MIX WILL BE OCT. 10TH
On the Field of the Whitman-Oregon
Battle Frosh and Sophs
to Match Valor
The Underclass Mix, under the con
trol of the Junior class, has this year
been set for .the 10th of October, the
day of the Whitman game. The Jun
ior committee wishes to announce
that the events this year will be en
larged upon and that more originality
will be shown than in previous years.
It will be impossible to stage the
tug of war contest over the old duck
pond, because this sanitary crime has
been obliterated. The Juniors, how
ever, will make every effort to find
an equally attractive place along the
mill race in order that this feature
may not be dropped from the pro
gram. If possible, a push ball will
be procured either at Seattle or Port
land, and this contest will be as in
1912.
The announcements and program
will not be made public until a few
days before the contest, giving neither
side long to prepare. As the Fresh
man class this year is amply supplied
with men of a heavy type it is ex
pected that they will make a very
good showing where strength is re
quired.
The Junior committeemen having the
Underclass Mix in charge are Merlin
Batley, chairman, Fred Dunbar, Bill
Burgard, Claude Hampton, Gavin Dy
ott, Walter Church, Bothwell Avison,
Ray Gorman, Grant Shaffner and Wal
lace Eakin.

ASSOCIATION IS HOST TO 300
UNIVERSITY MEN
Sports, Cider and Talk Occupy Sev
eral Hours of Wild
Revelry
By L. E. T.
Doughnuts, cider, speeches, “hot
hand,” pillow and cock fights combined
to make the annual “stag mix” in Vil
lard Hall last evening the “best ever.”
Approximately 300 men, including be
sides undergraduates several faculty
members and alumni, were there and
the entire evening was one of pleasant
entertainment and good fellowship.
Speeches by well known students
and faculty members took up the
greater part of the evening. The first
speaker introduced by Student Body
President Tom Boylen was Johnnie
Parsons, captain of this year’s football
team. Parsons, in a short, snappy
talk, urged the Freshmen to get out
for football, saying that the vacancies
caused by the graduation of old men,
offered splendid opportunities for in
coming students to make the team
He said that the prospects for a suc
cessful season were encouraging.
The next speaker, Bert Lombard
President of the Y. M. C. A., made ar
appeal to the students for their sup
port in the Association’s work during
the coming year. “Bill” Hayward, Or
egon’s trach mentor for years, an
nounced that “all indications poini
toward a most successful track sea
son,” and that “ all of last year’s mer
except one will be out for places or
the 1915 squad.
Fred Hardesty, member of the 19D
champion debating team, made an ur
gent appeal to Freshmen, asking then
to take an active interest in oratory
and debate.
President Boylen next presentee
President Campbell, who, in a shor
address of welcome, reminded the stu
dents of their obligation toward thi
University and state, and predictee
the coming year to be a record break
er.
Following President Campbell, Mar
tin Nelson, President of the 1917 clasi
last year, asked the old and the in
coming students to become member
of the Y. M. C. A. Nelson was fol
lowed by Doctor R. C. Bennett, for
merly of Yale, but now an instructo:
in the University Law Department
Doctor Bennett complimented the stu
dents upon the manifest spirit of dem
ocracy that prevails at Oregon.
Coach, Bezdek, the Napoleon o:
Northwest collegiate athletics, an
nounced that he was favorably im
pressed with the season’s football out
look, and urged the united support o:
Oregon students.
The anual cock fight, a regular fea
ture of “stag mixes,” was won tn
John Beckett, who won the same even
last year. Sixten men entered th«
preliminaries, and through a series o
elimination contests the finals wen
betwen Beckett and Clifford Mitchell
a Freshman. Beckett annexed twi
out of three matches, winning the sil
ver cup that is annually awarder th<
winner in this event. The cup be
comes Beckett’s permanent possessioi
in view of the fact that he has woi
it two years in succession.
The pie-eating contest was won b;

Portland, in the recordbreaking tim<
of four minutes. George Winship, o:

Four Houses Undergo Repairs During
Summer—Sigma Nu Makes
Extensive Changes
Repairs and improvements totaling
$5,000 were made on various local fra
ternity houses during the past sum
mer.
The Sigma Nu house, under the di- *
rection of Ormond Bean, '09, has been
almost entirely remodeled and refur
nished in the interior. The partitions
of three of the old lower floor rooms
have been removed, making a living
room 34x28 feet. This room, as are
all those on the lower floor, is finished
in white enamel and furnished with
a new and pleasing design of tapestry
furniture. At one side of this room
a large fireplace has been constructed.
The old den and a bed room have been
changed into a smoking room 15x30
feet. Another new fireplace has also
been placed here. The kitchen and
pantry have been enlarged to accom
modate the large appetites that are
expected.
Above the kitchen a sleping porch
to accommodate 20 men has been fur
nished. On the opposite side of this
addition is a smaller sleping porch to
accommodate six Varsity men.
New plumbing and baths have been
installed on each floor. The dining
room is perhaps the most attractive
in the house. Here the motif is white
and gray, white enamel wood work
with gray paper, chairs and table. The
improvements are completed by the
laying of over 1,400 square feet of
hard-wood floor, the installation of a
semi-indirect system of lighting and
: the repainting of the entire exterior.
Sigma Chi has also effected several
1 improvements. Having been troubled
by the Delta Gamas gazing into their
kithcen, they have constructed a lat
1 tice work for the protection of this
' room. The interior of the house has
been entirely renovated, the walls re
! tinted and the wood work revarnished.
^ The stucco work on the exterior has
' been repainted.
Phi Gamma Delta is also expecting
large appetites, as they have enlarged
' their dining room and kitchen. On the
second boor a new sleeping porch and
’ bath have ben constructed. Another
feature of note is the miror-like sur
’ face put on the floors by Ben Doris.
The Kappa Sigma house has under
■ gone extensive interior renovation and
the exterior has been repainted.
