FR'OSH ENJOY HONORABLE '"POSTS AS PORTER’S AIDES Men in Good Spirits and Con dition for Grand Fight Today. Oregon students, in order to show the football team that they are behind them for the big game, are sending telegrams south today and last night. A majority of the organizations on the campus as well as many individuals have sent the Oregon warriors word. The longest mes sage in the bunch was the one sent by Company “B,” which contained 102 words. Company A is also snowing ns spirit by sending the team a message full of the old fight. lieutenant C. G. AViilis is leading the Company “A” bunch in their support of the Oregon team. The naval unit also sent a message south this morning, giving their two represen tatives a shot pt pep before the game. The team is a long way from home and Is playing on a strange field without a rooting section. Men Enjoy Time. The Oregon team had a good time on their way south. Those of the bunch who were fortunate enough to be Soph omores or upper classmen had every thing arranged so that the Freshme# would have no chance to he idle during the journey. One of the honorable po sitions given to the Frosh was that of cleaning and shining shoes. They were even required to perform this service for the porter. A gentle persuader, in the. shape of an inch board with a smooth surface, was taken on the trip in case any of the Frosh forgot to do any of his duties. The team seemed to be in good spir its; ttio men are in good condition and should put up one grand fight this af ternoon. Old Men Back. Going back slightly into the past, there are several old Oregon football men who are in our neighborhood this week-end. On the Marine team, which plays in Portland today, are "Pill'’ Steers, who was probably the individual star of the Oregon team of 1017, and Jake Itisley. center on Oregon's team of 101G. An other ex-Oregon line man who is hang ing his hat in Eugene this week is “Brick” Leslie. Leslie looks like a mil lion dollars all dolled up in a uniform, '‘Bill” Steers and Jake Ilisley are now working under the direction of Lonestar Dietz, former coach of the Washington State University. Contests Lined lip. \\ ith the game this batiiroay the ure gon team has a fine line of contests for tin next few weeks. Next Saturday the team play* the University of Washing ton in Seattle and O. A.

JOURNALISTIC BOOKS LISTED The library is preparing a mimeo .raphed list cf books on journalism and Unrnalist®. The list includes hooks of nterest to men and women interested in ■ urnalism and printing. This list will be finished by next week. j Gobs Now Exalted Above Fellow Men; Uniforms Have Come The Gobs are jubilant; they are feel ing superior, too. For their uniforms came yesterday and they wore them to the dance and smiled condescendingly on their soldier brothers in civilian clothes, and tried to look as if they didn’t hear the whispered “Don't they look just won derful?” People to port and starboard of the good ship Galleon yesterday morning wondered what had broken loose when they heard wild shouts and noticed the gobs dancing joyously about three boxes, which all were trying to push and pull up the gangplank. They soon found out, for in a remarkably short time, there sallied forth from aboard ship real sailors. They didn’t try not to show their joy. They shouted and sang and soon every girl on the campus knew that fifty “live" sailors were on our campus—to stay. Most of the sailors went for walks at once, clad in their suits of blue and wearing the little white hats, cocked at just the right angle. Altogether, the Gobs consider yester day a most satisfactory time and last night a real triumph. ITIMT COUNCIL Year Book Given Up Because of War May Yet Appear ! This Year. The Oregana, college year book, may yet be a reality this year, according to Hlla Dews, vice-president of the student body and member of the executive com mittee. At a previous meeting it was decided by the executive committee that exist ing conditions caused by the war pre vented the student body from even con sidering the putting out of an annual. Now. because of the recent turn of events toward peace, this decree is to be reconsidered. The executive committee, composed of Herald White, Helen McDonald, Jack Dundore, Willard Hollenbeck and Charles Huntington, ex-officio member, will meet Wednesday in the office of D. .i. John son in Johnson hall, and at this time the Oregana question will be considered. In case it is decided to publish the year book as usual, it will be much smaller and much less elaborate than pre viously. There will probably be no meeting of the student council next Wednesday due to the Thanksgiving vacation, although no definite announcement can be made since Herald White, president, is now in California with the football team. JOURNALISTS MAKE GOOD Former Students at University Busy on Portland Papers. Dean Eric W. Allen, bead of the school of journalism, returned to the campus this morning after a three days trip to Portland where he rpent most of his time visiting the newspuper offices. In the office of the Oregonian he met three Oregon students, former majors in the journalism department now work ins on the Oregon staff. Echo June Zahl, '17, is doing straight reporting work and at present has the court house run. She told Sir. Allen that she enjoyed her work very much. Eucien Arant, is now on the copy desk of the Oregonian. He held a position with the Journal Tot over a year and and also worked on the Salem Stalest!an. Louise Allen, ’17, who until last summer was working on the Tacoma News-Ledger, is now on the Oregonian staff. Mr Allen reports that the Telegram is doing fine work. In the “Letters from a Journal Man Abroad," by Fred Lockley the Journal’s foreign correspondent, more than 1.000 items appeared during the last year about the school of journal ism students at the University of Ore gon. Ml IMS ENJOYABLE EIIEIT Vocal Program in Armory to Be Preceded by Joint Band Concert. The University of Oregon student body is urged to do its bit in milking the. big Victory Song Festival which is to be held at the Eugene armory Sunday af ternoon beginning at three o’clock, a suc cess. This song festival is a small part, Eugene’s part and the