By ANN CONNELL i WE WEAR TOO MUCH CLOTHING '. . . we do, personally, we mean. We became convinced of this when we went for X-ray shots recently. In a tiny cubicle like a phone booth we removed gloves, coat and hat, glasses, two-piece suit and blouse, and five undergarments . . , well, no; four. We failed to obey orders, quite. (Those robes are short and too open for our elderly taste. We left on a half-skirt; got a quizzical look frflm a doclor, but the thought occurs we might have got the funny look anyway?) . We went into a room where we stood as told and in semi-darkness drank liquid which Slowed phosphorescently; then were tipped up nn a table, our head lowered; into another room for more shots, to snappy commands: "Stop breathing! Hold it . . . ho-o-o-ld it . . . Breathe!" Out to cubicle again, to dress, with request to wait outside. We waited. Soon a summons: "Sorry, must take one over." Cubicle, undress 24 hooks, 11 buttons, 2 snaps, a bow to tic, a zipper, and two small safety pins, confining straps. . , . One more quick shot, and we're back again, fastening 24 hooks, 11 buttons, etc., etc. As we're ready to leave, attendant comes and says, brusquely: "You may go now, but be back at 12:30; don't eat or drink any thing in the meantime." (Oh, my aching appetite!) So of course we're back in the two-by-twice room at 12:30, unhooking, untying, unbuttoning, unzipping . . . and back in it again at 12:45, hooking, buttoning, tying and zipping! Next time, we swear we'll wear a sarong or a winding sheet! A NEW SYSTEM of coffee-making having been put into use for employees of the R-G, a mug type cup is furnished for the use of each individual. These are given inscriptions, with a special pencil, and are "parked" on shelves (after the manner of the having mugs of eld!) Some of these inscriptions are first names, some last, many are initials; some are large, some small. One is lettered in graduated style, like the old-fashioned college pennants; another (we suspect it is Bob Frazier's) is cryptic, an R turned back ward, combined with a F. Another reads '"J" the asterisk sur rounded by the giant J. One bears the legend: "Mr. Coffee," and we have not learned his identity. Our own is the only one lettered in script; we had no thought of being individual, the signature came easiest. Wiltshire (Herb) has the most artistic job a drawing of a fish with his name he was awaiting the angling season. We hear the photographer has a kodak on his cup, but that one we've not seen, yet. APPROPRIATE to the observance of library week-end on the campus, in which houses compete for rating on best personal libraries of members, is an article by Josephine Evans (Mrs. Everett) Harpham appearing in the May issue of the Oregon Education Journal. H relates lo the Rrowsing Room of the Uni versity Library, now located in Erb Memorial Union Bldg., and tells of the work of Miss Bernice Rise and Dr. Carl Hinlz. The article also mentions the browsing area of the library of Eugene High School. ' MR. AND MRS. C. C.

Latest figures show that over the last two years the number of women foreign service officers has more than doubjed. In J'anuary of 1953 there was 23 of tBcm, today there are 59. And the Department points with pride to female careerists in high and respons'ible positions such as Francis Willis as Ambassador lo Switzerland, Constance Harvey as chief of the division of external affairs at Bonn, Germany, and Kathleen Molesworth as first sec retary and counselor at London, TAKES TOP POST As a political appointee, Mrs. Clare Boolhe Luce is American ambassador to Italy. The first woman to take on this difficult post in Rome, she was nominated by President Eisenhower early in 1953. Due to the Wriston Committee's recommendations on reorganiza tion of the State Department, a large percentage ot staff level women will have the chance to become bona fide FSOs. With President Henry M. Wris ton ot Brown University as its chairman, this committee urged, among other things, that partic ular departmental jobs be re classified as Foreign Service Offi cer positions. Gals that do become FSOs can count on salaries of between $4,393 and $5,093 at the time of Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Fri May 13, 1953 7 A ' , wsKt, ' V flu - I ' ' ' f s' . .

Despite the frightening reputa tion of this written and oral test, it is not impossible to pass. He notes that just recently Pauline C. Krcger broke all previous rec ords when she scored 99 out of 100 on the exams. Hare admits ladies can do wonddcrs in areas other than brain work. "Why with a few bits of cloth they can make the worst place in the world look wonderful," he explains. "Where as a man just throws up his hands in holy horror and groans." He bases this on his own ex perience as a career diplomat. When Hare went to Saudi Arabia as Ambassador in 1950 he found no American women there he cause it was thought to he too VFW Willamette Auxiliary Names Officers, Delegates Mrs. William E. Bnghlman son, guard: and Mrs. Howard difficult and unusual a place to, "we must not overlook the valu live. But he requested three capable gals, and as it turned out, they got along fine. "An office is much more bal anced and efficient with women," he comments. "And you know, they are not as fragile as people say. A woman is a very resource ful being." , CLERKS VALUABLE Hare thinks women do especial ly well in certain lines of work. "They quite naturally estab lish rapport with the distaff side of foreign countries. We find them especially able in fields of educa tion and sociology, and in under standing and interpreting the cultures of other peoples." Gals have it all over men in handling the mechanical end of things, according to Hare. "For some reason, they seem lo be more precise. It's almost like keeping house." File rooms, he feels, are the heart of the organization since a certain amount of material has lo go through the mill. "Although it is important lo stress the increase of women in the officer corps," says Hare, able contribution of some 2,000 women who serve abroad in cler ical capacity." ' Marriage is the biggest obstacle confronting women who waul to make a career in the Foreign Service. In most cases, Hare points out, the two just don't mix. An FSO must ho able to travel anywhere in the world, and this generally doesn't work nut with a husband "The door is always open lo women and we arc glad to have them," says Hare, "but those that come through the door some- limes ran t stay with us, REAL Foot Comfort j,'B makes work 4 t a lot easier iia; , TIIK I ' AI.DKN-l'KlllC I Sill) lis For Men nil Boys S & II Green Slumps PROUDFOOT'S FOOT COMFORT" STORE Arrnii from thf llrtllc TORREY'S PSE Rug & Furniture Cleaners (AcSstomach?)
