Today, as opposed to a few decades r ago, the "scholars” are in a decided minority at an institution of higher learning. Outside activities, multitudinous, demanding at tention draw away the student of today from the pure pursuit of knowledge. Partly at least the universities themselves may be blamed, and in response to the commercialized demands of a busy hurrying era have discarded the old college of liberal arts and sciences idea in favor of specialized courses that in some instances require a minimum of real academic work in preparation. This wave of ‘ hurry to get out into competitive fields, even though inadequately prepared, has been accompanied by a springing up of innumerable student activi ties in the way of honor societies and student enterprises. As a nat ural consequence, entrance of students into all possible activities has been unconsciously stressed. The University of Oregon has taken a forward step in raising standards and quality of classroom work, and it is up to the Oregon student body to move forward too and remember that after all we come to college essentially for those the classroom uffords. Far too much stress is laid today upon the honors a man has achieved. The judgment of a man’s ability and accomplishments is often made on the basis of the number of pins that decorate his Vest. Too often the ability for real learning is underrated. It means little to say that a man is a scholar in addressing college students. Too often we forget that the ultimate end of university training should be a scholarly one. The test of Oregon’s football team comes this afternoon when the Lemon-Yellow swings into action against the strong Idaho team on Multnomah field today. Oregon has a slight edge on the dope, a very slight edge. The Idaho team may this year realize the dream of years and vanquish the Lemon-Yellow. The possibility of that just barely exists, for the Oregon team is in poor condition for the fray. Should the Lemon-Yellow be vanquished, that furnishes a test for you. Oregon loyalty, Oregon traditions demand the same unqualified sup port for a team that loses as one that wins. STATE AID MEN FEWER THIS YEAR THAN LAST Greater Percentage Upperclassmen; Number of Undergraduates Smaller Each Year The number of ex-service men, who have applied for financial assistance under the State Aid law, is much small er this year than last, according to Miss Abbie Ledward, who has charge of State Aid in the University. There are, at present, 05 men in school receiving the $25 monthly allowance from the state. The State Aid measure was adopted in 1919 and during the first year 4(50 men applied for its lenefits. This num ber was reduced to 350 in 1920, 275 in 1921 and 214 last year. Men who were iu the service are al lowed a maximum of $800 for their four yiars in college and t'eij have the priv ilege of tihiig iho n or.ey in regular amounts at ant time they desire wh eh enables them to attend school whenever it is convenient fer them. The greater percentage of the men, who applied for state aid this year, are upperclassmen. Of the 105, 13 are post graduates, 70 seniors, 45 juniors, 21 sophomores, 3 freshmen, and 13 are ape cial students. LITTLE ORCHESTRAS ARE BEING ORGANIZED Popular Music to Be Taught; Tryouts Not Necessary; Any Organisation May Enter Members Popular music is not to be taboo iu the instruction given to the "little orchestras” which are being organised by Rex Underwood, director of the University orchestra. It will be taught as well as classical music, the only re quirement being that orchestration scores be supplied by the players, since it will not be possible for the school of music to do so because most of it is not lasting and the expense would be too great. The scores for other music, however, will be supplied by the school. There are no tryouts for places in these orchestras and so far about 20 people have signed up. Newman club has applied for instruction with an organized group of eight, and iudivid ual requests have been received from various housing organizations. An at tempt. is being made to have an or chestra in each house, and when this is not possible players from one or two houses will be grouped. Students of the class in orchestration, which is given by Mrs. Anna Lands bury Heck, of the school of music, will bo in charge of the “little orchestras” and they will be under the direction and supervision of Mrs. Heck, with Mi. udewood as consultant in case of dif ficulty. I.ittle orchestras, with student direc tors, are comparatively new features in schools of music and Mr. Underwood 'believes that the University is the pio neer in this venture in Pacific coast schools. Special instruction in popular music in school orchestras is also new. The chief purpose of it is that it will enable houses to supply their own mu sic tor dances and entertainments. Organization of the University and tiuild theater orchestras has been de layed and will not be completed until their rehearsal Tuesday night. NEW PRESS BOX IS BUILT Reporters Have Telephonic Connection With Various Newspapers If you happen to bo a newspaper re porter while watching the games on Hayward field, you now have a decided advantage over your sight seeing com petitors. For the press box which was located below the president's box in the grandstand, has been torn away and a new one built on the roof. There is nothing now to obstruct the reporter's view of the outire field. The new box is larger than the old and is fitted up with a telephone outfit by which the representatives of the dif ferent papers are able to send out the results of the games. Another advantage of the now loea tion is that the seating capacity of the grandstand is enlarged by perhaps fifty seats. Head the Classified Ad celaian. CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only. Copy must be in this >fflce by i :30 on the day before it is to be published and must be limited to 25 words. Ortgon Club—Meeting Monday eve ning at 7:15 p. m. in Y hut. Very im portant. Every member urged to come. All Girls not living in organized houses of residence are invited to the Oregon club party at the Bungalow Monday evening at 5:15. Women’s Physical Examinations—All upperclass women taking physical ed ucation must get their physical ex aminations off by October 