Warren Kays was previous ly appointed Assistant Business Man ager and Doc Braddock.

Two humorous publications from other universities, the “Froth” and ‘ Lyre” have been put on reserve in the library and those interested can obtain them at any time by calling at the desk.

Students are urged to contribute any humorous articles, poems, or jokes that may occur to them from time to time as it is necessary that there be a large amount of material on hand with which to work if the publication is to lie made a success. Gladys Platt Puzzles Over Game; Washington and Oregon Both Liked INTRODUCING GLADYS PLATT, as sistant in the cataloging department of the University library. If-there is one thing on earth that Gladys Platt dislikes more than any* other, she says, it is writing on a type writer. She explained that this is prob ably largely due to the fact that she. uses the hunt-and-peek system. Miss Platt graduated last year from the University of Washington, where she took a three year course in library work. She has lived most of her life in Idaho Falls, which is in the southeastern part of Idaho, and she went to Washington because a chum of lier’s was taking a course there and was eager to have Miss I'latt with her. l'he coming Washingtoh-Oregon game* presents a great problem to Miss Platt. She likes Oregon so well that she doesn’t feel like cheering for Washington, and on the other band, she can’t cheer for Oregon. Therefore, the only thing for her to do seems to be to keep still, and she thinks this will be hard to do. Miss Platt came to Eugene about the middle of last July, and with her she brought her younger sister, who is at tending the Eugene high school. They are making their home in town, and like it very much. The particular thing which Gladys Platt talks about most just now is her brother Dwight Platt, who is coming to see her almost any time. He has re cently been married, and due to the ex citement of this great event he com; pletely forgot to mention what train he would arrive on in the telegram that told of his coming. And, just because she didn’t want to leave O. A. 0. out, Miss Platt said that her brother Is a graduate of that school. E. W. HOMECOMING DUE CLIMUX OF OREGON'S 9REETINGTO HI Everything to be Informal, In Get-Together Atmosphere, Says Chairman Carl. TEN KINGS OF JAZZ WILL SUPPLY MUSIC Visitors First, Selves Next, Idea Committee Wishes To Get Across. * -- \ This year’s Homecoming dance which will he held at the Armory Saturday evening, November 13, is expected to prove the climax to one of the best dis plays of welcome and fellowship to the alumni ever held on the campus, accord ing to “Bib” Carl, chairman of the af fair. Practically all arrangements have now been made, he continues, and with the remaining days of the week in which to apply the finishing touches, everything should be in proverbial “apple-pie” or der next Saturday night. “Our Homecoming dance is not a merely student body dance,” Carl says. “It is a part of the Homecoming pro gram and constitutes the grand climax of Oregon’s spirit of W’eleomo and fellow ship to our alumni. In order to carry out this spirit, we must exchange dances with the old timers and absolutely refuse to trade them among ourselves until we arrive at the Armory. The thing we are trying to ‘put over’ is our apprecia tion of the visitors presence, not mere selfish enjoyment, and it must be them we think of first.” Ail Cxp«cted to Help, Kverythjng is to be as informal as possible.” he continued. "We expect to have a regular "get acquainted” sort of a party, and those who do not dance are expected to do their bit in helping carry the spirit of the week-end out by social intercourse with the old grads who are sitting in the balcony. There are many ariying them who have passed the danc ing age, and they, too. must be shown the. same spirit of welcome and good fellowship.” For the comfort of those attending, Carl says, arrangements are being made to eliminate the crowded conditions in the cloak rooms that have marred for mer affairs held at the Armory. Tickets for the affair, which starts promptly at 8 o’clock P. >M., may be se cured from the Y. M. C. A. hut and the Co-op store. The charge will be one dollar per couple, with no war tax. Alumni tickets, he says, may be obtained free from Don Davis or at the Co-op store. Jazz Kings Will Reign. "Ton of the best jazz kings in the Uni versity will sit in the orchestra pit Sat urday nigjit,” lie continued, “And will pour from their instruments, during the entire 12 dances, as classy a brand of music as we have ever listened to. It sure will he worth listening to!” Those aiding and assisting in the handling of the dance are as follows: Programs and features — Beatrice Crewdson, chairman; Marjorie Holiday, Dorothy Eakin; Music, cloak rooms, pa trons corner, etc. — Carl Newbury, chairman; Art Kunhausen. Aubrey Fur ry, Bob Sheppard. H. Beeman; Patrons and patronesses — Helen Nelson, Helen Carson. Dorothy Manville; Decorations —Claire Holdridge. chairman. The dec oration committee has been split into three divisions for ease of handling, the first of which is: Those securing dec orations; Bill Purdy, chairman; Boh Kelly, Remy Cox, Don McPhearson, Frank Carter; those putting up decora tions; Rollin Woodruff, chairman; Wayne Laird, Wanda Nelson, Cecil Smith, Mildred Apperson and Bill Cole man, and floor committee; Marc Lath am, chairman; Nelson English, and Rich ard Sundeleaf.

