HOME-COMING day, according to present plans, will be one of the greatest get-together pageants that the University of Ore gon has ever engineered—even greater than junior week-end. But with these strenuous celebrations there is a necessary evil, and that is the stress and strain of every student in preparing for the event. There must be a great deal of personal sacrifice, but it is necessary for the success of the effort. The campus will be crowded, studies will have to suffer, beds will have to be sur rendered to guests, hungry students will have to serve at first tables and eat the remaining scraps, questions by the thousand will have to be answered, and present joys will have to go unheed ed in the turmoil. But with all this preparation and discomfiture Oregon will reap its benefits. If the venture is a success, the good-will alone will be capitalized throughout the state and the profit to the Uni versity will be enormous. Every visitor will have a good word or thought for Oregon. And good thoughts are the forerunners oi good deeds. 4 But the primary question is to prepare for certain success, and afterwards lay back in solid comfort, musing on the results. Every student is urged to write to alumni friends, to relatives as well as prospective relatives, to sweethearts; and in the writing gently mention, nay, urge, invite, and entreat them all to gather at the University of Oregon on November 20 for the best time of their lives. Seniors! Look at Your Bench. PURE VANDALISM—and if it were not for the restriction of a public statement, we would denounce it in terms not sanction ed by Webster—is the only epithet that we can use to describe the action of the individual or individuals who mutilated the senior memorial bench after the freshmen went on record last week as disfavoring the former mutilation. Obviously the second perpet ration is not the work of freshmen, as an organized body. It looks like the work of individuals of the middle classes. When such an offense degenerates into mere kiddish deviltry, it is high time that something happen. And we recommend that the student council take the matter up, record its disapproval, and proceed to thor ough investigation. And if the party or parties are found we strongly recommend an all-university Mill Race party, and will be glad to help arrange for the refreshments at any such party. However, if the guilty persons are apprehended we do not in any wise favor handling it as they do in the south. Make it an all university affair, and then there is little chance for repetition or anybody involuntarily leaving college. For the acme of ‘ pep” we have to hand it to the students of Pittsburg University, who, tagged as cattle were shipped in a freight car to Philadelphia at $0 per head, for the purpose of seeing their team win or lose on the gridiron. We always knew that Pittsburg, like Milwaukee, was famous for its “pep.” Who says that college women are not capable of voting? The votes-for-women movement received great impetus at the Univer sity of Iowa, when the co-eds decided by a large majority that President Wilson is acting hasty in getting married again. -★ I* CAMPUS NOTES * —.— -* Katherine Bridges spout the week o 11 it at hor homo near Wortland.

FACULTY GET IN GAME Committee Appointed to Con sider Advisability of Having Building For Professors. A committee has been appointed to consider the advisability of hav ing a faculty club on the campus. The members are Professor W. F. G. Thacher, Dr. Orin F. Stafford, and Professor D. W. Morton. The proposed club was to have in cluded the male members of the faculty club. Its headquarters .were to have been in some house near the j campus, where the members could have enjoyed many of the pleasures of regular city club life. However, the members of this committee have not found very considerable enthus iasm over the project among the faculty." “The opinion of the faculty in general is that such a club would not be advisable in this University,” said Professor Thacher, chairman of the committee. “The idea was mere ly to have a place where the men of the faculty could get together. It might even have afforded boarding and sleeping accommodations for the bachelor members. But the , gen eral trend of opinion is, at present, that the faculty men do not want such an organization here.” Professor Stafford said that the clubs of this kind at the University of Washington and at Seattle were highly successful. “They are modeled after the city club, with a billiard room, a dining room, a social room with a fireplace and easy chairs, and even a dormi tory, where the bachelor members may live. The Seattle club is on a small scale. That of Berkeley is a large affair and will accommodate many men. The matter has not been definitely decided upon, nor has the committee given its report before the colloquium, but I have found, after talking with members of the facul ty, that such a club is not wanted.” Classy Shoes Young Men and Women of dis criminating taste at popular prices.
