Tony Cummings and Bill Far

place Chuck Mallory, who will
not be in school winter term.

A similar situation existed ear
in the term, when George
Arbuckle was chosen to fill a
rally post left vacant by Ray
Dickson, who did not return to
school. Dickson is now in the US
navy.
The rally committee has al
ready started work with the
Homecoming committee in pre

Sophomore Skit Wins
First Place at Capers
Sophomore women won first
place in the coed capers skit con
test last night with their “Con

skit was supervised by Janet
Ross. Seniors took second place
with “Horace the Bear,” arranged
by Robin Nelson.
Hendricks hall women won the
coStume contest with their suf
fragette theme, which was orig
inated by Mary Reimers.
Two men, allegedly “planted,”
were ejected by the “senior cops.”
The “cops” picked them up, car
ried them to the door, and threw
them out. They waited, however,
until a photographer was present.
'Y' Cabinets to Meet
In Bungalow Today
YMCA and YWCA cabinets
will meet in joint session this af
Ternoon at 4 in the “YW” bunga
low. Problems common to both
groups will be discussed and re

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.

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. Thus
will the spell of her vibrant personality make returning alums
and other visitors to the annual alumni fete feel they are
- truly “coming home.’’

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.

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.

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.
