Oregon Women Grads Work in Many Fields What happens to the women graduates? A sketchy survey reveals that most of them have married and made homes in Oregon. Some of these are helping their husbands in their work, and the majority are busy in the role of mothers. A few of these women have followed careers and are already well known in their fields. The more recent graduates have scattered over me country anu nave snown signs of making names for themselves. Starting back in the 1890’s there were very few women graduates. Each year the number has in creased until in recent years a comparatively large number have gone out into the professional fields. Graduate Wins Repute Among the graduates who have done well is Miriam Van Waters. She is now superintendent of the Sherborn reformatory for women in Framingham, Massachusetts, and has directed a survey in juve nile delinquency in connection with a crime survey. She graduated from Oregon in 1908 and reoeived her master’s here in 1910, a Ph.D. from Clark ■ university in psychology and an thropolgy in 1913, and an honorary LL.D. from Smith college in 1932. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. For ten years she served as referee in the Los Angeles county juvenile court, during which time she won national repute for intelli gent handling of youth and adoles cent problems. Dr. Van Waters’ work has won her a reputation akin to that of Judge Ben Lindsay, except that she approaches from a scientific and research point of view. She has written extensively on crime and juvenile delinquency problems of youth in a modern city. * * * Puzzle Editor Mrs. Dorothy Manville Kiggins, ’22, is now puzzle editor of the New York Herald Tribune. * * * Creative Writer Mrs. Kathleen MacNeil Clarke, ’25, is now living in Grants Pass, Oregon where she writes poems and plays, short stories and novels. In 1928 she published a novel “Under the Skin.” She was a mem ber of Pot and Quill writing soci ety on the campus, and is affiliated with Phi Beta Kappa. * Sc * Noted Nowspaper Woman A well know newspaper woman of Portland, Alaska, New York and j South America is Lucile Saunder McDonald, 'ex-1919. She has accompanied her hus band on long treks to Constantin ople from where she sent back specials to the Oregonian. While there she was foreign correspon dent for the New York Times. She is the author of “Dick and the Spice Cupboard.” Mrs. McDonald is now living in Mexico City where her husband, Iris Saunder, '28, handles Cletrac tractors. On Cosmopolitan Staff Lyle Bryson Covell who received her degree in journalism in 1922 is now on the advertising staff for the Cosmopolitan magazine. Fol lowing her graduation she did graduate work at Columbia univer sity. For a while she was on the New York American staff and then in 1926 she became art editor of the Peoples’ Home Journal. In November, 1926 she was manag ing editor of The New Eve, a wo man's magazine backed by the Junior League of New York City. She has been on the Cosmopoli tan staff since 1927 when she be came art editor. She was then changed to the advertising staff where she has charge of the school and camp advertising. She is a member of Theta Sigma Phi. Associate German Professor Mrs. Austrid Williams who is now associate professor of Ger man on the campus, received her B.A. in zoology in 1931. The fol lowing year she served as graduate assistant in the German depart ment while working for her mas ter’s degree. In 1933 she went to the University of Marburg in Ger many from where she received her Ph.D. in 1934. Upon her return to the campus she replaced Eric A. Pollard, then associate professor in German. Writer’s Varied Career A varied career has Mrs. Claire Warner Churchill, who received her degree in history in 1919. Fol lowing her graduation she taught for six years in Oregon and Wash ington schools. She then turned to free-lance writing and has two books credited to her. Her first novel '‘Slave Wives of Nehalem,” was. published by the Metropolitan Press in 1933. Although it is pure ly fiction the book was based upon authentic customs of the Oregon coast Indians whom Mrs. Churchill has studied extensively. Her second book, “South of the Sunset’’ published in May, 1936 was selected by the Junior Lite rary Guild. Its heroine is Saca jawea. Besides her writing Mrs. Chur chill has found time to do a num ber of other things among which are listed the mayorship of Wheel er, bookkeeping, service station attendant, librarian, and steno grapher. She also collected historical data for Oregon as a WPA project. Faculty Member Another alumna is Anne Lands bury Beck, professor of public school music. She was graduated in 1918. Her election to Phi Beta