Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 NUMBER 11 REGISTRATION MAY BE 2200 FOR TERM Officials Predict Final Figures Will Greatly Exceed Those of Previous Years’ Records ALL FEES ARE DUE MONDAY Class Charges Remain at One Dollar; Non-resident Taxes Higher for New Students Total enrollment in the. University for the fall term is expected to reach 2200 within a few days, according to Carlton Spencer, registrar, who an nounced last night that 2195 study cards had been filed at his office by closing time. Yesterday was the last day allowed for the filing of graduate cards and undergraduates have been paying a late filing fee since Monday, when their cards were due. Cards Received Daily A comparison of last year’s regis tration figures with those for this term shows there are five more students reg istered to date than were enrolled all during the corresponding term a year ago, and this indicates that the total figure for the year will exceed that of last year considerably, as cards are being received daily at the office from students who have arrived late on the campus. Fees are all payable on Monday, and from then until October ' 22, in clusive. Late registration fees are be ing collected now and the amount due for filing a card today is $4.00. Grad uates are also requested to pay a fee of a dollar for delay in filing and are subject to a cumulative fee of twenty five cents per day thereafter. Class dues remain at a dollar. The regular registration fee of $11.25 and all laboratory charges and non-resident taxes will be collected at the same time. The non-resident tax amounts to $50 a term for students entering this year, and $35 a term for those who entered last year under the old regulation. Non-Resident Fee $50 Both the registrar and E. P. Lyon, University cashier, expect that the final enrollment will greatly exceed that of any other year in the history of the University, since additional cards are being filed every day in spite of the fine3 imposed. DELTA OMEGA LEADS W. A. A. MEMBERSHIP Alpha Chi Omega Banks Second; Returns Are Expected to be Complete Today Delta Omega reported 100 per cent subscription to W. A. A. membership at the end of the campaign last night. So far this was the only organization reaching 100 per cent, although all re ports had not been turned in. Alpha Chi Omega, with 22 subscrip tions, came second, in proportion to members. All other organizations are turning out well, according to Mary Hathaway, who is in charge of the drive. The first meeting of the term will be held next Tuesday, October 16. At this meeting nominations will be made for the heads of swimming and canoe ing, positions made vacant by the fail ure of Elizabeth Garrett and Helen Cantine to return to the University. The heads of the various sports will also give reports on their activities. Today Last Chance to Check Address for New Directory Today’s your last chance to make corrections of your name, address, or phone number for the new stu dent directory. “Change it now or forever hold your peace,” says Jack Benefiel, graduate manager who has charge of putting out the directory. In othKr words, don’t cry afterwards if you’re catalogued as Mary, instead of Mary Jane, or if they’ve got you down as coming from Portland in stead of Skilamook, ^our home town. It’s your own fault this time if errors still remain. The new student directory will appear about next Saturday and all signs point to its being a good one. It is to contain all the nec essary information; the phone num ber of the administration offices, standing committees and officers of the A. S. U. O., faculty, living organizations, and students will be listed, as well as each person’s name, home and University ad dress, phone, class, and major sub ject. In fact, the directory will be quite complete as to information J about people connected with the University, and also convenient in form. There will be one column to a page and the telephone num bers may be listed first, though this has not yet been decided. FOR TONIGHT Invitations Issued to Faculty and Eugene People The annual formal reception given by President and Mrs. P. L. /Campbell to the faculty of the University will be | an event of this evening in the alumni hall of the Woman’s building. The affair will be in honor of Mrs. Murray Warner of Eugene, Mrs. Virginia? Judy Esterly, dean of women and Miss Florence McGowan, Y. W. C. A. secretary. All members of the faculty and their wives are invited to meet these honor guests and a number of out of town guests are expected. About 450 invitations have been issued to faculty members and friends of the University throughout the state. Mrs. F. G. Young and Mrs. W. G. Hale will pour and Mesdames H. D. i Sheldon, Colin Dyment, E. C. Bobbins and J. F. Bovard will act as assistant hstesses with Mrs. Campbell. Among those who will be in the receiving line in addition to the honor guests are President and Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, regent of the University. Mrs. Warner has recently returned to Eugene after a summer