Women’s Page Coed Clothesline By Pat Rice and Ida Pack Looking at the shiny new clothesline which was just put up, one item was noticed which should be of particular interest to the male population . . . skirt lengths are going up. However, regardless of what Dame Fashion dictates, skirt lengths appear to be much the same as they were last term. Fall has always been the season for novel and refreshing fash ion introductions as well as a period of bringing back old favor lies, i ms year is nor an excep tion with the emphasis on fab rics. Tweeds and rough woolens are back even stronger this year, many of them are made dressier by touches of velve teen. Wool jersey, an old friend, is gaining popularity in double-duty, blouse-skirt combinations, and in casual dresses . . . stripes, polka dots, and turtle necks have found their way to use in this fabric. V^jpockets of all sizes, descriptions nd' locations are very popular this eason—on dressy dresses, campus lothes, and even formals. Perhaps the newest addition in the fashion spotlight is buttons . . . pne can see them everywhere, es pecially on skirts and campus cas ual wear. Certainly weskits should be in cluded on every co-ed’s list. Either in matching skirt plaids or in con trasting colors, they are terrific. Corduroy, velveteen, suede and woolens are top fabrics. Some of the most predominate footprints on campus seem to be made from crepe-soled suede sports shoes in a variety of colors. Neckline interest shows that scarfs, although smaller this year, are still favorites. Silver and gold •chains and bracelets and knotted earls enhance many wardrobes. Rich, smooth looking fabrics for ight wear and dressy affairs are elvets, satins, and taffetas in de icious colors. Champagne and grey atins are particularly beautiful his season; and those swish-swish affetas are wonderful in change able greens, maroons, and browns. Velvet is the newest arrival in this field and a very welcome one too. A rumor has been heard that sounds something" like this . . . strapless formals will not be seen uch next year, doubtlessly be ause of the rising hemlines. Don’t espair, fair coeds, you still have his year to live for .. . bye for now.

Foreign Student Plans to Teach Barely concealing her delight at attending an American Univer sity was Carmen Perez, a foreign exchange student from Guatamala. Carmen received this opportunity by winning a scholarship to any college in the United States. Dur ing the year that she will be at tending the University she is to be a house guest in the Alpha Xi Delta house. One of seven children, Carmen, and older brother and sister are the only English speaking members of the family. Twenty year old Carmen is interested in broadening her knowledge by studying paint ing, drawing, survey of visual arts, Shakespeare, and a class in the Seminar of Foreign Students. Before coming to the United States Carmen taught Spanish to the Americans in Guatamala and plans to return to her native land to relate her experiences while at Oregon and in the United States, and to continue her teaching. When asked her impression of the University, Carmen replied that she has had many unforget table moments and is sure she will be happy here. One of her pleasant est experiences was attending her first football g&,me, she said.

Let’* (jo Shopping Birthdays! Birthdays! They are a pleasure for those who have them, but rather a headache for those who remember them. When friend Mary says, “'Next week is my birthday!”, you shudder and begin to wonder what you will get for her. Or you might suddenly remember that Cousin George’s birthday is in the near future and just as suddenly remember that you are completely "broke.” But, really, downtown Eugene is full of original and useful gifts which can be purchased—for almost any price you want to pay. When a gift for a woman is the problem of the hour, one of the fiist things to think of is clothing. Sweaters are always received by the average college woman with great appreciation—and, sweaters come in all sizes, colors, types, and prices. They range from the plain and practical wool pull-over or cardigan, at the prices of $4 to $8, to the more extravagant and more popular cashmere, which goes in price from $9 to $25. The angora sweater, which comes in lovely pastel shades, is situated in the middle of this price range. A short-sleeved angora pull-over sweater can be purchased for $8. Since scarves are the thing this season, they would make a very appropriate birthday present for some college woman. Other necessary accessories for a college wardrobe are belts. Suede belts in tan, green, or black can be purchased for $7.95. One of the newest ideas in belts this season is leather, in black, tan, or green, with a pocket watch attached. The price of this is $5.95, and is a nice birthday gift for any gal who wants to be always on time for classes. STILL AT A LOSS ? After considering the above suggestions, if you still are at a loss as to what to give the •‘birthday girl,” why not try one of the new gold angle bracelets ? They are available in all assortments—with whistles perfume flasks, coins, hearts (gold, that is) or even miniature merry go-rounds attached. The latest fashion magazines say that they are being worn a dozen at a time—so, give her two or three. They range in price from $1.20 to $8.95. Another clever gift is a small gold pen and pencil set. These are about three inches high, and come in a leatherette c9.se—bright red or green. The price is only $1. But enough of the college woman’s birthday gift. What about Cousin George? Well, one of the best gifts to give any fella is a pair of argyles. These can be purchased from $1.50 to $6.95. Or, better yet— if you knit, buy some yarn, knitting needles, and an instruction book and get to work. It really doesn’t take too long, once you learn the trick and everybody is doing it. In conclusion, we shall bring up Aunt Minnie, who is having her seventy-fifth birthday soon. Taking it for granted that Aunt Minnie knits, give her an attractive knitting bag. She might already have a few on hand, hut don t let that worry you. She can always put it to some such as for extra potato peelings, or old love letters. y°U See’ ot^er peopIc’s birthdays don't have to be a headache. There are any number of gifts available which would be greatly annre mated by the person guestion. But, if worse comes to8™",! g!ve a card. A very clever one can be purchased for 5 cents. Summer School Enrollment Big/ Mostly Vets/ Graduate Students Approximately 1800 students were enrolled in the University’s 1949 summer session. Dean P. B. Jacobson, of the School of Educa tion, said it was one of the largest Oregon has ever had. Of this number 758 were veterans and approximately 800 were gradu ate students. There was a 30 per cent increase in education while the lower division suffered a severe decrease. Social science, physical education and library methods were the favored courses. Explaining this trend, Mr. Jacob son said, “The summer session stu dents are an entirely different ani mal. Their main objective is to complete their college work as soon as possible and they work hard at it.” Besides the eight week regular session, a two week special session was offered for those who wanted the complete 15 hours of credit. The first session offfers only 12. Educa tion, business administration, psy chology and math courses were available for the 125 students of the special session. Thirty-two visiting professors, from points as far as Florida and Connecticut, supplemented the staff of 140 Oregon professors. E, M. Baldwin and L. W. Staples con ducted an advance field study of geology and a similar course in an thropology was held by L. S. Cress man and' Theodore Stern. The students had visiting lectur ers and for recreational activities there were trips to Mt. Hood and the beach, picnics swimming, and dancing.
