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.
Tonight overy man and woman of
the University is asked tb march in
a rally parade to the depot to give
the Oregon varsity a fitting send-off
for its game with Stanford, to be
played Saturday at Palo Alto. The
parade forms at the library at 9:15
p. m., proceeding through town to
the depot, where yells and songs will
be given. 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

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.
The men who-will be seen playing the
parts of blase society fiends are Ray
mond Vaster, Harry Ellis, John Dier
dorff and Carlton Logan.

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.

(he University at the older hoys’ confer
ence of Southwestern Oregon, held in
Roseburg, October 22 to 24, under the

“The Four-Square Man,” signifying the
social, physical, service and spiritual
sides of life.

work and llal Donnelly spoke on the sub
ject, “Man’s Object in Life.” The plan
of organizing the M. U. A. in the high
schools us they now exist in the univer
sities and colleges was considered.
The University whs the only school of
higher education to be represented, and
the delegates made the best of the op
portunity to instil enthusiasm for Oregon
in the 12.” boys that were there.
Those representing the University
were: llal Donnelly, Roy Veatch, Robert
McConnell, Don Zimmerman, Howard
Bailey and Charles Spere.
DEMOCRATS ARE FEW.
The meeting of the Cox-Roosevelt
dub which was scheduled for 7 I*. M.
yesterday evening, was postponed owing
to tile fact that too few supporters of
the Democratic ticket were on hand to
constitute a meeting. Further plans, it
was said, would be announced later.

ment of physics, who will act in various
capacities, are the following: Marcus

Last Minute Political Rallies Held Last Night
Expected to Instill Enthusiasm and
Pep Into Balloting at Campus
Polling Place Today
The big presidential straw vote is on!
From S o’clock this morning until 3 this afternoon, every student of the Uni
versity and every member of its faculty is expected to cast a ballot for a presi
dential candidate and to indicate his stand on the league of nations covenant. 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

Dr. Bagley, Teachers’ College,
Is Able Speaker.
The Thursday assembly will be ad
dressed by Ur. W. C. Barley, of the fae
ult.v of Columbia Teachers’ College.
I)r. Bagley is the author of several of
the most popular books oil education,
says Dr. Sheldon, among which are “Hu
man Behavior,” and “Craftmanship in
Education.” He studied under Titchener
at Cornell, where he earned his i'll. I).
degree. He spent some time as head of
Montana State Normal school at Dillon,
Montana. In 11110, he left this position
to become dean of the school of educa
tion at the University of Illinois, where
he remained until 1018, when he joined
the Columbia Teachers’ College faculty.
Dr. Bagley is making an extended trip
through the Northwest, speaking at most
of tin* universities and colleges. His
topics have not been announced, hut he
will probably speak on a phase of his
work, says Dr. Sheldon.
Phi Kappa Delta and the Women’s
Educational Club will entertain Dr. Bag
ley at dinner at the Hotel Osbnrn on
Wednesday evening. ,
(1ml enthusiastic members of the Cox
Uoosevelt club responded to the call for
a Democratic rally last night. 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.
CLUB MEMBERS WANTED
Committee Starts Drive Among Men Not
in Organizations.
At ii special meeting of the Men’s
Oregon Chib held in the Y hut last night,
it was decided that the membership drive
should begin immediately. The member
ship committee composed of I’hil Brogan,
Roy Veateh and Charles Evans, was in
creased by twelve assistants.
It Is estimated that about 400 men on
the campus are not affiliated with any
housing organizations. These men scat
tered throughout the city of Eugene, are
taking little part in recreational or com
petitive work.
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.
