Stripes, Cactus Proce Themes Of Rooms By PEGGY ROBBINS Today we “snook" over to the DG house to see two of their well d*essed rooms. First one was Mary Kay Riordan's prisoner's room. Blue and tattletale gray stripes are seen in the couch cover, the lamp shade, and even the dressers. Two rag rugs cover the floor and soft, full white curtains frame the window. Carrying out the jail theme are two cute candle holders. Second clever room was designed and executed by Amy Thyng and Genevieve Treadgold. These two ship-minded girls have hanging from one wall a miniature ship's wheel, a compass on the bookcase, and carved anchors on the coffee table. Blue and white is the color scheme with the furniture left natural. Lamps and couch cover are blue with white sailing vessels of an cient vintage as decorations. The waste baskets are in the shape of ships and the mirrors are inside portholes. And they keep it in “ship-shape" order, too. In the dorm we find Alvera Brookman's room, long known for her fine collection of cacti, now with the Mexican theme predom inating. Red is the main color and is a background for the curtains and pillows. Little Mexican scenes are on both of these and a real Mexican rug adds atmosphere. Her knicknack group rivals the cacti in number. For active sports and campus wear Mary Thatcher's beige im ported cashmere dress is just the thing. Modeled for comfort, the dress has five wide pleats in the skirt, and extra fullness in the shoulders. The neckline is round ed, and Mary wears amber beads to blend with the saddle brown leather belt and buttons Two stitched' breast pockets come in handy for Mary’s goli tecs.

SHOES It's ladylike to wear shoes up until 11:30; after that it's pcrmis-! sible to remove them. If afraid of splinters wear your heavy woolen knee-high stockings. Have all spare shoes lined against the wall for rapid changing. Collapsible heels would solve the Mutt and Jeff situation (if you find any, do let us know). Sororities with an eye to appearances have installed shoe-cleaning stands. CONVERSATION It helps to say “hello” once a't least before your partner leaves. Your favorite book makes an ideal topic. If you get a brainy type, ex cuse yourself and dash off after your English comp assignment. The big silent type who is imper vious to all your attempts at con versation will yield to a dreamy look in your eye when you subtly hum “What's New.” The older the line the better—always good is (Please turn to page (our) First Faculty Tea Field Marking the opening of the year the Oregon woman's faculty held its first tea Wednesday from 3:30 until 5:30 o’clock in Alumni hall, j Mrs. H.

KAYWOODIE COMPANY Rockefeller Center, New York and London Gilding the Lady It’s just such a dress as this that proves an eye-snatcher at cam pus formals and house dances. Glamour and simplicity arc combined in this stunning dinner gown of tlvo-toned crepe in red and black, with the new peg-top skirt and gold kid belt. The importance of gold is stressed; again in the gold-finished leaves which strung on a chain are worn as necklace and bracelet. i Some people believe it's a great life if you don't weaken—others maintain it's greater if you weak en soon enough to enjoy it, but it’s all the same to me—I godda cohd in by dose. All week X have been sniffling and going out of my way to steer clear of the infirmary, and what do I get. People look at me land about half the rest of the campus now in the same condition! and nod very knowingly and mum ble “Hmn! rnusta been a big week end in Portland.” This is where I burst forth very angrily and stamp my feet and shout back (that is I did until I woke up yesterday morning and found myself mute) "I didn't go to Portland to the game. All I did was spend a very quiet weekend on a deserted cam pus—and look what happened!” It's no use, ya’ can't win. Oregon Rah! Recently heard a group of males ranting and raving at great length about the Oregon women at the football game, and it seems they were somewhat disgusted with the feminine group. The gist of the discussion was to the effect that our men feel we not only dress too well for such occasions—but spend too much time worrying about it all through the occasion. “If more ! women would let down their hair ! and have fun at the games, they’d feel some Oregon spirit,” one fair- j haired lad informed me. Sophisti- j cated boredom is definitely out of place at a football game. I Quick Comeback On the other hand, women read ing that last paragraph over my shoulder as I ground it out, rose in defense -panning tbe rally commit tee. Well, that’s an old campus growl which I cannot settle in the small space allotted me, but per haps a word to the wise is suffi cient. It may save them much pub licity later—or to be subtle, per haps benches should not be pro vided at all for the committees at the games. Well .... Wesley foundation cabinet meet ing Thursday at 6:30.
