I G&ed &j the 1/UeeJz mall-but-mighty 'Mick SHolds Panhellenic Reins By BARBARA JOHNS A 98-pound dynamo of energy with big brown eyes and a warm, easy smile is Mary (Mickie) McCandless, this year’s panhellenic president—you know, the sparkling personality who gave everyone the will to survive ruch week. Mickie has who gave everyone the will to survive rush week. Mickie has ing president of the Alpha Chi Omega house, treasurer of Phi Theta, vice president of Kwama, and treasurer of the AWS. She’s really an activity girl! Naturally one of the major issues that faced Mickie was the rush week recently completed. Mickie stated that the former system is in the midst of improvement and that, “The object of the entire program will be to work with individuals more than with groups, and to educate high school students to such requirements as early regisration and high deciles.’’ Mick confessed with a big smile that so far in her college career she has changed her major four times. This year she is majoring in economics, and has filled sev eral of her requirements at the Oregon summer school. “If I had to do college over again, I'd do it in summer school," she declared. (Nice plug for the UO summer session.) Her head resting on her hand, Mickie suddenly brightened and rapidly talked- about one of her great ambitions—to learn to play golf. Now that the Eugene weather has cleared one can prob ably find Mick on the golf course —or on second thought, she might be bowling, because that’s some thing she really enjoys too. Not the athletic type, Mary-of-the dark-bro-wn-liair has “absolutely no desire to go horseback riding. (Keep that last statement for further reference. Golden Gate Kid For the present, Mary is living $6 the thriving metropolis (?) of Burlingame, California, which she determines to be three blocks from San Mateo. However, Mick was born in San Francisco and plans to return shortly. She confessed that one of the biggest thrills of her life occurred this summer when she w’as in the Bay City the day before official V-J day. She had the opportunity to witness first hand the wild and completely rapturous celebration. “I wouldn’t have missed it for the wrorld!” she laughed. Mary quite suddenly declared that what she liked most in the world is people, but a particular kind—“those who find a happy medium between being serious and being funny.” According to Mick, the adventurous type particularly appeals to her. Oh, and' speaking of people, she began recalling all the fun she has had with them at Oregon—at snowball fights, rallies, picnics, dances . . . “Well, that’s life, but it won’t be long now until things are normal again!” she sighed. Coeds You already know that the best-dressed girls on the cam pus buy their clothes from Gordon’s—and the really best dressed women are fastidious right from the skin on out. f'cr ' !ins'’ dertl i Important basic un come to Gordon’s Sc" Our Smooth Slips . .

Straight skirts, belted j coats, and lumberman jackets j caught the envious eye of the I female and the wandering' eye of the male. Suits in the basic colors are brightened by gay sweaters and! blouses. June Robbins looked trim in a grey suit with Montgomery j jacket and fly-pleated skirt. She chose a white round-neck blouse with two rolls of small pearl buttons toUomplete the outfit. Contrasting jackets and skirts are still a favorite style of suit. The cardigan jacket is the most popular style when this combina tion is worn. Sally Mann showed us a brighter version in her red jacket and red-and-green plaid skirt. A black jacket piped in white worn over a black-and-white J shepherd plaid skirt is Jean Hall- | ing’s choice. Her skirt is the new wrap-around style with a fringe of the same material. A good jacket adds variety to the ward robe because it can be worn with several different skirts and it will dress up the popular pedal-push ers. Skirts are more unusual this year than they have been for some time. It no longer requires two and a half yards of material to make a fashionable skirt—rather the less material the better. If a straight skirt can’t be found, the one-pleat style is also new—made in a plaid, check, or bright colored woolen. Nadine Foss has chosen a light green with a one-inch rasp berry check for a narrow one pleat skirt. The “fly-front” skirt in a dark green is being worn by Natalie Brown. Front fullness in skirts is shown by Joann Ilolstad. With it she wears a fuschia wool jersey blouse which is another ] “must” in the 1945 wardrobe. A ; version of the wool blouse is Helen Hicks’ rolled neck blue grey blouse with the newr dolman sleeve. Cashmeres are back in evidence this year in beautiful soft shades. Anne Milestrup has a very small knit light green sweater that is really an eye-catcher. A cotton candy-pink cardigan is Eloise Mul hausen’s selection. Also renewing their place on the campus this fall are wooden shoes. Caused by the difficulty in obtain ing our old stand-bys, wooden shoes are being given the same rush that they had five years ago. White with straps and brown suede are still the favorites. Rain coats, jackets, and cloth coats are all popular in the new (Please turn to page seven) fyooi^eGA. fycdU A quickie-look at the anklet clad coed reveals the following what’s what in footgear for Ore gon women. Shanksmares (black buck loafers to most of us rank first in popularity. With the return of black sweaters and wool-jersey pullovers, these complete a match ing campus costume. Running foot and foot for second place are the traditional wooden shoes and all-white buck saddles. The former are making their ap pearance in all colors ranging from powder blue to chocolate brown. Still around in appreciable numbers are the age-old favorite saddles and those comfortable brown loafers. On the dressier side of the scene, black suede D'Orsay pumps take top honors, with such variations as large amber reflector buttons, big bows, little bows,' and glitter ing buckles. Next in line are classical san dals, a year-in and year-out win ner. Colored dress shoes show a definite decline partly due to the rationing program. Infinitesimal coeds are adding extra inches by wearing good-looking platform soled pumps and sandals.
