VARSITY FOUL TEAM OFF TOHIGHT TO MEET STANFORD Trip South Will Be Made by Seventeen Players and Coaching Staff. SIX FIRST-STRING MEN SUFFER FROM INJURIES “Shy” Declares Game Will Be One of Hardest Battles of Season.

The Oregon varsity will retire to their sleeper at 10, but Yell Leader Keeney expects to in duce the coaching staff and the players to make a few remarks to the “Thundering Thousand’’ before the varsity curfew sounds. “I want every member of the Thundering Thousand there,” says the varsity yell king, “which means every man and woman in the University. Wc must let the varsity know that we are backing them every minute they are at Palo Alto.” With nix out of the eleven first string men who started the game against Ida ho last Saturday, badly injured and the chances poor that more than three of these will be able to play in the game against Stanford, seventeen players arid the coaching staff will leave tonight from the Southern Pacific depot for Palo Alto, where they meet the Cardinals Saturday afternoon. Three of the backfield which started • lie game against Idaho, received injuries which have kept them out of practice so far this week. Captain “Hill” Steers received injuries to his knee, “Hill” Rine hart has a badly wrenched ankle and "Frankie” Hill has an injured leg and wrist. In addition to these injuries are those of the linemen, Howard has an injured shoulder, Mautss is suffering from a badly bruised back, while Shields has a “charley horse” which bids fair to keep him out of the game. Varsity in Bari Shape. Stanford had an easy game last Sat urday and from all reports is in first class shape to enter the game, the Ore gon team is in the worst shape that it has me on all season.- According f,o Coach Huntington, the game Saturday (Continued on Page 2) DRESS SUITED TYROS TO SPEAK ON CAMPUS Journalism Fraternity Will Initiate Fivo New Pledges on Library Steps Thursday. No, the five men whom you will see trotting around the campus Thursday morning elad formally in dress suits will not be typical- college sports, who have been to an all-night formal and didn’t have time to change their clothes before they came to classes! And when they begin to elocutc from the library steps, don’t get the idea that some kind of a political meeting is being started. They will be neither gay wild sports nor scheming politicians. They will be the initiates of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity. • In accordance with the time honor ed custom of Sigma Delta Chi, the five men recently elected will not only have to attend classes all day Thursday in | dress suits but will also have to make j speeches from the library steps and put out the Friday morning edition of the Emerald entirely by themselves.

DEAN FOX EXTENDS THANKS Miss Elizabeth Fox wishes to convey through the Emerald her appreciation of the many expressions of sympathy and affection extended her at this time of her sorrow in the death of her moth er. Miss Fox regrets that she cannot thank each of these friends personally. I Young, Psychologic Highbrow Decks Upper Lip . With Eyebrow INTRODUCING KIMBALL YOUNG. • He is at once tbe inspiration and de *t>u*t of the seniors. He has set a goal Ihey despair of attaining, and yet his ex ample encourages them in their “watcli lut waiting” policy. Professor Young exhibits a mustache which, while of no great size, is of the most fashionable cut and coloring. Light salmon-blonde it is. Kimball Young expressly states that he is no relation to Clara Kimball Y'oung. the movie star, and at present harbors no aspiration to twinkle in that profes *iou\ _ _ '■ His aspiration, in fact, is quite fue re moved. He is teaching “that study whose • ask it is to point out and organize tbe observable facts of conscious life, and to lormnlate the theories, or hypotheses, necessary to explain these facts.” There! Do you know what that is? About. 75 per cent of his class didn’t in • he last quizz. It is the text-book defini tion of psychology, so perhaps you had better cut this out and put it in your _ notebook, along with those cute little diagrams Professor Young draws on the board for his classes. Mr. Young “got Ids start” at the Uni versity of Utah, took his M. A. at the University of Chicago, taught at the Weber Normal School in Ogden, and went to Stanford to do his Ph. D. work. He has it all done but his thesis, and he is working on that now. It's awfully high- j brow—all about racial psychology and the study of foreign groups in the public J schools. Mr*. Young said he was beginning to think that a sunny day in Oregon was like a “happy island surrounded by rain,” but we immediately assured him that this weather is most unusual and it hasn’t rained so much for forty years.” Then he hastened to add that he was delighted to be here, that the weather was splendid for study and that the reception given him by the faculty and students made him feel at home. You see. he has caught the “Oregon Spirit" and is already one of us. M. L. B. Who Will It Be, Cox or Harding?.

Bal lots were printed yesterday afternoon, and will be passed out to voters all day today by members of the Emerald staff detailed to oversee the balloting. A sepa rate box will be stationed in front of the library for faculty votes. Political clubs have been priming their members for the past week for the straw vote, and it is expected that the ballot boxes will be busy from early morn ing until closing time. From previous votes held at the University, it is probable that the results may prove to be a safe prediction of what will happen in the state of Oregon on November 2. Final rallies of campus political clubs were scheduled for last night. Due to a mix-up, the Democratic meeting failed to materialize, although several him 44444444444444444 ♦ ♦ ♦ IMPORTANT FACTS CONCERN- 4 ♦ ING EMERALD STRAW VOTE. 4 ♦ Ballot boxes will be placed on a ♦ 4 table outside the library. 4 ♦ One box will be for faculty votes, 4 ♦ and one for student votes. 4 ♦ Each voter must sign his own 4 4 name to the ballot.

