)r>. consideration of the period of temporary insanity that seems to occur from two to three weeks •previous to final week, I set aside ■' whole day to get things in oidsr before the tag push. My clotb-3 would now pass tlie most careTul inspection both closet and drawers are a work of art. Chapeaux poiseo. upon light-blue hat stands, velveteens and light colored date aresses hidden and protected by slip covers of match ing blue, pert blue bows peek from each shoe indicating the presence ct shoe-trees, this is my closet. My drawers, not to be out done, boast of blue quilted satin boxes of various shapes and sizes in which 1 keep gloves, handker chiefs, jewelry, etc. For my young cousin I bought a set covered with a satin print in which peach is the dominant color; they will make a good Christmas present. For the benefit of all I will not go into the harrowing details de scribing my closet and drawers before they were altered, but you may believe that the improve ment was great. For the trip home I needed something SUTTable, just dressy enough. A fitted gray wool jack et that looks chic under a decor ative lapel pin, and tops a slim skirt of the same material seems to answer the question. The problem of a formal for the holidays may be difficult to solve. First, what type to buy? From all sides, I have received suggestions. Some say to follow the good neighbor policy and go South American with brilliant colors and the other side-of-the border style. Should I take this adv.ce, you will see me whirling around the dance floor in a made to-Iook full-skirted gown of Rio red and gila geld (we don’t pro no; ace the G, even for the sake of euphony). On the other hand, perhaps I’d better consider a black wool-ejrsey.

And since this is the last issue of the woman’s page for this term perhaps there is some thing we ought to decide. We, women students, shall have to decide that the girls’ seminary” doesn’t happen here. Think what those words we joke about really mean. Cer tainly they are drab, plain words, they indicate a narrow view, a frustrated outlook. We think of them in the same way we think of rainy days, and long, dull lectures, of plain clothes. Certainly they say little of gaycty, of the color we have taken for granted in college life. If we decide against this attitude, what can we do to make the decision something real and important? Then, more than ever, we must make every day a courageous thing. Make it happy for ourselves and the people we know. And we must try to believe that our war work, and the very fact we are studying, is something useful, and a part of the scheme of things. Now if ever in our lives, is a chance to test our resilience, our courage in every day, uninspired ways of living. Per haps, in the next few years, we will not be wearing our pretty clothes with quite the dash we used to delight in, but our lipsticks can be as bright, and we can have that bright cloak of the spirit; gallantry.—M. K. M. that really appeals; it goes along these lines: long sleeves, low neck, long torso, high back, long and narrow skirt (with a slit dead center that measures almost ten inches from the floor. What would be ideal is a three or four-piece job that can be turned into a date dress with the change of a skirt, and then be come still different by interchang ing jackets. I had better take nfyself to the Side in order to ponder further this complicated situation. It will take peace and quiet and time. In a quandary, Gerry Stowell Coed Gets Free Trip Harriet Kempstan, freshman in business administration, will leave Thursday for Chicago to attend the national 4H congress. Miss Kempstan won county, state, and Northwest regional honors in keeping farm accounts in competition with other 4H members throughout this area, As a result of these victories she has been given a free trip to the national congress at Chicago. Miss Kempstan said she in tends to return about Decem ber 7. RooJzA, jhonie Social Scene Oregon society had its face lifted last night when a legal holiday prompted a midweek dance in.an otherwise closed and uneventful period. Bewildered freshmen were amazed by the closed weekend set-up and gen erally regard it as no particular pleasure. Juniors are a bit indif ferent by now and seniors—well, they would like to graduate. Saturday eve is the only 12:15 permission, of the weekend— same for next weekend, but from then on in it's a different story. Skiing, skating, dancing and col legiate congregations at popular spots at home and students will see members of the old guard who returned all the way from Notre Dame to Stanford; Pensa cola to Fort Lewis to join the holiday reunion, but after that date a new social calendar. Louis K. Manley, formerly dean of the University of Pitts burgh school of business admin istration, has been named dean of the graduate school at the University of Miami.

Remember Texas, last Saturday, and the Saturday before that! Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Remember Coed Capers! (broad baring of bicuspids.) Now that is a horse, or something, of a different color. Significant or otherwise, the extremely profit ale Capers cleared almost three (3) times as much nice, clean lu cre as last year. . . . AWS is in mourning over the passing of one Rohda Hark son, treasurer, over whom we, and countless others, could write col umns of superlative superlatives. “Rohdy” left school Monday. Marge Curtis, of the Phi Thetas, president of said organization to be exact ... is capably taking her place till next term. S. sis ter (evident plug) sorrowful “Peewee” Ross, instead of tear her hair over Rohda’s departure, cut her brief, three-inch “pin feather” cut to an even shorter one and one-half inches, and is now debating whether or not to join the WAVES. . . .
