Gamma Alpha Chi
Dance to Feature
Fashion Parade
Many Eligible Males Still UnasUed;
Get Your Man Early and
Avoid the Rush
According to latest tabulations,
there yet remain 832 eligible male
students to be invited to the Gam
ma Alpha Chi fashion dance,
scheduled for this Saturday eve
ning at the Kokonut Grove. This
dance is the first one to be given
this year to which the women in
vite the men, hence the abundance
of men students still awaiting to
attend.
Rumor has it that no small
number of the yet uninvited men
will be asked, but that the women
students are taking this oppor
tunity to use on the men the dat
ing tactics heretofore and all oth
er times used by the male sex ex
clusively.
The size of the Grove has neces
sitated the restriction of attend
ance at the dance, so it has been
planned to admit only 300 couples.
Tickets on sale in the women's
living organizations were practi
cally sold out within five minutes

New AWS President Active
In University and YWCA
By HENRIETTE HORAK
Iintroducing Miss Catherine Cole
man, new president of the asso
ciated women students! Madam
president is a junior and a sociol
ogy major. She received the news
of her election with joy, and ex
pressed herself as being happy to
have been the choice and winner
at yesterday's polls.
“I will try to live up to the
honor and responsibility the girls
have placed upon me jn electing
me to the office,” she stated in
an interview yesterday.
Miss Coleman has been active in
activities of the associated stu
dents, and has served on many
committees and directorates. She
, came to the University from Uni
versity high school in Eugene,
where she took a prominent part
in activities, was president of the
girls’ league, and awarded the
girls’ league cup for being the
most outstanding woman in the
school.
At^ the University she has been
active in Y. W. work, and promi
nent in the affairs of the Ton
queds. She is a member of Phi
Theta Upsilon, the A. W. S. cabi
net, participated in the arrange
ments for Dad's day, hot cross bun
sales, the waffle luncheon, the
Wedding Belles pageant, Coed Ca
pers, the A. W. S. masked ball,
several doughnut sales, and will
be in charge of registration for
Mother’s day this year.
Miss Coleman is a charming
“petite" miss, and when inter
viewed late yesterday looked im
maculate and the very essence of
spring in a white* sports outfit.
She has brown hair and eyes, is
not tall, but then we are reminded,
neither was Napoleon tall, nor
Caesar, and not* even Alexander
the Great!
She is a confirmed Oregonian,
and likes the country even in spite
of the excessive rain—but then,
Miss Coleman likes to swim!
After graduation she plans to go
into social work, and would like
to enter the field of juvenile de
linquency, but if she cannot get
into that field, Miss Coleman de
clared she would take any job of
fered.
She was born in Eugene, and
feels very much at home at the
University, since both her parents
are graduates, and now proud
alumni.

Thirty-nine students yesterday
paid their $5 A.S.U.O. fees as the
organized drive for student mem
bership definitely got underway
on the campus. Figures from the
business office showed that 25 of
the new members took advantage
of the installment pledge blank
provided them, while the remain
ing 14 paid cash.
As the campaign made its first
advance, Tom Tongue, student
body president, reorganized the
A.S.U.O. forces in an effort to
handle the situation from all an
gles. The first student commit
tee working in conjunction with
the graduate manager's office in
launching the campaign was di
vided into two separate groups,
one to conduct the drive for mem
bership and the other to super
vise the detailed checking necessi
tated by the wide scope of activi
ties involved.
The campaign committee is com
posed of Malcolm Bauer, chair
man, Joe Renner, Ralph Schomp,
Roberta Moody, and Bob Miller.
The other group, whose work it
will be to draw a line of distinc
tion between members and non
members and to regulate the dis
criminations involved, will be
headed by Bill Russell. Aiding
Russell will be Marygolde Hardi
son, Don Thomas, Don Thompson,
and A dele Sheehy.
Despite extended articles of ex
planation in the Emerald, student
leaders report that many of those
who are non-members are still un
aware of the significance of mem
bership. To aid in clearing up this
uncertainty the student speaker's
committee tomorrow will talk be
fore the various living organiza
tions, explaining the privileges of
membership and the proci\> in
volved in gaining such member
ship.

