BUSINESS SESSION SHORT
Announcements Fill Early Part of
Session—Graduate' Manager Gives
Data on Expenditures.
PEP!!! Slim Crandall voiced it
as he sprang to the stage in one
tremendous hound. Aroused by the
immortal OSKEE the first great
surge of life and returning spirit
burst out in assembly today. One
after another Oregon’s prospective
yell kings stepped forth and gave
their all.
With hearse throats and ringing
ears the gathering responded. Re
serve broke under the stimulus. Even
the frosh in the gallery were for
gotten till an empty stillness turned
Carl Knudson to them as leader.
Then above hoarse shouts of “mill
race,” they, swept away both noise
and opposition with Oskee and Ore
gon.
k With the last echo dying in the
distance Johnny Houston landed up
side down upon the platform. Oskee
in a whisper, Oskee quivering the
very building followed while the
midget pep machine gyrated from
floor to ceiling and from one side of
the platform to the other, disappear
ing suddenly as abuptly as he came.
Claire Keeney followed with action
that kept a flying tangle of long legs
' and arms before one’s eyes, and
-brought forth a mighty volume of
sound from the crowd.
Fmsto Arouses 'Ern.
\ The fast cooling lunches were again
forgotten as George Pasto slid home
beneath the piano and arose from his
back halfway down the page with his
oration. Laughter where tears were
expected, merriment that drowned
his words and flattened his excuses
met him at every turn. “Oregonensis”
hardly brought forth the same re
sults as the more familiar yells, but
Pasto was behind it. The thrilling
strains of Mighty Oregon ended as
the last man filed out of Villard hall.
General business covered the great
er part of the first student body as
sembly of the year. “We want sen
iors” rose in chorus from the som
hreroed gang occupying the front
benches in the lower middle section
of Villard. Dean Straub announced
an important freshman meeting in
Villard hall at 7:45 tonight.

ELEANOR CHAPMAN,
FLINT JOHNS ELOPE
Delta Gamma Sisters and Sigma Nu
Brothers Each Find Member
Missing Wednesday Morning.
The Sigma Nus awoke yesterday
morning to find that Flint Johns had
suddenly packed his bag and departed
in a most mysterious manner. And
the brothers were worried, until a
call came from the Delta Gamma
house announcing the disappearance
of Eleanor Chapman, and the Sigma
Nus' were asked to throw light on
the subject. To make a long story
short, a few well directed inquiries
on the part of friends of the couple
disclosed the fact that they left
their college haunts with the in
tention of being married within the
next two or three days.
The Johns-Chapman romance is
one of long standing, having begun
in their home town, Vancouver, Wash
ington, before the close of their high
school days.
Johns was a member of the senior
class, having returned to college
after serving in the navy last year.

Men to Parade In robe de nite
Big Rally to Follow Fashion Show
Ciad m faultless evening dress of
the kind commonly used for sleeping
purposes, 800 men students of the
University are scheduled to give ar
tistic interpretations of the modern
shimmy during their course in the
annual pajama parade which will
begin to commence tommorow even
ing at 8:30.
All the latest shapes and colors in
Sleep-Tite, Suorewell and Nu-bone
will be shown by very much alive
models, it is announced by author
ities, and a peep into the masculine
boudoirs discloses the fact that Na
ture overlooked several colors when
the rainbow was devised.
“It's going to be worth seeing and
being in,” declared “Stan” Anderson,
student body president, this evening.
“We expect absolutely every man in
college to be out. No excuses will
be tolerated, and unfortunate will be
the man who fails to appear.”
Tne men are instructed to meet at
the library at 8:15. In charge of
the yell leader they will start ser
pentining down Thirteenth avenue a
few minutes later, over to Eleventh
avenue by way of Alder street, and
thence to Willamette, where Eugene’s
populace will glimpse Ostermoor dec
orations extraordinary and hear yells
that would make Sioux warriors pink
with envy.
A short stop is to be made at the
Rex treatre, so that everybody and
his relatives may know what is go-!
ing on, and a trip will be made thro’
the Rainbow confectionery.
“Should any business house in Eu- j
gene feel slighted, we will consider j
making it a visit,” it is announced. ;
At the corner of Eighth avenue and i
Willamette street the secret is to1
be let out and everybody in town will!
be let in on the fact that the rally I
is to promote interest in and raise
enthusiasm for the Multnomah game
to be staged on Kincaid field Satur
day afternoon. Permission has been
granted the yell leader by local
authorities to wake all early-to-bed
enthusiasts in Eugene and Spring
field. Consequently ti is believed
by the time all “Oskies” are deliver
ed the lin eof pyjama wearers may
be lengthened by several yards of
citizens.
Following the finale at Eighth
avenue the parade will return to the
campus.
“The main thing is to have every
body out,” Anderson declared, “and
I believe everybody will be. We
want to bring out the fact that Ore
gon spirit—the spirit that’s going to
help win our games for us—is still
very much alive.
“Let’s go!”