I). degree. He spent some time as head of Montana State Normal school at Dillon, Montana.

The Re publican rally resulted in a large turn out of Harding supporters the same evening. “The league of nations, (lie inefficien cy of the present administration, and the protective tariff are the three big reasons why the Democratic candidates should not be elected,’ ’stated ex-Seuatpr ,1. .1. C'rossely, of Iowa, at the Republican rally in the V. M. C. A. hut. He is making a tour of the Northwest in the interest of the Republican candi dates and was secured for last night’s meeting by the campus Harding club. The speaker scored the Versailles covenant because he said it surrendered the freedom of the seas, freedom of dip lomatic intercourse, and further declared that “if the United States senate never did anything good in its existence, it did a service to humanity when it refused to ratify the league of nations’covenant as it stood.” Mr. (Vosscly, who was a member of the Rainbow division during the war in France, emphatically stated that he fa vored any form of a league in which we would not lose our sovereignty, but that he was unalterably opposed to the cove nant as it now stands. Citing the situation in Poland, he de clared that if the senate had ratified the league when President AVilson asked, our soldiers would now be fighting in Europe. If Harding and Coolidgc are elected and have the backing of a Republican congress the Panama canal tolls will be repealed, water transportation rates from the Pacific Northwest will be re duced and the critical condition of our lumber and wool industries will be rem edied, said Mr. Crossely. He also emphasized the importance of the election of Robert N. Stanfield to the senate from Oregon. A (puirtet composed of Laura Rand, Marvel Skeels, Arthur Johnson, and Har ris Ellsworth led the meeting in the sing iug of patriotic songs.

It Is estimated that about 400 men on the campus are not affiliated with any housing organizations.

According to Barney Garrett, presi dent, it is the purpose* of tin* club to unite the men living outside of campus organizations into an intimate group, with representation in intramural contests and forensic activities.

CONSTRUCTION PLAN TO COVER FIVE YEARS Completion to Plade Oregon on Equal Basis With Other Institutions j 'I’liu alumni, former students and friends of the University of Oregon who are coming back for the week-end on November 13, when the varsity will dash with the “Kundodgers” from Washington, will see $700,000 worth of bnildings un der construction on the campus, the first installment of a five-year building pro gram. The five-year building program as outlined calls for $1,250,000 to be spent; in new buildings, repairs of old ones, and otherwise putting the buildings and grounds in the best of condition so that the University of Oregon will meas ure up with any of the colleges of the Pacific slope for beauty, modern grounds and buildings. More money is being spent this year in putting up new buildings and installing modern equipment than has been spent since the University was first founded. The immense step toward a permanent building program is the result of the mill age bill in which the citizens of Oregon showed their faith in Oregon’s education al system. This year $700,000 worth of new buildings are under construction, $100,000- oi which is to he carried over — into nest year on buildings which have been started this fall. Traditions Recalled. The buildings on the campus for which every Oregon man and woman has a ten der spot in their hearts will have to take a lesser place when these modern build ings are completed. Deady hall, which at one time housed the entire University, ionly cost the citizens of Oregon $50,000. Villard hall, now one of the most beau tiful buildings on the campus, with its ivy towers, cost the state only $30,000. McClure hall, which now houses the psy chology, chemistry and a part of the de partment of journalism, cost the state at the time of construction, about $25, 000. The new women’s building, which will he completed about the first of January, will cost in round numbers about $325, 000. This is one of the most modern and imposing buildings on the Oregon campus. It was designed by the school of architecture and is being built under instructions from that department. uommerco Building Planned. All of the buildings now under con struction arc furnishing the school of ar chitecture with first-hand aud practical problems. The new commerce building, which will house the school of commerce early in the beginning of next term, is estimated to cost $110,000 completed. This build ing is a brick structure and forms a part of the quadrangle on the corner of Kin caid and Thirteenth avenue. Recently the University purchased what is known as the Gale Tract, which is a strip of land between the cemetery and Alder street. There are about three and a half acres in this property. The new home of the school of music is to be built on that tract. It is estimated that about $75,000 will be spent in erecting the new buildings and paying for the property, which cost the University $0000. The women’s open air gymnasium is being remodeled into offices for the jour nalism department and for the use of other departments which have been with out suitable headquarters for some time. A new boiler is being installed in the engine room to heat these new buildings. The campus this fall has the appear ance of a permanent city being built in a day. The sound of hammers is heard on every angle. The home-comers who will lie here for the game and program on November 115 will be taken around on a tour of inspection of these buildings, which are putting historic Villard and Dcndy in the background.
