YfloAHeA . . . GlaU Rst&mi. QUmpAe ^buokette fycviliio+vl By BOBBI BEALER Well over half of a coed’s daylight hours are spent in the class rooms, and classes are just the place to get an insight into what the average Oregon miss is wearing this season. Whoever said there was nothing new under the sun? Look around you, girls, and you may be surprised, j Helen Eickmeyer utilizes pigtails in a new way. She fastens flowers to the end of the braids, instead of wearing the usual ’ AWS Notes Looks like AWS will have its hands full for the next six weeks with preparations for the big: event, Coed Capers, with a Vic tory Girl to take the spotlight and the provision that it would be wonderful if enlisted men on the campus would be interested in helping with her selection. In other words, there’s plenty dt’ opportunity for coeds to get in the swing—in class and organi zation skits or on the plain "hard work” committees. With Gerd Hansen in the top-notch position of capers chairman, plus several others whom she will appoint for her various committee heads, this woman-powered production its toward a success. Cutie Going back to the Victory Girl —each women’s house will be put ting up one of its cutest cuties. The race will really begin to be interesting when judges narrow the group down to six finalists. Then there’s the matter of the dinner’s picture going to all for mer Oregon men now in the ser vice. Speaking of activities—besides the capers, Red Cross work is about to begin, according to Carol Wicke, in charge of campus Red Cross work. The room next to the College Side will be the scene for this action. Willing freshmen upperclassmen who haven’t learned the art of making sur gical dressings will quickly be taught by student instructors bows . . . Marcia Allen may be seen wearing her near-to-waist length hair in two braids down the back, each tied with a large plaid bow . . . Chill, No Doubt For those furnace-less morn ings, of which there will be plen ty this year, there’s nothing like a wool dress. Gloria Cartozian’s favorite is a Princess Elizabeth plaid, with full skirt gathered at the waist, and three-quarter length sleeves . . . Ann McGllli cudy prefers a chocolate brown skirt with vest to match. With it, she wears a Hawaiian print blouse of brown, green, and white. . . . And then, of course, there are the inevitable sweaters—all.,.col ors, sizes, and styles. Cashmeres are always a first choice, but guard yours with your life, for the real McCoy will be practically unobtainable for the duration. Pat Percival, lucky girl, sports a lush salmon pink one of pre-war quality . . . Lois Evans wears a subdued gold one. Lana Our award of “sweater girl” of the week goes to Alysone Hales, withv her wine and powder blue heather knit sweater. For color this winter, add the bevy of plaid topcoats which may be seen upon the campus any coolish morning— and the many and varied blazer jackets and suits seen here, there, and every where. while “old-timers” from last year will have opportunity to “roll their own.” At the University of California navy men have taken the lead in renaming the houses at which they are stationed to honor navy heroes. No Longer Is the Weather a Secret t Sure, it's a'goin' to rain again— But— % What do you care if you can own one of these MILITARY RAINCOATS made of gabardine double breasted, epaulets on shoulders, tie-belt around waist, in natural color. Its “eyes front and snap py salute when you meet one of those-smart looking coats on a smart looking girl. $8.95 and $12.95 BROADWAY* 20 and 30 East Broadway Women’s Page Staff: Carol Greening, Betty Ann Stevens, Co-editors Bobbi Bealer Marty Beard Betty Ly Siegman Monty R. • • Insomnia is a two-bit word, we’ll admit, but insomnia it is, and insomnia is the word we are going to use. So many troubles, so many worries, and us without our No Doze. We’re in a dilemma. Shall we date the Air Corps or the Engin eers ? The decisive factor is which one will be carrying the most gum. That worries us. And we’ve been reading books on the art of sitting in the Side between 9:00 and 10:30 without appearing to be picking up the soldiers. We sit there nonchalant ly. We glance around—nonchal antly. We smile—nonchalantly— at our fresh lemon coke. And any resemblance between our eye af fliction and a wink is purely co incidental. That’s what we said . . . coincidental. Hup—One—Two Won’t someone tell us why the squadron commander insists on shouting “columnah right” ? We rushed home to our varnished copy of Webster’s Most Especial ly Collegiate Dictionary. Webster cleared his throat and spake. “It’s column,” sez he. We thanked him for his profound statement. But we’re not complaining, for those columns are among the pillars of our University. vve wish someone wouiu puD lish a pamphlet ... on Tactics of Not Getting Involved With Squadrons Between Classes. We’re learning. We sneak cau tiously along from bush to bush. But then we come to an open spot and run head on to a squadron. We find that we’re leading one squadron along the sidewalk, marching along beside another, with two cutting in front of us. Not that we mind it! It’s Not Neat One more worry. We lie awake nights trying to figure out what happened to one of the iron rings which holds up the tapestry at the rear of the College Side Inn. It droops in that spot. We sit, gazing over the rim of our coke (chocolate this time—we like the fizz) and try to solve the mys tery. Was it for the scrap drive, or the missing link in a certain soldier’s watch band ? Can’t you see we’re going cra zy? Won’t somebody set us right? Does Spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Ah, insomnia! CLASSIFIED ADS READER ADS Ten words minimum accepted.

Jlijje.' cMo^xe of Social <Jlea& By BETTY ANN STEVENS It’s with quiet charm that tanned, unassuming Mary Wright carries on her duties as campus social chairman and president of Gamma Phi Beta sorority. “I’m just pretty ordinary in most all ways,” the former junior weekend princess said with a friend ly twinkle and a flash of white, even teeth. “This belonged to me last year, but it’s Virginia’s now,” smiled Mary, indicating the gaily-decorated red, white, and blue room across the hall. Virgin ia, her sister, is also outstand ng in campus activities, being se lected as “sweetheart of Sigma 2hi” last year, a member of Kwa ma, and elected to the ASUO ex ecutive council. Mary commented quietly, “I’m pretty proud of the little dickens.” Piano benches have been the only Waterloo between the two sisters. Mary laughingly revealed "hat when they were much young er elementary piano lessons found them pushing each other violent ly to the floor. Rave About the Wednesday night mixers, Mary exclaimed, “The girls just came up raving about the fun they had. I think that as time goes on . . . after this next dance ... it will get more and more like old campus life. I’m hoping that Wednesday nights will turn out like the old Wed nesday night desserts.” She ob served candidly, ::I thinK at first it didn't start out so well. How about that?” Other revelations about Mary brought out that she is a busi ness ad major, but plays the field, academically speaking . . . thinks T. Dorsey is “kind of convention al,” but likes him . . . says “yerp” instead of “yes” occasionally . . . is having a siege with dresser drawers due to over-enthusiastic painting a week ago . . . plans after graduation to “go into pub lic relations work with the air lines. Doesn’t that sound intrigu ing?” . . . and is “hobby-less.” Very much the native Califor nian, Pomona, to be exact, Mary spends her summers at the beach. "Body-surfing . . sailing . . mm!” she sighed with mock nostalgia. Since “Dad just got a new cattle ranch,” plans for next summer in clude “going down to get in some riding . . . Virginia and I.” u ssells ¥ * * In Our Book Dept.... In person ....