University of Ore gon's part, in the nationwide celebration of victory to take place during the next week. A band concert by the combined Uni versity and municipal bands is to be given at three o’clock and at three-thirty the 1 song festival, led by Howard E. Pratt, musical director for the northwestern division of the Y. M. C. A., who for the past week has been instilling the song spirit, iuto the S. A. T. C. men in par ticular, and the student body in general, will begin. The mon of the University are to march to the armory in a body. It is not compulsory for them to attend because Mr. Pratt said he does not want anybody at ttie song fest who does not want to bo there. Seats are to be reserved for the student body in a central place so that Mr. Pratt will be able to put on some of the song stunts which he has been prac ticing with the men on the campus dur ing the past week. It has been suggested by Dorothy Fle gel. president of the women's league, that the women of the University plan to go .to the song fest in a body too for, accord ing to Karl Onthank, secretary to Presi dent Campbell, it is going to bo hard to reserve seats for them otherwise. There fore the following plan will be carried out ns nearly as possible. The girls of Hendricks hall will leave their residence at two-thirty and go down Alder street in a group to Thirteenth. Here they will be joined by the girls from the Gamma Phi Beta, Ivappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, and Tri Dolt houses. Tin- girls will then go to b.lev rnth where the Pi Beta Phi’s will join them. On the way down Eleventh they will be joined by tbe girls of the Alpha Phi. Chi Omega and Theta houses. All other girls wishing to attend the sing can fall in with the group anywhere along the line of march or meet them at the armory. Miss Elegel especially requests that the girls do not break up into groups of twos or threes as they are expected to enter the armory in a body. The girls are to proceed in a body which will not be in the form of a serpentine. The assembly next Wednesday was to be used as a celebration for song week but this Festival Sunday, according to Karl Onthank, will take its place. At some time during the sing President Campbell will speak. Further arrange ments for the assembly next Wednesday have not ns yet been made. LIBRARY FUND EXHAUSTED No Further Addition of Books or Period icals This Year. The University library fund has run out, and no more books, newspapers, or periodicals ean be added to the library until nest January when the new budget for the various departments of the Uni versity is issued, unless they are abso lutely essential to 4ha needs of the stu dent, it is explained by M. H. Douglass, University librarian. With the weight of military expenses draining the University pock°thook, the library is obliged to curtail the expens ■ of further equipment this year. The li brary has already spent ST.000 out of the $10,000 whieh would have been its ap propriation under normal conditions. The money has been spent entirely for books; bindings and periodicals and is a fund entirely separate from that which pays for work done by the library staff and its assistants. According to the ruling of the regents, no department can pay this year’s bills out of next year's appropriation. No de ficiency expenditures are allowed, cor. qtiently there will not be any big addi tions in the library until after Christmas. Students to Receive Emeralds at Library; Days of Kicks to End Everyone rejoice! The days when you didn't set your Emerald, no matter liow hard you kicked, are over. So says the circulation department. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s paper will he distributed hereafter from the chocking station in the basement of the library from 8:30 to 1(1 in the evening and from 0 to 10 on the morning following publication, it is announced. Since most of the students are not on the campus Saturday and Sunday this issue of the Emerald will be delivered. A man will be detailed from each bnr racks to get the papers after 0 o'clock in the evening. They will be distributed from there in the same way that they are now. Students living in town my get their Emerald either in the evening or in the morning, whichever is the most convenient for them. The system of delivering the Emeralds has been adopted by the managing de partment of the paper in the hope that it will give better satisfaction to those who have not been receiving their paper regularly. There have been a great many complaints from students who should got the Emerald and never do. Everyone will lie treated alike now, and everyone will have the paper which he should have three times a week. This plan is carried out in other universities with great success and after the first few times it is expected that the plan will work correspondingly well here. I No Positive Rule to Determine Good From Bad, Says A. R. Svveetser. One of the deadly varieties of mush rooms was found on the campus this week and for a wThile was exhibited in the library. This variety had a distinct cup at the base of the stem aud the top was tinged with red and yellow naid was covered with scales. Besides analyzing specimens for pen pie in Eugene Professor A. It. Sweetser is receiving every day in his historical laboratory specimens of mushrooms for analysis from various parts of the state. At this time of the year when the mush rooms are very plentiful, many persons are sending doubtful samples to be analy zed in the laboratories. When the speeiment is received it is photographed and its history is traced in order to determine whether it is pois onous or not. Professor Sweetser says there is no rule by which one may distin guish between the edible and poisonous mushrooms. The only way is to learn to know each one. But, lie says, as a rule the mushrooms which have cups at the base of the stem are to he avoided. The Extension Division of the Uni versity published a bulletin describing tiio various forms of mushrooms distin guishing between the poisonous and edi ble ones. Copies of the leaflet may he obtained by applying to the Extension Division. KEITH LESLIE ON CAMPUS f-'ortner Football Man Assitant on Co quille Solective Board.
