Efficiency Expert Has Ideas, Then Troubles Pat Erickson, tHe diminutive bundle of efficiency who origin-' ated and has developed the Jun ior Weekend theme, “Spring time in Vienna,” is still worry ing. Her plans are completed and need only to be taken to their logical conclusion for a success ful Junior Weekend, but she sat down yesterday and started to make out a list of “things to wor ry about.” And it’s others that she’s doing her worrying for, not herself. Helps Everybody In her desire to have a perfect Junior Weekend canoe fete, she is trying to help everybody who is now having trouble straight ening out last minute detail. She lists as a worry the question that confronts some other special event committee. She wonders if all who put in time helping her have received full credit. The whole Junior Weekend has been a very personal matter to Pat, a Baker girl, who is proud that her grandparents were pio neers in eastern Oregon. It start ed when her theme was chosen as tops for the annual campus event. “I didn’t know a thing about Vienna till I won the prize,” she admits. “It startled me so to win it that I got to work right away to make it perfect in detail, if possible.” During spring vacation at her Baker home Pat met a teacher in English speech defects who had just come over from Vienna. She asked her for a little background on Vienna life. As an answer, the lady asked Pat to be her guest at a restaurant. Tn the Mood’ "As soon as we got started she ordered two cups of coffee and was sorry when the establish ment didn’t have whipped cream,” Pat relates. “Then, while we were waiting for our coffee she brought out some small cookies. The idea was that that’s what Viennese people do on almost any after noon, ^rink coffee with whipped cream in it and eat small cookies, and she wanted to get in the mood for the interview.” Pat learned from this lady that Viennese are essentially gay, light-hearted people whq like fried chicken, fireworks, and fes tivities, a tradition which has come down to the present from Johann Strauss’s time. Strauss, by the way, is the composer Pat m ■*.* chose to center her musical theme around. learns New Names Pat also learned at the restau rant that "Hans" and "Lizzy" (pronounced like "Nazi”* are significant Viennese names. These » names Pat has utilized in her Junior Weekend script. Along the line of further re search, Pat searched high and low in the campus library for in formation on Strauss. Shei se cured all the books and maga zines she could find which had anything to tell of Strauss and his work. "One thing I learned from this investigation is that there is a distinct shortage of available ma terial on Strauss,” she stated, smiling. Infuses Spirit But she did gather sufficient information to be able to serve as a virtual one-woman advisory committee to float builders who tried to infuse the Viennese and Strauss spirit into the spirit of their floats. Aside from this unofficial bus iness, Pat has worked long and arduously on the canoe fete plans in trying to get timing to come out just right, obtaining an nouncers for the event, writing script, and being-head of the en tertainment committee for the weekend. And So after Sunday, the dream of one little journalism major who came back to Oregon winter term after a year of studying the ways of teaching in La Grande, will be realized. Her idea Will have materialized into a reality. It will be no more worries or work for her for this year’s Jun ior Weekend, at least. -"Sprinjgtiihe in Vienna” Singer Will Speak Far Westminster Madame Rose McGrew, former grand opera singer and present instructor in the music school, will be the speaker for the spe cial program being presented by Westminster house for its Sunday morning worship service.
