i JUNIORS IAN DANCE MER TENTH TO BE IN HONOR OF ALUMNI r I Committee at Work Plans to Give Everyone a Good Time | Plans are being formulated for a dance to be given by the Junior class, in the Mien’s Gym, October 10, in honor of the first annual Alumni ^ Homecoming. As yet the plans are rather indefi nite. However, the committee chair man, Earl Bronough, and his assist ants, Charlie Fenton and Margaret Belat, are rapidly perfecting plans. iTha alumni are to be admitted free, but a small admission fee will be asked of members of the student body. All students are cordially in vited to attend and meet ttye old grade. A good time is promised. NEW HEATING PLANT BEING INSTALLED ON CAMPUS Work has commenced on the exten sions and repairs of the University r heating plant. A huge ditch is being dug from the Engineering building to 13th street, and this will contain the conduit, which is the feature of the work. This conduit is to be of concrete, replacing the old one of iron pipe and belt coverings. From the conduit, laterals will run to the Men’s Gym, the President’s Residence, Mary Spiller Hall and the new Administra tion Building. The present system of laterals which now furnishes heat to the McClure building and the Wo men’s Gym, will be replaced, and a new system of pipes for heating Dea dy Hall is also included in the con tract. No disturbance will be no ticed when in about hinety days the new heating plant will be connected up. Another boiler will be added to the present battery, making a total Of four boilers in use. __ , , LIBRARY ADDS NEW BOOKS; ANNEX READY THANKSGIVING An average of almost twelve new books for each day has been added to the library during the summer va cation. To be exact, 1,191 new books have been acquired since June 12. This makes a total of 50,584 books now in the University library. The money available for new books in 1914 was but $5,000, or half the usual amount. It has practically all been used. “The 1915 appropriation for books has not yet been definitely decided,” said Mr. Douglass “It will probably reach 310,000, and we are hoping that it will be 315,000.” The metal stacks for use in the an ^ nex have come. The man who is lo put them in is here, and will begin work as soon as the building contract ors can make way for him. “When the annex is completed,” Mr. Douglass says, “all the books except reference works will be moved into it. Perhaps one or two stacks will be left for magazines. Tables will be placed where the book shelves now are, thus enlarging the badly crowded reading room. The new basement will be used as rooms in which to store public doc uments and newspaper files.” Mr. Douglass said that he thought the annex would be ready to move into by Thanksgiving, for the walls are up, the roof is almost finished, and work can now go on regardless of rainy weather. B. B. B. SOCIETIES ORGANIZED BY SOPHOMORE CO-EDS The B. B. B. Sphomore girls’ soci ety held a meeting Thursday evening in the library for the purpose of or ganization. The officers f the club have nt yet been elected. The object of this society is to take the place of “Triple A” among he Sophomore girls and to promote good fellowship. The next meeting will be held on October 7. Owen Whallon will return to school Monday. He has been workihg in Nampa, Idaho, during the summfer.

JUNIORS WMOUNGE PUN Genevieve Shaver Ejected Secretary to Replace Clara Heissler—Prof. Allen is Class Advisor Genevieve Shaver, of Portland, was unanimously elected secretary of the Junior "class at the first meeting »f the year, in Dr. Straub’s room, Vil lard, yesterday afternoon. Miss Sha ver was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of Clara Heiss ler, elected at the regular class elec tion last May, to return to college. Miss Shaver has, during her two years at Oregon, taken an active interest in class enterprises, and is secretary of the Women’s Pan-Hellenic Asso ciation. She'’is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and a graduate of Jefferson High School, Portland. Professor Eric W; Allen, of the De partment of Journalism, was chosen class advisor by a unanimous vote, to succeed Professor E. E. DeCou, who was unable to act in this capacity this year because of pressure of other work. A class tax of two dollars was lev ied at the meeting. The treasurer, Charles Collier, announced that the class debt, contracted during the Freshman year, was nearly cleared up, and that, unless unforeseen cir cumstances ocurred, the treasury would have have a favorable balance at the end of the year. The under class mix was discussed by Merlin Batley, chairman of the committee in cnarge ox arrangements. rsauey urged all members of the class to take an active part in making the affair a success and hinted at several novel features. Maurice Hyde, editor of the 1916 Oregana, announced his plans for this year’s annual. He said that the book would be reduced in size as compared with previous publications, and that the reduction in the number of pages would be offset by the quality of the printed matter. He made an appeal to the class to get behind tile book by giving it their active support. Wilildm P. Holt, business manager of the Oregana, announced his plans for financing the book. Holt said in part: “This year’s Oregand is con fronted by many financial obstacles, tend to put out a book that will be a but in spite of these difficulties we in credit to thd class and University. The present war in Europe has raised the price of printing and binding ma terials, which will materially advance the host of the book. A thorough campaign for subscriptions will be caried on among the students and alumni. The price of the book will be the same as last year, as well as the conditions of payment.” President Prentiss Brown outlined his policy for the year and said that the annual Junior informal dance in honor of the underclasses would be given October 10, following the un derclass mix.
