V * VOLUME XLIX_UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 1947 NUMBER 44 Theta Sigs Name New Miss Vogue Ruby Bienert Selected Style Contest Winner From 27 Candidates „ Ruby Bienert, freshman in lib eral arts, was named “Miss Vogue” yesterday afternoon at the Theta * Sigma Phi fashion show and tea in alumni hall. As winner of the contest, she was presented with a * corsage and a letter from the Nolph photographic salon entitling her to a complimentary portrait. Miss Bienert was selected “Miss Vogue” from a field of 27 girls, one selected from each women’s living organization. The candidates mod eled clothes representative of cam pus life, including campus and sports clothes, short Silks, formals, and nightwear. The new “Miss Vogue” was dressed in a black crepe dress with * a high neck, long sleeves, and a drape skirt. With it she wore a snakeskin belt and matching shoes. Harriet Vanatta, last year’s se . lection as “Miss Vogue,” was in troduced to those attending. Gerre Arnold, women’s director of radio station KUGN, commented on the clothes as they were modeled. . Those other than Miss Bienert reaching the finals were Bev Pit man, Pi Beta Phi; Jane Hull, Kap pa Kappa Gamma; Joyce Hansen, Hendricks hall; Isabell Young, Del ta Gamma; Betty Cox, Alpha Omi cron Pi; and Gloria Harrington, Alpha hall. - High Ticket - Cost Explained Here, according to Homecoming Chairman Mo Thomas, is the scoop on why those dance tickets cost . $2.80. It’s taking a small sum like « $1250 to wean Curt Sykes and his orchestra from the Trianon ball room in Seattle for the one night * stand in Eugene. Like most or chestras, Sykes has a pianist. The , dance committee is going to rent a piano for 25 bucks so the guy will have something on which to play. Programs and decorations will cost another $275. The committee has decided to rent ten davenports at a dollar each. As if this isn’t enough already, ticket sellers and guards want a $75 cut into the proceeds. And the fellow who cleans up after the af fair—he wants a ten spot. Don’t think you can get Mac court for nothing either. Rental on that will cost $30. The public ad dress system is being secured for $15. And here’s the joke. Those lit tle tickets for which you’re going to pay $2.80—it only cost the dance committee $10 to get all 1200 of the darn things printed. If all tickets are sold the com mittee will collect about $3300. Of this the government will take about $650 in taxes, and the alumni as sociation and the educational ac tivities will sjslit another $1000 be tween them. If you’re a business major and can figure this stuff out, according to Thomas, the profits from the dance will amount to exactly zero. Theta Sigma Phi Presents . . .
