At any rate it ap pears so, that is what turned up lately at the lost and found de partment at the University depot. The article under discussion is a worn but shiny silver dollar soldered to a piece of thin wire, which has been twisted into a bracelet shape. Owners are asked to form a line outside the post office door. Take Your Pick Also lying snugly inside a drawer in the “inner sanctum” of the physical plant is a glasses case with instructions inside to return to Miss Buckland. She lives in Great Falls. Great Falls is in Montana. Of incidental in terest to some weed-fiend might be the blue flowered metal cig aret case there. Just turned in is a black Par ker fountain pen belonging to Ju lia Glasby. A stranger by the name of Jacobson called the de pot, according to Mr. A1 Tyson, mailing clerk, and reported find ing a watch near the gym. He can be reached by phoning 1051. Reporter Loses Wandering among the piles of unclaimed items, we found a ban dana and a pair of loud mittens we’d lost while wandering about the plant wondering how people could be so stupid as to go around losing things. Sigma Xi Bills Neurology Talk Dr. D. W. Bronk, professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, will speak on "The Physical Structure and Biological Action of Nerve Cells" at the winter term Sigma Xi lecture Wednesday, February 34, at 8 p.m. in Chapman hall. Fundamental problems of ner vous tissue control of an organ ism, including both chemical and physical problems, will be dealt with in the lecture. Some consid eration will be given to the modi fication cf the nervous reaction because of alteration of the en vironment and also the influence of the action of one nerve cell upon an adjoining nerve muscle or gland cell.

Night Thief Raids (Continued front page one) ably occurred between 2 and 5 that morning. Several members are now with out ERC and draft registration cards because of the loss. Wallets belonging to Eugene Fulop, Dick Cohen, and Harry Glickman were stolen, and the watch of another member taken. Nearly everyone lost cash. The exatft sum of stolen money has not yet been ascertained. Earlier Burglaries The thief is believed by police and members to be a marauder who is responsible for the series of burglaries of fraternities which occurred last term and the first of winter term. Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Nu were robbed late last year. The Chi Psis were burglarized February 5 of this year, losing a total of around $200.

Men Becoming Mice By JULES MAITLAND Women are coming into their realm of total glory mighty fast these days—in fact much faster than most men care to admit. The pitiful story of the decline of the “male age” reads like a revised edition of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” Step by step, slowly but deathly sure, women began their campaign in the early 1890’s to obliterate man as a governing factor Oregon Emerald Night Staff: A1 Howard, night editor Bill Buell City Desk: Ross Yates, city editor Louise Montag Marjorie Young Jules Maitland Jon Snillib UO Registrations Suffer Decrease Final registration reports for the winter term were revealed here this week by Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter of the state system of higher education. The University of Oregon has a 15 per cent fall in registration this term. Next was Oregon State with a 12 per cent drop, ^he University of Oregon medi cal school registered a 4.8 per cent loss. Colleges of education were also hit, but not to such an extent. Total enrollments for the en tire state system show approxi mately 7000 students registered, according to Dr. Hunter. This is a 15 per cent drop in a year. “The enrollment figures were generally higher than expected and are encouraging,” Dr. Hunter said. “Because of the uncertain ties, no predictions can be made concerning the spring term reg istration.

'King Arthur' Will Open (Continued from facie one) great a genius that he has noth ing to fear but an ignorant ill judging audience.” Dryden dedicated the work to King Charles II. The only real opera which Pur cell composed, according to our modern standards, was “Dido and Aeneas,” published in 1675. "King Arthur,” because of its in completeness, has never enjoyed the popularity awarded to the former work. in civilized life—until today, look at him. He can’t even go to war in his own heroic manner with out the Mrs. or the girl friend tagging along — or might now properly say—“he tagjp™ along.” Carrie Nation The tragic tale begins in 1917, when women first conceived (and determined to carry out) the idqa of wanting to run more things besides the kitchen. So along comes Carrie Nation with a one woman blitz against liquor and drinking in general. Scenes of pathetic chaos ensued as women invaded the sanctity of the local bar-rooms and proceeded in un ladylike manners to eject the de fenseless men from the “refresh ment parlors”—telling them on the way out to “go home where they belonged.” That equalled Hitler's beer hall putsch, because it, too, spelt the eventual down fall of a ruling class titled “man.” Since the days of Carrie Na tion, man has all but lost ^ , "pants” —r- and he is losing them fast. Women have equalled in every field the deeds of men. They have made history in poli tics, aviation, seamanship, me chanics, and everything else im aginable, but the home. Women Adopt War Up to this day the male had one profession that women could not enter and call their own, the art of war. But was that dream to last ? No. Look around you to day and you will find your pa thetic answer. Newspapers, radio, movies, and the Emerald all seem to carry nothing but stories of women in the WAAC, WAVES, SPARS, WAAF and, according to the Portland Oregonian, someone has suggested calling the womer^fci the factories the WICs. TlSPb you have the reason for this piece. Why couldn't man be left alone with his one last glory ? Re member how brother or dad could come home and show off the new soldier or sailor uniform and have sister or mom go ga-ga over it ? What’s happening to day ? Take two guesses. Yes, sis, the gal friends and even mom are coming home with natty uni forms of khaki, blue or green to tell the boys of their adventures in boot camp and how soon they intend to go across and fight the enemy. Gramps ’n’ Gran’nias One can venture a peek into the future and see little children gathered around their grandma’s knees while she tells of her £x perienees as a WAAC at the tie of such and such. Meanwhile grand'pop, who used to be the king in the story-telling field, sits idly by grumbling in his beard about those bold females. Note: The author writes this article with no malice against fair womanhood, in fact he gives them all credit for their work— for without that certain Miss— ivhere would the so-called ‘stronger sex” be.
