Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 NUMBER 22 ADOPTION RITES TO BE FEATURED AT HOMECOMING Alumni of Other Colleges Will Be Taken into Oregon Fold Before Big Game RADIO MAY SUMMON CLAN Portland Wireless Stations Will Probably Broadcast University Songs Plans for “adoption” of alumni of other institutions, residing in the state of Oregon are practically complete, ac cording to announcement made yester day by Miss Grace Edgington, alumni secretary. Approximately 1600 letters are being sent out to the prospective “sons” during the first of next week. The communications contain an invita tion from President Campbell to adopt, and be adopted, by Oregon and extends a greeting of friendship to all “alums” residing in the state. The University of Michigan leads the list in the number of her academic sons living in the state, the number approx imating 150. The University of Cali fornia boasts of a large number, as do also Harvard, Princeton, University of Wisconsin and Amherst. Besides the message from the presi dent of the University, the letters to these alumni will contain a joint letter from John MacGregor, student presi dent and chairman of Homecoming week, Leith Abbott presenting the stu dent message to the readers. Ceremony on Hayward The adoption ceremony will take place on Hayward field between the halves of the Homecoming Oregon-W. S. C. football game. At that time Pres ident Campbell will administer the oath of friendship and adoption, and extend a greeting to Oregon’s new associates and sons. Regarding the annual Homecoming dance which will take place on Sat urday night after the game during the Homecoming week-end, the committee waxes mysterious, and refuses to make statement other than that ^eshmen and sophomores will dance at the Eugene ar mory, to be undecorated but with good punch and a good orchestra, and the up perclassmen ajjd othcTSjalumni and. vis itors will make merry at the Woman's bmldiSjf. - :1m-— dieeaseiag-'-tHe— upperelass and alumni dance wh>h will be held at tue Woman's building, amid a “South Sea Island Setting,” Owen Callaway, chair man of the eommitW in charge, stated that the punch for the occasion would ■“harmonize with the scenery.” He left the statement unexplained, permitting the imagination of each individual stu dent to decide “how such things could be.” i Governor Slay Come The list of patrons and patronesses for the affari has not yet been an nounced, but it is anticipated that Gov ernor and Mrs. Oleott and prpminent persons throughout the state will be in the receiving line. Prominent members of the University faculty will act as hosts, jointly with the students. Good music is assured for the occasion. Homecoming correspondence envel opes for the students are now on sale at the Co-op according to Leith Abbott, (Continued on page four.) POT AND QUILL GIRLS HOPEFUL BUT HOMELESS ! 'Members Planning Big Tear; Green Ink Mere Beginning; Headquar ters in Art Buildng Burned Most persons do not realize that in (the University fire, last summer, the I lady scribes of the campus, yclept Pot jland Quill, lost their headquarters, (their rendezvous. In the basement of : the Art building, to be reached only by skillful winding of devious routes, was the stronghold of the writers. The abode was hung with colorful curtains and rejection slips, and was the scene of hobnobbing with fellow vers lib rists and frenzied flirting with the muses. A Chinese carved lamp loaiy ed to Lillian Auld by her aunt, Mrs. Seaton, lit the way to fame; around a table, stencilled with Pot and Quill lde8ign, were twelve chairs for the •meetings of the Bohemians—and in one corner a cabinet containing orig inal manuscripts,—all gone! But the ardour of the budding wri ters is not lost, and if anyone had happened into the women’s rooms of the Woman’s building Tuesday eve ning where the crackling fire was the jbnly light, a sound like this would tiave greeted his ears: “—I twirl with dash My big moustache That strikes the soul to fear.—” Merely Margaret Skavlan recited her newest, “The Pirate’s Song.” Or there might have been a burst of laughter at the end of Mary Lou Bur Iton’s last story, Sine Qua Non. Or— almost anything. One cannot tell much | about women in general but one knows still less about women writers. oust at present the wearers of the smocks are looking for a new home and planning a big year, and they say that Green Ink was a mere beginning. TWO GENERATIONS ATTEND UNIVERSITY Alumni Send Children to Their Alm^ Mater Twenty-three students, exclusive of [freshmen, now attending the University ■belong to the second generation of Ore jgon students, according to data avail able at the office of the alumni secre tary. The University is proud to ac knowledge the sons and daughters of former Oregon students and hopes to add from time to time to the list of names of others as the records are made more complete. If there are any stu dents attending the University whose names do not appear on the list below, they are requested to inform the alumni secretary. The list as it now stands includes the following, with the names of the parents preceding those of the children. Elmer E. Angell, ex- ’84; Lowell E. Attgell, ’25. E. H.

