We wish to congratulate Queens
Mary and Phyllis. They both were
a. credit to our Junior Weekend.
Beautiful girls. For that matter all
■* five girls were natural selections.
' Naturally it’s surprising they all
- weren't crowned.
In this day of a queen at the
» slighest provocation it seems too
bad to have two many at one time.
The people who raise their voices
to protest the number of queens we
honor normally are given some ba
sis for their claims when we begin
■ offering two queens at the price of
- one.
We mock history in our campus
- celebrations. And it is wondered
how many times in history did two
_ queens reign side-by-side? Not too
often in the better courts.
Not too much gained from be
moaning spilt milk—but, let’s let
this half-Queen situation impose a
_ lesson. Why make people vote for
five girls when they might only
wish to have one queen? Why
should we be made to ballot in a
way that might select other than
the popular choice ? A court of five
could just as easily be drawn from
those girls reeciving the greatest
. number of popular votes.
Lot of rings springing into circu
lation these weeks. Ann Judson
* house reports that Mary Morgan
announced her engagement to Don
DeLisle. Also, Marilyn Wright and
Glen Oakes becoming a little more
involved.
News from the Sigma Kappa’s
tells of Shirley Clark’s leap as Pi
Kap Larry Prairie didn’t bother
with any preliminary pinning.
Gamma Phi Joyce Barker rejoic
ing over the stone received from
Eugene friend George Reece.
Two Delta Gamma’s made good
(Jim?) as Zeta Sinclair is forming
summer plans with Beta Bill Rau,
and Jan Wilson, accepts a ring
from Fiji Doug Taylor.
And then those with less success
seem to include AOPi Mana Am
burn and feeta Keith Harry. A ten
day pinning suddenly dashed on the
rocks. Or was it bashed ?
A little late with news of Gamma
Phi Jean Armstrong doing her own1
dealing as she took Theta Chi Alex
“let me swing your deal” Murphy’s
pin. Gamma Phi Harriet Howes in
favor of the school which can al
ways rely on our Rose Bowl vote,
as she accepts University of Wash
ington Chi Psi Jack Lesher’s badge.
Interesting the way people ad
minister their duties. Bob Allen in
troducing songs .at the all-campus
sing neglected to mention the com
posers of all but one of the songs.
He remembered who wrote the tune
his fraternity sang.
Alpha Phi Ann Kafoury still
trailing at the far turn as Chi Psi
Norm Tremain manages to stay
ahead. Wonder who'll be in the win
ner’s circle after the house dance
tjiis weekend ? And the Alpha Phi’s
didn’t take any chances in prepa
ration for the all-campus sing as
they enjoyed four practices a day.
This mother’s weekend Bev Pit
man had her “old man” down from
Seattle. Fiji M&rty Smith by name
tag. And check off another weekend
that Virginia Walker and Theta Chi I
Ken Seeborg were seen. Good wea- j
ther for these lower-division golf j
games, too.

Co-ed Clothesline
By Kay Kuckenberg and Mary Fran Lorraine
Junior weekend is over and the majestic splendor of a Thousand
and One Nights is dead. Floats have been scrapped; tuxes and dinner
jackets have been put back in storage; mothers have returned home;
the usual class day routine has been resumed.
The Junior Prom is forgotten, but the dresses that made their ap
pearance there are not. Smart, cool and feminine, these dresses will
probably be seen in the limelight at various house dances which are be
ing held on almost every wfeekend from now to finals.
What’s nw in formals ? Metallics in all the pastel colors and in silver
are being featured for the first time in the spring collection of formals.
Previously these formals were worn only to fall or winter dances.
The starched and the seeming-starched dress is again at the top of
the lise. This is the dress that belongs to no special season, so special
place, but to all of them. Nancy Swem Bell last year’s Junior week
end queen made her appearance this year such a dress. Nancy wore
a white organdy which had a peplum and simple, smart lines.
Marie Lombard, AWS president, was also in white—a strapless,,
with a fitted bodice and full skirt. Glenna Hurst was another who chose
a strapless—red with white trimming, which beautifully complemented
her dark hair and eyes.
