MILITARY HOMECOMING
PLANNED THIS QUARTER
NOVEMBER 17 SET FOR ANNUAL
CELEBRATION; CALIFORNIA
GAMES TO BE CHIEF
HEADLINE.
Junior Dance at Armory, a Campus
Luncheon Make Up Other
Main Features.
On November 17th, Oregon’s annual
celebration of Homecoming day will be
held on the campus. Definite plans
as to the events of the day have not
been made as yet, but according to
Registrar A. R. Tiffany, it will be one
of the largest homecoming days ever
held, in that it will be not only for
graduates, but also men who are in
the service in the different camps.
“The events of the day will be some
thing the same as those of other years
with the exception that a military at
mosphere will be introduced,” said
Tiffany. “No plans have been made
as yet, but they will be started within
the next few weeks.”
The headliner of the day will be the
football game with California. Not
ijtuch is known of the relative strength
of the two teams, but it is thought that
the southern university will be well
represented in that many of last year’s
men are back in school.
Besides this event, there will be the
large dance at the Armory, a campus
luncheon at noon, under the auspices
of the Women’s council.
All plans of the day will be under
the control of the junior class as in
former years. Letters will be sent

Withycombe Perhaps Unable to Come
Until Oct. 24—Rabbi Wise May
Also be Speaker.
Annual pledge day for the Univer
sity of Oregon will probably be post
poned from Wednesday, Oct. 17, to
Wednesday, Oct. 24, if Governor With
ycombe finds it impossible to be in
Eugene on the former date. According
to word given out from the president’s
office this morning there is as yet a
possibility of receiving Governor
Withycombe’s acceptance to adminis
ter the oath of allegiance to the state
and the University at Wednesday
morning’s assembly.
“The pledge really should be admin
istered by the governor,” said Karl
Onthank, secretary to President Camp
bell, this morning, “and I feel sure
that unless Governor Withycombe can
be here on the day set for the pledg
ing, we will put it off until the next
assembly day.
Effort is being made to secure as
additional speaker Rabbi Stephen A.
Wise, of Portland, who, according to
Mr. Onthank, is a speaker of almost
international note.
Definite plans for the ceremony will
probably not be announced until Mon
day.
to all grads, as well as the men in the
service, and the greatest possible ef
forts will be made to make it the best
yet.
Committees will be named at the
next meeting of the class.
Pants of 1921 Decorated by
“Order of Painted ‘O' ”
Yellow Emblem on Skinner's Butte
Smeared With Red, but Frosh
Bring Back Yellow Hue.
Eight freshmen were decorated with
the “order of the painted ‘O’ ” Friday
afternoon fillowing their re-tinting with
the lemon yellow of Oregon, the big
block Oregon ftO” on Skinner’s butte.
They were the first of the class of
1921 to be so honored, as it was the
first painting of the “O” this year.
The order that the “O” be painted
came from the junior class Friday
morning as a result of the smearing
of the “O” with red, Wednesday night.
The custom of painting the lemon col
ored “O” with paint that is not yellow,
originated several years ago with vis
itors from outside colleges, but it is
believed that the smears Wednesday
night were the result of small boys
from Eugene who wished to see what
would happen.
Harold Grey and Mike Harris, jun
iors, directed the parade of the eight
selected freshmen through town and
after the painting of the “O,” award
ed the “O’s” to the frosh. The “O’s”
earned by the painting of the “O” are
worn on the eight pairs of frosh pants.
Night football practice has begun
at the University of California, with
the aid of searchlights and a ghost
ball. California plays the University
