    ACTIVE SERVICE IRKS
V.W.C.A, SCHORL TEAR
Group Assists in Bringing
Speakers to Campus
By Dorothy Blyberg
The work of the Y. W. C. A. dur
ing the closing school year has been
characterized by a definite contri
bution to the women of the campus
through religious, educational, so
cial and industrial fields.
The religious program has been
varied. Through the members of
the church inter-denominational
team representing seven denomina
tions, guests of the Y. W. C. A. in
the fall, steps were taken to unite
the students, the faculty and the
churches in a study of campus prob
lems. The series of lectures on com
parative religions and the Fred B.
Smith lectures were also brought
about by the cooperation of the Y.
W. C. A. with the Y. M. C. A.
The World Fellowship discussion
groups, conducted on the campus
for the first time this year, under
the general direction of Ellen Mc
Clellan, made a good beginning to
ward stimulating interest in study.
Assistance was rendered to the
new women students in the fall by
meeting trains, giving get-together
meeting trains, giving get-acquaint
ed parties and making the Bunga
low a home to every woman on the
campus.
The freshman commission, an or
ganization for freshman women has
. ^irifMkhdt possible to present and as
' sist m fldhving problems puzzling to
first year students.
The annual state Y. W. C. A. cab
inet council, representing six col
leges and universities in the state,
was an event of May 1, 2 and 3 to
which the local members were host
esses. Among the national secre
taries present were Miss Elsie Hel
ler, national secretary of the north
west field and Miss Harriet Thom
son, chairman of the friendly rela
tions committee. Another national
secretary who was a guest of the
campus during the winter term was
Miss Brace Louies, who trained in
terested students in conducting dis
cussion groups.
Senior Breakfast, at which time
the Y. W. 0. A. members are host
esses as the final social function of
the organization of the school year,
occurs Saturday morning. The Sea
beck conference, taking place at
Seabeck, Washington. .Tune 23-July
3. is being anticipated as a pleasant
conclusion to a year of worthwhile
service and active enjoyment.
ELOISE BUCK GIVEN
JUNIOR WOMAN CUP

lms been very active in work in the
Y. W. 0. A. When a freshman she
was active as n committee worker.
In her sophomore year she had
charsre of membership education
work under the membership chair
man. This year she handled the
financial part of the Y. W. C. A.
work as chairman of finance. In
connection with this, she organized
a finance campaign which was very
successful and she has followed up
this drive well. For the next year
Miss Buck will be on Y ,W. C. A.
council at chairman in charge of
meetings. At present she is in com
plete charge of the senior breakfast
given by the Y. W. C. A. in honor
of the senior women on the campus.
This past year Miss Buck worked
on one of the committees for the
Women’s League convention held
here in April. She also took an
active part in the style show given
by Women’s League at the time of
the high school conference on the
campus. Next year she will be on
Women’s League executive council
as president of heads of houses.
Activities Are Many
Besides her other activities Miss
Buck has been president of the
French club, Le Foyer Francais.
She has also taken part in the
doughnut athletic games sponsored
by women’s Athletic Association.
She is an officer in the literary
society, Futaxian.
Miss Buck was recently elected
to Mortar Board, senior woman's
national honorary fraternity.

