for the affair, he declared, since

No orchestra has been signed as

being considered for the dance.
Honored guests—and rulers—
for the dance will be the Junior
Weekend Queen and her court of
princesses. These regal rulers are
to be crowned at the luncheon
banquet earlier in the day and will
attend the dance as one of their
official duties.
Farrell announced his appoint
ments for the prom committees
yesterday: In charge of decora
tions for the affair is Dave Stone

charge of the programs.
Jim Thayer is chairman of the
ticket committee; Martha Jane
Schweitzer is in charge of pat
rons and patronesses, and Fred
Treadgold is publicity head.
A conga line, strictly in the
South American vein, will also

ideas for those attending the
dance, it was intimated.

the Wolves” will be bestowed
upon the men’s living organiza
tion which has collected the larg
est number of tickets at the last
Nickel Hop of the year to be held
at all women’s houses from 6:30
to 8:30.
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.
Organization chairmen of the
nickel hop follow: Alpha Chi

Delta Pi, Billie Marshall; Alpha
Gamma Delta, Nancy Brownell;

’Sunny’Buck
Hits Campus
Tanned, brown-eyed, with the
usual wide grin, Buck Buchwach
brought the sunshine with him
from Las Vegas, Nevada, where
he has been serving for the past
seven months in the ground sig
nal corps.
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.

Surprises Due
At Fresh Glee
Spring term’s first all-campus
dance, Fresh Glee, is scheduled
for this coming Saturday night
along with surprise decorations.
Carrying out the theme of Black
Magic, Spider Dickson and his or
chestra will be assisted by the
new campus harmony quintet,
"Four Knights and a Dream.”
Mystery, as the theme Black
Magic suggests, will surround
most of the decoration and en
tertainment plans until the event
takes place. However, it has been
announced that the Four Knights
and a Dream, composed of Char
lotte Gething, Chick Cecchini,
Don Bridenstine, Frank Sardam,
and Paul Beard, arc preparing a
special Black Magic number for
the dance.

bcrs of the junior class. Before
they were changed the sophomore
constitution stated that votes for
officers must be cast by “mem
bers of the class of '45’’ and the
junior constitution stated that,
only voters with academic stand
ing as juniors could cast vote;?
for their class officers.
Registration cards from the
news bureau files will be used to
determine to which class each
student belongs according to his
social standing on the campus,
following a suggestion made by
the Emerald. A change in the
constitution was made necessary
because of the elimination of
class cards which were used be
fore to ascertain the student's
status.
Each candidate for nomination
should submit his declaration of
intention to run and a certificate
of eligibility to the president of
the ASUO by midnight of the

For your sake
"War Bonds for Your Sake,"
was the central theme, and he
declared that the purchase cf
war bonds will decrease purchas

inflation. He called war bonds a.
deferred purchasing power, a
hedge on the future which will
avoid the expected slump at the
end of the war. War bonds pro

Erb asserted.
