The winning men's house will receive a S5 money order for new phonograph records. Winners last term were the Theta Chis, who won the title of ‘‘King of the Wolves.” All men will turn their tickets in at the house at which they collected them after they have written their names and living organizations on the backs of all tickets. Each girl will have as many tickets as there are dances, and will also write her name and living organization on the back of her ticket before she gives it to the boy. She will give one to each person with whom she be gins a dance. The slogan of the hop, "Keep up the Morale of your best Gal,” will really be ‘‘at home” along with the wartime atmosphere of the affair. Immediately after the hop, cer tain representatives from each women’s living organization will count all tickets and money to determine both winning men’s and women’s living organiza tions.

Buchwach, who .graduated last year, prayed fervently two years ago for sunshine to make freck les on the queen’s nose at Junior weekend. His prayers kept the campus dry and cheerful for a whole term. Tuesday he came back on furlough, and lo! the sun! It’s an old story to him now, since Las Vegas has sun too— but old campus hands are sure there is something mystical about the whole thing. While on the campus he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Fri ars, senior men’s honorary, and was president of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s journalism honorary. He served on the editorial staff of the Emerald and did publicity for Junior Weekend and numer ous campus dances. Buchwach will leave at 12 noon today.
