the balcony, while the members of the
other classes will be ushered to their
places by the Oregon Knights under
the direction of Jimmy Meek.

where they will gather and march in a
body to their places in the assembly
room. The exits will be made in the
game way, thus avoiding the usual con
gestion.
The assembly will begin and close on
time. It is expected that the assembly
today will be one of the largest of the
term.
“OLD OREGON” WILL BE
PUBLISHED MONTHLY
Alumni Magazine Will Now Use Cuts,
First Time in History;
Other Changes Made
“Old Oregon,” the alumni magazine
of the University, will make its tirst
appearance as a monhtly publication,
about the eighth of this month, with
Miss Grace Edgington, ’16, as editor,
and Miss Jeannette Calkins, ’16, as
manager. This first issue of the year
will be devoted principally to the $10,
000,000 gift campaign launched to aid
the growth and improvement of the
University.
In addition to its change in frequen
cy of appearance, this year, Old Oregon
is to carry cuts on its cover, and to
show a change in typographical style.
This is planned in order to make it a
more attractive and newsv-looking pub
lication. The cover stock will be chang
ed to a smooth-surfaced paper of white,
in order to use the cuts, which cannot
be run on a rough paper like that used
for the covers of former issues of the
magazine. This will be the first time
in the history of Old Oregon that pic
tures will be used on the cover.
Old Oregon expects to use more stu
dent news than ever before. Miss Edg
ington says, “We think the alumni
want to know more of the student
point of view, and this year we are
planning to give it in more detail.
The alumni periodical has been in ex
istence four years. The first two years
it appeared four times in the school
• year; the third year it was published
everv two months, the fourth year four
times, and now in the fifth year it has
become a monthly.
It is planned to have the first issue
in the mails about the tenth of this
month. The second issue will appear
shortly before Homecoming, and will
be devoted to news of the Weekend.
Smythe Makes Sure
No Reporters There
Then Makes Address
So rigorous is the high altitude of
the Andes near Lima, Peru, that the
only insect which lives midst the peaks
that rear themselves into the clouds
17,000 feet above the level of the sea
is the “cootie,” said Donald Smythe,
University graduate, who spoke to the
Condon club last night. Before begin
ning his talk, Mr. Smythe made cer
tain that no Emerald reporter was in
the room.
Mr. Smythe described in detail the
country of Peru—a fertile land handi
capped by the lack of transportation.
Mr. Smythe, who decided to take up
the study of geology when with the
Second Engineers in France, spent one
year in Peru with a private corpora
tion, the Cerro de Pasco Copper mniing
company.
Glaciers near the equator; mine work
ings so high above sea level that no
white man can live in them; the geol
ogy of the Andes—these were only a
few things discussed "by the speaker.
Mining in Peru is still in its infancy,
said Mr. Smythe. Nearly any mineral
can be found in that country.
Mountain sickness in the high Andes
is hard for humans to overcome, said
Mr. Smythe, who recently returned
from South America. There are no
birds living in the lofty mountains.
Pneumonia is the only sickness known
among the mine workers. One of the
few animals which lives in the high
altitudes is a short-eared rabbit which
has a bushy tail and enlongated whis
kers.
DO-NUT BASKETBALL
LEAGUE SOON STARTS
SCRUB TEAMS WILL ALSO
BE FORMED
Do-nut basketball will get under wav
Monday, October 16. Basketball coach
Bolder requests that each living organi
zation elect a representative, who will
attend the first meeting Tuesday, Oc
tober 10, at 4:15 in the men’s gym. The
system of scheduling games will be dis
cusseu at tins time ana the anterent
representatives are asked to bring in
any new ideas that they have regarding
the arrangement of the league.
The time of the games will be the
same as last year; 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 o'
clock. Each organization will be al
lowed to use seven men during the sea
son. Due to the late start of school this
year the schedule has to begin early
and this leaves the houses with only a
few days to prepare their men for the
hard grind. They are urged to pick
their men and start practice immedi
ately.
