personel of the University of Oregon^
glee clubs have been made.
Seventeen places in the women’s glee
club were filled last evening, when
Director Leland A. Coon announced
the names of those winning positions
in the organization. Eighty University,

bringing new students to the campus.
Eleven girls have tried out for ac
companist, and results for this position
will be announced the last of the week.
Men’s Results Are Out
Results for the men’s, glee club were

that there is a possibility of a trip into
the Inland empire and of an extended
trip later on. No definite plans for
the proposed trip East have been made.
Arthur Rudd, manager of the club,
is corresponding with glee clubs of the
Northwest with the idea of obtaining

GIVE ASSEMBLY ADDRESS
A. S. U. O. officers have requested
that all students turn out for as
sembly this morning to hear “Pat”
McArthur, ’01, now a member of
Congress from Oregon... “Pat” was
editor of the college paper while in
the University and prominent in
athletics. He has not addressed the
student body for a number of years
and it is announced that his subject
will be of interest to all college men
and women.
UNDERCLASS MIX WILL
BE SQUAREST ON RECORD
*‘No Ruff Stuff” Say senior Cops, Who
Will See That Justice is Done;
Five Contests on Big Card
“This is a square mix, is the way the
juniors explain the underclass „ mix
which is to be held on Kincaid field
next Saturday.
“All jokes aside, if there ever was a
square mix this one will be square,”
they go on to say.
So evidently the first year men are
going to have a real chance to show
their superiors just what they are made
of. They hope so, for they contend that
it never has been done before. ;
“Hap” Hazard and “Doc” Braddoek,
the two wizards of ’23 who were en
trusted with the framing of this year’s
program, have announced the following
list of events: One yelling contest be
tween the sophomore men and the fresh
men; one singing contest for the ladies;
a 50-man tug o’ war; a 30 man cane
rush; a tie up exhibition and one flag
rush.
Art Kuhnhausen, chief of the senior
cops, will lead the purity squad of
upper classmen. Art says that this
will be a square mix and to leave all
your “tuff stuff’’ at home.
Besides his police duties Chief Kuhn
hausen will judge the start of the an
nual senior “mustache raising race.”
It is his intention to see that no one
gets an unfair start in so important an
event in the college year.

Prehistoric Monster Has
Tooth ‘Fixed’ on Campus
#
' “.who would place a
limit to the giant's unchained
strength.?”
So sang the poet; and as one watches
•Miss Kaehel Husband, assistant in the
department of geology, carefully doing
some extensive dental work on the
tooth of a mastodon, that long-haired,
ringed-trunk gigantic beast which
crashed through the jungles far back in
the pleistocene, there is a potent feel
ing that an unchained mastodon would
be a poor subject for dentistry work.
Before the reader is given the impres
sion that a reincarnated mastodon
Americanus has sauntered into the
geology museum in Johnson hall for
dental services, let it again be Ex
plained that this mastodon which Miss
Husband has in drydock was a very
disconcerting part of the 'movable
scenery which was when man was not.
Also, to avoid any disappointment to
curious persons who might visit the
museum, it must be mentioned that
Miss Husband^s pet is nicely fossil
ized -and somewhat scattered. Most of
this Creature, whose original nine-foot
long tusk has been glued, shellaced,
stuffed with cotton and rigged up in
true dental style, is gone back to the
dust of the hills adjacent to McMinn
ville, where the huge leg bone, nicely
preserved skull, and monstrous tusk
were found last spring.
‘•Yes. be sure was a big fellow,”
said Miss Husband as she explained how
she had performed the dental opera
tions. “I believe the mastodon would
just about fill this room,” she added
as she compared the probable size of
the great beast to the museum.
Miss Husband has been busied for
some time carefully removing the bones
of a prehistoric whale out of a sand
stone formation in which it was found
some time ago by Dr. Packard on the
Oregon coast. This specimen has not
yet been determined, but it is known
that it belonged to a species of whale
which long preceded the era of the
present king of the deep.
Athletic Field "Will Hold 15,000
When Addition Is
Completed
ANOTHER UNIT PROBABLE
Benefiel Expects Maximum
Crowd For Game
With 0. A. C.
Hayward field is to seat approxi
mately 15,000 people at the annual Ore
gon-O. A. 0. game this year. Jack
Benefiel, A. S. U. O. graduate man
ager, will let the contract this week for
the construction of permanent bleachers
to seat 6000 on the north end of the
field’. Hayward field will then have a
seating capacity second only to that of
the University of Washington stadium
in the northwest.
Work on the new bleachers, which
will be under the general supervision
of W.' K. Newell, superintendent of
buildings and grounds, will be started
as soon as Benefiel lets the contract.
The new structure will be financed by
the Associated students.
The new bleachers will be a unit of
the permanent field. It will be semi
circular in shape, with twenty rows
of seats, extending the full width of
the field. Before deciding on the con
struction of the new bleachers, a pre
liminary outline of the Hayward field
of the future was made, with the re
sult that the new structure was plan
ned to fit in with future additions. The
next unit to be built will be a huge
grandstand opposite the present grand
stand. A bleacher unit similar to'-that
which will be built on the nprth end
may be added later to the south end.
Such a program would increase the
seating capacity of Hayward field to
such a point that it could easily ac
commodate a crowd as large as that
which would desire to see any coast
football game for several years to come
The new bleachers to be built this
year will stand outside the track so
that it may be used in ease any im
portant track meets are held here in
the future. The track will be protected
by guard fences.
Since 13,000 people saw the Oregon
O. A. C. battle at Corvallis last yqar,
Benefiel feels confident that the an
nual Homecoming battle here will draw
fully 15,000 and will fill all the seats
which will be provided by the new ad
dition. The Oregon-O. A. C. game here
two years ago at the time when Hay
ward field was dedicated drew 12,000
spectators, indicating a yearly growth
in attendance at the big state cham
pionship game which normally would
make Benefiel’s estimate likely to be
fulfilled.

