The pledge is so worded that all students may express their appreciation of train ing, ideals, and vision for life work, and voice a purpose to make a bountiful re turn to Oregon by laboring in the fu ture for the highest good and a greater commonwealth. Governor Ben W. Olcott, who read the pledge last year, will, after a brief ad dress, read it again to the students now on the campus. Reverend W. S. Gilbert, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Astoria, will deliver the address of the morning. Reverend Dr. Gilbert is the new mem ber of the board of regent’s, having been appointed to succeed W. K. Newell, now superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University. He has spoken on the campus a number of times, his last address being on the occasion of the Armistice Day celebration last year. He was at one time pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Eugene, he gave up his pastorate to serve as army chap lain during the Spanish-American war. During the late war Reverend Dr. Gil bert was chaplain of the First American Army corps, which service earned for him the rank of major. Music for the assembly will be pro vided by the music department. Mine. Rose MeGrew will sing several solos, and the men’s and women’s glee clubs will lead in the singing of America at the opening of the assembly.

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS START STORY CONTEST Old Legends of Indians and Pioneers To Be Revived; Prizes Offered for Most Contributed. High school students of the state will find it necessary to turn out with note book and pad and dig up stories of Indian and pioneer Oregon, if they wish their school to win the J. C. Almack cup this year, according to the report of Mrs. Goodall of the department of education. The subject as it has been announced is, “Know Oregon First,” and will pertain mostly to stories of the early history of Oregon. Salem high school, the winner of last year, is out again strong to defend its honors, but the indications are that it will have a hard fight. The University high school is particularly anxious to win the cup and bring more glory to their sponsor, the University. The i judges will be selected by the Oregon Council of Education and the prize essay will be announced next April. Aside from the contest the Council plans to stage a better English weeli from November 1 to November 5. The campaign last year was not successful, and the Council asks the earnest support of the University students to help put this year’s campaign over. Hugo Bezdek’s football machine of Penn State defeated the University of North Carolina 41 to 0 in Saturday’s game. .* PRIM COLLECTION ON DISPLAY RATED BEST SHOWN HE HE -- 1500 Specimens of Old and Later Masters Shown in Art Building. SENT BY ALLEN EATON American Federation Com piles Wide Range of Works; View Is Free. i ur an collection or its type which tho University has ever had is now on exhibition in the art building from ft until 5 daily, according to Elizabeth Had ley, president of the Art Club. This collection was sent to the University through the efforts of Allen Eaton, field secretary of the American Federation of Art, and former instructor in the art department here. It includes prints from the best works of both old and new masters, totaling about five hundred pic tures. Tho American Federation of Art had two purposes in compiling this collection, as the catalogue explains in the fore ward, namely: to give American people an opportunity to recognize true art, and to encourage print makers of America to make good reproductions at moderate prices. Parrish Works Included Among the most attractive features of the exhibition is a very representative group of Maxfield Parrish pictures, in cluding ‘'The Dicky Bird” with its golden sunshine and fairy air castle, the rich blues and purples of ‘‘Circe’s Palace” and others. ,T. Guerin, who has attracted so much attention recently, through his architec tural works, is well represented by his pictures of Washington, D. C. The most prominent of this group is probably the Capitol building, a beautiful and accurate reproduction of that magnifi cent example of American architecture. A print of the “Mona Lisa” French picture of international fame, occupies a prominent place among the other mas terpieces. So clear is this print that the minutest cracks of paint, in the original are plainly visible. American Life Portrayed. Every phase of American life is pic tured from Indian life by Couse to the modern children of Jessie Wilcox Smith; from the freedom of Remingtons west ern pictures to scenes on the Atlantic and in otir capitol city. An added attraction is that any one wishing to do so may order one or more of these prints through the Art or Architecture Clubs, who have arranged with the printers to secure more copies. Two hours spent in studying this col lection, Prof. A. H. Scliroff says, is worth ^ year’s lecture course in art, and members of the Art and Architecture clubs enthusiastically support him in this statement. The exhibit is free to all students and townspeople from nine until five, and during that time some one will be in charge to explain the pictures and to take orders. