Place of YW
Subject matter to be studied at
the meeting will concern the pres

the YWCA in it. Delegates hope to
formulate policies adapting the
YWCA, now 100 years old, to the

bring certain kinds of information
concerning our local and national
Ys in our respective countries,” said
Miss Greenwood.
Principal speaker for the insti

Hooft, executive of the World
Council of Churches. He has also

the delegates.

two-weeks tour of England before
going to the continent. She will
leave here Sunday for New York
by airplane.
From New York she plans to sail
on June 8 aboard the S. S. Marine
Tiger, one of several student ships
operated by United States lines, for
England. The Marine Tiger is a re
converted troop transport and one
must be able to prove they are go
ing to Europe for educational pur
poses in order to obtain passage.
Three Free Weeks
As to the three weeks of free time
she will have before the conference
begins, Miss Greenwood said, “I
haven't really made definite plans
yet.” After traveling for two weeks

get along on English since she said
“I know enough French to say I
don’t speak French, but that’s about
all.”
Miss Greenwood graduated

business administration in 1934.
She also took graduate work in eco
nomics at the University.
While attending the University
she served as president of Mortar
Board, senior women's honorary,

CA.
Degree from Columbia
She took a master's degree in re
ligious education from Columbia
University in 1939, and traveled for
the National Episcopal Church for
one and one-half years after receiv
ing her degree. Immediately after
graduation she worked in the field
of business.
“I entered YWCA work by the I
back door,” said Miss Greenwood.
The YWCA asked her is she would
be interested in work with the Chi
cago organization, and she accepted
the position. This is the end of her
fifth year with the campus YWCA.
Not First Trip
This is not the first trip to Europe
for the Y worker. She and a friend
traveled around the world in 1937.
They sailed west from San Francis

pines, Malaya, Arabia, Egypt, and

The campus Y executive said she
will be back here next year, but has

Sports Sketch
(Continued from f age four)
Hutchins, who served one year
with the Canadian navy, won the
Canadian national half mile crown
in 1946, and repeated in 1948. Dur
ing last summer's Olympic games
in London, he placed fourth in
both the 800 and 1500. His fastest >
half mile was turned in that day,
by the speedy Canadian was
clocked at 1:52.6.
Hutch’s only comment on the
Olympics was that it was “slightly
less than terrific,” and that they
went over much better than the
English had hoped for in the face
of rationing and other post war
difficulties.
The Canadian champion, com
mo worries!

peting against OSC in his only
appearance with the frosh this sea
son, clicked off a 4:21.3 mile to
take first. He failed to run for tbo
remainder of the season due to a
pulled leg muscle received in an
early practice session.
The 145-pounder chose Oregon
over Washington because he pre
ferred Oregon's smaller size, and
also because of the reputation of
Coach Bill Bowerlnan.
In an unofficial back-scratching
ceremony, Hutchins said that Bow
erman has far surpassed the
bounds of his reputation by being
both "a good coach and a good
guy.”
Early this spring Coach Bower
man commented that Hutchins,
who already holds the school rec
ord for the practice 660, was ca
pable of shattering every existing
Oregon mark in his special events.
