fill™ SOCIIL
SCHEDULE FILLED
One or Two Events Planned for
Every Week End Date; Last
of Quarter Will Be Closed
DATE SET FOR ANNUAL MIX
Petitions for Dances Must be
Handed to Dean One Week
in Advance of Date of Affair
At least one or two events have been
scheduled for every week-end evening
from the following Friday until the end
of the term, when the last two weeks are
closed for affairs, because of examina
tions, according to the social calendar
filed in the office of the dean of wo
men.
This busy schedule does not mean that
more house dances or class parties may
not be arranged for, but that there are
some week-ends which are so filled that
additional dances on those evenings
would seem inadvisable. It is custo
mary that no organization give a dance
on evenings when all-University affairs
are planned.
Petition is Required
If the required petition is filled out
at least one week before the affair is to
be held and contains the necessary list
of patrons or chaperones, the dance is
sanctioned. However, more promptness
in making out the petitions has been
requested so that confusion in the list
ing of events may be avoided.
Evenings open for the arrangement of
formal house dances will be ready early
next week, it was stated, as the free
evenings of the winter term when the
majority of the formals are held are
being listed and divided into certain ev
enings for men's organizations and
other specified evenings for the women’s.
This has been done every year to pro
tect men and women from having con
flicting dates.
Climax is in November
The climax of events is reached on
the week-end of November 2 and 3, with
five dances on the former evening and
six on the latter, scheduled so far.
Tomorrow evening is the night desig
nated as church night, with each church
in Eugene giving receptions and dinners
in honor of University students prefer
ring their respective denominations. Sat
urday evening is being given over to
class parties.
A rally for the Idaho game will pre
cede the annual Y. M.-Y. W. mix, an
affair for all students, which will oc
cur Friday, October 26, and on the fol
lowing evening there will be a student
body dance.
The week-end of November 9 and 10
will be unusually quiet for it is expected
that practically the entire student body
will leave for Portland to attend the
Oregon-Stanford football game. With
Armistice day falling on Sunday this
year, a holiday will be granted on Mon
day, October 12.
The big sophomore informal will be
staged November 17, but the preceding
evening is open for dances. Following
this week-end is Homecoming with the
usual rush of affairs, reaching a climax
in the Homecoming dance on Novem
ber 24.

Campus Thinkers
Given Opportunity
to Earn Sheckels
Well, well! Now is the tim^for
all good men and women of the
University to scratch their think
tanks, grasp their eversharps and
write a f$w reams of slogans for
the Homecoming festivities. In
centive! ' Sure there is one -.
five big, ronnd iron men, good for
purchase propaganda at any hard
ware, drink emporium, or dry goods
store in this humming little metro
polis.
Think of it good people
five large juicy kopecks, and all
for one little spasm of brainstorm.
Just a few scratches with the pen
and the simoleons will be burning
a hole in the money bag. If the
monetary compensation is not de
sired, two pasteboards, good for
seats at the Hayward arena, will
be given the person who turns in
the best chatter for the old grad
reunion.
Think of it. If you take the
pasteboards, you can take the “one
only” and park with the high
brows under the roof. If you take
the coin of the realm, you can
park out in the great open air, let
the rain drizzle down your neck,
and dream about how “you ’n her”
will amble down to the best bean
ery in the village and gurgle over
a few berries worth of shredded
onions and pastry.
A few lines of slogan will do the
work. A line telling the old timers
we’re glad to see ’em on the cam
pus again and something about
the game. There’s the inspiration.
The contest is now on, the com
mittee is waiting for responses.
BLOOD OFFERED DEAN
BY 15 OREGON ALUMNI
Transfusion May be Necessary
in Operation Today
Fifteen ex-Oregon students have vol-;
unteered to submit to blood transfu- j
sions, if needed, for the major opera- i
tion of Dean John Straub, which will
occur this morning at the Portland
Surgical hospital, according to word
received from there yesterday. The
dean is in a better condition for the
operation than had been expected, and
attendants are optimistic that he will
pull through this operation as success
fully as he did the first part of the
operation which occured earlier in the
week. |
Eight of the fifteen Oregon alumni f
which volunteered to undergo the
transfusion of blood, were tested, and
of this number seven were found to
have the kind of blood needed. These
seven Oregon men will be on hand dur
ing the operation to submit to the
tranfusion if such an act is deemed
advisable.
