For
Women
Only
By MARGE FINNEGAN
The holiday season is over for
another year, and life goes on at
its normal pace. Papas and ma
mas are home economizing so they
can pay up the December bills, and
the "kids" have all come back to
school with a new spirit of vim
and vigor, determined to show
these college professors who gave
them flunks, that they are made
of “sterner stuff,” and will raise
their grades just to prove it was j
all the professor’s fault—like they
explained it to mom and pop, who j
understood the situation perfect
ly
Broken Resolutions
The new year always calls for
resolutions, you know. We wonder
if there is anyone around here who
can honestly say on this eleventh
day of the year, that not one of
his good resolutions is broken
yet? We have our doubts, but if
it can be proven, this page will
gladly make him publicly known
as King (or Queen) of next week.
Let’s Get Even
Winter term is certainly going
to be filled with "extracurricular”
activities, as well as studies. Being
leap year, it looks as if the girls
are going to be forced into bear
ing the burden of expense for
dances for a while. Maybe it would
be a good time to show up some
of our "handsome heroes” by blind
or last-minute dating. Well, it’s a1
time to get even anyway for all
the little grievances.
I»t> You Chew?
Speaking of grievances, we'd j
like to know the general opinion
on gum chewing. Stop, look, and;
listen at the next campus dance
—it’s terrific! Reminds me of that
old, old "pome.”
The gum-chewing student, the cud
chewing cow
Resemble each other, yet differ
somehow,
Let me ponder a momept —Ah! I
see it now
It’s the intelligent look on the face
of the cow.

Frosh Arrange Leap Year Limp tor Saturday
Girl Dates Boy as
Tables Turn for
Week-end Dance
By MARY KAY KIORDAN
The year 1940 should decidedly prove who are the popular men
on the campus as practically every dance scheduled for winter term
will require the coeds to date the men. The frosh, this year, are spon
soring the first campus dance of the term in Gerlinger Saturday night
when they present the Leap Year Limp. Part of the decorations will
be crutches borrowed from the infirmary for the occasion, and cari
catures will carry out the idea of girl dates boy. Woody Hite and his
orchestra are to furnish the music.
ASUU concert
Set for Tonight
As the first artist appearing
this term in McArthur court, Jan j
Kiepura, well-known Polish tenor,
will present his concert to a stu
dent, faculty, and town audience
at 8 o’clock tonight. This will be
Mr. Kiepura’s first appearance in
Eugene.

DEAR DIARY:
Hi, ho, and a Happy New Year
to you, too. I’ve been wishing that
to so many people, not excluding
teachers of courses, that I might
just as well hope you spend a fine
year . . . besides I'm all enthusias
tic about the new year and every
thing . . . college isn’t as bad as
I thought . . . you’ve guessed, I
made house grades and will be
initiated if, when, and how I pass
the chapter exam and live through
pre-initiation week.
I guess that really is something
. . . the upperclassmen say we will
never forget it, and they have been
having midnight meetings think
ing up awful things for us to do
. . . if they just watch some of
these fraternities, which are init
iating sooner, they would get some
good suggestions.
I don’t dare put those down for
just before Christmas the most
dreadful, most awful, the simply
most excruciating (I hope one of
those words at least is correct for
what I mean) thing happened to
me, dear diary, and all through
YOU! On the few pages which I
devoted to pre-exam week warn
ings and attitudes in the house,
etc., the eyes of some upperclass
men fell . . . and wow . . , no kid
ding, what a racket they made!
1 can’t understand it ... to begin
with, how did they just happen to
fall on that one part which might
not be complimentary to them?
Too, how did they ever find those
pages hidden in the center of lots
of other writing? Third, why ob
ject to the truth, ungarnished by
any excess or untruth? And
fourth, how come they all took my
simple remarks to be personal
when there were no names or iden
tifying phrases ? I don’t under
stand, as I said, but 1 just guess
that they had guilty consciences
. . . anyway they seem to have for
gotten and forgiven over the va
cation so I guess 1 can forgive
them for finding it . . . I’m not si
sure 1 can forget all the remarks
made about it. . . .
Incidentally, not to change the
subject, but yesterday I saw the
most beautiful specimen of hu
manity, yes, I mean a man! 1 sec
where I shall be busy for a time
. . . there’s a leap-year dance thi;
weekend ... I wonder if 1 dare
we shall sec, dear diary, what oe

