Light Note to Week’s Routine
By STELLA JEAN INGLE
House dances always come as a
welcome relief at the end of the
week from the routine of studying.
Spring formals take on a special
significance with each house at
tempting to make its dance the
top affair on its social calendar.
This weekend there will be seven
dances.
* * *
Holland will be depicted in the
theme of the Chi Omega’s spring
formal. An original note in decora
tions will be the popular wooden
shoes that are to be used as vases
for the multicolored tulips. Wood
en minatures of the shoes will
serve as programs. Music is to be
furnished by Jimmie Johnson’s or
chestra from OSC.
Chinese Garden
Dance Theme
The Chi Psis are going to dance
in a Chinese garden at their spring
formal. A lighted pagoda on the
millrace will furnish atmosphere.
Pat Riley’s orchestra from Port
land will provide music.
The motif for the Sigma Chi's
spring formal is to be centered
around a Japanese tea garden.
Programs will be metal with a
silhouette design. Art Holman's or
chestra will play for the dance.

ATOs Follow
Hades Motif
Satan’s shambles will be the
theme of the Alpha Tau Omega
dance. Decorations will follow the
hades idea. A canvas fence will
be stretched around the yard and
there will be tables within. Music
is to be furnished by Maurie Bin
ford’s orchestra.
Pledges of Sigma Kappa are giv
ing their house dance. There is an
element of suspense in'their plans
as they are not willing to reveal
the theme. Bonnie Holmes wili
play for the dance.
Spring flowers will decorate the
Alpha Gamma Delta house at their
dance Saturday night. It will be a
semi-formal and Carl Roen’s or
chestra will play for the dance.

Queer Hats Cause
Masculine Comment ! -
_ \
By M. FINNEGAN , (
With men making more and
more cracks every season about
Lhe queer looking “collections of
stuff” women wear on their heads
and call hats, perhaps some sort
of education on the subject would
be helpful, and of feminine inter
est.
One of the chief reasons that hat
buying has been such a prob
biem of late, is the numerous
styles in which modern women are
wearing their hair. It is no longer
just a matter of a few waves, as
was the case several years ago.
Now we find short bobs and long
ones, up hair-dos and up-in-front—
down - in - the - back styles, curls j
rolls, and waves.
This brings about the difficulty
of finding flattering hat models i
to go with your hair and set off
your features to best advantage. ■
If the hair is worn shoulder length
and is fairly thick, you can wear
hats with or without brims, but
never the doll hat or tiny tilted j
styles.
If you have an up-coiffure, try
the small hats with brims tipped j
far down in front. Sailor hats look
very trim with this style. Never
wear a hat far back on the head
with an up-hair-do.
Small hats are also most becom- ^
ng to the girl with a short bob.
[f the curls are fixed softly about
Lhe cheeks, an off-the-face hat or
turban can be very flattering. A
iarge hat would tend to make the
wearer look all hat and no hair.
For the striking up-in-front
down-in-back coiffure, a hat with
a brim is very important. The
crown of the hat should be rather
small so it won't appear to be set
ting too far down over the naked
ears. Extreme models can be most
attractive when properly worn,
that is, not too far forward nor
too far back on the head.
As for the fashion trend toward
veils and flowers on this season’s
chapeaux, if men don't like them,
we women just can’t understand
men. They object to mannish styles,
desiring us to look more feminine
and now we wear feminine hats,
they cry that they're too fussy. Sc
why try to please them, exert your
independence and enjoy what the
season has to offer. Let men prac
tice their right of free speech
they’ll do it anyway.

Colors
Utilized for
Bette Norwood worked won

combination which she wore to
the Frosh Glee Saturday night.
A white gaucho, blouse, gath
ered across the back, and but
toned with glass buttons, was
tucked into a black pleated all
the-way-around skirt. For that
extra dash of color, Bette wore a
4-inch-wide crushed red suede
belt.
Her accessories included a
charm bracelet of multi-colored
discs and black and white specta
tor pumps.
Yeomen and Orides have planned
an informal radio dance for Friday
evening in the AWS room of Gcr

clcthes are in order.

Trousers Symbolic
Of Modern Woman
By M. K. RIORDAN
If there is any one form of ap
parel that women wear today that
is altogether symbolic of the mod
ern woman, it is trousers. Tc is the
one fashion that can not be traced
directly from a past period of the
country, but instead expresses the
activity of the 20th century. Al
though it hasn’t always enjoyed
the popularity it does at present,
but has had its progressions and
recessions, trousers are now very
characteristic of the modern wo
man and significant of today’s
fashions.
Although slacks have been ac
cepted for a number of years now,
this year sees a long list of uses
for trousers, that not even the
present feminine, frivolous fash
ions so emphasized can cut short.
About six years ago when wo
men were all agog over the beach
pajamas with the large floppy legs
no one ever imagined the many
and' varied uses trousers would
have, and with the endorsement of
society. In almost any sport,
horseback-riding, skiing, ice-skat
ing, hiking, (yachting, tennis,
(shorts), fishing, golf, and garden
ing, there is no doubt that trou
sers have entered the picture for
good.
Some of the versions are as se
verely tailored as men’s trousers,
and some arc frankly feminine.

