By AILEEN BETSCHART

developed an interest in activities
while she was at Grant high school
in Portland. In her freshman year
at Oregon she was active in the
YWCA and AWS, and was a mem
ber of the Frosh Glee committee.
Besides beeing a Kwama she col
lected money for the Red Cross
and WSSF drives last year, and
was chairman of committees for
the International Festival and the
AWS tea.
“Maggie” is now a junior ad
viser, in the YWCA, and head of
promotions for WSSF. She is rush
ing chairman for her sorority, Del
ta Gamma, and has been president
of her class since she was a pledge.
Tall, dark Maggie was born in
the Philippine islands and has two
other sisters, “Ellie,” a Kwama,
and Barbara, who was a Mortar
Board member and president of
AWS before she graduated last
June.
A BA major, Maggie is extreme
ly interested in merchandising and
her future plans include becoming
a buyer and doing some traveling.
She received some experience for
merchandising as a model for
Meier and Frank company during
the summer. She usually occupies
her summers by making her own
clothes.
As an outlet of her emotions she
plays “slap,” which she prefers to
bridge. She enjoys all kinds of mu
sic, and likes to swim and play
garden golf. Watching football
games is also one of her favorite
pastimes.
“I like people more than any
thing,” says Maggie. She can’t find
anything wrong with Oregon; she
likes everybody and everything
about the school. The only thing
she dislikes is disorganization, “but
I do like surprises and the unex
pected,” she added.

I Oregon Like Home in Chile
By DONNA KLETZING
A bright, excited, red-headed
girl, Maria Teresa Montenegro is
from Chile and is taking graduate
work in the University oil a schol
arship.
Maria, who is taking courses in
speech defects, remedial reading,
and education, explained that she
will return to Chile in June when
she hopes to receive her master's
degree. In Chile, she was a student
at the University of Concepcion
and graduated from the University
of Chile in Santiago. “I will teach
maybe in a University in Chile and
use what I am learning,” she said.
“My city is very similar to here,”
Maria said, adding that it is maybe
greener here, “but we have pine
trees, mountains with snow, lakes,
and lots of rain too.” Her city is
Concepcion, which, she explained,
was founded by a woman, and, is
now paid for through lotteries. The
city is a college town and “has a
tower in the very center with a
clock on top. We go clear to the
top and can see all of the city, the
mountains, the University, and all
from there.”
Speaking of football games,
Maria was enthusiastic. She
made the trip to Portland two
weeks ago, staying with an Ore
gon girl. “I went to the game
wearing an Oregon mum,” she
said excitedly. “Afterward we
went to a show and then had
Chinese food.” It was her first
contact with Chinese food—and
she loved it.
"A funny thing,” she said, "is
that I don’t know if I'm gaining
weight or not. You see, in Chile we
measure it in kilos and here in
pounds!”
The rooters lids were especially
appealing to Maria. She bought
one for herself and her friend after
trying on the different sizes and
said "I want to take one home with
me!”
Her library experiences are var
ied. One incident she mentioned
was that of a couple of days ago
a fellow fell from his chair in the
stacks—“He was just sitting there
and pfoff! I just about died laugh
ing,” she said.
Maria received a scholarship
from the Oregon Federation of
Women’s clubs through the Chil
ean-Amcrican Cultural institute.
She stated that her name was cho
sen from ten others given to the
Oregon group from a New York
office.