First string men who h'ave been injured previously during the season took advan tage of the fact that Oregon did not play Saturday and there will be no injuries to complain of' in the line-up which will face the Sundodgers. The University of Washington played practically a tie game against Stanford eleven, and barring “Dink” Templeton, the Cardinals could not have, scored. The Sundodgers also held O.A.C. in a like manner and in the last two games that the Northerners have lost all the scoring has been done by the aerial route. Teams Evenly Matched. According to all the available dope, which is pretty badly upset since Satur day, the game here this week will be be tween two very evenly matched teams. Washington lias been defeated but not by scores that would show the North erners to be weaker than the other coast teams, to any great extent. Oregon has only had one real test in which Stanford emerged victorious by a 10 to 0 score. The score in this game hardly told the story of the actual playing done, and if the dope holds Oregon is about on the same par with Washington. The Sundodgers are coming to Eu gene full of fight and pep, determined to defeat the lemon-yellow eleven. Oregon is going to trot onto Hayward field Saturday in the best trim that the team has been in this season. The coaching staff has been busy the last week in working out the best combinations for the game with the Northerners, there is not expected to be very many new faces in the Saturday line-up, although there may be some. Coach “Shy” Hunting ton is not as yet giving out any informa tion on this subject. It is known that he has been developing the drive into his field and making a smooth working machine out. of them and whatever com bination faces the Washington veterans Saturday, fight will always he there. Washington More Exeprienced. Washington has the advantage in ex perienced men, but this is not expected' to gain them anything. All told, Coach Huntington has ong letter man in his )>ackfield this season and four 'in his line positions; this means that there has been a world of difficulties to face in selecting the green men for the posi tions. Scrimmage practice will probably be continued this week until about Wednes day evening when the rest of the week will he devoted to light signal workouts and final conditioning for the big strug gle. The entire squad lias been put through a pretty stiff program of scrim mage the past week including scrub scrimmage and mixes with the Frosli eleven. The Frosh cannot he expected to furnish the opposition this week on account of their big annual game with the O. A. C. rooks which will take place Thursday afternoon. CLUBS FIGHT COMBINATION. Controversy rages at the University of Washington over the amalgamation of the two oldest honorary societies on the campus. The Oval Club, the oldest honorary society on the campus, refused to combine with the Quad Club, follow ing a stormy session. FREEZING FROSH KEEP WATCH OVER BONFIRE Guardians of Homecoming Pyre Pass Long Cold Night Playing and Talking. Armed with overcoats. Manketa, "hot dogs,” cookies, and plenty of Oregon Spirit, eleven freshmen reported for bon fire guard duty on Kincaid field Saturday night. The first part of the evening was spent in cards (Methodist five hundred) and story telling. Along toward mid night a series of impromptu debates be gan on such important subjects as cap ital punishment and the racial question, .‘•Texas” Higgenbotham taking an ag gressive part in each discussion. Here the writer of this article fell nlseep, and when he awoke the discus sion had turned to edibles of the mollusk family, such as oysters, clams, and snails. Higgenbotham was describing a denizen of Texas which he calls the "gooey duck.” This, he claimed, is considered a great delicacy by the natives of the Lone Star State. At the close of this lively discussion some of the boys endeavored to snatch “forty winks,” but the temperature of the atmosprere was not conducive to slumber, and the remainder of the night wns spent trying to keep warm. At f> o’clock a lottery system deter mined who should have the privilege of retiring to downy beds, the two unlucky ones remaining on guard until 8 o’clock, when they were relieved by the day shift. Shifts of two men each were on duty all day Sunday, and about ten frosb took the field Sunday night. Student Falls From Truck and Is Run Over. Velma Ross, of Marshfield, suffered a spraine^ knee and ankle and severe cuts and bruises when she was run over by a trailer drawn by a truck at the corner of Fifteenth and Hilyard Satur day afternoon. She was taken to the hospital, but later removed to the .Tames Pearson home on Mill street, when it. had been determined that her injuries were not serious. iM.iss Ross was a member of a picnic party which left the Pi Beta Phi house at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. At Fif teenth and Tlilyard the end-gate of the truck broke, and Miss Ross who was leaning against it. fell to the street.. The trailer, in which about 20 persons were riding, passed over her right leg and just missed passing completely over her body. Miss Ross is a pledge of Pi Beta Phi. ALL SECURITIES SOLD FOR MUSIC BUILDING The entire $75,000 worth of securities to build the new music. building have Ix^en sold in the first week's campaign, according to Dean H. Walker, chairman of the committee for selling the bonds. Mr. Walker, who was on the campus Monday and made his report to the pres ident’s office, says that, about $05,000 of the securities were taken by business , men in Kugene, and about $10,000 by students and members of the University faculty. The fact that the banks took a. large part of the business men’s share make it possible for friends of the insti tution, who lmve not. already subscribed, to do so as the hanks are willing to re call the bonds at any time. DEADY PORTRAIT HUNG Gift to University Replaces Old Faded Picture of Noted Regent. A new portrait of Judge Matthew P. Deady has been hung in Villnrd hall.
