Street Friday, night as Willamette University put on its 33rd annual
homecoming parade, culminating with a giant bonfire at. Bush's
Pasture. ! .
Floats'aplenty, noise and cowering coyotes, symbolizing the Col
lege of Idaho, which Willamette plays today at 2 p.m., rolled down
the street as car horns blared.
I Lausanne and Baxter Halls pic
tured the Idaho college as a dra
gon, complete with horny, green
scales. Pretty girls in bathing suits
prodded the "monster" with pitch
forks, j
Sigma Chi and Pi Phi Epsilon
sponsored a float with a King Nep
tune theme. Men were "painted"
a silver hue and were attired only
in bathing suits, also of a silver
color to blend in with their bodies.
Other floats had a circus theme.
and one of them carried a band
and a line-up of chorus girls doing
the "can-can. complete with the
flying leg movements.
1 As the parade reached Mission
Street and Bush's Pasture, an
avid little group "watched" the
orocession disperse students ' at
the Oregon State School for the

Lorraine Landrud, . Homecoming
Queen, was introduced at the burn
ing of the giant bonfire, in which
Rube Menashe, student body presi
dent, was burned in effigy at the
ton of the stack of rubble.
Students, at least some of them,
feel that Menashe was responsible
for the premature burning of most
of the stack Thursday night The
assembled group kept shouting.
"Burn Menashe! Burn Menashe!
Menashe was not available for
comment '
Following the bonfire, a costume
dance was held in the university's
gymnasium.
A troohy iwQl be awarded for
the outstanding float in the parade

Prizes will also be awarded at
that time for the best signs decor
ating the campus during the past
few days. The signs are sponsor
ed by various fraternities, sorori
ties and living groups on the cam
pus.
Most all of them picture a coy
ote, or coyotes, in different stages
of despair at the hands of a bear
cat, symbol of Willamette Univer
sity. One pictures a goal post with
a coyote s bead hanging from it;
another a bearcat, with a bun-
dozer, wheels moving, mowing
down aicoyote.
One scene, complete with music.

of the Legislature to reach an
agreement resulted in, creation of

Collaborating
Charge Faces
Major Nugent
FT. SILL. Okla. Uh Charges
of collaborating with the enemy
were announced Friday against
Maj. Ambrose H, : Nugent 44, of
Merrill, Wis., by the. Army.
Nugent is a veteran of 33 months
service in Europe during World
War II, 26. months occupation duty
in Germany and was a prisoner of
war from July 5, 1950, to Sept 1,
19d3, in Korea.
The charges were read to him
here at his present station with the
41st Field Artillery Group. Nugent
said he hoped for "a fair trial"
The IS alleged acts, under two
general articles of the " uniform 1
code; of military justice, were said
to have occurred while Nugent was
a prisoner of war in Korea. He was
captured on the first day of Ameri
car action while serving with the
24th Division. I :
Two of the most serious charg
es allege treasonable offenses, the
Army said. He is accused of offer
ing intelligence to the enemy, im
peding escape of fellow prisoners of
war. permitting use of his photo
and signature on surrender leaflets
cluu -luuauuiauuu. -
Nugent arrived here a year ago
after bis release from a Red prison
camp. -. , 1
The charges do not necessarily
mean courts matrial for Nugent,
the Army pointed out The accused
must first be informed of the
charges against' him, then an in
vestigating officer is appointed to
decide whether the charges should
be prosecuted or dropped, f
"I'm glad to have this opportun
ity to get matters 'cleared up once
and for all," Nugent said. .;'
1 "I am not, and have never been,
a Communist, nor sympathetic in
any way with any of their teach
ings or beliefs. I do not feel that
I am guilty of any crime nor that
I transgressed any army regula
tions." , .
