_ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1922
NUMBER 19
GROUP SELECTED
TO BRING MEN OF
GREATNESS HERE
Lindsay First of Galaxy Who
Will Come to University
to Address Students
POET ARRIVES SATURDAY
Tickets for Appearance Will
Be Distributed on Campus
And in Eugene
vaehel Lindsay, tramp poet and sing
er of the beauty found in the lonesome
stretches in all sections of the world,
who comes to the campus next Satur
day to appear before the students and
people of Eugene, is to be the first of
a galaxy of world-famous men who will
visit the University this year, according
to the plans recently made by a com- j
mittee of students. One of the great
men visiting the campus last year was
Alfred ZimmdVn, the noted English
scholar, who came to Oregon and spent
several days associating with the stu
dents and speaking to various assem
blies.
Perhaps something of the desire to
inake the University of Oregon the Ox
ford of the West, of the United States,1
was in the mind of student president,
John MacGregor, when he appointed a
permanent student committee to care |
for the visit of Vaehel Lindsay, one of
the first great men to visit the campus
this year. It is the plan of that com
mittee to bring other nationally and
internationally known men regularly to r
the campus, to speak to and associate
with the students. That was the way
in the first Greek and medieval uni
versities, far from our rigid system of
classes, the students learned from as
sociation with those who held the know
ledge of the times. I
Michelson Heads Committee
Fred Michelson has been appointed;
chairman of the committee to care for i
prominent vistors to the campus. Mi
chelson outlined his plans briefly yes
terday afternoon.
/ “It is the idea of the committee,” lie
fcaid, “to bring to the University jnenj
nvlio will charge admission for the stu- |t
dents to hear them. We hope by this;
means to accumulate in the treasury
a surplus amount to be used for guar
antees, and the like, in bringing espe-'
eially prominent speakers here.
“Eugene is out of the main line of
travel, except that which goes north1;
and south through the valley, and it islj
not a metropolis. Due to just this, we L
[have missed in the past many splendid
opportunities to hear prominent vistors j
to the west. This committee is to be a jj
'permanent committee, and we hope in n;
some time to bring such speakers here,,
as shall give the University and Eu-;.
gene an enviable reputation, so that the |
visitor shall feel that he, as well as thej.
students, has gained much by his visit ■
rto the campus.”
Lindsay Here Saturday
Vaehel Lindsay will arrive in Eugene j
some time next Saturday, but definite,
plans as to the beginning, length and j
termination of his visit, have not yet;
been learned. He will, however, speak j
in old Villard hall, on Saturday eve-,
ning, and the committee anticipating;
the desire to see him have put forth I
1000 tickets for sale on the campus, andj j
in town. More will be released later j
if necessary. t
Instancing the common pleasure at
the visit of Lindsay is the offer of Mrs. .
E. S. Bates to sell tickets among the 1
women’s clubs of Eugene.
Raymond Boyer is in charge of the ‘
sale of tickets on the campus, as well ^
'as throughout the town. For the pre
sent, tickets will be on sale at Kuykeu- ^
Rail’s Drug store on Willamette street,
and at the Co-op. Other places of sale ^
will probably be announced later. Rep
resentatives will sell in the different
organizations. Sale of tickets in the
women 's houses will be under the di- ■
rection of Margaret Skavlan. There | ^
will be a student in a booth next Fri- ^
day in front of the library selling tick- ^
ets, and it is expected that a large num
ber of students not living in organiza
tions will secure their tickets there. ,
COLONEL LEADER WILL SPEAK ,
Today noon, the staff of the physical
education school will meet at a lunch
eon in the Anchorage where they will
be addressed by Colonel Leader. The ]
colonel will discuss with them the mat- 1
ter of intramural sports in England c
applied to America. Colonel Leader is }
of the opinion that the American youth lj
does not know the variety of games that .
