VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1922 NUMBER 26 PHILIPPINE VIEWS TO FEATURE TALK OF DR.W.P.SMITH Assembly Discussion Also to Cover Desire of Islands for Independence NATIVE ATHLETICS NOTED Ancient and Modern Styles of Architecture Will Be Pictured Intimate glimpses, both in word and in picture, of a land little known to’ Americans will be the feature of the assembly to be held in Villard this morning when Dr. Warren D. Smith de livers an illustrated lecture on the Phil ippine islands. Dr. Smith, who is head of the University department of geol ogy, is recognized in the scientific world as one of the greatest authorities on the geology of the Philippine archipelago. During the assembly hour today, Dr. Smith, who recently returned from the Philippines, will only casually refer to the geology of the islands of the south Pacific, but will touch more fully upon a topic which but a few days ago was flashed by cable from Manila as live news. That cable message bore the news that the Filipino people, through their representatives, had made another demand for complete independence from the United States. Dr. Smith will dis cuss this subject during the assembly hour, giving both the American and the Filipino point of view concerning the question. Another subject which Dr. Smith will talk on this morning is “The Filipino as an Athlete.” Not only as a person who has spent 12 years in the islands will Dr. Smith tell of the superb phys ical qualities of the natives of the Phil ippine archipelago, but as a man who has competed with those natives on the cinder track. Dr. Smith was a member of the American team which took part in the Far Eastern Olympiad held in Honolulu in 1914. These olympiads are held every two years, instead of every four. Dr. Smith was a member of the American relay team. The greater part of the assembly per iod is to be taken up with the illustra ted lecture. All the slides were photo graphed by Dr. Smith or his associates and around each when thrown on the screen will be woven an interesting nar rative. Of special interest to students of architecture will be the display of a series of slides showing the various styles of architecture in the Philippines. Moorish castles, Catholic cathedrals, na tive structures, and the fine type of modern buildings will be shown in pic tures and described by the lecturer. Many of the slides are colored and stand out with wonderful clearness of outline. Several of the slides will show the na tives of the islands in their primitive habitat. One of the most primitve tribes of the archipelago is the Igorots of northern Luzon. In preparing their dead for burial, the Igorots smoke the corpse, then place it in a secluded cave. One of the slides to be shown by Dr. Smith will illustrate the manner in which the dead are embalmed. Not only are the customs of the is land natives strange, but there are also many unusual things in the natural world. A slide to be used by Dr. Smith will show a gigantic clam, known as the Tridacna. Some of this species weigh hundreds of pounds. HOMECOMING DUES TO BE COLLECTED CAMPUS LUNCHEON REQUIRES PAYMENT OF 50c SUM Unaffiliated Students to Pay Amount At Y Hut, Co-Op and Booths; Houses’ Fees Due Tonight Collection of 50 cents from every stu dent enrolled in the University fjr the Homecoming campus luncheon will start this morning, according to Hal Simp son, president of the senior class. The luncheon this year is to be prepared under the supervision of Mrs. Edna Dat son, in charge of the hails of residence. All living organizations have been re quested to obtain the 50 cents from the i members and have the money ready oy this evening. Students living outside of organizations have been asked to pay their 50 cents to solicitors at the cam pus Y. M. C. A., the Co-op, at the booths : or to the individual solicitors. In order ‘ to insure the success of the luncheon, which is one of the features of the annual Homecoming, the committee in charge of the collection desire to make the students realize that it is important that they contribute. No meals are to be served at any of the organizations on that day, Saturday, November 11. In the past the various houses have provided the food for the luncheon, but with the increasing number of students living outside of organizations, the bur den has grown too heavy. The cam paign for 50 cents from all the students will be completed this week-end, ac cording to plans. Students not living in the halls of residence or in fraternities have been urged to contribute to the fund prompt ly, and to realize that for the money paid in they will obtain a good meal and have the privilege of taking guests to the luncheon. The meal this year is to be superior to those of other years. Sandwiches, scalloped potatoes, roast meat, pickles, and doughnuts are listed on the menu.

Bailey of Junction City, who was president of the 1913 class of the University of Oregon in his senior year, visited the campus yesterday to discuss with the alumni secretary and ethers plans for the tenth annual re union of the 1913 class at the June com mencement. Carlton Spencer, registrar of the University, Karl Onthank, secre tary to President Campbell, Dean Walk er, former football captain, and other Eugene residents are 1913 graduates.

