“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. While in high
chool, Olga became active in the
Multnomah County Junior Red
Cross and after she was graduated,
she went to Washington, D. C., as
a county representative to the Na
>4 tional Junior Red Cross conven
tion.
Olga has held membership in Phi
I Theta and Delta Phi Alpha, Ger
man Honorary,
and in 1916 was
editor of the Pig
ger’s Guide. For
the last three
years she has
been house treas
urer of her soror
i t y , Alpha Xi
Delta. She main
tains a high grade
point average and
holds a number
of scholarships.

During the summers Olga works
for the National Park Service at
Crater Lake. She is very proud of
the fact that last year she climbed
Mt. Theilsen, . which is 9100 feet
high. The last part of the exciting
climb had to be made with the use
of ropes, and “there is only sitting
room for ten people on the sum
mit,” she recalled. Besides hiking,
Olga is fond of boating, swimming,
and badminton. She hopes to be
working at Yellowstone National
park next summer.
A loyal supporter of the foot
ball team, Olga is eagerly await
ing next Saturday when she will
journey to OSC for the game. She
makes hundreds of shorthand notes
as reminders to herself, and is con
stantly being razzed about the
cluttered condition of her desks.
A psychology major, Olga is in
terested in doing personnel or
clinical work in the future. She has
had pipe dreams of working in Eur
ope; one of her biggest ambitiions
is to bicycle through Europe with
a student group.

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

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.
Petitions Asked

Petitions are still being accept
ed for the AWS Christmas bene
fit, December 4, according to Jean
nine Macaulay, general chairman.
The deadline for petitions is Mon
day, and they can be turned in to

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
