Yell something more in neces-j nary to maxo me icsuviue* are planned to bo the co-operation of every student on the campus in the program from first to last, not in the letter but in the spirit of the day. This Calls for more of real Oregon spirit than the last few months have seen, something of the atmosphere of Homecoming day when spring days and spring fancies had not appeared. Tomorrow is the day of ail days to show co-operation. Campus day depends absolutely on each student. Each man and woman must do his part or the program cannot be suc cessful. There is much work to be accomplished tomorrow morning. The complete committees were printed in Tuesday night’s Emerald, lie sure to llnd your name and report for duty promptly. Worse things than cor poral punishment await the man who does not respond to the call. He dishonors himself by showing he hasn’t the true spirit. # We must unite to make our visit ors feel with us that Oregon Is the best University in the country; we must unite to impart to them the love and loyalty which combine to make Oregon spirit.

Flapjacks Will Be Served From Real Campfire by Miners Did you notice three men—Ray Van Horn, Deo Hertlein and Del mar Powers—carrying about the campus all day, brand new Pros pectors’ hammers and wearing pledge ribbons of red and white? Did you wonder about the cause and the significance of it all? Well, these men were simply fulfilling the pledge day order of the Condon Club branch of the Geological and Mining Society of American Universities. They will become upperclassmen next year and have proved themselves eli gible to membership by their gen eral good scholarship on the Uni versity campus and will be ini tiated next Saturday. Listen for the shots which will be sounded on the campus Sat urday morning at 9 o’clock. They will lead you to a miner’s tent and complete camping outfit. Also, here will be found a miner in typical red shirt, rough boots and trousers and turned up hat, bent low over a small fire, mak ing flapjacks to be served to members Qf the club and their fortunate friends who happen to be near. $50Q WORTH OF HUMILIATION SUFFERED, SAYS PROFESSOR (Continued from page 1) and defamatory statement printed in the Emerald is: “WILLAMETTE PROFS WIN Faculty Tennis Meet Lost 2 to 1— Larremore Takes Singles.” The plaintiff alleges that the Uni versity professors were not defeated by the Willamette faculty but by the Willamette varsity tennis team, and the plaintiff charges that although it is no disgrace to be beaten by the Willamette varsity team it. is a dis grace to be defeated by the Willam ette faculty. Ho alleges that he has been subjected to ridicule and humil iation because of the printing of the false statement in the Emerald. Prior to the publication of this statement the plaintiff alleges that he received an offer of a remunera tive and profitable position as coach of a tennis team which he had de cided to accept. However, with the publishing of bis defeat by the Wil lamette faculty the offer was with drawn. As a result of this with drawal the plaintiff charges that he has been damaged to the amount of $600. How many years’ salary this is supposed to represent is not stated in the complaint. Other court officials besides the at torneys have not yet been appointed. BOB-TAILED DOG LEADS PARTY THROUGH MINE (Continued from page one) the first level of the Black Butte quicksilver mine, located 38 miles south of Eugene, Saturday morning. After reaching the first level of the mine, some of the girls in the party of 35 students said that they thought it was a shame to leave the poor dog alone on the first level. But when the exploring party moved for ward where Dr. Smith hoped to find some cinnabar containing the quick silver it was found that the care taker’s dog was leading the crowd, feeling his way carefully past the pools of water and sniffing at the entrance to the narrow dark man holes. Mr. Caler explained that “Bob” was better acquainted with the mine than any person in the party and was an adept at climbing ladders. Dr. Smith fignally located a pocket of cinnabar and by a concentration of the lights of the numerous can dles carried by the students he pointed out the irregular fissures in the rocks and explained how vol canic gases carrying mercury and sulphur had forced their way up from the interior of the earth. The mercury and sulphur, amalgamated with other minerals, cooled and were deposited in the scattered pockets. The excavations of the Black Butte quicksilver mine consist of seven miles of tunnels on three different levels near the summit of a tim bered butte 2350 feet above sea level and 1600 feet above the place where the ore was smeltered. The crushed rocks were sent from the mouth ow the tunnel down to the smelter nearly a mile below in buc kets strung on a continuous cable. The ore was roasted in furnaces and the gases were cooled in pipes spray ed by cold water. The sulphur pass ed out as a gas while hte mercury liquified and was collected in steel flasks weighing 0 pounds apiece. The mine has not been in opera tion since the war. Mr. Caler stated that quicksilver is worth about a dol lar a pound but there is no demand for it at present. Although the overhanging rocks in the great excavations have a menac ing appearance for the uninitiated, Mr. Caler said that to liis knowledge no one had ever been hurt in the mine. “The smelting process is the more dangerous,” he added, “since the pure quicksilver is poisonous.” The 35 geology students and then instructors traveled from Eugene to Black Butte in four cars and a pas senger bus. The mine and smelter were visited before noon, and after descending the nearly perpendicular butte in less than 10 minutes, the geologists ate their ulncheon in the grassy streets of the old mining town.