Haven tor Order of Dreamstickl3j Pictured as Palatiai Domicile Ever since the founding of the Uni versity. the puffers of dreamsticks have oeeii lurced to indulge ir. their habitual pleasure under the dcignated tree by tie Ad building. In the springtime this bit of foliage answers the purpose admir ably. The vctim of the weed can re cline on the grass in the shade, put his head on the board walk and blow rings at the pale spring sky. But what of the long winter days when the wind whips about the old bush. or the rain pelts down through the naked branches. Under such conditions the joy of a smoke is obliterated. To en joy a pill one must be at ease, mentally and physically. The brain must be de void of the power of thought and all the muscles of the body must be in a state of relaxation. Bain and wind put both of these symptoms to rout and the plea sure of a drag at the dreamstiek is minus. Would that we had a haven for the pill puffers! The old eorner would do for the site of the smoke blowers’ rest. Let us describe the dope domicile that we would erect for the knights of the ■weed, had we the money. A marble structure at least 20 by 30 with a stained glass roof. On the in terior a Persian rug with dizzy scrolls to aid the weed in stupifying the smok er. Around the sides will be deep leather-upholstered lounges, that will enable the fiend of puff to slump far down and so crowd his lungs for deeper inhalation of the stimulating smoke. Two feet from the floor and three feet from the lounge a brass rail will run around the room. This is for the rest ing of the feet after the dash from class. Decorations will be in the form of cigarette announcements. Pachyderm, Fortunate Strike, “222,” Lesterfield, will be the mural scheme. Any inhaler of the poisoned smoke who has a favor ite brand not mentioned may bring in his contribution of art and tack it on the wall or floor. For reading matter there will be ‘‘Cigarette Papers by Zig Zag” and other stati.ucs of the tobacco crop. T*is a wonderful dream, but we have n’t the financial impetus for the under taking. A bench of cement, patterned after the senior bench, might be con structed in the proximity of the smoke . (Continued on page four.) I ANNUAL Y.W.-Y.M MIX FEATURED BY MINSTREL SHOW Approximately 700 Persons! on Hand Last Night for ; Big Time in Armory NEWS tfOYS SELL PAPER — “Scandal Sheet” Carries Spicy1 Comment About Campus; Piggers Present Despite the fact that the Portland exodus had taken a goodly number of the students out of the city, hundreds of the University folk gathered in the Eugene armory last night for the an nual Y. M.-Y. W. mix. Lack of num bers was made up by a superfluity of enthusiasm, fun and joviality. Infor mality was the dominant note of the affair. The first broadside of good cheer was turned loose on the assembled students when the Alpha Phi serority staged a burlesque, known “As You Like It.” Hardly had the applause ceased echoing through the large building, which was undecorated for the occasion, when a score of vociferous “newsboys” started calling their wares from all parts of the ball, announcing that the Sigma Delta Chi “scandal sheet” had on tap some of the spiciest comment liberated in the University group since the famous “Fiz Bang” of last year. The sheet, which was edited by the Sigma Delta Chi initiates, this year was called “The Brews,” and the banner headline con veyed the information that a faculty man killed a bottle of kickless bever age. The paper was a miniature of a well-known daily which plays up the sensational. * Thetas Stage Minstrel After the swarm of scarlet sheets had been hastily read, Kappa Alpha Theta staged a minstrel, which receiv ed much applause. Tho Y. M. C. A. stunts followed this, one of the features of their program being the Filipino stringed quartet. The Filipino lads also 'put on the La Jota dance. Featuring Larson’s melodies, the S. 