Sum awd ShiiA.. . . "Carry on ’ A WS Aim Says Art-Major Miki Looking as though just in from a leisurely round of tennis in her white sweater and shorts, but in reality just off the Alpha Chi Omega sun porch, nerv AWS prexy Marilyn Campbell re laxed in a chair before her desk and gazed at sandal-shod feet. About AWS affairs next year, “Micki" remarked slowly. “I haven’t formulated any definite plans. Since next year is so uncertain it's kind of hard to make plans, hut we’ll carry on as itest vve can.” With a charcoal smudge on one cheek, she quite unnecessarily revealed a tendency toward the art school and being chairman of decoration committees for “lots of thing's,” besides being a mem ber of Phi Theta, Gamma Alpha Chi, advertising' honorary, and past-secretary of AWS. Sun Valley After a comment about a ski ing picture plastered on her clos et door, and another near her dressing table, Micki grinned, “Yes, I love to ski . . . Sun Val ley . . . Mount Hood . . . Timber line is my favorite. It has better rmi.3 . . . I've heard . . . I’ve never been to Sun Valley.” She added, “It’s harder to go skiing uhiv, with transportation th: way St is, so I'm concentrat ing on tennis , . . Besides, you don't get sc nvanv Sprained an kles.” ' Another picture on her'dress ing tab!? was of "a good friend of mine . . . The best picture in the house.” ‘■My canvases?” She puzzled for a moment, ‘‘Oh. they’re in th- closet. Nobody'' appreciates them. Isn’t that sad?” Various and Sundry Concerning an object hanging on the wall ... a cork helmet adorned with a flag, toy mouse, lei, and some brownish hair, Micki explained, “My brother was down in South America . . . Colombia . . . for two years, and he brought back lots of fascin ating tales. That's his hat. My roommate and I fix it up and tell a big story about it. Anything I don't know what to do with I hang on the hat." “No," she said flatly, in an swer to a question about late hours, “I don't go to bed early . , . too much going on. Besides, the freshmen cut up too much." Twang From the Middle West, Lincoln, Nebraska, until she was twelve, Portlander Micki said, “People have accused me of having a mid western twang ... of using mid dle-eastern expressions." She then told of going on a trip by herself through Mexico, Texas, the midwest, and California and coming back with an odd con glomeration of accents. Jhat she doesn't mind acquir ing accents, was emphasized by her revelation that “When I first get out of school I’d like to trav el .. . go down to South America ... go down and work or some tiling . . . and after I have a ca reer, get married.” &h Suoceil CoE.-ii.ter, my children, the lives of the great. The lords and the rulers of earth Who rose to the heights, by a battle with fate, From a low and unpromising birth. Fonder, oh reader, the truth that this lends To the legend that labor bears fruit, Though the trail be hard, you will find where it ends, There lies fortune and fame ns your loot. F. eg a: d with due study the truths that you find And I thigk your decision will be To give up ambition and make up your mind T rema.u an oblivion, like me. , , -—By Betsy Wootton.

Query: IS it Spring, or ISN'T it??? If it is, why do we have Frost every morning? If it isn’t, what is the purpose in looking as if it were??? (All this to be read very plaintively, as though suffering from consequences of Unfair, Treacherous weather.) SIGNS OF WHAT WE ARE PLEASED TO CALL SPRING: Photographer Teeter, squat ting on his heels, surrounded by a fascinated group, over by the steps of Condon, giving a fine exhibition of the subtle art of manipulating a knife in mumbly peg. . . . All the light-hearted damsels roller-skating about sans a care in the world, in the middle-of-the street, the Side, to classes, in front of the library, any old place, which indicates youthful spirits and enough sense to have acquired some roller skates be fore all this silly business about metal rationing went into effect. Dr. Sullivan's philosophy and literature class enduring damp grass one sunny afternoon, all because it is far better to learn about philosophy AND literature some place where you can go to sleep in the sun, comfortably. . . . Takes the place of the browsing room, especially on days when no one wants to stay inside, any way. . . . A few intrepid souls paddling about on the mill race in canoes. The pervasive, almost over whelming scent of freshly-mowed lawns ... to say nothing of the equally overwhelming smell (yes, smell, this time) of sulphur blown on the trees. . . . The yellow crocuses (or is it CROCI ? ? ?) and snowdrops blooming in the gardens down Thirteenth . . . and the first faint green on the lilac bushes, besides the gray green of the beginning of leaves on the magnolias. . . . Gaedi dottle Wind., Horn With Blaidi Foggy mornings are no aid for curly hair, as most Oregon coeds have found out. One of the most simple remedies for this prob lem is to wear hair in braids, many varieties of which are be ing seen around the campus: Barbara Bock wears her braids in pigtails, tied at the end with material which matches her checked skirt . . . Jean Briggs wears her hair in pompadour in front, brushed up and gathered on top of head at back . . . Glam ourous Marguerite Rissman look ing more glamourous with her hair rolled on the sides in a long roll . . . And for warm weather as well as the fog, Jean Villair fixes her tresses with a pompa dour in front, and a George Washington peruke , . . Striking Marge Curtis likes French braids for the rainy weather .. . Martha Benke adds bangs, to her pig tails . . . Teddy Nicolai rolls her dark hair in back, using heavy bone hairpins, or often wearing long braids . . . Biond Janet Sob ers keeps pace by wearing her hair off the face in front and braids down the back . . . And lovely Carolyn Loud and June Walker with reverse rolls . . . Bringing a new style into play, Mary Leigh Steele takes time to Have you TRIED to get near the tenhisc courts lately? Well, isn't finding the courts overflow ing with anxious players another sign of spring? Besides, some unfair young wo men are out practicing putting on the lawn, just sort of looking ahead to their first golf game of the season when they can make all the other players look like people just out of hibernation, while they wrill resemble happy souls who have spent the winter at Palm Springs . . . playing golf. So far, it’s been a TRIFLE chilly for any extensive sun bath ing . . .
