Youngest Student Admits That Age Is Teasing Point (Continued from page one) graduated in 10. In Louisiana, her native state, the first seven years are devoted to grammar school and four more to high school; there is no junior high. To Pat’s knowledge, only five states have that system of education. In addi tion. she skipped a grade — the 10th, which would correspond to the junior year in Oregon schools. “I didn’t skip any subjects, just the grade,” Pat explained, adding that she took senior courses and earned more than enough credits to graduate. Rosy-cheeked Pat finds Ore gon's lack of sunshine “most de pressing.” “Every time the sun ■comes out. I just laugh and have a grand time," she twinkled. Pat says that Louisiana rains differ markedly from Oregon’s “heavy dev/" “When it rains there it pours cats and dogs, rabbits, and everything you can think of," she said. “It rains hard up here some times, but it's usually a drinkle." ‘Drinkle' ‘Trinkle," it seems, is a word circulating on the Louisiana State University campus, where Pat at • tended University high. The word means a cross between a sprinkle and a drizzle. Nevertheless, the jolly lo-year old likes the Oregon campus ev ery bit as well as that at L.SU. She was a little surprised, she said, to find Oregon as large as it is; she had expected “just a lit tie school.” Pat deplores the fact that there are no sorority houses in Louisiana, although fra ternities a:e allowed. Enthusiastic about her studies, Pat likes chemistry, enjoys get ting into arguments in math. She hopes to be a psychiatrist when she finishes her higher education. “I haven't figured it out yet.' but T think they’ll put me through medical school before I’m 21." she bubbled, mentioning that medical students are now being rushed through their courses a year quicker. ‘Southern’ Oayl 5 feet Ly inches tall, Pat i3 little on the chubby side; thinks she has gained extra poundage since she came to Gre gor. Rolling her “r’s" softly, the y ngost student said that she h ' a hard time getting people to nr. ; ‘t stand her when she first came u;) north because she slurred her words so much. Afthough she still relapses into a “sho’nuff” southern accent when she forgets, Pat is disap poi: ted to find herself losing her Louisiana drawl. “I had rather wanted to keep it," she said re gie* fully. Pat’s home town is Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana. "1 lways add that it’s the capi tal/' she remarked,- “because peo ple always ask. ‘Where is that from New Orleans?' It's 77 miles north." No ‘Louise-lana’ Ti e bright-eyed freshman hates to Lear people mispronounce the name of her native state. South erners give a certain twist to the fir- vowel sound, pronounce it al most like in “good.” It isn’t pro nounced ‘Louise-iana,’ regardless of v hat Mr. Webster says to the contrary," Pat declared emphat ically. Tiie youngest duckling likes sports, especially tennis and ar chery, and loves to read. She also lik Oregon’s wooden elompers. "I hadn’t seen them before I cam to Oregon in Eugene—eiy I mean to Eugene in September, Pa; said, her slip with words making her pink cheeks even pink u\ H *r two dimples flashing to the surface. Pat said she likes the trie ily Oregon spirit, because • Do a south we're really what you’d call aristocratic. If you aren’t born in a certain class, you have a hard time getting in. In school,” she continued, “you get the idea that the West is some thing of an uncivilized place — ‘wild and woolly’ I think they call it. I never really thought that be cause my folks were Oregonians.” Both of the duckling’s parents attended the University, and her grandfather, the late Herbert C. Howe, taught in the school of arts and letters. “He taught Shake speare, lit survey, Wordsworth, and stuff like that,” Pat said. Pat rocked back and forth in a comfortable chair, as she ex plained that brown and green are her favorite colors because of her dark auburn hair. She remembers when her long locks were carrot red. Her hair changed color when she was in the eighth grade. The worst part of being so young for her class, she thinks, is that “Peo ple expect much more from me. They think I am superhuman or something.” ATO Cagemen (Continued from page jour) plays to dunk the orphan Chi Psi points. Most of the time, though, they lost the ball when they got near Tau territory. Their passing was sloppy, and their stray tosses from far out were wide of the cords. Phi Delts Stagger Along The Phi Delts stayed right in the thick of the “B” league scramble by pounding out a vic tory from a game, but small and outnumbered Pi Kap outfit. The Phi Delts kept running men in and out of the game, and soon wore down the outmanned Pi Kups. Doc Hayes was the lead ing PDT luminary, garnering 9 points, while Tom Terry played his usual clumsy, but effective game under the basket. Bob Yancy tanked G for the Pi Kaps, and led his men in battling the larger Phi Delts. Alpha hail crawled past a luckless co-op, 15 to 9, in the windup game. It was slow and sloppy, and seldom even got rough. George Halloman got 8 counters to provide the of fen sire margin for Alpha, while “Red Ryder” Randall fired it up under the basket to keep the game from going to sleep on its feet. Another redhead, Kirk Wellborn, kept Campbell in the game by teaming up with Paul Thurston to account for all of the Co-op points. It finally dragged out to end, 15 to 9. Polio Fund Boost (Continued from page five) quist, forwards; Jack Hannam. center; and A1 Popick and Sam my Crowell, guards. It is possible that Paul Floquet, a hard driving guard who has shown well in practice recently, may start the game, and is certain to see plenty of action.

Little Colonel Deadline Set Beauty-conscious Webfoots will once more pick a queen when Scabbard and Blade, military honorary, chooses its little colo nel and her staff from the candi dates of each women’s living or ganization. Owing possibly to the emergen cy and time of stress, the little colonel will be chosen without re gard to class or GPA. In past years this honor was bestowed only on a junior girl. The GPA clause was written in after the military men say that other or ganizations had placed beauty, personality, and activity, at the top of their search fur attributes. Warning Ken Bowes, chairman of the contest, announced that by 5 o’clock Thursday each women’s organization must have entered a candidate in order to be con sidered for honorary command at the Military ball. The little colonel will have a staff of officers ranking accord ing to the vote of the Scabbard and Blade judges. Pageantry The dance, set for February 21, will feature Scabbard and Blade’s pledging, the grand march of of ficers and their ladies through the arch of sabers and the decor ation of the little colonel and her court. Color will prevail with ad vanced course ROTC students wearing their dress uniform and formats for civilians. Blessed Event Mr. and Mrs. Harlow E.
