COEDS' CORNER
Blonde, Junior Class Prexy Boosts For Women's Activities
Being a Y.W.C.A. freshman counselor and Gamma Phi Beta's representative on the United Women's council are the two activities which keep Elizabeth Evans busiest and interest her most. The blonde, blue-eyed, junior class president meets with her freshman group every Wednesday afternoon to further acquaint them with the activities of the Y.W.C.A. and the University.
"Every woman should be happy when she first comes on the Hill" she said seriously, and added that through the new United Women's council this might be accomplished by personal counseling and wider orientation. She said she hopes that something definite will be done about coordinating women's activities through common interests and welfare before she leaves the cam-
bus.
Elizabeth, College junior, from Winfield, is still undecided as to whether psychology or geology will be her major.
She is the chairman of the county club of the State-wide Activities commission and is on the executive committee of N.O.W. In her "spare time" she goes on Geology club field trips and acts as house manager and song leader for her sorority.
She has been active in the Dramatic Workshop and A Cappella choir, and has been on the Dean's Honor roll.
"The only thing I don't like about K.U." she mused, "is that I don't have enough time for reading."
Such a busy life seemed reason enough for the poised junior's remark, "I worry a lot."
Geography, Music Go Hand In Hand For Juke Box Girl
Pittsburgh. (UP)—Geography and juke_boxes go hand in hand for Claire Gillott.
Claire, an attractive brunette, is employed by a juke box agency where it is her task to select records for 700 customers. Her working hours are spent listening to records and co-ordinating the selections with certain districts in the Pittsburgh area.
For example, one section of Pittsburgh is predominantly populated by Slavs. Claire has discovered that these people prefer polites. A Negro district goes in for boogie-woogie and the blues.
Still another section prefers what Claire calls "cry - in - your - beer tunes." These records are favorites in tavernies frequented by older men and women who drop in "just for a glass of beer."
Teen-agers are divided, Claire discovered. They prefer either sweet or swing.
Claire said "Begin the Beguine" as an all-time favorite, running a shade behind "White Christmas," a seasonal selection. "Easter Parade," of course, is dusted off each spring.

UNION BUILDING
Does Claire weary of hearing music all day?
In the fall football songs are distributed.
“You'd think I'd never want to see a phonograph record,” she said. “But instead of that being the case, I have become a juke box addict. The minute I get home from work, I turn on my own automatic record changing machine.”
Students May Take Record Examinations
The graduate record examination, which many schools require as one of the credentials for admission to the graduate school, will be given in two separate sections Feb. 3 and 4, 1947, in the Pine room of the Union.
For graduate or prospective graduate students, the examination enables the student to compare his present knowledge with his competitors.
Results of the examination may enforce his claim to fellowships or scholarships, advanced standing where due, to admission from distant or little-known schools, or to admission in case of adequate preparation but deficient records.
Miss Orcutt To Wed Honolulu 'Sugar' Man
Miss Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of voice, will be married Monday to Burt Bacon, manager of a large sugar cane plantation near Honolulu, in the plantation home.
Miss Orcutt went to Honolulu this fall on a year's leave to teach at Punahou school, a large private school. She had taught at the University the past 18 years.
Application to take the examination must be made before Jan. 17, 1947. Thomas Christensen in 2A Frank Strong hall may be consulted for further information.
