Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, as its year’s project will work with the AWS council in ful filling its plans. First official action this year was the selection of Beverly Carroll, senior in liberal arts, as campus so cial chairman. She will give the final word concerning what to wear at campus functions. Adhering to the purpose of the organization, which is “to foster the best interests of the women on the campus,” a six-girl committee sponsored by AWS this year will take charge of keeping activity record files for all coeds. This has previously been done by the dean of women’s office. In accord with its reorganization plans, AWS is contacting similar groups on other campuses to learn their plans and activities.

The round robin custom of seeing them all proved intensely interesting for most couples. The Asiatic influence prevailed with the Alpha Xi Deltas who wore Chinese costumes and presented their dates with small black skull caps with a braid down the back. The Alpha Chis and the Delta Ze tas also looked to the Orient for their themes. Seen dancing was Ann. Pekramen in a swishy black taffeta formal which featured a cerise rib bon extending over the shoulder and caught in back with a large flower. Attractive Virginia Jones wore a striking white crepe dinner dress accentuated by a white wool jacket having the new bell sleeves and bright sequin neckline. Thetas Young The Thetas waxed poetic with “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay’’ as their theme. Short silks were in order, and petite Joan Irwin daz zled the crowd in black crepe fash ioned with a square neck and low square back inset with flesh-colored net. Cutting a sophisticated figure was Carolyn Tyler in jet crepe. An oval neckline and tiny puffed sleeves trimmed with ermine-like feathers enhanced its design. It was “Coffee Time” at the Chi O house, and brunette Meredith Stearns wearing a stunning black dress with the new uneven hemline and a bustle in the back caught our eye. Color to brighten the occasion was supplied by Jill Archer who wore black traced with small pink and aqua print. Highlight of the dress was an exaggerated peplum. Golden Slipper The DG house turned into a gol den slipper Saturday night. Out standing among the dancers was Mildred Chetty in a breath-taking black strapless formal. Made of faille, it had full paniers topping an otherwise straight skirt. A white lace bodice woven with silver thread worn over a straight black velvet skirt was the choice of Mary Lee Booth. Cap sleeves and a wide square neck accented the glittering blouse. Next weekend promises to be just as exciting as the last, and all of the coeds will be dressed in their best for the game; so see you in Portland. The Gad-a-bout By PAX KINO Portland is siphoning University social life this weekend and leaving the cold, silent campus to the squir rels and bookworms. The dances, luncheons, and parties scheduled before and after the game will prob ably set Portland on its ear when the jubilant college characters des cend into its social whirl. Tonight’s exchanges will be the biggest piece of socializing for the campus this week-: Delta Zeta- Del ta Tau Delta; Pi Beta Phi-Sigma Nu; Tri Delt-Pbi Gamma Delta; Kappa Kappa Gamma- Chi Psi; Kappa Alpha Theta- Phi Kappa Psi; Alpha Chi Omega-Sigma Chi; Al pha Omicron Pi-Pi Kappa Alpha.

Edna M. Stokes, Hendricks hall, Mrs. Marcia Gowne, Delta Zeta; and Mrs. Dora Smith, Highland house. Because she enjoys young people, Mrs. Stokes, stately and with graying hair, is now spending her third vear as house mouier at the University of Ore gon. She was at Gamma hall and Gerlinger, each for a year, and this year she is responsible for the 185 girls living in Hendricks hall. Al though this is a large number, Mrs. Stokes said, “We get along beauti fully.” She said that the girls were not too crowded, even rooming five in a room, but admitted that she was glad she did not have to plan the meals, with current prices and food shortages. Mrs. Stokes especially mentioned the wonderful school spirit among the girls this year. As evidence she told of the fourth unit coming to dinner after the Ducks took their beating from USC with long faces and mourning bands around their arms. “Noise does not bother me,” she said, “for it is to be expected with so many girls living together.” Theta hold preference dessert to night. Tomorrow night the All Co-op ex change dinner will be held. She Cooks Too Busy cooking dinner for the fifty Delta Zetas was their ener getic and attractive housemother,. Mrs. Marcia Gowne. Yes, their cook left them two weeks ago "to be alone,” for she just couldn’t stand the excitement, and Mrs. Gowne, who had never before • cooked for a large group, took over the job. She’s Having Fun As she popped the meat loaf in the oven, and stirred cheese into some white-sauce, Mrs. Gowne ex plained that this is her first year as a housemother, but that she is surely having fun. She even says that she got some pleasure out of helping when the workmen were still busy painting and moving fur niture, and the girls were trying to get settled in the new house. “I am so interested in giving the girls the benefit of my experience as a homemaker and mother to help them (Please turn to page six) Wool dresses that will make you feel so warm and comfortable for that casual evening or the big game.
