Kwama Prexy Emphasizes
-Service to University
By Barbara Johns
Nominated for Oregon's “out-of-this-world"’ girl is the new
Kwama prexy, Ann Burgess, the personality-plus with the
zoom smile and rosy gdow—always on the go, leading those
“women in white" from one terrific assembly to the next. Non
chalantly chewing on a straw, “Birdseed’’ enthusiastically
claimed that, “Activities are one
of the most important phases of
college life.” She expressed the be
lief that they were a direct and
pleasant means of meeting people
and learning to shoulder respon
sibility. “Service to the University
is as important as keeping up the
GPA!”
A sociology major, Ann is quite
interested in personnel work. She
had a great deal of experience as
president of the Portland high
school council of Campfire, and
spent the entire summer roughing
it at Camp Namanu with all the
^ittle girls. As a matter of fact,
just to show you that “Birdseed”
is really quite the camper, she and
seven others took the Skyline trail,
a mere 40 mile hike, from Breiten
bush lake to the Santiam high
way. The girls carried their own
packs and did their cooking out
doors, stumbling from one rock to
the next, looking at the view,
stumbling from one rock to the
next, Wham!
Summer Fun
“B i r d s e e d’s” summer was
“simply sensational.” She was able
to come in town from camp each
weekend and tear around seeing
all her hundreds of friends and
dash out to Jantzen every Satur
day night. That wouldn’t be hard
to take, now would it?

You know, Burgess is really a
woman of accomplishment. All last
year she and her other partner in
crime, Theta-sister-in-the-bond
Grendel, belonged to the Outboard
Motor club, and tore around to
gether on a bike. This year she is
a full- fledged life-saver. State
ment from Burgess: “I wanted to
be a life-saver so I went and
bought a package for 5 cent.” Ha!
Ha!
Clubwoman Burgess is also a
high-ranking “colonial” in the Jun
ior Birdmen. Requisites for mem
bership: Four Pep box tops and
four Pep buttons. (Now, kiddies,
eat your cereal!) New members
may rise to such heights as “second
lieutenant” or “buck private.”
Those interested in being initiated
may turn their petitions into Bur
gess.
Ann “I love steak” Burgess has
a wild passion for writing short
tsories and scripts of any variety.
Thus far she’s dabbled here and
there, writing for this and that.
Nice work if you can do it!
Although she claimed her jaw
got stuck from talking too much,
“Dimples” (she won’t admit it,
but they’re there) wanted one last
plug for the Skull-and-Dagger
Kwama Kickoff dance. So—fel
lows, for the sake of Kwama,
please get on the boat!
Pvt. Robert Emerson
Visits Oregon Friends
Pvt. Robert Emerson, a jour
nalism major of the class of ’39,
and his wife, the forager Polly
Lou Todd of Portland, visited the
campus and friends during the
week.
Private Emerson, holder of the
purple heart with three clusters,
is on sick leave from McCaw
general hospital, Walla Walla,
Washington. He has been under
treatment for serious leg wounds
received in Germany.
He indicated the possibility that
he might return to school for the
winter term.
A Scot was stripping the wall
paper from the walls of his house
when a friend called to see him.
“Well, Sandy,” said the friend,
are you going to have new
paper ?”
“No,” replied Sandy, “I’m just
moving to another house.”

Simplicity, quality, and smart-1
ness—those are the three by
words of the University of Ore
gon coed when she goes shopping.
For the feminine webfoot has
learned that her clothes are more
practical for campus wear, much
easier to take care of, and last
much longer when she buys with
these three thoughts in mind.
Like college women up and down
the coast, Oregon coeds dress in
the usual sweater and skirt combo
or a good-looking suit—perhaps
glen-plaid as worn by Marguerite
Hirschbhl. This type of suit can
be worn with either saddles or
heels.
Blazers are still an outstanding
feature on the campus. A classic
white blazer is shown by Frances
Haffn. She combines this with a
mixed aqua, tan, and white plaid
skirt. Another smart combo is
Barbara Patterson's lime green
blazer piped in white to which she
adds a fime and fuschia plaid skirt.
Barbara Lucas has a lovely gray
flannel two-piece suit with box
jacket, mandarin collar, and gold
buttons to set it off. Under it she
wears a simple black jersey blouse.
Joan Meyer has taken her bright
black and yellow dirndl plaid skirt
straight from Vogue. With this
she adds a black cashmere tucked
in at the waist and pearls to com
plete the outfit.
Campus coats range from bright
colored rain coats to the new heavy
reefers with belted backs. A
version of this is Roxie Sears!
plaid reefer with belted back which
she purchased in Canada this
summer.