spent in travel during which she has collected a number of additions for the Murray Warner Art Museum which will be reopened early in November. Mrs. Eaterly comes to the University from Berkeley, California and is al ready a familiar figure to the student body although many facutly members will meet her for the first time this evening. Miss McGowan is the new Y. W. C. A. secretary. AMERICAN LITERATURE CLASS HAS LARGER ENROLLMENT The largest American literature class that has ever been enrolled in the Uni versity, now numbers about 200 stu dents. The class, which is ordinarily taught by Miss Burgess, is being given by Miss Ruth Benson, a senior in the English department pending Miss Bur gess’ return from Europe. Miss Bur gess is expected to return home ia time to teach her class Monday. Journalism Gang to Convene at Grand Jamboree Tonight Tonight the Knights and Ladies of the right royal order Hunt and Peck will grease their galoshes and gambol gleefully over the maple skidway in Hayward hall. A great gob of journal istic talent is expected to convene around the cider tank, and gurgle over a few glasses and masticate a dozen sinkers. This is the night that) the news hounds forsake their chosen profession and indulge in enough revelry to last1 them for the entire year. Editing, law of the press, and all the rest of the journalistic curriculum is going to be forgotten in the mad rush to the tune j of the heathenish saxaphone, the vil lainous violin, the beating tom-toms and all the rest of the equipment used , in enticing dips, pivots, catchsteps and glides out of a pair of pedals. Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi, ancient Greek orders of news gleaners, will officiate at the ankle ambling and the ruffians of the latter order will receive the guests at the door, and separate them from a thin dime (good coin of the realm). This monetary donation will go toward pay ing the feed bill of the conclave. A special feature of the type hounds’ tramping will be the edition’ground out bv the young Greeks taken in by Sigma Delta Chi. The youngsters will issue bulletins explaining all the happenings to the mob, because the mob has left its ears for news at h6me in anticipation of the stepping stampede. The clothes worn for the occasion will depend on the temperament of the wearer. If he be a harsh egg, he will wear a red shirt, stagged^ trousers, and boots. If he be other wise he may cavort in knickers and if he be real tough he may come as (Continued on page four.) OREGON KNIGHTS ELECT THIRTEEN One Man Selected From Each Campus Organization; Two Picked From Friendly Hall SIX CHAPTERS IN NATIONAL Freshmen Student Offenders Punished by Organization Thursdays on Library Steps Oregon Knight’s chapter of Intercol legiate Knights, yesterday elected to membership the following: Tom Mahon ey, Harry Hemings, „ Fred Lockwood, Walter Brown, Sam Herrick, Alan Woolly, Stuart Boswell, Milton Rice, Clifford Powers, Alan Button, Peter Ermler, Morton Coke and Bob Coffee. The Intercollegiate Knights was ori ginally a local organizatien, establish ed at the University of Washington for the purpose of handling crowds at col lege functions and guarding campus traditions. The idea soon spread to other colleges and the chapter was made the first in national organiza tion. Oregon chapter, established as a local in 1921, became a part of^he national in 1922. Other colleges hav ing a chapter are Washington State, University of California, Idaho and University of Iowa. Election Rules Changed Each year, in the past, the Oregon chapter has selected two representa tive men from each house on the cam pus but this year the rules were changed in order to make the work depend on fewer men. One representa tive is now chosen from each house and two from Friendly hall. A man who is not prominent in athletics is usually picked in order that he may devote most of his time to his duties in the society. The men are selected by the presidents of their respective houses and by the alumni members of the organization. The green sweater with the lemon yellow helmet, so prominently dis played at campus activities, is the chief mark of distinction of the order, their pin being a small gold shield with a red stripe diagonally across it, a silver helmet in the center and the letters I and K, meaning '“Intercolleigate Knights” imprinted on the surface, knights Guard Traditions Since the Oregon Knights have been established it has tfeen their custom to carefully watch for any breaking of campus traditions. These are promptly reported to the Stunt Duke who arranges for severe punishment, usually meted out on the library steps Thursday mornings before assembly. The chief offenses are the cutting of frosh caps, or eliminating them al together, walking on the Oregon Seal, failing to say “Hello, or breaking of other campus customs. Initiation for the new pledges will be held sometime after Christmas. Officers of the organization include Ed Tapfer, Stunt Duke; Franz Drink er, Royal Scribe and Charles Norton, chancellor of the exchequer.