There will also be a scrub league this
year. This league will be composed of
players who are not good enough to
make the organization team. The scrub
teams will be coached by varsity letter
men who will also play with them. The
fraternities may draft a player from
the lower league, but in doing so they
must drop one of the original seven
men, so that they will still comply with
the league ruling, that only seven men
be carried.
Coach Bolder believes that about 300
men will benefit by these two leagues.
The games will be played in the men’s
gym and the outdoor gym.
CAMPUS SCRIBES HEAR
DEAN ALLEN GIVE PLANS
Journalism Students Urged to Keep Up
Friendly Spirit Despite Loss
of “Shack”
The campus journalists old and new,
bereft of their former rendezvous, the
famed “shack,” which was burned
last summer, assembled yesterday morn
in Guild Hall at eleven o’clock to hear
words of advice and encouragement
from Dean Allen of the school of jour
nalism and to meet the crew who are
to steer the good paper Emerald
through the coming year.
Dean Allen recalled to his audience
the spirit of comradeship and friendly
informality that prevailed last year and
urged the new students to develop the
old morale in themselves and the old
ones to continue in their former inter
! est.
The new Journalism building, which
will be a wing of McClure hall, is ex
pected to be finished by January 8, pro
viding bad weather does not interfere
j or the building supplies are not delay
! ed. Dean Allen said that although the
; building is only under way, he saw no
j reason why the school of journalism
could not continue to be among the
country’s foremost. The new building
will have twenty-eight rooms for jour
nalistic subjects.
Ralph Casey, a new member of the
■ faculty of the school of journalism, was
| introduced. Mr. Casey, a graduate of
the University of Washington, where he
was editor of the college paper and
later on the faculty, has also been
on the faculty of the University of
| Montana.
R.O.T.C. LEADER
Colonel Sinclair Gives Promise
To Co-operate With
Student Body
EXCELLENT CORPS IS AIM
Schedule of Drill Changed;
Unit to Help Campus
In Activities
A new commandant for the Reserve
Officer’s Training Corps unit of the Uni
versity and new policies on relationship
with University student life to the R.
O. T. C. unit, are notable changes in the
military life of the University for the
year just beginning.
The genera! attitude of the military
department toward University students
this year, as outlined yesterday by
Lieutenant-Colonel William S. Sinclair,
who succeeds Major Raymond C. Baird
as commandant of the University R. O.
T. C., is one of co-operation.
“We are not treating any man here
like a six-year-old,’’ he said, “if we
can’t help the University we ought to
get out and I would be the first to start
such a move in that case.’’
The demerit system as used last year
has been discarded by Lieutenant Col
onel Sinclair and in its stead, the com
mandant expects the “same canscien
tious work as is done in the other de
partments.’’ If a cadet refuses to co
operate with the military department,
he may be forced to withdraw. Colonel
Sinclair emphasized that he desired to
make the military department an asset
to the University and a supplement to
the various college interests of the
student. '
Militarism Subordinated
He pointed out that the K. u. i. .
unit is here at the request of the Uni
versity authorities and not at that of
the war department. Lieutenant-Col
onel Sinclair said that he realized the
students were here for the educational
and other advantages of college and not
primarily for the military. The mili
tary department intends to work upon
this basis and accordingly freshmen
will drill only once a week for a two
hour period, and sophomores will drill
one hour a week. Freshmen will have
one hour of lecture on military science
and second year men will have two.
The new commandant gives as his
aim the turning out of a trained bat
talion of infantry. The first goal is to
get the unit in shape for a parade on
Armistice day, in which it is expected
that the R. O. T. C. will be asked to
take part in.
The band is expected to be especially
good this year and at the service of
the student body for rallies, football
games and other occasions when mar
tial music will be wanted. Uniforms
other than the official uniform for mil
itary parades will probably be worn for
these events.
Yell Practice Planned
Another innovation to be sponsored
by the department is a fifteen minute
yell practice at the beginning of each
drill period to be under the charge of
yell king Rosebraugh. Students not
taking military are urged to be out for
these practices.