MEN DURING LEAP WEEK
(Continued +rom page one)
dogs and coffee, and the Brawl by
good music, lots of senior men and
balloons.
The feature of Thursday evening
was the Alpha Phi-Chi Omega
grille dance at the Alpha Phi house,
which was distinctly the most dig
nified occasion of the week. The
decoratons were Bohemian in char
acter. with low vari colored lights.
Senior men poured most charmingly
at the Kappa Koffee. the affair of
Fridav afternoon. The receiving
line was made up of several most
hospitable dummies, except the last
member, who startled the guests
into shrieks by exxteuding a cordial
human hand from under a Santa
Claus costume.
The carefree days of bar rooms
with sawdust covered floors were
revived at the Bar Boom Bust given
at Hendricks hall on Friday night
and sponsored by Hendricks hall,
Susan Campbell hall and Thacher
cottage. Every imaginable color
and costume was there on every
imaginable senior, and great was
the noise and shrieking, number
less the balloons, and interminable
the lines of people waiting for
“pops.” The Hendricks garage
contained many peculiar looking
vehicles, among them go-carts,
wheelbarrows and buggies of the
vintage of hoop skirt days.
The final event of the week was
the skating party, given at the
Winter Garden Saturday afternoon.
Dancing for those who still could
dance, was also in order. At six
o ’clock that evening the struggle
ceased and the bedraggled remnants
of the senior men went home to
write in their jimmy books, or their
letters home or maybe registered
only in their memory, “Senior Leap
Week-—1925, a great time,” yawn
groan, and smile. The senior girls
once more put away their audacious
ways and Tesumed the role of
shrinking violets, though some were'
to be noticed violently clapping at
dance for some weeks afterwards.
WOMEN COPS EJECT
MEN FROM FROLIC
(Continued from page one)
other big affairs of the year. Little
red devils broke through the back
pages of the book and were follow
ed by the Scandal Sheet.
Prizes and honorable mention
were given for the best character
izations and costumes, which varied
from a Knight Templar to Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Pinn.
Hilda Chase, senior cop for the
evening, succeeded in creating a
stir when she ejected two men who
had been successful in getting past
the doorkeepers.
“Words can’t express my feelings
that I experienced while I was
there,” was the statement made by
one of the men who escaped a
paddling. “While we saw only the
finish of one act and the beginning
of a second one, I was ready to go
when I was asked to leave. Be
cause I knew that I would be
paddled, T ran miles per hour down
the stairs without ever once think
ing of getting the cape which I
wore to the Frolic.”
His companion, who was discov
ered at the same time, was not able
to make as fast a get-away: so he
was forced upon the stage where he
received an enthusiastic paddling
administered by the women cops,
and then ushered out of the build
ing.
The judges, attired in special cos
tumes for the event, added a touch
of gaiety to the scene. Mrs. Vir
ginia Judy Esterly, dean of women,
and Mrs. George Rebec were strik
ing men in their full dress suits.
Miss Gertrude Talbot, Mjlss Vic
toria Avakian, and Mrs. Eric W.
Allen, wearing scarfs, willow plumes
and similar accessories popular dur
ing another generation, were the
belles of the affair.
A five piece orchestra furnished
the music for dancing between the
stunts, and refreshments were sold
to the dancers during the evening.
WOMEN WRITERS ARE
ENTHUSIASTIC CRITICS
Differing from other honoraries
on the campus is Pot and Quill,
women’s writing organization,
which was started with the aim of
encouraging and stimulating work
along literary lines. It is the only
organization that maintains that
idea, working for a definite purpose
and toward a definite goal.
At the meetings, which are held
every two weeks, the vSork of each
member is read and then discussed
and criticized in a constructive
manner by the other members, so
that the corrections made are bene
ficial to the author. This work con
sists of short stories, novels,
sketches, plays, essays and poetry,
and ranges from the humorous to
that of the serious type.
Maurice Hyde Was Last Man
To Undertake Task
By Margaret Vincent
There are not many positions
among the student body offices en
tailing more work, real work, than
that undertaken by the editor of
the Oregana. The general supposi
tion is that men can work best; but
the idea loses ground in the face
of the argument that no man has
edited the University of Oregon
year book since 1916—nine Ore
ganas ago. Perhaps the first wom
an editor after Maurice Hyde, the
last man editor, had extra work to
do to show that her sex was cap
able; she succeeded, for no men
have occupied the editorial chair
since 1916. Emma Wootten follow
ed Hyde in 1917; then Helen Bren
ton was elected. She was succeed
ed by Adelaide Lake in 1919 and
Helen Manning, 1920. Editors since
then are: Wanna McKinney, ’21;
Inez King, ’22; Velma Parnham,
’23; Freda Goodrich, ’24; and Au
gusta DeWitt, 25. Betty Cady has
already stepped into the editor’s
room with plans under way for the
1926 Oregana.
The Oregana has gone through a
growth in proportion to that of the
University as a whole. Each book
has shown new features, new im
provements, new ideas.
Augusta DeWitt’s book was dis
tributed on the campus May 19.
More copies were distributed than
ever before and the beauty of the
book ranks it as one of the best
memory books ever published here.
Gray-green book paper, with illus
trations in blue, green and orange
was used as section heads. A note
of blue was carried throughout the
year book.
Betty Cady, who was on the staff
of the recent Oregana, has already
appointed several members on her
staff. She expects to double the
size of “Campus Events section.”
“That section is of most interest
to students,” she said, “and I am
going to have snapshots from every
event of the year to put in it.”

