m *&Pc Daily EMERALD VOLUME LI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1950 NUMBER , Hopes, Memories Told By 'Coloner Finalists MAXINE KRISCH BONNIE BRESSLER Little Captains Bonnie Bressler and Maxine Krisch are two more finalists hoping to change their title to “Little Colonel” at the Military Ball Saturday night. Miss Bressler, who is a Chi Omega pledge, now lives at Car son Hall; Miss Krisch is a member of Alpha Phi. Four other candidates vying for rule of the Scabbard and ► Blade dance are'Margaret Nichols, Judy Baily, Betty Pollock, and Jackie Lewis. by MARJORY BUSH Still faithful to her five-year diary, which is now in its fourth year, Little Colonel aspirant, Max ine Kriscli, has a list of other ac tivities that help keep her busy. When interviewed Monday, she was still a little breathless from a “Comp Conference,” the boon of all freshmen writing that “112 term paper.” Maxine isn’t new at contests, for she was “May Fete” queen at Grant High in Portland last year, where she was also on the rally squ§.d. At Oregon she has been a member of the Emeraldettes, girls’ drill team, and worked on the busi ness side of the Emerald. Of her accomplishments the blue-eyed finalist pondered, then remembered with a grin—that she played “Home on the Range” on the ukelele after just one five-min ute lesson. Swimming, skiing, and dancing are her chief interests in sports. A native of Nebraska, Maxine called Montana and Washington home before settling, in Portland. “All I can remember about Bill ings, Mont., she said, are the horses and Indians.” Last summer Maxine worked at the Oregon Caves, doing “just about everything,” as she described it. One job she remembers was handing out boots and striped coveralls to the ladies going through the wet, drippy caves. Next summer she plans to work in the United States National Bank in Portland. The five-foot four candidate wants especially to visit Hawaii. “Someday I shall,” she promised. But now she is busy majoring in liberal arts, with the goal of being an elementary teacher or airline hostess. “The eyes have It”—That’s a sure vote when it’s Little Captain Bonnie Bressler in question. Big and brown, with sweeping lashes, her eyes are only one of the highlights of this five-foot two, 105 pound candidate. Right now Bonnie, a freshman in liberal arts, is anxiously looking forward to spring term—and the picnics and Millrace—canoeing she heard about when she was home in Berkeley, Calif. In fact spring term and winter skiing are two of the main appeals of Oregon, Bon nie believes. After four years of Spanish in Berkeley High School, Bonnie is now taking Spanish literature and composition. As for a major though, she still isn't sure. Sun-bathifig at Lake Anza or Stinson Beach near San Francisco, coupled with swimming and horse back riding are favorite recrea tions of this brown-haired finalist. r>ut the one outstanding1 episode in her life she confided, was driv ing to Pullman last October with her two roommates. There they went to the Oregon-WSC game and heard Tex Beneke in Spokane Sat urday night. Another incident she’ll never forget was the day she was show ered for getting six letters—which is considered more than enough for punishment. Instead though, the whole unit became involved, making a mad melee all over the hall. As anjmne on Carson 4 can tell you, Bonnie is full of fun, and her friendly smile has just a hint of a forthcoming joke behind it. t 14,000 GET EMERGENCE Approximately 14,000 persons were given emergency aid by the Red Cross last year. Your 1950 Red Cross contribu tion helps prevent misery and suf fering throughout the world. Eugene Council Refuses Petition Protesting Meters on llfh Street Petitions signed by 213 Univer sity students asking for a reversal of the city council’s policy concern ing parking meters on East 11th St. was denied at a council meet ing last night. The petition was accepted and filed by the council, but no action was taken. Bob Kerry, Phi Kappa Psi, who was spokesman representing mill race fraternities and sororities, summarized the petition, which critized the action of the council on these bases: 1. The district is primarily resi dential and not business. 2. It is doubtful that the cost of supervising and installing meters will justify the installation. Kerry pointed out that each fra (Plcasc turn to page seven) Junior Week Petitions Due By Saturday Juniors and other students have this week to petition for chairman ships of Junior Weekend, Oregon largest campus tradition.

I — Faculty Rating Renewal Set ' For Thursday Students will rate their instruc tors in 350 to 400 classes Thursday and Friday under the supervision of honorary members of Mortar Board and other upperclassmen volun teers, chairman Mildred Chetty said Monday. The rating, sponsored by the AS UO Executive Council, is being con ducted by Mortar Board', senior wo men's honorary. Approximately the same proced ure which was used last year will be followed in this year’s rating, Miss Chetty said. Professors will leave their classes while students are rat ing them. Rating sheets will be placed in sealed envelopes and not returned to the professor until after final grades are in the registrar’s office. “A high, percentage of the faculty members are cooperating in the rating,” the chairman stated. Par ticipation is voluntary and the re sults are used only for the individ ual professor's benefit. Letter grades or personal com ments are given the instructors on their policies of assignments, orga nization of subject material, fair ness of grading, quality and type of testing, willingness to give individ ual help, and general effectiveness. Many professors have signified a desire for more personal comments in the optional section, which calls for suggestions for improvement, criticisms of distracting manner isms and enumeration of the out standing qualities of the professor, Miss Chetty stated. The same forms are being used this term as were utilized last year Judges to Name Campus Beauty In Style Contest Judges will select Miss Vogue, campus style beauty, today.
