’Lost’Items
List Dollar
As Jewelry
Prosperity has really turned the
corner when the citizenry start
wearing good American currency
for jewelry. 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.
Biological consequences of the
changes in the nervous system
induced by the demands of mod
ern warfare will also be dis
cussed.
The lecture is under the joint
auspices of the Sigma Xi society
and the University lecture com
mittee. The public is invited to
attend.

Future Travels
Because of the impossibility of
Pacific travel during the war,
Dr. Jones will spend the dura

This summer he will assist in
holding four American Christian
conferences in California, North
Carolina, Wisconsin and New

While the missionary is in Eu

Night Thief Raids

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.

Lady, if you must write verse
Do it on the sly,
Make a secret of your curse,
Here's the reason why—
If you print a song or two,
As sure as fate is grim.
Every man you ever knew
Will think you write of him.

Who Wears the Pants?
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

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.

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.
