PHONES Business Manager .951 Editor Three Campus Occupations In general the time and energy of the undergraduate is spent in studies, in activities, in loafing or in a combination of the three. In two of these three the student will put his chief interest, and the third he will neglect. If the student is to remain in college for any length of time he must elect the first of the three occupations. No matter wdiat his other interests may be, studies determine whether or not he stays in college. No matter how influential he is, or how popular he is, the first occupation is a requisite. After he has discovered that classroom wrork is first in importance he will have to decide which of the other two he is interested in. He has time for but two. If he tries to carry on his studies and take part in student activities he will find that he has little time to loaf. But if his inclinations lead him to waste a great deal of.time even if he does maintain passing grades he will be doing little in activites. The college student who has a well balanced program has just the right amount of outside work. Activities are beneficial even if only for the reason that they provide an occupation for spare time and for recreation. Two of the three occupations are usually inevitable and if activities are left out there may be time to loaf. To spend all the time either in study or in activities is almost as bad as not to specialize on anything. The student who is popularly known as a grind may be accumulating facts which go to make up an education but he may be also neglecting to learn how to apply those facts. As serious is the condition of the student who neglects classes and forgets study for activities. Studies should predominate, and the man or woman who forgets the real purpose of college will come to realize the mistake in later years. On nearly every campus are found examples of those who special ize in any one of the three occupations. At the beginning of the fresh man year is the time when habits of study and of college life are formed. That is the time when the decision should be made. Choose the first two. A University Band At last the problem of securing a band which can be used for all University functions seems to be nearing solution. The R. 0. T. C. musicians, made almost useless last year by a ruling requiring uni forms at all occasions, will appear in non-military clothes at the call of the Yell King, runs the announcement. Upperclass band men are to be encouraged to join by a minimum of work in the battalion and the offer of the use of instruments belonging to the department. The plan for a distinctive uniform of “civvies” will do more for the band than anything else that could be done. For some time the University has been without a band which was of any practical use. The head of the military department is to be commended for thus helping to provide the University with such a necessary organization. I lean Uymcnt s talk tonight at the 't . M. A. is a splendid oppor tunity tor treshmen and new students to become acquainted with the University and its traditions. The scheme of a scries of talks for the newcomers is new this year but should prove successful. The talks may help incoming men out of difficulties and help them to start the year right. FRESHMEN WILL ELECT THIS AFTERNOON AT 4 Got Acquainted" Party Being Planned Saturday for Now Students On the Campus Nominations and ileetions of the Vrosh president and other oftieers will lie this afternoon at I o'clock in Yillard hall. The four nominating committees have drawn tip lists of names to he sug gested as follows: for president, Konald Beattie, 8am Treiger and Warren Small; for vice-president, Paul Krause, David Baird, Jack Hiveuhurgh; for sec retary, Mildred Bateman. Kdith Piero, and Gladys Onstend; for treasurer, Kli zahetli Hunch, Gilbert Bussmau, and Katherine Heel. One of the committees did not turn in its report and consequently the list is not complete. Considerable interest is manifest on the campus as to the attitude which will Vie taken by the fraternities regarding the election of a freshman president from their members, according to Dean Straub, advisor of the class of '2ti. A strong stand was taken by the sophomores to respect the person of the leader of the Krosh and against hazing, not authorized by sophomore class ac tion, This step was taken on the ini tiative of the '25 class without pressure! from the faculty, a distinct change from the policy of former sophomore j classes. The "get acquainted" party for the 1 entering students is scheduled for next Saturday evening. ESxteutn plans are! being made to make it a success in e\ | ery way and help the newcomers to feel j at home on the Oregon campus. It has, not been decided yet where the event ! will l.c held.

Dvment will deliver at 7:1.' tonight in Villard hall the first of a series of four lectures which have lava planned tor the especial benefit ol freshmen and new men on the earn pus. A good deal of interest has already been forcast tor these coming lectures, which in al probability will be of much value to the new men. 1'ean Dvmeat's talk will delve into the scholastic standings required for men participating in athletics, and also further, an enlightened view on con ference rulings. Prior to the opening of the lecture. Art Rosebraugh, veil king, will conduct a short yell practice.

