f T N1VERS1TY OF OREGON, Eugene,
UL May- 14. (Special.) The people
of Oregon expect a thorough woman,
not the mannish type, but first of all
a woman, said Moielle Hair of the
extension division, speaking- t thd
university women who are planning
summer social service. . '
"Then they want ladies, not in the
cheap sense,' but because they have
had the opportunity and should know
the little niceties of society. Col
lege women can have . a stronger,
richer and finer character than other
girls because they have had these big
opportunities," said Miss Half in tell
ing of what the average Oregon
community expected of the college
woman. A free, atnietio type oi biti
is the type of woman in the univer
sity of Oregon," said Miss Hair, ana
"because of their freedom and their
lack of attention to the trivial con
ventions that hind so any women,
they represent the highest type of
womanhood. Therefore, these girls
must accept their responsibility and
live up to the things expected of
them."
Broad-mindedness is needed, em
phasized Miss Hair. "Large-hearted-
ness and open-mlndedness are require
ments." she explained,- as we live in
a rather ideal World here, but we
have an opportunity to become broad
minded and learn to overlook the
small' faults and unpleasant things
Leadership probably has the biggest
place in the small town."
In the small town people usually
are willing to work, but they have no
idea how to go ahead, she pointed out.
"They lack a leader, and this is the
college girl's chance to do her part.
The people in these small towns have
two attitudes toward the college girl;
one of tolerance, the other of ad
A considerable number of univer
sity girls probably will take up com
munity work during the summer, and
Miss Hair pointed out the attitudes of
the college girls toward the small
town. "She either takes no Interest
at all or gets in and helps make the
town a better place to live in. Solv
ing' the girl and boy problem, plan
ning home decorations, organizing
day nurseries, music and civic clubs,
helping the, town get a library re
some of the means the college girls
may utilize to make the town better."
College women are resourceful, she
asserted and the extension can assist
them in making the state a better
place to live in.
