OREGON WELCOME WAITS
Homecoming, that time to whicl
all University of Oregon students am
alumni look forward with sucli in
terest, will be, the University hopes
this year the largest homecominf
ever held on the campus. All form
er students are being notified tliai
November 15 will he the day wher
they can get together to renew old
acquaintances and again l'eel the
spirit of the Oregon campus.
Of principal interest in the week
end’s schedule will be the annual
contest with the Oregon Agricultural
College eleven. Oregon students al
ways take more delight in viewing
a game with the Aggies than one
with any other college team, and
this year the wealtli of seasoned
material will give the game its form
er "big league” quality. It will be
a contest that no former Oregon
student would wish to miss.
All sorts of pep will he needed for
the lug rally Friday evening pre
ceding the game, the rally that is
to eclipse all others in Oregon’s
history. With so many men back
(his year, the yelling and enthusiasm
of tin, serpentining mob will surely
be sufficient to stir even the most
impervious freshman. The freshman
bonfire will be sturted weeks in ad
vance and when'it is finally lit and
the Haines shoot skyward, speeches
by “Shy” and "Bill” and old stu
dents will add to the eagerness foy
the next day’s contest.
It isn't necessary to urge alumni
and former students to return. They
want to come back, but it is neces
sary to make them feel welcome and
every Oregon student must help in
the creating of tills feeling.
Let’s all pull together to make this
the largest and best homecoming
e\er given on the campus and to
make old Oregon students prouder
than ever of fheir alma mater.
OREGON FIGHT MUST BE RE
VIVED.
Oregon has been known far ami
wide as a school of student body
spirit and enthusiasm. Oregon light,
that indefinable something which lnts
been u characteristic of Oregon stu
dents and athletic teams since the
founding of the school, has been in
a large measure responsible for the
success which every department of
student endeavor has gained in the
past few years.
Tomorrow night at the pajama
parade and Saturday afternoon at
our tirst football game of the season
every student in the University will
be given a chance to show whether
they have that Oregon spirit or not.
Every man should enter into the
spirit of tomorrow night's parade and
be present in garb to suit the oc
casion. Saturday should see the
grandest revival of Oregon spirit
there has ever been in the history
of tlio school. The grandstand and
bleachers should be- pack, > with
rooters. Clear your throat and ex
pitnd your lungs and >ell Stand he
hind your yell leader in all he asks
and does, and get that Oregon spirit
of yours to bubbling over.

Leader Reported
Seeking More Of
Old Blarney Rock
, Colonel John Leader has included
in his itinerary for the next few
weeks a trip to Ireland. He is going
| to look after his business and pro
perty interests—at least such is the
explanation he gives his friends about
the campus.
| But putting two and two together
. they crystallize into an interesting bit
. i of gossip. Now the colonel’s pro
perty, so we are told, is located in
the county of Cork, or thereabouts.
’ His estate may need his personal
• attention, but the famous old Irish
' blarney stone is also located near
Cork, doubtless handy to the gentle
man’s property. In discussing his
., trip the colonel has made no mention
. of his designs on Cork’s greatest
; tourist attraction for he dearly loves
to put something over on us Amer
icans, but his secret has been guess
ed— he is crossing the ocean to bring
! back the rest of the blarney stone,
that small bit which he left behind
him years ago; lie is considering
■ going into the real estate business.
GIRLS TRYOUT SATURDAY
Last Year’s Members Will Compete
With New Candidates.
Girls’*glee club tryouts are sched
uled for next Saturday from 8:3Q
until 10, and from 3 until 4, in the
music building, according to Leland
A. Coon, assistsant piano instructor
in the department, who will direct,
the club.
Last year’s members of the glee
club will try out for this year’s mem
bership in the same manner as new
girls who have not been on the club
before. This decision was made by
Professor Coon on account of the
unusually large enrollment of girls
in the University. This, it was de
cided, was the only fair way of keep
ing the best voices in the University
on the glee club, and the decision
was enthusiastically received by all
of the old members.

THIRTY ON PROBATION
COMMITTEE MAKES RULE TO
DROP LOW GRADE PEOPLE.
Examination To Be Given in Month
to Determine Rating of All.
The scholarship advisory commit
tee, composed of the deans of the
departments, the deans of the col
lege, Professor DeCou, chairman of
the student committee, and Carlton
Spencer, registrar, met Tuesday
evening to discuss the supervision of
the scholarship of the students on
probation.
Due to existing circumstances a
few exceptions have been made to
students entering the University this
fall. Allowances have been made
for about 40 mature service men
who were desirous of entering col
lege this year, which has made a
slight irregularity in the usual re
quired 15 credit entrance rule.
Some 30 students who did not
make their required nine hours last
term are now on probation for this
term. If they fail to carry their
present work successfully they will
be dropped without further notice.
Owing to the crowded condition of
all the classes the committee has
adopted the plan of having tests in
all subjects in about a month. Stu
dents falling low in these examin
ations can be put on probation by
their instructors. Such people will
be requesed to report to certain
members ol’ the committee at regular
intervals until their grades are of
passing nature. The committee feels
that this will be a highly satisfactory
plan as last spring of the 15 warned
for having low grades only one failed
to pick up in scholarship by the end
of the college year.
All students are urged to see their
major professors or their individual
class instructors if they feel uncer
tain as to their class standing or if
they feel that their course is t,oo
difficult.
MIX TO BE “SQUARE”
Ways and means of perpetuating
the underclassmen mix as a “square”
one and at the same time assuring
sophomore victory were discussed
Tuesday afternoon at the junior class
meeting in the Y. M. C. A. liut. Nish
Chapman, junior president, appealed
for co-operation in the matte* and
urged that all juniors be on the
field Saturday to uphold Oregon’s
traditions. Ernest Doyen was ap
pointed general chairman of the mix.
Under The Showers
B y Herman Lind
Report from Corvallis state that
Harglss and his staff were disap
pointed with the showing made by
the Aggies against the Alumni last
Saturday. The grads outplayed their
competitors and held them to a
scoreless tie.
The O. A. C. schedule has now been
fully aranged for. The Hargissites
will battle Gongaza on Thanksgiving
day In Spokane.
The University of California var
sity eleven and the Olympic club of
San Francisco played a 6-6 tie game
in Berkeley Saturday. The latter
team is an aggregation of stars from
all parts of the country.
Coach Welch, the Carlisle Indian
in charge of the Washington Staters,
seems to be having trouble with his
backfield. On the line he has at
least two men for every position,
but Captain Dick Hanley and Mike
Moran are the only two who are
showing collegiate class behind the
line.
Captain Breshears of the Idaho
eleven was injured in a recent prac
tice and may not be able to play in
the game against the varsity in
Moscow on the 18th.
Coach Bleameister has more men
out for the varsity eleven than at
any previous time and has hopes of
making them all “step” this season.
