' <74e Jtcuti Wowi By MARGE CURTIS .1 A "short but sweet” spring term draws to a close with but one mere weekend of social do ings before coeds exchange for mats and date dresses for slacks aiKi comfortable studying clothes. Saturday night brings another formal Mortar Board and the mere fortunate campus males will be royally entertained by the fairer sex. The majority of wo men’s houses are planning dinners before the dance, AWS is spon soring its annual flower sale, and the gals are robbing penny banks to provide the required cokes, transportation, coat checks, and what not. Remember to extend to your date all the courtesies to which you would feel entitled—• opening doors, assisting him with his coat, furnishing cigarets et all. ■^Suits and heels should prove popular at the Eugene Gleemen's concert Sunday in McArthur court, but, as we’ve said before, campus clothes are perfectly ac ceptable for such affairs—with the exception of wooden shoes! And that’s —30— for this year! —By Marge Curtis Yr UNIFORM EQUIPMENT In uniform or out—every woman needs an accurate watch ... to save time for America's all-outwareffort. See our wide selection.

Little 'Ruthie ’ Hall Has No Rule--Gets Success By BETTY ANN STEVENS Previous to meeting Coed of the Week, Ruth Hall, the tenta tive theme cf the interview was to be “The Private Life of a Phi Bete” or "Secrets of a Brain,” but small, unassuming “Ruthie” immediately dispelled any such false impression, as she led the way up to “third” of the Kappa house. Seated on the edge of the couch, she hastily explained, “This isn't my room. I lived here for a month at the beginning of the term, but I'm living at home now.” Authority That she has more than an air of quiet authority was confirmed by her admission that she held the presidency of her house last year, was Panhellenic president, in WAA, an Amphibian, an on the AWS council, besides making Phi Beta Kappa—“That was the biggest surprise of my life. I can’t get over it yet,” she ex claimed. “Our five Phi Betes? I think it’s phenomenal. I’ve never heard of such a thing!” She paused, then added, “Of course they took in a lot more this year. Maybe that's what accounts for it.” “My formula for academic suc cess?” She impulsively giggled, then said, “I don’t know—it's sort of up to the individual. I’m sure I’m no authority—Just work out a study program.” Displaying a Phi Delt pin be side her Kappa key, “Doug Da vid.” She admitted that she got it Sunday night. ; Fins “Freshmen taking pins? Now listen—I’m no authority! Don’t quote me on that,” she remon strated laughlingly. “My childhood? Well, ahem!” She chuckled mischievously, “I caught a fish once. I was so. ex cited I couldn't stand it.” She went on, “I used to be a girl scout.” “Making fire with sticks?” she answered. “No, it rained jthat day.” Being a girl scout was a help, for she was a camp counselor for one summer. “People?

He hates to trouble you but would you mind slipping these things in your pocket (holding out a bunch of junk)? Sororities are entertaining at formal dinners before the dance. As Joe walks into the Igloo (first) he realizes he has an op portunity to get more than a fleeting glimpse of a program. He probably hasn't really read one since last Mortar Board un less he was on the committee for the dance raising funds for Bundles for Greek How.
