CAROL WICKE . . . . . . and the Red Cross charter. Cabal ^ilidee . . . (led Cbodd CUai/imaK (lemembebl Pol, Palmi ^ By MARGUERITE WITTWER Brown-skinned native girls in colorful sarongs kneeling on the ground under the palm trees making poi, lithe boys paddling swift outboard canoes on the blue water, ginger blossoms and gardenias everywhere in profuse bloom, all at the Alpha Delta Pi house. No, it isn’t another dream of the lady in the dark, those are just the print designs on Carol Wicke’s housecoat.

Carol would do all right in a "grabs skirt, too; while going to Maui schools she took nine years of dancing lessons including every thing from tap to the native hula. “I love to dance but not in front of an audience, although for a while I thought I’d be a dancing teacher. Now Im studying language here but I don’t have any definite plans about what I'll do when I graduate except go back to Hawaii. You just, can’t plan anything now. I've con sidered going into the cadet nurse corps but I want to go home first; it'll be four years since I've seen my parents. Pearl Harbor -*“‘‘1 was sitting in my room here that December 7 when one of the girls burst in and said the Japs were attacking Pearl Harbor. ‘That isn’t a very good joke.’ I said. “It’s true!’ she answered and I spent the rest of the day sitting by the radio waiting for more bulle tins to come in. I cabled Mother that I wanted to come home ini FOR THE MAN IN THE SERVICE SEE OUR DISPLAY kljiistonfe JEWELRY STORE 620 Willamette mediately but she said it would be safer to stay in school. ... It wasn’t long before I wanted to do something to help so when Caro line Holmes started a course for Red Cross instructors I got inter ested in that and just stuck to it.” Carol came to the University because she wanted to go to a school away from home and the usual things but still she wanted a contact with the islands. The Ha waiian club here was the big draw ing card which determined her selection of Oregon. Not interested in politics or sports, her main ac tivity has been the Red Cross and her efforts on its behalf have helped establish on the campus the University’s own Red Cross unit. Concerning the Student Union building, Miss Wicke has one un relenting request; there must be a Red Cross room in it. ivt ti v “Working for the Red Cross teaches people to have a sense of responsibility. When they get the Red Cross habit it will set a pat tern in their personality which will keep them working at things they start on. The biggest thing in life? I don’t know yet what it is but I know that just talking about doing things for people never helped anyone. I’ve worked as a nurse’s aide and when I see the look on people’s faces after you do just some little thing for them, some little thing to make them feel better—I know this is true. “The main thing I’ve learned in college is getting along with peo ple and in order to do that you j have to understand and tolerate ; their faults and respect their opin j ions. That is one of the hardest ! things I have to do,” she smiled, i “because I usually think my own are right. But I’m an optimist. Ev eryone should be able to see the bad side of things and set to work to correct it and make it good.” Carol’s hobby is photography. She has seven albums of snapshots of most of the campys affairs dur ing her stay here and has pictures of all the coeds who have lived it the ADPi house while she has been there. With her junior Kodak 6:16 she does not attempt to make ar tistic pictures for effects but is more interested in mantaining a pictorial record of college life. Salt Lake City During spring vacation Carol tyalluan It seems our entire spring term is going to consist of nothing but total “duck weather” (rain to you). New spring clothes are hard er to locate on Oregon females than red ration stamps. Whenever anyone does get all dressed up in his “best bib 'n tucker” you can be sure that it will rain buckets. We are hoping that with a few scat tered house dances our luck will be better, but for this week here goes: Jeanne Villair looked very springy last weekend in her blue denim pinafore. The dress is trimmed with white eyelet in strips around the bottom, and also around the neckline and the sleeves. The deep round neckline looked very smart with her white blouse. Apple Green Dottie Vandeneynde makes a striking picture in her apple-green cotton gabardine two-piece suit. The jacket is collarless and quite long. The buttons are covered and her sleeves are three-quarter length with turned-up cuffs. We’ve been seeing a lot of pastel sport jackets this spring and it seems there is a monopoly on the collarless version. Kay Sharp de cided to be different and has been wearing a good-looking aqua jack et with lapels which are covered with white braid. Looks nice for a change, don’t you think! WTe like Sue Abbott’s yellow cot ton sport dress very much and will be glad when the female popula tion is completely “cotton clad.” Her dress has yellow as its basic color and brown and white plaid triangles make up the pattern. The skirt was very full and the top quite plainly tailored. White Jersey Marilyn Holden looked very striking at a recent dance in a white -outfit. The dress was pure white jersey with gold sequins and to top it off she wore a turban of matching white. With her dark hair and complexion she made an unusually attractive picture. Odd plaid combinations have been scarce this year and we were very much taken with the skirt of Glenna Burnett. The background is grey and a rich wine colors runs through the grey in large stripes. Sounds good enough to eat, doesn’t it ?—Martha Thorsland. went to Salt Lake City with ADPi Dorothy Rogers and was impressed with the fact that it is different from any city she has seen because of its wide streets and abundance of candy and pancake makeup. The service they attended at the Mor mon Tabernacle were described as “just beautiful, such wonderful acoustics.” The city that wins Miss Wicke’s approval as tops on her list is San Francisco. “I’m crazy about Frisco. It's the most cosmopolitan place I’ve been; there are so many dif ferent, interesting places to eat and although sometimes the food isn’t the best, it’s a lot of fun. San Francisco has almost everything and I love Chinatown. “There’s something about the fog that makes San Francisco dif ferent from any other city. I like the fog because it is distinctive, there’s just something nice about it.” The ideal life, however, Carol thinks, would be to live in Hawaii. According to her, it is the best place in the world, and asked why she thought so, Miss Wicke smiled in her slow, sweet way, “Because it’s my home.” And there is not much anyone can say to refute an answer like that. Ruth L. Bonde, formerly head of home management department at Pennsylvania State college, has gone to Macalester college as di rector of an experimental program in family life education.

Oil-Campus Romance It was a big evening Saturday night at the Alpha Gam fireside for Marion Saltness and Jack Ed wards. At that time a big diamond made the transfer from his pocket to her third-finger-left-hand. He's a pre-med student here on the campus which makes them two of the luckiest people we know.
