Japanese Alumnus
Will Help Rebuild
Devastated Areas
“If my services are required I shall
be glad to aid my country,” said Jo
Tominaga, Japanese citizen and former
Oregon student who stopped here Fri
day on his way back to Japan. Mr.
Tominaga graduated with the class of
1916, after making a brilliant record
in architecture.
Since his graduation he has been in
France in the army, and in New York
City, connected with the architectural
firms of McKim, Meade and White,
and Helmle and Corbett. Now he is
going back to aid his stricken country
men in rebuilding the devastated
areas. He- will visit a sister in Osaka,
and is anxious to hear word of his
sister and brother-in-law in Tokio. He
does not know whether they escaped
the earthquake or not.
He is also planing to visit the graves
of his parents. The trip to Japan had
been planned earlier, by way of Eu
rope. Since the disaster, however, he
is going direct, sailing from Seattle on
the 8. S. Shizuoka Maru.
He could not resist stopping over in
Eugene to see Miss Camilla Leach and
others of the architecture department
who were “my friends on the campus,”
he said.
Mr. Tominaga is especially interested
in city-planning, having worked on
the construction of the Bush house in
London, and devised a new system of
traffic regulation for New York City
that is being seriously discussed in
architectural circles in the East.
PHI BELT AND SIGMA CHI
WIN TWO DO-NUT GAMES
Friendly Hall and Kappa Sigma
Lose First Contests
The do-nut basketball season snapped
to a start yesterday afternoon when the
Phi Delta bowled the Friendly hall boyB
for a 15 to 10 victory and the Sigma
Chi’s walked to a snappy finish of 17
to 13 over the Kappa Sigs.
The first game was rather slow, both
teams showing, by the numerous per
sonal fouls and bad shots, a lack of
practice. Tim Sausser gave Friendly
the edge in the first half of the game
with two baskets, but the Phi DeltB
clouded up in the last half and rained
shots through the basket to & good
finish. The lineups were:
Friendly Hall—Woods, C, Sausser,'
R. F. Benson, L. F., Sayre, R. G-.,
Napier, L. G. Reed substituted for
Napier in last half.
Phi Delts—Tuck, C., Hobson, R F.,
Gerkie, L. F., Watson, F. G., Murphy,]
L. G.
The Sigma Chi and Ka;ppa Sig game
which immediately followed was fast.
except in a spot here and there where j
the Kappa Sigs were prone to have a
little futile passing practice. The first
half was a toss up, the half score be- j
ing 10 to 9 for the Sigma Chis.
The Kappa Sigs lost their thunder
in the second half and the Sgima Chis
walked away with a score of 17 to 13.
Rhinhart and Palmer took the honors.
The lineups were: .1
Sigma Chi—Palmer, C., ""Stoddard,
R. F., Rhinhart, L. F., Burton, R. G.,
Ringle, L. G.
Kappa Sigs—Ocherburg, C., Johnson,
R. F., Fraser, L. F., Pierson, R. G.,
Leak, L. G. Bye^s substituted for
Johnson and Johnson for Pearson.
LESTER TURNBAUGH CHOSEN
TO ASSIST IN ORGANIZING
William Osgood, president of the stu
dent volunteers, has chosen Lester
Turnbaugh to assist him in organizing
the students of this campus. A meet
ing of all student volunteers on the
campus will be called in the near future
to elect officers. Mr. Osgood is from
Linfield college and has charge of the
work throughout the state.
Senior Men Ready for Thrills
and Excitement of Leap Week
Hear ye! All you wearers of the ten
quart hats and the excuse for a labial
adornment. This is the week of weeks,
when the male element of the class of
’24 comes into its own and struts about
in its brightest raiment for the weaker
sex to give the once over and choose ac
cording to its taste.
’Tis leap week, men, and you should
be just as excited as, when a child, you
hung the stockings over the mantle and
waited for Santa to slip you the sur
prise. Now you sit by the phone and
wait for the ring and then you grasp
the listen handle and gurgle, “A senior,
where do we eat, and what dance do we
take int”
Men of '24, prepare for one three-day
course of joyous festivity when the fem
ininity of the clan will spend its
sheckles freely upon its choices from
the ranks of the manly herd. For three
years the women have waited for this
opportunity and now it is here and when
the coin of the realm is considered, they
have set the sky as the limit.
