Harrison Huggins Mildred Weeks Hobart Belnap Imogene Letcher Rutherford Brown Del Oberteufer Gene McEchern The student volunteer campaign is being renewed with added vigor. The delay caused by Homecoming events must be made up by increased activity on the part of the students. There is yet much confusion among the students concerning this campus undertaking and it is hoped to make clear the purpose and manner in which this campaign is being con ducted on the campus before the end of the campaign. The student body elected its own delegates to attend this convention in Des Moines from December 31 until January 4. The nominating committee definitely decided *last night that 12 candidates should be elected by the students, these choices being made from a list of 30 stu dents. There will be four seniors sent, three juniors, three sophomores and two freshmen. The number of men and women will be equal. * Polls Open Thursday. The voting will be held in the administration building this com ing Thursday, $1 allowing an indi vidual to cast his choice for twelve nominees. The pledge and vote cards which were distributed at assembly some time ago have been slow in coming in, the number which have been returned to date being 250. This plan was thought to be the most feasible one to raise the nec essary $1,000. The national committee has not announced the speakers of the con vention. but it has assured the col leges that men of learning, men fore most in the affairs of the nation well versed in the social, political and industrial problems of the day will address the student gathering in a systematical way. The benefits to be derived from the sending of these delegates to this monstrous student assembly cannot be estimated in fig ures. But it is certain that the in fluence which the Oregon men and women will bring back from this (Continued on page 4) $75 WORTH OF BOXES BURNED IN BONFIRE E. C.

Lake of the Lake Marble and Granite Works, 1035 Willamette street, in compensation for the de struction of forty monument pack ing cases burned in the Frosh bon fire last Friday night.

All classes have enough business on hand to make worth-while meetings, Mr. Onthank declared, and the purpose in allowing the assembly hour for class meetings is to give every member an opportunity to at tend. * The class loyalty of the individual student is at stake, he said, and all students are urged to attend their respective class gatherings. In each case the business to be transacted makes desirable the presence of every i member of the class. The places of class meetings as given out by Mr. Onthank are as fol lows: Seniors, Professor Howe’s room, Villard; juniors, Guild hall, so phomores, “Y” hut; freshmen, Villard hall. FULL UNIFORM REQUIRED Cadets to Be Disciplined for Failure to Comply. Some disciplinary measures will be taken with the cadets who report to R. O. T. C. drill without complete uniforms, acording to an announce ment made at drill period Monday Hooks have been provided in the company rooms where the cadets may keep their blouses and campaign hats in order to avoid the necessity of wearing them during the entire day. Those who reported in civilian clothes yesterday were held for extra drill after the dismissal of the companies. Impromptu Rally Bursts Forth j* j* ^ ^ j* v< ** * Walkout Disapproved by Deans Celebrating the victory that the Oregon .football team scored over the representatives of O. A. C. Saturday the students gathered at the armory yesterday afternoon . for an im promptu dance and general good time. All formality was cast to the winds and the men allowed to go coatless and programs were “not being done.’ During the course of the afternoon “Slim” Crandall introduced himself and after getting the gang going nicely introduced “Shy” Huntington, Bill Hayward, Bart Spellman and a number of the members of the Oregon team. Carl Mautz and Cap tain ‘Brandy Brandenberg could not be found when the time came for them to make their debut before the audience. “Slim” pulled one for the book when after calling loud and long for “Brandy” he remarked that he guessed “the captain had gone i below." Stan Anderson made a hit when he was called upon to say a fe words to the friends and relatives. Stan lost a couple of teeth from the front section of his face in the fracas last week-end and caused a general out burst of merriment when he started | to talk. The celebration originated on the campus and seems to have been the idea of several people at the same time. All the students who were so 1 fortunate as to have classes yester day afternoon were relieved of the ! oblgatiou of atending hem by the members who brought them out to J join the crowd. In the course of the rounds, it is understood. Dean Straub | was left out. and he announced that double cuts will be given to those 1 who left classes yesterday afternoon. BASKETBALL TEAMS PUT II THREE LEAGUES FOR DWGHIUT SERIES Schedules All Arranged and Contests Will Start Next Week Final arrangements for the dough nut basketball leagues have been completed and all that remains now is for the schedule to be drawn up and active work to commence. Three leagues have been decided upon as the only feasible method of handling the many teams and the drawing for places on these leagues took place Friday last. The first league will consist of teams from the Bachelor don club and Friendly hall and the sigma in u, sigma emu ana Beta ma ternities; league number two will be made up of the faculty team, the S. A. E.’s and the Oregon, Owl and S-Marajlda clubs; the tl^ird league will be the A. T. O’s Fijis, Kappa Sigs, Phi Delts and Delta Taus. “Bill” Hayward, who has charge of arranging the schedules and prac tice hours for the teams, will an nounce these within a few days and it is thought probable that the teams can begin playing off the schedules by the first part of next week. The winners of the various leagues will then meet in the semi-finals and the two best will then contest for the honors in a three-game series. It is hoped that the schedule may be com pleted by the first part of December, before the varsiy begns regular practice. All the games will be played in the afternoon as usual, and three courts can be secured if necessary, two in the outdoor gym and one in the indoor gym. This will be an aid to completing the schedule on time. A number of the teams have already been practising at odd hours in the gym and from the looks of the ma terial which has been turning out there will be some hard-fought con tests in the doughnut leagues this season. HOT AIR WARMS BARRACKS Furnaces to Enable R. O. T. C. Stafl to Defy Winter. The threat of wintry breezes doesn’t worry the R. O. T. C. staff stationed at the barracks.

