Co-ed of the Week Scholarship And Activities "Interest Coed By Aileen Betschart “It's a privilege to work on a "" book of which the University has always been proud,” said tiny Olga . Yevtich, business manager of the 1948 and 1949 all-American Ore gana. Oregana work takes up a “ great deal of Olga’s time, but she is also secretary of Mortar Board and a senior representative on the ASUO executive council. At Commerce high in Portland she held some prominent posts, uch as president of the organized omen students and two major tudent body offices.

She is very proud of the fact that last year she climbed Mt. Theilsen, . which is 9100 feet high.

What the so-called liberals want is a candidate who’ll get in there and break up Henry Wallace’s monopoly on peace talk. UO Graduate Keeps Up Activities After College By Estelle Nordgren Since her graduation in 1924, Georgia Benson Patterson has done an excellent job of proving the^ old saying that “a woman’s place is in the home.” An econom ics major at the University, Geor gia was elected president of AWS and helped organize a women’s forum. After her graduation in 1924, she traveled in Europe. Until her mar riage to Paul Patterson in 1927, Georgia served as assistant dean of wom^i at the University. Mrs. Patterson carried the cam pus-developed ideal of service into her community in Hillsboro. She has been vice-president of the al umni association and was appoint ed to the State Board of Educa tion, representing home interests. More recently she helped revise the by-laws of the state Parent-Teach er association. But she has always preferred to remain in the back ground of the men in her life. First there was her grandfather, Simon Benson, who came to Wis consin from Norway in 1868, moved to the Northwest terf years later He started a family precedent for community service by endowing Portland’s Benson Polytechnic school, and donating the land around Muftnomah and Wahkeena falls for public parks. ' He also built the hotel that bears his name. To quench the thirst of visiting loggers, this earnest pro hibitionist gave Portland its nu merous four-tap water fountains. Georgia’s father, Amos Benson, a contractor, helped build the Tilla mook-Seaside highway. Husband Active Then there is Georgia’s husband, state senator from Washington county. They met when he was a silver-tongued law student at the University, and were married way 16, 1927. Since then, he has prac ticed law and served as deputy dis trict attorney and city attorney in Hillsboro. Like his wife, Mr. Patterson takes an active interest in com munity activities. He was scout master and Boy Scout director, promoted the Hi-Y club, and was head of the State Junior Baseball organization. He was elected pres ident of Rotarian, and of the Chamber of Commerce. The fourth man in Mrs. Patter son’s life is Paul Jr., frosh and Chi Psi at the University, who plans to major in math and physics. Paul has two sisters: Georgia, now Mrs. John Smithson, attends OSC, and Gamma, Pi Beta Phi Win In WAA Play; Final Week on Tap By Liz Erlandson Another week of WAA intramu ral volleyball ended last night with Gamma hall defeating Alpha Gamma Delta 40-17 and Pi Beta Phi beating Alpha Delta Pi 24-20. The other game scheduled was to have been Ann Judson house against Kappa Alpha Theta, with Ann Judson winning on a default when the Thetas failed to appear. Monday begins the final and fifth week of league competition with the following games on the schedule: Zeta Tau Alpha vs. Al pha hall, University house vs. Su san Campbell hall, and Rebec house vs. Heendricks hall. Thursday will see University house against Sigma Kappa, Ger linger hall vs. Delta Delta Delta, and Gamma Phi Beta vs. Gamma hall. Virginia Lee, 15, attends Hillsboro high school. Roses a Specialty Gardening is Mrs. Patterson’s di version. After a recent trip to Can ada, she found time to spade up the back play yard and plant the area with flowers. An enthusiastic rose-grower, she enters the Port land Rose Festival each year, often placing first in her class and win ning _several seconds and thirds. Although Mrs. Patterson believes firmly in planning ahead and mak ing every move count, her children learned early to do their own plan ning. She says: “I want my chil dren to do whatever work they wish if they are happy in it. Above all, they must never be ashamed of any job they have to do.” Frosh Commissions Feature Service By Shirley ’‘Thomas Aiding freshman women to find their goal in college, whether ac tivities or scholarship, and helping them meet girls from other living organizations—these are the func tions of the Freshman YWCA com missions. Four of the six freshman com missions are devoted to service, one to music, and one to drama. Each has a junior adviser. This year's advisers are Mary Stadelman, Bar bara Hentonr Zeta Sinclair, Nickie Murphy, Jeannine Macaulay, Jan ice Kent, Maggie Johns, and Pat Williams. Meetings are heled weekly. The first two this term were spent in gettting acquainted, learning more about the Y, and filling out interest sheets. Officers are elected from each commission, to promote student leadership. Reporters are chosen to gather the news for the Freshman Y com missions’ bi-weekly newspaper, the Winnette. Copies of the publica tion are distributed among all the commissions. The chaplain from each commis sion attends a worship workshop under the direction of Lou Weston, worship chairman. Here they learn the procedure of the devotional services. Chairmen and vice-chairmen at tend an informal party given by the junior commission for the pur pose of planning activities for the year. Already a frosh commission has given a party for the children in the spastic hospital, and has de signed Halloween favors for the veterans hospital in Klamath Falls. Last Thursday afternoon the problem of dating was discussed with the girls by several prominent campus men. All freshman women who have not yet discovered the many oppor tunities of the YWCA are urged to attend the freshman commission meetings.

Charlene Helgeson wears the customary rain wear, Leggy t't/., the popular • beret, and Margaret Edwards has the over-popular cloche. Fashion Foibles It seems to us that the fashion industry has really done a job, that of getting a hat onto the heads of those inveterate hat-rejectors, the college set. After years of eliest beating over the recaleitrant per versity of youth, turns out the gals are really perverse enough to switch around completely from their former attitude, and rush to the nearest hat counter with the object of being first in their set to cover their cropped locks. Wc are inclined to give credit for this enjoyable state of affairs where it's due. The millinery group have finally gotten around to the point where they actually are giv ing the girls hats they like. Perhaps it goes deeper than that. May be that our season's fashions have so generously cre ated the impression of bulk, “cov erage,” and in reality MORE clothes, that they have contributed to the feeling that heads also should be covered up a trifle more. Possibly the cropped heads which distinguish the smarter collegian just don’t look right without a hat. Even with this popularity of hats, we hardly dare to hope that winter’s winds will not continue to .bring a spate of those awful, awful white rags tied under the chin which seem to form the uni form of the feminine sex under 30. Maybe that’s too much to count on. What the girls buy are safe hats, hats they understand. They are small without being tiny, exceed ingly supple, and extremely plain. They wear them posed back of the hairline, just short of center, and they want them wide enough to THE TOAST wrmi WoTmmvmfcM CAMPUS JUMBO BARBEQDE 873 13th E 6096-W balance the width of their cheek bones. Silhouettes must be supple; cloches are staples without being latest news, but remain in the “safe hat" classification. Berets lead the sales; hats that sold best on Broadway and 34th sf root last Saturday, were berets of all types, including; those in velvet, Valana. cloth and spangled styles. They say “New short coiffures,” in Paris exhibit. “The key of the exhibit is new styles in hairdos to emphasize small head outlines anil short hair for day time. These un derline the soft feminine way in which short hair arrangements are carried out to harmonize with prey ent general trends in fashion. Boyish hohs and clipped necks are avoided, and the hair is left sufficiently long. to curl softly around the face. There is a ten dency to cover the oars. This is ac centuated for evening, when orna ments and hair transformations are proposed which still keep the headline small and distinct.”—M.F\ i, ...- -- .
