A general committee with Herald White, last year’s stu dent body president as chairman, was appointed by Stanford Anderson, stu dent president, as the opening shot of the campaign for publicity and enlarged plans. The main committee is made up of representatives from every organ ization on the campus and is com posed of the following members, be sides Chairman White: William Hol lenbeck, Edwin Durno, Lindsay Mc Arthur, George Shirley, Morris Mor gan, Guy Armantrout, Elmo Madden, V.

The committee will hold its first meeting Thursday evening. Other committees will be appointed in the near future, after more definite plans have been put under way. Miss Charlie Fenton, alumni sec retary, appeared before the council last night and urged the body to put every effort behind the coming event. She brought out the facts th$t Home coming week-end this year would bring hundreds of alumni and former students to Oregon who could not attend the festivities last year be cause of war conditions. Further more the main event of the week-end, the Oregon-O. A. C. football game, would make the Homecoming es pecially significant as it will be the first year for many seasons that Oregon and O. A. C. have mixed on Oregon’s gridiron. Also the game will be the first to be played on the new athletic field. Advertising Will Cover State Miss Fenton outlined possible ad vertising methods. She suggested that stickers bearing announcement of the week-end be printed and dis tributed broadcast among the stu dents, who could paste them on the backs of the envelopes of their let ters. Posters and placards will be sent to every city and town in the state, she said. It is also probable that arrangements will be made so that reserved seats for the football game can be secured by mail. Marion McClain, graduate manager, is seek ing to obtain special railroad rates for the week-end. DAVID PHILBIN IS DEAD Well Known Athlete Was Member of Oregon Football Team of 1913.

The first student body dance of the year will take place next Satur day evening. The exact location of the occasion is shrouded in mystic uncertainty to date as it is a hard matter to find an auditorium on the campus or in Eugene where a crowd the size of the University student body can be accommodated. Harry Jamieson, chairman of the dance committee of the student council, is caring for the matter and Avill have a place arranged for within the next few days. Effort will be made to secure the armory but if it cannot be had it is possible that both the men’s gymnasium and the new annex will be ushered into service. House mothers of various scorify houses will act as chaperones to the affair as President and Mrs. P. L. Camp bell are entertaining the faculty at the Osburn hotel Saturday night. DEBATORS TO GET CREDIT University Hours Given Speakers by Professor Prescott. _ f A new step has been taken in in tramural debate at the University in that credit will be given where the work is carried on under authorized coaches. It is the plan of Professor R. W. Prescott, who is in charge of debate, to select competent coaches from the members of the University faculty, from the varsity debaters, and also from outside sources. A member from each of the fraternity and sor ority houses and from Friendly and Hendricks Hall will be chosen to meet some time during the first of the week to decide on subjects and to work out a schedule for the series. Only where strict adherence has been paid to the rules governing the debate will credit be given, says Professor Prescott. BROWN RESIGNS AS PREXY Wounded Veteran of 65th Field Ar tillery Chosen Treasurer. Ruthford Brown of Baker, who was elected president of the freshman class at the first meeting of the year Friday, has resigned his position. A meeting of the freshman class has been called for this evening to elect a man in his stead.

