Give Furniture 'We Need Furniture,' Houses Wail to Santa By BOB WHITELY “Dear Santa — please send the house some furniture. Golly how we need it." Every fraternity and sorority house on the campus can use furn ishings for their house at any time of the year. Nothing gives a better appearance to a guest or notable than to come in to a well-furnished house. Within a boys’ house the problem is quite a bit different than with girls. The gifts have to be of a very wearable nature, yet they have to fit in with the whole scheme of decorations. Nearly every house has its den and fireplace where people gather to discuss ev erything from politics to ping pong, and the wear on the furni ture is terrific. Den Hints Recommended furniture for the den includes huge leather uphol stered chairs and davenports to match. They will have to be strong, because when 500 pounds of fra ternity beef start wrestling around on them-- they have to be “built to take it.” A rich oriental rug will greatly enhance the beauty of any room, and tne same principle works for the rug as the davenports and chairs. Drapes Good Venetian blinds and floor length drapes will make the furnishings complete in any house, and are great assets. For the living room, occasional chairs, end tables and pictures can always be used to a good advant age. Ash trays that just won't tip over, no matter how hard they are hit, are always welcome. Large overstaffed footstools are always needed the upper classmen get all the chairs. ‘Pokers’ Help There’s nothing like a good fire place fire, and something that will make it look just that much better is a good set of andirons and “pok ing tools” to match. By far the most welcome gift as far as studying is concerned i3 new lamps. New. indirect lighting will bring out the beauty in any room. A new radio, pictures, any item of home furnishings can always be used by a house, and are always gratefully appreciated by those who live there. If your alumni group is contemplating buying some furnishings for your house, let them know what you need worst—which v^ill in nine cases out of ten include everything men tioned. Crocker’s Gifts are Tomorrow’s Heirlooms Music boxes from Switzer land, China from England, Crystal, Fancy Candles, Hand kerchiefs.

Crocker’s ‘ART CRAFT’ “THE MOST TALKED OF GIFT SHOP IN TOWN” 56 W. 13th Ave. Phone 212 PATRIOTIC ACCESSORIES , Kenyon-Jones Photo These accessories will light the patriotic fires in milady's heart; the bright red of the suede gloves is repeated in the beads, the round powder compact is designed in circles of red, white, and blue, and the handkerchief is splashed with stars and the American flag. The purse goes stern in black broadcloth with a big amber clasp. sa FOR THE ARMY MAN Kenyon-Jones Photo Just the gift for that boy friend or brother in the army—a grained leather zipper toilet kit, or a distinctive shaving set with wooden bowl. Buy Radios Christmas Worries? How About aRadio? By JOHNNY KAHANANUI Does your best friend have a radio ? If he does have one, it prob ably gargles and splutters like yours.

Even if the only thing you can count on or in your wallet right now is the number of teeth in the zipper, soon you’ll be thumbing through those Yuletide savings, tfnd, of course, there’s no better (or maybe louder) way of spread ing joy than through a shining new radio. It’s Contraband Montgomery Ward is giving away a fist-sized Airline for S6.95, call it $7 even, if you wish. Emer son is sporting a $9.95 affair that can be toted anywhere and plugged into any AC or DC outlet . . . has a built-in aerial, a handle ’n every thing. Again, $9.95. Of course for $17.95 you can get a five-tube deal, and throwing in an extra two bucks will get the purchaser one with “no outside wires." Cabinets Vary RCA Victor offers a six-tube compact in a “new design” plastic housing for $18.95. Another dollar, Sideshow (Continued from paeje two) Lindbergh made his speech we put his mother-in-law (Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow) on the air —and was that a face card? It was. “She said, ‘Telegraph the White House and your congress men' and the next day . . . In,000 telegrams came tumbling down on Washington, saying give the destroyers to Great Britain.’ They never knew what hit them." Only Scolding So brags Mr. White. The Times quotes him merely as an introduction to scolding him for his frankness, saying that such talk will needlessly arouse sus picion and injure the usefulness of his committee. The Times is correct, of course, but that was not the rea son why Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri had the editorial reprinted in the Congressional Record, nor is it why I am quoting it here. , I don't want to preserve the use fulness of the William Allen White committee. Not at all. There is a lot of other per tinent information in this issue of the Record that ought to be cried from the housetops. But space, and the energy of the energy of the Emerald advertis ing staff, doesn't permit. If you're bored over the holidays — perish the thought—consult your public library. Meanwhile, so long till next term, and Merry Christmas. §19.95, will bring a six-tube super heterodyne (don’t ask what it means) AC and DC current Zenith. If you're a stickler for matching furniture, this one's in a walnut cabinet. General Electric is peddling a midget radio—six inches high, nine and one-fourth across, and five and one-eighth deep for $13.95. Works on either AC (alternating current, the kind that comes through the light sockets) or DC (battery stuff). Then there’s that novel combina tion bed lamp and radio for $21.95. Has adjustable brackets to lit any type bed, six tubes, and a tubular bed lamp enclosed. I’hllco Compact Philco blossoms forth with an AC-DC, attached aerial, no ground needed, five-tube thing for $11.95. Maybe there’s a plutocrat in the crowd. For him there are Philc.os at $79.95, RCA Victor combination at $169.50, Zeniths for $79.95, Gen eral Electrics for the same price, and Stromberg-Carlsons for take a deep breath—$220. So there you are — $7 to $200 plus. That’s enough for anybody. Or are you giving socks this Christmas, too. UNIVERSITY BUSINESS COLLEGE SHORTHAND — TYPEWRITING COMPLETE BUSINESS COURSES Edward L.

KENNELL-ELLIS ARTIST PIIOTOGRAPIIERS p Give Baggage College Coeds Crave Airplane L uggage By HELEN ANGELL Besides all those clothes that make life worth living', there are three articles that every Oregon coed thinks she has to have to be a success . . . wooden shoes, a string of peat Is . . . airplane lug gage. It's funny about this luggage business . . . how it hit the femi nine collegian with such force that it's now some sort of a tradition to see piles of like bags light with gay stripes around their middles - stacked in the basements of plac es where girls hang their hats. Eager for Luggage We asked some typical coeds what they thought about bags for Christmas. They were all eager about the whole thing. Trunks aren’t so important, they thought, because “you bring them down in the fall and hide them in the base ment until spring , . . and moth er’s will do." But good-looking bags give one that certain air of completion and finesse when she makes her entrance in the railroad station. “Why airplane luggage?” was queried, “is it just a fad or is there really a reason.” Want Something Unusual The little brunette being inter viewed was disgusted. "College girls have some unusual ideas,” she admitted, “but you can trace almost any of them to the fact that it is practical if a bit 'off the beat en track.’ Wooden shoes are crazy, but they keep the rain out. And airplane luggage ... we choose it because it's light, it’s durable, it's ; inexpensive, it's colorful . . . and j it has that sporty casual effect! that is the ideal of every coed.” Most college gil ls like to have ; the small overnight case for hur ried trips on weekends, and the larger weekend case with hangers. The big-size fortnighter, which serves as a small trunk is ideal for longer stays . . . and our brunette says they must all be matching “to suit the girl’s personality.” For girls who live far away, small cases fitted with comb, ! brush, mirror, and bottles for lo tions make an ideal gift. They'll be used on the train going home . . . and she’ll never stop saying, “I love it.” To the Oregon student body. Good luck in “Doc” Ireland, Prop.