CYNIC IS SCHEDULED TO
ADDRESS LIBRARY CROWD
“Faculty Members I Have Slept Under”
Will Be Subject of Discourse By
Famous Critic; No Admission
Unnanounced and in behalf of no par-'
ticular Greek Letter society comes the I
Campus Cynic to make his second an-;
! nual bow for the first time to the
j multitude today in fjont of the library.;
Promptly at the close of the ten o ’clock I
! period the grizzled veteran of many a !
I press fight will mount the stone steps |
of the hall of knowledge to discourse
wisely and fluently on tne faults of
present day education.
Rumor has jt that the subject of his
“30-30” discourse will be “Faculty
Members I have Slept Under.” The
Cynic has steadfastly refused to com
ment upon the nature of his attacks
it being the understanding that they
will be withheld until the open-air
hearing. No admission will be charged
nor will any collection be taken. It has j
been suggested that pictures of the
festival will be taken provided the ,
crowd will hold still for one moment.
MAIL IS NOT CALLED FOR
Cubby hole Postoffice is Crowded With
Notices for Students
An nnusual number of notices for
students from the administration of
fice have accumulated and are waiting
distribution in the cubbv-hole post
office in the basement of the Adminis
tration building, says H. M. Fisher,
University postmaster.
Mr. Fisher wishes that students would
call for their mail, and suggests that a
daily trip to the postoffice for their
organizations ’ mail would be a good
job for the freshmen.
COUNCIL ASKS FOR
SPEAKER TO URCE
CUT IN ARMAMENT
Vespers to be Held Downtown;
Musical Programs Will
Be Made Feature
HISTORIAN WILL BE NAMED
Proposition of University Band
Is Discussed; R. 0. T. C.
Offers Assistance
By FLOYD MAXWELL
That an effort will be made to bring
a speaker to the Oregon campus in the
near future to discuss the coming con
ference for the limitation of arma
ments and that the proposition of stu
dent action in the matter be considered
after such an address, was the unani
mous opinion of the student council
which met last night. The suggestion |
of united action on the part of stu
dents throughout the country came
from Pennsylvania State College in the
form of a message to the Emerald and
the president of the Associated Stu
dents a few days ago.
The advisability of immediate stu
dent action in the matter was discussed
and the plan to bring the full import
of the coming conference squarely be
fore the students for their discussion
and decision was reached as a solu
tion, as the result of careful considera
tion of the matter by the Student coun
cil. The committee on assembly will
be urged to secure such a speaker as
soon as possible.
Vessers to Be in Churches
Hereafter, student vesper services
will be held in one of the churches
down town as a result of action taken
by the Student Council last night. The
question was brought up at. the sug
gestion that better musical • facilities
could be obtained. It was pointed out
in the discussion that a pipe organ '
would be available for the Vespers if
held in one of the churches and that
the musical program was always a fea
ture of the Vosper services. The com
bined glee clubs singing with the ac
companiment of a pipe organ was de
clared to have been very successful
when tried during commencement last
spring.
The matter of the immediate appoint
ment of the historian was brought to
the attention of the council. The his
torian position is one to which a great
deal of responsibility is attached, de
clared President Bartholomew in dis
cussing the appointment, “and we must
be very careful in our selection.”
A committee consisting of Mildred
Ferguson, Ella Rawlings and Floyd
Maxwell was appointed to select the
candidates for the position. These will
be voted upon and the appointment of
the historian made at the next meet
ing of the council.
University Band Discussed
The matter of the immediate organi
zation of the University band wfas
taken up by the council and a eon\=
mittee of three members was appointed
to investigate the matter. It was
brought out in a discussion of the mat
ter that Major Baird, commanding of
ficer o^ the R. O. T. 0., desired the
student body to take somo action in the

