Second Section VOLUME XLIII Second Section NUMBER 43 PLATTE DWELLER 1 —Photo by Don Jones A far traveller from Buenos Aires on the river Platte is Shirley Beller, freshman in journalism. Miss Belier’s parents are Webfoots, which accounts for her ristant journeying to obtain education. She says that Oregon is “different” from schools in South America. Argentina Not Romantic To Oregon Glamor Girl By JANET WAGSTAFF Although the address Buenos Aires, Argentina, spells ro mance and adventure to North Americans, by force of recent glamorous good neighbor efforts, it is familiar, even common place, to Shirley Beller, Oregon freshman. “People always expect me to tell something unusual about me back home, Shirley said. primitive, rather crude place, but in reality Buenos Aires is one of the largest cities in the world. An4 tfrere isn’t anything very different about the way we live..” Not Alone The differences between South and North American living ap peared so small to her that the light-haired coed pondered for several minutes trying to think of some. “Of course, you know we never go out without a chap eron,” she finally said. And that one point of difference started her telling of the greater formal ity of life in the Argentine city. She recalled that not more than They seem to think it is a 10 years ago a woman couldn’t even go out on the street alone. Now she claims it is safe enough for that. “Men just smile at a girl now and remark about how nice she looks. When you’re all dressed up, it’s very disappoint ing if they don’t,” she added. Travelogue Explaining why she came so far from home to go to school, she said that she came to Oregon because her parents were both Webfoots. “It was the only school in the States that I knew any thing about.” (Please turn to page seven) Sfv^V Sr« • IN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES Wishing You a Merry Christmas Wright's Appliances 96 I-:. Broadway Pli. 222 So She Gave Him a Pipe But, Ugh, the Hod Stank By BOB FRAZIER “I’il give liim a pipe,” she said after wondering for three wqpks what to give her boy friend for Christmas. And so she gave him a pipe and it wouldn't draw, and it stank, and it tasted like the deuoe. The moral of this story is that girls (and boys, too) should avoid buying pipes as presents unless they have some idea of what they are buying. The primary rule in buying pipes is that you got just about what you pay for. The next rule is to beware of gadgets. Good briar, the wood in the bowl makes a good pipe, and all the gadgets in the world can’t make up for it if the briar is bad. No “Cute” Ones There is a pipe to go with every face, so think a bit before you pick out some shape that looks “cute” in the display case, but makes the male who smokes it look like something a goat wouldn’t touch. Long, curved shapes are nice, but the oppor tunities for smoking them are strictly limited. The same is true of the ultra Joe College pipe. It looks fine at a rally, but its ap pearance at more dignified places is questionable. When you get away from briar pipes and begin buying those made of metal and other more exotic substances, more care is required. For every genuine pipe made of a substance other than briar, there are five fakes. If you want to go into the real dough, you can take a crack at calabash or meerschaum. Here again, how ever, care should be exer'eized, and the old rule of getting what you pay for is more important than ever. The cheap calabash is likely to have a porcelain bowl, whereas the better grades will be lined with meerschaum. Cheap Clays There are a number of cheaper clays masquerading as meer schaum, which will heat up and stink after a few months of (Please turn to pat/r six) Qfuni P'Una Phone QaLLi By VIRGINIA WELLS Hopeful for the Holidays? Are you merely wishing for dates over the Christmas vacation? If you are still a “hopeful,” wait ing for the telephone to ring, here are a few tipoffs for date appeal. Try smiling. Looking cheerful does a lot towards making friends. Besides, those cute rain hats we see so often now, look better above a smiling counten ance. Keep Smiling Need a line? Definitely not, the boys won’t swallow hook, line, and come back for a date. Keep up a good conversation and be interested in what he says even if it is about forward passes and field goals. An eye for an eye, but none of this “I for you” stuff. Keep the fellow guessing; don't let him know he’s the reason you are in his Anthropology class. And Looking Well Love is blind, but not too blind, to notice chipped fingernail pol ish or a mussy coiffure. Remem ber, appearance is what makes that all-important first impres sion. Be willing to walk. Don’t put the car ahead of the man even if you do have five corns and your shoes are a size too small. fljulztide 9au 9i> Reflected 9*i (led 5budi By JEAN FRIDEGER With “Jingle Bells," “Silent Night," etc., in the air you’ll be dressing up for the holidays . . .
