UO NOTES
Washington, D. C, Jan. 18.
Dear Marian:
Several Oregonians enjoyed
their first White House eve.
' ning reception when the Prtsl.
dent and Mri. Elsenhowr enter.
taincd for half a dozen of the
major departments of govern,
ment. headed by cabinet offi
cials. The cabinet members
with their wives and principal
assistants from each of the de
partments with their wives
were guests at the colorful par
ty. Since all evening functions
at the White House are "white
tie," there is a gala atmosphere
to such affairs. Among me
thousand euests many of the
men perforce rent their "tie
and tails." but almost without
exception they wear them with
a flair that would maKe it an-
ficult to guess which were the
rentals and which the person
ally owned suits. And, of
course, the women try to meet
the demands of the great occa
sion with their finest evening
gowns. It is an impressive
scene with the beautiful rooms
decked with flowers, the red
coated Marine band and later
for dancing the Marine orches
tra, and the beaming guests
who strive how they m'ght
. could not match the warmth
of the smile of welcome from
each of the Eisenhowers. The
sracious greeting of the host
and hostess will long be
memory of anyone who attends
one of these receptions.
Traditionally the guests re
main until the President and
his wife have retired from the
lower floor to their living quar
ters on the second floor. A
rumor that they would go up
the staircase in the entrance
hall by which they and the cab
inet couples' descended to start
the party caused an aisle to
form In the hall. Soon out
marched the color guard and
up the stairs went the military
men. Expectantly the aisle
formers waited. Then came the
word that the hosts had taken
the elevator, which is the cus
tomary routine, and the crowd
quickly moved into the East
Room, where it was a bit of a
thrill to dance under the spark
ling chandeliers. For a abort
time It was as crowded ai the
busiest dance floor, but with
snow on the ground outside and
declining temperatures, many
slipped away early, which, of
course, eased the situation for
those of us who remained for
another round or two.
In the dining room where
nonalcoholic punch and tiny
cakes and cookies were served,
the table was centered with
bouquets of yellow chrysanthe
mums and acacias. With the
muted green walls of the room
and gold decor, the yellow
flowers were effective. At one
end of the room, punch was
served from a bubbling gold
fountain.
Mrs. Eisenhower's gown was
of deep coral with black lace
overdress, and she wore long
black lace mitts, solving the
problem of an evening's hand
shaking which is much more
Urine with kid or suede gloves,
Mrs. Douglas McKay was gowned
in bright green satin witn maicn
ine slippers. Mrs. Arnie J,
Suomela. who had arrived from
Portland with her husband just
In time to attend the party,
wore a greigc sutin. A stun
ning white dress with light blue
cummerbund was chosen by
Mrs. George Scott who could
have been mistaken for a de-
butante. Mrs. Larry Smyth in
a dusty rose nylon net had a
lovely foil for her brunett col
oring, and petite blonds, Mrs,
Kalph A. Tudor wore a satin
formal of violet and orchid
tones. The truly starry-eyed
guests were the young daugh
ters of some of the department
a) couples. Included in the in.
vitation list are any adult chil.
dren residing witn their par
ents and it is a thrill to the
young people to join in the long
procession of guests as they file
by the host arid hostess. And
I'm not beyond confessing that
it is a thrill to the adults, too.
As we left the White House,
the cold wind did not deter the
Smyths, Scotts, my escort and
me from a quick trip to the May
flower where we spent on hour
with the Harold Turners from
Portland, who have arrived for
a month s stay in Washington.

The campus was in an uproar
early this week with the an
nouncement by the Theta Chi's
that they would have to get rid
of heir huge dog, Waldo. He had
been attacking dogs in and
around the campus, and they
had received many complaints.
A dog who is very friendly to
people, he has made many
friends, and according to several
students, he is known even in
other towns as a semi-tradition
here at Oregon!
Candidates for the title of hos
tess for the Dad's Day week
end were selected last week, and
