Ducks Welcome Oregon Alums (Continued from page one) Are Burning,” Cloud and his di rectorate started things rolling, beginning first with the an nouncement of the Homecoming alumni service contest by Chair man Uly Dorais. This contest was a battle among the men’s living organi zations to see who could trace back as far as possible and com pile the longest list of alums who are now in some branch of the service. The result was a tie between the Delta Tau Deltas and Kappa Sigmas, each having a total of 143. Signs Typify War Welcoming signs for visiting alums was the next big issue on the list, so the annual sign con test, headed by Bill Lilly, was started immediately. This year displays were carried out in the theme of the slogan and typi fied the world situation as it is today rather than the usual col legiate ideas. High point in the plans was the announcement that Tommy Dorsey and his famed orchestra would play for tonight’s dance in the Igloo. There has already been a complete sell-out of tick ets and sitting room only is left. Hello Girls On hand all day to welcome alums who are arriving period ically are the Homecoming “hello girls,” Carolyn Loud, Gaynor Thompson, Phyllis Horstman, and the official hostess of the week end, Martha Jane Switzer.

Plenty of pep was kept rolling as Ted Loud, yell king, led his new swing yell for both the preceding rally program and the radio show. Humor was presided over by the capable Earle Russell, intro duced on the radio by Ray Dick son. Picked Talent The hour and a half show was packed with talent picked after weeks of work by Chairman Fred Beckwith and his „able script committee. Surprise of the evening was the quintet that lived up to the ex pectations set by Russell when he said they would “wow ’em.” Bet ty Wycoff, Ox Wilson, Don Kirsch, Eugene Cecchini, and Kress Phipps made up the group that sang songs to illustrate the various eras in campus life. Service Contest Tie Winners of the service men’s contest were announced, and 143 was given as the greatest total number—making a tie between the Delta Tau Deltas and Kappa Sigmas. Since only one flag had been ordered it was necessary to flip for the house to receive the flag available at this time. Delta Tau Delta won the flip and the flag. Kappa Sigmas will receive their service banner as soon as it arrives. The second one will be ordered at once, according to Uly Dorais, chairman of the commit tee for the service men’s contel 1 Miss Wilson Heads Utah Econ Department Miss Doris Wilson, former in structor in textiles, foods, home planning and furnishing, wrote in a letter to Miss Mabel Wood, home economics director,, that she is now head of the home eco nomics department in the re-al location center in central Utah.
