Qlam&uSi GaWii&i On But now no one has to tell you. You probably realize that there Iwere never so many luscious sweaters and suits on Oregon coeds, which gives you that mob feeling, and makes some of your wardrobe look sick. And you thought you were the only gal who had a pay check in the hun dreds! The situation definitely calls for action. And since buying more clothes isn’t the solution, perhaps it will enter your vic , y^ory bob that groonftng and •^..mooth beauty scheme are more important than a mere cashmere cardigan. The best news in years is the three-inch cut, and variations thereon. After a two-year build up, it can actually be seen on the campus in increasing numbers. Whether or not it’s becoming, it does save time and tears. Coeds are going to save pre Icious minutes before a coke date by using pancake makeup and a minimum of everything else. (Which reminds us, those grave yard shades of nail polish and lipstick are out at last, and the honey and true reds claim lip pi'i orities. And another thing, once a-day lathering of the complex ion saves wear and tear on any ;; mirror. If you are so fortunate as to '■ ave about three dollars left, why *tiot invest your pennies in a hair dryer, before they are no more. And we do hope you have a mend ing kit, a really complete one that is, and all the fixins for your shoes, from saddle soap on. Back to those glorious tweeds of yours, they will live longer and stay springy if treated to frequent evenly balanced hanger, and gen tle pressings. plUIUUUUni Good Taste Misplaced lllllllllllllllIillllllHIIlllllllllt Every single one of the other columnists writing for the Emer ald has a definite purpose, but this columnist has a Different Purpose . . . namely, to comment on anything around the campus that seems Worth Comment, and, of course, to keep the women's page editor from worrying about filling up all her space . . . any space, which usually isn’t Large, that has been kindly donated by the advertising staff. - Let us now pause to consider the beginning of fall term, which seems to be pretty much like all other fall terms, despite the an nounced drop in enrollment. The freshman girls are as beautiful as ever, which causes all the up percla;\;men to feel more like the Ancient Mariner than ever, and the freshman men have dis covered those light blue pants, possibly to keep anyone from thinking they are sophomores, but the chief result seems to be that they have acquired a sort of Fresh-From-the-Farm air. The utter lack and general dearth of upperclass men caused three senior girls the other night to discard their lofty dignity when they were joined by three freshman boys in one of the local coffee houses. They firmly an nounced they were freshmen and discussed the problems of English comp with fervor. One of the boys, a skeptical lad, remarked to one of the seniors that she seemed rather older than most B£ARD/ MSnNCIIVC APPAREL AND MOBBSOUBT GREETINGS!

Oregon is by no means anti At last I'm settling down to the life of a college freshman, and I love it. During rush week I had a perfectly wonderful, nerve-racking time rooming with Jiree other girls in the dorm. The closets were filled with luscious, clothes. There was one red wool jersey semi-dress job that gave me the screamers. The color, dah lia-red, was advertised in the Sep tember issue of Vogue; you prob ably saw it. Anyway it's really a patriotic dress 'cause it sticks to government regulations—no zip pers. The hidden clasps run all the way down the front of the dress which makes getting into it a simple matter. The long sleeves are smooth and have those same tricky clasps. Second best among the things I’ve seen I liked the culotte skirts. As soon as Dad sends my check I’m going to get one that’3 purple and grey checked to go with my new purple nylon sweat er. Hope I can get it in time for the bunion derby! I've racked my brain trying to think of something outstanding to wear to the church social Sun day. Mickey’s going to wear her new gray velveteen; it’s two-piece The skirt is gathered in the front and the dressy jacket ties in a bow on the right hand side. The matching turban and wine plat form shoes set it off. I wanted to borrow June’s black dress but someone beat me to it. Its draped lines and bright colored sequin midriff list it high on the lend-lease code of the house. I returned from the Portland game with very little cash but lots of new clothes. On the trip home I wore a Sam Brown suit and matching beanie of woven leather strips. But my favorite is a steel blue velveteen date dress; partly because cf its sweetheart neck, and partly because of its fitted bodice and dirndl-type skirt. Gosh! I almost forgot my one o’clock class. I’ll write again soon. Yours till ycu start borrowing my clothes, Jerry Stowall. of the freshmen. Our senior, evi dently feeling she had done so much fibbing already a little more wouldn't matter, blandly in formed him she had stayed out of school a couple of years, which, caused her friends considerable mirth. If the boys happen to read this, by some bit of bad luck, they should ignore it . . . the gals were highly entertained. NOW, here's one about a fresh man girl. This sweet young thing was determined to be very col legiate and blase, so, when she was offered a cigarette at one of the rush teas, she accepted. Some one came up to light it for her, but the gal, who was a trifle un accustomed to smoking, held it out at arm's length to be lighted. The other girl, always the per fect hostess, took it, lit it for her and handed it back!!! Had you noticed how all the freshly-mown lawns and the ami able weather make the campus seem like spring term ? If Eugene doesn't settle down to it's proper autumnal fogs and rains scon the student body will become more confused than usual, and that would be pretty bad. really! social as it rolls into its first week of desserts, church night, President's reception, and the an nual bunion derby. Incidentally, we all hope that the fellows will leave their dirty cords at home. Even the new faded-blue fresh man pants will rate higher with the girls. Friday evening Eugene churches will entertain students, both old and new, according to campus social chairman, Mary Bently. The faculty will be received by President and Mrs. Erb at the President’s annual reception to night in Gerlinger. In the receiv ing line with them will be Chan cellor and Mrs. Frederick M. Hunter, Dr. and Mrs. Burt Brown Barker, and Dr. Earl M. Pallett. Heads of Houses will serve for the formal occasion. Saturday eve coeds will tape their saddles for the inevitable bunion derby and greet the lads for 15-minute rounds of swing, jive, and that California walk, from 8 to 12. Freshmen are nothing but an xious for they've been told it's something they'll never forget. Last night nine houses enter tained at exchange dances from 6:30 to 7:15. The new schedule meant no food, longer study pe riod but quite a good substitute for the former dessert. (The ice cream was usually melted any way!.
