(Continued on I’age 2) MOTION PICTURES ARE FOUND FASCINATING Senior Decides to Be Scenario Writer After Summer's Experience in Hollywood. Wilbur Ilulin, of Eugene, a senior in the University, spent last summer in Hollywood, California, as a guest of Clyde Fillmore, an old Oregon graduate, who is now a Laskey star.

Mr. Hulin is interested in the picture game, particularly from the standpoint of scenario writing. He hopes to make this his profession after he is graduated from Oregon. ITis work last summer lias given him something of an entree into the field, through his acquaintance with several scenario writers, including Dc Mille’s and Clara Kimball Young’s special scenario writers, and the scenario editor of the Laskey corporation.

He says he always hates to tell the truth about this because some day some body might see his garden. “I am a product of the Grande Ronde valley,” says Mr. Kilpatrick. “1 came to i the University in 1!KM>. and stayed here three years, doing a little studying during that time, and engaged in some student activities.” Mr. Kilpatrick was editor of the Em erald. which was then called the “Oregon Weekly.” During the year that he was editor a great effort was uiaclc to put the paper out on a twice a week basis, and at the end of the year this was finally accomplished. After his graduation Mr. Kilpatrick was principal of the first union high school in Oregon at Pleasant Hill. This school was the model for the several dozen country high schools which now flourish in the state. Following this he was successively principal of the schools in Oakland, Su lem and Spriugficld. Finally he came to the University as assistant director in the extension division. The second year he was made director of the division, and then left the University on a leave of ab sence to do Red Cross work in Seattle. Here lie was the division manager of the northwestern division of the Red Cross. In June. 1920, he returned to his work at the University. E- W. j FUCULTY TO TIKE UP 10 SEMESTER PLAN Committee Under Dr. Boynton Will Make a Complete Report No/. 4. 12-WEEK PERIOD IS SHORT, SOME ASSERT 'System! Now in Use Conflicts With State High School Schedules. Whether the University will continue its work on the term basis, or whether it will go hac kto the semester plan, is a matter which will he discussed and settled at a faculty meeting on Thursday, No vember 4, provided the committee, of which Dr. Boynton is chairman ,is ready with its report on the situation. According to Dr. Boynton, the fairly even balance of arguments for both sys tems makes it difficult to decide. Tin; term plan, which was adopted in the fall of 1017. was recommended by the gov ernment as a war measure, and at this time seemed to be an experiment well worth trying. Each year the matter has been reconsidered, and at each time has been laid on the table for a subsequent meeting. At the faculty meeting on Jan uary 26. 1020. the final decision was post poned. and the committee was asked to have its report in shape by fall. Expansion Era at Hand. The urgency, of reaching some conclu sion in the matter has developed because of the rapid progress the University is making .and the fact that a new era of expansion in Some of the departments is at hand. Dr. Boynton, who is also chair man of the catalog committee, is anxious to have the catalog issued early this year, and in order to accomplish this, must know upon which basis the University work will continue. One of the arguments for the term plan, Dr. Boynton says, is that it enables the students and teachers to finish up their work when the big interruptions in attendance occur. These interruptions are at the Christmas and Spring holidays. The greatest disadvantage of this sys tem is that the periods are so short, and necessitate so many examinations. In the 12-week terms the professors find it hurd to take up the new work and then find time for reviews. There is also a noticeable conflict between the arrange ment of high school and college courses making it necessary for some students to enter the University in January, before graduating from high school, or else wait ing until the spring term or even until full. California Swings Back. Chicago and Stanford universities adopted the term system and because of their summer sessions, which are of sub stantially the same length as the other quarters, there is a large preponderance of arguments in favor of the quarterly plan, Dr. Boynton declares. The Univer sity of Washington decided to remain permanently on the term basis, while the University of California, after tin; war, went hack to the semester basis. Other members of the committee be sides Dr. Boynton are: Dean Sheldon. Professor DeCou, Professor Gilbert, and Professor McAlister. CREDIT FOR DEBATE ASKED BY STUDENTS Bib Carl Appointed by Forensic Council to Confer With President Campbell and Dean Dymcnt. In making plans for the doughnut de bate league, ltemcy Cox called a meeting of the forensic council Thursday after noon. It