For
Women
Only
By MABGE FINNEGAN
Every place one goes these days
one sees cheery signs of Christ
mas greetings and holiday decora
tions. Bells are ringing on every
downtown corner, busy shoppers
hustle in and out of stores and the
whole atmosphere is taking on a
feeling of the nearness of the
Christmas season. (Yes, I know
this sounds like a stock beginning
for a Christmas story, but bear
with me.) To continue, every store
has a Santa Claus representative
to attract the children to the toy
departments, and so on. ■ ■ •
But what about the poor col
lege students in this situations'!
What have we to look forward to
between now and the time Santa
jumps down ye old chimney on
December 25?
First, we must think that we
have only nine more days of school
before exams, plus all the term pa
pers, thesis, “catch-up” work, and
cramming of the average student
at the end of the term. Then come
the exams. A week of them, which
covers time up to the 22nd. And
there we are, with only two shop
ping days left until Christmas.
What shall we buy for mom and
pop and the rest of the relatives
—when everything is picked over
to the last degree. It’s unjust!
But what’s to be done about it?
Besides, maybe it will come in
hardy as an excuse for why you
did not get Aunt Rebecca a gift,
when she was kind enough to re
member you with that extra large
red handkerchief with the yellow
morder and a lovely bottle of Woo
zleboggle perfume, (priced 25
cents per dram.)
Christmas Seals
Have you heard about the
Christmas seals circulating this
season which say, “Do not open
until Roosevelt says it's Christ
mas.”
I Still Like ’Em
Oh yes! I just have to tell you
about my new collection. All this
fall I’ve been admiring china
dachshunds in the College flower
shop window. They are clever lit
tle fellows, serving as flower pots
for cactus. Well, it seems that I
admired them every time I passed
with everyone 1 know. Conse
quently, on my recent birthday I
was presented with three of them.
They grace the top of my desk
and were named Hans, Fritz, and
Lena by one of the "sisters."
Knox college, the original "Old
Siwash,” has been selected as the
location for a series of "Old Si
wash" motion pictures.

Sparkle
Evident in

Wrapping
By DORIS MURPHY
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo is the
only way you can choose between
the inspirations that will be your
Christmas gift wrappings . . . the
papers are beautiful, clever, amus
ing . . . the supply is inexhausti
ble .. . and the price is a mere
nothing . . . glitter, king of this
year's fashion, is even found in
this line, for we saw one blue
background tissue with sparkling
silver stars . . . you can get se
quin sparkles on all-red or all
white paper . . . candlewick has
been borrowed from colonial
American bedspreads to appear on
gaily wrapped dotted or plaid
packages . . . use a simulated
tweed in either grey or black to
cover the present for that man in
your life . . . Walt Disney wood
land figures in wine color are
found frisking about on a pale
blue background in one more in
dividual paper . . . and one your
little brother or sister will like
has red and white candy canes and
Santa Claus . . . perhaps the most
unusual is called “American
Christmas” and has pictures of
our chief holiday at different his
torical periods ... it is found in
the new pastel wine shade with
the figures in blue and green —
it's really different . . . another
which will suit you who want or
iginality is the metallic paper with
“it came upon a midnight clear”
marching across it in old English
letters . . seals may be bought
to match the papers . . . gold and
silver individual initials are shown
for use in identifying packages,
and metallic stars in assorted siz
es will add much to a decorative
box . . . little jingle bells may be
tied on the ribbon . . . cellophane
is used in every way imaginable,
shredded, in straws, or in sheets
. . . ribbons are luxurious satin,
practical cord . . . yarn will make
a soft binding, and cellophane rib
bon will tie in a stiff, crisp bow
. . . gifts can be dressed up in in
numerable ways, each with that
desired note of individuality . . .
let pure inspiration be your guide
and yours will be the smartest of
the lot!