Members of the military staff this
year include Captain F. C. Lewis, Lieu
tenant M. E. Knowles, both of whom
were here last year, and Captain E. G.
Arnold.
Lieutenant Colonel Sinclair, who has
brought with him to Eugene'his wife
and two sons, has been attending for
the last year the army school at Fort
j Leavenworth, Kansas, where Major
Baird, last year’s military head si
studying in the School of the Line. The
new commandant has been stationed
not only in the United States but in
the Hawaiian islands, where hq was
j acquainted with Major Baird.
The Cadet Major for this year is Don
Zimmerman.
TEXAS RUSH RULES NEW
Before any bids are sent out to pros
j pective members by sororities at the
University of Texas the dean of women
j explains the history of the various or
I ganizations on the campus and gives the
I rushees an idea of the obligations of
1 sorority members. This is an innova
i tion. No rushing is allowed during reg
istration week.
U. OF C. HAS NEW EDIFICE
The Student Union building at the
j University of CalifoAia will soon be
‘ completed, according to the story re
j cently carried in the Daily Californian.
: A barber shop, cafeteria and soda foun
j tain will be housed in this structure.
ANNUAL INFANT
PARADE Will BE
TUI? IFTTHWIDN
Sophomores Assume Kindly
Attitude Toward New
First Year Class
PADDLES NOT ABANDONED
Frosh President Will Not Be
Disturbed According to
New Soph Policy
Frosh parade today! At four o’clock
this afternoon all freshmen of the mas
culine sex are ordered to report in
front of the administration building
without fail, says Tom Hughes, sopho
more president. Woe unto any mem
bers of the class of '26 who fail to ans
wer roll-call at the appointed time and
place, for the class of 1925 will be out
in force with “stingin’ paddles and
husky biceps” to initiate the wearers
of the green lid into the ways of tho
University. Senior cops will be present
to see that justice rules and that all
shall have a square deal.
The old line of march will be follow
ed. Good condition of the vocal or
gans will be a requisite while a “sing
ing” acquaintance with ‘‘Mighty
Oregon” might be a wise precaution,
according to an interview with sev
eral of the sophomores. Frosh caps
must not be cut down this year or al
tered in any way. A fee of 10 cents
will be extracted at the parade forma
tion.
Hazing Is Opposed.
This year a new spirit is to prevail
in the attitude of the members of the
sophomore class in relation to the fresh
men. In direct reversal to the action
or the sophs in years past him stand
is being taken by the Class of ’25 on
its own initiative, to respect the posi
tion of the freshmen presidency and
elevate it to an equal place in honor
and desirability with other class offices
of the Univresity.
Hughes declares that every effort will
be made by officers of the class to stop
hazing not authorized by sophomore
class action and that all “small town’’
razzing and night mill-racing parties by
small irresponsible groups will be rig
orously suppressed. Members of the
class, generally, feel that the itrne has
come when the University of Oregon
is too big to indulge in this type of
hazing and are backing the movement.
This is the first time that a sophomore
class has taken the initiative in this
matter.
John MacGregor, president of the A.
8. U. O., states that he feels very
strongly on the subject and that he
shall back Hughes to the limit in sup
pressing any infractions of this spirit.
The president of the sophomores is held
responsible for the actions of his class
by the student body according to Mac
Gregor.
Council Also Disapproves
Representing the 1925 class on the
student council, Donald Woodward as
serts that he is heartily in favor with
the policies set forth by Hughes and
declares they should become traditions
here.
Dean Straub, “daddy’’ of the fresh
men, is in sympathy with the move
ment and stated that it was very grat
ifying to him that the ’25 class is in
augurating the custom without pres
sure from the faculty. He hopes that
the fraternity houses will fall in line
and urge their men to run for presi
dency. The position is one of respon
sibility and everything possible should
be done to get good men to accept the
leadership of the entering students and
organize them successfully, declared
Dean Straub.
The bonfire to be built by the fresh
men wilt be limited to 26x25x25 feet
this year. The first meeting of the
class will probably be held Friday af
ternoon.
