Travel Rate High
With 'Goetze'
June Goetze has always been in
terested in publication work. At
the present time she is associate
editor of the Emerald and presi
cent oi Theta
Sigma Phi, wom
en’s journalism
fraternity.
Before coming
to college, June
worked for the
Jeffersonian, hei
high school pa
per, and did some
work for The
Oregonian. She
covered Pacific^
Lll VY LOL V/ U 1 -
lege Congress for the Emerald in
.. her freshman year, and helped
bring home a sfecond place award
for the Emerald.
She was both a co-news editor
and an assistant news editor of
the Emerald before this term, and
' she has also written for Old Ore
gon and done work in the Pigger’s
Guide.
June has served on several pub
licity committees, and was public
- ity chairman for Junior Weekend
last spring. Editor of Mortar Board
she has also been a Kwama and a
Phi Theta.
She holds the distinction of be
. ing a member of the Three o’Clock
club, an informal and exclusive
group of Emerald workers who of
' ten work late. Their prime func
tion is to publish a sheet of their
own in which they generally kid
each other.
As a representative to the Theta
Sig national convention, June
found an opportunity to do some
traveling. The convention was held
at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but June
took the long route and visited
Texas, Mexico, and California. “One
taste of travel was enough to
make me believe that it is fun,”
says June, who hopes to travel
more after graduation. One of her
‘ roommates is from Hawaii, and she
has convinced June that Hawaii
, would be a good place to go.
About the Theta Sig convention
itself, June said she “picked up
helpful tips by comparing notes
with delegates from different
schools.”
She has had experience as a re
porter with the Lebanon Express
and she was treasurer of Susan
Campbell hall when she lived there
last year.
She has a peculiar craving for
ice cream which she will eat any
time, any day. Her explanation for
this is, “I guess it just shows that
I haven’t grown up yet.”
She is often associated with Bob
olee Brophy, from whom she is al
most inseparable. When they were
assistant news editors for the Em
erald, they were tagged the “gold
dust twins,” a nickname which still
exists

Planned by WAA
By Barbara Nasburg
The aim of the Women’s Athletic !

In addition to its variety of ac

YWCA Helps With
Childrens Hospital
.
Just behind Kieth’s pharmacy on
Alder stands a homey-old-fash
ioned, white house with one un
usual feature—a slanted, covered
corridor running down to the side
walk.
This is the Children’s hospital
school. One of the major service
projects of the YWCA, the school
is attended by crippled and spastic
children who are unable to enroll
in the public schools.
Twenty-six children, between the
ages of 2 and 13 years, are en
rolled in the hospital school. The
younger children attend in the
morning, and the older ones in the
afternoon.
Dorothy Collier, YMCA counsel
or who cooperates with Blanche
Markham, a supervisor of the
school has arranged a schedule for
all University women interested in
the school to work there one or two
hours a week.
These girls assist the children
with exercises, direct games, play
the piano, help the regular staff of
physiotherapists and teachers.
“The girls from®the University
are doing a fine job in helping the
children and contributing to their
happiness,” said Miss Markham.

Portland's First Woman Mayor
Advises Vocational Preperation
By Estelle Nordgren
\\ hat does it take to become a woman mavor?”
iMis. Doiothy McCullough Lee, Portlands first woman
mayoi-elect, answcied the (juestioii with customary gracious
ncss and thoroughness.
Since it s still a man s world to some extent, a woman lias
to be better than average to get by in a highly competitive age.”
She believes that women of to-.---—■—— -
She believes that women of to
morrow- should prepare them
selves today to do their part, in
proportion to their intelligence,
education, and experience.
“It is particularly important that
a girl se{ the* specific training for
the vocation of her choice. If at
all possible, she should get it ’all in
one piece.’ The girl who interrupts
her education to work finds it much
more difficult to resume it.”
Mrs. Lee made up her mind to be
an attorney while attending San
Francisco high school. After get
ting her BA degree at the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley, she
earned a doctorate in jurisprudence
in 1923 at the law school there. She
practiced law until her marriage to
W. Scott Lee in 1924.
More Opportunities Now
“In my generation,” she continu
ed, woman's job horizon was limit
ed. But today you can find success
ful women in every line of endeav
or. There is an unlimited future for
women. Demands of the growing
West Coast population stimulate
industry. In time, this expansion
may make this part of U. S. large
ly self-sufficient, with a large vista
of opportunity for both men and
women.”
Mrs. Lee had just returned from
the American Public Works cong
ress in Boston. She also appeared
before the New York Herald Tri
bune forum in New York. She
recently visted and studied U. S.
cities under the city manager form
of government. A Portland public
utilities commissioner, she carried
on a high standard of campaigning
on a constructive basis, and was
swept into office on one of the most
overwhelming votes of confidence
in Oregon's political history.
“When I take office as mayor of
Portland in January 1949,” stated
Mrs. Lee, “my new duties will not
be a radical departure from those
I’ve become used to in 20 eyars Of
public service. My ambition is to
give my city efficient, clean sound
administ ration.
Early Start in Politics
Mrs. Lee got her start in politics
when a group of civic-minded wo
men chose her to represent their
viewpoint in legislature. A com
paratively unknown Portland attor
ney in 1926, she was defeated in the
race for representative. “By then,”
she reminisced, “I’d smelled
smoke.” Two years later she ran
again and tasted triumph.
A careful student of all types of
legislation, she was especially
forthright about measures affect
ing women, children, welfare, edu
cation, and employment. She was
in the legislature 15 years and on
the Portland city council 8 years.
Miss Gladys M. Everett who with
Mrs. Lee formed the first Portland
all-women law partnership, became
the first woman to act as municipal
judge. Mrs. Lee followed her pre
cedent in 1943, serving on the court
bench during the absence of Judge
Julius Cohn.
Regarding women in politics Mrs.
Lee advises that they must first
realize that sex has no place in poli
tics. They must never seek or per
mil special favors or deferment on
(lie part of men. Above all, they
should not indulge in personalities,
lint work toward an impersonal
goal. “Men will support women,”
she concluded, "if convinced they
are well-informed, realistic, anil
sincere in their purposes.”
‘iClubs have taught women to
think together and act as units. The
next step is for women to work as
individuals, discarding sensitive
ness and learning to be objective.
This calls for more courage, for an
individual loses much of the moral
support of a group and must learn
to depend on resources from within
herself.”
She believes that women in pub
lic life help maintain the balance as
they share responsibilities, discard
MAYOR LEE
sex consciousness, and work togeth
er with men to solve problems
equally affecting all humanity.
Family Comes First
“Of course,” she added, “mar
riage is the natural thing for wo
men under ordinary circumstances.
I was married when 23 years old
and came as a bride to Portland,
where ‘Scottie’ had his business. I
took 4 or 5 months to find an apart
ment, make curtains, and get ad
mitted to the bar before taking up
my law practice here.”
Mr. and Mrs. W. Scott Lee have
two adopted children, David Scott,
12, and Priscilla Dorothy, 10. Mr.
Scott is special sales representative
for an oil company. “I want our
childr en to do the things that give
them the most satisfaction and hap
piness; I will never dominate their
thinking,” she stated.
Although Mrs. Lee liked her home
town, San Francisco, she feels!
Portland is more of a “home” town.
“There is more room for homes,
gardens, and raising children in the
busy day at the city hall by listen
Ftose City.” She relaxes after a
ing to music. Tschaikowsky is her
favorite composer.
Talk of “calculated risk” is be
ginning to grate on the nerves of
the gambler who knows that the
only proper bet is the sure thing.
