'Sing' Contests
Started in 1941
In the spring of 1941 the Or
der of the "O" sponsored an in
formal dance known as the
"I>emon Squeeze.-' Extra-special
Intel mission entertainment was
singing competition among three
men's organizations and three
women's organizations which
had survived previous elimina
tions. This was the beginning of
what has become a major event
of Junior Weekend, the All
Campus Sing.
The first “Sing" was such a
success that In 1912 the number
of participants was increased
and it was held in Mac Arthur
Court the last Saturday night in
April.
It was in 1943 that the All
Campus Sing became a Junior!
Weekend event when it was held
on Saturday night in place of the |
canoe fete. The fete had to be
replaced by a float parade
through the streets of Kugene
in the afternoon because of the
war and disrepair of the mill
rare.
First winners of the cups pre
sented by Panhellenic and the
Inter-Fraternity Council in 1941
were Gamma Phi Beta and Delta j
Tau Delta. Winners since that
time have been Alpha Omicron j