The office of secretary went to Mildred Weeks, a graduate of Washington high school, Portland. Fred Schuerman, of Ashland, was elected treasurer by a large majority. Schuerman was one of the few men of the 65th regiment of field artil lery who was wounded in France. He was struck in the face by a piece of flying shrapnel which left a scar on his nose. SCHOLARSHIP FUND GIVEN $200 To Be Offered in Prizes for Best Work in College. Two hundred dollars has been giv en to the University for a scholarship fund. The money was received by Dean Straub from a prominent wo man of the state who wishes her name withheld. Present plans for the awarding are to give fifty dol lars to the member of the men’s fra ternity and the same amount to the member of a sorority house having the best standing in scholarship at the end of the year; fifty dollars to the non-fraternity man having the highest grades, and a like amount to the non-sorority girl with the highest standing. Dean Straub is chairman of the committee in charge and he will be assisted by Dean Fox, Miss Perkins and President Campbell. The com mittee will meet this week To decide finally upon the awarding, and an nouncement will be made at the next assembly. YELL KING TRYOUTS TO BE HELD AT MEETING OF STUDENTS THUR. Oregon Short of Peppy Cheers; New “Ear Splitters” Need ed by Saturday All of you who can yell come out to assembly Thursday morning, for you'are going to be given the best chance you ever had right at that time. If your talents run to yelling, then remember that there is to be a new yell king elected, and that you might just as well have that job as anyone else. Get your heads to gether and concoct some new yells, for the present “three” are worn to a frazzle by constant use, and old Oregon needs some new peppy ear splitters, especially a new siren; to urge the wearers of the “O” on the gridiron on to victory. The tryout will occupy the first place in the student body meeting as it is ne cessary that the leader be chosen be fore the pajama parade on Friday night preceding the Multnomah game on Saturday. With Oregon’s student body at its present size there should be six or more candidates for yell king and each man in the running should have at hand one new yell which will be a worthy vehicle for expression of Oregon spirit. Originality in yells submitted will be half the battle won toward their acceptance. A new idea for wording or for the way they are to be given will add to their value as Oregon products. Yells may be submitted to Stanford Anderson, the Emerald, or may be presented to the student body by any man who tries out for yell king. The second tryout will be on Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock on the athletic field. Students will in this way have an opportunity of judging the man’s ability when per forming out of doors. The leader will be chosen by the student coun cil Thursday night at 7 o’clock. FOUNDATION PARTLY LAID FOR $200,000 Structure to be 100 x 300 Feet, With Pool, Reception and Guest Rooms Excavation for the Woman's build ing. which is to be erected in the field back of Hendricks Hall, was be gun August 20 and already the foun dation has been partly laid. As the plans are working out now the build ing will be completed within a year. This summer by subscription and bonds the sum of nearly $70,000 was raised, of which more than $50,000 has already been paid in. This amount was necessary before the state would match with an additional $50,000 and allow the building to be started. Contracts entailing an ex penditure of $90,000 have been award ed which will put the building com pletely under cover. When finished the building will have cost approxi mately $200,000, $100,000 of which is being raised by the University and the other $100,000 appropriated by the state. The building will be 100 x 300 feet and will contain a large swimming pool, club and committee rooms, a large reception room and several guest rooms. , Lawrence & Holford, of Portland, are the architects for the building. Ellis Fuller Lawrence is dean of the school of ^architecture at the Uni versity. The contracts for the out side work on the building have been awarded to W. O. Heckart, but as yet no contract has been made for the inside. I Now that actual construction has begun the committee expects less difficulty in raising the funds neces sary to complete the work. There is still the sum of $30,000 to be raised, iome of which will be pledged by the students who have not as yet given a definite subscription. Biggest Mix in History Promise J*,; J* of Juniors Who Will Hove jl ,ji jl «J* J* J* <* * * jt j* Charge of Frosh-Soph Clash “The biggest, best and squarest mix ever pulled off on the Oregon campus,” is the promise made for the annual Freshman-Sophomore in terclass mix, to be staged next Sat urday as a preliminary to the Mult nomah-Oregon game. Nish Chapman, president of the juniors, who is arranging the classic, believes the mix will eclipse any thing of its kind ever seen here. Junior committees have been ap pointed, seniors are digging out old sombreros, nicked-up canes and rusty stars, while sophomores are report ed to be worrying over a possible outcome as the freshman class Is full of husky warriors who have or ganized and are assuring themselves of winning for the first time in his tory. “Pinky” Boylen, soph prexy, says his hair is not turning gray from worry. Nevertheless the husky war riors of his class are considering a diet of raw meat and onions, for when a heavyweight freshman pres ident-elect resigns because he isn’t husky enough to head the 200-pound babes of his class, the mix is so far