BEAVER EDITOR NAMED
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis, Oct. 4.—(I*. I. N. 8.)— Howard Lew
is of Marshfield, a junior in civil engin
eering, was unanimously elected editor
of the 1924 Beaver, college annual, at
the junior class meeting. The Beaver
this year will be the same size as the
1925 Beaver and the same kind of paper
will be used.
PLEDGING IS ANNOUNCED
Kappa Theta Chi anouuces the pled
ging of A1 Sinclair and Van Sinclair
of Eugene, and Kenneth Stephenson o!
Portland.
Summer Is Gone;—
So Is “Flashlight”
Read and His Flivver
Gone, gone are the old familiar faces..
The summer months have witnessed the I
passing of another distinguished per j
sonage, who though not a member of,
the teaching fraternity, was known on,
the campus as Professor Rend.
“Flashlight” Bead, A. C. Bead of
camera fame, sometime during the sum
mer vacated the shop which he former
ly operated a few doors west of the Co
op store and has left for parts unknown.
A tonsorial artist now occupies Pro
fessor Bead’s time-honored photo shop.
Other changes about the campus have
also occurred; changes which will more
or less effect the student life at the
University.
The Oampa Shop during the summer
to accommodate University patronage
has constructed an annex to their es
tnblishfent which will greatly increase
their dining room space. Club lunch
eons or other special dinner gatherings
can be readily accommodated in this
new dining room annex, according to
H. S. Taylor, proprietor of the Campa
Shop. During the summer the Univer
sity Book store exchanged hands and is
now operated as the University Phar
macy. Floyd Keeney, the proprietor of
the store, is a registered pharmacist.
GIFT CAMPAIGN WILL BE
LAUNCHED IN ROSEBURG
Work to Begin at Reunion of
“Old Grads” Tonight
The campaign to obtain $10,000,000
in benefactions within the next, ten
years to aid in providing for new build
ings and other development at the Uni
versity of Oregon will be formally laun
ched by alumni and former students of
the institution at a big Douglas county
“old grad” reunion in Rosoburg to
night.
Alumni, former students and other
friends of the University will meet at
dinner in the Hotel Umpqua to discuss
the endowment projects and lend their
aid to the plan.
President Campbell, Capt. Lamar
Tooze, 'lti, field director of the endow
ment fund campaign; W. K. Newell,
who will have charge of campaign head
quarters, and others from the Univer
sity will speak, outlining the need of
private benefactions to augment the
funds obtained from the milluge sup
port.
Besides the foregoing, those who will
leave the campus this afternoon for
Koseburg to attend the reunion will in
clude Mrs. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Karl
Onthank, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell
Church, Miss Grace Kdgington, ed
itor of Old Oregon; Miss Jeannette Cal
kins, business manager of Old Oregon,
and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph I). Casey.
The Douglas county graduates will
be the first group of alumni to formally
consider the campaign project, although
large numbers informally have agreed
to help organize and promote the cam
paign.
Among the speakers tonight will be
O. P. Coshow, M. S. Hamm, superinten
dent of Roseburg schools, and Mrs.
Frank Lilburn, Douglas county alumni.
Gifts to the University in the past
few years aggregate not far from half
a million dollars in value. These pri
1 vate benefactions, if increased to a con
siderable degree, will be a welcome und
necessary addition to the milluge sup
port.
‘ Ten Million Dollars in Ten years’’
was adopted as the slogan of the cam
paign. The necess’ty of private bene
factions in addition to state support
was reported to the board of regents
by President Campbell at its meeting
lari fall. He yoipted out then that the
University enrollment was increasing
nearly 20 per cent a year, while prop
erty valuations, the basis of the millaga
fond, has been for some years nearly
stationary.
Besides many new buildings, the Uni
> errily is urgently in need of new
nooks, collections, museum material, re
search funds, and scholastic funds,
President Campbell says.