Kappa was announced in 1923. In 1928 she was elected to the vice presidency of the northwest con ference of National Music Super visors. She was elected president of the northwest division of Public School Music in 1931. In the same year she was named to the edi torial board of the Music Super visors’ Journal. With this office she received the distinction of be coming the first woman member of the board. She has travelled extensively, spending one summer on a cruise of the South Sea islands and one in Japan, China, Korea and Man churia. win-riungry Ducks (Continued from page one) tain to get plenty of action when ever Oliver wants to shift players. On this quartet are Dennis Dono van, quarter; Ted Gebhardt, left half; Dave Gammon, right half; and Marshall Stenstrom. Another Oregonian the New Yorkers will be keeping an eye out for is Jay Graybeal, the slippery, long-run specialist. Purdue Starters May Kepeat Coach “Sleepy Jim’’ Crowley one time member of the famous Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, will probably start the same eleven men who opened against Purdue, but in the Oregon game he is al most certain to inject Len Esh mont, the east's latest ball-carry ing sensation. Eshmont, only a substitute against the Boilermak, ers, galloped 49 yards for the score that tied Purdue 6 to 6. Co-captain Harry Jacunski and Vincent Dennery will open at the wingposts; John Kuzman and Ray Riddick at the tackle berths; Co Captain Mike Kochel and Jimmy Hayes at the guard positions; and Lou De Filippo at center. Crowley’s starting backfield will have Billy Krywicki, at quarter back, Steve Kazlo at left halfback, Pete Holovak at right half; and Dom Principe at fuljback.

Erickson, D. Burke, S. Mitchell. B. B. SHOTS.... By B. Bowman With something resembling a sigh, or maybe it's just the first time there has been a chance to breathe, and the last page of wo men's copy for the big homecom ing edition is underway. My list of experiences in the newspaper field is not long but this assignment tops them all. And so I humbly submit the results. Great was my surprise to find out how little has been written about the women at Homecoming time. A search through the last ten years of papers was particu larly unrevealing. It isn’t that the women haven't done anything—they've done a great deal and in varied lines. However, it does seem they are modest. Positively reams of stuff \vas found on the men and what they are doing. Perhaps this page will serve as an incentive for more news items on what the women are doing now. Not only are the alumnae inter ested'—but also the undergradu ates. They are proud to read that an alum is going places. There arc so many ways to hap piness and success that it is futile to think of presenting a true pic ture. If one could tell of all the “nice” people and all of the suc cessful mothers they might pre sent something of a true picture. Perhaps the alums should be told of one of the newer campus fads. The coeds have become rib bon conscious. Generous bows are worn in the hair. They drip, dan gle, or what have you, down each side of the head. If an alum would like to really get in the spirit of things they might don a ribbon and go aroujid incognito (for fair weather only). Several of the sororities are sending out small newspapers to the alums telling them what’s go ing to be the main Homecoming attractions, and what some of the ether women are doing now. Oliver Takes (Continued from page one) disappointed. “The Oliver Twist” was a success from the very be ginning. In the opening confer ence game of the season, the Webfoots battered Washington State College at Pullman, 10 to 2. Spurred by this success, the Webfoots returned to Eugene to play UCLA. This was the first time fcotball fans of Oregon had a chance to see the Oliver men in action. Oregon Takes Thriller Oregon won by a score of 14 to 12 in a game described by fans as one of the greatest thrillers ever played on historic Hayward field. In this game, the Oliver system went on dis play in no uncertain manner as the Ducks came from behind to win, scoring a last quarter touchdown, and then staving off a concerted UCLA passing at tack. True, they lost to Stanford, 27-to-16, but in losing they drew praise from California sports writers, something no other Webfoot team has been able to do in many a year. And the reason for this is Tex Oliver. The Webfoot head man has coached the grid sport for nearly half of his 38 years.. He knows men, and he knows foot ball. lie nans [i> lum! He hates to lose and this spirit he has instilled in his players. His record speaks for itself. From 1930 to 1932. while at San ta Ana high school his team won 27 straight games.

