Coed *7he 'Week... Margery Skordahl Leads Campus Activity Groups By Barbara Johns Picture a lively, blue-eyed dream of efficiency and abound ing enthusiasm. You have it! Coed of the Week is Margery “Skorchy” Skordahl, new president of the Women’s Coordinat ing council and YWCA cabinet member. Skorchy is also the president of those blue-sweater women, the Phi Thetas, a po sition which dubs her one of the busiest and most influential wo men on the Oregon campus. Giving everyone who walked into the Side that typical Skor dahl personality-smile, “Skorchy” proceeded to discuss the WCC, an organization recently formed to help untangle the campus social and activity problems. “Next year the group will probably include'all men’s activity organizations too,” she declared, strictly on the QT, of course. “The WCC is not dic tating to stpdents,” she claimed, “but has been formed merely" to eliminate some of the confusion in activity programs as well as social calendars.” No more of this four meetings at 4:00 business! Phi Theta Adjusting her attractive harle quin glasses, Skorchy then delved into the realms of Phi Theta, junior honorary society. “It’s won derful to work with such a cooper ative and responsible bunch as the Phi Thetas!” she exclaimed. The junior honorary is really out for bigger and better scholarships and plans to give 3 more this year. You can find those winsome ladies-in navy ushering at all football and basketball games and at the con cert series. Time out. Skordahl just dashed out in pursuit of a candy bar. No ^ luck. Breezing in again, she gave % Stop in and see our selection of the latest styles strictly 1 for the campus THE WESTGATE shop this reporter that “I’d-love-to-tell you,-but” line and proceeded to bubble over a big surprise await ing the entire campus wdnter term. It’s definitely not for publication yet, but from those beams it really must be out of this world! One of the amazing experiences that happen quite often to “Skorchy” occurred last summer when she worked as a Spanish in terpreter in a Nampa, Idaho, shoe store. Greeting a Mexican custom er with her usual friendliness and charm, Skordahl misused the Spanish word “querer” for “de sear”. The confused young man thought she asked him if he loved her instead of if he wanted any thing. How embarrassing! Skor dahl, a Spanish major, has decided henceforth to confine her Spanish experiences to the South American embassy or something of that category. Born in Iowa “Skorchy” then issued a wail and complained of the teasing she constantly receives concerning her birthplace, the corn-state of Iowa, “where all the healthy people come from.” “I don’t even defend it any more,” she said. As a mat ter of fact, Skordahl stated that she’s crazy about Oregon now and wouldn’t leave here for the world. (That’s the kind of spirit the Chamber of Commerce likes to see!) Skordahl often wears her hair piled high on top of her head in a becoming fashion. However, since she caught a rather bad cold from this particular fashon, she has re frained from wearing her hair this way, for a while anyway. Of course that cold may also be due to the fact that she loves rain and especially enjoys walking in it. There’s just one thing she misses—ice-skating. Maybe her dream will come true this winter. But whether anyone’s dreams comes true, there’s one thing for certain: a gal with Skordahl’s per sonality, capability and love-of living simply can’t lose! Chem Seminar Armin Gropp, research assis tant in chemistry, will speak on “The Mechanism of Organic Re actions: Ionization versus Solva tion” at the meeting of the chem istry seminar today at 4:15 p.m. in 103 McClure hall. Dag wood! Couldn't do better ® For Snacks - - - anytime, it's r The FALCON ACROSS FROM JOHN STRAUB CamfLui Glad By MARY HIBBITT Hi! again, all you campus clad lasses. It’s pretty early this morn ing to be so cheerful, so down with that last cup of coffee and start absorbing some of the latest com ments about your friends, rela tives, and room-mates. It’s off to a good start and an 8 o’clock with Donna Rankin in that very smartly tailored gray coat, with a belt across the back and a double row of buttons down the front. Taking a short cut to class was Jean Merrifield wearing the college favorite, a navy, red, and white plaid skirt with a bright red blazer and with that smile she means it’s really a good morning. Liz Gully strolled into class in a soft gray suit accentuated with a black cashmere and a ribbon in her hair. Stopping into the Co-op between classes was Peggy Haw ver in a darling white, green and brown wool dirndel skirt and green wool-jersey blouse. You will find more and more wool-jersey blouses in the college girls’ ward robe this year; they don’t give you that bulky sweater look, but do give you plenty of warmth. Notice the variety of colors, they’ll match your brightest plaid or