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. The collection will be here only the one week. Y. W. CHAIRMEN APPOINTED. Florence Furuset lias been appointed chairman of the industrial and employ ment committee of the Y. AV. C. A., by Marjorie Holaday, president. She is to take the place of Ollie Stoltenberg, who resigned last week. A new committee called, church co-operation committee has been formed says Miss Holaday, with Jean McKenzie appointed chairman. The purpose of the new committee is to link the students closer to the Eugene churches. THREE ARE PLEDGED. Delta Theta Pi, law fraternity, an nounces three new pledges, Mearl Sny der, Veryle Jones and John Hillary, all of McMinnville. The fraternity, which now has twenty-three members, is now eating in its own chapter house. MUSTACHE POLICY IS WATCHFUL WAITING Lyle Bryson May Bring Suit Against Non-Licensed Barbers of Mix Day. The great senior handicap, now run ning on its fifth day, has developed sev eral unique designs in mustache' culti | ration. Many of the senior men have assumed a nonchalant “yon may see what you can see” attitude, and are apparently sittin’ pretty with fond hopes in the success of a strong watchful waiting policy. The minute man barber shop, which worked so successfully on Kincaid field the day of the mix, was most instru mental in putting several noteworthy seniors on a level with the other multi tude of hopefuls — perhaps they were eliminated entirely, who knows? The victims were Jay Jacobson, Peewee Ed wards, Si Simola, Claire Holdredge, Bar ney Garrett and Dean Moore. Another rumor ?s also running rampant to the effect that Lyle Bryson, the of ficial tonsorial artist of the class, is con templating legal action against the min ute men barbers who operated the tongs at the mix, on' the-grounds that they held no official licenses which would per mit them thus to infringe on her prac tice. PROGRESSIVE DUE TO BE GIVEN OCT. 30 Women’s League to Aid Fund For Women’s Building. A “progressive” dance will be given by the women’s bouses, October 30,. as part of the Women’s League plans for raising of the last five thousand dollars for the Women’s building. Plans for the dance and other money-making projects were discussed at a meeting of the league in Villard hall Thursday evening. The dances will probably be sold for five cents apiece, and other money-getting devices will be decided upon later. Vivian Chandler, president of the league told the new girls about home coming week-end and announced the com mittee which is to take charge of the campus luncheon. This year the women expect to have to provide for about three thousand people. The committee is as follows: Ruth Flegal, chairman, Frederika Schilke, Wanda Daggett, Em ma Garbade, Eleanor Coleman and Flor ence Furuset. Dean Fox talked to the girls about the part the women play in campus life and urged them to uphold the former high standards of the University in both campus and social activities. Special election was held for the of fice of Women’s league reporter. Inez King was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. Miss Mildred Weeks was elect ed at the regular election in the spring, but failed to return to school this term.

SITS COMMITTEE Jazz Rally, Bonfire and Fire* works to Feature Friday Night of Week-end. ALUMNI TO RECEIVE FIRST CONSIDERATION Registration Booths and Free Transportation Will Be Provided. A real old-fashioned Homecoming with lots of the old time pep is what the com mittees plan for the alumni, former stu dents, and friends of the University when they come back for a day on No vember 13 to witness the big game with the University of Washington. The various committees are making more elaborate plans and are spending more money than ever before to make this Homecoming the biggest and best in the history of Homecomings at Ore gon. Special efforts are being made to make the former students and graduates and friends of the University feel-that they are coming home to college ffor a day. Football Staff Working Hard. The football coaching staff is burn ing midnight oil to figure out a combina tion which will trim the University of Washington in the biggest game of the season. For many years the varsity has always come through with the old Oregon fight and won the Homecoming game in spite of obstacles. The festivities start Friday evening when a big pep rally will be stagey! through the down town streets. Each house on the campus will have its own noise making machine and the houge which produces the most noise will re ceive a fitting prize. From the minute the college gang turns the corner at Eleventh and Willamette the town is go ing to bo one red flare. A special com mittee has hpen appointed to see that, plenty of fire works are on hand for the event. Bonfire to Feature. After the down town jazz rally the serpentine will lead back to the campus where the big freshman bonfire will il luminate Kincaid field for another bife show. Here stunts will be staged and old graduates will tell how it was dope in the good old days. Each of the mep-a houses on the campus is hard at work on an original stunt which will depict some angle of former games with Washington or some old Oregon tradition. President Campbell will introduce the members of the football team who will play against the Sundodgers the following day. ,“We are going to see that every former Oregon man and woman is made at home here during the week-end” is the word from the welcoming committee. As many cars as possible will be drafted in to service for the two days and will be marked “Official Alumni Cars,” and any alumnus friend, or former student will be at liberty to hail these cars any where down town or on the campus for transportation. Guides will meet all trains and everything will be done to help the Oregon graduate feel that he is home for the big day in the year. Alumni to Register. There will be a registration booth at Fifth and Willamette street where every alumnus is asked to register. , The dance tickets will be given out at this time to eliminate any confusion in hand ing them out later. The plan also calls for two booths on the campus, ope in Johnson hall and anotner In the men’s gymnasium. A special appeal is being made through the Chamber of Commerce to the citi zens of Eugene for as many rooms as will be needed to take care of ‘ the crowd. A special committee has this work in hand and every effort, is being made to keep out any petty profiteer ing. , As a climax to Homecoming week-end will be the dance to be held in the Arm ory down town which will not be formal.
