What Makes Typical Oregon Sophomore?
By BOB WHITELY
Just who is going to be Joe Col
lege and Betty Coed? That ques
tion is going to have to wait until
the Sophomore Informal Saturday
night, when two people are select
ed out of the many candidates
who are competing for the title.
What constitutes the Joe Col
lege of today? His ability to
drink? to get around? to pig? to
be a typical “boomer” ?
Coed Qualifications?
What basis is Betty Coed judged
on ? Must she be a smooth dancer ?
throw out an awful line? cut a
‘ mean figure—on the campus ?
Have a face like Heddy and ac
cessories like Grable?
Going down to the “glammer
room” of the Side, several promi
nent patrons were interviewed on
the question—“What is your idea
of the perfect Betty Coed and Joe
College? Any references to per
sons in or on the campus is pure
ly co-incidental—(ed note.)
Activity Boy
Janet Farnham: “I like the type
of boy who is in all campus activ
ities and takes an active interest
in school affairs. On more of the
personal side, I like a boy who
doesn’t drive his car straight
down the convention road. De
tours come in awfully hand some
times.
Seated at the end booth were
two derelicts from the law school,
Jack Wagstaff and Jack Dunn,
still discussing the Montana foot
ball game. Neither had a state
ment to make on the matter. Both
complained of being too old to get
a date. Wagstaff added, however,
that seven or eight years ago he
voted for one.
No Knee lengths
Bob Calkins: “She shouldn’t
wear knee-length socks, or smoke
over a package of cigarets a day.
Brunette girls get my vote.”
Paul Bocci was very explicit on
the matter. “She's got to be blonde,
weigh between 114 and 120
pounds, smooth dancer and dress
er. She has to be a non-boomer
coupled with alluring beauty. And
best ot all, she’s got to have
charms—other than on her wrist.”
Jackie Jo Finney: “Smooth
dancers are enough to get my vote.
Frank Bosch: »*”$*j|*—thank
you, Frank.
Jim Bennison: ’Taint the looks,
it’s the personality that counts.
She’s got to be popular with every
one.
