It’s This Way By Marge Petsch The campus has taken on a dis tinctly unpleasant odor since poli tics has again reared its ugly head. Aside from the odor, the place is really much more pleasant—so many people speaking to each oth er who previously breezed by with heads in air. Lovers of the election season we hear have been compos ing a new song to be sung to the tune of "Maryland, My Maryland.” Only the first line runs, "Oh. poli tics. Sweet Politics, etc.” What with mid-terms settling down on us to add to the festive spirit, we have been trying to pick up a few effective words in Bo hemian to throw in at appropriate moments. Thus far, the only ex pression we have absolutely mas tered is “bud ticho,” only there is a hook beside the “d” that we can't include here. Thus far "bud ticho” has been all that's really necessary. (Meaning to be given later.) * * * Spring has taken a terrific toll this year in the way of young loves. The whole campus is just rampant with them. When you start to think of them there are so many you hate to count them. But there’s the recent episode of pin planting on Chi O Gertrude Wat son by Charlie Barr, Sigma Nu, that bears mentioning. Other in teresting “beautiful friendships” have been blossoming between Ken Miller, Chi Psi and Alpha Phi Bar bara Williams, Pat Sherrard, Kap pa, and Ronald Rew, ATO, and Rex Cooper and Helen Ann Davis. By the way, "bud ticho” means “shut up” in good, old Bohemian. Very appropriate in this instance, we think! * & * G. Yale Bikman honored the women’s page with an explanation of his' poem, "To the Ladies,” in cidentally. The letter can be found on the editorial page. We’re not awfully sure that we’re converted yet, although far be it from us to be stubborn. Anyway, we are ready to wish G. Yale. God speed in his march toward that day of lucrative poetry writing. Miss Helen Dimmick, dean of wo men at. the San Jose state college in California, made some interest ing observations in a recent issue of the student daily. Dean Dimiek claims that a very small minority of the girls with whom she has come in contact during her seven years as a dean of women have presented problems from a non cooperative or disobedient stand point. She holds that extra-curri cular activities are a highly bene ficial thing in the life of a college woman. We often wonder which category Dean Dimmick included us in on those many chats we once had in her office. * * S: Our last admonition: Don’t be too sorry if your female candidate loses in today’s election. There’s always the Junior Queen elections, you know. Gerber to Speak On Military Drill Serril Gerber, field secretary for the American Student Union, will address a student forum today at 4 o’clock in the AWS room of Ger linger hall. Gerber is covering the nation in the interests of the Union’s peace program for stu dents. He is expected to discuss the non-compulsory military init iative now under way in Oregon. He will also explain campus peace activity which the Student Union endorses. The meeting is open to all students. Charles Pad dock, president of the local ASU chapter, last night urged all stu dents interested in Gerber’s topic to attend. Eight Houses to Entertain With Spring Dances this Weekend Charming Peggy Chessman Plans Newspaper Career After Fine College Record By HENRIETTE HORAK One day, last summer, Oregon's coed Peggy Chessman made state news; for four days she was to rule as queen of the Astoria re gatta. For 96 hours prominent Peggy was the royal darling of the festivities and had the place of honor at boat races, banquets, and halls. The University campus was pleased, but not surprised, for Peggy, with her numerous activi ties here, had kept the student daily writers busy since her fresh man year. The campus was not entirely new to Peggy when she honored the University with her registra tion. She had been a leading light in high school press conferences, and attended several sessions on the campus while she was editor of the Astoria high school paper and year book. Grows Up With Paper To Peggy, a journalism major newspaper work is second nature —in fact, she almost grew up with the Astorian Budget, edited by her father, thee well-known Merle Chessman. She was on speaking terms with linotypes, presses, and newspaper lingo when barely out of the cradle! After graduation, June 1, Peggy will return to the Astorian Bud get and sit behind the woman editor's desk. One glance at Peg gy’s plans convinces us that the Budget is in line for a woman’s page with plenty of “whizz”—one of Peggy's pet word gems. College Activities Varied Some of her numerous college UO, OSC Choirs To Give ‘Requiem’ Verdi Mass Set for Friday, May 1 at Music School; Petri to Direct The combined choruses of the University of Oregon and Oregon State College will present Verdi’s “Requiem Mass” Friday evening, May 1, in the auditorium of the school of music, Dean John J. Landsbury announced today. The choruses are directed by Paul Petri, professor of voice. Robert McKnight, bass; Mrs. Jo sephine Albert Spaulding, contral to; Mrs. J. L. Murdock, soprano; and Charles Fahey, tenor, will sing the solo parts with a background of more than 250 voices. Robert Goold will be organist. Both Mr. McKnight and Mrs. Spaulding are former students of the University school of music. All soloists are outstanding musicians and have had much experience in the past. Professor Petri has been rehears ing the choruses for several months. The “Requk a Mass,” one of Vedi’s most colorful and harmon ious works, is doubly significant. It will be presented at the first of National Music week, and its ar rangement denotes peace. Its sev en parts are Requiem and Kyrie; Dies Irae (Day of Anger); Domine Desu, (Oh, Lord God); Sanctus, (Holy); Agnus Dei, (Lamb of God); Lus Aeterna, (Light Eter nal) ; and Libera Me (Lord, Deliver My Soul).

One of Peggy's distinct claims to the campus hall of fame is her expert knowledge of the annuai “Love and Marriage” lecture se ries. She has beeen in charge oi the enlightening chats for four years now, and feels that she’s n veteran. Some of Peggy’s friends are talking about a bonus for her services! Peggy made it clear that she is just a normal girl—doesn't collect stamps, cracked teacups, nor auto graphs. In fact she feels a bit dev ilish when she takes out her be loved knitting needles!

If you are you have a decided edge over your more sophisticated sister this summer. Clothes for garden, for sports, for country, and for campus will show that spirit of careless aban don that linen and cotton give. At the same time they will be so crisp and fresh that any one might think your nurse had just laundered them. Flannel, too. sails to favor with flying colors. Short box coats in gray flannel are ideal to put on over anything. Fink and yellow woolen sweaters and mannishly business-like shirts are ideal. Men’s sweat shirts are growing in popu larity for that moment when you want to feel truly rural. Divided skirts and slacks are for those who want lots of comfort. If you dislike hats, the stitched gingham visors were made for you. For tennis short, circular skirts are the latest, and they make ten nis fun, too. It is a little early to find these clothes on the campus yet, (and a little cool, did I hear you say?) But, never fear, worshippers of tho cult of comfort are legion, and they will be blossoming forth.
