Mrs. Van Loan Tells AWS Members of Careers, Students Told Of Qualities Women Need Speaker Points Out Value of Ability, Interest, Aptitude Any woman who has the ability, interest, and aptitude can just about take up any career she chooses, said Mrs. Wendell Van Loan, assistant director of the, Eu gene vocational school who spoke at the AWR assembly Thursday. Introduced by Betty Buchanan, president of AWS, the speaker im mediately began to enumerate the steps that girls should take who are seeking careers. She urged the girls to first take mental and phys ical stock of themselves, to look within and see what their poten tialities were, to see whether they were interested in other people’s problems. Choosing Careers She said that above all a woman should choose a career in which she wih oe happy. "If you’re to serve other people well, you must take stock of your self, and serve yourself too,” she emphasized. There are so many occupations for women today that it is not nec essary for them to choose some thing for which they are not phys ically able, Mrs. Van Loan declared. She mentioned architecture and medicine as fields which hold pro mise for women. “The more the handicaps of a certain field for women, the better her career,” the vocational expert said. ‘Men’s Work' Fields which are considered men's fields are women's too, she said. Mrs. Van Loan suggested that those who were interested read “Tools of Tomorrow,” a new book which tells about inventions, archi tecture, and the opportunities for women in that occupation. “If we go into war,” she de clared, “of course women will have to go into the fields where they are needed. And if a war comes, T'm sure we’ll do more than our part as American women always have done. "After you’ve chosen your ca reer,” said the speaker, “you must think of something else; women have a double career.” Home-mak ing is a big responsibility, she stressed. “The women in the home make the decisions in every field, and it is they who form men’s opinions on the intelligence of wo men." Suggested Courses “I think that every girl should take courses in home-making from the time she enters high school, and then take at least two years of it in college,” said Mrs. Van Loan. “The greater part of wisdom is to be prepared.” After Mrs. Van Loan's speech, the Mortar Board plaque was pre sented to the three sophomores who had the highest scholarship last year. They were: Leona La Duks, Marjorie Sawyer, and Louise Ber ing. The Alpha Chi Omega trio sang at the assembly and Lillian Davis presented the sleep-walking scene from Macbeth.

Hoyman Says Ducks (Continued from page one) However, several new stars shine brightly on Oregon’s watery hori zon. “Cub" Callis, transfer from Fullterton jaysee, is an excellent backstroke and freestyle varsity prospect according to Hoyman. Stu Randall, who came to Oregon in '39 from Annapolis and thus was ineligible last year, will swim with Jim Marney in the 50 and 100 yard free style event. Another group of dark horses whose dark coloring may wash off in the hot water of competition, in cludes Ralph Davis, Bill Spitz, Rob ert Collinson, Dick Allen, Tom Cor bett, and Harold Chung-Hoon.

The following night Oregon runs up against Duquesne univer sity in Pittsburgh, and the night after will see the Ducks opposing the University of Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland. With two days off for a quick hop west to Peoria, Illinois, Oregon plays Bradley Tech in the armory there, the windup game of the tour series. Third Duck Trek Third consecutive transconti nental jaunt made by an Oregon hoop team, this year's will be stripped of some of the whirlwind of ballyhoo trailing and stirring up ahead of last year’s national cham pions as they hauled across the country. Two pre-season setbacks mar the Webfoots’ slate, a 41 to 45 thumping by a Signal Oil quin tet, and a 40 to 47 dunking at the hands of Rubenstein’s Oregonians, However, time, plus experience gained on this journey will prob ably enable Hobson to mold a "chasis” capable of standing the gaff, bolt on an “engine” with cor rect firing power, and turn out a product able to hold its own when Pacific coast competition rolls around in January. Dr. Jewell to Speak Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean of the school of education, left yester day for Lebanon where he will speak at a mass meeting of the people. The meeting is sponsored by the Lions’ club to create inter est in Lebanon's new school pro ject.
