Versatility is the word for chipper, energetic Margie Robin
son, editor of Old Oregon, the alumni magazine, and graduating
senior in the School of Journalism.
Drop into the alumni office in Friendly hall almost any af
ternoon and you will find her planning the next issue; walk over
to the music school and -you might find her tatooing a neat
rhythm on the tympani—she’s played the kettle drums for years
a sunny afternoon she may
be playing tennis on the
4 courts behind Commerce, and
on a stormy winter evening
with the cold rains blustering
around the house you might
catch her at home wrapped |
up in one of those spine-curl- §
ing, marrow-freezing psycho- g
logical murder mystery books j|
which she reads for relaxa- j
tion.
Margie, Phi Beta Kappa,
heard about the nationally
known Oregon school of jour
nalism when she was a fresh
man at the Creston, Iowa,
junior college. Although she
had been planning to go to
the State University of Iowa
she changed her mind and
*'s she and her mother moved to 69
Eugene. Entering the Univer
sity as a sophomore, Miss
Marjorie Robinson
Robinson has stuck to her interest
in journalism and her list of activi
ties in that field shows that she has
covered the subject thoroughly in
all its phases here at school.
Like most journalism majors she
began her career as a shack-rat, an
Emerald reporter and wrote for the
Oregana. From there it was only
one step into the University News
Bureau and her introduction into
the big time. She wrote for the Bu
reau, which sends University news,
to the larger newspapers, until last
spring when she became assistant
editor of Old Oreg'on. This year as
editor Miss Robinson has had to
contend with the wartime shortage
of materials and funds and the great
demand for the magazine by for
mer Oregon men overseas and in
the service. Despite these difficul
ties she has received many letters
of appreciation from alumni who
wait eagerly for each of her suc
ceeding issues.
Journalism Main Interest
“The next few years will begin
to show what I’ve gotten out of my
journalism courses and activities,”
Margie said thoughtfully, “By the
time you are a senior you realize
how little you know; the advantage
of majoring in journalism is that
you dip into so many varied fields
and in this way you really do get a
liberal education in the full sense
of the term.”
“I've enjoyed working on Old
Oregon very much. The alumni real
ly do appreciate a magazine which
often is their only contact with
their school—their letters show
that. Magazine work is interesting
because of the many variations and
because there the emphasis is often
on quality instead of quantity. You
can't turn out your best work
when you are fighting time trying
to beat a deadline like on a newspa
per, and I think that the emphasis
in writing should be on the value
of the work and not merely on hack
ing out reams of copy,” maintained
the tall, brown-haired editor.
Among the most lasting influ
ences she has met at Oregon Mar
gie Robinson felt that the late Dean
Eric W. Allen of the school of jour
nalism had left a great impression
on her. “He has influenced me not
only in the field of journalism, but
from a world viewpoint he has fos
tered ideals in us which will remain
with us for a long time. We don’t
^ have all the answers by far. but
f somehow^hie has "iinstille'd"’in""'7s”'a
sense of purpose, of direction.”

At fjunion Weekend
By MARTHA THORSLAND
Xow that Junior W eekend. 1()44 has heen pronounced a mag
nificent success, we can settle back and concentrate on finishing
spring term. Ot interest to all was the coronation of Onecn Anita
and her four princesses. The court looked outstanding in white
pique formals. The bodices were of white eyelet with cutaway
sleeves and the necklines were high and round. The gowns had
tight-fitting bodices and full skirts. The most striking part of
CIICIX uuuuo VY C LilC VUUIV
starched pique hats that were
quaintly fashioned after something
from Holland.
Black
Seen at the Mothers' tea. in a
good-looking spring outfit was
blonde Mary Bentley. She had on
a smartly tailored black linen dress
with a touch of white about the
neckline. The sleeves were just
adequate to suggest sleeves and
gave the dress a cool appearance.
Her hat was also made of black
linen and black accessories com
pleted her outfit.
Looking springy the other day
was June Johnson in a lemon-green
cotton striped dress. A huge bow
at the neck gave the dress an un
usual touch.
New Notes
Miki Riley looked efficient dur
ing the weekend in her bright
green blazer and white pleated
skirt.
Jean Frideger has been wearing
a light purple suit with matching
accessories that is most attractive
with her reddish-blonde hair. Her
suit is a dressmaker style. She
wears a purple beanie with a large
flower on each side.
Dressed in a black jersey outfit
at ..the ..Mother’s ..tea was ..Ruth
Chappell. The skirt was black and
fashioned with a draped effect. The
top was a yellow and black print
and fitted snugly into the wide,
high, band at the skirt. Her pert
little hat was of the same mate
rial as the top of her dress and
was worn over one eye.
Miriam Becke looks nice in her
light blue linen dress. The dress is
sleeveless and has a square neck.
Small white buttons go all the way
down the front and a wide belt
goes around the back and ties oil
the side. Notice the straight style.
