WOMEN'S PAGE Thursday, April 20, 1939 Page Three Former Student Gets Chilean Scoop She scooped the world. . . . This is the acclaim which can proudly be given to Caroline Rogers, ex-’35, a former student of the school of journalism. Through presence of mind and favored circumstances, Miss Rogers was the first to re-; port the recent Chilean earthquake in South America. In that country as a representa tive at the Lima conference for the Trans Radio press, Miss Rog ers was at Vina Del Mar, when that section felt a slight earth quake shock. On being informed by more earthquake-wise villagers that it probably would be of a more serious nature and cause much damage further south, she cabled the Trans Radio service, giving preliminaries of the story and then traveled 200 miles by plane and 200 miles by train to get actual: coverage. In this stricken section! where all lines and wires were down and where others found it impossible to establish any com munication with the outside world,1 Miss Rogers got the complete j story which was in Ken, March 26. The plane in which Miss Rogers flew was the first to circle Mt. i Huascaran, one of the highest mountains in South America. SPECIAL IT’S KOLTSCH for BEAUTY Natural Oil Two manent.

A ! d fj v, n IT Bustle’ Significance [Traced from 19tli ^enturij to Present “We bustle qnd God works," said 19th century writer, summing p the whole futile business of the erb “bustle," which meant at best n excessive or obtrusive show of nergy, and at worst a blind activ :y getting nowhere. The word “bustle” can be traced o the middle English meaning “to zander blindly or stupidly.” How he word ever came to be used in ashions is quite a mystery. Per aps because anything done sud enly is said to be “done on the ustle,” the sudden projection at he back of the dress invited the itle, or perhaps some designer dth a sense of humor named it the bustle” to denote its utter use :ssness. Regardless of its derivation, the 'ord was first used to describe the rejection portion of the dress it 3lf. It soon was used to describe le stuffed pad or cushion, or a nail wire framework worn be eath the skirt of a woman’s dress > expand or support it in the back, ad thus “bustle" took on a new ishion significance. Today, much to Grandma's sur rise, bustles, “the things we used > wear years and years ago," have >me back. Modern stylists de are them to be the newest things, id so once again “bustle" takes a significance. lWS Dance, Dessert dhednled April 26 A dessert and tennis court dance, jonsored by the AWS, will be jld Wednesday, April 26, from 6 i S o’clock.

Bowman i Today I was stuck when asked | to get something really construc tive in my column. Why, I went around in a quandary all day then I happened to think that may be my predecessors had faced sim ilar problems—and lo and behold what I found— April 7, 1988 (Backseat Driver by Martha Stewart) My reader came to me this morning with a worried expression on her face. "Listen,” she said, "if you’re gonna expect me to keep on read ing that drivel you turn out week ly you're gonna have to make it a little more high class. You can’t expect me to waste any more or less valuable time poring over a lotta type when I sometimes think there isn't even one educational idea in the whole column.” And so for the sake of my dear reader, bless her heart, I shall set forth with clear, cold logic and sound, unbiased reasoning certain facts with which I shall prove a point. I shall raise the tone of my sentences and subject matter to a more scholarly plane. (Martha’s column which followed I consider especially timely and so in fond memory of my predecessor I dedicate this column to her.) Cheating is a very bad thing “Cheating," some very intelligent student (I can’t remember just who it was) once said to me, "is what if you do and get caught your professors will probably have you kicked out of school and peo ple will say, ‘why the dishonest creature!’ behind your back and no doubt cut you dead, but if you don't get caught they’ll come around after class and say, ‘I’ll give you a buck to tell me how you do it without getting caught’." Cheating is a very bad thing. It gets lots of people into trouble. Most people are not smart enough to cheat without getting caught and that is why I think that more people should not cheat, because it always comes out in the papers and then everybody thinks the school doesn’t teach the stu dents much or they would be edu cated enough to keep the profes sors from finding out about it. That is another reason why I think that cheating isn’t, so good. I recently heard (I don't remem- j ber exactly where) of a new sys tem cf cheating that sounds like j it would be very good to me. A young lady very carefully writes out everything she doesn’t know on a card (if she can get a card big enough). She then tucks this card under her sheer chiffon stock ing just above the knee and below the garter roll, and proceeds to the examination. The quiz is on economics, shall we say. The first question is "What is Gresham’s law?” The young lady has a somewhat vague notion about the law. I has something to do with economics, she thinks. With a deft flirt of the wrist she hitches up her skirt and takes a quick peek. "Gresham’s law is ...” it says in black and white. The matter from here on depends simply upon her ability to copy down what she sees before her. This method has one drawback. It is practically impossible for a man student unless he is willing to come dressed in a somewhat un usual fashion that might call forth some comment which would arouse suspicion. For women it is very good. Few professors are such hardy souls that they would dare, though practically sure of what was going on, to step forward and say in a loud, commanding voice to the lady in question: "Pull up your skirt, young wo And so for ladies it is practical ly fool proof. I asked a friend of mine 11 can’t remember which one) what she : did. "Cheating?” she said. "Why I | never cheat. But when I do ” And then she went on to tell me that she brings to class with her, tolled up inside her coat sleeve, a | regulation size sheet of newsprint paper like professors hand out for exams, covered with notes which are planned to answer all ques tions she doesn’t know. When pa per is passed out she smuggles her pony between the blank paper on which she is to write. When a question baffles her she just shuf fles through until she comes to her little answer sheet and write down what she sees. The professor passing thinks in astonishment when he sees the page full of writing, ”My, what a brilliant girl!

