Kuximas Will Pledqe 19 Girls at Mortar Board Ball Saturdau Jayne Boucermain Will Enter Government Training School After Graduation This Year By CLARE IOOE To have a job and a Phi Beta Kappa k-y presented to you within a few days of each other is something which would make any senior sigh that "life just isn't like that." But sometimes it is, and Jayne Bowerman, senior in social science, has just that experience. Jayne, a transfer from Scripps at the beginning of her junior year, has been named to an “interneship” at a school for training in gov ernment service in Washington, I). sponsored by the National In stitute of Public Affairs, an or ganization made up of leading col lege professors and men prominent in government affair:;. They select a limited number of students for special education" in government affairs with the view of training them for executive positions. Government Work Goal At the end of a year’s period of training, the students take a civil service exam, and ultimately go into government work, according to where their interest lies. Jayne especially wants to go into the gov ernment personnel field. Jayne is tremendously thrilled about the opportunity. When she discovered that she had been se lected —one of the four women women named on the Pacific coast, and one of the ten women from thy entire United States she came bounding down the steps of the Theta house, her campus home, shouting, "I got it! I got it!" Whereupon she and her sorority sisters promptly went out to cele brate the occasion properly over a coke. The next morning she received notification that she hod been awarded a scholarship at the Sim mons School of Social Work in Bos ton. Bet Jayne decided to enter the other school instead, for she felt her interests lay more in that direction. Another Honor A few days afterward, she got word that she had been elected to that highest of University hon ors Phi Beta Kappa. For besides being lovely enough to rule as prin cess of Junior weekend last year, Jayne receives grades that are nothing short of amazing a re markable and rare combination. She will be graduated front the University this spring, after spend ing two years here.

Broadway handicap of being a transfer from another University and that right in the middle of her college career, she has made an outstanding rec ord at Oregon. Her home is in Portland. Thinks Oregon Friendly Jayne thinks everything said about thr friendliness of Oregon is very true. "When I entered here,” she re marked, "I was afraid that T should ft el out of everything, but in about a term I felt that 1 be longed hete.” She said that she was particular ly impressed with the friendly spirit at Oregon after having vis ited some of the California cam puses, where the students tend to separate into small groups. Jayne believes that an interest in study should be the main part of a student's life, for after all, she feels, that is what they are here for. However, she stressed the fart that these should not dom inate to the exclusion of every thing else, and that the social and active side cf University life should not be ignored, for these, she feels, arc the closest connection with the life outside of the University. Notices Contrast When she entered the Univer sity of Oregon after the quieter, more studious life at Scripps, she noticed the increased emphasis placed on social activity here. Jayne thinks that this is a good thing, however, for both sides are here- study and activity and it is up to the individual to choose his course, including both. Jayne’s favorite mode of relax ation from studying is horseback riding. She related sadly that she had a horse here last year, Juneau by name, but that Juneau had most inconsiderably gone in for raising a family, whereupon her upkeep became too expensive. She also likes dancing, swimming, and other sports. "Just a normal, healthy girl," she grinned. Lovely and gracious, Jayne Is a model of everything contained In the expression, “all-around" girl. Charm, intelligence, beauty, ambi tion, a sense of humor all com bine to make Jayne a girl who would be outstanding anywhere. MISS HUBERTS WINNER Helen M.

