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

were given emergency aid by the

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

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