Beginning with the senior open house,
when the fair ones scamper from house
to house and are received by the all
high nobles, there will be no let-up in
the festivities, which include—well, we
don’t know, but they will be good, for
the ladies of ’24 have always been the
best little entertainers.
The dates will soon be burning the
wires and it is rumored that several of
the boys have dates already. Hurry up,
women, and call ’em up, but maybe you
had better wait until open house and
then breeze around and give the eligi
bles the once-over.

campus.
Every woman in the University be
longs to the league and every member
is urged to vote at this election.
The teas given by the league at the
Woman’s building every Tuesday after
noon during the year will begin Tues
day, October 23. These teas are for
the purpose of bringing the women of

very informal nature.
CO-OP MEMBER RESIGNS
Ben Maxwell Says'Lack Of Knowledge
of Managment is Season
Ben Maxwell, associate P. I. N. 8.
editor of the Emerald and University
correspondant, is no longer a member
of the board of the Co-operative store.
The only reason which Maxwell
would give for his action is that he
knows so little about the internal
workings of the Co-op store, that he
could not defend it if it were attacked.
He also authorized the statement that
student misunderstanding concerning
the store had something to do with
his resignation.
!OLD STYLE ROOTER
I CAPS MAINTAINED
Headgear Sold at Co-op is Not
Official One, State Myers,
Robinson and MacGregor
OREGON KNIGHTS MISLED
Oral Agreement With Students
Declared Unauthorized by
A. S. U. 0.; Money Refunded
The official rooters’ caps of the
A. S. U. O. are the old style head
gear with the “O” in. front and
the tassle on top.
(Signed)
JACK MYERS, Yell King.
The above statement by Yell King
flyers was authorized yesterday after
noon by Claude Robinson, student body
president, after considerable complaint
had been received at A. S. U. O. head
quarters because of the appearance of
a bunch of new “gob” rooters’ caps
which were recently put on sale through
the Oregon Knights.
New Hats Sold
Ed Tapfer, president of the Knights,
said that he was given to understand
by the Co-op, which owns the caps, that
they had been passed upon by the stu
dent body. After a number of the
new headpieces had been sold, he was
informed by Claude Robinson, student
body president, that no such authoriza
tion had been made, and the sale was
called off and some money refunded.
John Mac Gregor, er-president, has
denied that any action had been taken
one way or another by last year’s stu
dent council. < ,
Student Approval Verbal .
The misunderstanding is thought to
have arisen over the fact that the new
caps were submitted to a number of
prominent students, who agreed orally
that they “were all right.” The ob
jection registered at A. 8. U. O. head
quarters was that the management of
the Co-operative store overstepped its
rights in calling the caps official ones.
It is thought likely that the new
headpieces will be considered at a lpter
date for adoption and it is not at all
improbable that they may be adopted
according to Myers. It was felt
that for the sake of uniformity
the old style caps had better be main
tained for the rest of this year.
STUDENT BODY PICTURE
MAY NOW BE ORDERED
Prints in Two Sizes Procurable This
Week Only; Campus Panorama
Also Photographed
The first prints of the student body
picture, which was taken after the
first assembly of the year, have been
received on the campus and, in the
opinion -of student body officials, it
is the best group picture that has ever
been taken of Oregon students. There
are about 1800 people in the group and
practically every face is distinct.
The picture was taken by photo
graphers from Los Angeles, and officers
in the gift campaign plan to use it in
their publicity work. The background
with its clear reproductions of the two
women’s residence halls and the Wo
man’s building furnishes an attractive
view of the campus.
Students will be given an oppor
tunity during this week, only to order
the picture. Everett Ogle is in charge
of the sale and has appointed men who
will go to the houses to take orders.
The pictures come in two sizes, one
about four feet long and eight inches
wide which is offered for $1.50 and
the smaller size about half that long
which costs $1.00. During their stay
on the campus the photographers also
took a panoramic picture of the cam
pus which takes in the library, the
Pioneer, Friendly hall, a view up
Thirteenth street with the men’s gym
in the background, the sun dial, and
the Administration building. Orders
will also be taken for this picture.
