Active Coed
Plans Career
In Sociology
By Diane Ketteringham
“I guess I’m just an average
college girl,” declared Eve Over
back, business manager of Old
Oregon. “I’m an ardent football
fan and love doing things on cam
pus, but I’ve never had anything
really spectacular happen to me.”
Small, dark haired Miss Over
back is doing spectacular things
for Old Oregon however, and with
the first issue just out she spends
most of her time at the Old Oregon
office. Besides her fulltime post
on Old Oregon Miss Overback is
a member of Phi Theta Upsilon,
Gamma Alpha Chi, advertising
honorary, treasurer of Associated
Women Students, and vice presi
dent of Hendricks Hall.
SOCIAL INTEREST
Majoring in Sociology Miss
Overback plans someday to con
tinue her interest in the subject
by becoming a social case worker.
There was quite a conflict in
her mind as to whether an ad
vertising career might not prove
more advantageous and exciting
but at the moment she is certain
that social work will be her career.
Also in the future is a trip to
New York. “I don’t know what
I’ll do when I get there but I just
want to be able to tell people that
I have been there. I haven’t done
much traveling, in fact I’ve never
been outside Oregon boundaries ex
cept for a journey into Washing
ton. This trip will more than make
up for it.”
Miss Overback’s pet gripe is
people who complain about tests
they’re going to have. She also
added, “One thing I’d like to see
on this campus is more girls parti
cipating in activities rather than
the same few monopolizing them.
Activities are a lot of fun-and more
girls should take advantage of this
wonderful opportunity to meet
people.”
FORGETS FACES
Miss Overback admits she has a
terribly embarrassing flaw—that
of forgetting faces. When talking
with people she often finds herself
calling them some entirely wrong
name or forgetting a name com
pletely.
She loves to talk and to listen to
others but sometimes she finds
herself being carried away when
she begins talking. A native of
Portland Miss Overback has one
more year to complete at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
the championship games. They will
be rated as intramural and local
officials.
Working for the rating arc

Organ, Marie Taylor, Lois Homar,
Jessie Totten, Francis Hussey, and
Carol Lippman. The three raters

and Miss Bennett and Miss Wood
ruff, national officials.
Badminton action with Colleen

Myers, Nickie Murphy, Donna
Beckius, Joan Risley, Jane Craw
ford, Norma Smith, Belle Doris
Russell, Francis Hussey, Julie
Northrup, and Jessie Totten are
still fighting to stay in the tourna
ment.
Plans are being' made for the
forming of a Badminton club.
Meetings will be held Tuesday and
Thursday at four o’clock. Any girl
interested is urged to contact Miss
Murray.
Next on the schedule of activi
ties for the Outing club is an over
night bike trip to Walker's barn on
Dec. 3. This will be the last hike
of the term.
Orchesis, modern dance honor
ary, is .making plans for the an
nual concert to be held spring
term. Barbara Kletzing is presi
dent of the organization and Miss
Wentworth, faculty adviser.
“Western Melodies’’ was the
theme of the Amphibian water
pageant held last Wednesday and
Thursday nights. Approximately
forty .members and pledges parti
cipated in the activity. Pledges will
be initiated at the beginning of
winter term after they have been
re-checked in their strokes and
met University scholarship re
quirements.
Petitions for WAA
Carnival Due Now
Petitions for co-chairmen and
committee chairmanships of the
WAA carnival are now being ac
cepted by Bonnie Gienger, presi
dent of the Women’s Athletic As
sociation, and Miss Masilionis, fac
ulty adviser.
The carnival is an annual event
of winter term and though it is
sponsored by the WAA, booths are
operated by living organizations.
Committee heads to be selected
will include decorations, finance,
food, booths, properties, tickets,
clean-up, and promotion and pub
licity.