Mr. Bailey is a candidate *kis year for the Legislature from Lane county. He is practicing law in Junction City. Hallowe'en Gives Senior Bench Verdant '26; Frosh Reek Gas Hallowe ’enl “Hallow” is derived from the Anglo Saxon “halig,” or holy, and “een” in the same tongue from the word “aefen,” which, used in the ancient Jewish way of reckoning a new day as starting at sunset instead of midnight, inverts the usual order of things and places the evening of a day before the day itself, comparative to a Chinese meal, where desert comes before soup and fish. So Hallowe’en is the eve of the “holy” hours between sunset, October 31, and sunrise of Holy of All Saints day, November first. Tn the University campus section of Eugene, however, those hours were fill ed with roving, white-gowned, flitting figures, invading fraternity and soror ity houses alike with shrieks and screams, and childish hilarity, while jack-o-lanterns grinned, and winked with glowing eyes at the kindly soul who hastily switched the room to dark ness and joined his house-brothers in begging mercy from the “ghosts.” Other deviltry was afoot. Late pedestrians stumbled surprised ly over barricades placed in the shad ow of the spreading branches drooping low over the walk of a “lonely” street. Street car waiting stations seemed to have the wanderlust and one would find them in many an odd place, lying drun kenly on a street intersection, or com pletely inverted in some front lawn. Even sorority porches were evident ly not “hallowed” spots to mischiev ous spirits. ... Flaunting its message completely across the steps at one, a large barricade sign presented to the stcrtled reader those ltters, “STREET barricaded, euoene sand and GHAVEL COMPAN* ” Another co-ed home was delightfully decorated with the warning blue sign: “CAUTION MEN AT WORK” Scarecrows and dummys were found stationed at campus bulletin boards, and flagrantly contrary to “Daddy” Straub’s assertion that class numerals have sever made their appearance on the different campus landmarks with (Continued ea page four.) NEW HOMECOMING i OFFICE GIVEN TO RICHARDS, SMITH University Graduate to Carry Varsity Banner into North November 11 APPOINTEE NOTED ATHLETE Oregon Man Won Track, Grid Fame While on Campus And at Columbia Richard Shore Smith, a graduate of the University of Oregon in the class of 1901, a five-year Oregon football star, member of the team which licked the famous Bear team 2 to 0, track man competing in the broad jump and weights, and later a post graduate stu dent in Columbia University where he made an enviable record in athletics, will carry the banners of Oregon into Washington territory as the official and accredited ambassador of the University of Oregon to the University of Wash ington, at its Homecoming, November 11. Smith was appointed by Robert Kuykendall, alumni secretary, yester day. While he was at Oregon, Smith was captain of the team for the years 1898, 1899, and during his time at Columbia, he was elected captain of that famous team in his third year and was also chosen by football experts for the my thical all-American eleven. Smith was one of the greatest of Or egon’s sons who brought her glory on the gridiron. He was also a famous track star and his records in the broad jump and hammer stood for some years. While at Columbia he was also a mem ber of the crew. After he left Columbia University and took up the practice of law in Ore gon, he located first at Astoria and later at Klamath Falls. Some years later he removed to Eugene where he now is. He is a member of the firm of Smith and Bryson of this city.

A beginners’ class in basketball will start this afternoon under the direction of Wilma Chattin, for those girls who have no knowledge of the game what soever. This class which will continue for the next two weeks, is in prepara tion for the doughnut games starting this month.

