Gets Warmer “After this was replaced by warmer air, and rain still fell, it hit on ground' objects all at be _^«cw freezing temperatures, and immediately formed an icy glaze. This was broken only when the rain grew warm enough and fell in great enough quantities to neu tralize the temperature of the objects it fell on. Wednesday eve ning’s comparatively warm rain broke the cold spell,” Mr. Stovall concluded. Although these glaze periods seldom last more than 3 days and usually only a few hours, they are about the most destructive weather conditions we have, in the opinion of Mr. Stovall. Worst Hit ^ “Twigs and slender branches of trees and blades of grass suf fer the most because they are de tached from the warmth of the earth and cool off the most rap idly. The trees that really under went the most damage were those with brittle woods such as the cotton woods, locust and cedars. Mr. Stovall expressed a profound admiration for the sturdy Doug las fir which “stood up about the best of all.” Resurrection "Most Of the three will grow again, unless they were split clear to the base,” Mr. Stovall ^declared. He said the reason many trees in the parkings fell over completely, was because one side of their roots had been cut for the installation of sidewalks. He pointed out that these trees usually fell into the street. Mr. Stovall, who is also the ci vilian pilot coordinator, revealed that the glaze condition is an old story to pilots. He recalled a plane which landed in Eugene in 1929, during the last “silver thaw" which was “really a honey,” which had ice five inches thick on the leading edge of the wing as well as being completely coat ed with ice and triumphantly beautiful.

The blaze, discovered at about 1:30, was extinguished within 20 minutes by city firemen.

The fire was discovered by houseboys when they opened the chute to discard refuse, and found flames which had mounted from the basement. This is the sixth campus fire this year. Others who had fires were the Sigma Alpha Mus, the SAEs, the Alpha Chis (two fires), and the Alpha Delta Pis.