Dr. Coffey, the surgeon in charge,
stated that the operation was a serious
one for a man of Dean Straub’s age,
but he is very hopeful, inasmuch as
the dean has been improving steadily
all week and is in the desired con
dition.
President Campbell left last mgnt
for Portland to be with the dean, and
if the operation is successful, he will
probably go on to the game at Pendle
ton. Dr. Bertha Stuart will also at
tend the operation.
“Tell my freshman class I’ll be on
hand for the big homecoming rally
and bonfire,” the dean was reported to
have said. Throughout his illness Dean
Straub has been normal and cheerful.
He has taken a great interest in the
letters sent by the University students
and faculty, which have helped a
great deal to cheer him, it was stated.
CAMPUS HUMORISTS ELECT
Hammer and Coffin Prepare for First
Issue of Lemon Punch
At the first Hammer and Coffin
meeting of the year, held Tuesday
night, the following officers were
elected; president, Prank Short; treas
urer, Prank Loggan; secretary, Francis
Linklater. Prank Short, familiarly
called “Bunk” was one of the original
founders of the Lemon Punch society
which later petitioned Hammer and
Coffin, national publishing organiza
tion, after the first issue of the maga
zine in 1920.
Members said, when interviewed,
that no definite date for the first issue
of Lemon Punch has been set, as the
magazine has been made a student body
publication and the staff has much
preliminary work to do under the stu
dent body sanction.
Last year the Lemon Punch was pub
lished every month, but this year not
that many numbers will appear, ac
cording to present plans. A great deal
of talent is available, and several mem
bers of Hammer and Coffin now in
school served on the business staff, so
that no trouble will be experienced in
getting out a creditable publication.

SHELDON ID CIVE
ASSEMBLY TALK
Two Noted American Leaders
in Educational Circles to
be Compared in Address j
DEAN IS ABLE LECTURER
Dr. David Starr Jordan and
Dr. G. Stanley Hall Topic
of University Man’s Speech
I
I
In his address on “Two Great Ameri
can Teachers” at the regular University
assembly this morning, Dr. H. D.
Sheldon will speak on two eminent1
educators with whom he i8 personally
acquainted. The address will be in!
the nature of a comparison of two of
the most notable figures in American j
educational circles during the past |
three decades—Dr. G. Stanley Hall of
Clark university and Dr. David Starr
Jordan of Stanford university, both
of whom are presidents emeritus of the
institutions which claim them.
Because of his own acquaintance
with these men during his college
career as an undergraduate $.t Stanford,
from which he took his degree of A. B.
in 1896, and later at Clark where he
received hig Ph. D. in 1900, Dr. Sheldon
is singularly fitted to discuss their in
fluence and compare the results of
their teachings.
Both Men Well Known
Both men are known nationally as
authors as well ns teachers, Dr. Hall
having published a number of books
on psychology which are used as ref
erence in all American colleges and Dr.
Jordan being a prolific writer in the!
field of politics and sociology. Auto
biographies of both men have recently
appeared and are of great interest to
their contemporaries and students. It
is upon these that Dr. Sheldon will base
his address this morning.
Dr. Sheldon is prominent on the
campus as the dean of the school of
education and those who have heard
him know that he is one of the most
able lecturers on the campus. He has
been connected with the University
since 1900 when he came to Oregon as
professor of philosophy and education,
and remained in that capacity until
1911. At that time he was called to
the University of Pittsburgh where he
taught for four years. j
Dean Sheldon is Writer
He returned to Oregon as the dean
of the school of education in 1914 and
is also giving additional courses in
history this year. Dr. Sheldon is a writer
as well as a historian and teacher and
is a frequent contributor to psycholog
ical and pedagogical journals as well
as the author of several well known
books, among them “Student Life and
Customs,” which was published in 1901.