PLAN FOR BOATHOUSE
OFFERED UNIVERSITY
BY F. L. CHAMBERS
Mill Race Headquarters Under
Student Management
Discussed
The proposition of having a boat
house as canoeing headquarters on
the millrace and under the manage
ment of the associated students of
the University is being discussed to
some extent at present by the stu
dent council, the executive council
and students generally about the
campus. Talk of the plan began when
F. 1,. Chambers, of Eugene, purchas
ed the boathouse property last sum
mer from Mrs. Kountz, tne former
owner.
Canoeing has become almost a
sport of the past during the last two
years because of no place to keep
canoes and of no way of supervising
the privilege of canoeing. The plan
under discussion, it is said, would
provide a place for storing canoes
and also authority for enforcing stu
dent body regulations in regard to
the sport.
tsoatnouse iveeas i-tepair.
The only proposition so far pres
ented to the University is a rental
of the property at $G0 a month. This
would, in fact, amount to a charge
of $120 per month, because there are
hut nine months of school and at
least four of these months are unfit
for canoeing. The building at present
is in a bad state of repair, and the
platforming is in bad condition, say
those who have looked at tlio prop
erty this year.
Other difficulties encountered in
talking over the plan are the cost
of equiping the proposed boathouse
with sufficient canoes and with blan
kets and pillows and a proper mau
agenwmi. Canoes and blankets, it is
said, would amount to $2000 in ex
pense beside the rental of the prop
erty. The University is at present
facing the matter of a debt on the
new athletic field.
McClain Favors Proposition.
“The University needs a boathouse
under student management,” said
Marion McClain, graduate manager
of the associated students, today.
The plan has been worked with suc
cess at other universities and col
leges, and canoeing has been a sport
enjoyer by a majority of the stu
dents in a safe manner and beyond
criticism of any sort. The University
owns a strip of ground just across
the race from the boathouse, and
this is accessible by means of the
bridge.
A tea room and soda fountain in
connection with the boathouse have
also been discussed and it is thought
that by charges for canoes, which
would amount to about one dollar for
an entire afternoon, and the profit
from the tea room the scheme might
lie made at least partially self-sup
porting.
At t ie opening of the present school
year "resident Campbell considered
the advisabilty of opening a dining
room annex for Friendly hall in the
large room above the boathouse in
order to accommodate the men of
• he hall. This plan has been aban
doned, however.
Mr. McClain is investigating fur
ther the possibility of a boathouse for
the University and definite announce
ment In regard to the matter will
probably be made in the near future.

