Alumni Hall Serves
Student Union Need
By LOIS HULSER
Society Editor
Few of the old timers wouldn’t know where to go if you sent them
to alumni hall so we thought maybe the freshmen should include it
on their tour of inspection and introduction to the institution. Many
are the times you will swing out at a campus dance, chat over a sig
arette, go to meetings there at the suggestion of upperclassmen but
didn’t know you were using alumni hall. Yes, it’s Gerlinger hall to
you. We’re not getting technical, just reminding you that the suite of
rooms for student use lias a name of its own.
The dance floor is a gymnasium
in the daytime and is used for all
campus dances when Hobby gives
an emphatic “No!" to the question
“Can we dance in the Igloo Satur
day night?” Adjacent to the ball
room is the sunroom, last year
newly furnished with sport furni
ture by the alums. This is the of
ficial smoking room they tell us
so during the day students can be
seen resting there.
The upstairs lounge is kept for
formal gatherings namely teas,
•meetings and such. A kitchen is
They double for lounging and
sleeping. Tailored to perfec
tion just like a man’s pajama
with just enough feminine
touches! You’ll adore their
perfect tailoring . . . their
"different” styling . . • their
sleek fit.
They’re comforrable, because
they’re cut plenty full across
the back and in the crotch,
and — they wash beautifully.
We’ve a host of styles to
choose from.

equipped for preparing and serv

The men’s lounge is on the first
floor and though occasionally used
for meetings it still belongs to the
men.
AWR loungf on the third floor is
for women only. A small dance
floor on third completes the rooms
of alumni hull, our present student
union.

GREATER LOVE DEPARTMENT
If the girl back home only knew!
Three Side patrons the other day
kept their eye on a chap for fifty
five minutes, during which time
he did nothing but stare at a girl’s
picture which he carried in his wal
let. He propped the picture up so
that he could gaze as he guzzled a
coke, and he laid it flat out so that
he might peer at it as he smoked.
Ecstatic expressions crossed his
face. Fifty-five minutes. . . .
What? Oh yes, he was alone all
right.

Sauce
for the
Goose
By PAT ERICKSON
We wanted to spend our ener
gies this week in a play by play
description of Being Collegiate at
the University of Oregon.
We Were going to have a lot of
fellows say they didn’t like knee
socks and say “See there, nyahhh!"
We were going to hunt up THE
recipe for being sloppy and glam
orous at the same time, and com
fortable.
But we decided that college at
this point is pretty overwhelming
anyway, especially If you concen
trate on it, and it’s best just to
smooth the whole thing over and
let you think everything is hunky
dory, the way it sounds in the cat
alog.
And for the No Registration Is
Complete Without It Department:
the perennial enrollee in this mag
nificent institution who looks at
her white book and then says to
those about her, “Who is this
Staff? Is he easy?”

The large zipper notebook vogue
seems to have taken a firm hold at
last. While last year's objectors to
the suitcase-like grips have in
many cases completely capitulated
and bought one of the things, last
year’s faddists have gone even far
ther. A breathless young man fell
into a seat beside me in history
class the other morning and be
gan toying with the outsize zipper
on his notebook, a mammoth af
fair complete with handles. I was
dying to see if he was carrying an
extra pair of trousers in the back
pocket.

Just about the most touchingly
Oregon scene we’ve witnessed late
ly was in the Side. Three disconso
late bridge players sat staring into
empty coke bottles and full ash
trays, waiting. On the booth parti
tion, propped on a glass was a sign
which said, “We need a fourth!”
* =!■■ •
We had to look six times to fig
ure this one out, but it must sure
ly put the idea of Being Collegiate
in a nutshell. Two otherwise very
charming girls with long bobs
walked across the campus the oth
er day arrayed in gabardine pork
pie hats, reversible raincoats,
knee socks, and wooden shoes,
both outfits being identical. Un
derneath they probably had on red
corduroy jumper dresses with long
sleeved shirts. Ah me, aren’t fash
ions just too amusing?

By BUCK BUCHVY ACti
(Noted Feminine Counsellor)
It's very lucky for you freshie
gals that the Emerald woman's
page comes out on Thursday, be
cause otherwise it would be a long
time before you found out just how
to go collegiate.
I have received thousands and
thousands of letters—if the mail
man is reading this, don't say a
word till I can offer you a small
bribe—imploring me to publicly ex
plain to the modern female how to
go collegiate.
It's really simple. (Most coeds
are that way also, when you dig
below their outer coat of paint).
First of all, you beautiful girls
— and you are beautiful as any of
you will shyly admit in about 50,
000 words—you must have that so
phisticated attitude and blase de
meanor. In case you don’t use the
same dictionary I have, that means
to tilt your nose in the air, say
“eyether," and “rally,” and "lawf,”
and “cawn’t,” wriggle your little
finger while you hold your fork,
don't stretch more than five feet
in reaching for the bread, and don't
have more than three helpings at
the table.
Then you must look dumbly
sloppy and display studied non
chalance at the same time, all the
while looking horribly bored with
it all. When someone asks you
something at the Side, look up
slowly, curl your eyelashes, and
blab:
“Oh, I'm too much engrossed in
this bridge game to answer. Cawn’t
you see me lateh?”
Oh yes, I suppose you’re worried
about that looking,sloppy business.
You probably figure it will take you
a long time to look as bad (-)
that is, look as collegiate (-)
as some of the gals you see on the
campus.
Well, it’s really not bad, though
it does take a while to break your
self of the ugly habit of being
neat. But later on you'll let your
hair fly any old way, you'll wear
knee length stockings that are al
ways slipping, you’ll wear an old
rag that once was hustled off as a
hat, and you’ll keep your dirty sad

