dance was, and what a glorious good
time everyone had.
The dance was the annual get-together
of the women of the University. The
freshman girls were escorted to the af
fair by upper-class girls, and according
to Frances McGill, who was in charge of
the dance, several hundred girls gath
ered for the occasion.
The afternoon was spent in dancing,
eating ice cream cones, and giving hilar

peppiest affairs of the season, and de
lightfully informal.
The chaperons for the afternoon were
Dean Elizabeth Fox, Miss Gertrude Tal

a very small child, two or three

commonwealth.

Presbyterian church of Eugene, he gave

or more of the regents to tlie campus.
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.

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.
Nancy Fields made a short speech
about Oregon Club of Women’s league,
a club consisting of girls living outside
of organized groups. The club was or
ganized last year, but was not kept up
during the entire year. It is expected
that it will be revivecLand will again be
come a strong organization. A meet
ing of all girls living outside of organ
ized groups is called for 5:00 in Villard
hall next Monday evening.
CRAFTSMEN WILL ELECT
First Meeting of Year Announced .For
This Evening.
For the purpose of electing officers to
fill vacancies made by the failure of a
number of men to return to the campus
this year. Craftsmen, composed of Ma
sons on the campus, will hold the first
meeting of the year this evening at 7:30
in Dean Straub’s room. Any new men
eligible to membership are asked to
come.
Craftsmen was organized on the T'ni
versity campus last year, the member
ship including about 50 men. A visit
will be paid shortly to the Eugene lodge
and the meeting tonight will offer a
chance of getting organized before that
, time.
OLD TIME PEP TO
HELP HOMECOMING.
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.
