Why don't Oregon roods kiss
the boy off?
Don’t say, “1 just don’t have
time to write, so much to do all
the time,” because, according to
C. S. Hastings, official Univer
sity mailman, as much as a ton
of mail has left the campus in
one day. Who does all the writ
ing?
tThen there are students who
say they never get any mail, but
according to the University mail
man, Oregon’s campus receives
art average of 3,000 pieces of
mail each day.
Over 3509 students, 78,000
pieces of mail each month -
someone is wrong, and it isn’t
Uncle Sana!
Postman Hastings also ex
plained that on Mondays the
mail truck is filled with pack
ages, and an average of 75 bun
dles is delivered each day.
Don't ever worry about los
ing anything Mr. Hastings han
dles, for only three packages
have been lost in the last four
years.
Museum Gets Rare
Carved Chest as Gift
From Dr. Barnett
A rare carved chest, made from
three pieces of wood, was donated
to the museum of natural history
this week by Dr. H. B. Barnett,
anthropology instructor.
The chest was made by the
British Columbia Indians, and it
is around 100 years old. It is made
from cedar, and the pieces are
fastened together with cedar
withes. An interesting feature is
that the sides of the chest were
made from one long board, which
was bent instead of cut, and then
the two loose ends were stitche\
together with cedar withes. ^
Dr. Barnett said the chest was
probably’ used to hold the cere
monial costumes of the Indians.
It will be put on exhibit later in
the year.

bridge. At the garden members
talked with Frank Chase, one of

Only One Exam
Changed; Slate
Scanned Diligently
Two and a half weeks -were all
that remained today for Oregon
students to bear down and to do
their final cramming before the
advent of fall term examinations.
Saturday, December 10, will see
the first action along the “big
quiz” front, and from then until
the following Thursday evening
campus attention will be focused
on the scheduled “finals.”
The only change on the exam
ination schedule sheet, which was
handed Oregon eds and coeds in
printed form on the back of the
year schedule and academic regu
lations pamphlet at registration
time, is in mathematics. Clifford
L. Constance, assistant registrar,
announced yesterday that all stu
dents included in math classes 10,
100, 101, 100, and 111, will take
their finals from 1 till 3 o’clock on
Saturday instead of following the
regular hour schedule.
Many students have been giving
the small white booklets careful
attention in the past few days in
order to find out how soon the ex
aminations will be over for them
and determine the “odds” an early
finishing date will give them in
starting home for Christmas vaca
tions.

FASHION
FIRSTS
By DAVE COMPTOX
What a game, what a feast last
Thursday, and what a headache
trying to figure out a Christmas
list that will be appropriate yet fit
the budget. And with only one
shopping day left after final
exams, it looks like we're gping to
be doing most of our shopping
right here in Eugene.
Would you like a nice warm pair
of slippers to lounge around the
house in, or a pair of water-proof
leather moccasins to slip on when
you tear over for a coke ? Then
drop a hint to the lady love to pay
a visit to POWELL AND ED
BLOM’S FOOTWEAR store and
make a selection from their com
plete stock. She won’t have to
spend all her money in one place
and you’ll be sitting pretty, and
comfortable for the rest of the
year.
* * *
I know it’s cold and foggy jnit
right now, but this is still Oregon
and that means you never can tell
when it might rain. Everyone has
heard of the famous ALLIGATOR
LINE OF RAINWEAR. Dad or
Mother would appreciate a hint
that you would like one of these
for your wardrobe. Just tell them
to send the money and you can
get one at BYROM AND KNEE
LAND’S MAN’S SHOP or at JOE
RICHARD’S STORE FOR MEN.
Thinking of something different
to give the gal this Christmas? So
is everyone else. But for a really
useful gift that she will appre
ciate more than most anything
else, give her leather goods from
PRESTON AND HALE’S LEA
THERGOODS STORE. They carry
a complete assortment of the new
est in purses, luggage, zipper note
books (a swell gift) and other at
tractive merchandise.
* * *
Three more weeks of this term,
then Christmas vacation, and then
winter term with its parade of
formal dances. Ask Dad for a new
tux with all the trimmings. Maybe
you’ll get it, and maybe you won’t.
But if you do, be sure to insist on
the Arrow tux shirt. It launders
nicer, won’t shrink, and it is tail
ored to fit you, personally.
And don’t forget, if you find a
pair of shoes in your Christmas
mail that look anything like those
beauties of Bob Hochuli’s, you can
always exchange them for a bas
ketball.