your pale nastel. Coming out in a yellow Eisen hower jacket and a skirt of tiny yellow and brown checks is Lynn Renick. It’s really cute. A girl with some ingenuity of her own is Maxine Kamp in a black and white check skirt with fringe down the side and around the hem. It looks like we’re becoming more and more under the influence of Indian costumes. Mary Lou Ander son was seen about the campus in a striking plaid dress of brown, yellow and blue, setting it off with a wide brown leather belt decor ated with shining gold studs. Glancing here and there in the library I noticed Nancy Sabel in a salt and pepper tweed skirt with a kick-pleat in front and back. This type of a skirt can be worn with almost any color sweater. Jo Kennedy was sporting a yummy pink angora sweater—it looks so soft and warm. Showing the latest in streamlined skirts is Selby Frame in an aqua wool skirt with darts down the front that gives her that O so flattering look. Back from a week-end at home came Alsia Bynon in a very soph isticated black wool suit, featuring dolman sleeves and very square shoulders. Maybe you have seen Margery Fisher in a flame-red, long sleeve wool dress with but tons down the front.^It can’t help but catch your eye. The latest ad dition to Jeanne Dodson’s ward robe is a stunning black dress with a flash Of blue and sparkling sequins on the front. Already to step out for a big night are Sally Smith and Leilani Pfatt. Sally has on an ice-blue crepe dress with a drape in the skirt and long dolman sleeves com ing to a point at the wrist. Leilani has on a smart silhouette black dress, with cap sleeves, and a soft peplum around the waist. Looking more than a little out of this world at a recent house dance were Cathy Cornell and Marge Cowlin. In a sauvely cut black dress was Cathy; she accentuated it with gold beads at the neck, subdued but superb. Marge had on the lat est color, electric blue. Her dress had a contrasting drape which was definitely flattering. After a heavy date or was it just a lot of studying? it was off to bed for Joan Preble in a darling flowered flannel nightie. It’s cer tainly the thing for these cold, cold nights. Now, it’s off to school with your self and I’ll be looking for you . . . -: Whiskerino Petitions Petitions for committees for the Sophomore Whiskerino are due October 25, and not October 22, as announced erroneously in yesterday’s Emerald. Molto Bene, Grazie’ or Have a Coke, My Friend’ By Kay Leslie and Selby Frame Undertaking matter this week are we of importance grave, That tare isotope of uranium, that U235, that source of ex plosive, the ATOMIC BOMB. Scientists and militarists on our door step camp, bend on plead knee ad proffer sums vast for us to keep our lip zipped, but our interest being, all for society or society for all, we this infor mation to the masses give.

After intensified research and startling discovery are we able to you offer information vital. Newspaper let not you know of this occurence shocking, but give we here to you this event which took its place during the trial dem onstration of our bomb. Lady, sit ting innocently stringing her beans, away from New Mexico State five thousand miles, sud denly shiveled up, died, and ut» tered in a gasp, “heavens.” Farm er, weeding his beets complacent ly in Maine, saw acutally worms leap out of the earth, their seg ments quivering with excitement. In Portland, was reported to us the fact that rain fell at the time of the explosion. Greatness to Come Wish we now to cite things of greatness that atomic power brings to us. The State of Oregon will in future starve California of all its tourist trade. Drawn up now are ambitious plans of re leasing small explosions under our trees which will shoot them to the height of the Sequoias. Mankind swarming on beaches will be, for atomic energy shall be utilized in heating the ocean to bath water temperature on the Oregon coast. Beds of lava in Ore gon eastern disintegrated to make bread for the poor, explosive power to be used on Skinner’s Butte to create a new Crater Lake for those unable to secure trans portation to the natural hole in the mountain due to bus strikes. Receiving not all benefits, our Oregon, the economic status of our nation will also great heights reach. Those charged with murders and various other misdemeanors assembled will be on Tuesday morn of each week at which time a charge electrical will pass through each of the forty eight states and our possessions to execute each menace to society. Machinery ex plosive will be set up to blast the farmer’s land into neatly plowed fields and at the same time spread ing dead pigeons over the field for fertilizer. J. C. Penney’ depart ment stores all over the nation will only have to use one pipe to make change. The dairy industry will employ millions for the de livery of milk before eight o’clock to the men of Mars.
