Bernie and Ashwell, two well-known campus figures, discuss the average
coed, the University of Oregon, the Side, and life in general as they
rendezvous beside an ashtray.
Side Cigarets Bewail Fate
As Coeds Continue Bridge
•- By SMOKY
A strange conversation was overheard the other day at the
Side coming in on a special frequency not usually audible to
human ears. Though interrupted by the usual human static of
gossip, gripes, and miscellaneous trivia, a "reliable source”
reports hearing the following conversation between two ciga
rettes :
Since the real names, of these two cannot be divulged, we
will call them Berme and Ashwell to
conceal their identity. Any similar
ity to actftal cigarettes, living or
dead, is purely coincidental.

While a; blonde on his right was
bidding one no-trump, Ashwell
peered out of his package and leered
at Bemie who was just on the other
side of, the..ashtray: “Good after
noon and L(. S. M. F. T. to you,

Beauty on the Sp«t
It has been stated that no two snowflakes fall alike. This
same statement could very easily be applied to sjkiers.
With the recent organization of the ski club here at Ore
gon it seems an established fact that the ski season is officially
underway.
There’s a certain thrill (or spill) about balancing oneself on
two, long narrow boards and swishing down the hillside. Of

In its search for the University’s “Unknown Sweetheart,”
the women’s page publicity-man-on-the-spot opened tlic rig
gers’ Guide, put his finger on a name, and found the first con
testant for the campaign. The results are printed herewith.
947? .. . yup. Is Peggy Finnell there? vup. Tell her that she
is the number one gal for theEmerald’s “Unknown Sweetheart”
Contest this week. Yup.
This sort of monologue could have gone on all afternoon so
I thought it best to go over and interview her personally . . .
and to say the least it was a pleasant surprise.
The smooth 21-year-old Pi Phi fit the qualifications to the
letter . . . not a big wheel on the
campus, no columns of committee
appointments, no closet full of vari
colored sweaters with unknown
hieroglyphics labeled thereon, and
without an honorary to her name.
Vital Statistics
Name: Miss Peggy Finnell,
weight . . . she didn’t say; height,
5 feet 6y2 inches; eyes, green, age,
21; home, San Francisco; year, jun
ior; looks, judge for yourself.
“I wanted to major in journal
ism when I came to Oregon,” she
confessed, ‘‘because during the war
a gal at least had a chance in that
field. In another year I’m going to
work for United Airlines as a stew
ardess, and ultimately hope to wind
up on the San Francisco-Honolulu
run.”
Peggy is no stranger to Hawaii,
as she took the Matsonia over this
summer to visit her sister. After
hearing definitely from the airline
as to when she would report for
duty, Peg switched over to liberal
arts to cram in a few courses on
cooking and management which
would help her in her job.
Likes Sports
“I’m learning how to cook meals
on an airplane which come already
prepared,” she laughed. “What
sports do I like ? Well, swimming,
riding, football games and basket
ball are tops with me.” When ques
tioned about the current Oregon
football team she nearly blew her
coffee out the wihdow.

week-old pancake covered with felt,
completed with a microscopic brim,
but she defended herself with a

course the discouraging part of it
all is that once you reach bottom
you must again make the uphill
climb.
To become a skier, I'm told, you
need four things—a mountain, a
pair of skis, strong bones and an
optimistic attitude. With the ac
knowledgement of these important
elements, the rest might be consid
ered relatively simple.
A word of caution to beginners—
your most deadly enemy is the tree!
Glorified as the thing might be in
Joyce Kilmer’s beautiful poem,
“Trees,” to the skier the problem of
preserving them for the poets is
rather difficult.
In observance of current weather
conditions here on the campus, per
haps we should be directing this
subject toward water skiing.
Nevertheless, the popularity of
skiing is increasing each year. Note
to California students! You should
be brushing up on your skiing tech
niques, too, as recent weather re
ports indicate that you may be ski
ing home for Christmas.
The preceding facts and opinions
do not guarantee mastery of the art
of skiing— however, it is really very
surprising the number of friends
one meets in snow games.
Next week’s Beauty on the Spot
will be Ruth Allen. Her article of
not more than 800 words is due Mon
day at the Emerald offices.
