VOLUME XLIII NUMBER 13 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1041 Exec Comm Names Russ Hudson Alumni Fete Chairman; Arbuckle Appointed Rally Squad Member By HERB PENNY Selected as Homecoming- chairman by the executive com mittee at 6:15 Thursday evening was Russ Hudson, junior in BA and winner last year of the title of “Typical Joe College.’’ Hudson is now considering plans for the 1941 alumni fete and will probably announce appointments on the Homecoming committee next week.

Arbuckle IFC Will Back Sign Contest At Homecoming The interfraternity council will back the Homecoming sign contest, as it has in previous years, but will leave the ques tion of a noise parade up to the heads of houses, A1 Hunt, secre tary, announced last night, fol lowing an IFC meeting. Attempting to clarify what he called a “general misunderstand ing’’ concerning the attitude of the IFC toward this year’s Home coming, Hunt said that the coun cil had never refused to partici pate in the sign contest, and that their asking for a $25 expense ac count from the educational activ ities department, was a “request, not a demand.” ASUO President Lou Torge son will call a meeting of the heads of houses, representing tooth men’s and women’s groups, C^peek and independent, and refer the noise parade decision to them, Hunt said, adding that the IFC would abide by their deci sion. . If, however, the heads of hous es agrees upon a “better idea” the council will back them on that, he said. ) Hunt' mentioned complaints in past years from local hospitals, and from Eugene residents as ob jections to the noise parade. He also cited the necessity of houses going to Portland, often at con siderable expense, to collect scrap iron, locomotives, and oth emnaterials for the parade. suceeds Ray Dickson who is now In the navy. “The set-up should be perfect for having a Homecoming week end that will be an attraction for all alums,’’ said Hudson. “This year the campus women will bo given a greater chance to par ticipate in the arrangements than previously.” A tentative plan given by Hud son was the selection of a Home coming hostess to be in charge of greeting alumni. “We will at tempt to have as many Oregon women as possible assist her in this job,” declared the newly-ap pointed chairman. “This year we will try to con tact every alumnus in the state,” said Hudson. “The Oregon-Ore gon State game should be a big attraction in drawing a large crowd,” he stated, “and we will ’.Again use individual Homecom ing letters to be sent by the stu dents to reach alumni.” Hudson also outlined a plan to have rec ords made at the University which can be given over the air ipn the various radio stations of the state. Hudson is a member of the rally squad, secretary of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalistic fraternity, and has worked as a reporter for the Emerald. He is the first junior who has been ap pointed Homecoming chairman for more than two years. “I am very pleased at being named to this pisition,” said Hud son, “and will try to make thi3 Homecoming celebration surpass those of previous years.” Leonard Terrone, one of the world’s greatest fencers three decades ago, is in his thirty eighth season as coach of the University of Pennsylvania fenc ing team.

Grace Moore Says Brawn Overemphasized in US By JEAN SPEAROW “There is too much accent on muscle and too little on culture,” oserved Grace Moore, sunny-haired songstress, as she compared American young people to the same age-group in South America where she just finished a highly successful concert tour. “Young people between twenty and thirty in South America are^ vitally interested in broadening their cultural horizon,” she saidf “Whenever a new personality appears in the field of art or politics they are eager to investigate this new addition to their culture pattern. “It seems too bad, but the young people of the United States are losing their natural charm. There is too much wise cracking, too much slang being slung.” Miss Moore giggled appreciatively at her own choice of words, and then repeated them with obvious amusement. Dominant Her dominant personality filled the small hotel room as she sat on a severe straight-backed chair with each small, black, low-heeled shoe planted solidly on the carpet parallel with the legs of the chair.

The committee, meeting Thurs day afternoon, discussed the more pressing question of fresh man nominations, but delayed ac tion on the older class officer question.