LIFE OF JANITOR NOT
ALL “BEER AND SKITTLES”
Library Attracts Peanut Lovers and
Paper-wad Sharpshooters; Other
Buildings Are Cleaner
If “cleanliness is next to godliness,”
some of the University students are
rather far from attaining that virtue,
according to several of the campus
janitors, interviewed on the subject of
the tidiness of the college building*.
II. A. White,, janitor of the Library,
states that “the gum, peanut shells,Tind
chocolate papers couldn’t be worse.”
L. I.. Constance,* who takes care of
Deady hall, is slightly more encourag
ing, but believes that the neatness of
the college people has not reached
“99 44-100 pure.” He states that, al
though the papers and wrappers are
less in evidence, in his building than in
the high school where he last worked,
there is still opportunity for improve
ment.
The Administration building, how
ever, is treated with more consideration.
W. H. Ledward, who is in charge of the
janitor work there, praises the stu
dents for the way they refrain from
throwing paper around the halls and
i class rooms. “The students couldn’t
be neater,” was his comment. “They
I are certainly fine.”
Scandal Sheet
to Be Fea ture
of All U. Mix
A rampant scandal sheet printed in
red hot ink on cast iron paper will
be but one of the milder features of
the Y. M.-Y. W. Mix tomorrow night,
it is said. Sigma Delta Chi, fearless
and fair, promises to make some of the
most astounding revelations of fact,
near fact and fiction heard of since
shortly after the war.
A capable and irresponsible staff is
now at work on the publication and
the very hedges are being combed for
material with which ,to fill its pages.
A nominal charge will be made for the
paper, all proceeds to go for printing
expenses and attorney’s fees.
As there will be a rally Friday morn
ing to see the team off for Portland
there will be none Friday in the even
ing but starting from the library a
serpentine will wend its wary way via
the fraternities and sororities down
to the new armory, where the bust is
to be held. This is to be an anti
calendar affair, 1. e., no dates.
Old clothes will be a la mode and
everyone is asked to bring a mask but
to leave any intentions of highway
robbery aside... Costumes are desired.
Snappy stunts and lively entertainment
are.to be combined with edibles. “Fun
is what there ain’t going to be any
thing else but, ” in the classical English
of a certain faculty member.

Totals—Oregon 225, Idaho 66
Will Oregon be able to take the
strong University of Idaho team to
another defeat, when they tangl Satur
day afternoon when .they moe't on Mult
nomah field. Will Oregon, with a
green inexperienced team be able to
lower the Gemstator’s colors, with
Coach Kelly boasting one of the strong
est teams in years? That is the ques
tion thhat, football followers and critics
of the northwest are asking.
Idaho has a strong team this year,
stronger even than tho speedy aggre
gation that lost^o Oregon on Hayward
field last year Kl-7 on what even the
Lemon-Yellow's strongest, advocatos
characterised as a fluke, Tho Moscow
line lost but two men last year, Plas
tino and Perrin, Plastino at center and
Porrine at right tackle, with ample
excellent material to take tho% places.
Tho backfield which worked so
smoothly against the varsity line last
fall is back entire—the two Breshears,
“Huch” and “Boany,” Whitcomb and
Irving.
The Idaho team is undoubtedly one of
the strong teams of the Northwest and
they are out to take tho varsity’s
moasuro, for up there at Moscow they
are galling under tho long string of
crushing defeats that the Lemon-Yellow
has inflicted upon them. The virsity
is eequally retermined to bring home
another Idaho scalp. Tho psychology
of tho situation is decidedly in Ore
gon ’s favor, for even in tho lean years
Oregon has always been able to de
feat the fighting aggregation from
Moscow.
The first game between the two in
stitutions was played back in 1001 when
Warren Hrnith of the University of
California was varsity coach. The
game resulted in a nothing to nothing
score and was the only tie game to be
played between the two institutiorfs.
Games were played yearly between
the two universities after a break until
1900, up to 1911 when tbe death of
Virgil Noland, varsity guard, caused