CALL MADE FOR MUSICIANS
Tryouts for places in the University
Symphony orchestra will be held Fri
day evening at 5 in the studio of Rex
Underwood, director, in the Music
building. There are vacancies in all
departments of the organization, ac
cording to Mr. Underwood, who is
hopeful that as many as possible will
tryout.
Both the woodwind and the brass sec
tions are especially needful of new
members. None of the three flutes
who were with the orchestra last year
have returned to school. Beulah Clark,
flute soloist, is at present on a concert
tour in the southern part of the United
States.
Fewer places are open in {he strings
but Mr. Underwood expressed a wish
that students try out for places them
also. “We can always use good musi
cians,” the director said.
CHANCES HELD
BEST IN YEARS
Hayward and Huntington
Are Confident of
Good Showing
CALLISON TO DON SUIT
Washington and W, S, C.
Loom as Strongest
Of Contenders
“We have as good a chance this year
for the coast championship in football
as wo have ever had,” Bill Hayward
said this afternoon when discussing the
strength of the tennis on the coast. The
material this year is the best that has
ever turned out for football at Oregon
Coach Huntington says, and believes
that with such material as Cog Camp
bell, the Shields brothers, Chuck Par
sons, Rud Brown and Bill Spear the
line will be as powerful as any on the
coast.
First Game Saturday
The first conference game of tho year
is slated for Saturday with the Willam
ette Methodists. Reports from the Sa
lem institution indicate that they are
much stronger than last year, and that
Cdach Bolder is developing a strong
line in hopes of holding tho Oregon
score down. Ovor 50 men are out for
the Methodist team, and they are con
fident of holdiug Oregon gridsters to a
low score.
Cog Campbell, a 210 pound boy re
ported for his first practice last night,
and according to the coaches should de
weeks ’ practice. Cnmpbell played Rook
football at O. A. C. several years ago,
but was ineligible hero lust year be
cause of transferring from the Cor
vallis institution the yenr before.
Cailison Recovering
Prink Callison is rapidly recovering
from an injury to liis legs which he re
ceived this summer, and will be out
in a uniform some time next week. Tiny
Shields who has been out in a suit all
season, but has indulged in no actual
practices is getting over an injury to
his back received this summer, and will
be in the regular lineup before long.
The stiffest competition for places
will come iu the backfield, the coaches
say, as there are two or three good men
for every place. Five lettermen are
back for the backlield besides several
men from the freshman squad. Chap
man, Johuson, King, Latham and Oram
are lettermen, while Jordan played on
the varsity last yeur and is getting by
big this season.
From the freshman squad of last
year come French and Tergeson, both
of whom are pluying fast ball. French
was injured iu practice last week, but
will soon be back into the game again.
Coast Teams Are Strong.
The coast teams are all strong this
year and the coaches have not decided
where the stiffest game will come from.
Both Washington and W. 8. C. are
being rated high by fans, and the home
coming game here with W. 8. C. No
vember 11 promises to be the real
thing.
The men are going through stiff work
outs every night now and an occasional
scrimmage serves to liven up the prac
tices. Bart Spellman, line coach, is
giving the men good snappy practice
in bucking the line, while the backlield
aspirants are working at punting, pass
ing and interference plays.
KOREAN COMES TO U. OF 0.
Chi Sung Registers In Journalism to
Establish Paper at Home
Because he desires to obtain a thor
ough education in journalism in order
that he may later establish a newspaper
in his native land, Chi Sung Pil, whose
home is iu Seoul, Korea, has enrolled
in the University of Oregon school of
journalism.
Pil comes to the University with jun
ior standing as he was a student for
three years at Pacific College, Newberg.
At Pacific College ho played baseball
for three years and was captain and
pitcher of the nine iu his last year.
Born iu Pyng Van, Koreo, Pil studied
at the Kong Oak school at the capital
before coming to America but his par
ents now live in Hawaii.
‘1 There is no strong nationalist press
in Korea,” said Pil today, ‘‘and the
result is that Korea does not exercise
the influence in the Pacific world that
the nation should. My country needs
strong newspapers and well trained
journalists. ”
