F. t This week we have been talking to a few of the coeds whom we con sider typical on this campus. The question we have asked them is, what do you consider the perfect weekend ? That smooth sophisticate Brenda Duff Brenda, whom we all recog nize by her contact lenses, claims that her weekend is not complete without one night at the El Capitan. We found Miss Brenda reclining on a chaise lounge on her second floor sleeping porch, “I’ve been every place, seen everything there is to see, dronk everything there is to dronk and to me that is the essence of all. That smooth floor, the subtle rhythm of the Russel Trio, that beautiful walnut, kidney shaped bar—ahhh, T could want nothing more.” Activity minded Anna Committee threw up her hands in dismay at the tfuestion and said, “Oh, I just can’t put my finger on it, it’s in every pie. I usually start early Saturday morn ing in the Side walking up and down the aisles and continue until late at night looking for people.’’ Aris Toddle said, "Contrary to burgeois belief, we scholars like to live a dangerous life, too.” She glanced around nervously and add ed. “Why only yesterday, ‘I Saw the Big Sleep’.” Or magnolia Magnolia Lee looked up from her corn pone and black-eyed peas and said in a velvety voice, “It really doesn’t rnattah, honey, the boys al wahs seem to have such a good tahm. On weekends mah hospital ity just seems to ooze out all over.” Boola Dazzle, who is constantly coupled with one of the football he roes spends quiet weekends in her living room. “Fearless and I usual ly order- about eight quarts of i^mogenized milk. He drinks it be cause he’s in training, I drink it for my ulcer.” less than 20 miles away,-” she added as proof. Sports Fan Very active in sports, her per sonal favorite is basketball, which she has played extensively, with golf and fishing runners-up. “I have much to learn about Oregon fish ing, for a stream in Oregon is much rougher than one in Illinois,” she commented. Prior to coming to Oregon, Miss Coleman had lived and worked in the states of Illinois and Iowa, after her graduation from the Univer sity of Iowa, and teaching for 12 years at Normal, Illinois. “I want ed to come to the west coast for the scenery and because I like the people,” she said. Rain a Surprise “I hadn’t planned on so much rain, but I am even getting used to that. I had also heard of the reputation of Oregon’s physical education de partment for a solid program,” she went on to say. Working toward her master’s de gree, Miss Coleman is taking cours es under the G.I. bill of rights, as well as teaching classes in volley ball and fundamentals. ‘‘I enjoy young people very much,” declared Miss Coleman, who has had con tact with them through Girl Scout work as well as teaching. Fall Fashions By MARY HIBBITT and JACKIE WACHHORST As life gTows gayer by the day and weekend dates stack up in ad vance, now is the time to take a brief reconnaissance through your closet and analyze the situation. It’s a prima idea to plan your what-to wear-when for future events. Don’t look longingly at clothes you’ve worn several times and think that they are hopeless. Look with an eye to what needs pepping up. Just around the corner—in every woman’s mind—there is a new con cept, or original idea, as to how to attain a new and different look . . . maybe a flashing gilt belt or printed scarf added to that old basic black, a big flower for that soft wool, or a sparkle of costume jewelry on that timeless suit. The source of origin ality is boundless. Arrangement To save time and temper when you’re dressing, think ahead what you will wear when, arrange your clothes in such a manner on the closet rack, check the little things like buttons, hems and shoulder pads before putting your clothes away. Clothes well pressed in ad vance will never cause a wrinkle in your brow when time is precious. Women with the most successful wardrobes never underestimate the importance of their winter coats. A good brushing and pressing can do wonders to enhance its appearance. A distinctive basic coat which can be worn for campus and date-time is a definite advantage for the di versified life you live today. Neat and soft bandanas to match or con trast with your coats may always add a completely new interest.
