'Melody Magic' Theme
For Junior Weekend
“Melody Magic,” this year's theme, will set the tone for Jun
ior Weekend, May 12 to 14, which coincides with Mothers’ Week
end and will provide many colorful events for visiting mothers’
entertainment.
The All-Campus Sing Friday night will see coronation of the
Junior Weekend Queen, who with her court of four princesses
will “reign” over the weekend’s festivities. The Sine is a musical
competition between campus living
organizations and will feature 10
men’s and 10 women’s organiza
tions in a variety of songs.
The Queen has been selected by
student vote, but has not been an
nounced as yet. She will be one
of the court of five which consists
of Mary Lou Bittman of Portland,
Carson Hall; Nancy Chamberlain
of Portland, Kappa Alpha Theta;
Gloria Grimson of Forest Grove,
Alpha Chi Omega; Patricia Lakin
of Portland, Pi Beta Phi; and Lu
cille Wright of Sacramento, Calif.,
Sigma Kappa.
Parade Due Saturday
Saturday afternoon a parade of
23 floats will wind through Eu
gene streets and pass Gerlinger
Hall where mothers attending a
business meeting will be able to
view the procession.
Men's and women’s living or
ganizations have been paired for
the parade, and will construct
their floats to represent song ti
tles, in keeping with the week
end’s “Melody Magic” Theme.
Probably the high point of the
Weekend each year is the Junior
Prom. This year the prom will
feature the music of Charlie Bar
nett and his orchestra in McArthur
Court. Numerous awards are
made annually at prom intermis
sion, including presentation of the
Koyl and Gerlinger cups to the
man and woman student named
the most outstanding in the Ju
nior class.
Another traditional feature of
the Weekend is the All-Campus
Picnic, which will be Saturday
noon on the old campus, and will
include free food and tapping by
cantpus honoraries.

*- discussed at an open meeting of
the Democracy Forum 4 p.m. to

A Letter To Mom
Welcome to Oregon, Mom !
Speaking- for all of the students, I'd like to let you know that
we're looking forward to having you down here on the University
of Oregon campus Mothers' Weekend.
If this is your first visit to the campus you'll have an oppor
tunity to become acquainted with all the people and places that
we've been writing home about—the old campus, the “libe,” the
Millrace, the Side, our favorite professor, and our roommates.
If you are already familiar with Oregon, you'll be surprised at
all the changes that have taken place since your last visit. The
magnificent Student Union, almost completed, the University
1 heater, and ultra-modern Carson Hall are prominent among
new buildings recently constructed.
You will be our guest of honor at the many Junior Weekend
festiv ities the float parade, the All-Campus Sing, and the Prom
as well as those events planned especially for you.
In the busy whirl of campus life we often become so caught up
in the many activities, curricular and extra-curricular, that we
are afraid sometimes you may feel neglected. We want to take
this opportunity to show you our appreciation for the many,
many things you do for us. In addition, we hope to give you an
insight into college life.
Phe campus will be yours for the weekend. We hope you will
feel yourself a part of it. We want you to meet our friends, to see
our university, and we want to show you off to the campus. But
i\e aie looking forward, most of all, to seeing you—soon—at
Oregon.
Sincerely,
Donna Buse
Chairman of Mothers' Weekend
Manager Denies
Co-op Will Move
It seems there are some old ru
mors coming to life again. The la
test is a revival of the rumor that
the University Co-op Store is to
move in the near future.
Manager G. L. Henson said Wed
nesday that the Co-op has no in
tention of moving, now or later.
The rumor began, he explained,
about 18 months ago when the Co
op Board was approached with a
plan for moving a portion of their
stock to a large room in the new
Erb Memorial Student Union
building.
Hensen stated that the board de
cided against such a move as it
would mean a doubling-up of
stock in certain departments and
would create a transportation
problem between the two units.

Clothing Drive
An extensive clothing drive, cov
ering Eugene and the University
campus, began Wednesday for col
lection of new or used clothing for
needy persons in Europe.
Shirts, suits, sweaters, shoes, or
any articles in sturdy condition are
being solicited on the campus by
the YWCA and YMCA, who are
working with the American
Friends Service Committee.
Boxes have been placed in all
campus living organizations, the
YWCA, and the YMCA, and the
central Y, 1075 Willamette. Eu
gene townspeople may contribute
at the downtown post.
Woolen garments are preferred
by the AFSC but all contributions
will be accepted. Money contribu
tions will also be accepted, accord
ing to Marian Briner, drive chair
man.
Over 600 pounds of clothing and
goods were collected for needy per
sons in Europe and Asia last year,
as well as $50 in cash contribu
tions, Miss Briner said.
Also needed are yard goods,
knitting wool, shoes, hats, quilts,
blankets, towels, sanitary articles,
and sewing materials.
In Germany there are 12 million
refugees, half a million of whom
are lacking the benefits of the AF
SC shipments, according to the
committee.
In Japan, the textile ration has
been cut to half a pound per per
son per year, leaving thousands of
people, who lack shelter, without
warm garments for protection.
