She made no attempt to open any of the somewhat formidable stack of books she pushed in be tween us when she sat. Instead she leaned back with a great sigh and closed her eyes. “The poor girl,” I thought. “An obvious case of overwork. Just studied herself to death!” And my ire arose as I contemplated the ■cruelty of college professors who were undoubtedly responsible for this sad case of human suffering sitting next to me. My indignant reverie was inter rupted by the arrival of another young lady, this one a red-head who heralded her coming with a Joud stage-whispered, “Wake up, toots. You didn’t jcome here for a rest cure.” The blonde half opened one eye and squinted up at the new arriv al. “G way,” she groaned, and then she settled herself back into the warm curve of the davenport again and sighed once more . . . the sigh of one who is about to 'enter the arms of Morpheus. “G’way,” she muttered once more. “I jus’ gotta get some sleep. M’mother was down for Junior week-end and she nearly ran the legs off me. She went home look ing fresh as a daisy, but me . . . j’st look at me.” With that she closed her eyes with an air of finality. The red head looked down on her sympathetically for a moment. Then she turned to me. “Bringing up parents is a plen ^mmuuiiiiiiuumiiiiiuiMiimuiiimuiumiuuaimuummuimuimmuuimiiiuiiHiim^ CALIFORNIA | COTTONS | as seen iii Vogue i Bring You Summer | Informality | | The froliesome vacation j « ^ . 5= I mood.

Changing the idea a bit one finds boots or any other kind of foot wear to be a very important note in feminine style this season. One sees at a glance that shoe styles this season are definitely different. For some time now the men have grumbled that women get less and less every year for their shoe money. First they take out the sides, then the toes and lately even the heels are missing. But women just laugh at them and try to explain how much more fun and exciting it is to wear unusual foot wear. Socks, Shoes Combined Quite the newest thing for beach, resort, or general sports wear are “Shocks”—a combination of shoes and socks. They are styled of cotton criss-crossed with elastic to give a lastex appearance, and some in stripes, plaids and pas tel shades. “Shocks” are set on a heavy duty cork sole and fit snugly jaround the ankle like bobby socks. Probably the most novel and newest shoes are those with wedged heels. They look a bit queer to us at first, but after we see them for a while they will probably lose their oddness. Styled for comfort, the health-shoe-wear er should be right in her glory with them. Mexican straw, hand-woven san dals are proving to be a very popu lar model too. Cork is becoming a very important feature, being used for both soles and heels. ty stiff job,” she told me serious ly. * # Speaking of parents, here is a true story that might throw a lit tle scientific light upon the parent child relation. You see I know it’s a true story because it came to me direct. A friend of mine told me and a friend of this friend of mine told her. This friend of my friend’s could vouch for its verac ity because it actually happened to a friend of his and this friend told him and then he told my friend’s friend and my friend’s friend told her and then my friend told me. So you see, I know it’s true be cause it couldn’t have come to me much more directly if it had hap pened to me myself. One morning this young man (the one to whom the story hap pened) was sleeping soundly in bed. It was a winter morning and cold as Greenland outside. The young man was burrowed deep into the warm covers sleeping content edly when his mother’s voice pen etrated his dreams. “Ray,” she called, “please get up and fix the furnace.” The young man muttered half heartedly that he would and then promptly rolled over and went back to sleep. "Ray,” his mother’s voice inter rupted again after a decent time interval had elapsed. “The fur nace still needs fixing.” This time the young man sat up in bed and shouted back at her that he was coming. Then he lay down again and once more closed his eyes. A moment later his fath er’s voice boomed out from the adjoining room, (Please turn to Page seven) Attention, Winners Ribbon is an important note in hat fashions this season. Whether your topper be large brimmed or turban style, ribbon is cool looking and just the thing to dress up your afternoon outfit for summer. The Coed of the Week MARIONBETH WOLFENDEN By BERNADINE BOWMAN If you have seen a coed walking