Originality to Keynote Judging; Cup Offered BOB MORAN Chairman of the Homecoming Sign contest. Homecoming Tickets Ail students who plan to attend the Oregon-Oregon State game December 1 must go to the University ticket office at McArthur court before Novem ber 29 to get a special ticket. These tickets will be given upon presentation of the student body card, and are free. They are being issued to determine how many students will attend the game. All living organizations will compete in the traditional Homecoming sign contest this year, Contest Chairman Bob Moran announced Tuesday. A silver cup will go to the group whose sign is judged the most original, clever, and in the spirit of this year’s slogan “Ducks Revive in Forty-Five.” As in past years the large out door signs will be displayed m front of tire building, and may be equipped with lighting and moving parts. Some of the winning pre war signs were neon-lighted. Anxious to get in the race for first place honors, a few houses have already started work on their signs. True to tradition, the themes of these signs are closely guarded secrets. The “unveiling” will be at 6 p. m. Friday, Nov. 30, when all signs must be 'ready for judging. Judging will be done sometime Friday night or Satur day morning, Moran said. Popular themes in the past have been about the Homecoming foot ball game with Oregon State, but Homecoming is primarily in honor of the alums, Moran reminded contestants. Defending champions of the con test are Hendricks hall and Sigma Chi. Because there are only ten men’s living organizations this year, the men’s and women’s signs will be judged together, instead of separately as in the past. Because most students have nev er seen a Homecoming sign, Moran advised them to look at Old Ore ganas to get an idea of what re turning alums will expect to see, < 1‘iease turn to patie tour) Old Grad Dean Earl Recalls Former Homecoming Contests By DOROTHY THOMSON With homecoming just around the corner, some of the events of the past were investigated to see what goes on at these annual affairs. Dean of Men Virgil D. iSarl, by virtue of his long resi dence at the University was ques tioned on the subject. Dean Earl assured us that he is an “old timer” around the campus, stating that he has been connected with the University for nearly half a century. He entered the campus prep school in 1901 and graduated from the University with the class of 1906. While in college he played football and after several years of teaching throughout the state, re turned to Oregon to take over the job of director of athletics. This was in 1923, and seven years later he was elevated to the position of dean of men—a position he has handled for some 15 years. But back to the homecoming Dean Earl doesn’t recall any of the yearly events as particularly out standing, although they fall into a rather fixed pattern of procedures, each one is memorable to contem porary students. Cup Awarded True to tradition, a silver cup will go to the organization show ing the most originality, clever ness, and best interpretation of the theme. In pre-war days organi zations planned tlreir displays weeks ahead of time and some <;f the results had moving parts ami neon lighting. The emphasis this year because homecoming is pri marily for alums, should be placed on their return, rather than the game. The dean added that the noise parade serves a double purpose as a pre-game rally. "Saturday’s game is always an event, doubly so when Oregon wins the contest,’’ be continued. Dance Saturday Night The homecoming dance Satur day night winds up the weekend and the winner of the sign contest will be announced at this time. The defending champions this year are Hendricks hall and Sigma Chi. Although the 1945 celebrations are not expected to surpass pre war standards, it is hoped that this return will be rapid. According to Dean Earl, there is a conflicting effort on the part of the students to make the homecomings bigger and better, injecting new ideas, and at the same time to preserve tradition. However, through the years, the weekend follows the conventional accepted plan of events.
