Houses Must Submit Homecoming Plans . To Merton by Noon
Crews of Greek fraternity and sorority houses burned the midnight oil in their forcastles last night in a hurried effort to complete their final plans for Homecoming decorations based on the “Ship Ahoy! Sail on with Troy” theme.
With only five ideas submitted at 3 p.m. yesterday, the crews were issued fair warning that dark weather lay ahead if their plans were not turned in to Bob Merson, chief mate in charge of fratemity contacts, by noon today.
FIVE ON DECK
The five fraternities that were on deck with their ideas are Chi Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Tau, Sigma Nu, and Delta Sigma Pi.
“Although the plans that have been submitted to me arp very good, they have been slow in coming in. Fraternity representatives are urged to contact me at the Delta Sigma Pi house any time before noon today,” Merson said.
DESCRIBES IDEAS
The alumni office is also taking Homecoming themes and plans may be submitted there before the deadline. Lewis Gough, director of the alumni office, said that the ideas have all centered on the nautical theme with the Homecoming slogan as a basis.
“Plans with a ship as the central theme have been submitted, but there are many other features with a sea idea that can be used. Replicas of galley, decks, bridges, and docks will all lend well to this nautical theme,” Gough pointed out.
REPETITIONS MAY OCCUR
Fraternity and sorority houses are warned that preference will be given those ideas submitted first in case of a duplication. Merson added that because so many of the themes are along a nautical idea, repetitions are certain to oc cur.
‘A student committee will decide the best plans, and if they feel that two plans are so similar in effect as to demand a re-entry, the house submitting first will be selected,” Merson said.
DEADLINE SET
With November 27 set as the date for the completion of house decorations, the crews on 28th street are urged by the chairThan to have all decorations up in time for their reunion dinners.
Peggy Price, contact chairman for sororities, said that plans of the various houses were coming in. House decoration plans may be turned in at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.
Social sororities will act as hosts to their alumnae on Friday, December 1. Extensive plans are also underway for the annual women’s Homecoming dinner on the same evening.
“SC students were not involved in the asserted vandalism on the UCLA campus a few nights ago,” Michael MacBan, ASSC president, revealed last night.
“After a talk with the associated student body president of UCLA, it was believed that the work was done by high school students,” MacBan added.
The newly constructed “C,” California symbol overlooking the Westwood campus, was painted red and gold, and a note was left with the scores, “SC-50, UCLA-0” written on it.
MacBan urged that the friendly relations which have existed in the past years between the two schools be adhered to, and that no SC student should be responsible for any acts of vandalism.
