A IaJomgmX Place. . . . MRS. KOPP, MRS. WICKHAM, AND MRS. CUNNINGHAM . . . plan another busy day in their first floor, Gerlinger, office. They are, left to right, secretary, dean of women, and assistant dean. Mrs. Wickham, Assistants Helpful, Friendly, Diligent By BETH BASLER Three friendly women, each interested in th welfare of all girls on the campus, efficiently carry out the large volume of work necessary in a dean of women's office. These three women working in the busy beehive on the first floor of Ger linger, are Mrs. Golda Wickham, dean of women, Mrs. Marjorie ►Cunningham, assistant dean, and Mrs. Margaret Kopp, secre tary. Unlike most business offices, the atmosphere is cozy, with a rug on the floor, tlowers, ana comfortable pine furniture. Algo unlike the average office, the mag azines are new. They like to Fish The Wickhams own their home on College hill, and Mrs. Wickham does most of her own housekeeping, as it is still hard to get help. When they feel the need of a change from their work, Mr. and Mrs. Wickham head for one of the numerous lakes along the Oregon coast and fish. “There is nothing so relaxing as this type of lake fishing,” Mrs. Wickham said. Mrs. Wickham would rather talk about the work of the dean’s office than about herself. One of the big gest jobs at present is, as Mrs. Wickham put it, “to work out a flexible and comprehensive system of counseling.” The dean talks to all girls who are on probation and attempts to help them find a way to improve their scholarship. Any and all problems of girls are dealt with by the dean of women’s office •►including health, allowances, activ-1 ities, and eVen love; in short, any thing contributing to the welfare of the girl. This means many appoint ments with: girls and letters to par ents every day. Mrs. Wickham claims that one of her biggest jobs is committee work, as she belongs to nine committees that meet reg ularly. Busy Summer Early in the summer Mrs. Mar jorie Cunningham arrived from her home state of South Dakota to take the job of assistant dean. During, the month when Mrs. Wickham took her vacation, and during which the former secretary resigned, Mrs. Cunningham had the entire respon sibility of preparing for rush week and the increased enrollment. Now she works in cooperation with Mrs. Wickham, and has charge of the ar rangement of social affairs. Mrs. Cunningham enjoys her job very much and has only two wants. Tilost of all she would like an apart ment, for she is sharing a small apartment in Gerlinger with Mrs. Stilwell, Gerlinger housmother. Secondly, she would like a new car. Can anyone help her? Writing let ters is a favorite hobby, as Mrs. Cunningham enjoys keeping in touch with college and home-town friends. As she talks on the tele phone Mrs. Cunningham is addicted to doodling. Doodle Artist “You know, I doodle, too,” broke in Mrs. Margaret Kopp, “but I just write up to nine and back down (Please turn to page seven) /1 Coed rWfiiteA. a Jlettefi,... jbeasi MySitle. .. Gee, honey, you’d never guess what! It’s Saturday night and here I am staying home (courtesy of the dean of women’s office) and pining —simply pining away, I tell you. You see it all happened last week end. Oh, what a terrific weekend! This absolutely divine Theta Nu ! Epsilon pledge asked me out, so natch I accepted. Well, darling, we : hit the most terrific night spots in Eugene, but the evening just was n’t long enough because when we left the White Palace for Tiny’s, it was five minutes till closing hours, but Bertram is such a persuasive boy and—oh well, you understand. Well, we finally got home at 4 a.m. (just imagine it) and as he was helping me climb in the base ment window along came the cam pus cop. Oh, boy! Then he called ’.he housemother, the dean of wom en, and numerous other officials. Then and there it was decided I should be campused until the win ter of 1962. But it was all so wonderful— sigh. Write soon, baby, and let me know everything. Hermanetta. Chet jbarUintf... I miss you so much, dearest, espe cially on Saturday nights. This weekend I had several chances to go out, but I just couldn’t bear to be with anyone else but you. That’s the reason I’m home studying tonight instead of out someplace. These boys down here are all such complete droops—none of them could ever compare with you. An awful jerk asked me out a week ago and although everybody else thinks he’s marvelous I simply can’t stand him (he’s just one ex ample). Well, I’ll continue this lonely Saturday night by myself, thinking of you. You must come down, soon—well not too soon, because although I want to see you very much, I have a terrific amount of studying to do and I find weekends the best time to do it. When I’m free again—that is, when I can let up on the books for a while, I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again. Love, Hermanetta. P.S. I repeat, there’s not one fel low on the campus I could even bear to look at, let alone go out with him. jbea/i Mam and Pap., Saturday night, and here I am studying. All the other girls have gone out, so it’s just a perfect night to catch up on everything. My roommate says I’m too se rious about college, but I feel that my work always comes before with all these books staring me in the face. The dean of women thinks I have the. right idea. ’Bye for now, and I hope you think I’ve been doing the right thing. .uove, Hermanetta. P-S.