Happy New Year I query and. wonder Who the fellow could be Who forgot to dismantle Our Christmas tree. —J.W.S. Six Homeless Puppies Presented to Sororities It rained dogs Sunday night. It must have, because six campus sororities answered their doorbells that evening, to find a small white, and mournful puppy had been left sitting on the doorstep. Around the neck of each “pledge” was a ribbon, with a tag at tached reading: “I was born on Armistice day. Please give me a good home. From Theta’s Marge Dibble came the sad story of a small dog who wrought general havoc with her couch and textbooks, then mysteriously disappeared— no one knows where. “We still have ours,” said Tri Delt Helen Angell. “He’s living in my room and we don’t know what to do with him. Does any tooy want a dog?” The AOPi’s gave theirs to the fAEs, where he could be assured a good home. Eugenia Robertson, Gamma t t d » ■#» « «, • • * ^ «»» •* • • • * ' •*-•*•* I hi, took theirs home with her temporarily, as did Leith Brown, Delta Gamma. Permanent homes are wanted for both these dogs, a'so. The house mother of the Sigma Kappa house took their dog to the dog and cat hospital, where attendants said the pup would be given a home and treated kindly. All the dogs were white or black and white, and said by the girls to be about two months old and "cute.” The donor remains unknown. Josef Hofmann dresses like a lawyer, hikes like a boy scout, handles machinery like a Scotch marine engineer, and deals rum my like one of the boys in the back room, for all that he plays like an angel,” said Keith Ker man of the New York World Telegram. Sixty-five years ago in Pod gorze, Poland, Hofman had the good fortune to be born into a musical family. His genius was, therefore, recognized early and by the time he was ten. years old w'as making his American debut in the New York Metropolitan opera house. Since that time Hofmann’s ca reer has been one of uninterrupt ed triumphs, and the world has continued to acclaim him as the foremost pianist of his time. Admission to the concert will be by presentation of an educa tional activities card. No ex change tickets are required. Dr. Erb Forum Speaker Dr. Donald M. Erb, University president, will speak at the West minster church forum in Port land, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, January 8. The speech will be presented at a dinner of the foj-um group.
