INCREASE IS 20 PER CENT
Estimated Year Total For All
Departments Is 5457;
Growth Rapid
At five o’clock yesterday afternoon
2034 students had completed registration
in the University and late enrollments
next week are expected to swell the total
to at ceast 2100. This includes the 150
students in the medical school at Port
land, which is a part of the University
proper. On tne Eugene campus alone
1884 students have registered.
This is an increase of 384 over the
number who had registered by this time
last year, according to Canton Spencer,
registrar. The final enrollment will be
20 per cent greater than that of last
year, he stated yesterday. The total en
rollment for the year, including summer
sessions, extension classes, correspondence
work and music specials will be 5457, ac
cording ot a careiul estimate made b
Mr. Spencer.
2200 Are Expected
The total enrollments on tne campus
for the year will be close to 2200, in the
opinion of the registrar. Last year
more than 200 students enrolled at tin
beginning of the fall and .winter terms
and even more are expected this year.
The total number of students who regis
tered on the campus last year was 1891.
Sue a a large increase in the student
body comes somewhat as a surprise t<>
those connected with the University. Al
though it has been known fur some time
that the freshman class would in all
probability be considerably larger than
that of last year it was feared that fi
nancial conditions would prevent many
old students from returning to the cam
pus. Between 75 and SO per cent of last j
year’s students, not -counting the gradu-,
ates, have returned, according to Dean 1
Colin V. Dyment, who has made careful 1
observations along this line.
Freshmen Number 700 '
No figures are as yet available on the
number in the various classes but Eng
lish registrations indicate that there are
at least 700 freshmen on the campus. It
is estimated that 300 first year men
took part in the freshman parade Thurs
day afternoon and more than 50 were out
for frosh football.

