BETTY POLLOCK Interviewed By Gretchen Grondalil Little Colonel finalist Betty Lou Pollock took time from her weav ing at the art school Sunday to tell a little bit about herself. ‘T’d never even seen a loom be fore I got into this weaving course,” the 20-year-old art major laughed as she wove another thread into a professional-looking piece of red-white-and-green woolen plaid. Betty Lou, who also sews most of her own clothes, plans to make a box jacket and skirt from the material when it is completed. Contests Not New Beauty contests are nothing new for the brown-haired, hazel-eyed sophomore. In 1947 she was a fin alist for “Miss Oregon,” entering as “Miss The Dalles.” She was chosen football queen of two high schools—Pendlton and Hood River; she was also yell leader at both schools. Last year she was a semi-finalist for Sweet heart of Sigma Chi. Hood River Graduate Born in Pilot Rock, near Pendle ton, Betty Lou attended grammar, junior, and one year of senior high school in the Round-Up City. Leav ing Pendlton, she was graduated from Hood River High School in 1948. She now claims Pendlton as her home once more. “My biggest ambition is to travel,” the five-foot three finalist (Please turn to page eight) JAtniK LEWIS Interviewed By Coralie Nelson Fife-feet two (just about), eyes of blue, light brown hair, 117 pounds, and a merry laugh make Jackie Lewis, freshman, just right to be a candidate for Little Colonel of the Military Ball. Jackie lived in Eugene, attend ing Eugene High School, until last summer when her family moved to Saratoga, Calif. Saratoga is very near San Jose, and Jackie enjoys living within driving distance of San Francisco, but claims she wouldn’t want to live in the metro polis. “Large towns don’t go very far with me,” she laughed. Loves California But California does. Her exclam ation was, “Oh, I love it! I think there’s just nothing like the sun shine. There were only one and one-half days all the time I was there when the sun didn’t shine.” Jackie’s favorite activities are skiing, swimming, and dancing. She is a member of Amphibians, and took part in this year’s pag eant. Her chief ambition at the mement is to quit school for next winter term and spend the time working and skiing at some winter resort, preferably one which she has not yet visited. “It sounds too wonderful to do almost,” she sighed.

Recovery Program Called Successful By IRC Speaker The European Recovery Program so far has actually suc ceeded, John F. Gauge, director of the Woodrow Wilson School oi Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia, said Friday. Gauge spoke at a general meeting of the International Rela tions League conference held on the campus last week. I reduction has been brought back very uuicklv to ore-war levels, and in a number of coun tries above,” Gauge continued. However, he said, this improve ment is not enough. There is still a need for rebuilding of devastat ed areas, replacement of tools, and better equipment. Agricultural production is also inadequate, since population has increased faster than production. Budgets Balanced “A number of countries have been able to balance their budgets, which is more than the United States has been able to do,” Gange commented. He added that there has also been improvement in trade and general exchange. “The most important accomplish ment brought about in the last two years is the habit of working to gether in a way Western Europe has never before worked in peace time,” he emphasizd. “If this process can be kept up for a few years, Europe integration will come about through day-to-day. dealing with small practical prob lems.” Although people are still short of many things, some of which are critical, there has been a feeling that recovery is possible. There has also been a removal of the tendency to turn to communism or distatorship, the speaker said. Co-operation Important “Working together on manage able, practical, and immediate prob lems, and extending the habit to larger things, through the meeting of minds and unanimity of action, rather than command authority, will bring about an understanding which will never come by wide spread and sweeping economic or political organization,” Gange de clared. “If the American people will be patient, calm, keep their sense of historical proportion, and realize that a program of this scope will take not years, but decades, the The IRL conference ended Sat urday morning with the 325 high school delegates electing afficers, and discussing and voting on resolutions.

Functions Explained In explaining the functions of the ERP Gange said the first step was a maximum of self help by the nations of Western Europe. Secondly came mutual aid—the nations taking stock of what they had, what they needed, and what they could produce, and sharing as much as they could with other nations. Only then would the United States consider stepping in to make up the deficit between what the countries could do for themselves and what had to be done to restore conditions to normalcy. Conflict Main Problem He described the chief problem in getting ERP started as the con flict in bringing about increased production, economic stability, and improvement of inter and intra (Please turn to page eight) Council to Hear Student Petition On Zoning Rule Student-signed petitions asking that fraternities, sororities, and co operatives be allowed to locate in single-family residence zones; and protesting East 11th St. parking meters will be heard tonight by the Eugene City Council. The parking meter protest, signed by fraternities along East 11th St. and some residents in that area, springs from a recent city decision to prohibit parking on the north side of 11th and install park ing meters in the Mayflower block on the south side. The meters are also to be installed on some East 13th blocks. The zoning request is signed by “most campus organizations,” ac cording to Bill Davis, head of an Interfraternity Council committee to consider the problem. If ac cepted, it would permit student or ganizations not directly run by the University to locate in any of the city's single-family residence zones. Davis indicated that no immedi ate decision on the zoning question is expected, as it will probably be referred to a committee for con sideration. Juniors to Form Weekend Plans Junior class representatives from each living organization will meet to discuss petition procedure for this year’s Junior Weekend this afternoon at 4 in room 3 Fenton. House presidents have been noti fied to appoint a junior r epresenta tive, according to Barry Mountain, class president, and the representa tive will be expected to attend this afternoon’s meeting. The representative will be re sponsible for carrying back the in formation secured at the 'meeting to his house. Mountain hopes that through this individual contact every junior class member will feel free to petition for any chairman ship, sub-chairmanship, or commit tee he may desire. This afternoon’s meeting will be brief, Mountain said, but import ant. He will announce at that time the deadline for turning in petitions, the jobs open, and the where petitions may be submitted. No petitions will be accepted this afternoon. 'Warrior's Husband' Ticket Sale Today Tickets for “The Warrior’s Husband” go on sale in the Uni vevrsity Theater box office.
