Hadley 1004 Willamette UO Amphibians Carnival to Vie With Aquabelles By ADELE CANADA Billy Rose can keep his “aquabelles"; Florida its bath ing beauties r and England can have its channel swimmers; for the University of Oregon still has the Amphibians. . They're giving a show soon— The Amphibian Water Carnival. It will include exhibition life saving, diving, racing, and form swimming. But don't get the idea that this will be like one of those recitals that we used to give when we were younger to show mamma just what we had learned. This is to be real entertainment. The most difficult part of the show will, of course, be the form swimming. The largest group of swimmers is working in the waltz crawl. To be enter taining this must be done with precision; and to get precision the girls must coordinate with the music as well as with each other. At practice the waltz crawl number looked good; but then form swimming isn't hard to look at any time, and when pretty girls are doing the swim ming—well—. I'd like to invite you all to watch the practice; I can't though for the show is still a secret, so you will just have to wait until April fifteenth. SON'S navy and white formal of inch-wide stripes . . . the blouse is shirtmaker style and the cover up jacket is red grosgrain. Coeds Copy Old Vienna Old Vienna will flourish on the University campus of today with coeds being- able to dramatize themselves in several articles of clothing copied from the ladies of Johann Strauss’ day, according to the plans of John Cavanagh, jun ior week-end promotion chairman. A committee on clothing, head ed by Joan Chrystall, will inter view down-town merchants arvl get their opinions on the salability of bits of period' frivolity such as peasant aprons, "Old Vienna Bou quets,’’ delicate and flowery junk jewelry, and the dirndl skirt. Flower Styles Glamorous formals could well be copied from this era, as well as corsage idiosyncrasies that the girls of that period enjoyed such as wearing several single flowers, one at the neck and one on the skirt of the dress. A committee is also being se lected to survey campus opinion in order to find out the interest of women students in clothes of the Strauss period.
