Trinkets, Memories Return From Texas With A WSPresident Conference Delegate Elizabeth Steed Reports University Women's Conclusion About Contribution to World Situation By JOANNE NICHOLS A suitcase full of trinkets, a mind full of ideas to try out in AWS, and a heart full of wonderful memories were what Elizabeth Steed, AWS president, brought back from her recent trip to Lubbock, Texas, where she attended an AWS convention. Theme of the conference was “New Frontiers for Women,” ar.d the main conclusion reached was that women’s contribution to the present world situation will be that of munitions of the mind, she said. “Anyone can knit,” declared Miss Steed. “University women have a different role. It’s up to AWS in its organization and its program of activities to keep a stem hand on the emotional side tf>f the war and to keep academic standards up.” The conference discussed the arole of AWS in today’s changing world and the problems to be considered. A decrease in enroll ment, a change in the percentage of men to women, and a change :in the number of men on the fac ility are some of the factors to be considered. Pan - American relationships ;and campus problems were also discussed. “We got lots of won derful ideas,” Miss Steed said. ''And we were able to help them, too. Oregon’s main contribution was the recent amendment to the AWS constitution abolishing pri mary elections. “It was a lot of fun,” the AWS president stated, “and we got a :'ot out of it. I’m glad I went, but when I got home I had exactly 13 cents, and I used that to tip ;he porter.” BIG TIME In the accompanying inter view Elizabeth Steed, AYVS pres ident, tells of the adventures and thrills she and Betty Buchanan, retiring president, had on their trip to the recent AYVS conven tion in Texas. Wheezy Whistle Of Noisy Train Perturbs Profs The Oregon campus sleeps drowsily in the sunny afternoon and a quiet collegiate ca’m covers the classrooms. Professors mono logue with enervating energy. Suddenly, quite surprisingly, the quiet is broken. There is a trem ble, a whistle, and a deafening roar. A train goes by the Oregon campus. Talking quietly to his class in architectural history in the art school is dean of the school Eilis Lawrence. His students listen, take notes. Then, shaking the walls and making even thought impossible, a train passes by. The students raise their heads, the sleepers awake, Dean Lawrence retires. Filling the large assembly room in upper Villard is Instructor James Stovall’s class in human geography. The shrieking whistle halts his speech. Says air-minded Mr. Stovall, “It’s like an unruly organist, playing loudly to assert his own importance. When the train goes by, all things stop.” Guiding his English literature class in the journalism shack is Poet-Professor Ernest Moll. The thunderer passes and Professor Moll silently waits. A bored, ag grieved, yet tolerant expression crosses his face. A train goes by the Oregon campus. Jameson Speaks Dr. Samuel H. Jameson, pro fessor of sociology, will speak at a 6:30 open forum at the Com munity Liberal church Sunday. His topic will be the present day function of the church.
