selection had been set up prior to
that time under direction of Ken
Christianson, former Emerald
sports editor.
Anet was cnosen 1940-41 winner

campus vote had narrowed the
competing field to six graduating
athletes.
Repercussions
Choice of the Babb winner this
year was made by the executive
council following recommendation
of the athletic board and coach
es. Repercussions from the selec

Worth, first vice-president of the
ASUO, and Jim Bennison, junior

two to investigate rules for fu
ture years.
Included as judges in the orig
inal plan were:
Dr. Donald M. Erb, Dean Virgil

Who Gets Hop Queens?
Men Gird for Battle
By BETTY ANN STEVENS
Offering a prize for the first time in the history of Nickel
Hops to participating men’s living organizations, co-chairmen
Joan Dolph and Mary Corrigan officially give their blessings
to the January 15 event with: “May the best man win . . . the
$5 worth of records from the radio laboratory.”
The woman’s organization tak
ing in the most money will re
*hve a cup, which the Sigma

Slogan in Doubt
Unable to decide whether to
have a slogan of “The Last Call
to Arms,” “Hug a Pickle for a
Nickel,” or “Swing a Cutie, It's
Your Duty,'1 Hop chairmen an
nounce that the 7 to 9 affair will
be in honor of all men in the re
serves, “since it may be the last
chance they’ll have to dance with
a girl outside of the USO, so
they should take advantage of
the opportunity, and anyway,
Uiey have a chance to win a
prize.”
Slips Given
Girls will be given eight blue
slips of paper, which they will
give, with their name on it, to
whoever pays a nickel and dances
for a whole three-record period
with them. Fellows will not be
able to cut in and receive a blue
slip. After the Hop, all tickets
must be taken to the upstairs
room in the Side where Jane Al
ice Pengra is in charge of count
ing.
In charge of nickel-counting,
held at the Alpha Gamma Delta
house, is Flora Kibler. Assisting
the two will be Jeanne Smith,
Betty Jones, Maxine Cady, Ber
niece Granquist, and Betty Lu
Siegman.
Other chairmen and their as
sistants are: Audrey Holliday, or
ganization, assisted by Barbara
McClung, Ann Walker, and Max
ine Hughes; Bonnie Umphlette,
finance chairman; Edith Newton
and Betty Ann Stevens, public
ity co-chairmen, assisted by Dor
othy Rogers; Velita Estey, pos
ters, assisted by Doris Chapler.

Saturday Deadline
Hangers must be in the YM
CA by Saturday noon. The drive
is being conducted in Eugene with
the assistance of Eugene and Uni
versity high schools. Recognition
will be given to the living organi
zation which contributes the most
hangers. Paper hangers are not to
be turned in, as they are not heavy
enough to hold a military coat.
Miss Bevil explained.
The following statement from
Chaplain Clair E. Yohe of Camp
Adair explains the need for clothes
hangers:
Chaplain States Need
Oregon Students:
I assure you that we were
greatly pleased to hear today
that your local USO is planning
to have a drive for coat hangers
in the city of Eugene. We were
especially impressed with your
plan to have the drive be a
house to house affair. We would
hardly have cared to have tolcl
you that this is the way to- do
it; but now that you have said
that this is your plan, we heart
ily agree that there is no better
way to do it.
We have two major reasons
for wishing to secure a quantity
of coat hangers:
1. If a soldier cannot hang his
clothes properly, they will never
look neat. He*will always be a
wrinkled soldier.
2. There is always the point
of health. Clothes properly hung
will dry out and air out better.
The soldier will feel better ancl
do a. better job if we can keep
his clothing in good shape for
him.