DEAN STRAUB BETTER ADVISES MRS. CAMPBELL Dean John Straub is slightly bet ter according to advices received from Mrs. P. L. Campbell, who returned from Portland last even ing. Mrs. Campbell accompanied Dean and Mrs. Straub to Portland when it was found necessary to remove the Dean to that city.

Sophomores and Frosh Vie Today on Kincaid in Annual Underclass Mix •> The annual underclass mix, this year in charge of the juniors, and, as usual attended by the senior cops in full regalia, will start promtly at ten o’clock this morning on Kincaid field.

As there is much good material in both classes, competition this year will be unusually keen, according to those who have charge of events. The push ball contest, a brand new feature of the mix, promises to be the main event. For this contest an excellent push ball has been sent from Multnomah' club in Portland. Points are to be given for attendance | in each class, and the yell contest will | be given its usual number of points. Jack High will bo assisted in managing, events and listing points, by Jack Day, Lee Hoskins, Henry Sheldon, Del Fin negan, Doc Cook, Chuck Jost, Dick Carruthers, Russ Burton, and Bill Peek.

The “fracas,” as the annual under-, class mix is termed by those in chargo, | is promised to be tho largest and roughest one yet. “There will be time out between events for grave-digging and burials”, said the chairman. FIVE NEW MEMBERS Two Campus Instructors Are Among Those Elected Five new members have been added to the alumni council of the University, Grace Edgington, alumni secretary, announced yesterday. The new mem bers are Kasper K. Kubli, ’93, of Portland, James H. Gilbert, ’03, Eu gene, Mary Elizabeth Watson-Barnes, ’09, Eugene, James S.

The next meeting of the association will be held during Homecoming week-end, Novem ber 24. Mr. Kubli, familiarly known as “Cap”, was born in Jacksonville, Ore gon. He attended Harvard, after hav ing completed his course at Oregon. He has been a member of the legisla ture since 1917. James H. Gilbert, head of the Uni versity economics department, received a two year scholarship at Columbia university after leaving the University of Oregon. When the two years were completed, Mr. Gilbert received the Garth fellowship, which enabled him to complete the third year. It was at Columbia that he received his Ph. D. in 1907.

There were but 11 men at the last practice and tf necessity, the work was con fined to the learning of the funda mentals. In spite of thd small squad, however, Coach Fahl expressed his ap proval of the progress made by his men. In other years, soccer has been nearly on a par with tennis and wrestling as far as student interest was concerned and a good]) crowd used to watch the Oregon-O. A. C. soccer contest. Of late however, interest in the sport seems tc have died down. SNAPPY SLOGAN WANTED FOR HOMECOMING WEEK Five Dollar Prize is Offered for Best Contribution All students and faculty members with a knack at putting words to- i getlier in an expressive way, are urged to sit down at a typewriter, or grasp | a pencil, and send in as many con tributions as possible for the annual Homecoming slogan. A snappy slogan is one of the prime essentials of a successful Homecoming week-end, declares Haddon Rockliey, general chairman for the annual event. Into a few words it is hoped that the famed Oregon fight, spirit, and wel come to all Homecoming graduates and former students will be crammed. In addition to the honor that will accrue to the slogan maker who sub mits the most acceptable wording, two grandstand seats will be awarded. Should the winner be a student, he may exchange his prize for five real dollars, announces Rockhey. The slogan should be as short as j is consistent with what it is to ex press, and should be easy to say and remember. It will be put on all Home-1 coming letters sent out, and will be broadcasted over the state wherever j word of the great annual event is sent. Students and faculty members are' allowed to submit as many slogans as they desire. Contestants should write their expressions plainly on a piece of paper, and take or mail them to the j office of Grace Edgington, alumni sec: retary. The judges for the contest will be Mary Watson Barnes, Karl Onthank, Grace Edgington, and Paul ( Patterson. Contributions will be received until November 1, says Rockhey, and the prize winner will be announced as soon as the judging can be completed. OREGON CLUB OFFERS NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES - I Organization Has Oood Material For Do-nut Sports; Social Affairs Planned for Year All men not in living organizations, and who are interested in do-nut sports, may have an opportunity to participate in their favorite sport, by becoming members of the Oregon club. A meet ing was held yesterday at four o ’clock in the Y hut, to conduct try-outs for the do-nut