Complaints on Failure
To Receive Emeralds
May Be Fixed on Igloo
Many students who have paid
their A. S. U. O. fees are com
plaining because they are not
receiving their Emeralds at the
living organizations. This com
plaint may be remedied by call
ing the Emerald business office
at McArthur court, where the
error will be corrected.
This situation is due mainly
to late registration, but will be
remedied by Saturday noon, the
last day for registration. Stu
dents not receiving their papers
may obtain them by presenting
their student body ticket at the
Co-op until further arrange
ments have been made.
A few student body members
have failed to come for their
Emeralds at the Co-op, where
they are distributed from 7:45
until 10 a. m.
Bovard Presents
Plan for Complete
Control by Faculty
Idea Offered to Committee Named
By C. V. Boyer to Suggest
Possible Solutions
Dean John F. Bovard of the
school of physical education last
night presented a plan for the
complete reorganization of student
activities which would wipe out
the A. S. TJ. O. as now consti
tuted and end student government
'as hitherto maintained on the
University campus.
The proposal was submitted to
a committee of 11 persons named
by President C. V. Boyer to con
sider possible suggestions for re
alignment of student activities in
order to solve the legal difficulties
facing the student association fol
lowing the attorney general’s re
cent opinion on student fees.
The Bovard plan calls for the
placing of financial and adminis
trative supervision for each stu
dent activity under the University
school or department whode work
it most closely parallels; for in
stance, operation of football, bas
ketball, track and other athletic
functions would be included under
the direction of the department
of physical education. The Em
erald and Oregana would be placed
under control of the dean of the
school of journalism; debate would
be handled by the department of
English; band, orchestra, concerts
schedule, and so forth, would be
administered by the dean of the
school of music.
Over all, Dean Bovard suggest
ed, would be placed a "student fee
commission," composed of repre
sentatives of the faculty, business
office and students, which would
allocate funds from student fees
among the various activities. The
dean of each department would be
assisted in the administration of
his special extra-curricular activ
ity by an "advisory board,” com
posed of faculty members, repre
sentatives of the University alum
ni, and students.
Dean BoVard’s plan, presented
in some detail, aroused a storm
of discussion and controversy, and
called forth half a dozen other
proposals from the group in at
tendance.

Will Get Relief
Work for Term
Projects Assigned for
Present Month
NOTICES TO BE SENT
Departments Requested to Hold
Back Until Definite Word
Is Given to Proceed
Work for 196 University stu
dents until the end of the spring
term was assured yesterday in a
letter sent President C. V. Boyer
by Rimer R. Goudy, executive sec
retary of the state relief commit
tee.
Goudy's communication reads:
“Provision has been made to pay
the wages of part-time college
students from the regular relief
funds allocated to the state of
Oregon by the federal emergency
relief administration.
“Your quota of students as here
tofore determined shall be pro
vided part-time jobs until the end
of school in accordance with fed
eral emergency relief administra
tion instructions previously for
warded to you.
Funds Available
“Funds to meet part-time stu
dent payrolls for the months of
February and March are now
available and wiil be forwarded to
your office without delay.”
Commenting on Goudy’s letter,
Earl M. Pallett, University execu
tive secretary and registrar, said:
“In view of this authorization,
the University committee on fed
eral relief for students met for
the purpose of assigning students
to projects for the month of April.
In making assignments for the
month of April, precedence was
given to students who had pre
viously been promised work dur
ing this month. If these students
were eligible to continue on the
list, and if no other circumstances
made it inadvisable to assign work
to them, they were assigned the
same number of hours on the same
projects as they had been as
signed previously.
Notices to Be Sent
“Notices will be sent as soon as
possible to the students to whom
work has been assigned, and copies
of these notices will be sent to
the faculty members having
charge of the projects. The com
mittee will continue to assign stu
dents to projects until the quota
of 196 students for the month of
April has been reached.
“No definite assignments are be
ing made for May or June because
the committee feels it is inadvis
able to make assignments at this
time with the possibility that they
might be canceled. At the end of
this month, if the work has not
been cancelled, letters will be sent
to students assigning work for the
month of May."
Pallett requested that depart
ments are not to start students
to work immediately, until they
have received definite notice when
to proceed.
Discussions at Round Table
Held in Vocational Meeting
Business in the United States!
will take second place to the other
occupations of life, such as knowl
edge and the enjoyment of cul
ture, according to Miss Vivian
Cooley, head of Meier & Frank's
book department, who gave the
first general address of the A. W.
S. vocational conference yesterday
evening on “Modern Trends and
Needs in Business Today."
“Believe it or not, we’re not go
ing to have the big salaries and
big wages we used to have.”
America, said Miss Cooley, is go
ing to have more leisure time, and
will concentrate less on continual
money-making and more on edu
cation and culture. “The govern
ment, under the new deal,” Miss'
Cooley stated, “has gone into the
business of education. . . . We’re
just learning how to live."
In considering the opportunities
for women in business, Miss Coo
ley said that any woman can get
a job if she has a foundation and
can create and make a place for
herself. “Everyone has the abil
ity to do some one thing well,”
she stated, saying that it is up to
every girl to find her own place.
The desire to serve is highly im
portant in finding and holding a
job, according to Miss Cooley, who
emphasized several times the
statement, “It's not what you
know but what you do with what
you know." Enthusiasm and in
terest are paramount to the
knowledge and education which
compose the foundation for suc
cess.
In the afternoon previous to
Miss Cooley's speech, three round
table discussions, on different
fields of work, were led by guest
speakers prominent in these fields.
Miss Frankie Coykendall, head of
media and research departments
at Botsford, Constantine, and
Gardner, spoke on “Women in Ad
vertising and Journalism”; Miss
Brownell Frazier, head of the de
partment of design at the Univer
sity, spoke on "Women in Art”;
and Mrs. Alice Howard, dean of
girls and mathematics teacher at
Klamath Fails union high school,
spoke on “Women in Education.”
Each of the three afternoon
speakers emphasized the oppor
tunities for women in the three
fields of work discussed, consider
ing necessary training, qualifica
