In stead she hopes to do government research work. This ambition stemmed from her earlier desire to be a doctor. At present, said the Little Cap tain, with a note of discourage ment in her voice, she is trying to learn how to play bridge. She initiated this extra-curricular ac tivity when she ran out of per sons to present with her knitted argyle socks. Her father is cur rently sporting his Christmas gift of argyles featuring a green toe on one sock and a red toe on the other. Mary Margaret is a member of Pi Beta Phi and her parents live in Eugene.