basketball team. According to L. H. Carlson, president of the club, some good material is al ready out, but more men are needed, i The Oregon club will enter all the do- j ! nut sports, including wrestling, track,: and cross-country, this year, so every j man will have a chance to choose the j sport he wishes. Social affairs are already being I planned by the club. Beside the usual ! smoker, the Oregon club will give a formal club dance and a picnic in the ; spring, as well as several informal af : fairs during the year. STUDENTS WILL BE ADMITTED TO CONTEST WITHOUT TICKETS Students peed have no fear about losing their tickets for the football game this afternoon for, as the old saying goes, their faces are | their tickets. This announcement was made last night by the powers that be. Due to the fact that the registration fees have not yet been paid for the term, the student body tickets which admit the students to collegiate contests and enter tainments on the campufc have not been iszued. SHY’S MEN READY FOR PACIFIC TILT Coaches Announce Lineups But Say Little About Result of This Afternoon’s Battle BADGERS HAVE FAST TEAM « Oregon Mentor is Using Strong Combination for First Fray of Year on Home Gridiron JSy Ken Cooper Oregon's football machine is in fine shape to make its initial appearance of the 1923 season on the home grid, which will take place this afternoon at 2:30 on Hayward field. The Pacific team arrived last night under the pro tecting arm of Coach Leo Frank and registered at the Osburn hotel. Shy tapered off the Lemon-Yellow gang with a light signal practice to keep the boys limbered up. Badgers Have Good Record For the benefit of those people around the campus who think that the Pacific game is nothing more than a set up, let us quote a few facts that are well known to tho old tuners around the campus: Fact No. 1—Oregon beat Pa cific two years ago (Coach Frank’s first year at Pacific) by the small score of 21 to 7. No. 2—Last year, the red shirted Badgers hold tho heavier Lemon Yellow squad scoreless during tho entire first half of the game. No. 3—This season Pacific held tho Oregon Aggies to a 12 to .0 scoro and later hold the highly touted W. S. C. outfit to 20 points. Consider these facts from the standpoint of the size of the Pacific student body, which is less tlian 200 and tho inevitable conclusion hits you broadside that Coach Frank has instilled a wonderful amount of speed and fight into his proteges. Locals In Good Shape With the exception of a small car bunkle on Hunk’s left knee, the Oregon squad is in good condition and, as sport writers have said for ages, “every man is primed for the fray.” Coach Frank is not as lucky with his team as two of his mainstays are on the sick list as a result of their game with Washington State. Blackman, ono of his stellar wing men, is out of the game with a broken nose which necessitated an operation. Devilin, at guard, was the other Badger who came home from Pullman to the tnue of “Tape and Liniment.” That Shy is not taking the game light ly is shown by the fact that he is Bbov ing one of his strongest combinations in this afternoon’s battle. Shy was silent as to the possible outcome of today ’s game, but the followers of the grid sport give Oregon a slight edge over the Badgers due to the difference in weight. Frank expressed the view that although his men were against heavy odds they would give Shy’s men every thing they had and the performance of Pacific against Oregon teams of other years seems to bear out his statement. Lineup Announced The tentative lineups as announced by the coaches last night are as follows: Pacific— —Oregon Garrigus .c. Wilson I. Rannow .lgr. Bailey E. Rannow.rgl. Mills Schneider (Capt.) .ltr.... Yonder Abe Wolf .rtl. Reed Balcom .:ler. Risley McCoy ....Tel. Williamson Jessee ......q. Chapman Adams or Emerson .lhr. Sax Pintella .rhl. Terjeaen Tucker .f. Latham “Y” EMPLOYMENT OFFICE HAS MANY VACANCIES Few°r Men Reporting for Odd Jobs This Tear Than Formerly; Many Desire Steady Work Whether duo to working overtime during the summer months, to a present inclination to physical lassitude, or an unusual willingness on the part of dad to open his purse strings—in other words, whatever the cause—men stu dents are not reporting at the employ ment desk at the Hut for odd jobs as they did last year. Ever sinco the opening of the-fall term small indoor and outdoor .jobs have been coming in faster than men seeking that kind of employment have reported for work. There are plenty of men students who desire steady jobs, according to “Mother” Donnelly in charge of the employment desk, but there seems to be an unusual scarcity of men who call for odd jobs. Mirs. Donnelly desires that those who would like to do part time work would “drop around” the Hut for a. job whenever they can and thus help her 1 smooth out the present congestion.
