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. -

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,

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.

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
.

ANNUAL Y.W.-Y.M

MINSTREL SHOW
Approximately 700 Persons!

“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

ADVERTISING SERVICE
IS FEATURE OF EMERALD
Purpose to Baise Standards of Paper;
Bandolpb Kuhn Copy Desk Head,
Better Work Expected
A new feature has been incorpora
ted into the Emerald this year, namely
the Emerald Advertising Copy Service,
in reality the class in advanced adver
tising under the supervision of Profes
sor Thacher and working in conjunction
with the Emerald staff which is declar
ed by Bandolpb Kuhn, the head of the
service, to be an effort to raise the
standards of Emerald advetising.
“It really makes an advertising ag
ency of the class,” said Kuhn. “It
works like this. 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. The publication iB printed for
the Harvard graduate school of busi
ness administration and is recognized
throughout the country as a standard
i paper in its line. Many of the foremost
business and industrial publications ir
the country are to be obtained for use
in connection with courses in the com
merce department.

150,000 CHECK GIVEN
FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL
—
Education Board Donates Fund
for Equiping Unit
A cheek for $50,000 was received yes
terday by the University of Oregon
from the Genoral Education Board, New
York City, the money to bo usod prin
cipally for the maintenance and equip
ment of the main unit of MacKenzie
hall, of ^he University School of Med
icine at Portland. 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

'Conference Officials Dope

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.

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.