Miss Oregon dresses are as un
pretentious as possible—seldom
with a hat—but when week-ends
come and formals are in order,
she can become glamorous in
swirling net, stately velvet, or
stiff taffeta. Jean Jacoberger has
a dinner dress in the ever-popular
color chartruese with a square
neckline, three-quarter length
sleeves, and a straight softly
draped skirt. A beautiful purple
velvet dinner dress with the flat
tering V neckline and subtly
draped skirt is worn by Pattie
Beaton. To this she adds a heavy
studded belt—a new and different
1945 trick. Berta Reische has a
full-skirted red plaid taffeta for
mal with the new dropped-should
er line which is trimmed in the
same material as the skirt. The
front midriff version of the dinner
dress is featured by Beverly Pitt
man in heavy winter-white crepe.
It has that rounded-shoulder look
and wing sleeves which button at
the wrists.
This fall, date dresses will be in
evidence more than ever. Pastel
wools will be especially popular
during fall and winter days.
Leslie Palfrey has an intriguing
version of pa.stel pink wool with
a V neck and three-quarter length
sleeves. The interesting touch to
this is the black belt which is
sewn on the dress and down the
back. Mary Hilton also has the
newest Vogue fashoin in a date
dress. The top is fuschia with the
new high-rolled collar and three
quarter length sleeves. The black
and fuschia checked skirt is
gathered all around.
Wooly angora socks . . . charm
bracelets . . . huge flannel pajamas
for thoe cold nights on the sleep
ing porches . . . gay bandanas for
that Oregon mist . . . heavy leather
belts that catch the eye . . .
wooden shoes that aren't afraid of
any weather . . . wool dresses as
a pleasant change from skirts and
sweaters ... all these typify the
college girl, the Oregon coed.
An actor, down to his last
nickel, was passing a police sta
tion, and saw a notice to the effect
that a man was wanted for
burglary.
“Ah well,” he sighed, turning
into the station, “it’ll do until I
better.”
I. M. M. Dreams
Of College Whirl
By CAROLYN ROMTVEDT
Ingabord Mehitable Milkmaiden
decided early last spring that she
should investigate the process of
enrollment in the University of
Oregon. She had heard from the
girl down the road-apiece that
there might be a few men down
there and she was sure she would
have very little competition.
Ingaborg was just a girl from
the little community of Dew Hovel,
Oregon, but she was no ignorant
square. Males sounded interesting
to her and although she hardly
knew what a book looked like, the
prospect of them enticed her. She
just loved the pretty colors on the
covers.
One day, I.M.M. and her mother
got out both the Sears Roebuck
and the Montgomery Wards cata
logs and started planning Inga
borg's wardrobe. That way she
would be positively the best
dressed woman on the campus.
Starting with her feet, they
selected a pair of black-patent
leather shoes with inch-and-a-half
heels. Ingaborg really wore size
10V2' but she didn’t want to be
embarrassed so she ordered a pair
of number sevens. When they
arrived she crammed her petite
feet into them. This took approxi
mately two hours and that large
lump in the middle of her feet
should signify that she is a lady
with a high instep.
Next came the problem of
stockings. The appropriately
dressed girl should have half socks,
it said in the material the Univer
sity had sent her. They ordered
an abundant supply of these in
assorted colors,—red, yellow, green,
and blue-striped. These were ex
actly the correct length and
showed off her sturdy gams nicely.
They came just five inches below
her knees.
Lingerie they didn’t need to
bother with because Mother had
several old burlap bags and flow
ered flour sacks which would make
unmentionables both dainty and
practical.
Our heroine knew that sweat
ers and skirts are a MUST for
campus wear. She sent for a
purple skirt of fine rayon with
which she planned to wear an
orange pullover, size 34. She
measured 38 inches but she could
allow for stretching. Another
really zooty outfit for classes was
a fuschia skirt, six inches above
the knees, and a bright yellow
cardigan trimmed with little pink
tassles hanging just to the hem of
her skirt.
Next on the list was a winter
coat. This required careful con
sideration as it should last all four
years. Ingaborb selected a prin
cess style in green and violet
plaid with a stylish trimming of
red bunny fur at the collar and
down the front.
Short silks are a necessity for
dates and formal affairs of ivhich
Ingaborg expected to have plenty.
She didn’t want to risk getting one
ready-made, so she bought a pat
tern and some material and
stitched it up herself. It was
shimmering pink satin with a six
teen-gore skirt, enhanced by a
ruffle of green and violet polka
dotted organdy ai'ound the hips.
