Coed oj ike Week
Executive CmeAaldite
Jlikei. ^leetekMXff /Idi
Teetering precariously back and forth in her swivel chair
in the Emerald office, executive “Liz” Edmunds propped her
wooden shoes on the half-opened desk drawer and read, “Please
send up one copy as listed below ...” then broke off swiftly to the
muttering advertising manager with, “Do you want to whip up
one of those and slip them in one of these envelopes?”
Career
The blonde Dee Gee teetered foi
a space longer, then glanced up,
smiling. "Advertising as a profes
sion? We-ell, you have to start out
at the bottom . . . just copy-writ
ing . . . just layouts ... or just
selling. I don’t know. I like this be
cause I do everything.”
A Eugene girl . . . "on the same
corner as the Tri-Delt house, only
a block south,” Liz is a member of
Mortar Board, Beta Gamma Sigma,
president of Gamma Alpha Chi,
and was last year a member of
Phi Theta Upsilon, rising to her
Emerald post of business manager
from the advertising manager’s
position.
To "Other nicknames?” Liz re
plied, with a twinkle, "Yeah, it de
pends on their mood.”
She was born at The Dalles, but
moved to Gardiner shortly after
ward. A novel, "Dr. Mallory,” por
trays her family and the other res
idents of old Gardiner. "I can’t re
member the name of the author,”
Liz confesses.
The navy has an attraction in
that she’s been trying to apply for
the WAVES as an officer candi
date but glasses prevent. "I was
originally going back on a mer
chandising scholarship, but I gave
that up,” she shrugged. "Then
Ames and Padg are going back
too. I really have no idea, though,
what I’m going to do.” she con
cluded decisively.
Hot Dorg
Liz likes "to go places. Hot
dorg! Summer before last I hopped
in a station wagon with five other
people and went back to New
Hampshire, and the year before
that I went to Colorado . . . Estes
park . . . for a week . . . and the
year before that to California.”
This spring vacation she’s spend
ing at the beach. "Hot dorg! I
hope there are mobs of people
down at Seaside. Hot dorg!”
Getting places on skis has its
handcaps for Liz, however. One
time at dusk on Timberline, "the
hills all flattened out and I fell 15
feet"on my nose.” At another time
she skied for three days on a
sprained ankle.
OfiAelia
Obiesio&i
Big boomer girl, Ophelia. Voted
for one of the lovelies for King of
Hearts . . . went 100 per cent.
Gorgeous lost by one vote . . .
should have gone 200 per cent.
Live and learn.
Friday night, Ophelia followed
the little red hearts all over the
campus, mashed herself into a
door ... a house! Had Greek let
ters on it . . . Ophelia ran home
for her pin-striped toga ’n turban
. . . rushed back muttering madly
in Greek. All was well . . . for five
minutes.
King Spat
Then she spotted the king of her
heart . . . whispered to him, (meg
aphone and all) that if she’d voted
just once more . . . someone broke
a record. It was “I’ll Be Around”.
Ophelia’s timbei’s shivered in her
toga. She straightened her turban
and felt for her ears . . . still there
. . . quite prominently. Heard a
slight thud . . . bent down and
collected an eyelash. Too much
. . . Ophelia marched toward the
door with a military escort . . .
who left her just outside. Wanted
to go cover Matrix Table. Just a
hound at heart . . . news hound.
Impossible . . . would have to go
back two hours. Another case of
too little and too late.
Ophelia’s Day
Battled her way into the Dee
Gee house for the coronation,
stood on tiptoes, everybody stood
on tiptoes . . . jumped up and
down, everybody jumped up and
down. Started a fast game of fol
low-the-leader. Energetic evening.
Got up bright and too early Sat
urday morning . . . special request
of local gestapo. Tumbled down
stairs to help decorate for house
dance . . . not so good at tumbling
anymore. Tripped on crepe paper,
kicked in a light . . . was asked to
sit down in a corner ... a far
corner. Couldn’t find one by that
name but sat down anyway. Enter
Milk for springtime vitality. For that “get up and go'’
feeling drink lots of milk.

tained girls . . . whistled through
her teeth and wiggled her ears.
Just a riot!
I Cover the House Dance
Took a time-out to take in the
ASTU-Air Corps basketball game.
Close game, fast-moving . . . some
one told her the Air Corps lost.
Dashed back to her house for the
dance. Should have steered a little
to the starboard . . . stepped into
a ghost house. Ophelia shuddered
at the eerie atmosphere. Someone
shuddered at Ophelia. Thetas made
with the scares in a huge way.
Walked over Chi Omega way . . .
ogled the saronged hat check girls.
Someone hulaed . . . Ophelia wig
gled out. Headed smack into
“Stormy Weather” around the
general vicinity of the Pi Phi house
. . . talked to some character for
300 seconds before she realized it
was a ghoul . . . very realistic.
Dark all over, closer her eyes and
found the door . . . opened ’em . . .
champagne glasses and top hats
all over the place . . . Went out the
door, walked in again ... oh yes,
the Dee Gee house.
Bubbled gayly around ’til some
one threatened to take a swig . . .
pardon, swing. But there were still
the Tri-Delts, Gamma Phis, etc.,
etc. Ophelia sat down and looked
for her feet . . . couldn’t find ’em.
Stumped home.

cial flowers, and Marilyn Sage in
black silk with a lovely v-neck.
Bright Colors j
Plenty of color in Alla Loomis' j
bright purple silk crepe with ruf- j

white print on black background.
Blazing the way around the cam

suit with a blazer jacket. Nannette
Holmes in brown and white check

jaunty kelly green chesterfield.

very striking in a red wool coat
with clipped beaver trim, and
speaking of coats how about Joan

Don't forget this afternoon at l
p. ill. you have a date with AWS
for the annual winter assembly in
the music auditorium. The pro
gram promises to be interesting
with Acting President Orlanco J.
Hollis speaking on "The Present
Day Coed." and Marine Sergeants
L. L. Pittenger and Adaline Franks
telling of women in the marines
and what this branch of the serv
ice has to offer prospective re
cruits. Mortar Boards will offer a
skit, and Oregon State AWS cab
inet members will be introduced.
Elections
Of equal importance is the
Thursday assembly when new
AWS as well as WAA and YWCA
officers will be elected. Adding a
little more interest to the occasion
is the fact that no one (except
the senior nominating committee)
knows who the new candidates are
thus making the elections as fair
as possible. Names of these new
candidates will be read off and im
mediately voted upon at 11 a. m. in
Gerlinger hall. Mild Campbell,

End of an Enemy
In a split second this enemy plane will be blasted
from the skies by a shell from one of our anti
aircraft guns on the ground.
. How can a gun hit a plane going 300 miles an
hour 20,000 feet up.. .when it takes the shell 5
seconds to get up there and in that time the plane
has gone more than a mile? Besides, the shell
curves in its flight. Wind blows it. Gravity pulls
on it. Even the weather affects its velocity.
The answer is the Gun Director- an electrical
brain which aims the guns. Swiftly it plots the
plane’s height and course. Instantly it solves the
complex mathematical problem continuously
matching the curved path of the shell to that of.
the plane so the two will meet. It even times the
fuse to explode the shell at the exact instant.
The electrical Gun Director has greatly increase
the deadliness of anti-aircraft gunfire, jin its devel
opment at Bell Telephone Laboratories and its
production at Western Electric, college trained
men and women have played important parts.
