LIBRakt CAMPUS Committee Proposes Cheap Class Cards Coeds Vote Approval of AWS ‘Reform’ Constitutional Changes Made At Assembly Amendment Plans To Delete Politics; Speed Elections By HELEN ANGEIX Unanimous support of assembled women students was accorded yes terday to the Mortar Board-spon sored amendment to the AWS con stitution, designed to remove the “political alignment” period be tween nominations and elections of coed officers. Meeting at 4 o’clock in Villard hall, the quorum of women voters decided to change another part of the AWS constitution besides the previously publicized reform. The additional change moves the new nomination-election meeting, at which candidates for women's of fices are made known by the offi cial nominating committee and voted on immediately, from the fourth to the third week preceding winter term examinations. The constitution as amended does away with the period of one week between nominations and ac tual elections. The change was de signed to remove chances for form ing of coed political groups in the interim. The reformed constitution places this year’s elections of AWS, WAA, and YWCA officers for the week of February 17. Joanne Riesch, president of WAA and Mortar Board member, presented the proposed reform to the mass meeting. She explained in detail the actual change to the constitu tion and the far-flung effects which such a reform could set in motion, urging coed politicians to back the plan fairly. President Betty Buchanan was in charge of the meeting, the first mass assembly of Oregon women this term. i YMCA Board to Meet To Elect Advisers YMCA advisory board members will meet today to elect six new members to the board from a list Df possible advisers submitted by the “Y” executive cabinet.

Swarthout Coming Star Tells Beauty Tips By MILDRED WILSON Gladys Swarthout, the operatic star who blows soap bubbles for sound lungs, and does wall-walk ing exercises to slenderize her hips —has her beauty routine down to a delightful science. Miss Swarth out will sing at McArthur court next Tuesday evening in a concert open to all University students on their educational activities card. Considered one of the most beau tiful women on the stage today, Miss Swarthout is a firm believer in every woman taking a night off once in a while for nerve repairs— and beauty resurrection. No Dinner First, according to Miss Swarth out’s routine, begin by going with out dinner. “Skipping an occasion al meal, especially when you are over-tired, is good for looks. How ever, if too hungry to fast, you may allow yourself a dish of stewed fruit, a piece or two of Melba toast and a glass of milk,” she recommended. Rise, Pat, Dry “Finally, rise from the bath, pat yourself dry, bathe your eyes with a soothing lotion or cool water, go to a wide open window and breathe deeply for a few moments and then go to bed and sleep for ten or twelve hours,” Miss Swarth out advised. Simple as it is, Miss Swarthout takes her own advice—and it evi dently works.
