Mexican Exhibit; Concert
By WINIFRED ROMTVEDT
An atmosphere of Mexico filled the browsing room of the
library Sunday afternoon as the first recorded music concert
of the year was presented. On display were numerous items
collected in Mexico by Mrs. Clarence Hyde, and from the
phonograph came serenades, popular music, and cowboy

Daze of Ophelia

Friday night, she was shown the
door . . . attractive doors, but very
solid. All the signs said “Help Not
Wanted.’’ Ophelia agreed, "what
with only that many men on cam
pus. But it didn't bother her . . .
wasn’t acquainted with Help any
way. Knocked on a door. “Help!”
the Alpha Phi murmured.
“No, Ophelia,” said Miss O.
Trundled down to see her good
friend, Erskine Hawkins. Practiced
her vocal attack on the way to the
armory. "You are fine. How am
I ?” she lisped.
But ... no money ... no Hawk
ins. That is life. Saturday, Ophelia
mapped out her campaign. Some
people would say that she looked
into a. mirror. Very unkind . . .
Ophelia is a beautiful . . . example.
Patted her stringy dye job loving
ly and stalked forth. Another huge
decision . . . should it be the Bunion
Derby (a little bit worse) or a
horse dance ? Someone said, “The
Chi O’s are dancing to beat the
band.”
Ophelia wanted to beat the band
too. Walked in demurely on the
arm . . . silly ... on her feet. Got
as far as one finger in the drum
mer’s eye and an elbow in the sax
player's floating rib. . . . Was told
she couldn't beat the band.

melodies recorded in Mexico.
In playing the records from the
libraries of Dr. Leavitt O. Wright,
of the Romance languages depart
ment, and Miss Irene Greenbaura,
of Eugene high school, Miss Eliza
beth DeCou explained many details
about Mexican music. She, together
with Miss Margaret McGee, had
spent the summer in Mexico.
The first group consisted of mu
sic by the Mariachis, or cowboy
singers. They sing as well as they
play their guitars, violins, and
unique, hand-made horns. Women
sometimes sing with such groups,
but do not play. The Jarabe Ta
pitio, national dance, is supposed
to make everyone in Mexico dance,
and many of those students and
town people who heard the Mu Phi
Epsilon-sponsored concert, seemed
ready to do the same.
As she played several serenades
which might be heard in Mexico
late at night or early in the morn
ing, Miss DeCou explained how a
young lady should receive a sere
nade. Turn on the lights to show
you are awake. Then turn off the
lights, and peek out to see who is
there. Never throw roses from the
balcony, however; you might be
killed.
The popular music for dancing
and entertainment differs in that
drums and notched gourds, played
with sticks, are used.
Woven baskets, gay jackets
made bright with embroidery, Mex
ican silver trays, paintings on tile,
colored rugs, pottery and jewelry,
and quaint headdresses caught the
eyes of listeners as they strolled
about the room when the concert
was finished at 5. Mrs. Hyde col
lected these beautiful examples of
handicraft on several trips to
Mexico.
Fashions

a decorative touch to any arm. On
the lighter side are the silver
bangles, such as Sue Stater wears.
To avoid sleeping porch sniffles
on chilly nights, two bright girls
bought suits of men’s long under
wear (they're fleece lined, you
know) and dyed them red to wear
as pajamas. They shyly asked that
their names be withheld, so their
identity remains a deep secret be
tween the three of us. Anyway,
it’s the idea that counts. For warm
feet on a cold evening, Katie
Schneider wears red, red, ankle
high slippers that look more like a
bright caricature of baby’s first
shoes.

LOIS and ROY WHYTAL
SIDE PATTER -
By SUE WELCH and
PATSY MALONEY
Hope you all dropped in to the
SIDE after the Bricker rally to
see:
Bob Moran and Gloria Mon
tag together again, as usual.
Phil Stearns, photographer from
Life magazine surrounded by
the rally squad and Marilyn
Sage, (mostly the latter). And
if you didn’t drop in for the
above mentioned reason, we
trust you did come in for a
slight coke.
We notice that Carolyn Wells’
old flame is back on campus.
Incidentally, he can be seen as
the stage manager in the Uni- *
versity Theater Guild’s coming
production, “Skin of Our Teeth.’’
Is it or is it not a steady deal
between Alla Loomis and Milt
Sparks ? It seems there is no
cause for wondering about Herb
Hoffman and Theta Rosemary
Jones. We imagine that Chi-O
Maud Louise Branley will be
glad to know that Rosemary
won't be on the campus this^ _
term. But she'll be back winter
term!
Seen sittin’ at the SIDE . . .
Colleen Barclay and Wally Mc
Kenzie doing accounting, it says
here. Don Taylor and Sally
Timmons. Isn't that arm aw
fully inconvenient Sal? Joyce
Clai-k, one of the more lucky
girls, whose Phi Psi, Cliff Wil
cox, is here on leave having just
graduated from Fort Benning.
Mary Jo Warrens has been look
ing quite dreamy of late since
Jack Monroe, whose Beta pin
she has proudly possessed for
some time, was in town for sev
eral days.
Can some one please tell us
why Bill O’Hearn has been
bitter lately? Speaking of O’
Hearn reminds us of Mike Wed
dle, which reminds us that Mike
is leaving, or rather left today
for Uncle Sam’s, navy. Even
though- he probably won’t see
this.So- long and good luck,
Mike.
Note: While we were sitting
in our little old front booth
searching for a little something
to fill this column with, (which
we didn’t find very much of),
(never took Comp, myself), any
way, as we were saying, the
waitress brought us an ash
tray!!! As you no doubt no
ticed, these receptacles were at
quite a premium (meaning, very
rare) last year but it looks as4*
if Lois and Roy have made a
few improvements around the
old SIDE. Which reminds us,
speaking of improvements, have
you noticed the giant size piece
of cake a la mode you get these
days?
And now, not behind the witty
or clever type, and being unable
to think up a good tag line for
this column, we will merely sa>,
c’est le fini!!!! (so there too!!!,*
