illegal practices.

Mrs. Matherly
Licensed Pilot
Another Salem woman, Elsie
Matherly (Mrs. Arthur G.),
joined the ranks of licensed air
plane pilots this week after
chalking up 39 hours and 40
minutes of flying time.
Mrs. Mathely, however, learn
ed to fly only to fly out of Sa
lem and toward Arabia to join
her husband, a specialist in dy
namite and rock work with the
Bechtel International corpora
tion in that country.
Starting her flying lessons
with the Salem Air Service
August 11 of this year, Mrs.
Matherly has squeezed in every
bit of time that the weather and
her work would permit. Only
about a week ago she began her
cross country solo flights and
last Monday passed her pilot's
test. Now the possessor of a
temporary pilot's license she
hopes to have her permanent li
cense before leaving Nw York
for Europe.
Next Thursday will find Mrs.
Matherly flying, via airliner this
time, to New York from where
October 19 she sails for France.
After a visit in France, London,
and Switzerland, she goes to Bei
rut, Lebanon, on Air France. It
is in Beirut, home of eight uni
versities and only about 200
miles from her husband's work.

establish her residence.
After her arrival in Lebanon

nite but hopes to use her flying
experience in that far-away
country. Also there is a possi
bility that she will enroll at one
of the universities to take con
tinued work in French.
Thirty seven freshmen girls of
Willamette university learned the
hard way that it was against
campus regulations for females
to be in the men's living quar
ters at 4 o'clock in the morning.
The girls, along with other
members of the first year class
had been assigned the task of
raking leaves on the campus last
Friday morning in preparation
for the annual homecoming act
ivities. Some one suggested that
the boys in the fraternities o f
Baxter hall should not be ncr-
m mitted to sleep in while they
were working. So they entered
the building and proceeded to
pound on the doors.
Although a harmless prank, it
was against university regula
tions. And so, by way of uphold
ing university policies all social
privileges were taken from the
participants for one week.
The finishing touch was placed
on the incident when the boys
serenaded the girls later by sing
ing the "Prisoner s Song.