INFIRMARY KEEPING BUSY Average Number of Students Cared Tor Much Larger than Previously It would seem as if the University infirmary lias been trying to break all I revious records in its increase of pa tients this term when one sees that the daily average of students cared for has been between six and eight. .Many of the patients are suffering from colds or throat trouble. Phil Kingte lias t on si 1 it is. Katherine de Neff and t'. 1'. Horn have severe colds, Jack Sea brook has bronchial pneumonia, and 1 ynn Royeroft has a bad case of asth ma. Several football men have met with serious accidents in the past week. Troy Mct'raw is now in the infirmary, having been brought in from the gridiron Sat urday with a wrenched knee, and Hil ton Rose, who was only recently dis charged from the infirmary, sprained the muscles in his side as the result of a football scrimmage. PRE-ENGINEERS ENROLLED 1 Changes in Curriculum Make Work Popular With Underclassmen There are 57 students enrolled in pre engineering this term. Ur. Caswell be lieves the quality of the students is better this year because there are more upperclassmen. The juniors are plan ning to remain in the work during their senior year, instead of changing to oth er departments as heretofore. The curriculum has beeu changed slightly owing to the change in fresh man English. A course in written and spoken English to be given during the junior year, has been added and will be compulsory for the present fresh men. All drawing has been put in the freshman year which reduces the course to IS hours instead of 19. REED MAN GETS DISTINCTION Reed College, Portland. Ore.. Oct. 10. — (P. 1. N. S'—Frank Flint, first Reed man to receive the Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, has boon awarded the Chan cellor's prire for English essay, accord ing to the announcement of the Oxford commencement exercises recently re ceived on the campus. To the best ofj our knowledge, the prize has never be-j fore been give,n to an American, and is a very high honor open to any stu dent of any college at Oxford. Flint t has been taken on the faculty of Bal-; liol College, his own alma mater, in the department of English, according to wo 1 n iv i .1 In President Sc hole. Singing of “Mighty Oregon” to Be Uninterrupted By Foreign Noise Clapping of hands during the singing of “Mighty Oregon” is opposed by Art Rosebraugh, yell king. The question whether or not to make noise during the singing of “Mighty Oregon” came up on the campus last year and resulted in considerable discussion, but it was finally decided to eliminate the mark ing of time by the clapping of hands. . This year there appears to be a misun derstand concerning the singing of the : University song and the making of a thunderous roar at the same time. It j is concerning this misunderstanding that Rosebraugh has delivered his ulti matum. “This year the student body will be expected to stand with heads uncover ed, showing the same reverence for “Mighty Oregon” as they would for the national anthem, and hands will not be clapped,” said Rosebraugh in an in terview last night. “It appears to be the prevalent opinion around the cam pus that ‘March on down the Field’ is a part of ‘Mighty Oregon,’ but this is not so. Hands can be clapped when the march song is sung, but not during the singing of ‘Mighty Oregon.’” Assistant yell leaders are to be se lected by Rosebraugh next Saturday during tht progress of the Oregon-Mult nomah game. The yell king selects the assistants, but the names must first be approved by the student council before the men are officially named. According to Rosebraugh, the aspir ants for positions on the yell staff will be afforded ample opportunity to dem onstrate their wares before the game, between halves, and during the playing period. He has sent a call to all parts •f the campus asking that all who as pire to the future position of yell king, one of the honored and elective posi tions in the student body grup, come out Saturday “regardless of previous condition of servitude,” as stated by Rosebraugh. White trousers and shirt and bow tie is to be the official habili ment of a yell leader again this year. This afternoon for the first time the University R. O. T. C. battalion will be given practice in systematic cheering. Rosebraugh for 15 minutes will lead the cadets through a repertoire of cheers, which he believes will be effective in acting as an antidote against freshman yell ignorance during the big games. Each week the yell king will instruct the R. O. T. C. members for a period lasting 15 minutes. It is expected that the Thundering Thousand will be more effective this year than ever before. PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN ARE TO BE DISCUSSED Membership Drive for Woman’s Ath letic Association Commences Latter Part of the Week Plans for the membership campaign I of the Woman’s Athletic association, which will be launched the latter part of this week, will be discussed at the executive board meeting of all officers of the W. A. A. and heads of sports, at 7:;>0, Wednesday evening in the li brary of the Woman’s building. A new system of awards will be worked out at this time, to replace the method of awards for varsity athletics. At the national conference of the W. A. A., held two years ago, and at the i conference at Eugene last year, strong i sentiment against participation in wo men's varsity compelled the local j W. A. A. to seek a new system of awarding merits. The point system will bo brought before the executive board , for consideration. The only awards which can now be given are letters for class teams and cups to the winning do nut teams. Keen competition and enthusiasm among the various woman’s organiza tions are expected to prevail throughout the year, according to Florence Jagger, president of the association. Last year the do-nut basketball and baseball championships went to Hendricks hall, while Kappa Alpha Theta was the win ner of the do-nut swimming meet. JUNIORS TO PLAN DANCE Committees Will Be Named Tonight When Class Meets for First Time The first junior elass meeting of the year will be held in Villard tonight at S o’eloek for the purpose of announc ing committee appointments and dis cussing the junior dance, which will be held at the men's gym Saturday night, according to Jimmie Meek, class pres ident. Some clever ideas for the dance are being considered by the committee in charge, and announcements that may be af a startling nature may be expected later, say those in charge. Bill McBride and his five piece or chestra have been engaged for the Sat urday night festivities of the juniors. CLUB PLANS DISCUSSED Newman Club Expects to Give Informal Socials Friday Afternoons Tentative plans for the term's