'Be Casual' Is Advice To Incoming Freshman (To help freshman girls with the ever present problem of “What to Bring and What to Leave Home,” Phyllis McMahon, a senior who knows the ropes, has written the following bits of advice. Here is THE WORD from Phyl.) By PHYLLIS McMAHON Be casual and you can’t go wrong. Comfortable and colorful sweater and skirt combinations are always just the right thing to wear to daytime classes or evening informal firesides. Bring bobby socks to wear with these, and tuck them into saddles, wooden shoes, or strollers. A good gabardine, covert, or camel’s hair overcoat is in order to Keep you warm ana ary. it s a good idea to have it waterproofed or better yet wear a raincoat. Bandanas are a must. They help to keep that curly hair from falling naturally straight, and they are gay and colorful, too. Be sure to include jeans, shorts, slacks, or peddle pushers to wear for picnics, peddling, or just plain housework. For F. E. Majors If you are the outdoor type by all means bring your boomerang, bicy cle, and badminton set, to say noth ing of the golf clubs, skis, and the tennis racket. Suits are wonderful wear for everything—from classes to con certs, with saddles or heels. Bring a couple, and for Sunday dinners and most campus dances you can’t do without a “short silk” dress. Count on a dress hat and a couple of casuals for weekends in Port land. t. Don’t think a,, fur coat is neces sary, because it isn’t. Most girls here don’t wear them. A smooth, trimly cut cloth dress coat is the wiser choice. Forma Is Needed Formals are fun, and you will want a gown or two to wear to the dances or formal dinners on the campus. Rooms in student houses and dormitories are equipped with most of the necessary furnishings. In the dorms only drinking glasses and towels are required. The school fur nishes linens and two blankets. But it might be a good idea to bring along an extra blanket for those frosty nights. If you live in a sorority or a co op, you will have to bring blankets, towels, sheets, pillows, and dresser scarves. Radios are permitted, and remember that a portable has more possibilites for pleasure. Leave Something Home You will find that your worldly goods at college have a way of col lecting. Don’t bring too much, or you’ll find yourself with more than you can send home come spring term. This is no style show down here. Contrary to what you may have heard, this is not a country club. So bring your brains. You’ll need them all year long. See you in September. Sociology Adds New Assistant Mrs. Tsoo King of Shanghai, China, recently accepted a posi tion as graduate assistant in the sociology department. She will start work in September. A graduate of the University of Shanghai, Miss King received her B.A. degree there in 1937. While in China she worked at the Peiping Union medical college as a social worker in home finding, a general social worker, and a social worker in the psychiatry department. She also worked in the head quarters of the Chinese national relief and rehabilitation adminis tration in Shanghai. Other work included translation of 50 articles "^of American and British authors on social science and literature. Freshmen Should Have Acceptance Notices of admission have been mailed to virtually all new Univer sity students, according to Clifford L. Constance, associate registrar. He warned new students who have not received a notice of admission to write to the University at once. Before school starts all new stu dents will receive a physical exam ination blank, which will have to be filled out by the student’s own doctor. This is a departure from previous years’ procedure, when University doctors gave complete physical examinations. During freshman week the new student will turn in his physical examination blank, receive a chest x-ray, and a further examination by the school of health and physi cal education. New students who are not as sumed of housing were also warned to write to the University. Per sons expecting to live in dormitor ies should write to the director of dormitories on the campus, while those expecting to live in Eugene should write to the housing secre tary at the University. The deans of women and men handle applica tions for student cooperative hous es and for rushing for Greek-letter organizations. Students desiring employment during the year should contact the employment secretary. Art School Gets Space Arrangements have been made by President H. K. Newbum for the use of 2500 square feet of space in the University’s new and mod ern concrete warehouse, by the school of architecture and allied arts this fall. An area 43% feet by 45 feet is being converted into a small audi torium and a drafting room to ac commodate 50 students. The space is designed to help take care of the large enrollment of lower division students in drawing, graphic art, and design. Three Oregon Alumni Hold Association Jobs University of Oregon alumni hold three of the 36 positions on the National Council of the Amer ican Association of University Professors. They are Dr. Harold N. Lee, chairman of the depart ment of philosophy in Sophie New comb college, Tulane university and member of the Oregon class of 1922; Orlando John Hollis, dean of the University of Oregon law school and member of the class of 1926; and Edward Hicks of the class of 1934. Dr. Lee is on the summer school staff here this year. Pay Measure Fails to Pass The hopes of 3,000 Oregon veter ans that their government subsist ence checks would be increased next year were dashed this summer when congress adjourned without passing the bill. The measure would have in creased the subsistence allowances of single veterans in college to $75 a month, and would have raised the allowances for a married man to $105, and for a married man with children to $120. The senate passed the measure the week before adjournment, and passage by the house of represen tatives was believed assured, but when the house adjourned the measure was in the stack of unfin ished business. The bill was spon sored by Oregon’ Senator Wayne L. Morse, who was supported by Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Morse had said he introduced the bill in the hope that its provisions could take effect at the beginning of fall term. Assistant Dean of Men Appointed Virgil S. Fogdall of Northern Montana college, Havre, Montana, has been named assistant dean, of men. The new personnel man received his baccalaureate degree from Ottawa university, Ottawa, Kans., in 1932, and his masters degree in 1934 from Iowa. His major fields of study included history, political science, education and educational administration, and psychology. From 1934 to 1940 he was in structor of social studies and director of publications in the Junior college at Burlington, Iowa, and from 1940 to 1946 was dean of the junior college. In 1946 he took the position at Northwen, Mon tana, as dean of men. He has also held positions with the Great A. & P. Tea company, the civil aeronau tics authority, and the war de partment. He is a member of Phi Kappa Delta, forensics honorary, Phi Gamma Mu, social science honor ary, National Education associa tion, and the National Society for the Study of Education. The new assistant dean will arrive on the campus August 15. University Girl Wins Redhead Roundup Title Barbara Bennett, University of Oregon co-ed, has been selected as “purtiest” redhead at the Taft, the "purtiest” redhead at the Taft, Ore., Redhead Roundup, walking away with all honors including a big gold cup. She was sponsored at the event by the Whiskalantes Committee of the junior chamber of commerce of Eugene, who were theer advertising the Oregon Trail pageant to the coast dwellers. Miss Bennett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Carnutt of Eugene, was schooled here, and is now running for the title of Suzanne VI, Queen of the Oregon Trail pageant. Federation Director Expects Fewer, Veterans This Fall Most of the freshman class of 1951 will be high school grad uates coming straight to the University without taking the almost traditional military stop-over, in the opinion of Harry Glickman, director of the Oregon Federation. Glickman who has been touring the state all summer assist ing prospective students, finds very few veterans attending federation meetings. Most of the students who attend the films and talks, sponsored by students, al umni, and business groups, seem to be in the 18 to 20 age bracket, he finds. Earlier in the summer he visited the principal cities in eastern Ore gon, swinging south to southern Oregon in July. He will visit the coast and Willamette valley in August. Sometimes he is accom panied by a coach or two, but us ually he visits the town alone, shows the film on campus life and answers questions about the Uni versity. Climax of the federation’s activ ity will be the Jantzen Beach pic nic August 21. Other promotion work in Portland includes the es talishment of an information desk at one of the department stores. Plans are under way for similar services in other cities.
