Ex-Women's' Editor Joins Plymouth Weekly


By ROSE PERLBERG
Within three weeks, former Dai-
ly Women's Editor Virginia (Dee-
dy) Robertson has bridged the
gap between coed and career wom-
an with characteristic ease and
efficiency.
As the youngest editor of The
Plymouth Mail, she's impressed
new bosses with the same natural
manner and ability to get things
done that won praise and respect
from campus friends and Daily
co-workers.
Former Daily Figure
Small - 5'2" - slim Deedy, "a
nickname that came about," she
explains with a grin, "'cause my
sister couldn't say Ginny," was a
familiar part of The Daily crew.
She considered 420 Maynard "a
place to relax as well as get some-
thing constructive done."
Coeds, who worked with Deedy
during her three years on Women's
Staff, talk of her quiet determina-
Ktion in coping with problems, her
inexhaustible ideas and vitality.
A present night editor recalls an
instance when she was a tryout
and Deedy night editor:
"We had two pages to put out'
that night and almost no copy and
no help. Anyone else would have
panicked, declared the job im-
possible. But beedy wasn't dis-
couraged. She kept her cheerful
smile, sat down at a typewriter
and wrote all the stories herself."
Co-worker Recollections
Others remember her as "al-
ways willing to fin'd time to listen
to your side, to work with you, not
direct you." Such characterizations
point to several of the 21-year-old
journalist's basic philosophies.
She stresses the "importance of
being yourself," spurns artifliciali-
ty and "pushy people."
It shows in her writing, color-
fully marked with the colloquial
expressions and informality of her
speech. It underlies the quick, nat-
ural smile that dimples her cheeks.
She professes "a faith in peo-
ple and in their basic goodness."
She follows the maxim "act in-
terested, in someone and you'll
gain his confidence," but in her
case, the interest is real.
Appears Quiet, Shy
To those who know Deedy only
slightly, she appears quiet, shy,
and seemingly indecisive. "Some-
times," she says reflectively, "I
give people the impression of being

weight from one sideyof the chair
to the other and says simply :
"Somehow I've always been able
to find time to do things just be-
cause I've wanted to do them."
Bouncing up she remarks on her
large amounts of energy. "I like to
run around and do something dif-
ferent all the time. That's why I
like journalism, there's always
something new to do and people,
to meet."
Urge 'to Move On'
It's this restlessness that made
Deedy impatient to finish college,
so she graduated early. The same
restless urge "to move on" makes
her unsure how long she'll stay
at her new job.
Right now, the Plymouth Mail
is a "welcome change" from three-
and-one-half years at the Univer-
sity. Deedy's official title is Soci-
ety Editor.
From her cluttered desk-"I get
conf used, she confides with an
impish grin, when it's neat, gotta
have a lot of things on my mind-"
she writes Women's Section news
and features for the weekly plus
"any little old things that come
in."
Small Town Weekly
The Mail is "a lot different from
The Daily," she explains. "It's ori-
entated for small town taste,
prints no world or national news,
but appeals to the home and how
to make the family happier."
Her ability to adjust to the dif-
ferent range, Deedy attributes to
Daily experience. The on-the-spot
training in writing to meet dead-
lines and interviewing people, she
calls "invaluable."
The change from a daily to
weelly paper also cuts down on
pressures, Deedy adds. She works
weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and "never takes any work home."
Enjoys Free Evenings
Deedy is still marvelling over her
free evenings. A TV set in the
newly acquired apartment ac-
counts for some of her time, books
for more, but the "biggest hunk"
goes to Max Holden, the boy she's
been pinned to for over a year.
The future, Deedy remarks, "is
pretty indefinite." But with char-
acteristic cheerfulness, she doesn't
seem too worried about it.

