Winter term is certainly flying by. Here it is mid-term exam time already. What to do? There is so much studying piling up, most of us find it hard to take care of all our extra-curricular activities this term—or do you find it vice-ver sa? The women certainly have no kick coming this term about for mal dances. What with the WAA dance last Saturday, the Military ball, Senior ball, and all the house dances which are coming up; I predict the coeds to soon set up a cry. “What shall I wear this time. I’m going with Horace again, and every time I’ve been out with him I’ve worn that black velvet. I’ve had to wear it, too, because he only asks me to every other cam pus dance, so if I wore the blue moire with him this time, I'd be wearing the same dress to two campus dances in succession. Oh dear! I just can’t win.” Foremost in everyone’s mind in planning for the coming weekend, is a means of sharing it with Dad. Mother's weekend is always pretty much under control with Junior Weekend providing most of the en tertainment, but Dad usually has to suffer. This year, however, he will be able to enjoy two basket ball games, which should prove ex citing, and then “the kids” will Dad’s Banquet Draws Attention In Big Weekend By MARV KAV' KIORDAN Saturday evening at 5:30 o’clock, Oregon students will honor Dads at a banquet, highlighting the weekend dedicated to Dads. Midst green and yellow decorations in Gerlinger hall, guests for the weekend will hear President Donald M. Erb speak. The thirteenth annual Dad’s weekend promises to leave every Dad with memories of the best time of his life. Dads wil lnot only see the campus fixed up in its best, but will get a first hand knowledge of his have to show "Pop” around—so lie can see where his money goes. The banquet should be of great inter est to Dad, too, with President Donald Erb as speaker. * * * What's more fun than a fire drill at 1 o'clock in the morning? With the sound of the alarm everyone scurries about, headed in the gen eral direction of down. When as sembled in a sorority living room, the girls are really a sight to be hold. Curlers, grease-jobs, winter nighties, hair nets and all the rest, go to make the sleepy-eyed coeds’ appearance none to glamorous. One house reports their freshmen, on the first drill of the year, took quite some time in getting down stairs—as they stopped to get their robes and comb their hair. Consequently the drill was a com plete failure, and the torture had to be endured again another night. # * * Betty Lou Kurtz, head of the Far Eastern Student Service Fund drive, has asked that we make mention of the fact that the cam (7Jleas'd turn tn page jour) Be ULTRA SMART with LUCIEN LELONG CREATIONS *Mon Image. “A reflec tion of yourself in fra grance.” In a box of flashing mirrors. $:» A compliment that will flatten any lady. ♦Opening Night l’erfunie.

High Style Plus Warmth Can you imagine anything more precious, or more practical even, than this woolly jacket? Trim squared shoulders and brass buttons marching down the front are of military inspiration. The hood is pure genius for campus wear, protecting ears from cold north winds and keeping curly locks in place. A plaid wool lining gives extra warmth. The jacket is of natural sheep wool and may be had with various colored lining and skirt to match. It’s one of the best for an all-around outfit! Fan Talk Rules For Coed Coquettes By PAT ERICKSON Note: Ladies employing these rules in the exercise and coquetry of the fan do so at their own risk, i . If a genteel young female greets her loved one with a half open fan pressed to her lips, she should understand that she means “You may kiss me.” On the other hand, a maid with a serene look, but covering her left ear with an open fan would mean to say “Don't betray our secret!” “I love you,” is subtly and wordlessly expressed by drawing the fan across the cheek. And a pet ulant “Why do you misunderstand me?” is tableau-ed by “gazing pensively at unfolded fan. “Do not be so imprudent,” which would be well accompanied by a faint swishing of the skirt, con sists of a threatening motion with the fan folded. Had Kules Down Ladies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries really had the fan rules down pat. Well and good, but it must have been a bit diffi cult to put the idea over to the men. A fan code, so to speak. . . . There were compensations, how ever. Imagine, for instance, hav ing a strictly fan argument. A lady would have no remarks to re gret! The lover gets cross. He raises his voice. The maiden simp ly gazes pensively at folded fan t "Why do you misunderstand me ?”) The lover by now is very irked. The maid purses her lips and threatens with fan folded ("Do not be so imprudent.” Soon in a better mood for having the dis cussion take a nicer turn, the now agreeable young lady presses the half open fan to her lips ("You may kiss me.”) What a weapon! Keep Cool! If you'd like to hark back to the days when “The early Ameri can lady found the fan an indis pensable aid in keeping cool and a fascinating weapon of coquetry," you can secure a fan, complete with instructions in its use, from an Early American Spice dealer.

Just the other day I saw her walking up the campus and bounded over to talk about school.” "Hullo, I started—chummy, you know, and she gave me the cold shoulder. I looked again. Yes, I was talking to Mary Ellen, she had a mole on her left cheek.” "I dropped back a few feet, then caught up with her again. We got to the bushes by Deady.” " ‘Go away, you fiend,’ she screeched at me in a loud stage whisper. I’m being initiated. Can't talk to men.” "So I went away. Never heard of anything so silly.” Then there is the case of the Chi Omega freshmen who lived in fear of having to scoop up the I Coed Has Music as Hobby By CORRINE YVIGNES Clear and sweet, Joanne Riesch's natural soprano voice resounded through the journalism building, drawing many listeners from vari ous rooms, as she sang her own composition, "Sweetheart of All My Dreams” (words and music composed in 15 minutes). “I’d probably make a good vio lin tuner,” she said regarding her her remarkable ability to obtain the correct pitch without the aid of a piano. A major in sociology, Joanne spends a great deal of her time studying music. Since she felt that she did not have a “genius” ability at playing any music instrument, this brown-haired, hazel-eyed Pi Phi decided to make music her | hobby instead of a profession. Organized Singers Starting with a trio last year, 1 Joanne has organized about twen ty of her sorority sisters into a chorus for which she is director. She is also collaborating with a boy on the campus, and their com position “I’ll Whisper Sweet Noth ings to You” (not swing but sweet music), will soon be copyrighted. In both her fields of major in terest she has been pledged to honoraries this year, Alpha Kappa Delta, sociology honorary, and Mu Phi Epsilon, national music hon orary for upperclass women. Awarded her junior certificate with honors, Joanne, an all-around activity girl, is president of Am phibian, girls swimming organiza tion, and WAA custodian this year, having served as sergeant at-arms last year. As a reason for her participa tion in so many activities Joanne declared that the only way you can meet people is to be among them. “I wish more people would smile and speak to each other on the campus,” she said, “if we are go ing to be career women, we must have a large contact of friends, and must know how to go out and take our place in the world.” After graduation this junior coed may go east to a graduate sociological school, or continue her work at the University of Oregon Medical school clinic in Portland, where she has worked for the last three summers. gravel from their sunporch, carry it downstairs, wash it, and bring it back up to re-spread.
