Three minor blazes rouse excited Row
Three slight fires of undetermined origin caused a dozen fire engines from the city department to rush to sorority and fraternity row yesterday.
Chi Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Delta Delta Delta sororities reported small blazes at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 9 p.m. respectively. The Chi Omega fire was said to have started at the fence in the backyard. Six fire trucks rushed to 28th street and stopped the fire from spreading.
The roof of the Zeta Tau Alpha house biased momentarily just after noon, and firemen again appeared to end the excitement. To top off the day, Tri-Delts smelled smoke on the third floor of their house last night and summoned the fire department. Four engines arrived to find only smoke left and no damage done.
Representatives from the local fire department stated that they could give out no information concerning the cause of the fires. When they arrived on the scene, the conflagrations were nearly out.
Sorority women were unable to state facts about the source of the fires. Most of them reported that the blazes were already started and practically out before they arrived on the scene or discovered that the flames were present.
No real damage was sustained from any of the fires, sorority houses reported, but they are still wondering what were the causes of flames, which happened to have occurred on the same day and on the same street.

Eighth Airforce raid wrecks Norway plant
LONDON, Nov. 16. (U.P.)—U. S. Eighth Air Force Flying Fortresses and Liberators bombed southern Norway today in one of the war’s most daring daylight raids, wrecking one of the largest power and electrolysis plants in the world and a mine which supplies the German war machine with most of its molybdenum.
Striking so unexpectedly over Icy mountains that the Germans were unable to throw strong defenses against them, the big American bombers struck the Norsk Hydro works, hidden under a cliff at Rju-kan, 75 miles west erf Oslo, and blasted the biggest of four molybdenum centers in the Knaben area 40 miles east of Stavanger.
Only two bombers were lost from the “large formations” which made the raids, the U.S. army announced. Flying without fighter escort, the bomber gunners bagged six Gfrman planes during the mission which carried them 1350 miles round trip from Britain on the Rjukan assault and 1150 miles on the Knaben raid. It was the heaviest raid ever delivered on Norway, northern outpost of Hitler’s European fortress, and the second of the war by the Americans.
The victories on their sixth mission against the enemy this month boosted the American gunners’ total to 87 against a loss of only 36 heavy bombers.
An American bulletin said both targets were “successfully attacked,” and returning fliers, telling about one of the most damaging strategic assaults of the war on German war industry, said that at Rjukan they set off a “terrific explosion” and caused such damage that “the target was knocked completely from existence.’*
The Riukan assault was the day’s main event and it was made by Fortresses and Liberators. The first Fortress over dropped its five big bombs dead on the target.

•
store, according to Don Ferguson, student chairman of Homecoming activities.
Reservations for the banquet are being taken in the alumni offices, fourth floor of the Student Union, according to Miss E. Bette Donne-gan, acting executive director of the general alumni association.
The dinner will be $1.95 a person, said Miss Donnegan, and orders should be accompanied by either checks or cash. Alumni in military service who are not commissioned officers will be guests at the dinner, but should make reservations through the alumni office anyway, Miss Donnegan pointed out.
Vallee will not only act as master of ceremonies for the occasion, but as director of his coast guard orchestra which will provide the musical entertainment.
Arrangements for the banquet have been made by Ron Stevens. Buzz Ellis, Jimmie Smith, Jack Hogg, Sid Chemiss, and Art Taylor.
Led by Barbara Connelly, coed mascot, and John Kimball, chairman, Owens trainees went over th# top with donations and will be awarded the plaque within the next few weeks by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid at appropriate ceremonies. Miss Connelly will bestow a kiss upon Chairman Kimball and Battalion Commander Ralph Williams at the time of the award.
Runners-up in the servicemen’s drive, according to Chairman Bob Meyer, were Newkirk hall, headed by Fred Benson and Mary Oliver, $1.64 per man; and Henderson hall, Burdette Jordan and Patty Weise, $1.28 per man. Since every barracks went beyond the assigned quota, each will receive honor scrolls from President von KleinSmid.
Other barracks to be awarded an honor scroll include E. von KleinSmid hall, led by Bob Stevens and Mary Blake; Reynolds hall, Rosemarie Trucano and Mickey Heeger; and Williams hall, Jack Root and Helen Taylor.
“Much of the credit of the servicemen’s drive is due to the enthusiasm of the coed mascots,” remarked Chairman Meyer.
The general campus drive will not end until Friday, stated Ryan, and totals of the campaign will be disclosed in Friday’s Trojan. Though exact figures are not available yet. Ryan expects to have a high and favorable report Friday.
SC’s Victory Hut in front of the Administration building will remain open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this week for students and faculty members who have not yet turned in donations.
