For Formal Swing
Pleats in formal skirts give that necessary swing to go with this
winter’s dance music. Besides pleats, the model above has bits of
crystals on the bodice which glitter like ice against the white satin.
Do I Bore You?
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

' 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.

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

The swish of crisp taffetta

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

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.

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.
