Mystery Writer Reveals Career
Before Journalism Honorary
Highlighting the eighteenth an
nual Matrix Table sponsored by
Theta chapter of Theta Sigma Phi,
national women’s professional jour
nalism fraternity, Friday night was
a talk by Helen Ross. Mrs. Ross,
Seattle mystery writer, told mem
bers and friends of the organiza
tion, about her personal experi
ences as a writer and the future for
writers in the Northwest.
A mystery story writer must be
accurate, the speaker emphasized.
You can’t kill a person with the
wrong technique on paper. If you
do, your readers will tell you about
it, she declared.
Arriving at mystery story writ
ing via the channel of love, Mrs.
Ross amused the group with tales
of the different methods she used
to kill the victims in her mystery
novels. While writing love stories,
she was more interested in the
mystery than in the love angle. Af
ter rejections of her love stories,
she tore up clinches and took up
bodies.
Psychoanalysts can be used ad
vantageously in stories these days,
Mrs. Ross said. The writer must
know it well, she warned, or not
use it at all. The market is crowded
with writers who are would be
psychoanalysts.
“Write about something with
which you are familiar,” the speak
er continued. If you know a local
ity, certain types of personality, or
situations well, you can embody
them into stories which will seem
more convincing to your reader,
she said. Mrs. Ross has used many
personal experiences as plots for
her murders.
Writers, like detectives, must al
ways look forward and tackle the
problems at hand, Mrs. Ross de
clared. However, publishers will ac
cept good material at any time and

erator in two weeks.
no problem will be too great if a
person will always do his best.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. George S. Turnbull, adviser
of Theta Sigma Phi. Mrs. Turnbull
was given a gift by chapter presi
dent Maryann Thielen in apprecia
tion of the work that she has done
for the group.
Miss Thielen was mistress of cer
emonies and introduced the out
standing senior from University
high school, Diane Richards; out
standing senior in journalism from
Eugene high school, Pat Kurley;
outstanding freshman in journal
ism, Anita Holmes; outstanding
sophomore in journalism, Barbara
Heywood; and the 10 new Theta
Sigma Phi pledges.
Wayne Sherwood, senior in mu
sic, and Claire Lewis, junior in mu
sic, entertained with selections
from the "Beggar’s Opera,” which
is to be presented on the campus
next month, and modern favorites.
