SOPHOMORE CLASS HOUR
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Plans for the coining class hour were
completed by the committee in charge
and brought before the Sophomore class
this afternoon. I hey were adopted with
few changes.
Assembly hour next Wednesday is
the time set. \t that time the sophomore
class will entertain the student laxly
with songs, speeches, and other num
bers by representative members. It is
not probable that the entire hour will
be occupied by the Sophomore class and
the latter part of the hour may be
turned into a rally of the student body
to arouse enthusiasm over the coming
game between the football teams of the
Oregon University and the O. A. C.
Songs will be sufig by the students,
selections will be given by the Glee club
and speeches by a number of the promi
nent members of the student body will
be given, while a whole-souled rehearsal
ol the college yells will give everyone
a chance to manifest the workings of
the "Oregon Spirit" in vocal utterance.

WORDING FOR DEBATE
QUESTION IS DECIDEE
Washington’s wording for the Inter
tale delate was given first place by the
University of Idaho and thus made the
choice of the league. It is, “Resolved
I hat all corporations engaged in Inter
state Commerce should be required tc
take out a federal charter.
Concessions:
1. Such legislation is constitutional.
2. A federal license shall not be
available as an alternative solution.”
While the form of Oregon’s wording
was slightly different from this, it con
tained exactly the same ideas. In fact
the most important item, that referring
to federal license, was first suggested b>
Oregon and its incorporation in the
question is very probably due to the
shrewd examination and lucid under
standing of the most minute details b>
Coach Buchen. Coach Uulme of lelahc
neglected the point entirely in submit
ting his wording and then showed his
respect for it by voting fern Washing
ton’s wording. Washington submitted
her wording after the others were in
and so could profit by the suggestions in
them. This she evidently did and the
point might have been overlooked had
not Oregon’s coach detected it.
Had the provision been left out it
would have placed the affirmative at a
serious disadvantage. 'They would have
been compelled to prepare a strong con
structive argument against the present
form of state incorporation and also a
rebuttal case against a system of federal
license. Coach Buchen believes that no
other "jokers” can he found in the
question.
Dr. Leonard or. Playing the Game
In order that there may lie no con
Hiet helween the Men’s Meeting in
Dearly i lull, Friday, and the football
rally which is to he held on the same
night, it has been arranged that the
meeting will begin promptly at seven
and will he dismissed at seven forty
live sharp. From the meeting every
man is expected to go directly to the
Dormitory where the students are to he
assembled for the rally.
The program for the meeting will be
admirably lilted for a leader to the rally
itself. Dr. Leonard has agreed to give
an address on “Football, or Playing the
(lame" after which the meeting will be
turned over to the football men of the
I'niversitv, who will give a number of
short talks. Dr. Leonard is enough of
a football enthusiast that those who at
tend the meeting may be assured of a
strong and interesting address. Special
musical features have been secured and
the singing of college songs, which has
proven quite a popular feature of these
meetings, will be a portion of the en
tertainment.

LARGEST STADIUM ON
COAST FOR U. OF W.
University of Washington, Nov. 2—
A huge athletic field, the largest on the
coast, is to he built at the University
of Washington this year. It will be
located about where the Stadium now
stands and will extend down to Lake
Washington. The dirt excavated from
the government canal between the lake
and Puget Sound, begun last Thursday,
will be used in constructing the new
field.
Last Friday afternoon the underclass
men met in their annual class scrap,
'flic contest was of a new variety. A
flag was placed in a hox which was
buried, and the sophomores were re
quired to defend the grave from spolia
tion by the freshmen. The sophomores
won yesterday’s contest. It is not like
ly that the contest will take this form
another year, for the defenders have,
the advantage. In yesterday’s battle
the freshmen drove the sophs from the
grave but were mnablc to resurrect the
hox in the allotted time.
Decide Fate of Theses
The question of making the senior
these optional instead of required as
heretofore in the various departments
of the University of Oregon, will be
discussed at the meeting of the faculty
tomorrow. A committee consisting of
Professors Sweetser, Young, and Mc
Allister has been appointed to consider
the matter, and their report will be
submitted for the consideration of the
faculty at that time. Whatever the de
cision may be, it will not go into active
effect during the present year, and
those of the class of 'll will be the first
to come under the provisions of any
new ruling that may be made in the
matter.
The recommendation of the committee
is moderate. They do not advise total
abolition of theses but only a few
changes that they believe will make the
work of more use to the students.
Annual Wants Artists
Fritz Dean, who has charge of the
art department of the Junior Annual,
has announced that he wants all artists
in the University to see him immediate
ly. lie intends to get things started at
once and nothing but first class ma
terial will be accepted.
“The Annual,” says he, “furnishes the
best opportunity in the university for
artists to show their talent. We intend
that it shall he a merited distinction for
anyone to get his work in this year’s
hook.”

l he football squad at California will
live together in the chapter house of
the Phi Delta Theta fraternity until
their big game is played on Novem

the generous Phi Delta Theta men in
turning their home over to the football
squad was made possible by the other
fraternities, who are making the Phi
Delta Thetas their guests while their
house is occupied. The coaches expect
many good results to come from this
.arrangement for their men.