DEAN ESTEELY TO RECEIVE FOB
WOMEN STUDENTS TOMORROW
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of
women, will be at home to all women
students of the University at her home
on Wednesday afternoon, following the
custom of her office in receiving stu
dents once a week at tea. The hours
will be from four to six o’lock. Mrs.
Esterly adds a most cordial wecome
to the announcement and hopes in this
way to become acquainted with many
of the girls whom_it is impossible for
her to become familiar with during of
fice hours. Due to the fact that the
apartment of the dean of women in
the Woman’s building is at present
being used during the re-establishment
of the Murray Warner collection, Mrs.
Esterly will receive at her own home
at 667 East 12th street.
Architects Will
Have New Style
of “Open House”
Evenings which would seem to
have the flavor of student life in
the Latin quarter in Paris, are
looked forward to by the archi
tects ’ club on seeing a bulletin
posted in the new drafting room.
It states that there will be club
night at the W. R. B. Willcox
house every Wednesday night, open
to any and all members.
“If you have anything to say
come there and say it.” reads the
little notice. Those who wish to
listen are invited to go and hear
what someone else has to say.
Those in an argufying mood
may call and discuss to their
hearts’ content.
“If you have a picturo to show,
a book to read, or a story to tell,
spring them there. Tobacco is not
taboo. Canned music of a sort is
always on tap. There is a kitchen,
dishes, and gas stove. Drop in if
you feel like it and bring along
any non-member friend you have
in tow.”
Frank Dorman, president of the
architects’ club says that the mem
bers are ready to take timid fresr
men of the department under their
wings to join in accepting Prof.
Willcox’s invitation.
LAW FRATERNITY WILL
BE SOLELY HONORARY
New Men’s Local Made Up of
Old House Members
The local chapter of Delta Theta
Phi 'professional law fraternity which
has maintained a living organization
on the University of Oregon campus
for the past three years last night, by
a vote of its chapter members, reverted
to the status of an honorary fraternity..
The reason given for the chahge was
the impracticability of maintaining the
house in view of the small size of the
University law school. The custom of
the national organization of Delta
Theta Phi is to remain a non-living
organization except in universities and
law schools sufficiently large to war
rant the maintenance of a house.
With the withdrawal of the fratern
ity as a living organization, the house
I formerly occupied by Delta Theta Phi
will be taken over by a newly formed
local fraternity. The local has taken
the house name of Psi Kappa and will
petition a ^national social fraternity.
Psi Kappa is composed almost entirely
of members who were living in the
house. The charter members, pledges,
and officers will be announced later.
Delta Theta Phi announce the elec
tion of the following officers for the
present year: Dean. J. Mason Dillard;
Vice Dean, David 8. Husted; Tribune,
I. F. Phipps; Master of Ritual, Bert
Gooding; Clerk of the Exchequer,
Harvey Covalt; Clerk of the Rolls,
Armand Fuchs; Baliff, Robert Chris
man.
The local chapter of Delta Theta
Phi is known as Deady Senate. It was
installed on the campus in 1913 and
beeame a living organization here in
1920. Nationally Delta Theta Phi is
one of the strongest of the legal fra
ternities, having chapter at practically
all of the larger law schools. There
are chapters on the Pacific coast at the
universities of Washington, California,
Stanford and Oregon. In all, there are
fifty-three senates of this law fratern
ity, thirteen of which were installed
within the past year. The national
organization was founded at Cleveland
law school in 1900. Oregon chapter
includes 12 active members.
ATHLETIC PROGRAM FOR YEAR
OUTLINED BY OREGON CLUB
At the Oregon club meeting in the
“Y” hut last night, Louis Carlson, pres
ident, outlined the social and athletic
program for the year* “The club,” he
said, would as usual feature sports,
chief among them being basketball. He
set next Thursday, the day they are
scheduled to meet Delta Theta Phi, as
the time at which the final team would
be chosen from the fifteen competi
tors. “We will put all of our energy
into one team this year,” he said. The
club is to have entrants in the cross
country race, and they will also enter
wrestling contentants.