28. Get appointment at gymnasum office, Wo man 's building. All Do Moleys who are now attending the University are requested to be present at a meeting called for Wed nesday, November 1st, at 6 o’clock, in the Anchorage. As this is the first meeting of the year it is expected that every one should come and get acquainted. The Technical Society of Oregon will hold their first monthly meeting Wed nesday, November 1st, at 7:30 p. m., in room 105 Deady. Professor Staf ford will speak on the subject of “Chemical Engineering as an Occu pation,” a subject that will be of intense interest to all pre-engineers and chemists, All faculty and stu dents interested are cordially invited to attend. Members of the society are urged to be present. DEAN OF MUSIC SCHOOL FORMS CONCERT BUREAU Owen Calloway, Appointed Director of Organization, Will Arrange for Campus Recitals jn response to requests raaae upon Hie faculty of the school of music for professional services, a concert bureau lias been organized by Dr. John J. Landsbury, dean of the school and the members of the faculty. Owen Callo way lias been made director of the bu reau and will make arrangements for any concerts or recitals that may be given. The public concerts given some time during the year by each member of the faculty will not come under the di rection of the bureau, but will be, as usual, under the School of Music. One of the chief functions of the bureau will be to promote musical ac tivities off the campus, and it is believ ed that this will result in the School of Music becoming better known throughout the state. Tentative plans are being made for group concerts and recitals in Eugene and Portland and arrangements will be made for sho'rt trips to various parts of the state. In former years the demand upon the faculty for their services has been ex ceedingly heavy, and it is hoped to al leviate this to a certain extent through the bureau. A record will also be kept Iby the bureau of the times when the various people are available, and it is thought that on the whole confusion of any kind will be avoided and better results obtained. — COMMUNICATION CIGARETTE ADS CRITICIZED To the Editor: Why is it necessary for the Emerald | to run advertisements for cigarettes? It seems to me that most of the high jer type of newspapers do not accept ?uch advertising and that our student '(paper could put itself on a higher I plane if it would not run them. I think that they may create a bad in , fluence on the campus and for the I readers of the paper. The University could assume a place j of leadership if it would take this step and 1 would like to see it done. Since the war there has been more of this sort of thing than before and I would like to see something done to stop it. 1 have heard that the matter has home up for discussion before, but I would like to hear what other students think of it. STUDENT. Mr. E. O. Payne of Portland Cartoonist and Illustrator will appear in a Pre-Sermon ENTERTAINMENT at the First Christian Church Oak and lltli Sunday Evening at 7:15 Mr. Payne's work has ap peared in the leading news papers of the West. Students are cordially invited. PLANS FOR HOMECOMING LUNCHEON MADE KNOWN All Students in University to Be Asked to Give $50 for General Fund; Menu Is Announced The hearty co-operation of the entire ; student body in avoiding confusion and congestion at the annual campus lun cheon is asked by Bernice Altstoek, fchairman of the luncheon committee. She expects that a larger crowd of j people will be fed this year than ever j before. “Guard the silverware, and enjoy the menu,” is the word which is being cir culated by the committee. The lun cheon will be held in the men’s indoor gym, and Miss Altstoek requests that j the students do not decorate the vacant: lot across the street and adjacent to j Dean Sheldon’s home with the spoons. The committee believes that the Uni versity will buy some new eating uten sils this year, and hence their anxiety to guard them. As to the method of financing the luncheon, the various women's and men’s organizations will not be asked to furnish food ths year, as formerly, hut instead every student in the Uni versity regardless of affiliations, will be asked to pay fifty cents into the luncheon treasury. The committee be lieves that a great deal of trouble and confusion will be eliminated in this manner. .Regarding the menu, the following list of “eatables” has been announced: Scalloped potatoes, cold veal and pork, bread and butter sandwiches, fruit sal ad, pickles (if the treasury will stand the strain), coffee, cider and doughnuts.

Inspection Solicited IDAHO GAME TO BE IN EUGENE ON THE OBAK WALLACE SCORE BOARD Happy Hundreds Hurry to Holier Huskily for First Frantic Football Fracas It is officially announced that the Idaho-Oregon fooball game will be played for the majority of the Oregon rooters it Obak Wallace’s headquarters for college men. Everything will be official except the referee's whistle and the husky holler ing of the thundering two thousand and all that goes with it. Nothing will be kept back. That’s Obak Service. Thus it always is for those who haven't a few thousand shares of Southern Pa cific stock or a scrap book full of Lib erty Bonds. You ’ll always find a friend ly face and a good time at the Col lege Men’s Club at Obak's. The Idaho contest at Obak’s is going to prove entirely unique as football game go because* of the many added fea tures that will be provided for the fans. The chill is going to be taken from the usual smarting October wind as our bleachers are steam heated. Seats with backs and plenty of room for your feet will put more interest in the score. The best pool tables are going to be placed at convenient intervals in the grandstand to give the fans plenty of chance to enjoy themselves when the game gets ’ uninteresting. What gridiron could duplicate such a service? And hot dogs! Man our prespiring puppies have anything in the field skin ned to death when it comes to juicy, ap petite teasers. And they don’t bark, nor will you be bothered by the barking of their keepers. You can get them hot off the fire at our Snow White Lunch eonette. No more bottles to hang onto or to kick around under foot and no more col ored water at prices that would make a profiteer weep, when you get dry.
