Viking 1965

christmas Disasters - floods, snow, finals - failed to dampen the holiday season at Portland State. As temperatures and rivers rose, Vikings busied themselves decorating the College Center and painting the nationally publicized Christmas tableaux on the cafeteria win- dows. Although some complained that decorations throughout the college were sparse, glitter- ing trees brightened the cafeteria and north lounge. And, in student activities offices, Pat Oberlander, social-recreation board chair- man, and Allison Love hung evergreen wreaths from every door; Mae Ouchida, academic board chairman, festooned her office walls with greenery in the Christmas tradition. Oregon's rampaging weather didn't stop the successful AWS Christmas party for re- tarded children nor the annual PSC Christ- mas concert. But snow and a Portland radio station hin- dered the annual Sigma Delta Omega Christ- mas formal, "L'hiver Soiree." The station's DJ repeated a rumor that the dance had been cancelled because of the Willamette's watery deluge. It hadn't. A light turnout selected Dotty Nastrom as queen and danced to mu- sic by the Jerry Van Hoomisen orchestra. Kay Robbins, Nancy Reed, Cherie Magarian, and Joan Haggblom completed the court.
