Delta Sigma convention to be held this June in Chicago was also discussed 'Weekend' Beauty Finalists Chosen Six Blondes, Two Brunettes Are Tapped To Enter Final Contest for Queenship Gentlemen—and ladies too—still seem to prefer blondes, for that old adage was upheld yesterday when six of the eight Junior Weekend finalists for queen and court ranged from honey-colored to dark blondes. Chosen from two dozen women who were entered by their living organizations, the eight juniors include: Jean Barringer, interior design; Pat Davi«, interior design; Nina Sue Fernimen, psychology; Norma Figone, business administration; Bobbie Fullmer, anthropology; Janis Petersen, art; Sallie Timmens, journalism, and Joanne Utz, advertising. For Jean Barringer, who hails from Washington high in Portland, the honor is still a thrill, but not a new experience, for Miss Barringer was a Rose Festival princess when in high school. The tall, sophisticated Pi Beta Phi is a blue-eyed blonde—and house manager of her sorority. Tigard's Pat Davis can also boast another royal position, for she ruled as junior prom queen and as DeMolay Sweetheart Princess for the Portland chapters during her high school days. One of the two brunettes named, this Chi Omega is nearly five feet seven inches, and has brown eyes. Klamath Falls will be proud of Nina Sue Fernimen, for the five foot four inch blonde hails from that country. Sue, president of Highland house, is interested in flying and dramatics, in addition to her psychology major. A brown-eyed blonde is Norma Figone, a candidate who attended Commerce high in Portland, her home city. Working part-time in the comptroller’s office, Norma still found time to participate in colleg and Alpha Gamma. Delta activities, and was a Kwama when a sophomore.

Oregon Erudites Have Queries, No Answer To Atomic Riddle By AL ENGLISH The blind are leading the blind these days at Oregon. Three of the University’s list of high school commencement speakers, drawn from the faculty, admit their own atomic age confusion in the topic they have selected for their ad dresses. The May 1 number of the Oregon state system of higher education leaflet series will reveal that our pedagogic think ers, borne down with the weight of post-war problems, are asking “Where Do We Go from Here?” The departments of architecture, personnel administration, and physical education all show this bafflement. Meanwhile, over at Eastern Ore gon college in La Grande there is less self-searching instrospec tion in the registrar’s query “Where Do You Go From Here?” At Corvallis the worried sa vants seem to be hearing already the ominous rumble of The Bomb's explosion. Oregon State’s dean of women even now queries in alarm: “What’s under Your Feet?” and “How Alive Are You?” Not one to twiddle his thumbs, the president of Southern Oregon college at Ashland wants to know “What Shall We Do Now?” In the commencement halls the modern era has clearly replaced a former age, an old-timer points out. Not one of the speakers will stirringly declaim that “Beyond the Alps Lies Italy.” Perhaps the American Fifth Army has shat tered all the rhetorical charms of the peninsula.
