By Fred Young AS seems the usual lot of we who are striving to please the pub lic there are many and sundry gripes received. However, in this particular instance the complaints we hear only serve to reassure us that the column is read (or what ever color you like). After all, that’s our purpose—we’re not at tempting to ruin romances or to accelerate the morality rate. So, if someone’s getting mad don’t give us the satisfaction of knowing—instead, raise hell with your gum and cigarette wrappers. Keep tossing them at the ash can until they go in. Or, throw your books at the nearest Fiji and take the afternoon off to yell at our fine baseball team—holler at that damn Wohlers to get a hit. But, let’s not cry because the state health officer said no kittens in dormitories, or because Mrs. Turnipseed is being paid by all of us to do a job well. ❖ * Lots of swell “little” high school girls joining us around the quad for AWS weekend. Let’s hope all the men on the campus will join in to afford them a pleasant week end. Never let it be said that we aren’t keeping an eye to the fu ture. Joan Kelly from Washington high and “down the block” in Port land, and Maxine Anhoury of Lin coln school in Portland (Oceanlake in summer) are the most familiar names to us. A sister duo with us this week end are the well-traveled Barnes’— Sue and Joan from Salem. Defin itely capital guests. Also, spotted on the quad was Joan Moore, reportedly in from the Tuie country. And Newport’s Mary Gillam contending with shoes and pavement for her campus weekend. Lot of Portland lasses with us. Kay Keller seen learning the finer points of the croquet on that green growing stuff so unfamiliar to the Lincolnite Susie Sealy from Cat lin should add nickels to the Sat urday night coffers. Ruckdeschel’s friend Peggy Ny gard seen cavorting along frater nity row. Other girls from the drinking General’s school include Pat Dominey-, Mariann Weiby, Nannette Silverthome, and Gerry Pearson. And from Medford sends among many Virginia Gibbons. Upstate localities seem to be very well rep resented by The Dalles Peach Queen Donna Ingram. Nice to see Uni Hi’s Joan Hite with us on the campus instead of the usual—just passing through. Last but not least from Port land’s downtown high school ar rives Andy Friedle. The Kadaver’s sweetheart. Sorry we couldn’t mention more of the guests’ names—and more about them. Remember, chamber music and jazz concert a week from this Sun day afternoon. Women's Page— Aileen Betschart Ann Morton Diane Mecham Connie Jackson Breakfast at Plymouth A special Easter breakfast will be given by Plymouth club at 8 a.m. Sunday morning in Plymouth house next to the Congregational church.

TORCHBEARER ON CANVAS - Denise fay-' lor, 21, works in London on a painting of her fiance, John Marks, 23. medical student, torchbearer for the 1948 14th Olympiad. Stones, Sea, and Spring Featured at Recent 'Dances COTTON DRESSES were in predominance at the first group of spring house dances held last Sat urday night. Eight women’s living organizations held dances with themes that varied from the twen ties to deep sea life. Alpha Delta Pi freshmen hon ored their graduating seniors with the “Bunny Hug.” Two large bun nies greeted guests at the door way and the theme was carried out throughout the house with the den representing a briar patch, the dining room resembling a carrot patch, and the living room a flower bedecked meadow. E. Z. ZARONES’ band was viewed “Through the Looking Glass” at the Pi Beta Phi house. Guests entered through a rabbit hole and found themselves among Cheshire cats, chess sets, and ev erything else that goes with Alice in Wonderland. Featured was the den which had houses and trees, all in miniature. Even the refresh ments carried out the theme with “eat me” and “drink me” on them. Entertainment at Alpha Gam ma Delta’s “Our Hearts Are Young and Gay” featured an eight-girl chorus in old-fashioned bathing suits, a trio singing “Ja-da,” and a soloist with “Embraceable You.” Guests entered through a huge heart at the door and inside found balloons and mannequins dressed in authentic costumes of the 1925 30 period. “SUBMERGED” WERE the guests of the Delta Delta Deltas. “Drive In and Be Submerged” was the slogan on the king size life preserver at the door, and fish nets, anchors, and red shark bal loons decorated the interoir. Fea tured was an octopus in the fire place. The Tri-Delt pledge class put on the formal dance, and Herb Widmer supplied the music. Daffodils were in evidence throughout the Alpha Xi Delta house at “April in the Rain.” From the dining room a colorful rainbow led to the chapter room, which was the “Pot of Gold” room, fixed like a night club. Credit for the formal dance was given to the pledge class. Another sea theme was Univer sity house’s formal “Lubber’s De light.” The house resembled a ship deck complete with port-holes, life preservers, and a gang-plank which led to the house. One entire wall was devoted to a mural rep resenting- the view of the oGean from the deck. Cards and other games entertained guests. AQUA AND BLACK were the predominant colors at Susan Campbell hall. Dutch windmills, little Dutch figures, and tulips carried out the “Little Dutch Gar den” theme. Hal Hardin furnished the music. A clothesline with old-fashioned bathing suits spelled out “Alpha Chi Beach Party,’’ the theme of the Alpha Chi Omega house dance. A gang-plank led to the living room beach pavilion which feat ured palm trees and a fallen ceil ing made of parachuting. L&C President To Visit Sunday The Christian house on 736 E 16th will have an Easter breakfast following the Easter sunrise ser vice. Reservations can be made by phoning Mrs. Elliott at 2551.

Sunday evening the Presbyterian women will give a free dinner at Westminster at 5:45 p.m. Women’s Page Coeds Flaunt Tradition In Engagement Notices by Ann Morton OREGON CO-EDS have long heralded their engagements hy midnight tire alarms and five-pound boxes of chocolates. But there are always a few energetic ones, who, not content with tra ditional procedures, think up startling and novel ways to reveal their impending consolidations. Take Alpha (1am June Hershberger, for example. The news of her engagement to "Dutch'’ Reich was told with a Dutch It’s Different NECKTIE GOWN — Marilyn Ware models an eve ning gown with 26 men’s neck-, ties. Oak Park. 111.

DG Sally Crete slipped her name and that of her base ball playing fiance into imma ture baseball mitts, and decorat ed the tables with baseball para phenali to carry out the theme. CIUS O's FOUND wrapped pack ages stamped with question marks at their place at dinner one. night. Ins’de each was a schmoo with the names “Joy and Walt" emblazoned across his front. Joy Ham and Walt Kirseh, that is. Two Gamma Phis used Easter eggs to announce their new status. Donna Rankin stuck pennants with the two names in hers, while Joyce Barker scotched taped the names to the bottom. Martha Cleveland had the names on tags around the necks of wax candle ducks. SIGMA KAPPAS were scared senseless one night when two prow lers clattered up the fire escape on to the sleeping porch. However the intruders proved to be merely two girls, proclaiming the engagement Of Phyllis Henry . Beth Mitchell made little books entitled “Municipal Accounting” to tell the ZTA's of her engagement, to a fellow BA major. A double an nouncement struck the Theta house when Gloria Aguer and Petie Fort miller froze their two sets of names into hunks of ice. THE ADP's like to keep each other in suspense. One girl can cut up the announcement in jig saw puzzle fashion, while another dis tributed cut out letters and let ev eryone play anagrams to figure out the names. Tri-Dolts were aroused one night and herded downstairs to find all of their juniors sporting diamonds on their left hands. After much discus sion, a poem was read revealing that it was Jo Bjelland who didn’t have the phony. I KNOW WE'RE WEARY j TODAY! PERHAPS I YOUR j TIMEPIECE IS WEARY TOO!