In 1918 he served as president of the
state teachers association and is well
known throughout the state as an edu
cator and speaker of importance.
The assembly will be held in the
Woman’s building this morning at 11
o’clock, and students are asked to take
their seats in the usual order by classes
as quickly as possible.
THREE NEW PIANOS ARRIVE
_ \
Steinway Instruments Made in New
York For Use in Music School
Three new Steinway grand pianos,
one of which is a full-sized concert in
strument, have been received by the
University of Oregon school of music.
The pianos were built in New York ac
cording to specifications, and are par
ticularly adapted to college use. Seven j
thousand dollars was expended for the:
three pianos.
Oregon is one of two music schools |
in the country that provides Steinway ■
grand pianos for instructional as well
as concert use, according to Dean John
J. Landsbury. He says that with the'
addition of the new pianos, the school,
is one of the best equipped institu-;
tions in America.
FROSH ORDERED TO REPORT
ON LIBRARY STEPS TODAY
The following freshmen are ordered
to report on the library steps at 11
o’clock this morning for a conference
with the Order of “O”: Dick Wright,
Lee Wester, Jerry Extra, Grinnell
Sutherland, Ferris Reid, Leland Shaw,
Showalter Lynch, Frank Manning, Van
Hines, Harold Brumfield.
DEAN OF LAW SCHOOL TO
8FEAH AT TOWN LUNCHEON
Dean William G. Hale, of the law
school, will be the principal speaker
at the Eugene chamber of commerce
luncheon today at noon. This is the
first of the weekly luncheons to be held
by the organization this fall. Other
university speakers will probably ap
pear during the winter.
DO-NUT DEBATERS
TOSTARTPRACTICE
Resolved That Oregon Should
Adopt a Severance Tax on
Timber, is Question Chosen
TRIANGULARS ARE PLANNED
Contests With British Columbia
and Idaho to be Revived
After Lapse of Five Years
Do-nut debate work will start Novem
ber 14 and 15, according to a decision
reached at a meeting of representatives
from campus men’s living organizations,
held last evening. The question chosen
is, ‘ ‘ Resolved that Oregon should adopt
a severance tax on timber.” Eleven of
the men’s organizations were represent
ed at last night’s meeting, but forensic
leaders are expecting a larger number
to participate in the campus debates.
The women’s houses are holding a simi
lar meeting at 4:30 tomorrow after
noon in room 103, Villard hall.
All do-nut scries must be over by
Homecoming, as those supervising the
work plan on having the finals run off
before the week-end festivities.
Competition Looked For
Lively competition in the do-nut de
bates is looked for this year, by the
forensic heads, who express their pleas
ure over the great amount of interest and
enthusiasm which University students
are showing over the forensic work of
the year. There is a large amount of
good material on the campus this year,
they say, and with a new shield being
offered in the men’s league, a large
turnout from the men’s organizations is
expected.
Elam Amstutz, forensic manager, has
received a number of communications
this week from outside institutions ask
ing for contests with Oregon.
For the first time, Willamette
women will debate with the University
of Oregon, as a triangular contest has
been scheduled including O. A. C., Ore
gon and Willamette. Debate heads are
unusually pleased with this arrangement,
as Willamette has produced a number of
good debaters. The question for this
contest is the same as for the do-nut
debates. The contest will come either
the latter part of February or the first
of March. The women expect to start
work in about three weeks.
Reed College to Enter
Reed college has definitely decided to
come bock into the men’s s\te triangu
lar debate, and there will be a contest
between that institution and O. A. C.
and Oregon some time later in the year.
The subject and time will be decided
at the Pacific coast public speaking
league, which meets here November 1.
After a lapse of five years, the trian
gular debate between the University of
British Columbia, the University of
Idaho and the University of Oregon will
be revived this year.
The annual contest between Stanford,
the University of Washington and Ore
gon will also be held this year, but the
subjects and dates for both this debate
and the Columbia-Idaho-Oregon one will
also be set at the conference meet.
