fJ-'HE Gamma Alpha Chi fashion
dance appears as the big event
for this week-end.
Besides serving as a harbinger
of spring, at which the modes of
the season will be modeled after
the established tradition, the dance
will also be a Co-Ed’s Revenge
since all inviting will be done by
the women. Campus males this
week can do no more than stand
around and look coy, while the
gals take the aggressive and keep
them worried.
Fifteen mannequins will model
the latest spring apparel, ranging
all the way from sports wear to
formals.

“CROSS COUNTRY CRUISE”
As fast and a3 exciting as “It
Happened One Night”
| Speakers Tell of
Woman's Relation
To Surroundings
Mrs. Van fconn Says Few Women
Can Combine Home, Career
Successfully
It happened that the speakers
at both of yesterday afternoon's
round tables, held under the A. W.
S. “vocational conference, consid
ered women in relation to the com
munity.
Mrs. W. L. Van Loan, Eugene
Girl Scout commissioner, speaking
on “Woman in the Home and Com
munity,” dealt with the voluntary
participation in community service
during leisure time; while Mrs.
Dorothy McKee Fudge, supervisor
of Portland playgrounds, although
her speech was on “Vocational
Training and Its Application to
the Field of Recreation,” spoke
largely of the value and service
| of recreational work to the com
munity.
It is only a superior woman who
can combine a position and a ca
reer with marriage, said Mrs. W.
L. VanLoan, who, herself, she ad
mitted, at one time attempted to
combine the two. The attention
which must be given to the home
and career is so great that most
women must make one of the two
secondary, stated the Girl Scout
commissioner, adding (and this
was addressed to a particular
girl), “And I hope, for your sake,
that you will make the career sec
ond.”
Mrs. Van Loan sat comfortably
in front of the audience as she
talked, most of the time discussing
problems and answering questions,
rather than actually giving a
speech. “Every woman must have
a plan of living,” she emphasized
several times. In this way she
can divide her time so that she
can fulfil her home duties and
have leisure time to devote to work
in the community.
Mrs. Van Loan recommended
some branch of community service
work as an outlet of energy for
women who are not actively busy
at home, as well as for the spare
time even of women who are just
making a home. The broader out
look which interests outside the
home give a woman, according to
Mrs. Van Loan, enable her to be
a better helpmate and inspiration
to her husband, and a more un
derstanding and intelligent mother,
thus making the woman even bet
ter qualified for the three jobs of
the married woman—housekeeper,
wife, and mother.
Mrs. Dorothy McKee Fudge,
speaking after Mrs. Van Loan,
considered the practical aspects
and problems of the woman who
takes as a vocation the field of
recreational work in the commu
nity.
With actual experience as a
background, Mrs. Fudge discussed
possible positions in recreational
work, and the programs which are
carried on in community houses
and playgrounds, which furnish
one of the greatest possibilities in
the field. Mrs. Fudge enumerated
the activities which are found on
recreational programs, and the
training necessary for teaching or
supervising these activities.
"It is absolutely essential that
you cater to the popular demand
of the general public,” stated
Mrs. Fudge in speaking of the ac
tivities and programs carried on
by recreational workers. She dis
cussed the problems in certain ac
tivities, and how they have been
met in her experience.
A girl who wishes to enter the
recreational field should have a
complete academic background,
according to Mrs. Fudge, who
went on to tell the requirements
of different positions, and the
methods and requirements in ap
plying for them.
Clark Notified of
New Appointment
R. C. Clark, head of the history
department, was recently notified
of his appointment to the editorial
board of the Frontier and Mid
land, a quarterly magazine pub
lished at the University of Mon
tana and edited by Prof. H. G.
Merriam, head of the English de
partment of that institution and
formerly of the faculty of Reed
college in Portland.
The publication gives space to
articles and documents relating to
the Pacific Northwest, and Pro
fessor Clark has been offered the
position because of his writing
and research in this field.
Of the Frontier and Midland
Harry Hansen, writing in the
New York World-Telegram, says:
“Among the magazines that have
recently reached me. Frontier and
Midland stacks up the best."
Considerable fiction is contained
in the magazine besides the his
torical section which 0Clark will
help to prepare.

A Drink Is Legal,
But When a Dog
Quaffs, lt9s News
The business administration of
the University does not keep a
record of stray dogs, their age,
class, or how long they have at
tended the University ,but it is
known that they are learning
something. Yesterday a few stu
dents were watching two dogs
trying to drink from the fountain
in front of the main library.
The feat was accomplished by
the smaller of the two German po
lice dogs, after the larger one had
forced him from a drinking hole
back of the fountain. After cir
cling the fountain several times
and trying out different positions,
he finally learned that if he stood
on his hind feet with his side to
the fountain and allowed his shoul
der to lean against the bowl, he
could lick the water as it spouted
out.
Some observers said the dog
had learned this feat by watching
students drink at the fountain,
while others maintained that he
knew the water was there and, be
ing thirsty, learned through a trial
and error process how to get it.
i Last term a similar feat was
performed by a dog that was run
over by a passing automobile and
| brought to, the dispensary.

