An unusual dress for the season and just the one to he worn to one of the “big name” dances. How upon row of fine white Chantilly lace separate the silk chiffon bands of the skirt and shape the low square bodice. The hem is frilled with lace, and around the waist is a sash of robin's egg blue moire. Home from a two weeks' trip to Kansas and back into the news is Anne Frederiksen, AWS president. Anne has brought with her many ideas for next year’s regional conference which will be held on the Uni versity campus. Kay Taylor received double honor Tuesday night when she was elected president of Theta Sigma Phi, women's journalism honorary, and a delegate to the annual convention which will be held on the Northwestern cam pus at Evanston, Illinois, on August 17, IS, and 19. Latest member of the “With Fear and Trembling” cast to receive mention in the paper is Pat Taylor of Hendricks hall. New coed pledges of Amphib ians are Becky Anderson, Bar bara Bamford, Hope Hughes, and Barbara Roberts. Florence Saunders and Pearl King, speech students, have been honored by being elected to Delta Sigma Rho, national speech honorary. Qualifications for initiation are high, each member required to be an up perclassman in third year speech work and to have de bated successfully against some other college. shockless with yards of veiling is the thing. So the male population deter mines and lays down the law for feminine spring fashions. It score one for them, yet it’s the ladies’ victory, too, for with their roman tic clothes they win the adoring male public, which is, after all, the whole idea of new fashions. Culottes Shown For Evening Wear Glamorous girls arc now adopt ing culottes for evening wear in Washington, D. C., it seems. Ger trude Lawrence, well known for her chic clothes, wears a pair in her latest play, and thus the fad is started. The new culotte dresses are cut full, and are very flattering. They are decidedly not sports clothes, but for dinner and daytime affairs. For evening it's the full-flowing divided evening skirt just the thing for jitterbugs.

By B. Bowman Anne's Story Tops If you get a chance to hear Anne Frederiksen tell about her convention trip don't miss it! For the benefit of those who don't get to hear her tell about it, here are a few of the incidents of her trip. In the first place Anne never had been on a train except between here and Portland, so she was com paratively new at the business, | much to her mother's concern. So much to her concern that the other people who met Anne at the train in Portland didn't have a chance to get a word in edgewise. In stead her mother was giving her instructions how to grapple with her purse in case some one at tempted to take it. That matter being mastered, Anne was off with the promise to wire from each place she stopped. She got so excited in Chicago she forgot to wire for 10 hours and then had to rewrite a telegram 10 times in order to meet the rules on sending a telegram tourist late. While in Chicago she saw the “Mikado in Swing" that very col orful production with a cast of over 100 colored persons. Anne was duly impressed and' sent 25 post cards back here telling about the show calling it the “Miluda in Swing." Now she is having quite a little difficulty explaining her mistake. Anne usually starts her narra tive off by telling about the freck led negro waiter on the train, by whom she was so fascinated (hav ing never seen one before) that she forgot to eat. Team Praised One particular porter and she struck up quite a friendship as soon as she found out he had a son going to school here and that he had been on the train with our basketball team when it was go ing back east. He told her that in all of his 20 years experience he had never met a better bunch of boys. They didn't even have to hide the magazines as they usually do when a team is on the train nor did the boys throw any parties and 1 break the windows, or the proced ure usually expected. In fact they didn't even occupy a whole car and only volunteered information ! when asked. Anne said someone in Chicago I 1 was telling her about the aged couple from Eugene who went back especially for the game. The train was five hours late and they only got to see two minutes of the game. i :\nnc iteno j And then there were the two i “nut” men she traveled' with com | ing back. (They were sales mana gers for two nut companies). By the time one of them had gotten his three bags and a small steam er in the section with Anne, there was standing room only, since she v/as traveling with three bags, a hat bo:c and various other inci dentals. It was this “nut” man who showed her a couple of the gambling places in Reno. Having lived in Nevada among such places for the last eight years I don't think T ever appreciated them un til I heard Anne tell how exciting it was to see all those stacks of silver dollars and to see a man lose $300 without