Only Three Weeks Left
“This will undoubtedly be the greatest Homecoming yet,” said
Leith Abbott, general chairman. Abbott has appointed committees,
and plans are well under way to make the affair the most successful
in history. More alumni have written saying that they will return
to watch the varsity battle Ihe Cougars on November 11, than ever
before.
But the committees and the general chairman cannot do all the
planning and all of the work and if Homecoming is to be put across
it must become the concern of every member of the student body. In
the three weeks which remain’every graduate of this institution and
every former student must be urged to come home. Letters have been
sent out by the alumni organization, but those which are most effec
tive are personal letters. Write to all of the alumni you know and tell
them that the University wants them on November 11.
With every Homecoming comes the necessity for greater organi
zation and more efficiency. Every Homecoming has been larger than
the last. If we are to keep our alumni interested in the University
we must bring them back every year and must show them that they
really are welcome and that we don’t forget them as soon as they
receive their diplomas. There will be more activities this year than
ever before. There will be more work to be done. Let’s start in piglit
now to put it (tver big!
Can t We Keep Him?
It is with extreme regret that The Emerald learns that Professor
Wilkie Nelson Collins does not plan to remain at the University after
this term. 11 is work in the English department has been exceptional
and students who have become associated with him will be sorry to
see him leave.
Professor Collins is the type of instructor which excites the admir
ation of the average student . With a wide background of reading, he
makes his lectures interesting and sparkling, lie thinks in big ideas
and he knows how to convey his ideas to his students. 11 is class dis
cussions are never commonplace and the members seem to go away
with a feeling of freshness. If anything can be done to keep Professor
Collins, it should be done.
COMMUNICATION
"THE PIONEER” IS SUGGESTED
Tl»o I alitor of t In* Kim raid:
I was gratified to read your editorial
endorsing the sug^ed ion that wo shoulil
adopt a name for our athletic and other
teams. Hut 1 have b> < n disappointed
that there lias l»een no other eonunent.
ISuroly the idea is of sut’licient conse
quence to evoke other opinions. 1 have
liopetl, too, that some opposition would
develop just for the iU* of the amuse
ment there might he in meeting it.
Hut if nobody earns very much, the
only thing l can do is to go ahead with
the suggestion of the name l hav a in
mind. Put name is On 1MON KKKS.
1 believe that the PlONKKKS inerts
every requii meiit of tin effective name,
except that it may prove i little urn
Wields f>> uei' apei lu m dl i n< It is
strong, dignihed, distinctive. Oregon
has hern a pioneer state in many ways,
and ours has been, and still P. a pioneer
Uiiivei s,{ \ . bln name \\ mb di. « s all
that is vigorous and » our. ge.ous in our
ancestry It links the present with the
past and b: cithrs the hardihood and
resoluteness oi those who made the 1 ni
versitv of Oregon possible.
Moreover, we have on the eampus
that noble and emiuriug tigure of the
l'ioueer, which may so fittingly serve
as a symbol of the qualities that uni
mate the teams of Oregon.
I submit the name the IMoXKKlvS to
the forum of student opinion. I l>
lieve it is a good name- one oi which

New Arrival
Learns English
From Sisters
Down in the wilds of Nicaragua,
where the good get bad and the bad get1
1 worse, Pollyarina shrieked and gurgled |
! from the tojr of a bamboo tree or hurled
vile epithets in Castillian whenever
some Nicaraguan brigand happened by.
1 her neck of the woods.
In her native haunts Pollyanna ruffl
ed her yellow and green plumage and
thought very little of a college educa
tion. In fact she knew very little about
the college curriculum.
The bamboo tree no longer knows the
I benign presence of Pollyanna, for the
bird hath flown and in pursuit of high- j
er education and she picked the place
where the standards are high so that
she may perch upon them,
i To make the story short Pollyanna
is among us and she is domiciled at
j Alpha Belt house on the hill. The
sorority sisters are trying to teach Pol
lyanna the rudiments of English, but
every now and then when her ham and
eggs are cold Pollyanna reverts to her
native tongue, Espanol, and says
naughty things about the chefs in the
land of high learning.
The wearers of the green derby note:
When passing the house on the hill look
sharp. If you see Pollyanna swinging
on her perch on the sun porch, remem
ber that she is the incarnation of the
Oregon spirit, for her colors are the
; lemon-yellow. Salute her, freshmen,
land ask her if she would partake of a
1 soda. If she breaks out in Castillian
profanity, shrivel up and die away in
l ho distance..
We hope that friend Pollyanna mas
ters our language in due time.