around in a haze on the campus it may have been Marionbeth Wolfenden. She admits that things have been a bit vague ever since last weekend. Marionbeth was tapped for Mortar Board at the campus luncheon Friday and awarded the Gerlinger cup at the Junior prom that eve ning for being the most prominent junior woman. She says that it was the most eventful day of her college career. (This, apparently, is the feeling common to all women receiving such distinction because Clare Igoe used almost identical words recently in describing the occasion. All Marionbeth can remember about being awarded the cup is turning to see how her mother, up in the mothers’ section, was tak ing it, only to be blinded by the spot light. She still can’t believe the cup is hers. Just what it is that has made Marionbeth so prominent on the campus is difficult to put into words. Perhaps it is because she has so much “on the ball.” She is attractive, enthusiastic, intelli gent, and has personality. Has Varied Interests Her interests have no bounds. She likes to sing, read, swim, play tennis and badminton, etc. Ac cording to Marionbeth she isn’t an expert at any of them “but it’s sure fun.” She doesn’t play golf but she did walk on a golf course once. She can sew but doesn’t like to. Last summer she worked at Oregon Caves as an entertainer and in the store. She liked the work and enjoys telling about the plump women tourists who used to come down and crawl into the red-striped coveralls before going down into the damp caves. The pictures she has of some of them are among her prized possessions. Blonde, twenty - two - year - old Marionbeth is not always the se rious and practical person she ap pears to be. For instance, she is in a quandary now, not over ex ams, but what to do with her hair. It is a question of whether to let it grow or to have it cut. And when she isn’t studying she reads light fiction and magazines. She especially likes Collier’s. Thinks She Is a Dreamer She can’t understand why peo ple always think of her as being practical. She believes she is an idealist and a dreamer, and dotes on philosophy. One might cite the AWS carni val as evidence of her practicality, or her position as Kwama adviser. Marionbeth graduated from a business school in Portland and has done much office work. She probably will do this type of work when she gets out of school. Her ambition is to get into personnel work. She has been active in Girl Scout camps and may go to one this summer. Earns Own Way She has been almost entirely self-supporting since she came to school. During her freshman year she had a fee scholarship,- and. Heart Lockets Win Approval of Coeds A revival of the old-fashioned gold heart-shaped locket and chain has come in this spring, along with Gay Ninety Gibson Girl styles in dresses and millinery. Just the thing for accentuating simple frocks, many of the gold lockets are discarded heirlooms ot grandmother and great-grand mother dug out of the attic by smart young coeds. Carrying out the flowers’ part of this spring’s “hearts and flow ers” revival, are the new spring hats made of tiny violets or rose buds, introduced at Paris open ings. Demonstration Of Modern Dance To Be Given Friday Master Dance and the dancing glasses will give a demonstration of the modem technique Friday at 4 o’clock in Gerlinger hall. No ,admission will be charged. The demonstration is being given in stead of the formal recital this year because the groups have de voted their time to “Peer Gynt” numbers. Techniques, rhythmics, composi tion devices, and some finished compositions by Master Dance will be presented. Miss Pirkko Paasikivi, dance in structor, believes that the demon stration will acquaint people with the modern dance technique better than the recitals have in the past. since her sophomore year she has been treasurer of her sorority. Ruthalbert Wolfenden is Mar ionbeth’s sister, confidant and pal. Both girls have similar interests, and enjoy working and playing together. And so, after a look at the ac complishments of this Coed of the Week, we feel that the Gerlinger cup has found another deserving possessor. Send the Emerald home. Your folks will enjoy reading it. ^ miI,,^im**lii|||Ii'II"<<*iniii4liliiililiuli!lillIltHllliilillUIII(ltUi21illlllil!lliillIlllillIll!Ill||ll!||||!!iilllitlIIIlIilUill)lll!Iii!llU!!!i!Iiilllil!iiiIiUlil!lilllilininiimilil!<lllllllllIiiilll!iI!!!liIintflt^ i # i I THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT !
