PARENTS TB 6ET DOPE ffl WILLIES DOINGS Faculty Inaugurates Prep School Sys tem of Reports to Keep Tab On Underclassmen Parents of underclassmen will here after be notified of the absence of their prodigies. Dean Straub expects, at the end of this semester, to send to the parents of each Freshman and each Sopho more, a card showing the number of absences made by the student for that semester. No comment will be made except for an explanation of the rule regarding the loss of one-sixteenth of a credit for each cut. A list of names will be obtained from the instructors of students who are likely to fail at the end of the first semester. A letter will be sent to the parents during the Christmas vacation advis ing them to keep their offspring home! until the second semester opens. The advantage of this will be that stu dents will be permitted to start in again at the beginning of the second semester. Otherwise a student not making eight hours “flunks out” and can never re-enter this University. Harvard University opened its 279th year with an enrollment of ,5,000. The class of 1918 will number 700 stu dent*. 1 1 ^ 1 So few underclassmen have shown interest in the customary Freshman Sophomore scrap at the University of Michigan, that it is probable that there will be no interclass fight this year. The women of Ohio State Universi ty signed a “Declaration of Indepen dence,” stating that they refuse to be “queened” at football games. Here after they will bunch together in a woman’s section of the bleachers and root. One hundred and thirty prisoners in the federal penitentiary at Leaven worth and the state penitentiary at Lansing are doing correspondence work wih the Kansas State Agricul tural College. The Editorial Department of the “Oregana” wish that all Seniors, Jun iors, members of fraternities, sorori ties and Oregon Club, have their pic tures taken at the earliest possible date, ordering one “solio” print for each time the picture is to appear. In the football games this fal] the Princeton players will be numbered. Large figures will be sewed on the backes of the jerseys to enable the spectators to distinguish the players by referring to the lists which will bs given them. Lyle Steiwer, Preseident of the Wo men’s League, said today that a pe tetion had been granted to hold a Women’s League Mix on Friday, De cember 4, but that th!)s date will probably have to be changed, owing to the fact that numerous other affairs are scheduled for the same night. Phi Delta Theta entertained infor mally at dancing on Friday evening. Leslie Tooze was a luncheon guest at the Iota Chi house Wednesday. The members of Kappa Alpha The ta having birthdays in November en tertained informally at a birthday party Friday evening. A new sorority has come into exis tence. It is the International Associ ation of Dames, and has chapters at Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, Illinois, Kansas, Yale and Cornell. Members must be wives of University profes s irs. After a motion to do away with th# office of high school editor, th* secretary of the Kansas Hoard of Pub lication, at a recent meeting, had to change his vote to “no,” although •v%ryono else voted “yes,” to escap* the embarrassing task of calling on •omeono to sjm?11 “unanimously" for him. I he Stanford University Freshmen In charge of piling up the anual bon fire have devised an efficient method of getting their classmates to put in a fair share of work on the structure. Each first year man will he given a ticket and will be credited for the number of hours' work by punches on tho card. l.N TO BOOST FOR HORIESII EUGENE Koyl Sees Economic Outlet for Stu dent Labor in Urban Industries More factories for Eugene is the slogan of a campaign to be waged by the University Y. M. C. A., under the leadership of Charles Koyl, the devel opment of the University depends on urban industries that will supply work to students wishing to work their way through college. Koyl says that he knows 100 young men who would gladly come to the University if they knew they could have been assured of work to pay their colleges expenses. This year there were 98 applicants for work at the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau, and work could be found for only 44. Many of these 44 have been unable to to secure regular employment, and it is quite possible that scarcity of work will force some of them to re turn home before the semester is over. A young man at Grants Pass said to an alumnus there: “I notice that the graduates of the University of Or egon are always proud of their school. They are so much more enthusiastic than the alumni of other institutions that I suppose they must have more to be proud of.” Dr. W. Claude Adams, ex-’05, who attended the Varsity in 1900-01, and later took his degree of D. D. S. at the University of Denver, is now pres ident of the Portland District Dental Society, and is active in pushing the campaign against the proposed den tistry bill. Dr. Chester A. Downs, ’10, who was graduated from the Medical School at Johns Hopkins last spring, has just taken up work in the Hartford Hos pital, Hartford, Conn., where he will be engaged for the next t\fro years. Dr. Downs was called to the coast this summer by the illness of his mother, who died at her home in Port land early in September. Martin Hawkins, LL. Bt, ’13, now practicing law in Portland, was ap pointed municipal defender by Judge Stevenson, to act for the week of Oc tober 6. Table Board at Men’s Dormi- * tory may be had at $3.75 per * week.

MINNA GOMBEL IN “A PAIR OF SIXES” “A Pair of Sixes,” from all ac counts the merriest parcel of hilar ity that New \ ork has known in many seasons, is on its way to the Eugene Theatre, where it is sched uled to bo disclosed on Wednesday, November 11th. "A Pair of Sixes” does not depend entirely upon its worth as a farce to “pet over.” The interpreting: company is as admira ble as the medium. It contains among others, Herbert Sorthell, Oscar Fig man, Orlando Daly, Josie Intropidi, Minna Gombel, Bernice Buck, Eleanor Fairbanks, Jack Raffael and Richard Earle. Prices 50, 75, $1.00, $1.50. . Have the Emerald sent home. Although there is no general alum ni association at Yale, there is an alumni registrar, who is paid by the University, and an alumni paper, pub lished by a corporation of graduates. The paper is self supporting. “My supplication is as the bald headed man’s prayer: Oh, Lord, send down the back numbers.”—E. N. Blythe, '02. The manager will attend to Mr. Blythe’s request, except for those numbers which are out of print. Bessie Anderson, of the class of 1914, did not quite complete her work at the University last spring. She is now working in San Francisco, but will re-enter college at midyear and take her degree with the class of 1915. *********** * SAVOY THEATRE • * Ten Cents * * Saturday Special * * “The Waif,” a big six-reel elec- o * trie feature.