New Year

New Deal
New Date
Now that the long-awaited snow
in the mountain regions has final
ly arrived, Oregon students are
busy waxing their skiis and hunt
ing up equipment.
The closest and most logical
places will, of course, be up the
McKenzie river. Ski areas have
been developed at Hand Lake and
White Branch. The CCC has
cleared several slopes at both plac
es, and White Branch now boasts
a rope tow and a warming hut.
Skiers returning from these
areas will find Belknap Springs a
good place to stop. The warm wa
ter swimming pool there proved
i very popular with the college
I crowd last year.
. Later in the season the ski train
will probably be running into the
Crescent lake country.
Expert skiers, however, will still
go to Mount Hood for the best ski
ing. There arc three tows on the
mountain now, and another is soon
to be installed. Overnight accom
modations are easily and reason
ably obtained at Government
Camp and Timberline lodge.
The areas have been improved
and the snow has come, so wher
ever you go for winter sports you
are certain to find fairly good con
ditions.

Feminine Side
Of Idaho Game
The game at McArthur court
Tuesday night was a basketball
game (it said so on the activity
card) and it was very pretty.
The Oregon players made the
most baskets but the Idaho
players had the whitest legs.
Both teams were equally bad
at holding on to the ball—
dropping it at intervals all the
way down the floor.
Two men in striped shirts
ran up and down independently,
furnishing sound effects and
leading the cheering with a
whistle.
Dick was the only player who
remembered that Idaho was our
guest. The other Oregon players j
were little pigs but Dick was ,
polite and offered the ball to
his guests first every time he
could get his hands on it.
A much more alluring target
than the baskets (which were
much too small) was the eter
nally wide-open mouth of Ore
gon’s No. 1 rooter, Phil Barrett,
seated in the back row of the
stand.
Nope, basketball's silly.

Active Senior Coed
Tells of Future Plans
By t’ORRINE WIGNES
One of the three freshman girls enrolled in law school, Jeannette
Hafner, popular University senior, has been selected as our coed this
week. Although she does not intend to practice law after graduation,
she would like to get a position in governmental work in that field.
A graduate of Jefferson high school in Portland, this vivacious
coed was vice-president of the student body association there, received
the Lamp pin for a high grade-point average, and was awarded a
Qphnlflrshin tn thp TTnivprsitv.
"I really had always planned on
attending the University,” Jean
nette said, ‘‘but the scholarship
decided it.”
Numerous Activities
Fill College Life
Jeannette is affiliated with
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and
was a member of Kwama and Phi
Theta Upsilon, women’s service
honoraries, as well as being secre
tary of the executive council and
chairman of the ASUO speakers
committee.
During Junior weekend last year
Jeannette was elected to Mortar
Board, senior women's honorary,
of which she is now president.
“I was so busy watching the
queen, I didn’t realize they were
circling me for Mortar Board,”
said Jeannette. "I thought I was
in the way so tried to move back,
and when I found out I had been
elected I was surprised and
pleased.”
German Dachshund
Holds Interests
Blue-eyed, five-feet, three-inches
tall, Jeannette finds golf, dancing,
and swimming her favorite sports.
Her German dachhund dog, “Bar
on,” is her main interest when she
is at home.

‘‘Girls should make friends with
girls outside of theft own living

nent coed. Possessor of a very
vivid personality and a good sense
of humor, Jeannette has many
campus friends, and has attained
the highest goals for women in
the University.
WAA to Initiate
Active Coeds
Last year’s record - breaking
turnouts for the various WAA ac
tivities forecast that next Tues
day’s ceremony will be the largest
WAA initiation ever held in the
University. It will start at 7 p.m.
on the third floor of Gerlinger hall.
All of the invitations sent out
were to girls who have earned
their check since last winter in
basketball, swimming, baseball,
tennis, Amphibian, golf, and vol
leyball. Since the invitations have
been mailed, anyone who has not y
received a bid but feels that she
has earned one should see her
house manager and then get in,
touch with Joanne Riesch.
Those who have received invi
tations must phone Joanne or Pat
Taylor by Sunday if they plan to
accept. The $1 which must accom
pany initiation is the only fee con
nected with the organization.
