Elaine Cornish Successfully
Combines Many Activities
And High Scholastic Record
By CLARE IGOE
A wide field of interests and an excellent record in each one—this
is the achievement of Elaine Cornish, who will be graduated this spring
from the business administration school.
Elaine has not only been outstanding in activities since she was a
freshman, but she has made a remarkable scholastic record as well
and, she adds, has managed to have a great deal of fun besides.
“Mv first two years I sandwiched in my activities between my
studying," she remarked, “but now
I find that I sandwich in my study
ing between activities.”
Activities Varied
Elaine is a Phi Beta Kappa, a
member of Senior Six, Mortar
Board, senior women’s service hon
orary, and was president of the
YWCA this year.
In addition, she is also a mem
ber of Beta Gamma Sigma, schol
astic business honorary, and Phi
Chi Theta, business administration
honorary. She served as AWS ser
geant-at-arms, and was a member
of the AWS council during 1930.
Elaine was a member of Kwama,
sophomore women’s service honor
ary, and was a representative from
here to the YW conference in In
diana.
YW Her Interest
She is intensely interested in
YW work, and remarks that it has
been the activity that has meant
the most to her during her Uni
versity career.
"Any girl is foolish to go into
activities that do not mean any
thing to her,” Miss Cornish remark
ed. “They are worth while only if
she is very interested in them. To
go out for things just because of
house pressure, or for any reason
like that, is a waste of time.”
Serving this year as president
of YW, Elaine has attempted to
put into practice some of the ideas
she has had regarding this type of
activity. She has attempted to do
away with groups purely for dis
cussion, and make these groups
more active.
Made Changes
She resurrected the sophomore
and freshman commissions, and
now enthusiastically exclaims that
the YW has the best group of un
derclass girl workers on the
campus.
New groups added to the YW
activities for this year were those
in social eticpiette, which will be
come the '‘life" group for girls
who work in private homeand
whose social life is limited, and a
group to receive knitting instruc
tion.
Elaine’s chief aim has been to
improve the degree of fellowship
among the girls she has worked
with.
"The one thing I think is import
ant,” Elaine commented, "is the
feeling of fellowship, and the culti
vation of a wide acquaintance on
the campus. Everyone should know
and speak to people they meet at
the University.”
After graduation, Elaine plans

to attend the school of retailing
at the New York university. There
the students attend classes in
mornings anti evenings, and spend
the afternoons and Saturdays
working in stores, thus getting not
only instruction, but practical ex
perience.
Her ambition is to become a
merchandising manager, or a per
sonnel manager, or perhaps, she
adds, a buyer.
After completion of her course
there, she may either come back
here or continue working in the
past.
Asked despairingly how she ever
found time to keep up with so
many activities, and still be a reg
ular inhabitant of the honor roll,
Elaine remarked that she never
had budgeted her time on paper.
Gets Everything Done
"When I get up in the morning,
I always know just what T'm go
ing to get done,” she remarked,
"and 1 always do it, though some
times I can shift around. I have
always liked to study, and I can
work all day on some activity. I
never get tired of doing one thing.
The more you have*to do, the more
you get done,” she added.
Elnine says that as the year
goes along she realizes more and
more how short the time has been
since she entered school, and how
little time there is left.
“I'm getting to be a regular
sentimental senior," she smiled
"and that's bad.”

