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.
Bach received rotating' cun from the sonbmrmri' rlrwc flnrin.r
Yell King Revives
For 3 p.m. -Rally
Yell King Jim Crismon, just re
leased from the Infirmary after a
severe cold, will lead tomorrow's
welcoming team rally at 3 p.m. at
the Eugene airport.
Crismon will be joined by the
other members of the rally squad,
leading Webfoot rooters in greet
ing the gridmen returning from
Iowa. 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.
Fire Chief to Speak
Eugene Fire Chief E. L. Surfus
will speak to fire, marshals of all
living organizations Tuesday in

address will be announced Tuesday.

far-off Iowa City, Iowa, for an in
tersectional football battle with
the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.
This is the second gridiron meet
ing with a Big-Ten opponent in
Oregon history.
More than 40,000 partisan fans
are expected to see the game in
Iowa Stadium. For local follow

will carry the play-by-play broad
cast, starting at 11:15 a.m.
II O’CLOCKS TODAY
University officials contacted
last night told the Emerald that
11 o'clock classes today have not
been cancelled for the broadcast.
The Iowa Hawkeyes, coached by
Eddie Anderson, have rolled up
three wins and two defeats this
season, and are favored over the
Webfoots. Iowa reached its peak
last Saturday, whipping North
western 28-21. Today’s game will
be the sixth Hawkeye test against
a PCC team.
GOOD SHAPE
Oregon’s 37-man traveling squad
worked out in the stadium Friday
afternoon. The Ducks are in good
physical condition.
The Webfoots will face an Iowa,
offense powered from the Notre
Dame box formation. Fullback
Bill Reichardt and Sophomore Jer
ry Faske, right half, and Ander
son’s top Iowa backfield perform
ers.
SAME BACKFIELD
Glenn Drahn will direct the
Hawkeye aerial attack, throwing to
Ends Jack Dittner and Bob Mc
Kenzie. Drahn has completed 29
passes for 437 yards and five
touchdowns this year.
Aiken is expected to stay witlr
five steady Ducks in the backfield.
Earl Stelle at quarterback, George
Bell at right half, either John Mc
Kay or Woodley Lewis at left
half, and Fullback Bob Sanders
will carry Webfoot offensive hopes.
Aiken worked his team hard for
the game, stressing pass defense
and line play. The Ducks may
bounce back after last Saturday’s
40-13 defeat by USC. After Iowa,
Oregon meets Washington, Calif
ornia and OSC.
The Oregon team will return to
Eugene Sunday by plane, and is
expected to arrive at 3 p.m.
Take 'Em or Drop 'Em—Today
Anyone want to drop that course that you haven’t had time to
open the textbook yet to see what the name is? 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. It’s all
up to you!
