O 1 4 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 'TfcartJay, Oct. S, 1939 In the mail at home last night was a letter from the Kappa Delta chapter at Washington State university (it was "college" in our dy) telling all about a new addition to the chapter house. One item absolutely shook this aging alum. It wasn't the fact that a new wing not a whole new house cost $72,000 to build, and $12,000 to furnish; it wasn't ;the fact that the new breakfast room (about the size of the dining room in the littlg house the chapter first owned) is furnished with turquoise iron tables and white chairs, or that the fall pledge class is 28 girls as compared to the 10 or 12 which was considered a good-sized class when this reporter was in college. What really stopped us was this: "The dorm is now par titioned in three sections for the 50 single beds, all wired for electric blankets." Instantly our mind swept back to the aays wnen we were a freshman at WSC and how cold it was that winter. This pledge wasn't accustomed to a really cold winter, having always lived on the coast of Washington. The thermometer sometimes fell to 15 and 20 degrees below zero in Pullman, and the wind howls over the low, rolling Palouse hills. And the Kappa Deltas, a new and struggling chapter, slept outdoors. Well, it was almost like being out doors. We had a floor under the beds, and a roof over us, but the sides of the sleeping porch were nothing but screens with canvas to roll down when it was cold and the wind blew. It was campus gossip that when a Kappa Delta prepared for bed, she resembled an Eskimo dressed for a trip over the frozen tundra. Even so, there v?ere times when we enjoyed the sleeping porch. For one thing, it was convenient for serenades. Back in those days it was the custom for fraternities and sororities to go serenading at the slightest provocation. A group rented a huge truck, rolled a piano on it and everyone piled on for a musical tour of the campus. When the serenaders came to the KD house, the truck and the fraternity men rolled up into the driveway right along side the sleeping porch it was like having a front row seat at a concert instead of havmg to sit in the gallery. If it was a moonlight night in spring, the men sometimes ran along the side of the porch and peered through the screen until they found their favorite co-ed. This was particularly exciting if the serenade followed an engagement announcement and this was a "sweetheart serenade." But what was it we started to write about? Oh, yes, 50 beds in the Kacca Delta dormitory at WSU. All wired for electric blankets. Butaen, this alum can't really complain at such coddling. For$f there's one modern luxury we'd hate to do without, it's our coey bed warmed by all those electric wires. What with PaDPeg "Beeof the Week," the society editor has sort of been basking in reflected glory. Sunday we dressed up even used ottr rbest long white kid gloves and went to the tea given in her honor. Yesterday noon we were among the 80 or so women and oe man, Judge Earl Miller, an honorary member of the Business,and Professional Women's club, at a luncheon given for her and to observe the annual BPWC week. Sunday the honored Beep, who is one of those clever women who can sew, wore a new print dress which she had made herself. (The last week she was taking it to meetings, in order to finish it on time.) It's yellow and brown colors echoed the yellow, bronze and brown of the chrysanthemums on the tea table, and also the big yellow chrysanthemum which the club gave tier to wear. She loSked very smart for the luncheon yesterday, too, wearing a beige eolored knit witir black beads and earrings. Mrs. Stephen G. Nye, club member and legislator who was the guest speaker, also had on a knit suit, hers being, a pretty green. Mrs. N. also. had on' flowers - an elegant orchid corsage which had been given her a couple of days ago when she went to Klamath Falls to speak for the Parents and Patrons club of Klamath Union High school.. Mrs.-Nye said the fldwers might be a bit elaborate for luncheon, but like most wqmen, she wanted to wear the corsage as much as possible before the flowers faded. ' ' Mrs. Nye had been asked to tell about her . days as a legislator. She said that fome she had enjoyed,-but that on other days sh could "hear the wind whistling through that hole in my heafl the one that appeared the day I consented to run for the legislature." j After giving her audience a glimpse of the hustle and bustle that goes on iif Salem, she . ended by saying that her husband had been most sympathetic and cooperative. "Not once did he write a 'Coya, please come home' letter," she declared.' " ' ; Mrs. Noel Davis stuck her head around the elevator door Monday to tell us a good story.- Little Lisa Landing went to her first football game last Friday night with her mother, Mrs. D. T. Landing. After Lisa had returned home she was telling about how big the players were. "They were great big boys," she explained; "and' they had long legs. Their legs were so long they stuck way out of their pedal pushers." Attorney George Rode -arrived -home-one recent .night, to find the big dictionary open. It being against the family rules to leave the book open, Mr. R. approached his older son. and daughter to .scold tljem, but was told that little Johnny wasothe culprit. Pleased that one so young should take an interest in wiirds, the mollified Mr.. Rode asked Johnny, "What wotd prere yeu looking for, son?? "Oh, I wasn't lookfiig for a word," explained Johnny. "I'm using it to press leaves." ' From Milwaukee, Wjs., comes a story about four-year-old TtnnrfSe Strev who confessed to her mother that she had Women's News Social Events Homemakers To Go North For Convention " A group of Jackson county homemakers will attend a Na tional Home Demonstration council meeting October 11-14 in Portland. Miss Mary Pat Lucy, Jack son county home demonstra tion agent, says about a dozen women' from this area will at tend the national meeting in its first visit to the West in 23 years.

The conference is not limit ed to 'extension officers 'or members; says Miss Lucy, Any woman in the county who would like to attend is invited, but must pay the $2 registration fee. Total attend ance is estimated to reach 2500, with homemakers com ing all the way from Alaska. Mame, and the far South. Oregon Night", October 14, will probably highlight the meeting for the local dele gation. The Bohemians, group of 13 Portland business men, will entertain with favo rite folk songs. This summer the Bohemians toured Europe at the invitation of the State Department and USO. One of the group spent- three years as a teacher in the Tyrolean Alps and many of the group's songs reflect his yodeling skill, it is reported. . Most of the program will be divided into special work ses sions built around projects that Jackson county home- makers use in local unit pro grams.
