t OUTBURST OF PEP GREETS ALUMNI Student Body Gathered During Forty-Six Years Returns to Alma Mater By Clinton Howard Oregon's Homecoming is over. For a day and a half, from Friday till the last expiring note of dance music sounded in Eugene, Saturday night Oregon spirit reigned over all, and Ore gon 's sous stood tensed, with nerves on edge to rally in the streets, to ser pentine about the bonfire, too “get the Cougar at the game,” and they, the team, grads, “alums” frosh, sophs, juniors, seniors, Oregon’s great stu dent body, 1876-1922, “got that cou gar” 13 to 0! Be it said however that the cougar was a good sport. Watch the sport dopsters say that Oregon has gone over the hump of the football season and is on the way to a show at the Pacific coast champion ship. Oregon did more than that this Homecoming. The University has sur mounted the great hump in her career, and is on her way to be a “mother of men ’ ’ on the Pacific slope. The people * of Oregon and primarily Oregon grad uates have awakened to a new sense of Oregon’s greatness and her poten tial future. Who missed seeing the “grads” at: the Ad building, yesterday morning? Greetings of friendship, unfeigned and heartfelt gladness, old-time reminiscent camaraderie. Dean Straub dropped 30 years and strode about the campus, youthful at the sight of his many! friends and former students. In liis message in Friday’s Emerald, the dean said, “It is good to live and know that you care for me. ’ ’ He knows, now, the affection that Oregon’s great stu dent body, past and present bears him. About the bonfire, circled the crowd, Friday night, and on the ‘ ‘ stage ’ ’ the three blue and white clad yell leaders gesticulated to the crowd. “Prexy” spoke and the crowd yelled for Prexy is a favorite of many years standing. Oregon stands slightly in awe of him, and too, he personifies many Oregon memories, to those who are ‘1 out ’ ’ now, out with the class of ’—. And after Prexy came Bill Hayward, and “Shy” and “Bart,” coaches, and three former yell leaders. They called j for “Tiny” the team captain, but he; was hpme in bed. Then King Dyke man, delivered a greeting from the Uni versity of Washington and the crowd applauded. They applauded anything and everything. Mob frenzy! On with the fight to “get” the “Cougar,” and let no Oregon student be a “ ding-1 buster! ” At the game, a signal from the yell leader to the Army captain in charge, and the great crowd rose, while the j band played “The Star Spangled Ban ner’’ and the national emblem rose slowly to the top of the pole. With the score, Oregon 6; W. S. C. 0, at the end of the first half, the crowd turned its attention when the teams left the field, for the ten min- i utes intermission to the adoption of other alumni by the University, act ing through its “Prexy,’’ and a few words of greeting from Ambassador Dykeman. And in the evening, Oregon went to the dance with the Cougar skin over it’s shoulders, and what was left of the cougar went to dance too, for the cougar is a game bird! Hokumillowapus, the south sea danc er from Tahiti, south sea island setting that changed color with the punch (de pending on the amount you drank), and everybody out for a good time, with the Governor opening the ball. Ore gon celebrated her Homecoming!

SOUTH ATMOSPHERE PERVADES BIG DANCE Homecoming Ball Featured by Art of Hokumllilowapus Under the mellow light of a south ern moon, amid a south sea jungle, palm trees and brilliant plumed par rots, and dancing to the rhythmic mu sic of a south sea island, this was the setting for the annual homecoming dance held in the Woman’s building last night at which hundreds of old grads and upperclassmen renewed ac quaintances and made merry. King Dykman, the University of Washing ton’s ambassador to the Oregon Home coming, was honor guest at the affair. The feature of the evening was the clever dancing of Hokumllilowapus, a member of the Tahitian royalty who recently arrived from the South Sea Isles en route to Chicago where she expects to further pursue the terpsi chorean art. The dance was as un conventional as the usual Tahitian dance, but what could one expect in a setting so reminescent of the king dom she so recently swayed? Tangy pineapple punch was served by Ya Ya girls, and Bob Stewart’s orches tra played in a palm grove, still fur ther carrying out the south sea motif. Those who did not dance were ob served to be talking to the time of the music in the gallery. Washington Club undertook to handle the decorations for the dance this year, however Edgar Bohlman, prominent art student whose creative work has excited much favorable com ment on the campus directed the entire setting and was the feature master who procured Hokumillilowapus ’ ser vices. , •Underclassmen held their dance A the Armory as in former years. The music, punch and floor were good and a large crowd attended. Louise Hat field gave a feature dance during the evening.