the flicker of an eye lash. Carries Identification Anne had a corsage nursed all the way to Denver so a cousin she had' never seen would be able to recognize her. After all that trou ble she found she didn’t need any identification because she was the only girl on the train. Her attempt to write a diary ot her trip while traveling on the streamlined train at some 110 miles an hour almost drove her “berserk.” However, conditions were altered when the “unbeata ble” train broke down half way there and, to use Anne's own words they “tooted into Chicago behind a steam engine.!” When a ked what happened to the train she supposed it went too fast or something. Visits Northwestern Her description of the North . western campus was interesting. AH of the dorms and houses are built uniformly, five stories high a.id of gray stone. 1 Almost forgot to tell you about t the exciting note her trip started out on. Her traveling companion . was a piic t who carried a book - of five minute sermons in Latin, ; which lie preferred to read aloud 1 rathoi than engage in a eonversa ■i lion with her. All in all, six campuses were visited (University of Colorado - Northwestern, Kansas, Stanford I Mills, and California) not to men t tion hearing Bob Crosby at tin J Black Hawk, Gene Kroupa at tin e I’u'mcr House, and Eddie Duchi) at _e Bai Tat,aim. Coed of the Week By BEULAH CHAPMAN' A definite philosophy about what is important in life, together with pep, personality, and good looks, makes Mary Staton a person well, deserving of the title "Coed of the Week.” Mary will appear before theater-goers next week in the leading feminine role of “With Fear and Trembling.” This small brunette with expressive eyes and a ready smile is already well-known for work in such productions as “Pygmalion,” “Hay Fever,” “Stage Door,” and "As Husbands Go.” But the com ing musical comedy gives Mary her first starring role. MARY STATON Her first public appearance on the stage came when she was three years old, Mary revealed as she | relaxed in a booth at the College i Side Tuesday, prepared to tell all about herself for the benefit of Emerald readers. At this time her sister was in grade school, and Mary sang at one of the school’s assemblies. But this appearance didn't make her stage struck, she declared. Set Bird’s Leg Her early ambition was to be a nurse. She thought it would be nice to run a dog and cat hospital and started bringing home stray animals, which her mother always made her lake back. Once she put a splint on a bird’s broken leg, which responded to her treatment and healed satisfactorily. When she was in the seventti grade, school plays began to in terest her, and she has been acting ever since. She has greatly enjoyed all her work in the University drama department and admits that the stage has always intrigued her. But when asked' whether she was considering the stage for a career, she shook her head. “I think acting makes a better bobby than a profession,” she saiefe “It Would be fun working with Very LiLtie Theater groups, but professional actors usually become rather artificial. Acting seems to make exhibitionists of people.” No Screen Career She definitely would not like be ing a moving picture actress, she said adding, “even if I had the chance, which I wouldn't.” Nothing but the money would interest her in such a career. Hollywood life she finds artificial and showy. Besides, Mary admitted, she had an idea that the only career in store for her is marriage. Not only does Mary know what is important in life-after-school for her, she also has ideas about college. “It's hard to say what seems to me to be the most important thing in college. It has to all go together. But the thing I’ve en joyed the most has been the con tacts I’ve made,” she said. Likes Knowing People Because she likes knowing peo ple, Mary has found college a grand opportunity to get acquaint ed with all kinds of really worth while ones. Professors she finds particularly worth knowing. "Being able to know professors like Stevie Smith and Mr. Ernst is one of the things I've liked most about college,” she said. Although she has received good grades all through school, Mary is strongly against “working for grades.” She believes that one should study the things he likes and try to get all out of a course that will be of value. Then if the grades come—fine. But she be lieves that to work for grades alone is a serious mistake. Is Wide Header Mary is an enthusiastic reader, often reading up to three novels a week. Daphne Maurier’s books especially appeal to her at the present time. When she got home from rehearsal one morning this week at 3 o'clock, she stayed up a bit longer to read a couple of chapters in “Rebecca.” She is also very fond of music. George Gershwin’s music is Her favorite, but she likes all kinds with only one exception. The ex ception is swing versions of old favorites. That is her pet hate.
