She was recent ly elected to the vice-presidency of her house and has just been chosen as Alpha Phi’s delegate to the na tional convention of the sorority, to be held in Chicago in June. “I’m especially happy about the trip east,” she explained, “because I'll have a chance to visit friends in Minnesota I haven’t seen since we left there four years ago to come to Oregon. But this . . . ” Words failed her for a moment. “. . . people are so nice to me.” “I just love the canoe fete," she added. “But I hope they have robes for the queen and her attend ants so'we won’t freeze. Everyone has been asking me how well I can swim! Not very well, I imagine, in those long costumes.” The conversation turned to the Junior Prom and the Grand March. (Continued on rage Four) Oregon’sDean | Talks at Last AWS Session Mrs. Schwering Speaks On Corvallis Campus — Banquet Last Night Closes Eighth Meet of Deans Ami Presidents Hazel P. Schwering, dean of wo men, was one of the speakers at the Friday sessions of the Western Conference of Deans of Women and Presidents of A. W. S., which was held in Corvallis April 20-22. Dean Schwering gave a report of the na tional convention of deans of wo men held in Washington, D. C. The meetings for the last day of the conference stressed the eco nomic implications and the aca demic implication of the general topic of “Changing Attitudes To ward, and Challenging Standards for Women.” Professor A. Grace Johnson of Oregon State college gave the address on the former subject, and Mrs. Winnifred S. Haggart of the University of Washington, spoke on the latter. Ends With Banquet The convention, which was the eighth biennial session for the deans, ended last evening with a formal banquet and dance for which the Associated Women Stu dents of O. S. C. acted as hostess. Dean Schwering, Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean; and Lou ise Webber, Jean Failing, Betty Anne Macduff, Nancy Suomela, and Muriel Kolster, representa tives of the A. W. S. returned to Corvallis Thursday evening after entertaining the conference dele gates here on Thursday. A luncheon was held at Hen dricks hall for all the delegates, who represented colleges and uni versities west of the state of Mis souri. Mrs. Mary Love Collins, grand president of Chi Omega, ad dressed the group on “The Campus —Maturity in Miniature.’’ Conklin Speaks Dr. Edmund S. Conklin of the psychology department spoke to the dean’s section at 2:30. The A. W. S. presidents heard Dr. John H. Mueller, of the sociology depart ment, on “Women in the Soviet Society.’’ The guests were taken on a tour of the campus and were present at a tea given by the local Associated Women Students in Gerlinger hall. Fair Sex Played No Part in Time Of Shakespeare What would the famous Will Shakespeare see, if he were given a trip to earth today as a present for his 368th birthday ? He would see eight Oregon co eds rehearsing parts for his “Ham let.” And would he be shocked ? Plenty! In his day, you see, way back in the good old sixteenth century, it wasn’t considered “the thing” for the fairer sex to take to the stage as a career. Consequently, the ^renowned English playwright was compelled to cast boys in the heroine roles. However, modernizing the origi nal “Hamlet” a bit, Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, director of the Shake spearean production, which will be presented to the campus April 29 and 30, has put women players in *he cast. Even the most unique role in the play, that of a boy actor who por trays the part of a woman in the “play within a play,” will be taken by a feminine player. Louise Mar vin is to enact the difficult char acterization of the Player Queen. Marian Camp as Ophelia, and Inez Simons as Queen Gertrude, will play opposite Gene Love, who is Hamlet. Louise Webbe^ is por traying the role of a gentlewoman. Others in the supporting cast are: Ann Powell, Beth Hurst, Bet ty Buffington, and Dorothy Esch. Mrs. Seybolt, in making a com parison of the original and modern production, expressed a desire to sometime "play ‘Hamlet’ with men characters for the ‘play within a play', a3 Shakespeare did in his day.” Since there were so few women parts in the tragedy, she deemed it unwise to attempt it at this time.

(Incidentally, Hamby took Potter with him.) Should the intrepid Roustabout explorer be unable to find what he wants in Africa, a new contingent may be organized to invade Corvallis. Hamby and Potter went alone, except for 20 faithful attendants. They will send reports to the Roustabout headquarters every day, via greased wire, the slickest in the world. Should the wire be too slip pery, they will send the dispatches via pony express. With the expedition once out of the way, Mr. Henry Heyden, B.V.D., settled down to the task of arranging the political machine. With the help of a second-class mechanic in Stanley Kostka, he announced the following as the l cylinders of the Roustabout raa 1 chine: Leighton Gee, Dick Neuberger, Duke Shaneman, Slug Palmer, Red Rogers, Slick Jackson, Thorn ton Gale, Mahr Reymers, Hend ricks Hall, Jack Dant, Choppie Paak, Red Rottenburg, Coop Cup poletti, Bernie Hughes, Butch Morse, Bobby Robinson.

Rare Opportunities Confront Modern Girl, Says Mrs. Hall By HAZLE CORRIGAN “The modern co-ed is having very rare opportunities because there is no field that is not open to her,” Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall, wife of the University president, said in her pleasant way in com paring today’s co-ed with the girl of 20 years ago. The girl of today Mrs. Hall de scribed as much more sophisticated than the girl of any generation before. She finds the modern girl well - enough - poised and well - enough-informed to meet modern conditions and feels that the test of success is whether she is able to meet life and life s problems and to do it in an intelligent and well-poised way. The wife of a university presi dent leads a lonely life, according to Mrs. Hall. “The very position makes it impossible to have any close friends for their sakes as well as your own because people always misinterpret these friend ships.” "But let me tell you some of the pleasant angles about being the wife of the University presi dent," Mrs. Hall continued. “You meet many desirable people and (Continued on rage Four)