Football Shades Strong Feature Of Fall Fashions By SADIE MITCHELL, King Color takes command of the Oregon campus as the Home coming weekend approaches, and co-eds array' themselves in the season’s newest hues to welcome grads back to Oregon. The new football shades of teal blue, dusty rose, luggage tan, yel low and green lend themselves at tractively into sport combinations, which may be accented by color ful scarfs, novelty belts, and cos tume jewelry.

Herringbone tweed for mannish tailored jackets and fitted coats is worn for sports wear with a soft felt breton in a contrasting color Date Dresses Every week is rush week on the Oregon campus when co-eds uon their date dresses of silk romaine, velvet, or light-weight woolens to attend social functions. Pencil slim skirts, with gathered bodice tops, ' rnamented with rhinestone clips, brilliant beads, and gay ribbon contrasts, or the all-popular dirndl styles are prerequisites Tor an eve ning of fun in the social whirl. For formal wear, a strapless black velvet gown, with one of the new hoop skirts, and a cluster of pink flowers trimming the de colletage, makes an alluring eve ning picture. With the hair styles still on the upward trend, one of the new strapless for’mals, en hanced IJy a miniature corsage suspended by a velvet ribbon around the neck makes a most charming silhouette. Very popular over a swishing taffeta evening skirt is the new sequin or metallic bolero. To top off this combination one of the brightly-colored ostrich plumes may be caught up in a cluster of upswung curls.

The panels arc the master thesis of Miss Victoria Avakian, associate professor of applied design. Miss Avakian is now on leave of absence so that she may complete work for her master of fine arts degree at the University of Southern California. The central theme for the panels is the wild life and flora of the state. One panel has for the main figures a pheasant done in various shades of gray, a squirrel, and a cone of one of the evergreen trees. Hidden in the background of various leaves are other small figures including a snail. The other nanel is dominated hv a hmro crrav-sraled fish and a gray and blue-green and brown winged Mallard duck. In the back ground are the mountains and the seashore. In this panel a starfish is in the foreground. Uses Different Shades While most of the murals at the art school are done mainly in bright reds and blues, the panels are predominately light blue-green, grays, and orange. It was almost exactly three months from the day the work of transferring the design to the pan els was started to the day when the last tile was placed aifd the project could be called completed. Each panel measures 39 inches high and 13 feet long. There are 150 six-inch tiles (six tiles high and 25 tiles long) in each panel. New Colors Produced Before the glaze could be put on the tiles, Miss Avakian had to spend a year or more in research and sketching. She tested sev eral hundred different colors to see which ones would harmonize best with the building and with each other. Out of this testing, says Dean Ellis F. Lawrence, sev eral new colors were produced. A careful study of the correla tion between the expansion of the clay and the glaze was necessary to prevent crackling. This meant finding a glaze and a clay that would expand and contract the same amount so that the panels faces would not be lined with age and exposure to the climatic con ditions as some of our dishes are. Two Models Made The first sketches were made one-sixth the size of the com pleted panels. After their designer was satisfied, two small models were made. Each six-inch tile was represented by a two-inch model. The design was then transferred to the commercial tile. This tile was the only part of the entire process that was not done on the Oregon campus. The design was outlined in black and then the glaze was put on. For this part of the work Miss Avakian used ear syringes. When the places were too small she ap plied the glaze with a medicine dropper. After the glaze had dried, the tiles were fired and then they were ready to put up. This re quired some time as each tile had to be cemented separately and the jointings or pointings as they are technically known, had to be just so. Texas Christian university also has a similar custom, but only for freshmen. There it is compulsory that every freshman boy attend in his loudest P.J.’s "The louder the better," says the yell leader, adding that all upperclassmen wishing to join in the snake danc ing and yelling are invited too.