pro gram of activities were discussed by the officers of the Newman club at a meeting held during the past wuek. The plans as outlined so tar include a series of informal social hours to be given on Friday afternoons in the club rooms. The first of these was held last Friday, and was attended by a large number of both old and new members. The first of the monthly communion breakfasts is scheduled for next Sun day morning at Newman hall. A din ner dance in compliment to all new and prospective members will be held on Friday evening in the club rooms. Officers of Newman club for the pre sent year are: President, Nicholas Mi chaels; vice-president, Agnes Kennedy; ! secretary, Freda Goodrich; treasurer, Vera Tracey. All Catholic students and faculty members on the campus, as well as all those who have expressed a preference for the Catholic religion are most cor dially invited to attend all meetings and social affairs of the club. STAFF OF EMERALD NOW BEING SOAPED Names Probably Will Be Made Known During First Part Of Next Week With approximately 60 persons trying out for positions on the staff of the Emerald, the task of managing editor this fall is one of selecting the best ma i terial and organizing the group of stu dents of journalism who are to carry on the recording of the campus news during the remainder of the year. It is prob able that the mast head containing the names of the students who are selected for staff positions will appear for the first time during the earlier part of next week. Several of the new students now doing reportorial work on the Emerald have been on the staffs of other college papers, but the lack of “background” for their stories is a serious handicap to their writing at present. The news editors be lieve that when the strangers from other schools become acquainted with the Ore gon campus the news machine will run much more smoothly. According to Kennth Youel, editor, plans are now being made for the start of several staff contests which will bring the element of competition into the work of the young journalists working on the Emerald. Prizes will probably be offered for the greatest number of news “tips” during the term, and other prizes will be given to promote the efficiency of the work of the daily editors, the night edi tors, and the news gatherers. The organization of the staff is in the hands of the managing editor, Phil Brogan, who has called a special meeting of all persons trying out for places on the staff to be held this afternoon at 5 o’clock in room No. 4 of the journal ism ‘ ‘ shack. ’ ’ Brogan has announced that “beats” will be laid out this week and that reporters will daily be assigned to cover every department in the Univer sity where news is likely to break. The managing editor while on the lower staff of the Emerald was interested in re porting the activiities of the various science departments and this year he intends to get in touch with reporters j versed in the sciences, who will be in j strueted to keep in touch with the differ ent departments. j This year for the first time the Em ■ erald is to initiate the policy of giving S“by-lines” to reporters writing good stories. It is believed that by prefacing the artifle with the writer's name better stories will be written. Members of the ; staff who are consistent in their work and who have been honored with “by lines” several times will probably be placed in a “crowned circle,” according to Youel. It is planned this year to keep on the staff as many of the star reporters of other years as possible. In the past, members of the staff who have been , elected to Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, men’s and women’s national j journalism fraternities, have usually quit ; writing for the Emerald, but this year \ouel hopes to have this group get back into harness. At the meeting of the tentative staff this evening, it is planned to smooth out many of the wrinkles which are at pres mt resulting in a little difficulty and make the Emerald more efficient as a carrier of the campus news. NEW SORORITY ORGANIZED Twelve Nationals and Two Locals Now on Oregon Campus j Organization of a new sorority, Tau N'u, was announced yesterday.

Crummett, Geraldine Troy, Alicia Agnew, Beatrice Conway, Helen Ignoe, Cora More, Claire Coliett, La verne Moore, and Lela Wade. It is understood that Tau Nu was ten tatively organized last spring, but no information concerning the sororitv was given out until yesterday. HOME EC DEPARTMENT HELPED An addition to the home economics j department which will add much to the efficiency of the department is a Lor rain oven, of the most modern type. It is used for general utility purposes, and will be of especial value to the food problem department as an aid in work ing out individual problems, as much stress is laid upon individual work.' With other equipment and rearrange ment the school is now fairlv complete. Cse the Classified Ad for your wants medical spool ENROLLMENT 193 New Main Building Nearly Finished; Dedication To Be About Nov. 1 Matriculation and registration in the University of Oregon medical school were completed yesterday and classes began this morning. The total enroll ment in the four years is 193, an in | crease over last year’s attendance of more than 30 per cent. Because of the i limitation in the size of classes in order | to maintain the highest standards there I were about sixty prospective students j who were unable to gain admission. The new building of the medical school, the main body of Mackenzie hall, is prac tically completed, which enables the in struction of a hundred and twenty stu dents of the first two years without crowding and with unexcelled facilities for research and teaching. The regis tration this year has representatives from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Cal I ifornia, Nevada, Montana, Utah, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan and Sas katchewan. Applications were received from more than twenty states. The grading of the campus and the paving of the court and approach are proceeding rapidly, and on or about November 1 the building will be formal ly dedicated. Additional rooms have been added to the Portland free dis pensary, which is operated jointly by the People’s Institute and the medical school for the purposes of providing medical care for the sick and crippled who are unable to pay and for purposes of teaching medicine. This enables daily clinics from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. in medicine, surgery, obstetrics, eye, ear, nose and throat, diseases of children and diseases of women and in dentistry. library Heads attend ASSOCIATION MEETING University Represented by Five at Annual Conference; Next Gathering at O.
