nday by Dick Williams, edu
cational activities manager.

ities manager.

New Sigma Chi
'Heart' Named
^The oft-serenaded Sweetheart
c Sigma Chi became a reality
Sunday night when Virginia
Wright, freshman in business ad
ministration from Pomona, Cali
fornia, ascended the mythical
throne.
Virginia, who is a pledge of
Gamma Phi Beta, was chosen by
a vote of the active members of
the Oregon chapter of Sigma Chi.

sure that it is represented at this
conference.”
Friday Deadline
The contest chairman remind
ed that the deadline for entry
applications is Friday noon, and
the deadline for completed signs
is 6 p.m. of the same day. Ap
plications must include an item
ized account of expenditures. Al
though Lilly's committee set a
$15 limit on the cost of any single
sign, house managers of men’s
organizations have agreed to a
voluntary limit of $7.50 for them
selves.
Referring to the theme of the
signs, Lilly said, “Keep the colle
giate motif in the background.
This is war, and we ought to get
in tune with the times.”
Two more announcements con
cerning Homecoming activities
came from Dick Burns, Order of
the O, and Uly Dorais, head of
the alumni service contest.
Hack Sessions
Burns reminded that traditions
of the week must be observed
without fail. He said violators
will be punished in regular noon
hack sessions in front of the Law
School, the next set of non-con
formers meeting their fate today.
Dorais' statement was that un
less entries in the alumni service
contest are in his hands or turned
in to the alumni office by 6 p.m.
today, they will be considered
void. Ample time has been given
for lists of men in the armed
forces to be reported so that
there is no legitimate reason for
extending time.
Homecoming Hacking
The perennial hack
Below the back
Is ruled for all offenders.
It’s s’prising to see
What loyalty
The thought of hack engenders.

Two Days Left
To Fill Quota
For Fag Drive
With only two more days for
each student on the campus to
"buy a bag of fags” for the USD
contribution to the soldiers at
Camp Adair, it is urged by Rohda
Harkson, chairman of the USD
committee, that all living organ
izations go 100 per cent in sup
port of the drive.
According to Miss Harkson,
the goal of 3000 packages of cig
arettes would easily be reached
if each student could be counted
on to buy at least the one pack
expected of him or if he would
buy more.
Collection boxes are located at
the College Side, Taylor’s, YMCA,
YWCA, the Co-op, and Gerlinger
hall, for the convenience of stu
dents living off the campus aa
well as those affiliated in organ
izations on the campus.
One representative from each
living organization is responsible
for the box of his or her respec
tive house and for turning in re
sults each night of the drive be
fore 7 p.m. to either Betty Bevil
or Florence Hamilton, USO com
mittee members.

bobbypins, and started putting up her hair.
“A statement about the Capers?” Unconvincingly she
panned, with a sly grin and a
squeak, “I think it's going to
flop.”
She added, “Personally, I think
you should let me go to bed and
get my two hours sleep. It's being