an uncertain victory. Dean Morton, sophomore advisor, and Dean Straub, freshman consoler, are having regular mixes themselves whenever the subject is brought up. Dean Morton advocates the squarest possible mix—with the sophomores winning, while Dean Straub is equal ly urgent to have his first-year babes win. 0 L, . . J Junior class men will be on the field Saturday, however, to see that Dean Morton is seated on the op posite end of the grandstand from Dean Straub, while the senior cops will guarantee that they stay there. Star Judges Selected. “Honest Bill” Hayward, “Square Shy” Huntington and “Straight Bart” Spellman will see that things are run off correctly. They will act as Judges of the different events, and guarantee not to count double, see twice or carry sophomore sandbags. "Absolutely every man in my class must be on hand for the mix,” says “Pinky” Boylen. “The freshmen haven't anyone to order them out, so I’ll tell them that every freshman must be there as well.” Girls will have their share in the fun, too, for they will help in a large way with the class stunt and with the decoration. Then too, their pres ence pmy have a possible Influence upon the Judges’ decisions, while the senior cops are known to be suscep tible to women’s wiles. Choice Stunts Offered Among the stunts that will be staged are: the sandbag contest, where one side usually carries more from the center than the other, the sophoipores not always winning; the cane rush, where the man with the most hands wins; the flag scramble, where everyone scrambles or Is scrambled, in scrambling for a flag at the top of a pole; the tie-up con test, where the wrestling champ of the world is usually picked, or pick ed upon; the class yelling contest, where split tenors vie with throttled bassos.; the class stunts, which are snappy and tragic, and numerous other stunts not on the program pulled off by the famous senior cops. This Is to be but a preliminary to the Multnomah-Oregon football game, and will fittingly usher in the ath letic season. Nish Chapman, Junior president, has appointed the follow ing committees for the mix: General chairman, Ernie Boylen; program, Francis Jacobberger, Carl Weigel, George Beggs; equipment and ar ranging of the field, “Bib” Carl, Si Starr, Harry Smith and Merle Blake.

PROSPECT AIDED BY RETURN OF WILLIAMS AND STEERS TO GRID Ex-Marine Quarter Takes Over Running of Varsity Soon After Arrival FIRST GAME SATURDAY Huntington Will Probably Use Many in Initial Struggle of Season Against Multnomah. (By Alexander G. Brown) With the return of Bill Steers yes terday the football roster for the season is now complete. Baz Wil liams turned out last night and took his place at tackle for a short time. Steers handlea the first team in practice. Another shift was made when “Fat” Mautz was shifted from guard on the first squad to the sec ond squad and his place was taken by Art Berg, a veteran of the team of ’17. There is very little difference between the first and second team, and rating them as such is more a matter of convenience than anything else. Scrimmage Saturday proved that the Varsity Is going to have a week of exceptional training and work before the clash with the Multnomah team next Saturday. Multnomah has lost one of her best players in the death of David Philbln, who died in Portland yesterday after a very short illness. Philbln played one year on the University of Oregon football team during the season' of 1913 before going to Notre Dame, from which school he graduated In 1917. StrowbridQe Takes Turn Ed Strowbridge is now taking turns with Captain Brandy Brandom berg at half, with Vine Jacobberger takfhg the other half. Hollis Hunt ington is holding his own at fullback. It was a treat to see “Holly” and Bill in action last night, and upon these two men a great deal of the responsibility of guiding the team of the year rests. From a press box I observation it would appear that the following men •* would be most likely to start the game against Multnomah: center, “Brick” Leslie; guards, Art Berg, A1 Harding, Mautz or “Spike” Lesie; tackles, Baz Williams and Ken Bart lett; ends, Stan Anderson and Mar tin Howard; quarter, Bill Steers; halfs, Vine Jacobberbeg, Ed Strow bridge and Brandenberg; fullback, Hollis Huntington. It is probable that at least seven or eight others will get into the game Saturday. Francis Jacobberger, Nish Chapman, “Busher" Blake, “Prink” Callison, Ed Ward, “Stuffen” Dresser and al most all of those now on the second team will probably be used during the afternoon. GLEE CLUB TRYOUT SET Candidates Report at Mueic Building 9 to 12 and 2 to 4 Tomorrow The first tryout for the men’s glee club is to be held Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the morning and 2 to 4 in the afternoon. New candidates are asked to be at Prof. A. Lukken’s stu dio in the music building at this time. The final tryout is to be held at the same place Thursday evening at 7:30. With a large number of former members back from the service an entirely new deal is to be given everybody. Instead of following the old custom that allowed former mem bers of the club to automatically be come members of this year’s club, everyone will have to earn his pos ition anew this year. The glee club will be composed of from 20 to 30 men, depending upon the material. As yet no time has been set for rehearsals, and the plans for several concerts are but tehtative. o George Hopkins, president of the glee club, expects the 1919 club to be one of the best Oregon ever had. Harold Grey Visits Harold D. Grey, of Medford, a graduate of last year, is spending a few days visiting on the campus.