'A. E. orchestra received a great hand from the students. This orchestra was composed ol six pieces. The Alpha Chi Omega dancing act followed the 8. A. fi. musical performance. ”On to Portland” was the dominant hote of the pep talk given by Yell King Rosebraugh, who led the vociferous re presentatives of the Thundering Thou sand in the Vasity battle-crys. Cider, doughnuts and hot dogs—this was the menu which was served to the merrymakers after the conclusion of the entertainment. The country fair idea characterized the stage scenery, and many of the students were costum ed for the setting. Plggers Are Chastened Many'of the students and some of the townspeople were in the gallery, and it was estimated that approximate ly 700 was the total attendance. Some of the observant students on the main floor noticed that “piggers” were in the gallery and these were duly “chas tened” from the floor. White collars were taboo and several victims were made a public example. All the main attractions of the mix this year year were on the stage, which had a rural setting. Art Rosebraugh was the official announcer and the var ious acts were heralded from the stage in big-circus style. Although “The Brew” had a street! sale as well as the organized distribu tion in the armory, members of Sigma Delta Chi have anounced that a limited number of copies were left over. Copies can be obtained from members of the j journalism fraternity today and Mon day in the “shack,” the head of the school of journalism on the campus. VETERANS’ CHIEF COMING McNulty Urges Employment of Wound ed Gov’t Trained War Veterans W. T. McNulty, head of the United States Veterans Bureau, in Oregon, will be in Eugene November 2, to urge em ployment of wounded government trained war veterans. There are many unemplov»d war vet erans in this part of Oregon, according to Mr. McNulty, who have completed vocational courses and can be employed on the basis of capability rather than for sentimental reasons. Diplomas or I certificates of graduation will be pre ! scnted to the veterans when they suc cessfully complete their courses which I will-nfiord information as to the quali ! fica,ions of the men. Mr. McNulty has his office in the My jler building, Portland and urges em ! ployers to write to him in case of im ] mediate prospeet of a position for » j veteran.

The business staff of the Emerald sells the idea of adver tising to the town merchant, and the ac count is turned over to one of the mem bers of the class who goes down, inter views the merchant, investigates the product and then writes the ad. “I believe it will result in more and better advertising,” continued Kuhn, “and bo far as I have been able to learn ris the only service of the kind in a col lege paper.” NEW PUBLICATION TAKEN The Harvard Business Review, a mag azine devoted to business topics and business research has been added to the commerce department for use as a re ference.

