For Women Only By MARGE FINNEGAN Generally speaking, women are generally speaking. This is a well known fact, and one which has been commented upon pro and con for a good many years. But have you ever stopped to figure it out? Is there any point to talking if nothing worth remember ing comes out of the convention? Almost everyone has been forced into a position at one time or an other, to listen to some chattering female rave on at great length—and in the end discovered she said ab solutely nothing. There is a ques tion in the minds of many as to the possible conversational depths of the feminine sex. (We don't mean to imply, however, that all males are eloquent speakers—or even know what they’re talking about half of the time!) What Have You to Say? Narrow it all down to college women, and even Oregon coeds. What do we talk about? What can we talk about? Arc we qualified to fit into discussion groups, or able to adjust ourselves to the conver sation of our elders? What about our dates and conversation with fellows? Many women realize shortcom ings—others don't, and live merrily in their uninformed state believing their acquaintances to be spell bound by the personality they re flect. As to types, we have the giggling tfliililllllllllllllliilllllllllillllliilimitwiiimilimmil.iiiiiiimiimilltiilillilllilllllllllllllS 1 COSMETIC SPECIALS!

Gcrlinger hall will be seen as a Winter Wonderland when WAA j presents its winter formal honoring the newly initiated members. Snow, fir trees, and a special lighting giving the effect of moonlight in the mountains will he the setting, with Curt Sykes and his orchestra fur nishing the music. Special intermission entertainment will be a winter sports fashion coed, who isn’t funny, the boy crazy girl who talks nothing hut men; the punsters and joke-crack ers, who set everyone straight with “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” gag, and so on. At the other extreme we see the all-too-serious coed who doesn’t catch jokes, never laughs, hut can discuss any phase of relig ion, period of history dr economic crisis known to man. Half and Half Of course a happy medium can be, and should he reached. The ma jority of our women students are on a level almost equa-distant from the extremes. Hut on the other hand, there are comparatively few who can readily cope with every conversational situation. Giggling Gertie is at a loss to discuss any thing with her I’hi), professor. Sol olm Sue misses out on a lot of fun and the lighter tilings which tend to brighten our lives, liven the middle-path group at school, finds it difficult to converse with friends in the home town who have not attended college. Cultivation of the art of conver sation is a trait to he admired. Many strive to attain a goal in thig line, others don’t care or show shallowness by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time always. College women should feel a certain joy in making an effort to cultivate a personality so well rounded that they can converse intelligently with everyone they meet.

By Miss Cellaneous I read somewhere that college hoys like outdoor girls. It didn't appeal to me much till I saw Johnny’s new car (with a ski rack conspicuously evident on top). So de(sigh)ded I'd better break down and get myself a few of the indispcnsables and take up skiing. Buying the indispcnsables was fun—why do such darling clothes go with such a horrible sport? Finally I was ready to go and theft Johnny got unreasonable and nasty just because I had two suitcases full of my darling new ski clothes and I’d forgotten to buy bindings for my skis. Good ness me! You can't expect a girl to think of everything, can you? Well Johnny said we’d rent some when we got to the moun tains and so at last we got start ed. Have you ever looked down a hill over the top of a pair of skis? Well, don’t! It makes your stom ach feel as though you'd been eating too much food for a week. Halfway down the hill some thing at my left must have made a liaise like the mating call of a right ski because suddenly my right ski started to the left with disastrous consequences to my equilibrium. Sure enuf! I was still in one piece—only casualty was base wax off the bottom of my skis, which somehow ended in my hair. Guess I’ll quit skiing and train as a contortionist. I should be a wow! Training in LipMake-up Suggested By Adele Canada A new compulsory course has been proposed for the curriculum— a course in the applied science of putting on lipstick. At present, lipstick users may be divided into the following types: Type A, (the color fiend-). She may use an atrocious pink color, a violent purple shade, or the kind that looks black in the tube and nauseating on lips. Half-way Job Type If, (the amateur artiste). We divide this type into two clas sifications: Type B-l; her lips are big. She only covers half of them but she tries so hard to disguise the other part with powder—the result is terrific! Type If-J; she wants to give her lips that llcdy Lamarr look. The gal isn't cut out for a Hedy Lamarr, however, so we find her listed here—as an am ateur artiste. Type C is usually given several names; the saleswoman’s night mare. the "gorp” girl, and that??*?? girl. Her lipstick is as thick on her teeth as it is on her lips and she is nothing it not generous about giving out samples. And then there is the boy who went home with . . . Ever Hungry Type Type I), (the ever hungry). The ever hungry type has these classi fications. Type D-l: the outdoor girl or wallflower division.

