Hazel Schwering Dinners Held
In Memory of Former Dean
An article that appeared in last
week’s Emerald concerning wom
en’s exchange dinners raised stu
dent queries as to the meaning of
“Hazel Schwering” dinners. Who
was or is Hazel Schwering, some
students asked? Others wondered
why the dinners were named in
her honor.
Investigation has disclosed that
Mrs. Hazel Prutsman Schwering
devoted a large part of her active
life in service to the University.
She held the post of Assistant
Dean of Women two terms in 1927
28. The next school year saw her
acting Dean while during 1929-30
she was Freshman Dean.
In 1930, Mrs. Schwering again
became Acting Dean, retaining this
post until 1934 when the “Acting”
was dropped from her title, and
she became the regular Dean of
Women on the campus. Mrs. Sch
wering served in this capacity un
til her death in 1944. She was
succeeded by the present Director
of Women’s Affairs, Mrs. Golda
Wickham.
In order to perpetuate Mrs.
Schwering’s memory, the Hazel
Schwering dinners are held each
term by all University women’s
living organizations. Each living
group is paired with another, half
of one house going to the other
and vice-Versa. Every girl attend
ing contributes a dime for the
meal. The money collected at the
dinners is used to provide a schol
arship for some worthy junior
woman. Last year enough money
was collected to give two scholar
ships, one $300 and one $100.
Scholarship winners are decided
during spring term by a committee
composed of Mrs. Golda Wickham,
Mrs. Perrie Dolph, who is a form
er friend of Mrs. Schwering’s from
Portland, and the presidents of the
YWCA, AWS, Panhellenic, and
WAA. Candidates for the scholar
ship are required to write a let
ter of application. They are then
individually interviewed by the
scholarship board. The award is
given on the basis of scholarship,
general need, and good citizenship.
Unusual Movies Shown Here
“The weekly films shown at
Chapman Hall are often as much
a surprise to the technicians as
to the audience,’’ commented
Wayne Lill, audiovisual operator
at Wednesday night's performance
of several unusual movies which
included “Fiddle-Dee-Dee,” “Hop
pity-Pop" and “Dots,” three ex
perimental films in sound, motion,
and color.
"Instruments of India,” “Dances
of India,” and “A Time for Bach”
were also included in the program.
"Instruments of India,” and
“Dances of India” were concerned
with the musical skills and customs
of the ancient country. The latter
picture features native dancers who
did the “Kathak,” a classical
dance which embodies hand and
facial movement as well as leg
positions.
New photography and art tech
nique were combined in "A Time
for Bach” which depicts the at
tempts of Bach enthusiasts to
bring the Seventeenth Century
composer into modern popularity.
Pictures of New York's tall build
ings and fast tempo of life were
sharply contrasted with B&ch’jjs
quiet and refined music.
"The University endeavors to
bring educational and experiment
al pictures to the student’s atten
tion that cannot easily be seen
elsewhere,” Lill explained.
Culture Committee
Adds 5 Members
Five students were selected
Tuesday for membership on the
Student Union cultural committee,
according to Bill Carey, chairman
of the interview and referral com
mittee.
Joan Manning was chosen to
head the group of five, which has
been set up as a sub-committee in
charge of the art gallery. The
other four members are Nancy
Pollard, Betty Moshofsky, Shirley
Wentworth, and Pat Smith.
Sixteen students petitioned for
the five positions.

The first of two rallies held in
preparation for the 1950 Homecom
ing game between Oregon-WSC,
overflowed seating yesterday morn
ing in the Student Union ballroom.
ASUO President Barry Moun
tain introduced coach Jim Aiken
to the students. Aiken said, com
menting on the team this year,
“The boys will keep fighting even
though they may lose the game.
That’s why we have such a good
team.”
In reference to the spirit of the
audience at the St. Mary’s-Oregon
game, Aiken stated, "I’ve never
seen Oregon display such spirit.
It was wonderful.’
Aiken then introduced Bob “Bus
ter” McClure, line coach; Johnny
McKay, back field coach; and Jerry
Lillie, end coach. Bill Bowerman,
freshman coach, spoke on frosh
stars and prospects.
. Entertainment fop tlte rally was

land accompanying Wheeless at
the piano. Durland played one of
his own original compositions.
The rally squad, led by Yell
King Ron Symons, gave several
yells and the assembly concluded
with the singing of “Mighty Ore
gon.”
The modern city consists of a

What we can do for them is far

The least we can do is give them
someplace decent to spend their
precious leisure hours . . a chance
to keep in touch with what they
are fighting to preserve.
