The Big Pep Fest
RALLIES will go on forever. As a molder of Oregon Fight and a
symbol of Oregon Spirit they will exist on the campus as loDg as
Oregon exists. Today has been set as the start off, and from today’s
showing of pep and enthusiasm the new Oregon student body will be
judged.
The biggest event of the year is the first rally. Everything gets
its impetus from it, pep runs rampant and the real display of Oregon
Spirit is allowed to rule supreme. Elaborate preparations have been
made for taking care of the “thundering thousand’’ this afternoon
and when yell leader Oberteuffer begins his unwinding process it
will be the signal for the entire student body to raise in a mighty
“Osky.”
Last Thursday saw the first assembly get off to a flying start.
The assembly hall was crowded, the students overflowed into the
hallways and nearly two thousand passed through the portals of old
Villard Hall. Today the grand stand on Hayward Field should be
crowded, the students should overflow into the aisles,,and the twTo
thousand should again be on hand.
Oregon’s football team has been fighting day in and day out since
September 15, and their efforts have not been in vain. That smash
ing team full of fight and with the Oregon student body behind it
faces a hard schedule this year, the second game of which will be
played on Hayward Field Saturday.
Every man on that team has heard the students say, “We are
with you.” But every man on that team has not yet seen that in
voluntary outburst from the student body which proves that Oregon
Spirit is backing up that Oregon Fight. That team is now looking
to the student body and framing the query as to W'here that student
body stands.
Women and men alike typify the Oregon Spirit. It has long
been a record of which Oregon has been proud that the coeds apprec
iate the efforts of the football team and prove their loyalty by at
tending the rallies.
Will there be any slackers tomorrow afternoon when the pande
monium of the first pep fest breaks loose on Hayward Field?

Mr, Fisher, up until this year sup

“T haven’t liked to see the Univer
