This means that bridge games in the Side, dancing at the park or on the campus, dinners, desserts, and all other forms of amusement which constitute gay life at the “U” are gone for the present, making society just plain nil. The one bright spot in our future—until vacation—is the gala spring opening, which will be spon sored by the Eugene merchants and the chamber of commerce Fri day night. It’s our one chance for a break from study and will be well worth the time it takes. Window displays are being ar- j ranged in all the downtown stores awaiting the formal opening of the spring season and exciting 1939 fashion parade which will be hailed when the veils are removed Friday evening. Music will fill the streets and gaiety will reign as the University band, the Eugene high school band, and the IOOF municipal band play for the occasion. A motion picture on modern inventions entitled “Let’s Go America’’ will be put on by J. T. Anderson, it was an nounced. With all the interesting pre-sea son fashion news given in the leading style magazines, the revela tions which we’ve been w'aiting for will undoubtedly bring many “ohs” and “ahs” from the assembled crowd.

Sweaters Remain Partly because suits will be go ing over so big, and partly on their own merits, sweaters are de cidedly coming back for spring. The classic sweater, although still well able to hold its own in any spring opening is being pushed aside for the moment and the dressmaker bursting forth. The newest thing is the hand painted sweater. The designs have a soft suedy texture unlike the usual painting on fabric and won't rub or come off with washing and cleaning. These run quite a bit higher in price than the embroid ered models, but offer all kinds of daintily trimmed designs. For spring evenings, a soft sweater with just enough chenille embroid ery and with cut glass buttons is shown. Often tiny flowers trail around the neck of the sweater, or down the front and around the bot tom. Occasionally one large floral design may cover the pocket.

In the usual circumstances tlic answer to this question would be “No,” as it is the man's place to thank you. You should tell him that you enjoyed the dance or that he was welcome to the dance, but never, unless you know him very well and a(re joking with him, thank him. How should I act around a patron and patroness? This is a problem to many stu dents, however, it isn’t a problem unless you make it so. Patrons and patronesses are asked to go to the various dances. Most of them would prefer to have the ■weekends to themselves. How ever, many of them accept your invitations to your house dances as a favor to you, because without them your dance would not be al lowed to continue. And how do you treat them? A story was told to me by one of the professors who with his wife came as a patron and patron ess to a living organization’s dance. During the course of the evening, they talked to three peo ple, two of them were there for the same reasons as themselves, and the other was a freshman who managed to ask them if they en joyed the dance in a strained voice just as they were leaving. When you invite them to your dances why don’t you show them a good time? The above incident is typical of the attention paid to the patrons at many dances. Another professor mentioned the time he and his wife went to a fac ulty dinner. His wife, who was talking to several girls in the guest room, was late in leaving. Just as she was telling the girls good bye, a freshman walked in the room and with a sigh said, "Thank gosh that's over with.” My advice to you is to keep in mind that not only are the patrons and patronesses human, but that they attended school once them selves.

Orchid Etiquette With all the fellows? buying orchids for their best girl friends the, time has come to reappraise them, to understand their possibilities, to avoid the pitfalls of ignorance. First of all, an orchid should not be ordered haphazardly, that is after you have decided to get one in the very first place. “Send an orchid or two to Miss (name your own) and put it on my account,” is not the way to go about this delicate business of pleas ing and beautifying a lady. Be Discriminating Orchids have become to bo taken for granted because the average male seems to think they will go with anything, any time, however some orchids are made to order for certain colors and certain occa sions. There are 15,000 varieties of orchids, ground types and epiphytes the “air” orchids. So use discrimination. Those who know their orchids make each gift an event not soon to be forgotten (we’re assuming the girls quit raving within two weeks about the common one they receive ordinarily - ?). Quantity has something to do with the impression made. Sometimes vasefuls are sent at a time. Be Economical Of course, this can run into money. You probably will want to limit yourself to a $10 maximum, except for special occasions. If it’s to be a little splurge, do try some of the darker types. They range from $7 to $10 now. Not long ago they were considered among the rarest flowers and brought from $18 to $25. Going to the other end of the color range is the white orchid. Look carefully, however, and you’ll see this isn't a pure white. There is a tinge of yellow. Don’t be staggered at the price asked for some of the better whites, just remember that one firm once paid $10,000 for a single white orchid plant because of its “clearness.” Sometimes the smaller varieties are justified, these may be made up in bands of 6 to 30, tailored to your pocketbook. When in doubt send dandelions. riaiijj Sliodes Dust rose, navy, black, berry (darker than dusty rose), hori zon blue, royal blue, wheat tan, mulberry, orchid, blush, beige, fuchsia, wisteria, cyclamen. Costume Jetuelrtj Costume jewelry may be said to fit in closely with the old adage of “things changing with the weather.” In a sense this is very true, because spring and summer jewelry shows an air of lightness and freshness the same as may be noted in clothes of the different seasons. This spring we find almost ev ery coed wearing a locket with campus clothes, silk dresses, and even formals. They are for the most part gold, and many of them display a fraternity crest on the top. Smartness for evening is achieved by placing the locket on a velvet ribbon about the neck and wearing it with one of the season's smart strapless formals. Flowers and Jewelry Choker necklaces, attractively jeweled, and matching dinner rings add a note of sophistication to for mal attire. The popular idea this spring will be the combination of flowers and jewelry in the new flower leis of pastel hyacinths or similar early spring flowers. For more informal wear, attrac tive nonsense jewelry is deserving of special mention. Not only is it fun to wear, but it does much to improve on a last season's dress which really should be worn again this year. Pins, clips, bracelets, necklaces, in silver and gold fin ish, featuring fish, birds, bugs, flowers, animals, or most anything you can imagine in miniature, will be in style. Spring Bouquets Jewelry of hand-made pottery flowers in soft pastel shades will J also be worn for both sport and dress occasions, as will single strand pearls of ivory or pink cast, and the heavier multi-strand, mul ti-colored twisted strings of bright beads. Lapel pins have a period of pop ularity almost every spring. This time they will be in the form of tiny flower pots holding gay spring bouquets.

