2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedfortJ, Ore, Monday, September i2. 1958 Service League, Store Present Loper Style Show Rogue Valley Country club's main dining room was crowded Friday night for a "first night"-the first time a collection, of Don Loper ori ginals were ever shown in Oregon.- The show was brought from Loper's Bever ly Hills headquarters by air by Burelson's store, in coop eration with the Medford Junior Service league, and proceeds went to the league's kindergarten for deaf chil dren. League members modeled. The show, which followed a dinner attended by both men and women, brought so much comment and applause from the audience that often the voice of Mrs. Margery Green, commentator, could not be heard even though she was using a microphone in good working order. As shown Friday night, Lo per's fall coats, suits and dresses are exciting, but wearable. Not as extreme as the clothing which comes from the couture houses of Paris, the Loper designs are still "high style" and after watching the show Friday, it was easy to understand why his designs are becoming so well known on the west coast. Loper's clothes are opulent or practical, gracious or dar ing, quite simple or elabor ate, depending upon what the designer intended for that particular garment. Mrs. Frank Hopewell modeled an extravagant black broadcloth coat with a sweep of black fox at the hem, and Mrs. David Holmes wore a coat of black and white diamond weave tweed which empha sized the versatility of the collection. Both suits and dresses for day wear featured the "Lo perease" look. Some suits have short jackets with a bloused look, others have belts which are mere decor ation for the back of the jacket. Mr. Loper claims that his main aim in designing cloth ing is to make women look prettier, and his afternoon dresses seem to be particu larly flattering. His "little black dresses" which are so important to many American women are cleverly cut to make the best of the figure, and this fall feature cunning draperies. For those women who do not care for black, Loper has such frocks as the cornflower, blue modeled by Mrs. C.'H. Buffington with a square neckline and artful tucking. The Norwegian blue fox stole completed an opu lent ensemble. Mrs. Buffing ton also modeled a blue lace after five frock of such inter esting design that one woman in the audience was heard to remark "it takes courage to model a gown like that." The after five and evening gowns brought wave after wave of applause, particular ly from men in the audience. Mrs. Robert Taylor modeled a black gown with draperies falling from the shoulders which earned the adjective "provocative" and Miss Pat ricia Rush ton, voted Miss Jackson county not long ago, was warmly applauded when she appeared in a blue satin gown with yards of tucking which accented the hipline. When Mrs. Billy Blackstone modeled a grey chiffon shift, a man in the audience from Klamath Falls remarked "she must have drawn the short straw." When she appeared later in a watermelon pink gown with a full bell skirt the man applauded with ap proval. Some of the gowns were Calendar Calendar notices and news for the society section of The MaU Tribune must be submitted in writing and deadline for the Sun dav edition is 1 p.m. Friday.