his British cousin does. Some of those .<
that the colonel has mentioned are ]
“stickey,” “raquets,” and “fives.” \
These, says Colonel Leader, would be 1
played by the American boy if he only i
knew them. The feasibility of adapting i
these games into American colleges will <
be his main topic. j 1
DISTRESSING MALADY
PREVALENT ON CAMPUS
Sickness Is Not Epidemical But Is Due
to Bad Water or Sprayed Fruit;
Warnings Issued
The malady, not epidemical in nature
but apparently due to contaminated wa
ter or sprayed fruit, which is resulting
lin considerable distress in different
parts of the state, has made its appear
i ance on the Oregon campus and the
health authorities here have sent a gen
eral letter of advice to the houses of
residence, suggesting that every precau
tion against further spread of the sick
ness be taken by boiling water and care
fully washing fruit.
Physicians have several explanations
(of the complaint, which appears in the
form of stomach trouble. It is believed
that fruit sprayed with poison may be
the cause, as such fruit is frequently
eaten without being peeled or washed.
Another theory is that impure water
is being used. Students have been
warned to thoroughly wash all fruits
before eating.
The malady is prevalent in Portland,
Eugene, and at the Oregon Agricultural
college. The symptoms are stomach dis
tress, nausea and sometimes vomiting, a
temperature running to 102 degrees in
some cases. Frequently colic and in
testinal trouble accompanied the other
fcymptoms.
The complaint doesn't resemble acute
influenza, but some physicians intimate
that it is a mild form of influenza.

LILY PROGRAM
Oil TOP FOB BIG
UNIVERSITY MIX
County Fair Will Be Feature
of Informal Gathering
Staged by Y. W.-Y. M.
DATELESS NIGHT DECREED
Impromptu Pre-Game Rally is
Planned; Interesting Stunts
Are Booked
The T. M.-T. W. all-University mix
ami “county fair,” to be held in the
Armory, I riday night, promises many
dew features. This event in the past
has been attended by more students
than any other affair during the year. 1
Last year, there were 1500, and as large '
a crowd is expected this year. In spite !
of the fact that a large number of stu
dents are going to Portland for the Ida
ho game, attendance of all those who '
remain on the campus is expected. Mar- '
ion Lay and Chuck Lamb are general
chairmen of the affair.
The “county fair” may be attended I.
in appropriate costume, and the campus
rustics will hold sway for the evening. I,'
rude shows, concessions, cider, songsters, j
minstrels, dancers, speelers, and stunts:'
ire on the program. The variety of en-1 -
:ertainment will provide something of!1
nterest to everyone. There will be,1
something to please the most fastidious
;aste. If one phase of the fair does |
lot thrill, another will, according to
he chairmen.
1
Committee Is Appointed ,
The committees for the fair are now '1
it work, to make October 27 a big night! 1
m the campus. The managerial com- :
nittee consists of John Palmer, chair- 1
nan, Art Rudd, Mildred Le Compte, Ed j *
•>aser, Doug Wright, Bill Purdy, andjJ
du-k Newliall. Managing the stunts 1
ire Katherine Pinneo, chairman, Wen- *
mi Dyer, Bob Hill, and Gordon Wilson.
Jeorge Gouchuour is supervising the '
ats. ! i
Since this is the night before the l'
)regon-Idaho game, there will be an ini- (1
iromptu rally. This will b« followed *
>y singing Oregon songs, as an educa- a
ion to the freshmen, and an inspiration ?
o the old students. “Skinny” Reed 1
.'ill lead the first Oregon song fest of '
he year, and will add his musical abil
ty to the evening.
Small coins will be necessary for ad
lisson, and for the purchase of hot
ogs, peanuts, and various other fair
ccessories. The evening has been an
ounced as a no-date night in the wo
len’s houses. If former affairs oi”this
ature are any criterion, this announee
lent will apply only to dates made pre
ious to the affair.
Journalists Plan Paper
Journalists who were recently initia
?d into Sigma Delta Chi, national liono
iry journalism fraternity intimate that
he cream of the world’s news is to be
roadcast hot from the press. The in
dates are not yet willing to make their
Ians for rapid and interesting news
istributon known, but it is believed
:iat a sheet far more modern than last
ear's Fizz Bang will be distributed at
re “county fair.”
