101 RESORTS APPEAL TO OREGON STUDENTS “OBAK” WALACE AND JAY Me CORMICK OPEN MODERN PLACES College Cue Artists to Have Ample Means for Pursuing Pastime— Bowling Is Featured University men who wish to drive dull care away will find no lack of fa cilities in the future, due to the enter prise of two well known monarchs of the local amusement world, Jay Mc Cormick and W. R. (Obak) Wallace. During the past summer each of these men opened one of the best appointed and most up-to-date billiard, bowling and refreshment establishments on the Coast. Early last spring “Obak" announced his intention of moving into new quar ters, and accordingly he leased the building he now occupies, located at the south side of 9th Avenue, just half a block off Willamette street. The space occupied is 160x40 feet. En tering by the right entrance, which also happens to be through the right hand door, the tired college student finds himself surrounded by allure ments. On one side is an up-to-date iceless soda fountain of Alaskan mar ble, and on the other are displayed those tempting delicacies which must never be tasted upon the campus— from Bull Durham to Lady Milos. To the left of this room is the larg. er toall devoted to the art of bowl ing. There are three modern alleys and enough seats to accommodate the spectators. The bowling room and tobacco and confectionery room are finished throughout in solid mahog any. In the rear of the agar and bowl ing room is located the billiard room. It contains four Alexander tables, and plenty of comfortable opera chairs and promenade space for the players. In the rear of this first room is the larger one devoted to pool and con taining six pocket billiard tables of the same style as the others. The billiard and pool rooms are finished throughout in Circassian walnut. “Obak” says he will make a special ty of serving his patrons with the latest sporting "dope.” Two large blackboards have already been in stalled, where posters, clippings and pictures of the latest happenings in sportdom are displayed. Reports of games of interest to University fans will be received over special wire. At “Obak’s" old stand at 814 Wil lamette street, Jay McCormick has made equally elaborate preparations to welcome the thirsters for knowl edge and other soft drinks, The space formerly occupied by "Obak” has been doubled, and the interior greatly al tered. The cigar store has been re modeled and restocked. In the rear of the cigar store is the billiard and pool hall, in which Oregon men have come to feel so much at home in n?cent years. It is the largest in the city, containing eleven pocket billiard ta bles and four billiard tables. it is in the annex to tne soutn ox the old establishment, however, that Jay has made the greatest changes. The front porton is occupied by a handsome confectionery and ice cream parlor. There is a modern fountain, one of the features of which is a large mirror. The booths in the ice cream parlor are of heavy mahogany; in fact, the entire interior is finished in mahogany. Still farther back is the bowling room, containing four of the best al leys which could be constructed, and finished by an expert decorator. One of the features of the place is the bal cony overlookng both bowling room and ice cream parlor. From this van tage point the spectator may witness the bowling contests, or, wearying of this, he may turn and watch the col lege “piggers” in action in the booths below. The “Rainbow,” as McCormick’s es tablishment is known, occupies about 160x80 feet. The management will make every effort to please their col lege patrons and will have the scores of all the big games on tap. • Table Board at Men’s Dormi • tory may be had at $8.76 per • week. Dining room is now open. DEBATERS MEETMONDAY Aim is to Get Debates With Two More Colleges—Forensics - Controlled by Council By Milton A. Stoddard. A meeting of all students interest ed in debate and oratory will be held next Tuesday at 4 P. 'M., in Mr. Pres cott’s room in Villard Hall.

Editor Maurice Hyde, in announc. ing his plans for the Annual, said, “This year the book will mark a de parture from previous publications, in that more emphasis will be laid on the feature department. The arrange ment of the rest of the books is fairly well establshed, and offers but little opportunity for originality, so that we will put most of our attention on the features. The staff has been cho sen and actual work n collecting ma terial has commenced. We want to get a running start so that the print ers will get their copy early enough to have the books finished on sched ule time.” Regular meetings of the staff will be held every two weeks* the next meeting to be at the Kappa Alpha Theta house, Wednesday evening, Oc tober 7, at 7:00 o’clock. It is planned to make the meetings social affairs as well as for the transaction of bus iness, the belief being that this will create additional interest in the work. Business Manager William P. Holt, who recently returned from the Siu slaw country, where he has been dur ing the summer, has already begun work on the financial end of the book. He has outlined a comprehensive cam paign for advertising and subscrip tions, and has begun negotiations for printing and engraving. Alumni subscribers who fail to get any copies of The Emerald will confer a favor by notifying the manager. We are anxious that no one miss any paper. Frames Pictures SMITH’S FRAME SHOP J. A.
