H.S. Gals to Get
Special Preview
Of UO PiggirT
Giving the high school senior
girls a chance to see the University
and its piggers is the purpose of
the annual AWS Nickel Hop,
planned for Friday from 9 p.m. to
midnight. About 200 girls will be
guests of the women’s living organ
izations for the weekend.
The men’s living organizations
are urged to participate in the
dance 100 per cent, according to
Co-chairmen Joan O’Neill and Sal
ly Mueller.
A prize of Chesterfield cigarettes
will be awarded to the men’s or
ganization that visits the most
number of women's houses. The
practice of going to the women’s
houses in an organized group has
proved the most successful system
in preceding years, the chairman
said. It aids in registering at the
door and keeps the crowd more
evenly distributed among the wom
en’s organizations.
Prizes of Chesterfields will also
be awarded to the women’s house
finishing with the most nickels col
lected from the men. All awards
will be made on a percentage basis,
Marjorie Petersen, prize chairman,
emphasized. A nickel will be col
lected from the fellows every 15
minutes.
Refreshments will be served in
each women’s living organization
at 10:30.

chairmen Joan O’Neill and Sally
Mueller are awards, Marjorie Pe
tersen; co-chairmen of contacts,
Ruth Landry and Eleanor Johns;

tions, Joan Mimnaugh; co-chair

Many Oregon Traditions Stem
From Junior Week-end Festival
By LOU WESTON
Spring at Oregon is personified
not by sunshine and the proverbial
budding trees and flowers, but by
the approach of Junior Weekend,
complete with traditions and bles
sed release for those on freshman
privileges.
Dating from 1890 when the
Junior class set aside a day in
May for the presentation of a,
progranji of orations and music, the
Weekend has evolved as each
year’s committee has worked to
make their program more out
standing than that of the pre
vious year.
To add class emphasis to the
day, junior women conceived a flag
of the class colors and flew it from
the roof of Deady hall. Soph
omores, with a superb display of
class spirit dragged it down and a
battle-royal ensued between mem
bers of the two classes. The dig
nity of Junior Day was shattered.
War tactics became increasingly
complex and destructive until the
class of 1906 decided to leave a
more lasting memoir and spent
their day cleaning and beautifying
the campus. One of their first pro
jects was the building of the “O”
of Skinner’s Butte. Since then
freshmen have been “encouraged”
to brighten its lemon coat of paint
each year.
Oregon women, not to be out
done, served luncheon to compen
sate their hard-working classmen
and later suggested a canoe fete
to make the day more festive.
Another day was set aside in i
1908 for athletic events and the
Junior F?rom; the celebration of
ficially became Junior Weekend
and a queen was elected to rule
her campus subjects during the
gala events.
As Junior Weekend has evolved
over this period of 58 years, a
trace of each stage of its develop
ment has been embodied in the
events and traditions which are
observecf. They have been modi
fied, rearranged among classes,
and changed as the campus person
ality is changing, but always pre
served in the spirit that is Oregon.

All women’s living organizations