OREGON CLUB IMS'
FROM 0.0. SOU
Phi Delts Run Up Score of 22
to 11 on Sigma Chi;
Games Good
In a fast and clean-cut contest, the
Oregon club defeated the Alpha Tau
Omega quintet 26 to 24. Both squads
exhibited clever passing ability and the
checking on both sides was unusually
good.
The Alpha Taus were leading up to
the middle of the second half when the
Clubmen spurted and tied the score.
With one minute to play, it looked as
though the contest would require an ex
tra period. Carson, the midget for
ward for the losers made a desperate
try for a basket, only to have the ball
roll out of the hoop. The Oregon club
secured the ball and with barely 30 sec
onds to go Murray ringed one from the
center of the floor, putting the game on
ice.
Murray and Gunther starred for the
winners with 12 and 10 points respec
tively. Carson of the Alpha Taus scor
ed 18 of his team’s counters and gave
the opposing guards plenty to do to keep
him in sight. He is bound to give the
other forwards a run for the all-star
erth at the end of the season, if he
ceps up his present gait. Along with

lit was more like a bag rush. In this

LABORATORY FEES ARE DUE
Fine of One Dollar Due after Oct. 30;
May Be Expelled after Nov. 2
With one week gone of the 15 days
allowed for the payment of laboratory
| fees, only a small percentage have been
paid, and according to Comptroller
i.lohnsou, unless greater speed is shown
by the students next week many will
I tie unable to make their payments in
t ime. ,
October 30 is the last day upon which
regular payments may be made. The
windows will close at 3 o’clock exactly,
and those who are left in line must re
turn on the morrow with an additional
dollar. Following the 30th, two days
will be allowed in which fees may be
paid with a fine of one dollar. Any
fees which remain unpaid after that
date will bo considered by the Univer
sity officials as sufficient grounds for
expulsion from school of the delinquent
student.
A special appeal has been issued by
the comptroller, that, in order to save
themselves expense and the University
officials an excessive amount of work
on the final day, all students who have
not paid their laboratory fees do so
immediately.
Get the Classified Ad habit
Latin Book 400 Years Old
Owned by Member of Faculty
More that 100 uar* ago a book wm
published a; Tubingen, Uermany, in the
l.utiu peculiar to that time. This book
was a copy of "(Quintus Curtins on the
Life ami Kxploits of Aloxamlor tho
l.-iat" affd has evdeutly passed through |
many hands before it reached the pro
sent owner. Professor F. S. Dunn of the!
l.atin department of the University.
The vellum baeks, whieh it undoubt
edh possessed originally, are gone; the l
title page is missing; and about half an
un it has been eut away front the mar
g ' Now at last, poor old "Quintus
Curtins’’ has a respite from his adveti- j
tt;res and wanderings, for the old book
has been tenderly eared for by Profes
sor Dunn during the past 25 years.
Ott the margins of the book there are
notes, w ritten in a course Herman script
with a different kind of ink. There are
a!' i markings in faded red ink.
An interesting thing concerning alt
the notes is that-they are not continued:
b. vond the first quarter of the book.
1' is indicates that even the readers of]
l.atin in the loth century failed to pen
etrate very far into its mysteries. How
ex er. the present owner reports that the
volume is quite interesting and even
fascinating. H reads this, and other’
books of that ago, with great enjoy
ment. «
The book was purchased by the pro
fessor in ISS'ti. It was listed in a cata
logue of second-hand books, sent to Pro
fessor Dunn from Paris. The price was
very small, according to the professor,
owing to the mutilated condition of the
copy. It is not a tifst edition but was
published near the date of the tirst edi
tion, probably 1-171. The preface was
written in 1-194.
At on time the book was a part of
the private library of one Quiielini
Wagueri, according to a stamp found
inside its pages. Later it was sold for
nearly nothing in Paris. Other "who's”
and "why's" about the book must be
left to the imagination.
Professor Dunn has two other books,
both Latin, which though not as old
is the "Quintus Curtius" are old en
ough to be very interesting. One is a
treatise on geography by lVmponius
Mela, printed in Basle. Switzerland,
about 17*40. The other is " Florees,
Roman History,” printed in Leyden.
Holland, probably in lti,">7. The latter
