Well, to get on with all the things that will be happening at the picnic. At 1:30 they'll have the coronation of Queen Nina Sue Fernimen. Her four princesses are lean Barringer, Janis Peterson, Pat Davis, and Sallie Timmens. Snow belle, the Phi Psi's St. Bernard, polled 203 votes, but it seems that she was not scholastically eligible. Mortar Board and Friars, the senior honor aries, will march in caps and gowns and tap new members. Asklepiads, a medical honorary, will tap outstanding pre-med students, too. Later Friday afternoon is the terrace dance, which will be held on the steps in front of the Libe. Then you'll have dinner with us, after which we'll go to the All-Campus Sing. # This year so many houses entered that it was necessary to have an elimination contest for the women's houses. Having heard some of them myself, I can guarantee that you'll enjoy that. That big meeting of all the mothers is Satur day morning. If you'd like to get the word briefly on what their plans for the coming year are, this is the place to find out. You'll meet the organization's officers and probably some of the big wheels on campus. The Eugene Mothers club, aided by mem bers of the Young Women's Christian associa tion and the Associated Women's Students, will give you a tea Saturday afternoon. You'll get a chance to meet more mothers there and relax a minute over a soothing cup of tea. The float parade with an entry from each living organization will begin winding its way around the campus at 4 p.m. and after passing the iudges' stand at Johnson hall will continue up the street past Gerlinger so that all the mothers still at ihe tea will get to see them. Dear Mom— The big annual Junior Weekend with its accompanying Mothers' Weekend is coming off May 9, 10, and 11. With the University registra tion now at its highest for a spring term and everybody eager to make this year's Weekend a success, it should be the best ever. Things will start pepping at noon Friday when the all-University luncheon takes place on the lawn of the old campus. Incidentally, the Order of the O men are going to enforce the traditions there, including the one that nothing predominantly white may be worn. Chances are that they won't go around dunking mothers, but if you observe the traditions, people might think that you are but a coed yourself. At Saturday night's Junior Prom with Les Brown's orchestra, they're reserving the whole west end of McArthur court for the mothers. They're even going to have comfortable couches brought in for you, and they'll serve you punch and cookies. Some time during the aance or at intermission, we'll come upstairs to talk with you and rest a minute. After church Sunday we'll have dinner to gether again. Then at 3 that afternoon there will be a Sunlight Serenade at which the Vesper Choir will sing. Beverly Carroll, general chairman of Mothers' Weekend, the junior class officers, and those working with them have filled the three days with enough events to keep you busy, so you'll probably be glad to see your bed at night. If you aren't able to make reservations anywhere, let me know, and. I'll contact Beryl Howard at the Alpha Gamma Delta house. - She s taking charge of all the housing problems. They re planning to have some of the mothers stay at the women's living organiza tions some of the fellows mothers, too—so vou may get a touch of the life of a coed those two nights. This is just the condensation of things to come, but I know you'll have the time of your life down here. 111 be looking forward to your coming and making plans for it. Let me know right away when you'll be down. With love, Your Sons and Daughters At Oregon
