Orphan Party
Plans Formed
Annual Christmas party arrange¬
ments for some 100 orphans from
St. Mary's Home for Boys at Beav¬
erton and Christie Home for Girls
in Oswego are well underway, ac¬
cording to sponsor A1 Richardson,
manager of the Pilot House. Mem¬
bers of the Intercollegiate Knights,
Alpha Kappa Tau and the fresh¬
man class are assisting Richardson
in the party plans this year.
Turkey contest tickets will go on
sale the first of next week to offset
the cost of the party for the or¬
phans. Richardson stated there will
be six turkeys given away this year,
three to be given the night of the
Christmas dance and three to those
not in attendance. Tickets will be
available at the Pilot House.
VANDALS PAINT
MAIN ENTRANCE
BRICKS BLACK
Sunday night fog cloaked another
vandal raid on Portland’s campus
by vigilantes who adorned the main
entrance brickery with black paint
letters spelling out “L C Thanks”
and ”L C Pioneers.”
A sad, gray Monday morning re¬
vealed this fact to Portland students
in the auto line to the main parking
area. To enhance their handiwork,
the vandal artists surrounded the
letters with additional artistic brush
strokes.
Local "crime stoppers” are launch¬
ing an investigation of this latest
act of violence and it is hoped that
apprehension of the paint daubers
Will lead also to recovery, of Port¬
land’s lost victory bell.
Pizzo, Newman, Rooen,
Colbert, Melone Will
Participate at Confab
Portland’s four representatives,
slated to attend the November 10,
11, 12 convention of the Oregon
Federation of Collegiate Leaders in
Salem, were revealed Monday night
at a meeting of the associated stud¬
ent council by President Dick Pizzo.
They are Pizzo, Don Newman, sen¬
iors, and Bill Colbert and Cy Rooen,
juniors. Rudy Melone, senior, OFCL
Bulletin editor, will also attend the
conclave.
Selected in accordance with OFCL
regulations, they include, in order,
the student body president, a stu¬
dent active on campus publications,
a student active in planning social
events, and a junior who will return
to student activities next year.
At the 1948-49 convention, held
last year at Eastern Oregon College
of education in La Grande, it was
decided to hold the annual conven¬
tion as early in the school year as
possible in order to take advantage
of the knowledge acquired during
the gathering.
In all, four representatives from
each of 13 Oregon colleges will at¬
tend the three day session of the
group which has for its purpose the
unification of interests among col¬
lege students throughout the state.
Kev Collins, OFCL president, will
be unable to chairman the gather¬
ing as he is still recovering slowly
from injuries sustained four weeks
ago in an auto crash. Art Johnson,
University of Oregon OFCL vice
president, will wield the gavel in
his place.
According to notice received from
Russ Tripp, OFCL secretary, at host
school Willamette, representatives
will register during the Thursday
afternoon session.

READY SOON
By JOHN HART
Beacon Staff Writer
Portland’s amateur dramatists,
under the direction of William
Stites, speech and drama instructor,
will present “The Front Page” in
a three-day run, November 11, 12
and 13, on campus. It will be the
first of three productions to be
staged during the 1949-50 season.
The play, written by the noted
team of Ben Hecht and Charles
MacArthur, is a lively, fast-moving,
three-act comedy, dealing with
hard-boiled exponents of yellow
journalism and crooked politicians
and enjoyed a lengthy run on
Broadway some years ago. The set¬
ting is the news room of the Cook
County jail during the fabulous era
variously termed the “Jazz Age"
and the “Roaring Twenties” when
"bathtub gin,” "shimmy" and "flap¬
per” were bywords among the pop¬
ulace.
The plot centers about Hildy
Johnson, a reporter who is attempt¬
ing to marry and make a clean
break with the newspaper business
after 15 years. His unscrupulous
editor, Walter Bums, employs every
possible device to retain the ser¬
vices of his ace newsgatherer. Hildy
is portrayed by Dick Fair, senior,
and Larry Johnson, junior, has the
role of Burns.
Comedy is provided in the rapid
dialogue exchanges between re¬
porters from rival newspapers; the
grafting mayor of Chicago; the
equally dishonest, but not so Intel¬
ligent sheriff of Cook county, Peter
B. Hartman; Woodenshoes Eichorn,
moron police officer; Diamond
Louie, a cheap mobster; Irving Pin-
cus, messenger from the governor’s
office, and Earl Williams, a de¬
mented radical scheduled to hang
for murder as the scapegoat In the
mayor’s and sheriff’s plans for re-
election.