This is the final check on a pledge of $163,269.50 made by the General Education Board toward aiding the development of the school of medicine. The pledge was made after a visit to the school of medicine two years ago by Dr. Abraham Flexner, secrotary of the General Education Board. Dr. Flox ner made an inspection of the school and surveyed the work of the institu tion. MaeKenzie hall is completed and will be dedicated, according to present plans, in January. The cost of con struction of the new medical unit was shared equally by the State of Oregon and the General Education Board. The state appropriated $113,269.50 and the board an equal amount. The $50,000 check for equipment and maintenance brings the gift of the board to $163, 269.50. New Equipment Added The latest equipment will be provided in the now building. Various depart ments of the school are already in their new quarters. The $50,000 gift makes possible the installation of additional equipment of the most modern type. The General Education Board, which was established by John D. Rockefeller, is keenly interested in medical educa tion throughout the U. S. Forty milion dollars was placed at the command of the General Education Board for med ical education by the founders. The University of Oregon School of Medicine serves the entire Northwest, •including British Columbia and Alaska. Owing to the fact that the school has developed in recent years its equipment s of the most modern type and is so rcognized by medical instructors who have visited the school. High Standards Limit Classes The total enrollment of the school of medicine is 193, an increase over last (Continued on page four.) COACH BELIEVES REAL TEST FACED 'Conference Officials Dope Idaho to Equal Oregon in Grid Prowess GEM STATERS HAVE JINX Argonauts Taken into Camp Many Times By Varsity in Past Years The Varsity meets an opponent this aftenoon that has never defeated them; an opponent which each year grows stronger and seems to have a chance, but so far has never produced the team that could humble the Lemon-Yellow el e' en. Idaho this year is doped by confer ence officials to have just as good a team as Oregon, and a great deal is said to depend on the breaks of tho game. Coach Huntington before leaving for Portland said that tho Varsity is up against the real thing in today’s bat tlo, and that the men would have to play a better grade football than they have shown so far this soason if they expect to win. Lineup Is Formidable Although the team is not at its strongest, tho lineup which will face Idaho will be formidable, as the team which will start has a rejuvenated lino, and a fast bnekfield. Chuck Parsons, who has been playing in the line all year was shifted to tho bnekfield aftor the Whitman game and may show some of his old brilliance carrying the ball, as Coach Huntington declared that Chuck would probably start the game as one of the halves. The line is the strong part of the team though, for with Callison at cen ter, Tiny and Floyd Shields as guards, and McKeown and Vonder Ahe as tackles they should be able to tear up any line. Callison’s steady head and sure passing is a big asset at center, and his two yours of experience will help bolster the team. Tiny Shields at guard will also give the left side of the line the strength which has been missing lately. In the Multnomah game it was through the left side of tho line that most of the yardage was gained, and with Tiny in there it will bo a different story. Backfleld Has Speed The backfleld, although crippled by the loss of Hunk Latham, will neverthe less be strong and fast, for they will have their quarterback back in the line up again in Hal Chapman, who is also slated to do the punting in the game this afternoon. Tho other backfleld men who will start the game are rather in doubt but will probably be Parsons and King as halves and Ward Johnson at full. ilcports that have como from the Ida ho camp indicate that tho Northern (Continued on page four.) Senior Sleuth Arrives Today; Tells Mysteries of Leap Week The Senior Sleuth arrived on tho campus today and has partially satia ted her natural curiosity regarding the events of the coming week. She has entered unbeknownst into the midst of groups of seniors—women in particular—and already has worm ed her way into the “inside dope” re garding that time-honored custom— Senior Leap Week. The following women have bribed her to keep quiet about the number of dates already rounded up by them for senior week, but she is bold en ough to state that they amount to one each afternoon and evening, and sev eral extras in between: One blond Pi Phi, president of a popular women’s organization on the campus; an Alpha Chi Omega senior, who attends meet ings of student body councils every Wednesday evening—(it is rumored that she has made arrangements for a canoe party with a certain sandy-hair ed bespectacled A. T. O. after the meeting is over). A dark-eyed Theta who recently said to her sister seniors in class meet ing to “go the limit; don’t stop until your cash is gone anil you’re going too!” It is the observation of the Hleuth that she must have almost un limited financial backing. Whispers of open house have reach ed her keen ears. Some of the broth ers are making extensive plans for the entertainment of their guests, but so far she has been unable to get anything definite. Some of the women, how ever, are planning to call in grand style; roller skates, express wagons, auto trucks, and carriages will be in evidence. One senior, wearing dark-rimmed spectacles, was heard to mutter, | “That’s the fifteenth girl that has i invited me to the Rat Race. What’s the matter with me—or can it possiby ■bo that I’m a good dancer. I’d much rather have them ask me to go up the Race.” Stories will appear at a later date written by the Senior Sleuth telling of | her further observaitons of the tactics which women employ when given the ; opportunity to exercise their own judgment in the matter of social en I gagements.
