QltG/UUuj, Jt&i Jio+i'iie . . . Blonde Abbie Reveals True Love Is—Music By BETTY ANN STEVENS 2098W, please—yes, 2098W.” A pause, and a rather high soft voice said, "Hello? Yes, this is Abbie Jane White. Coed of the week? Well! I’m taking care of some children over on Fairmont, but I can get away at 9:30 tonight. Shall I come over and see you?” So, at 9:30 began a very unorthodox interview in which the inter viewee, asked more questions than she answered. Blond, Gamma Phi Abbie Jane, new YWCA prexy sat on the edge of the advenport, toying with her Do-Re-Mi "Music-minded?” she asked "Oh, slightly. I mean I love mu sic, and' I started to minor in it but— Yes, I was president of Ph: Beta," she affirmed. “I play the piano, but I don’1 play any orthodox things.” She doesn't play “boogie-woogie” 01 classical, "just what I like.” Hei music teacher was “furious” with her when she tried to swing “Si lent Night” when she was in the fourth grade, she added with 6 grin. “My plans for the ‘Y’?” she asked. “Well, let’s see— There’s one thing that I’m interested ir mainly—the tea group, and the music group, and combine the two, and it seems to me that things can be just as inspiring through music. It's always most ly discussion groups.” Men? A Phi Theta, she is also a mem ber of the “Spinster’s club.” Ta the question, "How about men?” she countered with a sly twinkle, “Well, how about them? Nice people. No comment.” She admit ted an interest in man, however, as “the fellow I go with isn't in school.” As for hobbies, etc., she an announced, “I collect dust!” She then said unexpectedly, “I have a teddy bear named ‘Gladly!’ She leaned back and with a mischiev ous gleam in her eye declared, “He’s crosseyed.” For the Effect Distinctly One's Own Tiffang-Davis, Drugs 8th and Willamette 'Skipper" From a year of Phi Beta presi denting, Abbie Jane White takes over the reigns of the YMCA. More seriously, she said, “Yes, I'm a language major. I’m taking French, and lots of people seem to think it’s kind of a lost cause at this point, but I don't think so.” She’s not quite sure just what she’s going to do in the field of language, when she grad uates. A June wedding will be that of Miss Rebecca Anderson to George Stowell Burson of Fillmore, Cal ifornia. The announcement was made last weekend. The bride-elect is past presi dent of Orides, a member of Mu Phi Epsilon and of Phi Beta, mu his honoraries. She was a mem ber of Phi Theta Upsilon and this year also is senior representative on the ASUO executive commit tee. Mr. Burson is a senior in for estry at Oregon State college. The engagement of Miss Ruby Jackson to Robert B. Frazier was announced to about 30 friends at an informal tea held Saturday afternoon at the bride elect’s home. Yellow and white spring flow ers decorated the room. Receiving with Miss Jackson were her moth ers, Mrs. Joseph Jackson and the groom-elect’s mother. Both Miss Jackson and Frazier are University students. The for mer is affiliated with Chi Ome ga sorority and Theta Sigma Phq women’s national journalism honorary. Frazier is former news editor of the Emerald and a member of Sigma Delta Chi. The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do. % Wed James M. Barrie ^Ite lait l/Oosull By MARGE CURTIS Easter Sunday is the time to wear the new spring' hat you've been saving, to walk to church in clean, white and tan spectators, and to pin a flower to the lapel of your best suit or lightweight coat. All this, of course, depend ing upon the "Oregon mist." It is customary for some fra ternities to have annual Easter breakfasts, and if you should be invited to one of these, dress as you would it' you were going to church. Wearing of hats is option al, however, and is up to you and your escort. Radio dances scheduled for Saturday night call for short silks, as do theater dates. . Nino Martini sings Tuesday evening at McArthur court, and campus clothes are in order for tho concert, although it is per fectly proper to wear silks and heels if one wishes.