To Make Campus
Pre-Holiday Visit
By MARY KAY RIORDAN
That, sly old gentleman from the North Pole is scheduled to visit i
the Oregon campus early in the holidays, as he makes his annual call
at sorority and fraternity houses before the end of fall term and Christ
mas vacation.
Little boys are to be well entertained this year, for many of them
will be guests at dinners at the fraternity houses sponsoring Christmas
parties, where the favorite attraction, Santa, will unload the trees
ladened with gifts and many toys
for the children.
Materially helping the Yuletide
spirit by arranging an evening of
festivities for about 12 unfortu
nate children recommended by the
Red Cross, is Phi Sigma Kappa.
Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Upsilon,
and Delta Tau Delta have also
made plans for turkey dinners and
will have trees with all the trim
mings.
Christmas Revels Set
Highlight of the social events of
the closed weekend is the tradi
tional Christmas Revels on Satur
day night in Gerlinger hall. A true
i old English party will be por
trayed this year as decorations and
the program completely carry out
the theme. The hall will be a mass
of silhouettes while the sun room
is to be transformed into an Eng
1 lish tavern. Bob Calkins’ orchestra
will provide music for the dancing.
Houses Have Parties
Every living organization has
planned their individual Christmas
celebrations a bit early this week
because of final week. Firesides,
dinners, and' the exchange of gifts
are highlights of every event. Su
san Campbell is presenting a
Christmas pageant Sunday eve
ning after closing hours. The
“Christmas Story” will be told,
and carols sung as members gath
er1 around the large tree. Guests
at the pageant will be Hendricks
hall council.
Banquet Planned
Kappa Sigma will be hosts to
Sally Rand and her troupe Satur
j day night at dinner. Miss Rand
will be met at the train by mem
bers of the fraternity and escorted
to the chapter house. Entertain
ment plans include fraternity
songs sung by the Kappa Sig trio.
Frank Emmons will be toastmas
ter at the dinner.
Hold Pledge Dunce
Sigma Kappa will honor their
pledges Saturday night at their
annual fall house dance. Elmo
Bailey and his orchestra will fur
nish the music. The theme of the
I dance is being kept a secret from
j the freshmen, for upperclassmen
are in charge of the affair.
* * *
Kappa Kappa Gamma will act
as hostess to members of the Orc
j gon Mortar Board and their na
tional president, and Dean Hazel
i P. Schwering at a luncheon to be
given at the chapter house Tues
day.

Theta Chi will honor their local
alumni a week from Sunday night
His Gift
Problem for
Every Coed
It’s just about this time of year
that- “the man” really becomes an
uppermost problem in the mind of
most coeds. Christmas is just
around the corner, allowances
were just received, and maybe
some hints have been more or less
subtly dropped.
Shirts, sox, and ties may do very
well for dad and brother but often
considered too lacking in original
ity for the boy friend. Why not
give him the once-over as to his
choice in accessories and consider
his likes and dislikes. If he’s a rab
id sport enthusiast, skis, plays
tennis or golf, get him something
in that line. Fur-lined gloves,
heavy imported sox, ski poles
would all be welcome additions to
the skier's equipment.
For the Smoker
For the smoker think about cig
arette cases, lighters, pipe racks,
tobacco pouches, humidors, but
you’d better be sure you know his
tastes very well indeed before you
choose his pipe—I've been t old
they re touchy about such things.
Crested Gifts
Almost any masculine thing
with a crest upon it will be wel
at a special Christmas celebration.
I The chapter is planning a Christ
| mas serenade on the evening of
December 16. Various arrange
ments of well-known carols will
be the big feature.
Miami Triad Set
Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, and
Beta Theta Pi university of Ore
gon chapters and Oregoii State
College chapters alumni groups
will sponsor their annual Miami
Triad New Year’s eve at the
Neighbor of Woodcraft hall in
Portland.

Zeta Tau Alpha entertained a
group of poor children Wednes
day evening at a special Christ
mas party at which they were
given gifts from the tree. The
children were also guests at din
ner.

Berne Jacobsen of Seattle, prov
ince president of the sorority, as
guest at their house last weekend.

of the Week
Black did magic for auburn
haired NANCY STRATTON,
Theta pledge, as she danced Sat
urday night in a sophisticated
frock of heavy black crepe with
rhinestone trim.
A squared neck, caught with
sleerhinestone clips, short
shirred sleeves, and a slightly
flared skirt were highlighted
by a belt studded with rhine
stones in front and joined to
black suede behind.
Nancy wore a velvet bow in |
her hair and black suede slip