Equally, interesting was a white formal grown worn by Mrs. Hopewell, a former New York professional model. The gown has a petal bust line and long, close fitting torso and back bustle drapery which extends to the floor in a short train. The show had been com pletely accessorized in the Loper salon, and some of the interesting shoes were Loper designed. Some matched the gowns in color and texture. Hats were either the new cloches, small turbans or whimsies of feathers, pom poms and velvet flowers. One worn by Mrs. Edward Collins was of forest glow beaver felt, an intriguing fall color. Models for the show were Mrs. Donald Herried, Mrs. Robert M. Turner, Mrs. Houston Pitts, Mrs. Jack A. Edson, Mrs. Hopewell, Mrs. Graff, Mrs. Herried, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Buffington, Mrs. Blackstone, and Miss Rushton, To stage such a fashion show takes an enormous amount of time and work, but the owners and personnel of Burelson's store and League members must have been rewarded by the ap plause and extravagant com ments which followed the event.. O.S University Rushing To Begin Eugene-Fraternities and so rorities at the University of Oregon are in the midst of preparations for rush activi ties which will open on the campus Wednesday, Septem ber 24. Rush period is the time in which freshmen and those stu dents who have not yet joined a fraternity or sorority have an opportunity to visit the va rious houses preliminary to deciding on one of their choice. For the fraternities, the rush period will be from ,7 p.m. Wednesday evening un til Sunday night. For the so rorities the period will extend from 7 p.m. Wednesday through Tuesday of the follow ing week. In each instance the rush period follows the regular reg istration period to insure that the important business of ar ranging classes and meeting with advisers will have pref erence. This is contrary to the practice last year when rush activities preceded the regis tration period. Policy Explained D. W. DuSharie, dean of stu dents, in explaining the change in policy, pointed out that pre-school rushing tended to give the student a distorted conception of what a univer sity education involves, over emphasizing as it does the so cial side of student life at the expense of academic and edu cational values. He also spoke of the financial burden the pre-school rushing places on students who must return to campus as much as three weeks before classes begin to prepare for rush sessions. "In pre-school rushing," the dean pointed out, "students are forced to make decisions without adequate knowledge. Students are called on to make decisions before they have had a chance to gain an over-all perspective of their education al careers." "Such a program," he con tinued, "separates rushees from non-rushees at the be ginning, before they have had a chance to meet as Univer sity freshmen with common problems and objectives. It tends to eliminate the possi bilities of their forming new friendships in pairs or groups, according to personality and interests, rather than accord ing to houses they pledge. "A rush program that takes place following registration makes it possible to organize other activities for rushees who become discouraged or who .drop out of rushing and permits them to find a place among those who are not rush ing or who have decided to postpone decisions as to selec tion of an organization." Measures Explained For BPWC Members of the Business and Professional Women's club heard Mrs. Ben Day and ; Mrs. Thomas Rutter of the Medford League of Women Voters, speak Thursday night on measures that will appear on the ballot at the Novem ber 4th general election. The meeting was the first of the club's 1958-59 year, and was attended by a group from the Ashland BPWC. Mrs. Day outlined the his tory of the present county home rule government which operates in Oregon, and pre sented a skit, written by her, stressing the "antiquity" of the present system of county government. Those taking pari in the skit were Mrs. Fred Danielson, Mrs. H. R. Porto and Mrs. Thomas Goss. Mrs. Day stated that "100 years ago the State of Oregon was so sparsely settled the people gave the legislative assembly full powers for local as well as state govern ment. As the population cen ters developed, the cities, al ways common law entities, won the right to govern them selves. But the county was the creature of the legislature -created by it , with no histori cal background of common law sovereignty, and the county powers are only those permitted or delegated by the legislature." Mrs. Day was assited in her presentation by Mrs. John Williams. . The Medford League of Women Voters has collected, analyzed, verified, and now published in leafet( form, facts and figures to show why it is endorsing the County Home Rule Govern ment amendment. Mrs. Rutter explained the background reasons for the other 12 measures to appear on the November ballot, and gave arguments both for and against these measures as have been stated by both the proponents and opponents. The Oregon League of Women Voters has collected detailed pro and con data relative to all 13 measures to appear on the ballot; and this information has been check ed for fairness by members of the staff of the Reed Col lege division of history and social science, and is now available to all interested persons. It is 10 cents a copy. . Mrs. C. A. Thatcher report ed on- the progress being made by the local committee for the aging. The BPWC is represented on that commit tee by Mrs. Elsa Walker. Mrs. Jean Mast, BPWC president, discussed the club's plans for national Business Women's week October 5 to 11, and appointed Mrs. Inez Friel as general chairman for that week's activities.

Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- ACHIC AMERICAN GIRL in a shining red sports convertible got caught in the whirling jam of traffic round the Arc de Triomphe in Paris one afternoon. Around and around she went, unable to extricate herself and proceed on her journey down the Champs Elysees. Furthermore, a smiling gen darmes, who saluted her each time she circled past him, added to her - - na tion. Finally she risked life and limb by hraking to a halt and tearfully demanding of the gendarme, "You see what's happened to me. Why don't you help me get out of this mess?" ."Ah, Made moiselle," beamed the gen- x darme. "You are so very beautiful I can hardly wait to see you come around again!" .. , ." A progressive parson in Phoenix, Ariz, (where the temperature hovers around the hundred-mark in summer) has a reminder for his congregation that has upped the attendance record week after week. "Ho, ho, my friends," he nods cheerfully, "so you think it's hot HERE?" . .. C 1358. by Bennett Cerf.

The council meets monthly during the fall,. win ter and spring. Harold Cook, United Med ford Crusade executive, is the new program chairman and will provide the program for Tuesdays meeting. Methods for developing 1 Christian personality and a more Christian society . were 1 discussed Saturday by mem- bers of the Fall planning con ference at the Medford YMCA, according to R. L. Jones, gen eral secretary of the YMCA. Charles KuJawa of the Pa cific Northwest area YMCA staff pointed to the dangers of the YMCA becoming insti tutionalized with programs run by too few leaders rather than the total membership taking some responsibility. KuJawa, who is of Polish origin, told of his recent ex periences while spending a week at Silver Creek camp with 260 youth leaders of Hi Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs in Wash ington and Oregon. He said he was" impressed with their sincerity and "hunger for spir itual truths." They impressed him also with their need for adults who really like and un derstand rather than judge them-their fears of group ridi cule and hesitancy to be dif ferent and their growing awareness that today it is not sufficient just to be good, but that they should be good for something. Leadership Training Needed This, he said, is the reason for the increased demand on the YMCA for training in lead ership skills. Thirty-two board and com mittee members formed the working discussion groups at the conference. Sections were led by Mrs. Virginia Wicker- sham, family and adult pro grams; C. E. "Buz" Chamber lain on YMCA public rela tions,; Ray Offord on physical education and Alex McDonald on Youth club work. Bill War ren, general secretary of the Ashland YMCA, assisted as a resource person. Carl Brophy, president of the Medford YMCA, presided at the closing dinner. Among recommendations were the development of so cial and county education pro grams for young people just out of high school, organiza tion of a young married cou ples group, development of leadership training for young sters 12 year old and older. emphasis on physical educa tion programs and extension of the church athletic associa tion.