Another favorite formal is the starched dotted swiss that was the
choice of the Junior Weekend court this year. The dresses of the
princesses and the queens were in soft pastel shades, had full skirts
and were of the off-the-shoulder design.
Full skirted net dresses worn with or without stoles were very
popular at the dance. Jacqueline Younger wore an aqua net dress that
was off the shoulder, and had a full skirt of layers and layers of net.
Maggie Johns, who was awarded the Gerlinger cup at the dance, had
a black net, with rhinestone studded shoulder straps and belt. Her
skirt was in two layers giving it the peplum effect. Mary Pruess,
blonde Kappa, looked very smart in a plum colored net with matching
elbow lenath aloves.
In white eyelet was Barbara Schultz. Her dress was ankle length
with cap sleeves and a stiffly starched, high Elizabethan collar. With
it, she wore a pale green satin ribbon and white linen shoes. Marilyn
Thompson wore a dress of similar material which was off the shoulder,
full skirted and tied with a light blue taffeta ribbon.
Most of the dresses worn were light and airy in appearance and
cool to wear. The choice of most girls for the Junior Prom, they will
prove wise selection to wear to the forthcoming house dances.
Aesthetics Confab Hears Stravinsky
Igor Stravinsky was especially
featured on the musical program
held yesterday afternoon, May 13,
in the music auditorium. This pro
gram, second of two, was given in
conjunction with the West Coast
division of the American Society
for Aesthetics which is holding
their annual meeting in Eugene,
this year.
First on the program was Rous
sel’s Second Sonata for Violin and
Piano played by George Boughton
and Stacey Green, respectively.
jMiss Florence Vanderwicken, lyric
soprano, next presented four num
bers, one by Igor Stravinsky, ac
companied by Stacey Green at the
piano. Last was a Concerto for
two solo pianos by Stravinsky.
This was played by George Hop
kins and Jack Witter.
All of those who participated on
the program were of the U. of O
music school faculty except for
Jack Witte who is a graduate
student.
Here’s How-According to the Experts
Brush thoroughly to loosen any
dandruff. Wet the hair, unless di
rections specify otherwise.
Apply the shampoo, and be sure
it reaches every part of the scalp.
Use a little brush to rub the suds
around hairline, behind the ears, 5r
wherever dandruff might be trou
blesome. Rinse.
Suds the hair once more, and
then rinse very thoroughly, prefer
ably under a shower or strong
spray.
Rub with towels, brush with a
clean hairbrush, and dry.

Theta Sigma Thi Prexy Grows
Nasturtiums, Likes Siamese Qats
“Trapped at last!” was the ex
clamation of Barbara Heywood
when she finally mat face to face
with this interviewer.
As associate editor of the Emer
ald, an office which she has held
since she was a third term sopho
more, any spare time is well filled
Last summer she co-edited the
"Summer Sun,” Oregon summer
edition, hence she has been writ
ing editorials for five consecutive
terms.
The newly elected president of
Theta Sigma Phi, women’s .journal
ism honorary, plans to represent
the organization at a convention
this summer at Dallas, Texas.
She is a new member of Mortar
Board as well as a Phi Theta. Other
activities include membership on
the Co-op Board and in Delta Phi
Alpha, German honorary.
Any peculiarities which she
might have now she attributes to
the violin lessons which she took
through grade and high schools. As
a result of these she played first
violin in the Portland Junior Sym
phony.
Although she likes all foods, avo
cados are her favorites.Careful ob
servation on her part has shown
that the price of these items has re
cently gone up three cents.
Her philosophy of seeing the
great out doors is best fulfilled by
picnics, at least that is Barbara’s
firm conviction.
Plans for the future have run
from wanting to run a Siamese cat
farm through a desire to be a fea
ture writer for a metropolitan da
ily. Although her interest in the
cats still is high, lack of space has
forced her to turn to nasturtiums.
But her greatest ambition is to
become scholarly after graduation
so that she can be made an honor
ary Phi Beta Kappa. After three
years she has come to the conclu
sion that it would have behooved
her to study just a little harder.
ONE OF Miss Heywood’s favorito
portraits. Her ensemble is Of the
latest spring fashions. Note care
fully the coke bottle and sun glas
ses in the left hand and the
comfortable creations upon her
feet.