B.B. SHOTS. By B. Bowman Spring? Crawling out of the layers and layers of covers these crisp morn ings with bitter protests after get ting all worn out from staying up most of the night to work on that paper that just has to get in, one wonders if all this hullaballo about spring isn't a dreadful mistake. Why spring means romance, ad venture, new clothes and a hair cut — and thei-e just isn’t time for any of them these days. Alaska Bound Speaking of adventure and shop ping for new clothes—a gal with a new angle on things is Nancy Netherland. She is Alaska bound March 15, so shopping for her takes on new complications. For instance none of the spring open ings will feature what to wear on a dog sled trip, and the last ten miles of her trip will be made in this manner. She is going to Matanuska val ley to nurse in the Palmer hospi tal. Since uniforms and shoes cost so much in Alaska she will be tak ing a lot of them with her. * »*: $ Success Story No. 2 Another girl who got a head start on those of us who will be looking for jobs as soon as school is out in June is Ruth Tawney.

And along with the short hob comes the sculptured, flat curls replacing the round chunky ones. Definitely passe is the ear-to-ear roll. Two new trends demanding at tention are the return of bangs and extreme parts. The bangs are not the usual ones which fall down on the forehead, but rather are brushed back softly to continue the smart moulded look of the spring styles. They will give softness to a rather severe coiffure and still enlarge the size and power of the female eye. Hats Show Hair The parts Will continue all the way back to the hairline and will carry out the tailored look. They will look especially good with the new hats which cover such a small portion of the head. Of great importance to many will be the fact that long hair styles are not completely out. It is doubtful if the American wo man will ever forsake the long bob, and for those who don’t look well in a short cut, these new versions of hair styles may be adapted to longer hair. mm by RUNS?

BROADWAY** 30 LAST BROADWAY Spring Ferer, Clothes Ferer Run Together By PEGGY BOBBINS Spring fever and clothes fever are practically synonymous in feminine thoughts. With the first warm days, the Oregon coed fran tically begins to assemble her w ardrobe for spring. With a vague outline in her mind as to the “clothes that will do and those that won’t,” she desperately weeds out her closet and accessory drawers. Search Begins She skims the fashion maga zines, examines spring openings in the newspapers, and gazes wist fully at the early-bird displays in the shop windows. Then with a firm determination to stick by her plans (and within her budget), she selects her outfit. Her selection is influenced by the fact that clothes are bright, with classical tailored lines, and unusual color combinations. The keynote is “practicability.” Hats, in the masculine eye, will remain as crazy as ever. Ribbons will con tinue to hold down stray locks, and flowers will make their debut as accessories to brighten many cos tumes. for a typical Oregon student s wardrobe one coed will be trailed through a typical Friday. From Dawn Up with the call girl, she sings before breakfast as she slips into a fresh cotton print. Her new fuschia make - up harmonizing beautifully. Down to breakfast she clumps in nuarches and short an klets. Grabbing her finger-tip jacket, she tears off to class, after which she hurries home and changes to saddles in order to enjoy a game of badminton before lunch. Lunch over she remembers a date at the Side and a tea later in the afternoon. She chooses her tailored flannel dress suit with del icate white collar and suede shoes knowing that these follow correct taste for both affairs. The jacket suit may be worn with a blouse as a suit, or without one as a two piece dress. Till Dusk Friday evening she goes to the Park rejoicing that she has a pet $6.50 Non-crushablc, washabie prints in rayon styled in the trim lines of the tailored shirtwaist — in any of spring’s alphabet of colors. $3.95 to $7.95 ±. Dress Of The Week It was a lady in red-—flaming red velveteen who danced in the dress of the week at the Senior ball Saturday night. Alyce Rodgers was charming in a gay formal with a full flar ing skirt which hung gracefully to the floor, and a snugly fit ting bodice, that fastened with a long red zipper. In striking contrast was her corsage of white carnations, with one arranged in her dark curl3. Alyce wore two rhinestone bracelets and silver slippers to complement this colorful cos tume. ticoat dress of light wool with a dark silk taffeta flower of the same material as is the ruffled petticoat beneath the full bias-cut skirt. Over this she wears a reefer with full shirt made to fit the shorter dresses. When she gets home she climbs wearily into bed and begins to think of what to wear the next day.
