was among the incongruous con
glomeration of apparel and nick
nacks sold over the AWS aution
block Wednesday in front of the
Side. It went to Betty Lou (wily
buyer) Brugman, sophomore in

a success, according to Marge

Sign Contest
Ends at Noon
Tomorrow
The high flying red, white, amt
blue banner of The Stars and
Stripes will be the theme of Jun
ior Weekend in order to carry;
out the "Of Thee I Sing” motif,
the Weekend directorate decidecf
Thursday.
With the announcement of tin*
theme Betty Jane Biggs, promo
tion chairman, pointed out thr.it
the motif could be played up in,
the roaidsidb sign contest which
closes at noon tomorrow.
The selection of a theme war*
left in the hands of the commit
tee instead of holding the tradi
tional theme contest, explained
Pat Cloud, junior class president.
This was done, he said, because
of many difficulties which have
arisen because of war pressure.
No War Kali Kali
John Busterud, Junior Weekend
chairman, pointed out that tin*
theme was not chosen in order;
to play on the present war emo
tionalism but merely to carry out,
the central motif of the musical.
The theme should be used as
“happy type of patriotism,” ho
added, and is not used to remind
students of Pearl Harbor but of
the United States.
The directorate committee
which selected the theme is:
Cloud, Busterud, Miss Biggs, and
Les Anderson, chairman of the"
Junior' Prom committee.