FOUR DRAWINGS GIVEN
ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL
Harry Van Boren Magonlgle Presents
Priceless Works; Three Have
Donor’s Autograph
A gift of four architectural drawings
presented by Harry Van Buren Magon
igle, three of which bear his auto
graph, are to be hung in the architec
ture building, possibly in the archi
tects’ library. For a reference in per
fection of draftsmanship they are
practically priceless, according to Prof.
W. B. B. Willcox, of the department of
architecture.
Mr. Magonigle is the architect of the
Kansas City peace memorial, a $2,000,
000 project, besides doing many im
portant architectural commissions
throughout the country. One of these
is the Masonie temple in Brooklyn.
The work was sent to the campus
following a letter to him from Prof.
Willeox, who served with him on the
board of directors of the American
Institute of Architects for several
years, and has been his friend and co
worker in both New York and Wash
ington.
One of the drawings is a line draw
ing on an architectural subject by
another man. The three of Mr. Magon
igle ’b include a wash drawing; a
rendered elevation of a state eapitol
for Nebraska, submitted in a competi
tion; and a rendered elevation of a
plan for a memorial park. They will
be used for student reference in relief
of ornament, varying grades of color,
and light and shade.
Intriguing Odors
to Lure Seniors
to Kappa Koffee
When the intriguing aroma of
mocha and java begins to permeate
the atmosphere for a radius of sev
eral blocks around the good old
house of Kappa the cue for each
senior woman possessed of a date
will be to percolate in that general
direction and partake of the de
licious beverage with her man.
Beated at the samovar will be
Bay MeKeown, who will pour.
Careful instructions are being giv
en him at the present time as to
just what he is to pour and just
where he is to pour it. Art Rudd,
whose position will be to cut the
ices, announces that he wilj feed
no primary instructions in the art.
Little Katie Pinneo will assist
the grown-ups by receiving cards
at the door, giving them the once
over and determining the social
standing of the owners.
Further plans have not been di
vulged to any great extent, al
though it has been rumored that
the occasion is to be a very dressy
one and that the senior women
present will present to the eye a
veritable fashion plate series. No
such rumor has as yet been pro
mulgated about the masculine
bipeds, but there is no doubt some
movement on foot to emulate their
escorts.
Certain seniors who have held
that position for years will probab
ly be depended upon to recall the
Kappa Koffee of previous years
and comment upon th'e good old
days.
LITERARY CELEBRITIES
SOUCHT AS LECTURERS
_ i
Edgar Lee Masters and Amy
Lowell May Speak Here
This year, as last, a committee has
been appointed to bring celebrities in
the literary and cultural fields to
speak on the campus. Margaret Skav
lan, Taylor Huston and Reese Winger]}
form this committee. They are cor
responding at present with the possi
bility of 'bringing Amy Lowell and Ed
gar Lee Masters here this year.
Last year Vachel Lindsay and Carl
Sandburg were brought to the campus
by the committee. The idea of having
speakers of this sort on the campus
was originated by Dean Eric W. Allen
of the school of journalism. He
thought that it should be possible for
the University to cultivate a spirit of
culture by other than the “canned”
method. The committee started with
out any backing from the student body,
and the lectures have financed them
selves so successfully that this year
there is a fund of $200 left to start
a new program.
Fred Machelson was the head of
last year’s committee. This year the
work is divided, Margaret Skavlan hav
ing charge of booking the speakers,
Huston managing the publicity and
Wingard the business end. In the
absence of Dean Allen, Prof. Turnbull
is adviser to the committee. Claude
Robinson, president of the student
body, is cooperating.
The results of last year’s program
were promising. Great interest was
shown among the students and the
well-known guests were entertained by
several organizations, among them Pot
and Quill, Ye Tabard Inn and Cross
roads.
Fledging Announced
Phi Kappa Psi announces the pledg
ing of Lawrence Riddle of Portland.
Bachelordon announces the pledging
of Herman Chapman, of Portland.
