It’s This Way By Marge Petseh By MARGE PETSCH Capering womanhood on the Ore gon campus will have its fling nex Wednesday night, we read by th papers. We trust that the senio cops, who will attempt to ward of male invasion, escape without blac; eyes and what not. Last year the women had a higl old time, until they suddenly real ized that everyone had forgottej the skylights in Gerlinger hal! Practically half the males on th campus had accommodations oi the roof, and it was strange hov the gal's actions changed whei they discovered they had an audi ence. Eleanor Roosevelt is taking quit) a beating about her column whicl is running in newspapers through out the country. TIME thinks sh< is doing a rather good piece o: work, considering the fact that sh< was asked to tell the little intimate tid-bits of White House existence Naturally under those condition: she couldn’t very well go philo sophical or introspective; she could of course, but it wouldn't be verj safe for her to expose the terrific table manners of Senator Whozii or Ambassador Nonothing’s bac taste in ties. Two young Japanese girls have returned to their country after si> months spent in Denmark learning Danish gymnastics. They have displayed their mastery of the gymnastics with such success ir Japan that many schools of that country are planning to inculcate like requirements in their course of study soon. It certainly seems s whole lot more beneficial thar spending twenty minutes three times a week in batting balls around aimlessly and with practi cally no enthsiasm. Our vote for the Female Hal^ of Fame this week goes to Mrs. In eko Kubokawa, Japan’s foremost writer on slum life. At nine years of age Mrs. Kubokakwa was mak ing match boxes for her helpless father, and in her early teens found work as a night waitress in an itinerant cafeteria. Among diners at the cafeteria there happened to be some of the Japanese highlights in the field of letters. These celebrities recognized Mrs. Kubokawa’s abilities, recommended her name to publishers. Her first book was “A Bag of Cakes.” A handsome woman, she spends part of her time in jail for “dangerous thinking,” wins the hearts of her jailers. She has an invalid hus band, has produced numerous man uscripts, and two children. Popular Alpha Phi Tells Engagement; No Definite Date Set The engagement of Miss Mary Banks, cx-’37, and Jack Granger, also ex-’37, was announced recent ly at the Alpha Phi and Theta Chi houses.

For Upperclassmen Gamma Alpha Chi Plans Spring Dance Alpha Delta Pi upperclassmen were feted by their underclassmen at a dinner Wednesday. The event was given at the Green Parrot Palms.

Wills Moody in a tennis 1 match on Berkeley, California, courts before half the film colony 1 and other notables. Something of a Bobby Jones' ! shadow has patterned Muriel’s life. 1 She was an only child and from birth was brought up under a phy 1 sician’s care because of exception ally poor health. Her slight figure is still not that of a tennis cham ! pion, although she holds the Ore 1 gon state title. In her last year at Llewellyn : grade school in Portland, Muriel was introduced to King tennis. She took to the game immediately. De lighted, her father brought home books, bought her a racket and balls and Muriel proceeded to clean up Portland tennis tournaments like a kitten laps up milk. She taught herself the game except for two lessons from Howard Kinsey, one-time doubles champion of the United States. “I played my first match in a dub park tournament and won it,” says Muriel. ‘‘My first tournament, the Portland junior girls’ center tournament played at Irvington tennis club, I lost.” Champion Muriel went to Cali fornia and competed in junior and women’s tournaments when she was 15. She also played in Tacoma and Seattle. At Tacoma she was runner-up in the Pacific Northwest Junior championship. She held the girls’ championship at Grant high school for three years, the girls’ city championship for five years, and' the women’s city championship three years. “Although she was half an hour late, the greatest event of my' life was playing Helen Wills,” Muriel smiled. “I drew her name for my first match in the Berkeley tourna (Please turn to page four) Jones’ Song To Be Played By Scott Held “I Worship, Adore You, My Dear,” catchy dance tune which has caught the fancy of many peo ple who have heard it, will be feat ured when Scott Held’s orchestra performs at Willamette park to morrow evening. The song was written by versatile Helen Jones, Tri Delt of this campus. Scott Held’s band is well known to many students here from its ap pearances at Jantzen beach in Portland last summer. The aggre gation of youthful melody-makers started their career in Santa Cruz, California, several $ears ago, where they played at the Casa del Rey, large beach hotel. Since that time they have had numerous successful engagements, and have appeared most frequent ly in college towns. For the past few months the band has been playing to large crowds at the Tri anon in Seattle. Following their one-night engagement in Eugene, they will begin a new contract in southern California.