SUCCESSFUL SEASON

inations. She is one of the few wo
men in the United States who have
done so.
Volleyball is Gaining
Volleyball, made a do#ghnut ac
tivity this year, is coming to the
fore. A rising interest in that ac
tivity has characterized the 1924
sports season. Twenty teams out of
a possible twenty-four turned out.
Tt is a new sport for women and
has none of the traditional evils of
the older sports. Competitive horse
back riding and discus throwing
are two new events on the Field
Day program this year.
A greater choice of sports in gym
nasium work is another character
istic of this year. A classifica
tion test given in the fall for the
first time, groups women according
to general physical skill.
Among outstanding Oregon wo
men athletes for the year are: Mar
garet Pepoon, Nellie Johns, Grace
Sullivan, Mildred Crain, Wanda
Plincz, Rliona Williams, Maude
Schroeder, Florence') Baker, IGolda
Boone, Nellie Best, Myrtle Mast,
Mildred Onslow, Charlotte LaTour
rette, Alta Knips and Janet Wood.

turesque. One young woman makes
spending money by shining shoes
and brushing and oiling boots.

BEARD’S
ASSOCIATED WOMEN
END SUCCESSFUL YEAR
(Continued from, page one)
jWas created out of the money in
; tended for use by the foreign stu
dent which the Women’s League
is instrumental in bringing to the
campus each year, but since all
qualifications could not be met this
year, the foreign scholarship fund
on hand was turned to -the other
purpose.
Tear is Eventful
Many affairs have been given
during the year to raise money for
this year’s foreign scholar. Among
these are the Christmas College
Ball, at the Multnomah Hotel in
Portland, an Ellison and White
! road show, at the Heilig Theater in
Eugene, and several “dime crawls.”
Proceeds from these different af
fairs netted much more than those
of previous years, and the fund is
larger now than ever before.
One of the most individual events
at Oregon is the April Frolic, an
evening exclusively for women.
Every other year, half of the wom
en’s houses on the campus present
acts for the benefit of the other
half. Prizes are given for the best
act, and the best individual cos
tume on the floor.
With -the installation of new of
ficers which took place last night,
this year’s regime passes out to let
the new members carry on the work
so well started. Some standing
committee chairmen whom Anna De
Witt, new president, has already
appointed are, scholarship, Dorothy
Myers; Woman’s building, Delia
activities will be spread among
is, and big sister, Catherine Ulrich.
The “Big Sister” movement will
probably be stressed more than any
other project next year. Hereto
fore, all that has been done in this
line is to have two sponsor-sponsee
teas during the year, but during
the summer a system similar to
that in effect at the University of
California is to be worked out by j
Catherine Ulrich, chairman. Cap
tains are to be appointed the lat
ter part of this term, and during
vacation, a list of the coming
freshman women will be made, and
plans completed to adjust them to
the University as soon as possible.

ANNE DEAR:
Examinations, commencement,
and vacation—all three are
crowding upon us before we
realize that spring term has
more than begun. Won’t it be
glorious to be at home once
again, and do nothing but swim,
play tennis, dance and all of the
other things which I adore?

events and a graduate’s friends

The loveliest gift is
a lasting one. At
Skeie’s one can find
a splendid selection of
just this type of gift.
Charming bits of jew
eiry silver pieces, sucn as aresser
sets, lovely beads and numerous
other things which would delight
the heart of any girl are to be
found at this store. The only
trouble is that one can hardly
decide which is the prettiest.
I do wish that you could see
the gorgeous bouquet of gardenia
which Bud had sent out from
Kaup’s Flower Shop yesterday.
These rare flowers, which were
shipped from Texas, are a form
of tropical flowers. Their white,
wax-like blossoms against their
glistening olive-green leaves
warrant their title of “treasure
of the south.” Their sweet odor
is considered even more pleasing
than that of the orange blossom.

me quite strenuously and I do
want to look attractive.
I’m going down to Hasting
Sisters, where I get the best
marcels I ever had. At Hast
ings, the profile and hair cut of
each* girl is studied to decide
how loose or how tight the wave
should be. That, coupled with
the excellent manicures they
give there, is what makes their
shop so popular. The oil mani

has improved the appearance of
my hands immeasurably .
M-m-m-m. We had the most
delicious salads at a party up the
race last night. When we asked
the boys if their cook prepaieu
the food, they candidly remarked
that they had purchased both
the fruit and the vegetable sal
ads at Underwood and Elliott4 s
Grocery, as well as a jar of the
Gold Medal salad dressing. Be
cause the salads come in cans
they are so convenient to take
on picnics, and the flavor of
them is ideal. We had some
cheese wafers and butter thin
crackers, which were bought at
the same store, besides a lot of
other goodies.
Well, old dear, write and tell
me all about your plans for vaca
tion; perhaps, we can carry out
our proposed trip to Glacier. As
the school year is nearly over,
I shall be unable to write any
more this term; but we can make
up for lost time when I do get
home. CAROL.