—Please send more money. P.P.S. Please let me know if you think this weekend studying is a good idea. I want your truthful opinion because we have always been so truthful in our family circle. I think you know that I have never lied to you or even shaded the act al truth, ever. As I said before the Dean thinks it’s a good idea and I know I have my housemother’s blessing. I honestly feel it is the only way that I can make an enviable pleasure. I simply couldn't go out record in college as I know you want me to do. Pome Past the soph boys Slowly go! Let the little Shavers grow— Whiskerino. —G.M.S. Fall Fashions By MARY HIBBITT and JACKIE WACHHORST Fashions from Portland to you! Leaving their four point destina tion behind and journeying north ward Oregon coeds went all out for other posts and goals. They were really dressed in their best whether at the game or taking part in the big party time. From Jantzen Beach to “Top of the Scott,” the gals I set the pace in smart outfits. Between touchdowns—there was plenty worth cheering about in the stands. For instance the team work of Ruth Eades and Joanie Irwin. Ruth added a point in her ever de sirable shirred beaver coat. It’s three-quarter length and full turned back cuffs showed a definite style trend. Attention was raining on Joanie with her 'fur-lined stadium boots. She was one of the few that avoided cold feet. Neat ’n’ Trim Rated for their neat, trim man ner and that custom-made look were suits worn by Dione Doree and Sue Sullivan. Dione’s suit feat ured the new box jacket. It was fashioned of navy ahd green clan plaid with huge gold buttons. True to the Irish, Sue in her emerald green suit which had dolman sleeves and a belted waistline. Reflecting a mood of elegance in mist gray was Janice Reid in a lux worn over a smartly tailored suit. Reminiscent of the early 20th cen tury was Joanie Lochead with her hair piled high on her head and wearing a gray suit accented by a swallow-tail in the back. A high collar and Silver coiled buttons com pleted the packet. Sequins With Black On to the night life . . . Noticed at various parties were Jeanie Fos ter in a timeless black frock with | a big-big puff of vari-colored S6t Women’s Sports Roundup Stars Hockey, Swimming By PHYLLIS LITZENBERGER lo all activity minded Betty Co-eds, fall term has special significance in the feminine sports scope.

These intramurals include diving, 60, 80, 100, and 220 free style relay medleys, back quins at the hipline. Bottle green velveteen was the choice of Jacquie Dilley. The saucy jacket of her suit was short and fluted at the waist. Silver buttons and a round collar added the finishing touches. Viva cious Miki Metcalf was seen danc ing in a black wool jersey bodice with a tangerine, kelly and yellow barber-pole striped skirt. More Black The gals have taken to glitter, and in particular was the dress worn by Sally Bernhardt. Its jet black quality was set off by a neck line completely aglow with powder pink sequins. A silhouette in black and white was Jean Merrifield. The white sequined blouse being a def ir, ite contrast to the black draped skirt. Catching the eye, Marigale Lund wore an electric blue crepe designed along smooth lines with a double flounce at the hipline. And on Campus Back to our campus haven we find Anita Jackson in a tailored butter beige corduroy jacket styled with a double pocket on one side. She wears it with a straight brown skirt. Under that Paris influence was a suit worn by Dorothy Kirk patrick. It is made of black and white tweed plaid and illustrates the very long jacket over the smart trim skirt. All heads turn towards those yummy goft cashmeres and Janet Barringer possesses one of the loveliest white ones which she wears with bright plaid skirts. stroke, breaststroke, and side stroke. From these intramurals the out standing- swimmers are selected to represent the University of Oregon in the national telegraphich swim ming meet February 26 and March This meet includes all the United States and Hawaii.
