Women's Page 1 Reporters Find 'Typical' Coed Very Versatile By Aileen Betschart and Joan Manning Upon discovering that we were to interview the co-ed of the week, we put our yo-yos back in their proper places in the Emerald files, and bee lined for our respective typewriters. Wp nmirirTprl nnt our slug line and then it dawned upon us. We need ed one more thing! ■—a co-ed. I A certain young lady caught our eye. Here was just what we wanted!, A typical co-ed, I typical in that her legs were crossed! and she sportedj two-heads. “Are you a co-ed?” we asked. “I’ve never served on a clean-up committee in my life, and I don’t like to wear shoes, if that’s what you mean.” “What class are you in?” we queried her. “My ultimate ambition is to be come a beachcomber—on a big beaeh. Palm trees, soft music, ro mantic moonlight—I come from Hawaii, you know.” “Are you all-out for activities?” “That’s an interesting question. I’ve been here four years, and be sides, I went to seven different high schools and the Cotton Bowl.” "Hmmm. What qo you think about moving the Rocky Mountains into the Gulf of Mexico via ants?” we ventured. “I,” she retorted indignantly, “am an associate editor of the glad rag (the Emerald), secretary-treasurer of ASUO, a member of Theta Sigma Phi and Hui-O-Kamaaina. Not only that, but last year I was a Phi The ta, and furthermore, I speak pidgin English.” “Care for a smoke ? ” “Could you tell by looking at me that I’m an ex-Amphibian? But I had to drop out. I don’t know how to swim, you know.” “Could we ask you a personal question?” “Sure, my name's Diana Dye and At this point our co-ed glanced at her watch, “Omigosh! See ya lat er. I’ll be late for my game of snook er.” I KNOW WE'RE WEARY TODAY! PERHAPS YOUR TIMEPIECE IS WEARY TOO! We'll stimulate it ^ristaw^ JEWELERS Established 1<%9 620 Willamette {Plans Are Started For Annual Hop Under the sponsorship of the jlWCA sophomore commission, the j traditional University Heart Hop J will again be included' in the Val | entine’s day celebrations. This is to | be a progressive dance, being stag j ed at four or five women’s- living or ganizations on the campus. These houses wishing to petition for the dance will have opportunity to do sc in the near future. Led by Sally Terril and Leslie Tooze as co-chairmen plans are getting under way for this thirteen year old campus tradition. Climax of the event will be the coronation of the King of Hearts who will rule over the evening. For the past two years this has been done at the Friday night's basketball game after which the hop got under way. Six finalists from representatives of all the men’s living organizations are se lected by a committee of queens composed of some of the campus beauty contest winners. Final voting will be completed by all purchasers of tickets for the dance. The official coronation names two runners-up who will act as knaves to the king and will be traditionally dunked at the termi nation of the dance. This girl-date-boy affair was originally started as an afternoon function in 1936 and being leap year, it was called the Ladies Leap. It proved to be such a successful event it was again staged the fol lowing year, however, the name no longer being appropriate, was changed to Heart Hop and has since been an annual affair. Sounds Like the Guy's (Continued from page six) gate. As the water roars into the lounge our hero mops to the tune of squeaking shoes and remarks from his buddies that they didn’t know he was majoring in marine engineering. After the water has evapor ated or is otherwise disposed of our hero learns that he should not have mixed white undershirts with colored sox. When he wears one of these altered shirts few will suspect that under his rude, conservative exterior lurks a sur realistic color pattern normal no where but in Hollywood. The no-longer laundry expert has concluded it is cheaper to buy a pair of sox. Nice perfume, too bad you had to spill it.” What's This— Men Superior? j (Editor’s note: The women’s past’ lias no idea who wrote the following story. Just pushed aside a typewrit er and there it was.) “Gimme five hundred words on why men are superior to women.” When approached by Donna Snackson, women's page editor with this assignment I was flabbergast ed. “I'm flabbergasted," I said. The very apparentness to this question seemed to make the whole thing a little ridiculous. But just to humor Donna I sat down at my 1903 Remington, whipped out a well thumbed sheet of yellowed copy pa per, adjusted it in the typewriter and went to work. Then I unreeled my tie from the roller and started over again, read ing my notes upside down and back ward off my tie. Sizing up the situation, I asked myself, what did I know about wo men ? “What do you know about wo men,” I asked myself. This was a discouraging note to start out on. Using the Emerald, an infallible source, for material, I started. “Seven out of ten women are pretty. The other three go to Oregon.” This seemed to be the extent of the Em erald’s feelings on the situation. I noticed another little filler, though, that with a little adapting, serves to sum up the situation: Ros es are Red, Violets are Blue, I’m flabbergasted. Potluck Dinner Friendly house will have a pot luck dinner Saturday at 6 p.m. Folk dancing to Danish records will fol low dinner. The records will be furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Skovvo of Junction City who will lead the dancing. Everyone is invited and married couples may bring their children. Ii"...- .^ Fashion Foibles rile kings and queens of the fashion world have emphasized detail this year in elotlies for every occasion. This detail is brought in with striking combinations of colors, rows Of buttons, double cuffs and pock ets, and unusual tricks to give eye-catching effects. Colors can give any outfit style. Designers have taken four shadow Of grey and worked these into skirt gores, used them in pockets or madr> them look as if a painter has just over or under tinted to produce an un usual effect. Buttons are beginning to take the lead in detail this season. Kowst of tiny buttons are being put on formats, dressy dresses, sport clothes and coats. They can be gold, silver, gem, plastic or covered buttons— they can he plain, fancy ^antiquated or irregular shaped—they can lie. large or small—but they must produce the result of detail. Double cuffs, pockets and collars are novel and striking to anything that can take them. These doubles usually have two colors_for ex ample, a double collar On a champagne colored satin dress uses ono coca-colored collar and the other one is the same as the dress. All of these ideas dictated by the fashion world are designed for any type of costume and they will give new ideas for the coming spring wardrobe. A. G. With the Legislators (Continued from page six) Snyder party, but—pressed for time—made a brief speech instead at McGrath’s reception. Vice President Barkley told the crowd his car got got caught in a bad traffic jam as he ap proached the hotel. “That was the only time in my life I ever felt a need for Dewey,” Barkley cracked. “Maybe he could have unsnarled, untangled, and unraveled things.” Mr. Truman joined in the laugh ter, and asked: "What chance does a president have with a vice president like that?” Porchlight Parade (Continued from page six) Xi Margaret Taylor . . . nomina tion for the day’s Hogan goes un contested to AXO Pat Finnegan.