BIG RALLY CHEERS
DEPARTING TEAM
Students a Thousand Strong
at Station to Give Varsity
Gridsters Rousing Send-off
OSKIES AND YELLS GIVEN
“We’ll do Our Best” Say Boys
Who Leave for Pendleton
to Battle Whitman Friday
“We are taking the team up there
to win, and with backing like this,
we will win,” were the words of Shy
Huntington at yesterday’s rally as he
and his gang of gridsters boarded the
Shasta enroute to show the Whitman
missionaries the most effective way to
play football.
At exactly 3.19 o’clock the Univer
sity band struck up the tune of “Hail,
Hail, the Gang’s All Here,” in front of
tho library. And the gang was all
there, for in half a minute a thousand
more enthusiastic students were march
ing station-wards to give their team a
rousing send-off. The old Oregon fight
spirit dominated everyone, and if Fri
day’s game is a disappointment, it will
not be caused by lack of student back
ing.
Senior Supervise March
The end of the line in marching is
reserved especially for freshmen. Sev
eral youngsters seemed aware of this
fact when the procession started from
the campus, but the ond happened to
be the wrong end. The senior men
immediately saw to it that the of
fenders trailed along in the rear, as
they should do. Shouts of “Grab him,
Frosh,” seemed ineffective when an
innocent wearer of the green would
stroll leisurely in another direction.
Frosh—your duty in such cases is ob
vious. Bemember next time.
At the station the real pep of the
students was shown. Oskies and yells
of other varieties interspersed with a
few songs brought out more enthusiasm.
Players Speak
“We used five plays last week
against the Badgers. I believe we will
need five plays Friday,” was the con
clusion of Shy’s little speech.
“We’ll do our best,” is the way
Vondy feels about it.
“We will go and give them one hun
dred per cent scrap and fight, and
bring home the bacon,” is how Hunk
puts it.
“We’ll go out and do our best,”
says Sax, elaborating on Vondy's state
ment.
Tergie persuaded fifteen freshmen
that he didn’t want to talk, so h»
didn’t.
Bally Is Success
The rally was a success. The stu
dents are interested. The prospects are
bright. So with all this in mind, let’s
think of the team Friday afternoon
while they are fighting for Oregon.
“The yell staff certainly appreciates
such a turnout at the train, and if
such a spirit is kept throughout the
year, we will win every game,” stated
Jack Myers, yell king, at the conclu
sion of the rally.
MAXWELL WILL SUPERVISE
HAYWARD FIELD PRESS BOX
The press box on the roof of the
grandstand at Hayward field will hold
only a small number of people. There
fore Jack Benefiel has appointed Ben
Maxwell to take charge of the place
during all games and to admit only
such correspondents as he sees fit. In
this way there will be no danger of
allowing in the box more people than
it can support.
Building Progress in France
Very Slow, Says Miss Cornier
Miss Germaine Cornier, instructor in
the Romance language department, in
an interview lately, spoke very en
thusiastically of her sojourn in France
this summer.
She spent the greater part of the
time in Paris with her family, where
she studied at the Sorbonne, or Uni
versity of Paris. She also visited the
battlefields of the Loire
The homes in France, she says, are
being built very slowly, and in some
parts it is hard to notice progress in
building of any kind. This is mainly
due to the lack of money and the
high cost of living, she says.
“Everything is tremendously high in
France, and the people have to pay
very high taxes, because the Germans
will not pay their debt to France,” said
Miss Cornier.
Before the Germans left France, she
continued, they had succeeded in ruin
ing nearly all the orchards, and also
j had cut down a large number of shade
trees, which giv9 Northern France a
very devastated appearance.
The summer season is a poor time
to go to Paris, she said, if one really
wants to see “gay Paree,” us so many
people go to the seashore at that time.
There are a number of wonderful plays,
however, she says, that can keep one
delightfully entertained.
A great many people laugh, Miss
Cornier declared, when one speaks of
sunny France because they have visited
there in the wrong season, and have
been greeted by showers every place
their travels take them. But, she says,
she will always call France “sunny
France,” since it rained in Paris only
once during the whole summer.
She spoke Of her trip as “perfectly
wonderful” and expressed regret that
she could not visit her country more
often. A person could stay in Paris
two or three years, she said, without
seeing or doing one-half the things
one would like to.
