Hostess Candidates Enjoy Antiques, Horses tsy btan lurnbull I A five-year-old, a junior, and a senior are the first of six Home coming Hostess finalists to be in terviewed by the Enperald. They are Carol Bartel, Delta Delta Delta; Barbara Budden hagen, Gamma Phi Beta; and Grace Hoffman, Kappa Kappa Gamma. GRACE HOFFMAN Only five because she was born on Feb. 29, 1928, Grace Hoffman is looking forward to her sixth birth day anniversary in 1952. She’s really 21 now. A senior in speech who has done radio interviewing-, the flashing eyed brunette nearly , wrote her own interview. This year KOAC, state radio station, carries her semi-weekly short-story readings, “Your Personal Bookshelf.” Grace is assistant director of the University Theater’s first play, “Winterset,” scheduled to begin Dec. 2, “maybe.” The new theater building is still unfinished inside. She was born in Sarasota, Fla., but almost immediately began a long series of travels that finally ended in Portland, where she grad uated from Grant High School. Too young at the time to remem ber much of her early travels, she hopes to travel a little more some time, to see what she’s travels, she hopes to travel a little more some time, to see what she’s seen. - BARBARA BUDDENHAGEN Another well-traveled candidate is blonde-haired Barbara Budden hagen. Sixteen schools across the country shared her 'study time through her graduation from high scnooi. sne nas apparently settled down at Oregon, though, for this is her fourth year here. A foreign language major who is apparently more interested in art, Barbara has done free-lance painting in Portland and San Fran cisco. Her present specialty is chil dren’s portraits, done in water colors. Her foreign language interests show up in her participation in the newly-formed foreign movies club, which will bring top foreign-produ ced films to the campus. Despite her many chances for observation, she reports little dif ference between Oregon men and those elsewhere, main difference being that the Oregon men are here. CAROL BARTEL “All those sophomore boys scratching their whiskers” have been bothering Carol Bartel for the past two weeks. A junior in art with an interest in history, the brown-haired candi date for Homecoming Hostess hates trains, likes horses. At home in Redmond, just East of the moun tains, she rides horseback but has so far resisted the call of skiing in the nearby mountains. Carol collects antiques, a hobby begun with remnants of her grand mother’s collection. Two organs are numbered among her posses sessions. She has had her full share of birthday celebrations, but the total amount of presents she has re ceived has probably suffered be cause her birthday is on Christ mas. This makes her full name, Carol Gay Bartel, real tricky.

Band Leader Les Brown Tells Differences Between College, Ballroom Audiences By Lorna Larson and Stan Turnbull Orchestra wives ? “Sometimes they catch us,” said Les Brown Friday afternoon. But usually they stay home, the famous band leader remarked shortly after arriving by plane at the Eugene airport with his band. Brown’s orchestra played Friday night for the Sophomore Whis kerino. SUCCESS EASY “All you have to do to become a hit band is get a record contract and make hit records,” he smiled. “Or, like Francis Craig, you can get a band, make a record like "Near You,” break up the band, and have the song become a hit a year later.” The Whiskerino was Brown’s first college dance date this fall. “I really do like to play college dances,” Brown revealed while re laxing in the back seat of a car enroute to the Eugene Hotel. BIKES COLLEGES He prefers college audiences be cause ‘‘they know more than other crowds and recognize good music when they hear it.” Ballroom dancers like jazz, the orchestra leader commented. “We usually play jazz about every other number, while for college crowds we’ll play three or four jazz num bers an evening.” Brown finds it hard to tell which songs will be hits. “Very seldom my opinion of a good song jibes with that of the public,” he said, "but then if everyone could tell hits, everyone would be writing them. For instance, we had no idea ‘I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm’ would be a hit.” “Sometimes I think a song: is commercial but not good,” Brown explained. “We try to make up for it by good arrangements.” Modern dance music doesn’t oc cupy all his time, however. He dir ected the Denver Symphony Or chestra on one occasion, and this summer he conducted a concert band in Mason City, Iowa. RECORD LIBRARY He explains his interest in clas sics as stemming from years spent at a conservatory in Ithaca, N. Y., where “they didn’t teach jazz.” Brown’s home contains a library of “about 500 symphonies.” Next stop for the orchestra will be the University of Washington campus in Seattle. They’re taking off at 10 a.m. Saturday to “make Seattle in time for the game.” Helen Simpson and Bob Gray were voted Betty Coed and Joe College last night at the Sophomore Whiskerino. Miss Simpson is affiliated with Gamma Phi Beta sorority, and Cray is a member of Sigma Chi. The winners were elected by vote of those attending the dance.

Plane time'is 3:30 p.m. Sound equipment will make the rounds of campus living organiza tions between 2:30 and 3, rally board chairman Art Ross an nounced Friday. “We’re going to try to pick up some men with cars first, and then hit the women’s groups,” Ross ex plained.

Today’s your last chance. By noon today you must either take ’em or drop ’em, reports the registrar's office, referring to classes, of course. If you withdraw from a course after today you will get a “W”, always providing you make a passing grade, of course. If you complete the course, you receive and “A,” “B,” “C,” or “D.” An "F,” or “NP,” are the registrar’s marks of disapproval when you fail or drop the course while failing later in the term.
