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

The sum of $25 has been accepted
by E. C. Lake of the Lake Marble

struction of forty monument pack
ing cases burned in the Frosh bon
fire last Friday night.
The cases, which were valued at
$75, were taken by mistake by mem

j collecting fuel for the big blaze. An
arrangement has been made* with
numerous merchants throughout the
city that ail boxes and old packing
crates which were available for the
fire should be placed in the alleys
in the middle of the downtown blocks
where they would be collected.

CLASSES WILL MEET
AT ASSEMBLY HOUR
AMOUNT OF BUSINESS ON
HAND GIVES PROMISE OF
LIVELY SESSIONS
Assembly on Thursday morning is
to be given over to class meetings,
according to information given out
by Karl Onthank, secretary to the
president. 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. Two hot-air fur
naces areieing installed in the base
ment of t*e building.
The excavation of the basement
has been in progress for the last
week, and the installation is ex
pected to be ‘completed by Saturday.
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.

—WORK FOR ORATORICAL
CONTEST TO BEGIN
Owing to the postponement of the
doughnut debating series, elimina
tions for the triangular state debate
between the Oregon Agricultural
college, Reed college and the Univer
sity of Oregon, will be held next
Tuesday at 4 o’clock in Professor
Prescott’s room in Johnson hall. 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.

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.