GAME TO FOLLOW MIX
Portland Aggregation Lists Veteran
Players on its Roster—Tegart
at End.
(By Alexander G. Brown)
With the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic club football eleven as their op
ponents the University of Oregon
football team will start the season
this Saturday afternoon on old Kin
caid field. This game will probably
be the last contest staged on this
historic old gridiron, upon which for
over ten years the lemon-yellow has
triumphed over opposition from all
points of the Pacific Coast confer
ence, To many of the old students,
the fact that this game marks the
end of Kincaid as a football field is of
greater importance than the fact that
the game of November 15 marks the
opening of the new stadium.
The game^Saturday will be a Wat
erloo for some of the men turning
out for the Varsity night after night.
The squad must be cut down so that
more individual attention may be
paid the players. To say the least,
the candidates Saturday will stage
one great exhibition, as everyone is
determined that lie is not going to
bo among those left behind when
practice starts next week.
As the game is still two days away
it Is impossible at this time to say
just who will start. One guess is
just, about as good as another. From
sideline observation it would appear
that the game would be started with
the following men: Center, “Brick”
Leslie, veteran of the team of 1917
and of the freshman squad of 1916;
guards, A1 Harding, a member of
last season’s team, and Art Berg of
the frosh eleven of 1916 and the
Varsity of *17. At tackles there are
throe from whom it is impossible to
pick the two that will start. Baz
Williams, who played on the team of
1917, has been out but a week and
for this reason may not start. "Spike”
Leslie, of the freshman team of ’16,
and Ken Bartlett, a returned member
of the great Varsity aggregation of

Sophs and Frosh Rarin ’ to Mix
I’asst!
Look out for the Senior Cops!
Sheltered behind six-cylindered sil
. <t stars, made from the sacred re
mains of garbage cans and one-lung
Lizzies, the world-famous horde of
Settlor Cops will make their inaug
ural appearance on the Oregon cam
pus, Saturday tit one o’clock on Kin
caid Field, when they will start the
festivities for the big iuterclass mix.
The mix this year is likely to be
one of the big surprises of the year,
for the freshmen huskies are report
ed to be holding nightly conclaves,
while class officers have been seen
scurrying about • the campus burden
ed with copies of the “Strategy of
Napoleon,” and ‘Mohammed and his
Wives,” presumably looking, for a
means to achieve a strategic victory.
Further encouragement to the babes
will be given when the six dozen
| freshmen football aspirants appear
on the field ready to die (or be
dyed) for their class.
“Pinky" Boylen has confined his
studies to mathematics. As soph
president, “Pinky” has been trying
to add up the points he is sure to
get so that they will be more than
the points the sophomores won’t get,
and he is having a hard time doing
it. The aid of several members of
the faculty of the mathematics de
partment has been called In, but
the use of many boxes of chalk has
not eased the strain on young Boy
len’s mind.
On the other hand, the few heavy
weights of the sophomore class are
continuing their diet of raw meat,
but have discontinued eating onions,
as it interferes witli other necessary
sports in the sorority house league.
Smoking 1ms been cut down to a
minimum, only one package of
smokes a day being allowed to pros
pective mixers.
The freshmen candidates for the
Order of the Greased Pole, seem to
have confined themselves to gather
ing about the campus between class
hours, and discussing the matter pro,
con and otherwise. Their newly
elected chief. Ralph Taylor, has been
sizing up the sophomore supervisor,
with a view to possible individual
competition in some of the various
events.
Bottle of Iron of Beef, Snake Bite
remedy, and Bevo Nerve Invigorator
have been sitting on shelves belong
ing to freshmen, until lately the
sophomore men wised themselves
and copped the juice for themselves.
It is expected to have a very de
vastating effect upon the mix Satur
day.
The time set for the appearance
on Kincaid Field of all members of
the freshmen and sophomore classes
is 12:45. Juniors and Senior Cops
may be a minute late if they so de
sire. The same applies to the two
underclass advisors, Deans Straub
'•.nd Morton. Everything Is schedul
ed to start at one o’clock, thereby
giving all participants a chance to
smoke and take off their coats and
smoke again before the classic com
mences.
