Gift Ideas Gone?
Try a Quaint One
By MARJORIE MAJOR
Is there one of those already-has-everything people on your
list? Or perhaps the victim of your Christmas spirit is a hard
as-heck-to-please. Or maybe you want to be a smoothie-who
does-things-up-brown. In any event here are some rather quaint
ideas.
Have you thought of monogrammed matches? They might
serve as a temporary solution to the problem of the borrowing
• roommate.
The craft which has grown up
around our Oregon myrtlewood
trees produces beautiful things as
expensive or as reasonable as you
wish. Huge bowls for fruit or
tiny rings set in gold make
charming gifts.
For anyone who reads in bed a
book stand which may also be
used for an invalid’s game of
solitaire is thoughtful.
Records for Christmas will be
doubly appreciated this year be
cause the Boston “Pops” orches
tra will soon discontinue all re
cordings.
What about leather bookcovers
for your rooommate’s favorite
books? Or cans of his brand of
pipe tobacco ?
Jasmine tea for your mother
is a luxury for winter days by
the fire.
Have you heard the new alarm
clocks which play dulcet Strauss
waltzes ? Also what about a lucite
frame for your brother’s pet en
largement ?
Any girl would appreciate a
box of monograms in her favor
ite colors which she can stick on
towels, socks, blouses, etc. little
sister would go wild over a
matched wooly socks and scarf
set in luscious shades.
Books go without saying, but if
you are feeling wealthy how
about an inexpensive pair of op
era glasses for the artist series ?
Please don’t give anyone a pipe

or a tie—where’s your imagina
tion ? Instead, if he lives out, per
haps he would enjoy a miniature
electric coffee pot for midnight
cramming.
A big, fat hassock for some
one’s room can be had in bright
colored leathers. And have you
thought about beauty treatment
tickets for a swell roomie.
Have you seen the plaid shoe
strings which would delight the
heart of any high school girl on
your list ? Perhaps you might col
lect a party box of chocolate
fudge mixture, instant coffee and
small cans of soup for a friend
who lives out and enjoys spreads.
And finally, if you know some
one who is especially beautiful in
her long-sleeved blouses, you
might make the grand gestures
and send her jeweled cuff links.
P.S. If- you are rich you might
consider a movie pass book to
someone’s favorite theater.

Holiday Fashions Noted
By Beauty in Simplicity
By LOIS H1JLSER
Simplicity, is beauty—Christmas fashion emphasizing straight,
lines and graceful fullness appeals to the coed whose fashion vote
is always for casualness. For ttie trip, home by train, plane or
automobile, a gay plaid suit topped by a camel’s hair coat are her
traveling orders. A light wool princess dress under a mink muskrat
coat also dooks passage tor tne
fashion streamliner.
The first afternoon home, Miss
Oregon will don a multi-pleated
skirt with a blending long-sleeved,
long-waisted, handknitted cash
mere, the usual long strand of
pearls, and over all a camel's
hair topcoat. Socks and saddles
add the final touch to the sport
ensemble and, having the family
car for the vacation, she is off
with the girls to the drive-in for
a short three-hour coke session to
discuss all important events in
city society since September.

beige shirtmaker, Betty Coed is
all set for the collegiate mix. For
the informal occasion she chooses
a blue-green velveteen with round
neck catching the fullness and
featuring a long silhouette
waistline. Formal parties will see
the young collegian in a white
crepe model draped from shoul

and a very full skirt. For formal
dining a black dinner dress with
long full sleeves will be orna
mented by a short multi-strand
necklace of seed pearls to trim
the round neckline.

The new jacket has strings that

mittens to match, and heavy,
practical boots finish the en

Military Science Head
Outlines RO 7C Program.
By TED GOODWIN
In answer to many questions concerning the University
ROTC program, Col. R. M. Lyon, head of the military science
department, said, “As far as we now know, the senior ROTC
class will be graduated in June as planned.”
He expressed certainty the entire class of graduates would
be called to immediate active duty as second lieutenants. An or
uer irom me war utparuiiem
might, however, ask for their
graduation before June. If so,
the department will endeavor to
increase the practical training in
leadership and military tactics.
Colonel Lyon advised men stu
dents qualified' for advanced mili
tary training not to rush to the
recruiting stations for immediate
enlistment but to continue in
school. An expected increase in
the allotment for advanced
course students will make it pos
sible for every qualified student
to receive a commission as a sec
ond lieutenant.
“The future value of a college
graduate to the army is greater
than his present value as an un
trained recuit,” Colonel Lyon
stated, emphasizing the need of
leaders and officers of above av
erage education.
An order from the ninth corps
area headquarters in San Fran
cisco provides that all staff of
ficers shall appear in uniform at
all times. So far, this is the only
apparent change in the functions
of the military department.
Expressing full agreement with
the national government, Colo
nel Lyon said that since the war
may be a long one, it is impera
tive that life move along normal
ly in order to maintain unity and
all-out cooperation with the
armed forces.
He echoed the opinion of the
president with surprise and in
dignation at the “dastardly at
tack on the unsuspecting isl
ands.’’ However, he expressed
doubt that Japan can land
troops on American soil and stat
ed that the fortifications at Pearl
harbor are of the strongest.
Colonel Lyon was on active
duty in Hawaii for several years
before World War I and is con
fident that the island defenses
are dependable.
He declined to express an opin
ion on unverified reports of a
military nature, stating that it is
for the war department to deter
mine the significance of conflict
ing claims.
Confidence and a firm convic
tion that the nation must stead
ily and deliberately prosecute
this war marked Colonel Lyon’s
attitude. He declared that the
war will not be won in a matter
of weeks but by relentlessly
bending every effort toward ul
timate victory.
