For Women Only By MARGE FINNEGAN First off, we must give more or chids to the Scabbard and Blade boys for the super job of decorat ing they did on the Igloo Saturday night. One could almost forget for the first time in many years that it was the same place in which basketball games were witnessed last week. They really did the trick of concealing "ye old gym.” The ballroom looked as nice as any in this part of the country. Lip-Lights Clever Haveyou heard about the new business venture Don Walker and Gene McGee are inaugurating? These Theta Chis have quite a corporation from what we are told. Their super-salesmanship is sup posed to make a “lip-light” part of every campus queen's date equipment. As to the nature of the product, it is a tricky little gad ge about two and one-half inches long containing a lipstick, and with an illuminated band around the base—to enable coeds to put lipstick on in the dark. It’s quite an invention! (This unsolicited plug will net the writer a free one trust.) Sorry to Scoop! We do hope that "Hairless Joe” Bryant and “Curb Cruiser” Rog ers won’t mind our infringing on their territory this week with the woman's page exclusive scoop of the Norwood-Davis pin planting. (Or at least we hope it will still be exclusive from them by the time this page appears.) Lost and Found Poor Glenn Hasselrooth, of Em erald staff fame, spent several miserable hours Monday ti'ying to find his pal, Johnny Koppen, of "feminine secret-sorrow” fame.

Ad Women Point Out Opportunity Oregon students are letting worthwhile opportunities slip through their fingers, Gamma Al pha Chi, women's national adver tising honorary, announced recent ly.

Bette Norwood, New Campus Queen Likes to Travel, Ride By CORRINE WIGNES “Monarch of all she surveyed,” Bette Norwood rules at the Mili tary ball last Saturday night, after being commissioned Little Colonel. The lovely Tri Delt, clothed in the royal robes, led he grand march, escorted by Chancellor F. M. Hunter, and graciously accepted the un expected honor. Wednesday, shortly after her ! interview with this reporter, the queenly Bette left to meet San Davis, wearing, for the first time, his Kappa Sigma fraternity em blem. Bette is five feet four and a half inches tall, wears her dark hair becomingly short, and has dreamy hazel eyes. A junior major in so ciology, she is barely 21. To Be Social Worker Born on a ranch near Jamison, in eastern Oregon, the latest Little Colonel attended St. Teresa's acad emy for girls, at Boise, Idaho. She has always been interested in so cial work and after entering the University decided to specialize in welfare cases. “After I graduate,” she said, “I intend to do welfare work in the slums section of some large city.” As a member of last year’s all star basketball coeds, Bette made Story of Artists’ Ball One of Evolution By PAT ERICKSON Strictly art school, strictly costume, strictly everything but strict, they say, the annual art school Beaux Arts ball is booked for Friday night at the Anchorage. But Beaux Arts balls did not just happen. They evolved. In 1922, a Bohemian affair was sponsored by the art school at the Anchorage (its timbers were stronger then). That started the ball rolling for art school affairs. Libe: Best Place to Not Study By A DELK CANADA Conversation heard at the li brary : ‘‘I dropped in at tpe libe the other day. You see I saw my mid term grades and decided to begin studying. Well, I was all busi ness . . . “After 1 had been working on my history for some time (approx imately 5 minutes) and read to page 362, I looked up. The girl across the table was ogling me. Well, I patched up my lipstick and went back to looking at the book. I couldn't resist though, so I glanced up again. Yes, the girl was still staring. Wooden Shoes Again “Someone with wooden shoes started down the aisle. That post poned studying a little longer. Af ter the thundering herd passed, I saw Janie. We talked a. while, un til the boy with the glasses (I think he must be a Phi Bete) joined the girl who stares (I’m sure that she’s a German spy) and they both began to give Janie and me dirty looks. That was too much. We went out for a cigar ette. “The cigarette really refreshed (Please, (nrn to puu’ four) oinuuno, uuu ixiuuiiug apples on strings, the art school dance took shape as a Hallowe’en party in 1923. “Food was served for a small fee.” The next year they got rowdy dow, and called their dance the “Art School Bust.” Entertainment lasted from 8 to 10:30 p.m., as well as dancing. Coffee and doughnuts were served. Pumpkin pie and October ale featured at the 1925 “Art School Bust,” p»vhich also lasted from 8 till 10:30 p.m. Members of the school made up a three-piece or chestra to provide music. That year, too, the Allied Art league was formed. A date affair for the first time in 1926, the dance is recorded as the Beaux Arts ball, first use of that title. It was held in the men’s gym, prizes were given costumes, and a campus five-piece orchestra furnished music. No Beaux Arts ball as such was held again until 1929, when it was sponsored as a Leap Year affair. There was nothing small about it, either. An airplane was hired which flew over the campus drop ping free tickets between Gerling er and the Administration build [ ing. Tickets cost $1, and patrons ! of the dance went to the Campa j Shoppe where they found the room I decorated in the “Apache atmos phere of the Bohemian quarter of a French dive," rye bread, cheese, and beer served as refreshments. The ball went exclusive in 1930, being held in the Osburn hotel with a carnival idea. “The best of -^ USE MILLER’S CHARGE ACCOUNTS MILLER’S Eugene's Newest Dept.