NEW FILMS EXPECTED
BY EXTENSION DIVISION
Dutch Government Lends 12 Films
of Holland Industrial and
Scenic Views
The extension division is awaiting the
arrival, within the next few days, of
60 new reels of motion picture films
from Washington, D. C. These will be
ready for circulation next week and to
gether with the films which were in
use last year there will be over 130
reels.
Among the new reels there will be 12
loaned to the University by the Dutch
Government, mainly industrial and
scenic films on picturesque Holland and
the Dutch East Indias. Another film
which was new last spring and which,
it is thought, will prove very popular
is the Olympic Games of last year.
With these new films the extension
division is planning to do a much great
er work along this line than ever before.
The films are loaned. to the various
schools in the state free of charge and
as nearly as possible their preference
as the nature of the pictures is followed.
8cenie films have proved most popular
iu the past.
25’S HAVE PRESIDENT
But He Can’t be Ducked
ANOTHER TRADITION?
Ralph Bailey, new president of the
Frosh class is not going to be ducked,
if Dean Straub and the Frosh class can
establish a new tradition. “A Frosh
president is no fool” said Dean Straub
in commenting upon the usual pro
ceedure of millracing the newly elected
leader of the first year men, and the
Frosh shook their heads in approval.
At the conclusion of the counting of
the votes at Villard hall last night,
Bailey, who is from Salem, Oregon, was
[ escorted home by a body guard of some
fifty members of the Class of 1925.
‘‘I do not know how I am especially
qualified to hold down the position of
president,” orated Bailey after the
election “But if the pee-rade is any
qualification whatsoever, I know how
to stand in line.” Bailey has been on
the state championship debating team
for the last three years, and has made
an instant hit with his constituants.
Burt Havues of Portland was elected
vice president of the class, while Geral
dine Root and Albert Sargeant, both of
Portland, will fill the offices of secre
tary and treasurer.
Joe Kllis, member of the Froph foot
ball squad, was also nominated to hold
the job as leader of the yearlings but
did not appear at the assembly, stay
ing out on Kincaid field with the foot
ball squad, and consequently lost out in
the election.
Dean Straub opened the affair with
that one about his having piled up
Mount Hood and dug the cellar for
Deady hall back in ’78 or thereabouts,
and it was received very enthusias
tically. However, the tenor of all the
Dean’s statements reverted back to the
that every Frosh president has been
ducked in the mill race, and that it was
about time a new tradition was estab
lished.
OPEN HOUSE TO BE TONIGHT
VISITS FIXED AT 18 MINUTES BY
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE
Oregon Club to use Woman’s Building
Visit Schedules Made For
Men’s Organizations
The annual custom of “open house”
is to be observed this year as in pre
vious years, in spite of the rumors to
the contrary.
The advent of the bigger-than-ever
crop of “bigger and better” and the in
creasing. number of organizations to
visit and to be visited, make it neces
sary for each men’s organization to
follow a definite schedule and observe
the time limit carefully.
Open houie will begin Saturday even
ing at seven o’clock and will be over
by eleven-thirty. Every men’s organi
zation is to be allowed ten minutes at
the liou.se of every girl’s organization,
and eight minutes in which to collect,
overcoats and hats and reach the next
house. Hie allotted ten minutes may be j
devoted to dancing, if dancing is1
desired.
Girl’s organizations will entertain in
their respective houses, and the women
of the Oregon Club will use the Wo
man’s Building.
Plans for open house and tie
schedules which are to be given to each
men’s organization to follow were made
by a committee on student affairs, com
posed of members of the faculty and
student representatives. Careful obser
vance of the schedule should prevent to
a large extent the congestion on front
steps, prevalent in former years.
D. G.'S CALM IN FIRE
Eat Dinner While Men Fight Flames
On Roof of Building
Chaos, smoke, fire engines, Phi Delts
S. A. E. ’s and a miscellany of Sigma
Chis failed to disturb the Delta Gammas
at a peaceful dinner a few evenings ago,
according to a rumor verified by a
telephone interview with a prominent
member of that organization.
Sparks from a chimney blaze set
several shingles afire on the Delta
Gamma roof and the conflagration was
discovered by the Phi Delts who turned
in an alarm and put out the incipient
disaster with wet towels while wait
ing for the E. F. D. During this inter
val, said the party interviewed, the
girls kept their places at the table and
not until the fire fighters arrived in
their red automobile did they believe
the excitement anything but a joke.
After the fire department and the
University of Oregon student body had
dispersed the D. G. ’s issued forth to
view the charred remains but thanks
to the prompt application of cold, wet
towels the building was still intact.
So many hoaxes have been perpetr
ated on th* Delta Gammas in previous
years, including a well staged robbery,
that they have evidently become ac
climated to trivial disturbances.
EQUIPMENT TO BE AMONG BEST
WEST OE ILLINOIS
Mui' Pill Epsilon and Hammer and
Coffin to Have Rooms in
New Structure
The new music building, although not
vet complete, is already one of the
artistic features of the Oregon campus.
On the lower floor are the general of
fice, the office of Dean Landsbury, the
studios of Mrs. Beck and Professor
Evans, and the main lecture room. The
latter is most attractive as it is on
the south side of the building, and
almost the entire south wall is made up
of large windows, At the north side,
next to the main auditorium, is the
lounge for both students and faculty.
It is a large room and French doors
opening onto the west balcony. It
attractively furnished* in tones of old
blue and brown.
The auditorium, when completed, will
have a seatfcig capacity of odd. The
balcony is so arranged as not; to extend
over any port of the main auditorium.
When this auditorium is completed the
University of Oregon will have one of
the best equipped music biddings west
of Illinois.
The second bloor contains studios
for the instructors in voice, piano, ami
violin, as well as practice rooms. Mu
Phi Epsilon, national honorary music
fraternity for women, will have an at
tractive home here. Lemon Puncch,
chapter of Hammer and Coffin, the
society whicch lias charge of the publi
cation of the University comic maga
zine, will also have a room on the
second floor of the musice building.
The soundproof walls are one of the
most valuable features of the new
building.
FROSH’S SOCKS CAUSE RIOT
White Hosiery, Oxfords, With R. O.
T. O. Uniform Arouses Soph’s Ire
Bebe Daniels walking down the main
“drag” of Zion City in a one piece
bathing suit would not cause as much
of i riot as did an aspiring frosh from
the Oregon fish metropolis when he ap
peared on the campus all dressed up in
hi3 R. O. T. C. uniform, a pair of brand
new oxfords and pretty white socks.
Before he could reach the protecting
walls of the so-called soldier factory
several vicious sophomores piped the
white foot covering and the Frosh
fashion plate came to grief.
When the green capper emerged from
the melee a decided change had taken
place in his attire for the pretty white
socks had disappeared and his puttees
were all awry.
Although still grieving over the rude
interruption of his Lady Duff Gordon
act the victim has decided to wear more
conventional foot-gear next time.
Annual Campaign for Funds
Has For Its Goal Strong
Association Leader
24 SOLICITORS TO WORK
Teams Headed by Von der Ahe
And Veatch to Vie in
Chase for Cash
Spurred by the prospect of bringing
here one of the strongest Y. M. C. A.
workers in the United States as secre
tary, the University Y. M. C. A. will
begin its annual financial campaign
Monday noon. On whether sufficient
money can be raised rests the question
of whether the man in view, L. P.
Putnam, now religious work director
| of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., can be
brought to Oregon.
The campaign will be continued un
til Wednesday. The pledges made by
students last spring will be collected
during the campaign, and all freshmen
ami those of the older students not
here last term will be solicited for ■
funds.
The campus responded last year so
well that Hal Donnelly was persuaded
to stay. However, this summer he re
ceived a fine offer as head of boys .
work for the Presbyterian churches of
the United States, and although deeply
regretting to leave the University, de
cided to accept. He is now with the
head offices, n Philadelphia, having
left hero about six weeks ago.
Strong Man Available
Shortly after, the committe in
charge had the great fortune of getting
a chance at Mr. Putnam, reputed from
many sources to be the strongest, man
on the staff of the central “ Y” at ;
Chicago, where he is religious work
director. Before the war he was met
ropolitan student secretary for Chicago,,
with fifteen or twenty institutions'
under him. The opportunity of the .
University to secure him for the cam
pus -‘V" arose from his desire to get
back into student work and to get, lo
cated on the coast.
Faculty and townsmen are making a
tremendous effort to meet Putnam's
proposition, but the outcome hinge
almost entirely on the response of the
st udents.
SI,000 More Needed
The backing given to the organiza
tion was good last year, but more
money must come, and the men who arc
planning the present campaign desire
not only to collect ail the money
pledged last spring, but also to raise
$1000 more among the new men and
those not reached last year. This will
mean an average of three dollars a ]
man, the amount which was raised last
year.
The “Y” is a student organization
entirely directed by student officers
and responsible to no one else. Employ
inent is furnished on a large scale, the
stag mix and other social events are j
planned and financed by it, the “Y" |
school is conducted, the handbook is j
printed annually, and much campus and
community service is carried on. The j
best speakers who come to the campus j
are brought by “Y” money. To do ;
these things a considerable fund is i
required.
Two Teams Forming
The campaign is to be run on a corn !
petative plan, and two teams are being
organized under the leadership of Karl
Von der Ahe and Boy Veatch. Each
team will consist of twelve men, and !
these twenty-four solicitors will include
one man from each fraternity house,
two from Friendly hall, and eight on
the campus at large,
luncheon at the “Y” hut Monday noon,
The teams will get together at a
at which time the campaign will be I
launched. Another meal will be served
Wednesday noon, when a final check
will be made on the results of the drive.

