I A-Maying |
I.___t
Spring seems to be giving some
of Oregon’s most loving couples
wanderlust, or at least some bud
ding romances seem to have a
“late May” this year. The engage
ment of Virginia Wellington and
Bob Morris is off, as well as re
ports from Portland that Gloria
Lane, foimer student, has announ
ced a second engagement.
Baseball widows are numerous
in the Theta house. When the team
departed for their week’s trip, sev
eral of the girls shed bitter tears.
Jane Lagasse and Chuck French
no longer are inseparable, but she
still has a pin tucked away safely
in her dresser drawer.
Mary Janet Higgins, Kappa, re
turned a Sigma Chi fraternity pin.
and it is rumored that John Lewis
(“Leslie Love,” to his fraternity
brothers) is afraid of a ride in a
mattress in the direction of the
“pink palace.”
Eleanor Norhlad will not find
much comfort in her fraternity
jewelry since the donor, Erwin
Carey, has left school.
Recipient of a Theta Chi sweet
heart pin is Chi Omega Kay Tay
lor (Bob Lee’s). The only com
ment Kay would make was “X
think it's nice, too.”
Frankness personified were re
marks made by Clare Peterson
to Harriet Sarazin. He told her
that she had learned three things
in her two years on the campus—
how to wear a formal, how to ar
range her hair becomingly, and a
new and better system of “polish
ing apples.”
Dick Kriesien worries that
nothing exciting ever happens to
him. Not so with John Belding,
who has been appearing about the
campus with a bandaged face.
! Strawberry
Fete May 26
The date for the WAA straw
berry festival which is held an
nually on the faculty tennis courts
and whi"h specializes in selling
lucious strawberry sundaes for ten
cents, is Wednesday, May 26.
Campus clothes and no-dates are
the custom at this all-campus
dance.
Jeanne Aronson is general chair
man for the affair.
He’s a Star—But His Own Bellboy
If Jean Hersholt, movie star, ran up to enjoy San Franciseo tran
quility while Hollywood seethed with strike talk, he made an unfortu
nate choice. For shortly after his arrival 3500 employees of 15 leading
San Francisco hotels walked out, completely tying up every kind of
service for 5500 guests. And Hersholt is shown carrying his own
baggage as well as walking up and down several stories.
Some rat, he claimed, pulled the
sidewalk right from under him.
Dick Reum is still wondering
whether there was a baby in the
baby carriage he accidentally ( ?)
pushed into the mill-race. . The
funniest caricature seems to be
Laddie Gale’s. The Phi Delt house
has been swamped with guests whc
want to see that “funny picture.”
Spring or something really gets
the opposite sex romance-consci
ous. Witness the many telegrams,
telephone calls Myra Hulser, Al
pha Chi flash, receives from a
Boise newspaper man. . . Or the
persistance of a Phi Psi in pursu
ing Cheryl Ahrens.
Ivan Clark, Fiji, is nervously
expecting a telephone call from the
dean of women’s office.

Homemade Television
Students at the California Institute of Technology are in the midst
of a home-made television fad that is sweeping the campus just as
“crystal sets” did when radio was in its infancy. Above are two stu
dents demonstrating their outfit.
Miss Ruth Dorris
Gives 50-Year-Old
Piano to University
The lounge of the music school
will soon be adorned with a quaint
old square piano more than 50
years old, beautifully finished and
in excellent playing condition.
The piano will be placed in the
lounge as a gift to the school by
its owner, Miss Ruth Dorris, now
working in New York, in memory
of her father Benjamin F. Dorris,
who was one of the first regents
in the University.
The piano will be placed there
both for use and as a lovely addi
tion to the lounge. Dean John J.
Landsbury of the music school
stated that he regarded the gift
as significant because “so many
times an individual who has a
valuable gift, feels that he must
give it to a private school, and
that state schools must be entirely
supported by taxes. The school of
music is deeply appreciative of
this gift.”
Museum Librarians
To Leave for East
Mrs. Gertrude Warner, art min
seum director, and Mrs. Mabel
Garner, museum of art cataloguer,
left Thursday on their annual trip
East. Mrs. Garner will return to
Eugene the latter part of June,
but Mrs. Warner will spend the
summer on the Atlantic coast.
While in Massachusetts Mrs.
Warner will visit her son Sam Bass
Warner who is professor of law at
Harvard university.
NUPTIAL ANNOUNCED
Kamil’a Klehar, ’34, has an
nounced her marriage to Erwin
Blanckenourg which took place
March 4 in San Francisco. Mrs.
Blanckenburg is a member of
Delta Zeta sorority.