The all-University mix, held annually a
nder the auspices of the campus Y. M.:
. A. and Y. W. C. A., is the one big | f
vent of the scholastic year in which
lformalty is the dominant note. In
le past the stunts have always proved
iteresting and the committee in charge “
romises “home made” theatrical per
irinances which will be up to the stan
ard.
10 HUNGRY GIRLS TODAY;;
- c(
o-Eds May Fill Up on Milk and o
Crackers at Woman’s Gym s<
- f<
Somewhere between the cold gray ,l
ours of dawn and those long-drawn out
3ns where luncheon time seems as far
T as Christmas, comes a gnawing sensa
on in the pit of one’s stomach that '’
in not be overcome. It makes study' ll
npossible, and causes one’s head to '
vim.
w
A remedy for this situation has at f
st been discovered. Women’s League, •
[ways on hand to help, has solved the
roblem by putting on sale at Mrs.
x-mpy’s counter bottles of rich, creamy |(
ilk, and stacks of crisp, brown graham
•ackers. And for ten cents one may ^
urchase a whole pint of milk and en- ,
agh crackers to go with it. t.
Today the sale begins, and now there 8
ill be no excuse for pangs of hunger
mong the co-eds, in the afternoons or a
ie morning. For those who crave,ti
veets, Hershey bars also are on sale, |o|
nd someone will be at the counter at b
11 hours to supply the needs of hungry ;t<

SHORT AND SNAPPY
SLOGAN SELECTED
FOR HOMECOMING
Theme Like Those Which Have
Been Featured in Past;
150 Submitted
FRESHMAN WINS $5 PRIZE
Committee Has Difficulty in
Choosing Between Two
Similar Phrases
• Home Again;
Fight Again;
Win Again.”
This is the slogan which has been
•hosen for the 19:2:1 homecoming. The
new battlecry was written by Steele
Winterer, a freshman from Carlton, Or
'gon, residing in Friendly hall. More
linn 150 slogans were submitted, most
>f which were regarded as too long to
5e effective. Others sacrificed too much
Joint to gain a rhyme.
Bernice Shaw, a Portland girl, sub
nitted a slogan which was an exact
luplieate of the one written by Win
erer, with the exception that she had
Oregon affixed to the ending, thus leng
hening the slogan while decreasing its
effectiveness. Winterer wins the $5 cash
irize offered by Jack Benefiel, graduate
naaager. The committee which chose
he slogan was composed of Miss Grace
Hdgington, George Turnbull and Jack1
Jenefiel.
Gilbert Won Last Year
Last year the slogan contest was won
>v Dr. James “Jimmie” Gilbert, ’03,
nth his slogan “Home to Meet ’Em,
lack to Beat ’Em.” Some other slo
;ans which have decorated the campus
nil blazed forth in myriads of multi
olored lights in the past were, “You
lan’t Bent Oregon Fight,” “Homel
tgain, Win Again, Oregon,” and the j
dmitted peer of them all “Fight ’Em 11
Jregon” of the Bezdek era.
According to a tentative program 11
ssued by Leith Abbot, general chair- j I
mn of the homecoming committee, the (
vent will begin with a big rally on Fri- j <
ay night which will be followed by get- j 1
jgethers in the various organizations
nd at the “Y” hut. The American Le
ion parade will be the Saturday morn
lg feature and at noon the campus
incheon will be held.
Game to Be Saturday
During the afternoon the W. S. C.
regon game and allied features, which
icludes the Pacific Coast conference
ross country meet and the parade of
le order of the “O,” will be staged on
ayward field. The homecoming dances
ill be held Saturday evening.