It is almost impossible this year to mention one new style without bringing in several other closely associated fashions. The best way to discuss the situation is to re view all of the new modes togeth er. Cotton Craze Noted For campus or informal sports wear, little-girl prints and striped, checked, or polka dot cottons take first place. In truth, a cotton craze has taken hold, and it is the most popular material for all spring dresses, morning, afternoon, and evening. Gingham, chintz, seer sucker, muslin, lawn, eyelet em broidery, dotted swiss, pique, and organdie all tend to help milady look fresh, clean, and lovely all day long. The gay patterns are color ful and refreshing. Long, full-sleeved starched or ganza blouses with tiny peter pan collars, and of a striped material are very popular worn with dark, neat-looking skirts, for very in formal occasions. Dainty white batiste blouses trimmed with lace and embroid ery, worn with knife-pleated skirts, give a charming Gibson-girl effect. Picture Hats Featured Picture hats of natural colored straw, trimmed with bright flow ers or gay plaid scarfs which tie under the chin are most attrac tive and fun to wear. They are the necessary touch to top off a girl ish summer-cotton afternoon dress. Hats are covered this season with bright veils and flowers of all de scriptions. Another popular headdress is the new “snood", made of mesh and flowers in the form of a turban to fit over all the hair. It is worn for both afternoon and evening. For a real Dutch treat, clever little sabots with platform soles have taken the footlights. They may be had in soft leathers or fab ric, in many colors with matching or contrasting platform. Popular for Afternoon The more dressy type of after noon frock this spring is a chiffon print, or dark color with dainty lingerie trim. Two-piece dresses are popular, as are the simple one piece styles with matching jackets or redingotes. Full skirts, having pressed or unpressed pleats, are important. Again on the subject of hats, we find the ever-popular felt sports hat being dolled up with furry fea thers which are very feminine and decorative. Streamered Baku poke bonnets, worn far back on the head, achieve an effect of wide eyed innocents to the wearer. Formals Have Frills Clouds of lace, chiffon, organza, taffeta or sheer cotton make up the charming formals to be noted this year. Skirts are 10-yards and up in width and frills and ruffles are in abundance. Flowers add a light refreshing touch to the dain tiness of the billowy skirts, creat ing an effect of fragile femininity.

Broadway i Coed of the Week Standing before a mirror and dabbing her face with cold cream, Pat Taylor prepared to remove her make-up after "With Fear and Trembling" Tuesday night. Between facial grimaces, she answered the questions of an inquisitive reporter and supplied information about herself. Pat is the much-enjoyed comedienne in the musical comedy play ing this week on the campus. She has been rolling in the laughs she gets as "the girl from the over-privileged classes” and the lecturer TAT TAYLOR Theta Sitjs Pletlge Fine Five junior women in journalism will receive pledge ribbons from Theta Sigma Phi, national women’s honorary and professional group, at 4 o'clock formal pledging this afternoon. Conducting the pledge service today at the Chi Omega house, will be newly elected President Kay Taylor. Chosen because of outstanding journalism work and scholarship, girls to receive ribbons include Harriet Whalley, Hope Dondero, Blanche Brown, Mary Cockrell, and Doris Lindgren. The exclamation, “Honestly, what kind of shoes will women wear next!” is getting to be very trite because men have had to use it over and over again in the past few years, especially this spring, and they're not ready yet to discard it yet either. The very latest sensation is the balloon toe shoe. “Turned' up” describes the shoe exactly, however, for it is an exaggerated version of the balloon idea once so prominent in men's shoes. Guaranteed Finishing DOTSON’S PROTO SHOP i .v/.£i.u. vv , x .au. aooutia tion.” Undoubtedly one of the reasons Pat is so successful in her comedy role is that she loves to make peo ple laugh. “People go around with long fac es too much of the time,” she has decided. In Many Activities Before appearing is this play, Pat was already well known on the campus as an all-around activ ity girl. Although only a sopho more, she already has an imposing list of activities chalked up to her credit. She is a member of Kwama and Amphibian, is women’s intra nural diving champion, and served n this year's Oregon rushing com littee and on the AWS carnival irectorate. Pat is a mixture of determina .ion and happy-go-luckiness. She is interested in the future, but is sure that the present is much more important. “I’m in no hurry to get any place,” she said. “Too many people [ don’t enjoy the present. I think if you take time out to appreciate things you'll be happier.” Has Determination And she is sure she can get the things out of life she wants. She believes determination and hard work will insure reaching a goal. “I never yet have failed to get something I wanted and worked for,” she declared. She is paying her own way through school and finds working all a part of the game. Last sum mer she worked as a waitress in a Portland hotel, where her acting ability unexpectedly came in han dy. To get the job she claimed she had had experience, although she hadn’t, But by watching expe rienced waitresses and mimicking their actions she got along all right and was promoted to a top position before the summer was over. Stage, Radio Interests Pat is interested in the stage and radio as a future career. "I know some people think you stage-struck girl to say that, but I’m just not interested in doing anything else,” she explained. “And I know I can get along all right.” Yet Pat insists she doesn’t be lieve in planning things. “I kno wsome people think you (Please turn to page jour) A brand new shipment a brand new shipment Fresh in for Oaisy Mar ami Li l Aimer -cool sharkskins in shepherd cheeks with skating skirts immaculately tailored crepes and ray ons in pastels and prints, dots and dashes-—cot ton frocks that Ink and like it—sheers in navy, black, and pastels.
