Marjorie Major Goodwin was
packing, with her mind on other
things than either packing or
being interviewed, and her talk
was abstract, which is unlike
“M.M.” Goodwin.
“Wear my hair in a chignon?'’
the weary Emerald editor par
ried, “No, not now , . . maybe
later, when I get up the nerve. I
decided last summer that mar
riage was going to cause me to be
sedate, but not now.’’
“M.M.’’ was married to Pfc.
Ted Goodwin, of the ROTC “at

green orchids, and the censored
old taxi was 15 minutes late, and
my sister was so excited she
cwallowed a needle, and Ted
walked down the street saying
Merry Christmas to everyone.”
Sibelius
The talk turned abruptly to
music, and her record collection,
said "Major,” as she is known by
the shack-rats, "I think music is
better than going to sleep when
you want to rest. Sibelius is best
. . . then Beethoven, because he's
a modernist and I like the mod
ernists. There’s no other composer
like him. Well, that’s the truth,
doggone it,” she twinkled defiant
ly.
Marjorie started out on the
Emerald as a night staff and copy
desk worker, gradually working
up to drama beat and educational
activities reporter, writing poetry,
short stories, and plays, then
women’s editor, editorial staff,
and editor, all of which netted her
Mortar Board, Pot and Quill,
Theta Sigma Phi, and Ted, who
she met on the night staff.
No Coasters
“The type of person I admire
is the one who isn’t just riding;
a roller coaster through life, who
stops to think and be affected by
things. That's what college does
for you,” she said.
Major’s "bad habit is biting her
fingernails. “It’s bad because I’m
so thorough about it. In writing
my thesis, I bit them all off first
so I wouldn’t be distracted,” she
admitted, toying with a bottle of
perfume.
A sudden crash . . . “Ye gods!,”
she shrieked. “ ‘Skylark,’ my
Christmas present,” and stretch
ed out flat on the floor, worriedly
picking up the pieces. “Censored!”
was her precise exclamation.
“Well, don’t look so smug,” she
accused. “I didn’t mean to do that
for reader interest.”

Coeil of the Week . . .
I'm a Eugenean from way back
but I was born in Butte, Montana,
and my little sis and I are always
being mistaken for one another.”
She teetered on the suitcase, fin
ally sitting on it in her efforts
to close it.
Ah, Oregon
“And I wish it would rain too,
because it’s too cold, which isn’t
interesting, but that’ s what I
think. Because when it’s cold and
foggy my hair falls, and you get
all tense and can’t work, and I
like rain because you wear ker
chief s and relax. My husband
doesn’t like kerchiefs, incidental
ly.”
Editorial Comnient
Asked to comment upon the
slight maelstrom caused by one
editorial at the first fall term,
“M.M.” said wryly, “It was kind
of a mess, but it certainly got a
lot of letters to the editor. It’s fun
to read them over now.’’
She likes being an editor be
cause ’’I like working with the
student leaders and finding out
how things run. It’s hard some
times to see that there's any use
in it because you get tired. In
fact,” she continued, "That's the
main reward of being' editor of a
paper, because it isn't glamorous.
Concerning future plans, “Ma
jor” is indefinite, since “Teddy’s
coming back to school and well
be here, but eventually I know
that I’m going to write ... I
mean . . . you know.”
Boompsey-Da isy
The most fun she ever had was
with her sorority sisters one Fri
day night sitting' on the top of the
third-floor stairs and taking turns
bumping down to the second floor.
Main relaxation is laughing,
“even sometimes when there isn't
anything to laugh at.”
