Junior Weekend Garb
Coeds to Go Oriental
By JOANNE NICHOLS
Colorfully carrying out the “Arabian Nights” theme will be the
campus coed’s uniform Junior Weekend costume, which will consist
of a bright peasant skirt with a contrasting sash, a full-sleeved blouse,
and perhaps gay costume jewelry to suggest an Oriental atmosphere.
The Junior Weekend court will have two official outfits, an informal
one for daytime wear and more formal attire for evening. Dressed
in true Arabian style will be the
prime minister, escorts, and other
important male members of the
court, whose garb will out-sultan
any Oriental potentate, Indian
rajah, or Persian shah.
Phi Theta Upsilon, junior wo
men’s service honorary, in charge
of the uniform dress, will visit
all houses Friday and Saturday
noons to explain the tradition and
emphasize the importance of con
forming to it.
Members of the traditions com
mittee in charge of tradition en
forcement and renew'al are Mary
Schedler and Elliot Wilson, co
chairmen, Boyd Lee, John
Schreiner, and Ben Wohler.
A field trip to Mary’s peak,
near Corvallis, is planned for the
general geology class Sunday.
The group will leave at 8:30 Sun
day and return about 5 p.m.
Anyone interested is invited to
go on the trip, but each must ar
range for his own transportation.
Each student will need a lunch
and a pair of rough shoes for
the excursion.
Stitzer Would
Prefer to See
Leap by Court
Kent Stitzer, Emerald news ed
itor, demands “man-bites-dog”
news, and nothing less than that
impresses him.
When someone commented
what a good story it was to have
Les Steers, Oregon's famed high
jumper, jump over the Junior
Weekend court, Stitzer only
grunted.
“Huh!” he scoffed. “The good
stunt would be to have the Junior
Weekend court jump over Les
Steers.”
Bill Hayward is being consult
ed.
A Greek yase of the early
fourth century B. C. has been
placed above the bronze tablet
in the Burgess collection room on
the first floor of the library.

back while skirts were still long,
when she decided to honor the
graduating women and their jun

morning.
This year, skirts are definitely
more brief, but the annual Li oak-*

shrunk, so that it will be heldl