Models Haue Glamourous
Origin During Empire Period
Ey LILLIAN WARN
When fashion makes her debut to the women of America, it is usually
in the glamour of a style review upon the figure of a mannequin
one of the outstanding careers for young women in America today, and
one with a long and fascinating history behind it.
Mannequins first began in the day of Marie Antoinette as a bisqu’
doll. It was Marie who went to the greatest dressmaker of the day,
Rose Berlin, and had her dress the little figures which she sent back
to her friends in Austria. Those dolls were considered great prizes,
because they were the only way people had of seeing how persons of
another court were gowned.
During the Empire, models took
the form of sawdust figures. No
one dreamed of using a human
figure to portray fashion until a
later period, when a group known
as the “Black Satin Girls” was in
troduced.
No Expression, Makeup
These women, without makeup,
or expression of any manner, were
sheated in a black satin covering
over which they displayed the fab
rics and drapings of their cour
turiers. Patrons could bare their
shoulders when they wore the cre
maintain her virtue.
One day Lady Duff-Gordon, a
ations, but the working girl had to
bored socialite, with pronounced
artistic ability, an active brain, and
nothing to do. entered the picture
to revolutionize the mannequin, and
prove the human model an essen
tial to the introduction of new
fashion ideas.
She became a designer who num
bered among her clientele such
names and personal friends as
Ellen Terry, Lady De Bathe (Lily
Lantry), Margot Asquith, queen of
Spain, the Duchess of Rutland, the
Princess of Wales, and Irene Castle.
Has New Idea
One day she had a vision. If
she could get one such beauty as
Lily Langtry to model her gowns,
she would be able to give the world
something it had never had before,
but to secure a Lily Langtry was
impossible.
However, she reasoned there
were plenty of other girls in Eng
land, and some of them lovely to
look upon. So she set out, quietly,
without publicity or furor, to find
her models.
She picked six, persons whom at
first glance were mere ugly duck
lings with sunken chests and poor
postures, but Lady Duff-Gordon
was a keen woman with sharp in
sight. She recognized the possi
bilities in those maids, and was
ready to lpegin extricating it.
Training Severe
For six months she taught them
to walk, balancing bookc on their
heads, until they could enter a
room with the smooth-flowing air
of duchesses. She realized the
drama of the right entrance. She
taught them to smile, how to
stand, until finally she believed
them ready for her great experi
ment.
All during this training period
she had marshalled them to art
museums and music halls. Never
before or after were models given
such a thorough background course
to make them feel their part.
With soft lights and music, she
began her little coup before a
galaxy of distinguished guests.
There was silence as a tall, lovely
figure in the shape of the day
emerged from the curtain.
She was another Lily! The aud
ience gasped. But when a Lillian
Russel, a Maxine, a Helen of Troy,
a Cleopatra, and a Beatrice D’este
followed in quick succession, it was
not believable, and the distinguish
ed audience burst into an enthus
iastic round of applause.
These first mannequins were an
immediate success. And they were
the first models to wear the ap
propriate accessories with each
costume the right hat. gloves,
shoes, purse, jewels, perfume, and
the first to have their hair dressed
differently for different gowns.
They revolutionized the dress
making industry and became

EASTER broke on the campus, this year, with
a new aim. It seems as though everyone disregarded
the weather conditions that threatened the morning
and donned their newest and smartest. Among those
that looked especially smart Easter were two AL
PHA PHI'S, CARLINE SCOTT and ROMA THEO
BOLD. Both had on three-piece wool suits with
beige fox collars. CARLINE'S was rose color that
she wore over a sheer beige blouse. With this suit
she wore a pale blue off-the-face felt hat and beige
purse and gloves. ROMA'S suit was bright yellow.
Chaudron accessories add the bit of contrast to
the outfit. This includes hat, shoes, and gloves.
NORMA KOLSTAD, DELTA GAMMA, also
chose a suit of rose wool with grey contrast for her
Easter outfit. The two-piece suit has a leather belt
of grey: under the jacket is a pearl grey silk blouse.
A grey felt sailor hat, grey tie oxfords, and grey
gloves and purse make up the complete ensemble.
ruth wollenberg. delta delta del
ta. and MARGARET PAULSON, PI BETA PHI,
chose prints ami silks for their selection. RUTH'S
costume includes a black sheer crepe skirt that is
topped with a new print. The print is repeated in
two bands that circle the bottom of the skirt. Over
the dress she wears a beige coat that boasts of the
new black belt. Black patent-leather sandals, black
straw hat. and black purse are the accessories, be
sides the violet gloves that she wears to bring out
the color of the print of the dress. MARGARET'S
print is a red and white flowered one that is worn
with red patent-leather sandals and purse, a red

straw hat, and black gloves. The dress is trimmed
with a large sash and a cluster of field flowers that
are worn at the neck. Over the dress, Margaret
wears a black redingote coat.
The Eugene stores have a grand variety of
clothes for the coming spring. Formats, dinner
dresses, afternoon dresses, taffetas, prints, shirt
waists, and even sun suits have appeared, saying
nothing of the clever new handkerchiefs, scarfs, and
flowers. You coeds should really plan on picking
up quite a few of these items here for the coming
term. I know that if you just intended to “look”
that you wouldn't be able to resist some of them.
Have you seen the interesting handkerchiefs
that the GIFT SHOP is displaying now? If you
haven't, by all means drop in there and just peek
at them. They are just what you want for your
new dress or sweater. Some of the new handker
chiefs are following the Tyrolean influence.
SALLY McGREW, GAMMA PHI, was shopping
and she discovered that BEARD'S had an unusual
DIRNDL formal that is an interesting study in con
tradictions. The quaint shirred bodice and peasant
skirt are expressed in a very sophisticated print
chiffon' of wool violets splashed with lime green,
canary, and fuschia. Quaint too, are the soft high
ruffles about the throat that are caught v ith a prim
bow of violet velvet, and the shirred puff sleeves on
the separate bolero jacket. . . . Grand for informal
occasions. The slit to the waist in the black of
the formal makes it decollete for very formal occa
sions and gives it an unexpected air of modern
sophistication.
