Women’s Activities
Fill Remainder of Week
Highlighting a week of AWS affairs students will swing out Satur
day night at the annual AWS spring carnival. Jitterbug contests will
set a new campus high in dancing with young hopefuls shagging and
trucking to Fred Beardsley’s rhythmic rhythms. With all living or
ganizations competing for honors along the concession line, there
promises to be a great variety of booths. There’s everything from a
chance on a life size Petty drawing by campus artist Jess Shin, to
general carnival fun including the
bombardment of Shanghai with
waterbags and putting a row of
candles out with a squirt gun.

Men Declare War
No matter how you look at it,
or what excuses you give, women
are dressing for the men this year
as never before. When men turned
in a negative vote on up-hair, wo
men compromised promptly. Be
cause they diet not like sharp so
phistication, women are acting the
age of innocents. Hats tried to be
silly, in a horribly crazy and un
becoming way, but men declared
war and now pretty be-ribboned
and flowered hats absolutely

Attuned To Springtime and Youth
Springtime—a figure in ruffles and lace, charming and command
ing. 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.

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.
