Faculty, Theater Guild Join In Tribute to Ethel Sawyer By PAT KING “Her great talent was for people, ii.nd her influence was not limited tt> the library, nor to the Brows ing room, nor to office hours, nor ko formal duties; it was felt wheir ver she happened to be.” Thus a tribute was made by a cember of the University faculty to the late Miss Ethel Sawyer, a ivoman who was nationally recog nized as outstanding in her pro i ession as a librarian and well re . embered by students as head of 1 he Browsing room in the campus t brary.

In 1914 she was chosen by the j Library Association of Portland as i the director of a training class for | librarians which became nationally recognized under her tutelage. Born in Connecticut in 1880, she grew up in the traditions of a New ! England family. It was her beloved maiden aunt who saw that she had the advantages of a liberal arts ed- j ucation at Wesleyan (then coedu-; cational) from which she graduat-: ed magna cum laude. Under Mary Wright Plummer at Pratt institute she did graduate work and devel oped her strong individuality. Books to Shape Mind While she believed it necessary to ^explore and define existing needs, she warned against devotion ' to surveys, researches, and tabula-1 tions. To her ‘the emphasis lay in j the use of books as vital instru- j ments for awakening and reshap ing the mind, although she protest ed the attitude of knowledge for its own sake. ' In the Browsing room, where she became most well known andToved ! by the students, stands a picture! of the thoughtful, white-haired i woman with a collection of her se- i lected papers "We Who Honor books.” Ethel Sawyer always disliked the name "Browsing Room” and its connotation. She was once heard to remark, “The metaphor is sadly overworked. ‘Browsing’ suggests sheep or goats or ‘contented cows.” We do so much more than just browse. 100 Gals Find (Continued from f'(u/e three) dressers, chairs and a daybed. Yet problems arise with the question of furnishing, for the co op gal must supply her own bed ding, lamps and interior decorating accessories. She must see that her bedding is clean. Sheets and pillow cases must be sent weekly to the laundry with towels. Personal laundry is done in the basement of the house. . Girls Social-Minded With all the housework, the out side jobs, and studying-, the girls still find time to participate—and actively in campus social affairs. They get together for desserts and house dances, faculty desserts, and for the girls only, Sunday evening firesides. Occasional -dinner guests help liven the evening meals. Not to be outdone in sports,: either, the three co-ops have or ganized house teams in volleyball, basketball and softball. Individual I girls participate on the badminton, swimming and tennis teams. It’s not easy keeping up with the , campus social life and carrying two j jobs at once. But a majority of the girls are at least partly self-sup-j porting and many of them are j wholly self-supporting. Those who! work carry an average of 10 to 20 \ hours of outside work per week. ; A favorite job with the pin-mon- j ey earners is baby-sitting, which leaves time for studying. Many of the girls do housework and the campus offices are filled with co-op girls keeping up with the high cost of living by bringing home an extra j pay check. They can be found in the English, education, speech and drama offices and in the news bu reau and library. Others find time to put in hours in off-campus busi nesses—clerking in downtown stores and accompanying musical programs. Several of the co-op dwellers are students on the GI bill and find the government's allotment goes fur ther when it’s supplemented by the lower-cost co-lop rental system and by some outside work. All these activities are regulated by several administrative groups. The housemothers act as “mothers away from home” to the girls. At University house, Mrs. Lela Fenton does the honors; at Highland, it’s Mrs. Doris Smith; and Mrs. David Morgan has charge at Rebec. Incorporated Counciil The Co-ed Co-op council, the gov erning body of the three co-op houses, is incorporated under Co-ed Housing Inc. The council is com posed of the four officers from each house, the treasurer of the council—a permanent paying posi tion—the manager, who does all the buying for' the three houses and an adult adviser. The council is kept in order by a president and secretary elected from the officers representing the houses. At present, such duties fall upon Geneva Davis (University house), president; Eva Paronen (Highland house), secretary; Charlotte Parr, treasurer; Mrs. Robert Willian, manager, and Mrs. Ralph Huestis, adviser. These fifteen women have com plete control of the whole co-op or ganization for co-eds on this-cam pus. They make the policies for all houses and decide on the cost of board and room. Menus are made a week in advance by the three house cooks and the manager, Mrs. Wil lian. Living in a co-op is much the same as living in any of the wom en’s houses. Regulations include the same hours and general rules, with individual house rulings. This lat ter includes ten minutes of extra work for every minute a girl misses her time deadline. Applications for membership in a co-op are discussed and accepted 1 by the individual houses. Accept- j ances are based on financial need, grades and activities in nigh School, ABOUT YOUR SHAPE? i "The healthy way is the slim way." i Fine Quality Meat i at the Eugene Packing Co. S. & 11.

New girls are taken into the house by a vote of the girls who have lived in the house one 'term or more. Racial and religious discrimination are never exercised in the selection of co-op girls. Those selected find their experi ences in the co-op well worth their while. They pay lower board and room fees than anyone on the cam pus and develop a cooperative spirit by doing house jobs together. The girls become better acquainted because they’re in smaller groups. They have opportunities to learn social graces and group govern ment. And they find that sharing 'the financial problem of going to school and keeping up standards is a common bond that is fun to hold. Sunday Concert .