Latest Shriek in 1920
Is A Laugh By 1940
By MARY ANN CAMPBELL
Itn’t it appalling the way fash
ions change? The Latest Shriek in
1920, y'know, long waists, Dutch
bobs, longish tight skirts, and long,
pointed-toed jsl^oes, looks pretty
queer now.
As the twenties frisked along,
the skirts shrank upward and up
ward, the waistline stayed down,
and the hair was still pretty slick
ish. Even Clara Bow’s curly, all
over-the-place, floor-mop effect
didn't influence as many coiffures
as did Colleen Moore’s. That was
the era when the movies were be
ginning to affect styles, and the
present big names in Hollywood
fashion design wei'e unknown.
The twenties was the decade
when everybory wanted to be as
scrawny as possible and still live.
A rare few accomplished it, but
most people merely wished they
could look better in the perpendicu
lar and unnatural lines.
The little tight hats, cloche hats
they were called, and unbecoming
V necklines stayed right in there,
holding their own, until about 1929,
when all of a sudden, some Paris
designers began to show evening
dresses with dipping hemlines.
Some had sort of peacock tails
trailing in back, and some had lit
tle wisps of material dangling off
the hemline. Then afternoon dress
es began to copy their more for
mal relatives.
Skirts took a sudden tumble with
the stock market in 1930, and by
1934 they were almost to the an
kles, even for the street. They
were still tight, though. The Em
press Eugenie hat burst like the
well-known meteor on the fashion
scene, and out, for good, or at
least a few years, went the tight
tail chapeau. Lounging pajamas
were an innovation of this era, and
conservative souls were jarred at
the sight of them on the beaches
and in smart bars. Their influence
is still felt in the numerous slacks,
which luckily fit better than did
some of their predecessors.
Off-the-shoulder evening dresses
after Winterhalter are so near cur
rent trends that an occasional one
still lingers in various and sundry
closets.
The new clothes are by far the
best of any since 1920, OF
COURSE, but even the present
beautiful, appropriate, becoming,
and dashing garb we array our
selves in now just possibly might
look positively archaij to future
generations. At least, they will
probably give posterity a good
long laugh.
dies until your feet refuse to as
sociate with them any longer.
Of course, you can’t expect to
attain collegiate perfection in just
a day or two, but it’ll come. A good
way to rush it along is to wear
something that looks like Hades,
such as a sloppy Joe sweater—
which are made for sloppy Joes and
not Joans by the way—or perhaps
you go for one of those surrealis
tic hats with feathers sticking out
that make you look like you came
from a henhouse.
To be a collegiate female you
must always order something that
sets the boy friend back a month’s
paycheck when you go out, like you
haven't had a thing in your mouth
for over a month except halitosis.
Also don’t forget to turn away at
the door when your escort tries to
kiss you good-night, and say: “We
really shouldn’t the first night out
together.” Do that even if you are
a no-account liar, because he’ll
probably miss your lips as you turn
away and kiss you on the back of
the head, which probably tastes
much better than your eight coats
of lipstick anyway.

Piggers Truck
To Dope Shop
To Chew Fat
By CORINNE YVIGNES
“Pardon me but you look just
like Margie!”
Thus the O. K. Joe (swell male
person l stopped the O. K. Judy
(swell female person) and invited
her into the Dope Shop (College
Side) for a pigger (cigarette).
“Wow, look at that handsome
heat god!” exclaimed O. K. Judy,
grinning widely at a young pro
fessor who walked by. “I didn’t
know they grew like that in this
dog town (campus).”
“Aha—quilling (apple polishing)
already!” said O. K. Joe.' “You’d
better be hitting the books (study
ing) or you'll catch a blippy (flunk
a course)!”
“Yes," sighed the sex - trap
(girl), my econ course is sure a
lu-lu!”
About that time Smoochie Ram
and Giggling Lucy decided they
also would go into the Dope Shop
for a dope (the pause that re
freshes).
‘‘Piggen again,” Smoochie Sam
hollered as he spied O. K. Joe and
O. K. Judy.
"Pretty salty (not bad),” gig
gled Lucy as she smirked at O. K.
“Who’s Yehudi?” S. Sam asked
as he put a nickel in the jute box
(nickelodian), and then planted
himself beside G. Lucy.
"Hot jive’,” she exclaimed kick
ing her tootsies under the table.
After jellying (drinking a dope
in a two-hour time limit) O. K.
Judy and O. K. Joe decided to blow
the fire trap (leave).
“Well, I guess I’ll go out on a
boomer (big time) tonight!” said
O. K. Joe after they were outside.
"Want to go along?”
“Gee, I can’t, I have to practice
on my licorice stick (clarinet,” O.
K. Judy answered.
“Fooey-pop!” exclaimed 3.5 man
(O. K. Joe) “you can tear into it
(hurry) now and I’ll pick you up
at 8.”
And so they parted!
“Hey, fellas, I’m really drag
ging a dollie tonight!” said O. K.
Joe that evening at dinner.
And the next morning at break
fast O. K. Judy said dreamily,
“Not a tool or a dope, or a deal—
just a moron!”
