Community Singing of Oregon Songs Will Be Feature Edward Bailey, graduate of ’13 and for three years right tackle on the Ore gon football team, will be at the first meeting of the A. 8. O. TJ., Thursday morning, to tell University students the meaning of Oregon spirit and to im press upon them the opportunities of living up to the Oregon traditions in the future. Bailey was also a track star while on the campus, and for three years was on the all-star northwest eleven, and during his senior year served as president of his class.

Shy Huntington is going to give a few words on football; Bill Hayward will tell all he can about track for this year; and Virgil Earl will make a talk on his new footbal school. “One of the biggest features of the student assemblies for this year, we hope, will be the musical part of the meetings,” said Claude Robinson, president of the A. 8. O. U. “We want to make the assemblies as interesting as possible, so for his coming Thurs day we are undertaking the first de velopment of our plan and will have some time given over to community singing, under the direction of John Stark Evans,” he said.

The first report on Homecoming will also be given at the assembly; by Had den Rockhey, chairman of the Home coming committee.