Senior Honorary
To Give Campus
Formal April 28
Kwamas for New Year Formally
Pledged at .Mortar
Board Ball
One of the most important
events of the spring term social
calendar, the Mortar Board hall,
is scheduled for April 28. It is
sponsored by Mortar Board, sen
ior women's honorary. This year
it will be held at the Osburn ho
tel and the price will be one dollar
a couple. Since it is sponsored by
a women's honorary, it is an oc
casion when women invite and call
for the men.
Three purposes are served by
the Mortar Board ball: it is the
honorary’s largest project by
which money for service work is
obtained; it is the occasion chosen
as appropriate for formally pledg
ing the new members of Kwama,
sophomore women's service honor
ary; and it is the time tuxes and
formal gowns appear for an all
campus formal spring term.
The money gained from the bkll
will be used this term for small
scholarships to be presented to
girls working their way through
college. A part of the returns will
also finance the tea to be held in
the near future for junior women
and faculty wives.
The formal pledging of Kwamas
follows the secret election of the
new members by the old. The
identity of the new members y?
not revealed until the night of the
dance, when they are tapped by
the old members and parade
through the ball room. After the
parade, the pledge ribbons are
pinned on each new Kwama by
Dean Hazel P. Schwering.
Entrance in Pingpong
Meet Declared Open

event.
Men’s living organizations wish
ing to compete for the trophy now
held ,by Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
should phone their entries to the
Y hut, Roberts said. No definite
date has as yet been set for the
competition.
INCONSISTENCY
(Editorial)
By~C. J. L.
No truer saying than "Wo
j man, thy name is inconsisten
! cy," could be applied to the
[ turnout of women at the A.W.S.
vocational conferences Wednes
day and Thursday. It was a
startling incongruity to see how
few women attended these
meetings in comparison to the
number who vouch they will
surely have a “career" or get
a job after they graduate.
As a canon is to a popgun,
so is three-fourths of the wo
men’s ostensible determination
to make something of them
selves, compared to what they
really accomplish. We are not
disparaging the “little house to
keep,” but only showing up
that group of coeds who say
they are “careering” and don’t
mean it.
The splendid chance to get
the “low down” on the way
successful women feel about
the world and their jobs was of
fered by the women's associa
tion here, with the results men
tioned. May we apologize to
the speakers who gave their
time to enlighten the Oregon
coeds and found themselves
talking to a scanty group?
Josephine Waffle

president of heads of houses at a

dent, took charge of the business

Miss Sherman Receives M. A.
Miss Dorothy Sherman of Port
land recently successfully passed
her final examinations for her
M.A. degree in history, writing her
thesis on the subject, “The His
tory of the Lumber Industry in
Oregon.” She returned to her
home at the end of the winter
term.

[Department Head
Speaks to Group
On Creating Jobs
Miss Cooley Says Graduates Musi
Have Enthusiasm Above
Academic Training
“No longer can a college grad
uate say that she is 'looking' fen
a job. and very often do it," de
clared Miss Vivian Cooley, head of
Meier and Frank's book depart
ment, Portland, when she spoke
on “Modern Trends in Business"
at the Wednesday evening session
of the A. W. S. vocational confer
ence. “Today a college graduate
must create a place for himself
or herself in the business world.”
“It is not so much what you
know, but what you do with what
you know, that is important in
finding a job," emphasized Miss
Cooley. As some of the requisites
of a person who succeeds in the
business world, she stresses creat
ive genius, creative ability, and
the desire to serve, which, she
stated, is the foundation of life
and living. Enthusiasm was
ranked by Miss Cooley above aca
demic training; however, the ideal
situation is to have a sufficient
amount of both. "But one must
have enthusiasm in business," she
declared, “whether it be in selling
flowers, or coffins.”
Miss Cooley also pointed out the
importance of knowing exactly
what one was doing, and urged
the coeds to beware of the appli
cant for a job who claims he can
do everything. “Usually such peo
ple do nothing well,” she added.
Two books were recommended
by her for prospective job seek
ers. “Finding a Job,” by Roger
Babson, and "Careers for Women,”
by Catherine Pilene. Both of these
may be obtained at the campus li
brary.

gene Stomberg compose the com
mittee.

All the latest notes that fashion
has named foremost for spring
.modes will be shown tomorrow
evening at the Gamma Alpha Chi
fashion dance, according to inter
views with Eugene merchants
who are contributing displays for
the style parade, which will be
featured at the intermission, near
10:30.
Stylists have ordained that
femininity be an outstanding fac
tor in the linos of the new gowns,
so the 15 coed mannequins who
will exhibit the costumes will be
the essence of womanliness.
Pleating, according to the out
standing Paris and Hollywood de
signers should be shown some
where on every dress, no matter
what its type. To fit in with this
theory, two particular gowns will
be shown. One is a hand embroid
ered eveni" f/'Tk of sheer white
organdy. The contrasting colors,
carried out by the handwork, are
red, blue, and yellow. The low
back ami shoulders are banded by
pleated ruffs. The dress is shown
by McMorran and Washburne.
Densmore-Beonard will feature
another dress that fits in well with
the latest style notes. It is a
white sand crepe afternoon dress
with drop sleeve effect. A sapphire
blue belt and pleats on the sleeves,
hem, and pockets make it quite
unusual. To complete the costume
the model will wear one of the
popular new large brimmed hats.
From Beard's comes a light
weight wool angora three-piece
sport suit. It is one of the exclus
ive Hollywood style dresses, and
is carried out in the unusual, but
effective, color scheme of fall col
ors yellow .green,, and rust.
The essence of simplicity and so
phistication is the Town Talk
washable formal depicted in Vogue
and offered by Barnhart’s. It is a
blue and white striped toe-length
frock, complete with train and
pleats.
A unique feature of the style
show will be the floral display and
personal adornments. The most
popular spring flowers will be
made inLo corsages, bracelets, and
tierras to suit the costume. These
are being arranged by the College
Flower shop.