education, was recently appointed by
Governor Pierce as a member of a
committee, which is to make a study
of welfare problems of the state. Dr.
DeBusk was asked to makie recom
mendations as to the most efficient
methods of handling these problems
with a view of coordinating and stan
dardizing the work of counties in ^hes
interests of efficiency -and economy.
The report was sent to all county jud
ges of the state and all other people

TEAM’S STRENGTH
SHOWN IN BATTLE
Pacific Contest Displays Drive
On Part of Varsity; Shift in
Lineup not Thought Likely
LATHAM READY TO START
Mills and Bailey as Guards
Show Development; Ability
on Defense Not Yet Tested
The winning of tho Pacific game Sat
urday by the substantial margin of 28
points demonstrated the offensive pow
er shown by Oregon in the Willamette
game two weeks ago was not a fluke.
Paeific has met some of the strongest
teams in the conference and, although
defeated by then!, has never before this
year had as great a score piled up against
them.
Although Hunk Latham was not in
his accustomed placo in the backfield,
the smooth working of the combination
which Shy used showed Oregon will not
have to depend on one or two men for
her driving power. Latham was out in
a suit last night and will probably be '
in good shape for the Whitman game
next Friday.
Ho Serious Injuries
There were no serieus injuries in
Friday’s contest and the coaches
let the men off with a light workout
which consisted of running, punting and
signal practice.
In last night’s practice there was no
shake-up in either the line or backfield,
which indicates the coaches are fairly
well satisfied with the work in the game
Saturday of the combination that start
ed. A1 Sinclair, Shields and Fat Wilson
are still debating as to who will pass
the ball as a regular from the center po
sition. All three worked in Saturday’s
game and all three were given additional
tries last night. A dependable and fight
ing center is one of the many men who
must be developed before the coaches
can turn out a champion aggregation.
Mills and Bailey put up Fight
Mills and Bailey came through Satur
day’s trial without injury and put up
their usual fight. More football ex
perience and these men will develop into
guards of the Floyd Shields type. They
are both lighter than the usual guard,
but are fast. Mills’ experience as a
wrestler has developed his physique and
fighting ability so that football seems
natural for him. .Tack Bliss was forced
to miss practice last night, by order of
the doctor, but promises to be out in
a suit again tonight.
“Scrap Iron” Toole is grooming the
fighting third, under tho coaching-'of
Tiny Shields, with new sets of signals,
so that the Varsity can have real
defensive practice. Oregon’s ability at
defense hasn’t been tried out by
teams of the hard-hitting and weight
carrying strength of Whitman. Defen
sive work will be the keynote of the next
workouts and scrimmage is in order for
the few practices left before the men
leave for Pendleton.
FIRST RALLY IS TOMORROW
Bousing Send-Off to bo Given Before
Departure for Pendleton
The first big rally parade of the year
will take place Wednesday afternoon
at 3:15 to see the toam off to Pendle
ton. All classes will be dismissed and
students will congregate in front of
the library, where the line will form.
The band is to be out to lead the
march and all band men will be ex
pected there with their instruments.
The rally ends at the depot where
the team is to be given a rousing send
off with yells and speeches. The train
leaves at 4:12. This game with Whit
man at Pendleton is the first confer
ence game of the year.
Y. W. SEOBBTABY BECEIVES
MANY APPLICANTS POB JOBS
Within the last week many calls have
been received at the Y. W. C. A., ac
cording to Miss Florence Magowan,
secretary, for girls who want to work
for their board or their room and board
in private homes. Because these calls
have come in so recently Bhe has not
been able to fill the places, but any
girl desiring a place may see Miss
Magowan soon in order that arrange
ments may be made.
DEAN HALE GIVES TALK AT
LAW STUDENTS’ MEETING
The first meeting of the Association
of law school students was held yester
day morning in the Oregon .building.
Ivan Phipps was elected president for
the current year. Dean Hale gave a
welcoming address to the students, and
Art Bosebraugh spoke on “The Honor
System as Practiced in the Law
School."