Busy Jean Crites Takes Time Out for 'Coed’ Interview By Corrine Wignes A tall brown-haired girl hurried out of the YW building and dashed across the campus. She paused occasionally, long enough to tell some one her latest pun, and finally stopped in the Emerald news room for a very brief interview. One of the busiest girls on the campus, Jean Crites, attractive junior coed, smiled and her dark brown eyes sparkled when asked what she did with her spare time. “I really don’t have any,” she said, "but I am a Girl Scout and have spent me last two summers nr Camp Chaparral in California. I save all my spare time for sum mers.” Jean is fond of being out of-doors, so is quite a camping en thusiast. Nineteen years old, five feet, eight inches tall, Jean is a jour nalism major at Oregon. She is the Tuesday advertising manager, and has worked untiringly on the Em erald .business staff for two years. Retail advertising holds the great est attraction for her, and is the field in which she intends to work after graduation. In Service Honorary A Eugene girl, Jean graduated from University high school. She is affiliated with Alpha Delta Pi sorority, and is also a member of Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women’s service honorary, and religious chairman of the YWCA. Last year she served as secretary on the YW sophomore commission. Although she has not had much time to participate in athletics, this popular and carefree coed likes to swim and play tennis. Likes to Joke With “a joke a day” as her mot to, Jean says the best way to en joy life is to take everything with a smile, throwing a smile over her shoulder, she hurried from the news room to another meeting at the Y. never smear (God bless ’em) any lipstick because they don’t use it. Type D-2 is the gal who eats her lipstick off. We can usually stand seeing Type D-2 bite her lips; it’s the constant replenishing that gets our goat. All of them arc bad, but NO lip stick is worse. That’s why we like the idea of a new course. Dress of the Week Red is the rage for this win ter, and ARLEEN THUR MOND, Tri Deft, starts the„sea son off right with a new traf fic red, silk jersey date dress. A full skirt caught into a bus tle in back joints with a cowl necked bodice, military shoul ders, and elbow length sleeves to make a youthful dance frock. For a touch of contrast, Ar leen wears an antique gold lock et, and black suede slippers.

New Trials Prominent In Diary DEAR DIARY: “Time’s awaisting” seems to be the motto all my professors have adopted for their own this term and I’m wailing to you that my assign ments are simply tremendous . . . don't the}r realize that such spring like weather, even though it comes in the middle of winter, is just as likely to produce symptoms of spring fever? I ask you, dear diary, would you let such wonderful weather go to waste? . . . well, neither have I. Finally a Date Incidentally, and with no con nection at all to the above, that handsome piece of mankind has finally, after a few gentle hints, asked for a date to, well, you won’t hit it at first so I’ll tell ... to go with him to inspect the trophies, or whatever one calls those fossils and things ... in the museum in Condon. Ah, well, every inch counts but I’m not sure it is too rapid progress. Pledge Trials I would love to keep here a rec ord of the tortures we pledges arc suffering this week for pre-initia tion but since that cither episode I am rather scared that those mem bers will find this diary again and although the classical story in jour nalism is about that editor who said that threats couldn’t intimidate him (—get that?) I have no one between me and you the brutes who would like to take it out of hie. So I shall refrain from more than comment ing that the boys’ houses have noth ing on us and if it weren’t for the dean of women's protection, I'll bet that our members would send us up to the fraternities for dinner et al. If I have to say my telephone ditty a few more times, I'll slay the inventor of it. It’s so ungrammati cal! Dessert again tonight with the Floogy Flops. I sure hope I can follow my partner for they have finite a reputation for dancing in that house. It’s all for the reputa tion of our house that I worry, of course.
