Presentingthe Rulers of Wonderland..by Helen Angell
To a Brunette
What a busy girl is activity-girl
Patsy Taylor . . . and what a secre
tive girl about her love life! From
2 o’clock yesterday afternoon until
8 last night the telephone wires
from the Emerald shack to the
Theta house were in constant use
as an attempt to interview Prin
cess Patsy got underway.
But to no avail. At 8:30 last
night, one of her fellow-princesses
revealed that she is to wear a yel
low dotted swiss dress with brown
grosgrain ribbon trim . . . and
that is all that could be learned.
A complete survey of the mem
bership of hSr sorority failed to
learn the name of the “man of the
hour’’ who will take Princess Patsy
to tonight’s prom. Though they
didn't know whether Princess
Patsy’s escort is a “Masked Mar
vel” or just plain Joe College,
Theta sisters knew she was going
to be there.
With lovely dark hair, expressive
brown eyes, and an engaging smile,
Oregon’s Princess Pat is indeed a
grand girl, if a busy one, the co
rulers of the mythical Webfoot
kingdom asserted in her behalf.

Vision of loveliness: Striking
titian-haired Helen Gillam smiling
graciously from the queen’s plat
form in light green dotted swiss!
She’s a wise girl, this red-headed
bit of royalty, for she’ll show off
her campus-famous locks with a
long bob today.
Still working diligently at her
job as circulation desk clerk in
the University library late last
night, Princess Helen admitted she
was getting pretty anxious for to
day to dawn. “I think it’s wonder
ful!” she smiled and said between
customers.
Of course she’ll be at the prom
to view the salute of a student
body in honor of Queen Maxine and
her four princesses. Between bows
to subjects, she’ll let Carl Wester,
DU, keep the admirers of royalty
away.

All Hail the Queen
She's such a democratic soul,
this Queen Maxine I of ours, that
, it's hard to think of her sitting up
on a throne “away from the mil
ling crowd.’’ No, Oregon's personi
fication of Alice in Wonderland
isn't the sophisticated type, but
she’s a “queen’’ by her own rights.
Tell her that, though, and she’ll
scoff and declare she’s just a hap
py, thrilled girl.
Last night, hair in curlers, Max
anxiously awaited the dawn of Her
Day. Asked what she expected to
be the highlight of her reign, she
quickly decided it would be the
canoe fete. “At least it will be if
I don’t fall in the creek!” she
laughingly said.
As any queen should, Oregon’s
ruler will wear white on her coro
nation. A simple hoop-skirted dress
of mousseline de soi with square
neck and fitted waist will be her
royal gown.
Her hair she will wear with a
tiara of curls on top to form a
background of brown curly loveli
ness for the crown she will receive.
And the lucky man who will
: gaze into the big blue eyes of Ore
| gon’s “Alice” at tonight’s prom
| is Phi Delt’s Gordon Benson.

not yet picked up their copies of
the yearbook are requested to do
so.
All in all, about 1644 copies of
the Oregana were turned over
to the purchasers yesterday. Of
this number, 40 were delivered
in Portland, while the rest went
to students and faculty mem
bers of the Oregon campus.
Scabbard and Blade will perform
a ceremony for Junior Weekend
Queen Maxine Glad at the campus
luncheon today. All Scabbard and
Blade members are asked to be at
the luncheon by 11:30.

To a Blonde
Only true blonde in this year’s
royal court is the distinction o:
Princess Margaret Williams, blue
eyed Pi Phi, who recalled last
night~that she was “nearly floored’
when she first learned of her roya
status.
Here to share her reign is hei
mother from Portland, who wil
see to it, she promises, that Prin
cess Margaret gets safely into hei
pale blue dotted swiss dress
trimmed with rose grosgrain rib
bon. Like all the other princesses
gowns, Margaret’s has a tight fit
ted waistline and quaint puffec
sleeves. The neck is V shaped, anc
a full skirt lends distinction to the
costume.
Margaret loves her work in the
University art school, but she
laughed and admitted she wouldn’t
mind doffing the artist’s smoch
she wears to share the glory oi
Wonderland on the campus.
At tonight’s Junior prom she']]
be swinging to Art Holman’s music
with Gale Ferris.
Coronation of Queen
(Continued from page one)
will be tapped by the black-robed
Friars, senior men’s honorary
group, and of women who will be
handed a rose as a sign they have
been chosen to Mortar Board, sen
ior women’s honorary.
Pledges of Asklepiads, pre-medic
honorary, will lend color to the
lunch hour with their antics.
Although many work-a-day cam
pus rulings will be scrapped for
the gala carnival luncheon, a few
new ones will take their places,
namely: the traditional bans on
neckties and white shoes for the
fellows. Violation by any of the
men of stringent rules against
talking to coeds will be punished
by dunking the offenders in the
lily pond near Fenton hall. Order
of the O men will enforce the
regulations.

! The Brunettes Have It
i ._
Beta’s Nick Dallas will have a
tiny fragment of royalty to take
i care of tonight, when he escorts
Princess Alyce Rogers, demure
personality girl, to the Junior
prom.
Brown-haired, blue-eyed Princess
Alyce was excited last night about
the whole matter of being a week
end ruler. “I’ve lived in Eugene all
my life and gone to almost every
canoe fete given, but I never
dreamed that I would ever be on
the other side of the millrace!”
she declared, a happy smile
wreathing her face in gladness.
A journalism major and origin
ator of the Emerald “Curb Cruis
ing’’ column, Alyce will throw off
her role of scribe today for a week
end of imaginative loveliness. She
will wear pink dotted swiss when
she sits beside Queen Maxine at
the coronation.

Announcer for
Fete Is Active
Freeman Patton, B.A., major
chosen to act as this year's canoe
fete announcer, has been active in
all types of radio work since he
came to the campus three years
ago.
Besides reading poetry two
nights a week on KORE’s “Words
and Music” program, Patton has
won much popularity as announc
er for the “Early Bird” program
on that station.
Students who sleep through 8
o’clocks might picture this lad ris
ing at 5:30 a.m., cooking his own
bacon and eggs, and walking all
the way to work to conduct a 7
o’clock program.
He batches with two roommates,
who complain that he talks in his
sleep—booms out in his announc
er’s voice and wakes them up in
the middle of the night.
Ex-President of Gamma hall,
Patton is quite well known at the
University—he takes a course in
radio production, and last year as
sisted with broadcasts here spon
sored by KOAC.
