The Heat Is On » EXHAUSTED RUNNERS includ- ing Douglas Chandler (354). Mark Hamm (131), and Kimberly Erickson (58) file through the finish chute to turn in their numbers at the end of the Alumni Association Dawg Dash. Monica Lund berg photo ... continued At the rally, there was a take-off of the popular game show “Wheel of Fortune,” where the contestants spelled out “Dawgs” and “Huskies,” and the winner was allowed to destroy a papier-mache Or- egon Duck. There were also performances by the talented Husky Marching Band, speeches, and bantering by the master of ceremonies and his guests, and their spirited ac- tivities. Tony Vcntrclla said after- wards that the rally was ”... just terrific, fun, a good feel- ing!” Howard Hawkins, a reg- ular rally attendee since 1964 summed it up by saying “I think they’re getting better ev- ery year!” After the rally, people came from near and far in great numbers for the annual Home- coming dance. The large and enthusiastic crowd danced to both live and stereo music, eat- ing the food, drinking mock- tails, and watching everyone else. The Homecoming royalty was presented at the dance as well. The game was a predicted slaughter of the Oregon Ducks. The Huskies smashed ’em with a score of 38-3. The crowd went wild.

%T I 1 was the season to be giving, and constant JL reminders of this holiday message decorated the streets. Bell ringers and enter- tainers on University Way awoke the charitable spirit of all passersby. Spare change was dropped generously into collection cans, guitar cases, or the hands of desperate souls. Stores of all kinds were flooded with checks and major credit cards as friends and family members bought gifts in cele- bration of the winter holidays. On campus the activity and decorations were a little more subdued; however, the giving spirit was very much alive as demonstrated by campus re- sponse to The Giving Tree. The Giving Tree is an annual Christmas undertaking to pro- vide gifts for needy children. This philanthropy project started about four years ago, by the radio station KLSY. In 1985. the project was adopted by Lisa Harmcr, chairman of The Giving Tree Committee, and held in conjunction with KLSY that same year. This year the venture was solely organized by The Giving Tree Committee, and proved once again to be a success. This year the 1,400 gifts received were double that of last year. They were given to Childha- ven, a therapeutic daycare for low-income and abused chil- dren; and Neighborhood I louse, an organization provid- ing assistance to Seattle resi- dents living in public housing. Thanks to the dedication of those who worked on the pro- ject, and those who picked up gift requests, these less fortu- nate children were able to ex- perience a little more joy that holiday season. by lava Fleischman A IIAVSKK JIAI.I.
