ex pect to be remembered. Downtown stores report a rush ing business in valentines and pre dict an even greater increase dur ing the next two or three days. From the first grade in grammar school to college days the coeds have received tokens on Valen tine’s day, and confess looking for ward to a message, candy or flow ers.

I «K9saes9S9BsssssssBnas Soph Beards Give Coeds Much Trouble By MAKTIIA WODEAGE “I’d rather be right than hand some,” is the slogan our be whiskered sophs have adopted in the last few weeks as an alibi for their unkempt appearance. But the reason for their falling in line with the annual custom instead of maintaining their in dependence was not conferred until yesterday. It is their fear of the fairer sex, who has announced intentions of boycotting any sophomore who appears with a velvety-smooth complexion before Saturday’s dance. Which seems to indicate that the coeds do favor the cave man type, such as the real Jesse James is said to have been, and not the smooth-faced version portrayed by Hollywood's Ty rone Power. mot lor j.,ong Perhaps Jesse had to wear a beard to disguise his features or keep the wind from freezing his face, but, please' Lawd, don’t let anyone get the idea for a year round whiskcrino. Our faces are still sore from dancing with the bearded brummcls af the dime crawl. "I’m sure I said the wrong thing at the right boy Tuesday night,” a worried freshman la mented. "But how was I to knew it wasn't my boy friend behind that stubble?” Another freshman, when asked her opinion of the fuzz fad, frankly answered, "They’re hard to take. I won't kiss my daddy, if he hasn’t shaved for even one day.” The beards have also caused a major catastrophe in that many girls have gone without dates, because the girl who answered the phone in the house couldn’t understand the name of the poor soph was sifting through his beard.