A. C.0 Idaho ._.0 1000 1000 1000 1000 500 000 000 000 Oregon, by virtue of her 3 to 0 win over Idaho, ranks among the leaders of the coast football teams at present with a 1000 per cent standing, but also has the hardest part of her schedule yet to play. Washington at present rates higher than any of the others with three wins, from three hard teams, and no defeats. Washington still has the hardest part of her schedule ahead of her though, as she plays both Stanford and California in California on two successive week ends. Although Washington is leading the conference, none of her victories have been impressive, as she only took the Idaho team into camp by virtue of a safety, and won from W. S. C. last, Saturday 16 to 13 in a game featured by the forward passing of the Washing ton backs. Basketball Coach George Bohler, who saw the game at Pullman, states that Oregon’s hardest game will be the Homecoming fracas with W. S. C., al though Washington walloped the Cou gars. California Is Strong Most of the coast teams have only played one or two conference games so far, and their strength cannot really be determined yet, but California with her wealth of material seems to be the strongest aggregation again this year, even though Coach Andy Smith has been wailing all year about his weak line. The Bruin backtield is composed of veterans, and seems easily to be the hardest hitting and best scoring aggre gation on the coast. The University of Southern Califor nia under the tutelage of “Gloomy Gus” Henderson evidently has the real thing in football this year, too, as they step ped out and gave the Blue and Gold California team a real scare last Sat urday when they held them down to a 12 point score. Oregon Has Husky Line Oregon undoubtedly has one of the strongest, if not the strongest line, of any of the teams; but her scoring ma chinery so far has failed to function, due mainjy to injuries to the first string backs at critical times. The Washington State game will be |the lirst time this season that Oregon has had anything near her real strength in the lineup, and according to the lat jest from trainer Bill Hayward it is still [rather doubtful whether Hunk Latham will get into that game or not. I lie Varsity this year would no doubt have walked away with all their earlier games if the scoring power had kept paoe with their defensive work, but the list of injuries to backtield men started with the first game, and knocked off two or three men at a clip in every con test after that, with the exception of the Idaho mix, in which the sole in jury was when Ward Johnson had an ankle sprained. Oregon is without a doubt one of the strongest elevens this year, and her real strength will come to light when she hits Washington State here during Homecoming. WILLAMETTE GETS $16,000 i Two Hundred Students Pledge Toward Campus Endowment Fund Pledges, amounting to $10,000, were made by the students of Willamette University in the campus drive to raise a million and a half endowment fund. Two hundred pledges, averaging $80 per student, were received in less than an hour. The seniors, with an average of $116 a pledge, led the list; the juniors were second with $76; the freshmen were next with $70 and the sophomores last with $61. If the pledges should keep coming in at the same average rate per person by the 300 students who have not yet pledged the total should exceed $35,000 LATE LUNCHEON HAS NO TERROR FAT DOUGHNUTS WILL FORTIFY ASSEMBLY HOUNDS Speakers May Discourse Indefinitely And Announcers Orate, Thanks to Theta Sigma Phi “Late luncheon again!” The usual cry oil Thursday mornings, but today Dr. Smith can hold tha at tention of the students at asscnili' / as long as he cares to, for they'll all be fortified with the delicious sugared doughnuts hot from the Friendly hall kitchen. These are the special variety that Theta Sigma Phi, national journalism fraternity for women, introduces to the campus once each year, and the mem bers of the organization guarantee that these will be no substitutes for the orig iuals, but that each will be a genuine hunger satisfying article of food. A small matter ot no breakfast today need not enuse alarm. In fact, it is ad vised that the early morning meal be dispensed with entirely. There is noth ing like a change in diet for improving one’s disposition. Theta Sigma Phis Will tell you. Two tables—cue in front of the li brary and the other down at the Com merce building- will be fairly loa n d with these cake life-savers, as will be large baskets to be found in all the un expected corners of the campus. You can’t avoid them. But they cost only one cent less than carfare, so why tryf The money raised in this way will be used to help pay the expense of send ing a delegate to the national conven tion to he held at a middle western university in November. STUDENT SOLICITORS BARRED FROM EUGENE Emerald, Oregana, Punch and Old Oregon Official 0 X o more solicitors for miscellaneous publications will work among the mer chants of Eugene in the name of the University, according to the decision of the executive council at its regular meet ing last night. Tn view of past ex perience in blotters and programs the body decided that only the four regular University publications, The Emerald, Oregana, Old Oregon, and Bemon Punch be sanctioned and that a letter be sent to the merchants ’ association describing the action. Representatives of the mer chants will be invited to meet with the council at the next meeting to discuss the situation in regard to advertising. Offi cial cards countersigned by the presi dent of the associated students will be issued to all solicitors for Univorslty publications. Bernice Altstock was authorized to represent the University Woman’s League at the Western convention to be held