HOMECOMING MCE ATTENDED BE 2.00B STUDENTS ID GRADS Loving Cup is Given Phi Delta Theta for Best Stunt at Bonfire Rally t - One thousand couples crowded the Armory at the largest dance the Uni versity has ever known, Saturday night. Seven hundred of these were Oregon and O. A. C. students, the remaining- three hundred couples be ing alumni. More than $400 was realized in proceeds, which will be used in meeting various Homecoming expenses. I Pep and enthusiasm ran rampant at the big Homecoming dance. There were happy reunions of students from classes as far back as 1900, and Oregon spirit was bubbling every where. There was not a detail to mar the joy of the evening. Alumni and students were intoxicated with Oregon’s victory over O. A. C. on Hayward field, and demonstrated in every way their feelings. The armory was cleverly decorated in the “lemon-yellow and green” of Oregon, with a large yellow “O” suspended from the center c|f the ceiling. It was to this “O” that the yellow and green streamers were fas tened and then looped up to the bal cony railing. The punch bowl was in a booth of green and yellow which carried out a latticed effect. The loving cup won by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, whose stunt entitled “An O. A. C. Rally” at the bonfire Friday night was judged the best, was formally presented by Pres ident Campbell. The cup is a large silver, gold-lined trophy donated to the college by Luckey’s jewelry store, Music which helped to develop the desired pep was furnished by the ten piece orchestra which plays for the majority of armory dances. Though it seemed at times as though the crowd had become so dense it &oukl be impossible to go on, not a one of the 1,000 couples gave up the strug gle, but went merrily on until Dean John Straub called a halt. More time was spent in making a way out of the building jthan at any other tim, as the crowd got badly jammed in the doors. Patrons and patronesses for the affair were Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ger linger, Judge and Mrs. R. S. Bean, Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. Homer D. Angell, Judge and Mrs. Lawrence T. Harris and Dean Elizabeth Fox, Governor and Mrs. Ben W. Olcott and President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell. 16 OFFICERS NAMED FOR R.O.T.C.

It had previously been the plan of Pro fessor Prescott to select the debaters for the triangular state contest from participants in the doughnut series and to a certain extent depend upon the old varsity debaters. Anyone who wants to try out for the traingular state debate must turn in his name to Professor Prescott not later than noon Friday of this week; however, in the event that six or less hand in their names, the num ber required to compose the three teams for the debate, there will be no tryouts Professor Prescott also urges those who are expecting to take part in the oratorical contest early in Janu ' ary to hand in their names to him so that work may begin at once. DR. BOYNTON WRITES BOOK _ j Treaties On Thermodynamics to Be Published at End of Year Professor W. P. Boynton, of the department of Physics, is preparing a treatise on the subject of Thermd dynamics, which he will offer to pub lishers at the end of the year as an advanced text book on the subject. Dr. Boynton first began work on this subject at the University of Cal ifornia in 1898 OREGON HAS GRANGE TO REPRESENT WEST AT PASADENA GAME Coaching Staff During Satur day’s Game Well Satisfied With Showing VARSITY CLIMAX REACHED Huntington Gives Out Word That Players Will Rest Until Thursday. While die varsity was downing the ,Aggie phalanx i'or the second con sective time Saturday, the Univer sity of Washington came back and placed three elevens in the triangular tie tor the coast championship. IJp till that time, the Washington State eleven was conceded the logical ag gregation to represent the west at Pasadena, but when Coach “Jump” Hunt’s warriors took advantage of the hard schedule of the eastern Wash tonians, as the Cougars did Oregon a week before, the tables were upset and it now remains, for Washington elevens to take on the California and O. A. C respectively. The contest Saturday marked the climax of the season for Oregon. For throe straight games the teams had been struggling to uphold its honor against their hardest rivals in the conference, and as a result, this week will be one of relaxation. Baz Williams Suffers Injuries. loach “Shy” Huntington an nounced yesterday afternoon that no work will be done until Thursday. The only contest that remains on the schedule is the Multnomah game in Portland Thanksgiving day. This scrap does not call forth the spirit that a conference clash does and, unless Oregon is chosen to represent the west at Pasadena, the workout from now on will bo comparatively light. ‘“Baz” Williams came out of the O. A. C. mix in a worse condition than any of his team-mates. The fighting tackle received a severe blow on his left shoulder and is still suf fering from it. He will probably be out the lineup for the Multnomah game. Several others were slightly injured. nggigi uuipmyca <u mi nrigics. The coaching staff which sat on the Oregon bench during the clash against the collegians was well sat isfied with the showing the varsity made against the old-tline opponents. There was not a doubt in the world that the Aggies were outplayed in every department of the game. The ball was in their territory during al most all of the game. "Oregon fight” was there in abundance, and the “old hands” who feared that the spirit of the past years was on the decline soon saw that such was not the case, for from whistle to whistle the Corvallis eleven was out-done. It now remains to be seen how the conference will be settled in the nevt two weeks. Oregon’s confer ence schedule is a thin* of the past unci while the varsity is resting on her laurels, the other members of tte conference will have to show %Ueir calibre for another fortnight.
