Law Background Given Sn Capital For New Co-ed By DOROTHY HABEL From the seat of all activities, Washington, D.C., comes a new student to the University, Marieta Kellum. Enrolled in the pre-law school, Marieta intends to complete her remaining law requirements to take the bar in Oregon. She formerly attended the Washington College of Law. After living in Washington for almost six years, and working near the political centers, Miss Kellum has a good deal to say about the conditions there. She received her position through the merit system of the federal civil service com mission and moved to Washington as a stenographer in the legal di vision of the federal trade commis sion. This was the executive branch and their duty was to check on misleading or false advertising. Miss Kellum added that this job •was her encouragement to become a law student for as she men tioned, “When you work with any one as interesting as my superior, Everet MacIntyre, now trial at torney for the trade commission, you can't help but become excited .with the work. We handled the middle information, that is, the transactions between the investiga tions and the actual trials." Tomorrow's News Today When asked about the city of Washington, Marieta replied, “It's hard for me to describe it except that you feel you're always next to things, really receiving tomor row’s news today. They have beau tiful parks and buildings, and my place of work, the Apex building, was near the White House and congress. In fact our building was situated in a triangle between Pennsylvania and Inauguration streets. Most ol' the large parades and dedications march down Penn sylvania, so wo were well supplied with excitement. In June of 1910 we saw tiie king and queen of England when they came down tom Canada to see the president. *i ie \ i chives building is belou ours; there they reduce important documents and such to small size, similar to V-mail. Saw Court Session Living in Washington for six years, Miss Kellum naturally saw many interesting people and sights. She had the opportunity to see the supreme court in session while the “nine old men” were there and to tour through part of the White House, though that is now closed to the public because of the war. She sat in on both houses and re marked in passing, “The wind cer tainly changes quickly and you do hear the latest gossip; their grape vine is especially efficient.” The housing conditions were not so difficult when Marieta moved to this city. “We only had to move six times," she said. “It is usually the custom to first move into a hotel, apartment or room, and then graduate to a shared room as in a boarding house. You customarily have three or four changes in this transaction, and finally as the supreme step you claim an apart ment of your own. We lived in a huge apartment on 16th and Co lumbia road, where the British, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese embassies are located.” Water Carnivals Likeil One of the interesting events Miss Kellum mentioned was the summer water carnivals. “There is a large barge in the Potomac river, where these beautiful pageants take place and the people either watch from small boats scattered in the water or from the benches on the shore. In answer to the inquiry about her Opinions of the University, Marieta replied, “I really haven’t been here very long, but what I've vn is very favorable, you have a beautiful campus.” After her courses arc completed, Mi w Kellum hopes to take the bar in Oregon and then return to Washington to work for the gov ernment in a professional capacity.

Shubert Fendrick, who secured the “Breakfast” material for the party, announced Thursday that a few tickets were still available for ten cents.

Campus Butlers (Continued from page one) Substantiating Captain Heine's letter, members of the University of Oregon basketball team, who during their playing season played in Klamath Falls, testify that the Klamath Marine band was the best they have had occasion to hear since the days of Glen Miller. LIFE COME TO THE PARTY Adding color to the gala occa sion, dance committee members says that a “Life” photographer will be present to cover the event because of the novelty of a but ler’s ball and a marine band on a campus. Many students have expressed | the feeling that the Butler's Ball | should be held in McArthur court, and it is in all probability the event will warrant the use of the building because of the large num ber of people who have already re quested advance tickets. Assisting Morrie Mink, chief kit eheneer, in the hash-sliging and production of this event will be the following biscuit shooters: John Craig, Ted Loud, and Gene Cecchini, promotion; Robert Schott and Ed Allen, contest; Harry Lee, tickets; Milton Sparks and Nick Weddle, lights; Wally Johnson and John Kroder, decorations; Floyd Stapp and Don Reich, refresh ments; Floyd Frederickson and Browning Allen, patrons; Russ Monahan and Don Dyer, marine welfare; Bob Moran and Bob Davis, entertainment; Bill Davis and Jim Byers, cleanup; Ted Kent, treasurer; Jack Ruebel, posters. “I'd like to have asked her for this dance, but all the cars are full.” with Marlene Dietrich and Ronald Coleman "Crime By Night" with Jane Wyman 'Crime Doctor's Courage' with Warner Baxter — and — '£ j for Miss Julie' with Shirley Ross and Barton Hepburn Faculty Work Included In Exhibit at Art Gallery Now showing at the little art gallery at the art school is a double header display.

The paintings range from a vital, Alumna Recruits (Continued from page one) a Campfire conference took her to New York in January. “We had a reunion of old Oregon while I was back east,” she said, reminisc ing. It was there she saw Sue Saw yer, 1943-44 president of Mortar Board, Corinne Nelson, another member of Mortar Board, Eliza beth Steed, AWS president in 1941 42, and Lt. Anne Frederickson, now in the WAVES, who preceded Miss Steed in the AWS presidency. Abbie Jane White, remembered as president of the YWCA in 1943, and Ensign Betty Plankinton, of the SPARS, an Oregon Phi Beta Kappa, were two other Oregon alumnae now located in the east. Asked what, in her opinion, was the most noticeable change on the campus since her college career, Marge looked up, smiled sheepish ly, and observed profoundly that “the tapestry is no longer on the wall of the Side—it's been re placed by that bright UO duck.” An activity girl, a good student, a popular and pleasant personality —yes, Marge was all of these—but she also knew the Side! exciting •'isutiaio ±iunt ny .Lucia Wiley to a precise, geometrical one done in coll colors by Miss Maude I.

Oregon ^Emerald Night Staff: Betty Mack, night editor --- CAMPUS CALENDAR ....All members of the Butler’s Ball committee will meet at 4 p.m, today at the Side. Speaking of Operations! An invasion fleet of several hundred warships uses some 48,000 telephones—from 1,500 on a battles ship to 10 on a motor torpedo boat. That’s as many as are used by most cities of 160,000! Our fighting men are using telephones, wire, switchboards, and other communications equip-; ment in huge quantities. And Western Electric workers, peacetime suppliers to the Bell System, are busy meeting those needs. That is why there are not enough home tele phones right now. But we are looking forward to the day when the Bell System can again provide telephone service to anyone, anywhere, at any lime. BELL TELEPHONE "Service to the Nation in Peace and War”