It is expected that the R. O. T. C.
ad the band will take part in the par
le Saturday morning, and Leith Ab
ott requests that every ex-service man
a the campus will turn out either in
niform or in civics and cooperate with
le local Legion post in the morning
>remonies. In order that everyone can
irticipate in the morning ceremonies A
io Alumni meeting has been advanced |[
> 9 o’clock so as to avoid any con- ft
icts. I f
The homecoming directorate will meet
i Dean Straub’s offlre this evening at

WASHINGTON GAME
LOOMS US NEMESIS
OF FROSH PLAYERS
With Game Four Days Away,
Part of Team to Be Entirely
Developed Again
FROSH REGULARS CRIPPLED
Purple and Gold Has Two Com
plete Squads Which May Be
Pitted Against Oregon
Gloom of tho deepest and most dis
heartening sort pervades the freshman
football camp. With the toughest game
of the season but four days off, Coaches
Williams, Manerud and Karl face the
prospect of developing almost an entire
ly new team, for in all probability six
of the most dependable men will be un
able to play at all, while several others
aii' badly handicapped with injuries.
The tie game with Columbia Univer
sity last Saturday was dearly earned.
As a result of the strenuous fight which
the yearlings made against their heav
ier rivals, l’urvine, one of the best half
back prospects in the squad is suffering
from severely wrenched muscles and
probably will be out of the lineup for
two weeks. Hunt, who played a whale
of a game at guard, is limping around
with a badly crippled knee, and his
prospects for participating for at least
a week are very slight. Oosser, the yoar
ling’s lighting center, is laid up with
injuries to his chest. Shroove, another
promising halfback sustained an injury
to his hip which may incapacitate him
for some time. Wilcox, another guard
who plays a bang-up game, suffered in
juries to his ankle which will probably
keep him on the sidelines for ten days.
The disappointment occasioned by
these casualties was augmented by the
news that Warren, an end of ability,
has been forced to discontinue football
for the rest of tho year.
Players Handicapped
In addition to these major injuries
o the team, nearly every other fresh
nan who participated in the fracas Hat
irduy is handicapped in somo way or
>ther with minor hurts, and tho coaches
nay be forced to develop an entirely
lew lineup. With the biggest and hard
'st clash on the Prosli calendar in sight
t is no mean job that tho coaches are
hieing. This big game is scheduled for
he University of Washington stadium
it Seattle next Saturday at which time
he Oregon yearlings will journey to
lie Puget Sound metropolis to battle
vith tho freshmen of tho Purple and
iold institution, in tho second game
‘vi r played between the first year teams
>f the two institutions.
That the Oregon lads will face tough
ipposition is a certainty, judging from
he reports which have been emanating
rom Seattle regarding tile work of tl>e
Washington yearlings. Tho Washing
on frosli have boon trouncing all com
th with startling regularity ^so far.
n fact, there are so many good pig
kin artists turning out for freshman
ootball at the Seattle institution that
hey have been organized into two
earns of practically equal strength.
>no of these is known as the Golds
ind the other the Purples, and each of
hem has been playing a game every
Saturday since tho season started, noi
her as yet having tasted defeat. A
ictory over Kverett High, last year’s
hampions of the Northwest, is the
atest achievement of the Golds.
Which one of these two aggregations
iaz’s proteges will meet is notknown
iut they may face an eleven composed
f tho combined talent of tho two, in
Uiich case the going will be twice as
ard. In the face of all these obstacles
loach Williams has very little prospect
f victory next Bat unlay.
Half Team Crippled
“With half the team crippled, wo
an’t expect to make much of asliovving
inlets pure fight will hold down the
VashingtonianH,” was his comment last
light. Last year the Oregon Frosh were
lefeated by the big score of 42 to 7.
The work of the freshmen against
Columbia Saturday has established the
act that they have a very good line
nit the work of the backfield is ragged
n spots. With a view to alleviating
his raggedness the coaches are paying
imeh attention to the backs this week.
Vlbcrt Sinclair, who has been playing
: great game at tackle, may be shifted
o the baekfield. Several other chauges
ire contemplated.
LETTERS MUST BE SIGNED