was decided that nothing defi nite he worked out until it is found wheth er credit will be given to students who engage in these debates. Bib Car! was appointed to confer with President Camp bell and Dean Dymeut. in the hope that such credit will be secured. Considerable work is involved in pre paring these debates and the council feels that contestants should be awarded for it. If it is not allowed, the matter of contin uing the debates in the doughnut league will be referred to the student council. FIREWORKS RIILY PLANNED 10 GREET HOMEGOMING GRADS Bonfire, Noise and Stunts Will Enliven Evening Before Game With U. of W. DANCE AT ARMORY TO END ANNUAL REUNION Affair Will Not Be Formal; Students Requested Not to Make Programs. If things go off us they are now planned the opening night of Homecom ing week-end will make Eugene feel like Pqmpeii did during the eruption of Alt. Vesuvius. A rally such as we have nev er had before, spirited on with red fire, luminous fireworks and good old Oregon fight, is designed, according to Lyle Bar tholomew, head of the rally committee, to keep early-to-bedders awake for hours, let alone the commotion the freshmen in tend to stir up when they light their bon fire. which is to rival, both in height and grandeur, tin* largest one Oregon has ever witnessed. The well known fire of 1015 was fifty-five feet high. The rally is all-important in getting the week-end started off right, stated John Houston last night at the meeting of the Homecoming committee, and if this event should be poor it will dampen the spirit of the entire week-end. According to Carlton Savage, president of the A. S. U. O., Dean Straub plans to buy $175 worth of fireworks for the occasion. The freshman class will give $50 towards this, as will also the student body, the rest of the money will come from the other classes: As ye tit has not been definitely decided exactly where the bonfire is to be located, but it will probably be on Kin caid as before. Snappy Program Promised. Stunts by the various houses are being planned for the rally. The names will be handed in soon .and only the best is to be put on. The program is to'be snappy, not to drag, and will be as original as is pos sible. Efforts to get Johnny Beckett, Don Orput and other well known “alums” back to talk at this time are being made. Probably one of the best features of tlie program, which has never been jmlled before, is the plan to get all of the Order of the “O” men back at this time to march around the football field before the game starts. Efforts are being made to get in touch with as many of these Ore gonians as possible to get them to bring their football sweaters to wear at this event. No War Tax on Dance. The jilaus for the dance are almost completed, according to “Bib” Carl and arrangements have been made with the government so that there will be no war tax on the admission. The patrons and patronesses have been asked, and pro gams are being worked out. A nine-piece orchestra has been obtained for the occa sion. “This dance"is not to be a propo sition where the students are showing the best of the University,” said Carl, “but a good informal party, not rough neck, hut a good time for the “alums.” The students are urged not to make out their programs before going to the dance this year, as they did last, for many an alumni^ could not get his program filled last year under these conditions. We must create a ‘feeling of friendliness and see tjiat the guests have their programs (Continued on Page 2) ♦ ♦ ♦ Students who are remaining in ♦ ♦ Eugene over the week-end will be ♦ ♦ able to keep tab on important foot- ♦ ♦ ball games during this afternoon, us ♦ ♦ arrangements have been made by ♦ ♦ the Emerald to furnish information ♦ ♦ to football fans through different ♦ + sources.

The ten-minute limitation on speakers will be followed at all the forutn gather ings, suys the secretary, and the open discussion will follow thus giving every one an opportunity to express his views. Future meetings of the organization will limit the evening’s discussion to one topic, but three questions are on the program for the meeting of Monday night owing to the near approach of the election and the great amount of iuterest manifested in the various state measures that appear on the ballot. ( Discussion Non-Partisan. The University forum will in no way boeoino a political organization, according to those interested in the movement, but is planned to discuss freely all political questions regardless of party lines and endeavor to arouse campus interest iii public yiuestion and lend the students to take more interest in present-day prob lems. The faculty is acting with the students in the matter of organization and arc lending their efforts to make the new forum a permanent institution on the campus, which they predict will prove of great interest and benefit to the entire student body. *♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* ♦ ♦ ♦ ATTENTION, BAND MEN! ♦ ♦ - ♦ ♦ All members of the R.