in Salt Lake City this month.. All larger colleges on the coast are to bo represented. Last year Ella Rawlings represented the University at the conference, which was held at Berkeley. The council approved the appointment of Fre 1 Lorenz as mnnager of the con cert series caused by the resignation of Art Rudd. HALLOWE’EN PARTY FRIDAY The true spirit of Halowe’en will characterize the party next Friday giv en by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. at the Y. M. hut This party is the first of a series of regular parties which will be held every month. The plans for the affair are not quite completed yet but the Hut will be decorated with Hallow e’ou witches and all the customary de tails. Plenty of entertainment will be furnished through games and stunts. There will also be a fortune-teiler there to predict the future. FRESHMEN Gill ONE HOLM TO CONSTBOCT PYRE Faculty in Session Provide That Time Limit and Size Be Fixed WORK STARTS THURSDAY 9 Members of Class of ’26 Must Work on Bonfire for Brief Time This Year Tlie proposed limitations for the building of the Homecoming bonfire, were approved by the faculty at a meet ing yesterday afternoon, with a modi fication added that the cost shall not exceed $150. A motion was passed re garding the granting of degrees to those who have not fulfilled entrance require ments. The names of 25 students who have completed graduation requirements since June, 1922, were recommended to the board of regents to receive degrees. In presenting the limitations of the freshman bonfire the committee, com posed of five upperclassmen and five faculty members, said, “It is the aim to take care of the bonfire question for the present and for future Homecomings, and to make the timo limit and proced ure a tradition of the University. In order to keep alive class spirit in the matter, it is felt that no size limit should be placed upon it, other than that suggested by the city fire mar shal.” Organization Is Defined The plans for the limitations follow: 1. Proper Organization of the frosh man class. This is to be accomplished by having a committee of upperclass men appointed by the president of the associated students, which shall meet with the freshman president, aid him in selecting a committee of 25 repre sentative freshmen men, see that this committee is called together and prop erly advised concerning the work of put ting up the bonfire, and then turn the matter over to the freshmen. 2. This committee of 25 mon may have the privilege of scouting material from the time of its selection until work starts on the bonfire. They may not however, collect any material on the grounds where the fire is to be built or at any other place. They may have the poles and cables, used in building the fire, placed ready for use, and make any other necessary preparatory ar rangements, such as hiring trucks. Work Begins Thursday 3. No uctual work of building the firo or of collecting material for the same shall be dono by any freshman un til the Thursday noon before Home coming. From that time on, all men of the first-year class, as soon as their classes are out for the day, shall work on the fire, or, if they have no classes that afternoon, they shall start immed iately after lunch. This work shall con tinue during that afternoon, Thursday night, and Friday, up until the time of the rally Friday night. Mon physically unfit, or men who are working for self support, may be excused by application to the freshman class advisor. 4. Freshmen to bo given a holiday Friday. The feeling is that it is bot ; ter to let the first year class men have one day without classes than to have i them go through a week of class work with unprepared lessons. The motion proposed by the commit tee on admissions and advanced stand (Continued on page four.) D. G. Greets Groomed Grownups at Seniors Sirupy Sider Show “Ye seniors! Slip into your slick, sliiny school suits and slide sublimely over to the Sider Hliuv!” So bid the seniors of Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma, who ure entertaining the members of the senior class this after noon from three to six at the D. G. house. The affair will be in the nature of a superb strangle, shove, struggle, or anything else you want to call it, they say, just as long as you don’t forget the Sider. Next in importance to the fact that Terpsichore is to be lured forth from her hiding place, the evidence of much, in fact, the abundance of soothing Sir upy Sider will be a great attraction. A feature, “surprisingly different” is promised. “SeniorsI” say the D. G’s and Pi Phis. Spill this news to your roommate. Spread this propaganda among your friends. Sneak over to the Pi Phi-D. O. Shuv this afternoon and sample the sider.” Tonight, senior women are again to be left to their own devices in the way of entertainment. Weinie roast in Hen dricks had been planned by the com mittee, but evidently Jupiter Pluviul planned otherwise. However, rumor has it that many surprises are in store for the senior man who has a Leap Week date for the evening. Yesterday afternoon, the Kappa house entertained the seniors at the annual Kappa Koffee, where ham sandwiches, coffee, all day suckers, and Paul Jonses reigned as the most popular forms of amusement. Don Zimmerman poured, and Harry Ellis answered the door bell and received calling cards, which were [ very much in evidence in many sizes ' and shapes. Entrance to the house was made via I a step-ladder over the porch railing, since the steps were blocked by a “8treet Closed'’ sign. Signs such as “We Ain’t Got Much Hut You’re Welcome to What | We’ve Got, ’ ’ “ God Helps Those Who Help Themselves,’’ Dance on Your Own Feet,” “Make Yourselves Right at Home,’’ Hands Off Silverware,” and j others contributed to the merriment.
