The sport accent is definitely on skiing this year, with thousands thronging to the slopes every weekend. Yet still the quesion is con tinually arising on what can be done to make ski clothes distinctive and different. Basically, ski togs follow a definite pattern, and you will find the same outfits worn from the Rockies to the Appalachians. However, those variations of the regular fashion schemes that have long dis tinguished well dressed women, should be sought in ski clothes also. The color scheme is one of the most important factors in choosing an outfit for it can, and very often does mean the difference between mediocrity and smartness. Dark colors are good because they don’t show the marks of the tow ropes. Another important factor in the choice of clothes is of course, the place where you intend to ski. At Mount Hood, Oregon, which is some 60 miles from Portland, the stress is on simplicity and casualness. Even at Timberline Lodge, which is undoubtedly the most beautiful and the dressiest resort at Mount Hood, the guests do not dress for dinner. Usually a warm wool dress or a brigh plaid skirt and sweater are worn and provide a pleas ant change from the dark colors of the ski outfit. In the daytime almost anything from jeans and army parkas to custom-made ski suits can oe seen, mere is a long range ot color com binations worn, some very smart looking—the all black ski suit, which accents and compliments the body lines; the perennial navy blue pants and light blue parkas, accented usually with bright sweaters. At Hoodoo, the atmosphere is even more casual ai?d friendly than at Mount Hood, and bright colors seem to predominate. After skiiing, most of the enthusiastic crew can be seen sitting about a roaring fire, drying their somewhat wet togs, telling jokes, discussing turns, and runs on the slopes. Very few change from their ski clothes and seem content to lounge around in them for the evening. At Sun Vally, Idaho, the well-known haven of well-known skiers, not only are smarter ski clothes in evidence, but more dressy after skiing clothes are worn also. Here as at the other ski resorts, com fortableness and simplicity are prime requisites; however, it must be noted that the smartness or the newness of ski outfits here does not point out the novice skier, but shows instead that the goodskier has good taste in clothes. Many girls dress up their clothes in place of dressing them down as the fad has often been. A bright patterned ski sweater and a fleece-lined after-ski warm-up coat are to be desired here. Most people dress for dinner at Sun Valley, usually in warm pretty outfits with more than a trace of soft feminity and fresh fashion. Velveteen slacks and a pretty sweater, or a bright, quilted, floor-length skirt and blouse, or an un-tweedy skirt with jewelry and a red-lined wool jersey jacket and a cotton shirt with ruffled collar can be worn with the perfect assurance that they are right. One hing that has not been mentioned before but which is very es sential to complete the ski ensemble is a good pair of boots. In many ways boots are the most important things in skiing for they may make the difference between comfort and bruised feet and ankles, between months of plasant skiing and a brokn leg or ankle. So choose wisely when buying ski boots, and you will have many months of fun and excitement lying before you. Requirements Stiffer for English University Entrance JBy jo Anno Hewitt English universities arc much stricter in entrance requirements than American universities. This is the major difference between the institutions of higher learning in the two countries, said Miss Mar garet Digglc, instructor in Eng lish. Requirements were made strict so as to allow only those especial ly apt for studies to begin. This enables students to specialize in their respective fields from the be ginning. Recently the policy has been to increase the number of en trants. Grades are not stressed, but are merely indieations of progress. Ed ucation is based on the tutorial system where the students attend lectures from professors in all col leges, but receive their grades and assignments from an assigned tu tor. Both the students and tutors live in their colleges, which are a part of the central university and little more than dormitories, al though they employ professors and tutors on their staffs. Women now have complete equality with men, although this has only been attained since 1920. Most schools have allowed women students under certain restrictions since 1868. Oxford university was the first to grant equal rights, but antagonism towards women’s edu cation caused some of the earlier colleges to be erected six or eight miles from the university. Harvard and Radcliffe are the closest American counterparts to the English system where students have separate colleges, but share the same campus and lecturers. Professional schools are admit ting an increasing number of wom en, and many graduates are prac ticing, especially in the public health offices. Social life centers around the various drama, dance, and speech Miller Named (Continued from page one) tion. Aiken indicated yesterday, in a long distance phone call, that he had several very excellent pros pects in mind, but that he intended to “take his time.” Replacements are expected in ample time for spring practice. Both Miller and Zazula came to Oregon with head coach Jim Aiken in 1946. Miller did most of his work with the linemen, while Zazula act ed as Oregon's chief scout. North Dakota University is lo cated at Grand Forks, North Da kota, and has a student enrollment of 2700, with a football stadium seating 10,000.

Miss Diggle is a graduate of Girton college, Cambridge, and has been in the United States since I 1946. She previously taught in a women's teachers college in Eng land. Upon coming to America she taught her first year at Wellesley university. During 1947-48 she taught at Ohio State university. Although she likes the U. S. very much, she is returning home to stay when this year of teaching at Oregon is completed. Scholarship Given In Memory of Jean Merrifield A scholarship with a unique background offered on the campus is the Jean Merrifield Memorial fund, presented by Kwama, sopho more women's honorary. Given to worthy, outstanding girls, the fund is supported jointly by J. C. F. Merrifield and Kwama, starting this year. The scholarship was established three years ago when Jean Merri field, a. Kwama active in campus affairs, died in an automobile ac cident on Christmas vacation, 1946. To honor her and perpetuate her memory Kwama voted to begin tbe fund. The organization has put aside money for this purpose since then. This year, however, additional help will be added by the girl’s father, Mr. Merrifield. This infor mation was revealed soon after Dads’ day, by Golda P. Wickham, director of women’s affairs, who Mr. Merrifield had corresponded with and talked to. Girls deserving of aid arc decid ed upon by a council consisting' this year of Mrs. Wickham, Dick Williams, educational activities manager, and Anne Case, Kwama. president. The money is given in undefined quantities according to the receiv er’s need.