It is a tailor-made and yet femi nine street dress of black wool lace. The skirt is shown over hlack and the upper part of the same black is lace made over white pique peeping out at all borders. The little hat is a tiny skull cap and sheer mesh veil is draped over it and continues around and down—showing what I’aris is doing with veils this season. People We’ee Seen The Girl Who Cramnicd for Exams Eleven weeks out of every term she was just an ordinary, normal, healthy, happy, every-day coed, going about her business with com plete calm and self-possession, taking college life as it came, and as it went. On the twelfth week she became a creature berserk, dashing madly about the campus, hair flying, clothes looking slightly slept-in. a wild gleam in her eye. ‘‘I've been up half the night," she’d pant hysterically as she gulped an parly morning cup ot conec in the Side. Half seated on a stool with one foot planted firmly on I tie floor in preparation for a rapid take-off. "I drank gallons of black coffee last night, and I just had to fight to keep awake.” And then she'd rush off in a panic-stricken whirl, muttering something about "eight o’clock exam,” and ‘‘going to flunk the cock-eyed thing.” She was that way all examina tion week. A haunted creature, a miserable imitation of her usual happy self. "Can't eat,” she’d moan, "can't sleep. Never worked so hard in my life." Everybody felt terribly sorry for her. She always looked so har ried, so unhappy. "It's the only way T can ever get through school," she’d insist unhappily. "No matter how hard I study during the term, if I don’t cram all night before the final I'll flunk the course.” And so she ran the house's elec tric light bill up anil developed arctic circles under her twinkling blue eyes. She lost sleep. She lost pounds. She lost friends. And all because she had that mania for last-minute cramming. One week she'd be as sweet and carefree as a bouncing babe, and the next she'd carry the weight of the universe on her shoulders and look like Me thuselah's older sister. So she went on her miserable way, each examination week leav ing a little less of the joyful child who met life with a song and add ing more of the weary woman, ex perience - saddened, until came spring term of her junior year when once again the dreary shad ow of coming examinations fell across her happy path. This time she was definitely in up to her ears, and the midnight season promised to be long and wearying. "I don't know what I'm going to do." the harried girl wailed to her sympathetic sisters. "Exam inations all day; study all night. Oh woe is me! Oh woe is me!” Every night for a week she stayed up into the wee small hours, cramming knowledge down her in tellectual hatch, and dashing wild ly to class the next morning to dish it out again on a little white piece of paper, leaving her own sweet mind in the same state of untouched innocence that it was the day before her energetic study ing began. And so, after three days had passed successfully, and she hail waded through four examinations with gnat effort, discomfort, and gallons of black coffee, she at last arrived at the night before her last final was scheduled. The exam promised to be a terrific one, and she quaked with terror at the thought of tomorrow's ordeal. "An eight o'clock exam,” she mourned miserably, while her friends sat around in silence of ab ject sympathy. "An eight o’clock exam, and only one night to read two text-books in." After dinner that evening she scurried to the library and wolfed out the books she wanted, taking them home to the quiet recesses of her room under penalty of fine and perhaps expulsion. There she settled down to while away the hours with a big thick text-book in one hand and a nice cup of mud-black coffee in the other. It was desperately hard to keep awake. She concentrated fiercely, focussing her eyes upon the print ed page with the force of every nerve and muscle in her body. Her eyes burned, her head ached. As she studied she counted the tick ing of her watch and mentally fig ured the seconds of grace she had before the fateful eight o'clock hour in the morning. Midnight came. Then one o'clock, and two, and three. The pages be fore her began to dwindle, and those behind to pile up encourag ingly. At last four o'clock in the morning she closed her book and her weary eyes, and settled down to catch some few winks of sleep before the alarm clock clamored for her awakening. Some time later she reached down to shut off the noisy clock, Dances Close Sprint) Tennis Social Enents Using the theme of “Bad Taste," Phi Kappa Psi will hold their spring dance Friday night at Lne chapter house.

Slowly she climbed out of bed and took a leisurely shower. Then /’he dressed and made her way hap pily up onto the campus. The sun was warm and bright, she was ready for her examination, all was right with the world. Joyfully she greeted people whom she hardly knew. Then ahead she saw the girl who sat next to her in the class for which she'd worked so hard the night before. Going up to her exam no doubt. She whistled and hastened to catch up. The girl looked terribly down cast. “What's the matter?” she asked cheerfully, and the girl groaned. "The matter? Do you mean to tell me," the girl asked incredu lously, ‘ that you lived through that eight o'clock exam, and can still ask 'what's the matter’?” Horror stricken our little friend glanced at her watch, and then she realized . . . Sleep-blinded she must have set her alarm clock for nine instead of seven. She'd slept through that eight o'clock exam!
