'Swell Disposition' Wins Week’s Laurels For Barbara Pierce By CORINE VVIGNES The principal of Salem high marched down the aisle and com manded the shrinking youth to return the damsel's shoe! That damsel is now a prominent University junior. She is 20 years old, a vivacious blue-eyed brunette, five feet six inches tall, very friendly, and an interesting conversationalist. To sum it all up, she possesses a charming personality. Her major is sociology, and she is a member of Pi Beta Phi. Her name? Yes, it is Barbara Pierce. Barbara came here with the idea of mixing her social life with “book learning." She does not like to see a student go to college only for amusement, but thinks also that a student who does not par ticipate in extracurricular activi ties is losing part of his education. She has succeeded very well in the standards she set for herself. When a sophomore she was a mem ber of Kwama, vice-president of her class, sergeant-at-arms of AWS, and co-chairman of the AWS carnival. She is a member of Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women's honorary, and has been active in numerous activities such as canoe ing, golfing, rifle, and the Amphib ian club. Spinach is one of her favorite foods which perhaps accounts for her ability in sports. Early Practice Barbara started her target prac ticing when in junior high school. One day as she was skillfully aim ing snowballs at various objects, her teacher's head obstructed the snowball’s air-route, and it whizzed by his ear. Barbara was called into the office, but was not discour aged, and finally has become very skilled in the art. Just as she finished narrating this little story, Barbara jumped from her chair, and dashed madly for the door. A bee, the “root of the evil” was promptly swatted. Our co-ed confessed a slight fear of spiders also. “I have no definite opinion on the boys,” said Barbara, “but I like fellows who are a lot of fun and possess amiable personalities. His appearance is not a major fac tor in my estimation.” “Personalities” Hobby Barbara is not content just to possess a fine disposition, but the study of the personalities of oth ers is one of her chief hobbies. She dislikes superficiality in peo ple, and admires those who really know how to get the most out of a college education. ‘T’ve just always planned to go to college,” she answered when asked how she made up her mind to come to the University. She is specializing in child welfare, and after graduation wants to travel a while, then get a job in that type of work. This popular coed makes friends' easily, and named “contact with students” as part of the college life she likes best.

In fact the wea ther has been so nice this last week we find it very hard to buc kle down to the mid-term season, during which much studying is necessary. Let's hope it stays this way, however, for the weekend and the Washington State game. And may the Oregon coeds who did not heed the advice of wearing campus clothes to the Gonzaga game profit by their past expert* ence. Girls in fur coats not only looked out of place in the grand stand—but must have felt very uncomfortable when the sun sent forth its beautiful rays -and we all began to fan our brows. Informal ity is a wonderful idea for sport occasions. Going Too Far But there is such a thing as carrying this idea too far. Chang ing all the traditional formal cam pus dances to sport affairs is a bad sign. Many of the women are up in arms about it too. After all, school clothes are worn six days in the week and the only chance one has to dress in finery is on Friday or Saturday evenings and Sundays. Is it a sign of youth becoming too lazy to dress for an occasion, disinterest, or do they really dis like dress affairs ? Some of us feel that perhaps a disinterested or “sloppy" few decide on the dance and the rest of the 3700 must fol low. Why should the traditional long dresses and dark suits idea for the Soph Informal be changed ? Why not have the annual Homecoming dance, one of the largest affairs of the year, an occasion for students and alumni to appear in and at their best? It’s good for us to dress up once in a while. Gives us a new slant on Tea Honors | Chaperons A large formal reception honor- j ing the nine new housemothers on j the Oregon campus this year was given by Heads of Houses Wed nesday afternoon from 4 to 6 ; o'clock in Alumni hall in Gerlin ger.

We’re not trying to say that all campus functions should be for- j mal, because there are many danc- j es which are rightfully sport—but j that is no reason to make them { all that way. Speaking for the women, most Oregon girls like the formal cam- | pus dances best of all, and formal ] “first-nighter” productions of the ; Guild theater.