SHOTS.
By B. Bowman
“It ain’t for knowledge that we
eonie to college, but to get a hus
band if we can—and if we can’t, j
we’ll still get along.” Such is the
attitude of the upperclass woman
here at the University. There may
be a few exceptions, but, quite
frankly, If there are 1 haven't seen
them.
The freshman women at Oregon
State, or as far as that goes, those {
right here, may say they aren't af
ter a husband, but those same girls
two years from now will have
either changed their minds or else
will be more outspoken. Which
ever it is they will have ceased to
be the career girls of a past gen
eration and will admit that their
aim is to find happiness, which
doesn't always come with a big
career and a life alone.
Maylrc it is just as well that
most of the freshman women do
think marriage is too dull and un
interesting for them because the
girls who come down here with the
sole intention of getting a man are
the ones who eut elass regularly
and spend all of their time in the
campus hangouts.
The popularity of such girls is
usually short-lived and so their;
own aim is defeated. Thus it hap
pens that they are eliminated from
the ranks of those who stick with
it for four years and come out of
the melee with a more sensible
viewpoint.
It is the sight of those cute little
empty-headed coeds that make the
rest hesitate to admit that they
probably have the same motive,
and that what they want after all
is happiness. If marriage seems to
offer the way to that every elusive
?tate, they’re willing to choose it.
They realize, where the other girls
don’t, that happiness has to be
created and that such a thing can
not be accomplished without a
sense of values. Unfortunately it
is hard for these values to pene
Irate a cloud of smoke or maze of
gossip.
The third or fourth year girl is
sincere when she wishes the girl
that is to be married lots of luck,
sometimes she is even a little en
vious. These girls when asked why
they want a college education
won’t go into ecstasies over the
brilliant career they have planned.
Instead they hope to work for a
few years after graduation and then
get married. Many of them have
deliberately chosen work that can
car ry over. Some of the country’s
best women authors and painters,

Coed of the Week
A couple of years work on a small town newspaper, a few years
on a metropolitan paper, and then a career as a foreign correspondent
and free lance writer that's the schedule Elizabeth Ann Jones has
figured out for her future.
Although her interest in newspaper work dates only from her last
year in high school, this journalism senior can imagine no other career.
This is only her second year at Oregon, but Becky (as she is
laminariy Known i nas gamcu
much recognition on the campus as
an outstanding writer for the Em
erald and an interesting person
who is well worth knowing. This
week she was elected editor of the
women's edition of the Emerald
which will appear May 12.
When she was cornered yester
day and told that she had been
chosen Coed of the Week, Becky
gasped, “But I'm not even a poli
tician or anything.” But assured
that that was not a necessary
qualification, she consented to
pause between writing state board
of education stories and writing
Emerald of the air radio script to
tell about herself.
Flans for Career
Becky came to Oregon from
Sacramento junior college, after
attending school there two years.
She knew she wanted to work on
the Emerald, and thought it might
even be nice to be editor of it . . .
after all, she had been editor of
her high school paper at Klamath
Falls high school. Ambitions for
Emerald editorship dimmed, but
ambitions to be a journalist con
tinued bright as ever.
In spite of her intentions of
working, Becky thinks marriage
should be the ultimate goal in life,
she admitted. She does not believe
in “two careers in one family,”
however. In her scheme of things,
she sees marriage coming after a
successful writing career of her
own.
“One reason I think a woman—
at least this one- should work be
fore she gets married is that other
wise there is a tendency to become
narrow,” she said. Her brown eyes,
usually twinkling, were serious as
she explained what she meant.
“Too many people consider their
own little community all there is
in life. And the world is so much
larger than that, with wonderful
things to see and learn every
where. Even if I never do any good
at journalism, I want to go around
in other parts of the world and see
what it is all like."
College Is Fun
As she talked she nibbled on an
ice-cream cone, for by this time
her generous nature had showed
itself and she had taken her inter
viewer down to the College Side
for a mid-morning snack.
College she described as much
more fun than she thought it would
be. She came to the University
with her mind firmly made up for
business, she said, and is surprised

at how much fun ahe is having.
But besides being fun, college, ahe
believes, is an important part of
life.
"It is time to establish attitudes,
to practice making contacts with
people, and to select the way in
which you will direct your ener
gies. It is a time to look around
and select the way in which you
want to go."
Photography Is Hobby
Photography is this ambitious
senior’s favorite hobby. Besides
being fun, it will have value in her
journalism, she believes. She also
like to ski and play badminton.
In spite of her carefully worked
out plans for the future, Becky is
not a person to depend too heav
ily on “tomorrow.” She believes in
getting all that’s possible out of
day-to-day living. Talking to her,
one feels that here is a coed that
will find worth-while things to do,
whether or not they are the things
she has planned.
