The clinic, the first of its kind on this campus, was conducted by William M. Tugman, editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, and Ar thur Priaulx, editor of the Eugene News. Women in the school of journal ism were previously asked to write letters of application, which were I used as “subjects” in the clinic. I The letters were read by the two newspaper men, criticized, and discussed. Just how a letter of ap plication should be written was explained, with special emphasis on the type of work the letters ap j ply for. Interviews Held Following the discussion of the i letters of application, two inter | views were conducted, a “poor” one . and a model interview. Just how a woman should conduct herself at an interview if she does not want to get a job, was demonstrated in humorous fashion by Alice Nel : son, who was interviewed by Mr. | Priaulx. It was discovered that dress, manner, and attitude, count j ed equally with actual newspaper ■ qualifications in the success of the i application. J Bernadine Bowman was the sub ject for the model interview, dem onstrating the opposite result—in which the woman gets the job. Mr. Tugman conducted this feature of the clinic. The “job clinic” is expected to ! become an annual spring activity | of Theta Sigma Phi, with the pur pose of easing some of the qualms | that women sometimes feel when | they go into the business world looking for their first newspaper positions. Neil) Sweaters Match Dresses “Dress Sweater" is the name of the new low-priced handknit type of sweater that matches the semi soft or classic sports dress has been christened. ; The brief cardigans that appear i handknit have been matched with j the colors of woven fabrics used by sports dresses, and thus the one piece shirtwaist dress is featured with these sweaters which are of ten a bit dressy. One of the most formal is knitted in handknit ef fect of a thick silk chenille yarn, j Wool chenille ribbed ones also copy 1 handknits. Fuzzy Angora Popular Particularly nice are the quite i fuzzy angora brief jackets with self embroidery of scroll design or dots for the border. The embroid ery merely gives a nice surface ap pearance, being in matching color, j Especially noteworthy is the broadly striped basque cardigan in nubby cotton chenille, called the ; gypsy sweater. Close runner up to these aforementioned sweaters, j hQwever, is the quilted jacket. I Some of them are fitted and color less while they have collars and fly fronts. 1 Phi Chi Theta will entertain Tau Delta Chi with a mill race picnic at 7::3::0: t:o:ni:g:h:t. for MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS FOR MOTHER . . .

For Maxine Glad will take up her position as first lady of the campus when she is crowned queen at the campus luncheon tomorrow and will rule over all the subsequent events. Maxine was found early this week deep in a conference with con tinuity writers for Saturday night's canoe fete. Since she originated the “Alice in Wonderland” theme long before she ever thought of becoming queen, she must direct the writing of the script as well as act the part of the main character when the fete is presented. Busy discussing what words should introduce the mad hatter and what music would be appro priate for the Cheshire cat se quence, she was persuaded to take time off to answer questions about herself. Loves to Study “I love to study,” Maxine de clared when asked what she liked most about school. She believes it is best to take courses in a wide variety of fields rather than to limit one’s self too narrowly to the confines of a pro fessional school. The cultural back ground gained from learning about a. diversity of subjects is valuable, she believes. “I’d like to take a little bit of everything,” Maxine declared. ‘‘It seems that the more subjects I study, the more things I learn to enjoy and appreciate.” And Maxine takes her beliefs se riously. Last term she took 19 hours and got good grades in them, too. Is No Bookworm But it would be a mistake to pic ture Maxine as a “book-worm.” Probably few other coeds know as many people on the campus as she does. As we sat talking in the Col lege Side, about three out of every four persons that passed spoke to Maxine, and nearly every second one stopped to exchange a few words. ivifciAuit: is iuoiviiig iurwmu lu working in some phase of advertis ing when she is graduated from the University next year. She would prefer going to work in an advertising agency, where she be lieves there is a chance of “start ing at the bottom” and working up. No ‘Career Woman’ “But I have no burning desire to set the world on fire,” she added. “I don’t think I would make a good ‘career woman’.” The answer to career versus marriage she has all worked out. “Why I think it’s only sensible to work after you are married," she said. “I think it’s a very help ful thing the first few years of married life to have some work outside the home.” To learn how to fly is one of Maxine’s ambitions. She has been up in an airplane often and has even handled the controls herself for a few minutes at a time. “With the first $50 I get I’m go ing to take flying lessons,” she de clared. MISS O’TOOLE TO WED Announcement of the coming marriage of Miss Phyllis O’Toole, ex-’42, to Hobert Horning, ’40, was received recently. The wedding will be an event of Sunday, May 28, at 2 o'clock in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. Friends of the couple arc invited to attend. STAFF Editor.B.

