Br-r-r-r When I came down to school this fall, 'Twas wonderous weather to be hold. I made my bed ’neath windows wide. On sleeping porch I would abide Where breath of nature could un fold. But not I much of weather knew, For wind doth blow and cold doth sting, 'So now I lie all shivery, And think how grand ’twill sure ly be If I can but hold out ’til spring. f —J.W.S.

Welcome Rack, QnxzdU Hello Girl* Will Greet Alumni at Homecoming “Hello,” smiled Oregon’s No. 1 “Hello Girl.” “How are you? Won’t you sit down? Just make yourself at home. Would you like to take off your coat?” Thus with a warm, friendly smile and a cordial handshake Hope Hughes, Homecoming hostess, welcomes her guests.

Fun? ‘‘I think it’s fun,” Miss Hughes said of her job as hostess, “al though I’ve really done nothing yet but say 'hello' to everyone I meet. But I like being hostess for Oregon—I even liek the ribbing I get about it.” More than a little puzzled about the duties of a Homecom ing hostess, Miss Hughes is not yet qpite sure exactly what she is supposed to do, aside from gretting all the students, faculty members, alumni, mothers, dads, brothers, sisters, and family gold fish she meets. “I think I’m sup posed to help with registration of alums,” she remarked vaguely. Broad Field Oregon’s official hospitality girl is a history major because “history is such a broad field and includes so many other fields as it records their developments.” She hasn’t yet decided what to do after graduation next spring, but thinks she might like to teach history in college. “Sports are my favorite diver sion,” Miss Huges, president of . the Women’s Athletic association, declared, “with swimming head ing the list but closely followed by volleyball and rifle. jbance Woody Hite to Play At Homecoming Hop wuuuy xiue s orcnestra nas oeen signed to piay at tno Homecoming dance Saturday evening, November 29, it was announced late Monday by Ted Hallock, band chairman. After losing- all his instruments and library in the dis astrous Palladium fire in Portland, Hite organized a new band and purchased a complete new library. He has since been play ing in the Uptown in Portland. He also provided music for the Portland rally dance. Last year Hite played on the campus for the Military ball. The orchestra boasts two vocalists. Big Name Although attempts were made to sign a big name band, it was found that all those contacted had been booked far in advance. Hite's band is comparatively new, having first been organized just seven years ago. Don Hite, brother of Woody, is a member of the orchestra. Informal Short silks for girls and suits for boys will be the order of the evening, as the Homecoming dance is traditionally informal. Patrons and patronesses are being invited to the dance by means of letters. Tickets to the dance will be sold through the living organiza tions. Weekend Rain Floods Faculty, Drenches Pets With his cat floating around in the basement, and his chick ens roosting in trees, E. G. Moll, associate professor of English, had a decidedly uncomfortable time Sunday night when “old man river” was flooding his basement and orchard, putting his new fur nace out of order, and sending all the sawdust floating in his basement. Professor R. H. Ernst'also was in rather trying circumstances Sunday when he went out to a golf course and parked his car. Upon returning he found his car flooded, and himself obliged to find other means of transporta tion. Alnueit Beit SDX Second in Nation For the second successive year the Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic frater nity, is rated second in the nation. Palmer Hoyt, publisher of the Portland Oregonian and a professional member of the Oregon chapter, was elected national president at the fraternity’s convention in New Orleans last weekend. The Oregon chapter came out one percentage below the first-ranking Northwestern university group. Lyle Nel son was president during 1940-41. In 1938-39, the Oregon group won first place. Biggest boost to the local chapter was its successful Kay Kyser dance last spring which netted $900 for the student union fund. The society has sponsored several all-school assemblies, compiled a photographic yearbook, staged banquets, helped run off newspaper conventions on the campus, and initiated prominent Oregon journalists as professional members. , FIRST NIGHTER —Courtesy Eugene Newn Phyllis Gray, pianist, will giyo the first student recital of the year tonight at 8.
