Shop around and see if you don’t get a “I must have” feeling. Exclusive at one downtown shop are suede blouses, skirts, jackets, and skirts in those new fall shades with such stimulating names, dawn b^ue, mulberry, sagebrush green, and dusty pink. Quilted robes and housecoats in cotton prints and polka dots will stir even the most lethargic of us to study, and for more frivolous gabfests and firesides are just the thing, especially when your pajamas match. Compact Umbrellas A boon to all who detest carry ing umbrellas is one which folds into a compact 12-inch cylinder. It can be slipped under your arm. Should put an end to stockings spotted by a dangling wet umbrel la. "Gay Gibson” frocks are carried in silk, wool, and jersey. An eye snatching morsel is a two-piece stone blue wool with a striped vest top. Flat silver buttons march down its front. A demure white collar fits right uncfer your chin and the V-shaped pockets are white trimmed. Styled for Health For years women's styles have been criticized (mostly by the men) for being inadequate for health reasons. Now we can strike right back showing how this fall’s clothes are smart yet warm. Shown this year are full-length gabardine evening wraps that are the best looking things we’ve seen. Too long have we shivered to and from formals. They have squared (Please turn to page four) attend this banquet which is cele brated each fall by chapters and alumni all over the United States. A Co-op mix sponsored by both men and women co-ops will be held in Gerlinger hall Saturday night after the game. It will be a no-date sport dance. Wednesday desserts include Del ta Upsilon-Alpha Chi Omega; Al pha Phi freshmen-Chi Psi fresh men; Sigma Chi-Kappa Alpha Theta; Alpha Tau Omega-Kappa Kappa Gamma; Theta Chi-Pi Beta Phi. Those scheduled for Thursday evening are Phi Gamma Delta-Al pha Delta Pi; Delta Gamma-Delta Upsilon; Gamma Phi Beta-Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Pi Beta Phi-Sigma Chi informal get-together. j.«irafiMrarararaiBrararair0liiini]|nl!WInl|n!Jnl[nljBlBll3 OrSgoncoeds seldom wear hats at all, but a topper such as one of these appeals even to the hard-to please lassies. Easy to wear, yet stylish enough to be smart, they may be worn with suits, dresses, or re- ^ versibies. Moss green, soft tans, brilliant clays, and reds are the most common colors seen this fall in hats. One gentle pull and these hats are on to stay. Feathers, suede tassels, and special stitching are added trim. Variety of Ingenious Themes for Rooms Sighted The well-dressed room of the fall semester is as well clad as its ewner. One theme predominates whatever suit it chooses to wear each day, and as the result is a restful yet stimulating feeling for the occupant. Style for rooms, as for persons, does not mean expense for the owner, but instead, requires ingenuity and careful choice on the part of the designer. Noah’s Ark? Peggy Lou Smith, ADPi, has cosily combined animals and boats, which suggests an ark theme. Scattered through the room are red and white calico cats, huskies, and giraffes created by their am bitious owner of red and white cloth. The curtains have a red background with white sailboats. All-white furniture gives the room the appearance of extra space needed to house this zoo. Parch ment print lampshades hold march ing animals. The rug is a powder blue with darker outline stripes. In Ancient Egypt In contrast to this light-hearted theme, AOPi’s art studenE Jean Kendall has an astonishing Egyp tion room. With five purple bor dered cloth mats which she picked up in San Francisco this summer, she has created a unique room. These mats illustrate one symbolic action each and, as yet, have not been translated by their present owner. The couch cover is a tan, the pillows hold the same colors as are in the mats. The furniture is cream. In one comer a large rectangular bowl holds stately gladiolas. Really Oregon-ized One of the cleverest is Betty Norwood's loyal Oregon room. This Tri-Delta has carried out green and yellow completely in her room even to having a two-color radio.

Everything attractive for university wear was shown begin ning with sports clothes, ski out fits, street ensembles, afternoon dresses, dinner dresses, evening gowns, and ending with fur chub bies and fur coats. Thirty outfits were modeled. Especially attractive was Fon telle Mitchell in a two-piece wine wool suit, accenting the small waist line and full pleated skirt. With this she wore a wine velour hat. j Joan Hunt modeled a dress coat in 1 grape tone with mink-tail trim and matching dress. A hooded polo coat was worn by Lois Welborn showing the wrap-around belt and : gathered back. This is a 1939 fash ion, the hood is detachable, and it makes an excellent campus coat. A hyacinth formal with full skirt trimmed with wine velvet looked exceptionally well on Margaret Young.

As is the ambition of every journalist, I have always wanted to write a column of my own. Well, here it is, here am I, and now what ? My indecision lies in the point of what to write. Shall I write a catty column panning; all campus leaders, shall I discuss world politics, observe things through keyholes or just ramble Rnd see what happens. For this week, I guess I’ll try the rambling style, so bear with me, I might accidentally hit on something. * * * After three days now the cam pus seems to be settling down to a fairly normal pace, with upper classmen now telling freshmen what’s what after all the sweet ness and sentiment oozed forth rush week. And speaking of rush week brings up the open house af fair held by all the campus sorori ties. After discussing- the affair with members of various houses we find that it ran pretty much the same in every organization. Sorority gills met rushees and rushees met girls and housemoth ers until people began introducing others as themselves. Van Tingle became Van Tangle or Von Twis sel, and even Smith and Jones turned into Smyth, Smaltz, Smith er and Johns, Ginns and so on. One fair junior coed, after three and a half of the four-hour event, had talked so long and so hard that upon an introduction to a rushee only managed to catch the name Frances out of the whole mess— and Frances being her own name she picked up on this as a topic of conversation. Well, she started it all by saying that she was so glad to meet the girl because she always enjoyed meeting others with the same name as her own, and so on. Feeling proud of herself for keep ing up a good stream of casual conversation for several minutes she at last paused for breath,—it (Please turn to toage four) T Coed of the Week By BETTY JANE THOMPSON Definitely living up to the old maxim that the busiest people are the ones who get the most done and do it the best is Betty Lou Kurtz, our first “Coed of the Week,’’ this fall, who always seems to have time to do every thing that everyone wants her to do. “It all started,” Betty Lou said, "when I was the only one who signed up for one of the discussion groups at the Y. They made me chairman and put me on the froth commission.” Since that time three, years ago she has assumed more and more responsibilities in wo-, men’s affairs on the campus, and climaxes her senior year by serving as president of the Chi Omega house, president of heads of hous es, secretary of the YWCA, and member of the AWS council. Never without a smile, she is sel dom alone. One can nearly always find her in the center of a group (Pleat* turn to page four) 'n^Secuifrjf | £i/<e t£e dt&id...
