Traveler Plans to Live
On Washington Farm
By MARY ANN CAMPBELL
From the University of Oregon’s amiable undergraduate atmos
phere to Hitler's Germany, India, the Orient, and New York, may
seem a considerable distance, but Nancy Wilson Ross, guest speaker
at Theta Sigma Phi’s matrix table tonight, and author of "Take the
I-ightning,” has managed to cover all this territory and more, too.
When she graduated from the University’s school of journalism
In 1924, Mrs. Ross went east and
spent several years in New York,
writing articles on various phases
of the aits for national magazines.
In 19112, she published her first
novel, “Friday to Monday,” and
that same year she and her hus
band, who is an architect, went
to Europe and lived for a time in
Dessau, Germany. It was here that
she wrote an article for the .Sat
urday Evening Post, “A German
Mainstreet,” in which she foretold
Hitler's rise to power. Tt was for
this article she was put on the
German list of “dangerous for
eigners.”
Washington Farm
She and her husband have re
cently bought a farm in Washing
ton near Hood's canal, which they
found after wandering all over
the United States in a trailer
searching for the best place to
build a home. They spent some
time in the southwest, as Mrs.
Ross is interested in Indians and;
their customs. The land in Wash
ington, which they finally chose
because Mrs. Ross is a native of
Olympia, Washington, is about GO
acres ami is on three levels. The
top one, where the barn that Mr.
Ross uses as a studio stands, is
farm land; the second level, where
the house will be, is an old orchard,
and the third is a long sandy
beach.
Mrs. Ross was a member of
Theta Sigma Phi and belonged to
Pot and Quill while she was in
school here.
Law Book Talks Set
A series of lectures on the use
of law books will be given during
this week by Carlton B. Putnam,
representative of the West Publish
ing company. Mr. Putnam, annual
lecturer at the law school, visits
all the law schools west of the
Mississippi river at least once a
rear.

Blaze Her Trail
By PHYLLIS FOSTER
With attention being paid this
week to outstanding women stu
dents on the campus, and a num
ber of invitations issued for to
night's Matrix Table, some inter
esting information has come to
light concerning coeds who have
graduated and found their places

—deserve a few orchids. While
glancing through records of the
placement of Oregon graduates,
one finds that women are finding
careers in every branch of civic
life.

national advertising company, and
during the summer had charge of
the Standard Oil company’s sign
boards on which she U3ed Walt
Disney’s animations and jingles.
In Sacramento, San Jose, and
San Francisco one may see “Dis
play by Kaye"; these are designs
of all types especially jewelry
stores’ windows, and the designer