CLASSROOM OF STUDENT
NEAR FLOCK OF SHEEP
Pre Medic Studies as a Thousand
Woolies Make Noise Comparable
to Whoop of Wildcat Frosh
If you have ever listened to the ba
ba of a thousand sheep for only a few
moments perhaps you can stretch your
imagination and conceive to a slight do
gree just what it would be like to listen
to that incessant blatting day in and
day out, year in and year out.
Now eompare that soothing racket to :
the occasional whoop of your wildest
Frosh aud you will thank your lucky
stars that you are studying in vour i
own little room and not seated upon a
boulder sowewhere in eastern Oregon 1
surrounded by these thousand sheep. !
Such however is the study room of
Mr. (i. K. Wilshire who has been en-1
rolled with the extension division for J
over a year. Seated on the hillside in all i
kinds of weather or in his little shack
at night he is preparing himself to
make the jump from sheepherder to
physician and surgeon. He plans to
enter the pre medical school at the
University next fall and eventually to
attend the medical school in Portland.
Oregon’s sturdy band of gridiron
warriors, accompanied by coaches and
trainer 24 strong will leave this morn
ing at 7:25 on the Oregon Electric for
their journey to Salem to take on the
Willamette University Bearcats, in the
Varsity's initial contest. The team
will arrive in Salem at 9:40 and the
game is scheduled to start promptly at
3.
The tentative lineup given out by
Head Coach Huntington late yesterday
follows: Loft end, Capt. Howard, Vic
Risley; left tackle, “Spike” Leslie, K.
King; left guard, Rudd Brown, Reed;

Lineup of Willamette
The approximate lineup of the Bear
cats was obtained yesterday afternoon
by Graduate Manager lieuefie) from
Coach Roy Bolder of the Salem col
legians. Willamette will face the var
sity with Bain at center. White and
Itorcr in the guard positions, Larson and
Nichols in Ihe tackle berths, the ends
"ill be picked from Barnes, Radclift'e
and Richardson and the backs will be
chosen from, Irvine, Edwards, Soco
lossky, oiler, Patton, Kramer, and
Oliv e r.
Oregon's team, built as it is from
inexperienced material around a skele
ton of varsity veterans, will be watched
closely by tin1 football fans of the
Pacific Northwest. After this game
coaches and critics alike will have a
ha is of comparison upon which to build
an op.aiou of Lemon Yellow strength,
The game with the collegians is (-speci

Hunfinglon and his staff a chance to
see the team’s weak spots.

THREE ARE CONFINED IN
INFIRMARY FIRST WEEK
Trained Nurses from Philadelphia to bo
on Duty Day and Night;
Doctor to be on Call.
The University infirmary, the interior
of which has been newly painted and
arranged, closes its first week with
three patients under its care. None of
the three is seriously ill.
The infirmary opened on September
23. Tt can take care of fourteen pa
tients; the women's ward, upstairs, ac
commodates eight, and the men’s ward,
on the lower floor, accommodates six.
Dr. William Kuykendall, who holds
office hours in the clinic across the
stree from the infirmary, will be under
call, and two trained nurses are on duty
all the time. The nurses, Miss Mattis
Kimbrough and Miss Ethel Cost, came
originally from Philadelphia, and were
last year at the Warren Hunt hospital
at Klamath Falls.