See Shells Moke Attractive New Costume eJeweliHij “She sells sea shells” has been changed this spring to “she wears sea shells,” in the form of costume jewelry. Almost every girl will tes tify that odd bits of bright jewel ry are not only fun to wear, but also add a touch of something to a cool spring outfit. Sea shells are light, dainty, and may be painted in colors to suit any costume. Necklaces of tiny gold-link chain with pastel shells are replacing pearls as a trim for lacy sweaters or silk dresses. For sports wear, the large, heavier type of shells are worn in several strands about the neck. Bracelets Clever Bracelets of very small speci mens are dainty and attractive. The more shells on the bracelet, the more clever it will appear. Wc have seen them in natural, blue, pink, fuschia, lime, and all the rest of the seasons' high shades. An other attractive one is of medium sized shells, with six shells in each color of green, yellow, blue anc pink. Many of the natural shell. are filled with bright small beads which set them off perfectly. Fads come and go, but are fur I while they last, so everyone is en | joying the touch of the seashore 1 in this spring’s jewelry.

Bowman I Tillie may be a senior, Mortar Board, executive council, YWCA cabinet and all the rest on the cam pus, but Junior Weekend when her family comes down she is just plain Mathilda or Sis. Tillie is proud of her family—it's the swell i est family in the world — but strangely, as they set out for a tour of the campus, subject to the critical observation of the Kattas and the Gammas and Pi Flies and Everyone Else That Matters— they seem to have become a rather mot ley-looking crew. But they're off—Mamma, whose college education was somewhat disrupted by meeting Papa 25 years ago this Junior Weekend, starts the tour off slightly behind Tillie, clucking her disapproval of the too-short skirt. Papa, who wants to inspect the construction of Chapman hall closer, thinks that all the building is fine but some body's got to pay. Little Freddie wants to know how high is the [ smokestack, did anyone ever climb I it, and why can't he ? Little Sis is too, too thrilled at seeing Genuine College Men. * * * Mama and Papa admire the new libe but just can't help recalling their favorite nooks at the old libc. The creaking stairs, the old pic tures covered with dust and the fireplaces. Freddie brings the tour of the libe to an abrupt stop by sliding down the bannisters. Little Sis stares raptly at all the handsome men on the law school steps. Mama insists on sitting on the senior bench—this weather, hard on the feet! . Freddie wants to go up on top of Deady and look over. They do bacause Papa and Mama remem ber putting their names up in that I old belfry. Mama, in spite of her added pounds, trails Papa up the frail little ladder, and Papa gal lantly pulls her up through the trap door. They find' their names where they put them in 1914. Mama, re calling the thrill of first love, gazes l adoringly at Papa, in spite of the large runner acquired on the way up. Freddie dashes precariously | around the roof. Mama calls him i back and they start their descent. Back on the ground again, they i trudge wearily down to the Side (Please turn to pane four) i MOKTAR BOARD ENTERTAINS Active m embers of Mortar Board, senior women's honorary, will entertain with an informal breakfast for their mothers Satur day morning in Gerlinger hall.

Three Ittij Ktties By M. G. “—And dey fam and dey fam all over de dam.” One more hour of that and they'd have to send for a straight jacket. "No, no, the left foot, Mr. Ellis. See, like this: left foot for ward, pivot twice, step left again —Why didn’t he call? Four nights now and not a word. What would his excuse be? Busy? Tired? "No, really, you’re doing fine, Mr. Ellis. It's just me, I should be able to keep out of your way. Yes, ha, ha, that’s nice of you, really.” Clumsy ox. What ever made some of ’em think they could learn to dance. Private lessons were worse, too, no chance to change off and trade around. Feet tired at this time of day, too. “—’Fim!” fed de mamma fitty, ‘Fim if oo tan’.” Gripes, the goof was singing it now, baby-talk. Don't scream, don’t sneer, you'll lose your job if you offend a customer. Besides, sometimes the private lessons tipped pretty good if you treated them right. Jim—but would he have an excuse? Or would he just casually call up with an invitation as though a four-day silence was a small matter calling for no ex planation? Would it be better to accept and be as charming and attractive as possible, or act a lit tle cool and indifferent? "No, that was my fault. You’re doing splen didly. Some of these afternoons you’ll be teaching me how to i dance. Now, once more around.” If he stepped on that corn again—. “Bop boop dittem dattem what- , tern chu!” Why didn't somebody get an- ' other record on there ? Ten, twen ty, forty times a day. Never want to look Friday in the face again. And the next person who talked baby talk—•. The phone! Jim! “Just a minute, Mr. Ellis.” Nearly forgot that. “Hello? Oh, Bertha! your Willie. So sorry, Mr. Ellis. Shall we try it again?” Couldn’t stand up much longer, let alone dance. What if he didn’t call? at all. “No, you were all right. Sor.ry, really.” But he couldn't just quit without a reason. Unless to stop caring is reason enough. “I'm (Please turn to page four) II I? f MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS — Neckwear — frilly lace and net collars.98o — Nightgowns — printed rayon satins.. $1.95 and dimities ..$1.00 — A large selection of com pacts and jewelry—sure to catch both your and your mo ther’s eye.
