ANNotations ....
Mostly Nonsense
. 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.

Evidence otthis lies iif the fa jt

The men admit there's nothing

.Most significant of all women
increasingly are moving into the

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

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

PASSES' TEST
More women are entering of
ficer ranks through regular ex
amination channels, according to
Raymond Hare, director general
of the foreign service.
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

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