Coed Hours
To Stay Same
Women's Judic Finds
'No Need for Change'
By SUE RAUNHEIM
"Women's closing hours will re-
main the same as in the past,"
said Bety Jean Kafka, Chairman
of Women's Judiciary Council.
Meeting yesterday afternoon,
the Council decided to keep the
status quo because "not enough
students felt the change was
needed," Miss Kafka added.
Having remained neutral so far,
Women's Judic discussed the
problem, with different campus
group leaders. They found that a
new system of having 1 a.m.'s ev-
ery Saturday night would not help
the calendaring situation because
there are only a certain number
of weekends and the half hour
change would not make that
much difference.
Miss Kafka said that the vote
of the Women's Judic was unani-
mous. As it stands now, students
will have 12:30 a.m.'s every Fri-
day night and 12:30 a.m.'s on Sat-
urdays with 1:30 a.m. late permis-
sions on special occasions.
Previously Women's Judic had
referred the question to the re-
spective campus housing units for
voting. However, votes were so
close that the Council felt it had
no basis for making a decision.
Miss Kafka explained. The house-
mothers were then asked to com-
ment on the question but their
vote was also too close.
She commented that student
reaction to the automatic late
permission created a much larger
stir on campus.

Satch, a shortened version of the
nickname "Satchelmouth," started
his professional career at 17 with
Kid Ory's band.
Learning first on the bugle,
Satch later tried the clarinet and
trumpet, made an attempt at sing-
ing and orchestra composing and
eventually took a stab at record-
ing.
He went from Ory's band to
clarinet position in King Oliver's
band. Satch started his own outfit
in 1925, leaving the clarinet for the
trumpet.
Despite his 56 years, gravel-
voiced Satch is known for "a vi-
tality that has helped keep jazz
alive" and has gained the distinct
title: "noble character of Ameri-
can goodwill."

Jazz, Satch says, has an emo-
tional impact that cuts through all
manner of linguistic and ideologi-
cal barriers. "When I played Ber-
lin," he recalls, "a lot of those
Russian cats jumped -the ~Iron
Fence to hear me play," which
goes to prove that music is strong-
er than nations.
Accra, on the West African Gold
Coast, was Satch's next stop Here,
in the country of his ancestors, he
was royally welcomed by 15 calyp-
so playing bands. The crowd sang
"All for You, Louis. All for You."
Leaving behind him what critics
called a trail of goodwill, trumpet-
ist Satch began his tour of the
United States. New York's Basin
Street was his first appearance.
He followed it with a concert at
Newport, R.I.

'wishy washy' 'cause I don't get
mad easily."
Closer friends like Gamma Phi
Beta sorority sister and former
roommate Ellen Laupe say that
she's "pretty independent, always
has her own definite ideas on a
subject," but they'll stress her pa-
tience in feeling out people and
situations, weighing both sides of
an issue before making up her
mind,
Deedy claims her "art of wait-
ing before plunging" comes from
her home background. She "inher-
its, the ability from her, "civil engi-
neer-turned. - architect dad and
"lady lawyer mom." With three
younger brothers, she shrugs and
laughs, "you have to be patient."
Journalism 'Comes Easily'
Deedy traces her flair for jour-
nalism b a c k to Birmingham
(Mich.) junior nigh school days-
the Robertson clan has since been
to Santa Barbara, Calif.-and
"homeroom teacherwho publishe
a gossipy newsletter."
Running a pencil through short,
reddish-brown hair, Deedy recalls
her first article: "I expounded on

my main passion at the time, trop-
ical fish." She's been writing for
newspapers, first high school, then
The Daily, and now professionally
ever since. Journalism stuck, she
smiles, "'cause it just comes easily
and I feel at home with it."
Her tropical fish hobby has also
persisted, as 'sister' Ellen will read-
ily attest. "Deedy," Ellen says, "has
'fish phobia.' She puts her babies
(five kinds) in a specially heated
aquarium, feeds them medicine
and will just sit and stare at them
for hours.
Always Active
Fish-sitting is about the only
time, reveals Ellen, that she's ever
seen Deedy "still for more than a
few minutes. She always fidgets.
She'll sit down to study, but pret-
ty soon that devilish twinkle comes
into her eye and you know she's
about to be doing something else."
Deedy acquired a reputation at
the Gamma Phi House for her
ability to pursue a wide range of
activities.
While an editor at The Daily, a
member'of Theta Sigma Phi, Kap-
pa Tau Alpha, and Scroll honor-
aries and participant in other cam-
pus organizations, Deedy found
herself "zipping around campus on
my bike" to as many as five dif-
ferent meetings a day.
Water Color Hobby
Back at the house, she'd be busy
with some sorority project, "dab-
bluig around" in water colors, an-
other hobby, in between stuffy ses-
sions and an active social life.
How does she do it? Friends