Pot and Quill
Members Named
Reading this article, five coeds
will learn for the first time of
their status as new members of
Pot and Quill, women’s creative
writing honorary on the campus.
Announced Wednesday by Mu
riel Beckman, president, the pledg
es are: Martha Coleman, Marion
Narvis, Mildred Wilson, Lois On
thank, and Barbara Hampson.
Although the girls names were
announced, the winner of the $5
first prize offered as part of the
membership contest, will remain
a secret until the first meeting
next term, Miss Beckman said.
One of the five pledges will re
ceive it, however.
For their initiation, each girl is
to read an original piece of work
at the next meeting which will be
held at Mrs. Eric W. Allen’s home
on January 9, Miss Beckman said.
Firesides and other social events
were planned in her honor,
corned by a fraternity man, and
personally-initialed gifts are al
ways in taste. Cuff links, studs
and silk scarfs might be the solu
tion if he’s a night-life man. If
you can’t think of a thing and are
back to shirts, there are some
grand-looking sport ones in down
town shops; and anyway such
shops are in a position to give
worthwhile advice after patering
to masculine whims every day.
It's certain you’ll be that if you
get him something useful (men
are notoriously practical) he’ll
sing your praise!
Photographs, cartoons, and sam
ples of stained glass windows from
the Cummings studio of San
Francisco are now on display in
the exhibition room of the art
building.
Arrangements for bringing the
exhibit here were made by Mi
chael Gallis, graduate assistant in
architecture.
Friendly Traits Make
Bettylou Swart Ideal
Coed of Week
By CORRINE WIGNES
“Greatness is to take the common things in life anti walk truly
among them,” has been af governing motto in the life of Bettylou
Swart .president of the YWCA.
This inscription is engraved on a cup which she received, upon
graduation from Jefferson high school in Portland, as the outstanding
girl in her class.
A senior major in sociology, Bettylou is a brunette, 21 years old,
_i 4. r_ 11 . ---——
and five feet four inches tall.
Makes Friends Easily
"Meet people and make friends,"
says this coed leader, who practic
eses her preachings by constantly
doing things for others, especially
in “Y” work. She was president of
all the Portland girl reserves, jun
ior members of the YW organiza
tion, and has been conference
chairman, secretary, and president
of the frosh commission at the
University.
After graduation Bettylou hopes
to continue in girls personnel
work.
Side by side, the two pins on her
sweater catch one’s eye. One is
the Gamma Phi Beta pin of her
sorority, and the other the prop
erty of Jimmy Neill, an SAE
transfer from Oregon State Col
lege.
Summer vacation time finds
Bettylou in various places. When
she does not work in her father’s
mortgage and loan office, she
travels, attends a girls’ camp, or
teaches tricks to her Boston bull
terrier, "Pal.” She also likes to
swim and play golf.
Well-Balanced Outlook
; “One of the reasons you go to
j college is to obtain a well bal
anced outlook on life,” said Bet
i tylou. She has developed her own
personality besides finding time to
* act on various committees. Al
! though “going steady,” and "Y”
work do not leave much spare
time, this ambitious coed has been
a member of Kwama and Phi The
; ta Upsilon service honoraries, cor
responding secretary, and rushing
chairman of her sorority, and
worked Emerald and Oregana of
fice hours.
Sincere and strightforward, this
“personality” coed is one of the
most outstanding girls on the
campus.
Phi Beta Kappa has started a
drive to raise a scholarship fund
of $300,000 for “the defense of
freedom of speech and the human
ities.”
Despite its present low stand
ing, the University of Chicago
grid team has won more Big Ten
championships than any other
team.

DEAR DIARY . . .
The most terrible thing has hap
pened to me . . . honestly I didn’t
think I’d live through it—This last
weekend our worthy pledge class,
being accused of having no spirit
at all, concocted a lot of good
practical jokes just to show the
members that we’re pretty lively
after all. Of course, there w’as
; nothing malicious intended in any
j of them. Could we help it if Betty
I and a few of the other members
got “taken in” by all of our mas
terpieces? —Well, anyway, some
of them got very mad about the
whole thing, and Sunday we had to
take it from them, and I do mean
take it!
Were Good Sports
Only we were good sports about
the whole thing, even if some oi
it was pretty fierce. Why can't
people just take things in the spirit
of fun ? We all knew when we
came to college that we’d gel
heftkled, and I get a big thrill oul
of it all, even if I have been here
for nearly three months now. . ,
Well, Christmas is coming along
and so are finals. Every time 1
think of it (Christmas, not finals
definitely!), I don’t want to studj
the least little bit. And Betty’s
been geting me conditioned (that’s
a word I've picked up from psy
chology sudents around here, anc
are there some good looking ones
—) for exam week. Seems we’ri
supposed to overlook things peo
pie may say to us from now on—
if they snap at you, you just smih
sweetly and stuff.
For Others, Too1?
I wonder if that goes for peopli
outside the house, too ? I mean, i

just blame it on the fact that
they’re worried about exams ? But
gee! think of taking a big beauti

... I’m really getting bothered
about these exams, though. I
haven’t any idea how to start