Vacation is Time to
Remedy Hagard Look
Maybe you don't believe it now, but when you're home next
week for I hanksgiviug there are going to be many mothers com
menting on how thin and frail their daughters look. Now this
may not as a rule apply to all Oregon co-eds, but it definitely dis
tinguishes quite a few, according to a recent article in ''Seven

Dark Colors
Best for Skiing
Thanksgiving’ vacation is almost
here—which means that there will
be a little more free time for the
campus ski fans. The first neces
sity for skiing, of course,As a"pair
of skis—that Should be understood.
But, when the skis, poles and boots
have been taken care of, the next
thought is of proper clothes for
the ski hill.
Warmth is the first considera
tion of ski attire. This means to
most skiers the traditional pair of
“longies.” Wool or cotton (the
wool being a little warmer, natur
ally) can serve the purpose nicely.
Might as well be gay and colorful
about the whole thing and get a
pair of bright red or yellow ones.
WARM SKI SOCKS
Thick ribbed ski socks are both
for warmth and looks. If the skier
is blessed with not only the talent
for skiing, but also the talent for
knitting, she can knit her own.
Another necessity’is a good pair
of mittens—in fact two for that
extra warmth. The first pair can
be plain wool, and the second pair
should be water repellent, and for
the sake of looks should match the
rest of the ski outfit.
A heavy sweater to wear under
the ski jacket can also be a hand
knit job, Cable-knit in heavy wool
yarn is about the warmest type
sweater available—also very at-,
tractive.
HOODED JACKETS
me color of the ski jacket worn
depends on the color of pants. The
jacket really makes the complete
ski outfit. Jackets with hoods are
very handy, or the separate match
ing hat and jacket look very good
on the ski hill. Heavy wool jackets
are the newest things for the ski
habit.
Conservative navy-blue ski pants
are very practical and will go with
almost any colored jacket. They,
of course, should be water repel
lent. Black is another conservative
color. Grey is versatile -it looks
nice with brigt reds, greens, blues,
or checks of any color.
i 1 hanksgiving, there is a lot of
sleep lost and the appetite is us
ually affected. The individual
doesn t realize how active col
lege life is and the tremendous
amount of energy they expend
every day. \\ alking' alone is ov
er exercise. Figures show that
some of you are undoubtedly under
weight, and should do something to
correct it. It may not appear as ser
ious as it sounds, but it can result
in a very poor health condition.
IMPROVE HABITS
Begin when you are home for the
coming four-day holiday to im
prove your dietary habits. Consult
a doctor and see what he advises
for your individual case. He will
probably work out some sort of a
diet, and supplement it with vita
min pills or a light tonic. The diet
will not be anything harsh, in fact
it may be just some of those daily
necessities that you have been con
stantly leaving on your plate.
If mother and dad are really
worried over your pale and hag
gard look, it's your duty to help
•yourself. Maybe meal times are not
the most pleasant hours of the
day, because you are not in the
right frame of mind. Take a differ
ent attitude toward the food put in
front of you. Perhaps you have
never liked to eat that item before,
but try it anyway. Tastes can
change you know. You don’t know
what you might be missing. Keep
on adding to this list, always re
membering not to subtract any es
sential.
STRENGTHEN APPETITE
Actively participate in some
sport that will strengthen your ap
petite. Christmas would be an ideal
time to spend a few days skiing or
ice skating. When spring arrives
there will be more outdoor sports.
Right now you should be able to
cultivate a rousing good appetite
by just an appearance at a football
game.
Anything takes time so don’t ex
pect results immediately. However,
if you stick to some of the afore
mentioned hints, your parents are
bound to see improvement when
you arrive home for the Christmas
holidays. In the meantime don’t
forget to make the most of that
turkey dinner.
Coed Clothesline
By
Ida Pack and Pat Rice
Chilly weather and frosty mornings are arriving which means that
the time has arrived for the wearing of mittens and gloves.
Soft, dainty angora mittens are good for keeping Jack Frost away.
Their colors . . . jade green, powder blue, canary yellow, pinks, reds
and many others, are easily matched with bandanas of the same shade
or in a plaid containing a similar hue.
Lucky are those gals who can knit, their hands will never be cold.
Knitted creations range from the very simple solid colored mitten to
those with argyle patterns. Often some inspired soul designs her own.
Not stopping with providing their own mittens, some gals also knit
stockings to match. Angora, nylon, and wool are all used for mitten
and stocking fabrics. This talent is truly a money saving project,
especially in regard to Christmas gifts and birthdays.
Fur mittens are being brought out of summer storage for a lot of
use. Although they cause a coat brush or two, they certainly serve
their purpose during this nipping weather.
For those who dislike having their noses tickled, there is a wide
vaiiety of pigskin gloves. Good for warmth, driving, and smart appear
ance, they are just as popular as ever.
