Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1923 NUMBER 29 SLOGAN IS CHOSEN FOR HOMECOMING “Unite to Fight, for Oregon” Submitted by Burnett and Sundeleaf, Alumni SUGGESTIONS NUMEROUS Prize Money Is Contributed to Student Loan Fund; Tooze Awarded Second Choice “Unite to Fight for Oregon.” This is the slogan picked last night for the 1923-24 Homecoming. The composers of the successful phrase are Arvin Burnett and Bichard Sundeleaf, both of the class of ’23. The judges worked two and a half hours before coming to a decision. The slogan which received second place was “Bush ’em, crush ’em, Oregon,” suggested by Lamar Tooze. The winners submitted a list of 10 possible slogans. They asked that the prize money be given to the student loan fund if one of their suggestions should be successful. The judges con sider the word “unite” a fortunate choice as it suggests the reunion of all Oregon’s past classes to fight the Aggies. Many Contributions Sent Slogans of every variety, from three lines of verse to a single word were contributed. The winning slogan will be used in all advertising for Home coming, letterheads and posters. It will be on the field for the big O. A. C. game and will be used at the stations to greet the grads as they get off the trains. Half of the submitted slogans were sent in from outside of Eugene. The large number of grads who took part in the contest indicates a great interest in Homecoming this year among the alumni. No slogan was so outstanding that it demanded choice at onee. A long debate over a number of good sug gestions was held by the committee. The judges were Grace Edgington, Mary Watsn Barnes, Karl Onthank, Paul Patterson and Haddon Rockhey. Burnett and Sundeleaf are both mem bers of the Order of the O. Bennett was a basketball plan, and Sundeleaf a three-year track star. They are now working for the Standard Oil in Van couver, Washington. They said that the mere writing of the slogans made them homesick and eager to get back. Many Suggestions Made Of the slogans they wrote, “At first thought these sure started us to Eu gene, but after censoring them in Salem, we stopped and came back home. If any of these is worthy of $5 use it and give the filthy lucre to the stu dent loan fund.“ • Among the slogan suggestions were the following: “Grad come back, help us whack the orange and black,” “Home to bust ’em, that’s our custom” and “Beat it back to beat the Beavers.” One slogan sent in by innumerable persons was “Meet ’em, beat ’em (or defeat ’em.” One grad sent this, which has a note of challenge, “We’re back, now bring on the opposition.” A frosh merits a special prize in the opinion of the committee for this gem: “Home to chatter, A pig-skinned platter, Alma mater.” Law School Houses Strange Freshmen Sans Green Lids Let the sophomore beware of the newest horde of freshmen which has invaded the campus as the latest majors in the school of law. He who has had experience with their race ! knows what an awful kick they have. In violation of all tradition and college custom, this group of lawyers to-be perhaps, has not yet appeared adorned with the emerald-hued lid of humility. In fact, they seem very cocky and sure of themselves, parti cularly in their school. Should it be the library steps for them! This is a question for the sophomores. As yet, no get-acquainted party has been helc for their benefit, but stu dents who would like to meet them may do so by walking up to the home of the school on the side facing the Commerce building and noting under the eaves thereon the residence of an industrial family of hornets. Apparently their abode is con structed of white paper. It seems, however, that Dean Hale’s school is hardly an appropriate place for these majors. Professor A. E. Sweetser’s department would be far more apro pos, but they seem to be content with 1 the elevated position of their home protected by the Oregon building. WORK ON FROSH BONFIRE BEGINS AT NOON NOV. 23 Main Features of the Event to be Kept a Secret Following the precedent established i last year by the freshman class, work on the Homecoming bonfire will not begin | until noon of the Thursday preceding the rally. A full holiday on Friday is assured freshman men in order to com plete the work for that evening. Scout ing will be in order up to Thursday noon, but no materials may be collected on the bonfire site or at any place. These rules were fixed at a meeting of the faculty on November 1, 1922. It was the opinion of that body that a holi day granted to freshmen for concen trated work on the bonfier would lessen the physical strain of many sleepless nights, previously experienced -by fresh men and the loss of studying would not be so keenly felt. At this meeting the expense of the fire was limited to $150. No restriction as to size was placed ex cept that which the city fire marshal might fix. This year, one upperclassman has been placed in charge of the bonfiref in stead of the committee of 25 who pre viously officiated. Jack High, assis tant Homecoming chairman, is acting in this capacity and has his committees now at work. Further plans for the event will be discussed in the early part of the week, but the main feature of the bonfire is to be kept a secret. ! i DISPLAY ROOM BEING BUILT Another Sectoin of Warner Collection to be Put on Exhibit The University repair department, with its force of carpenters, is busily engaged at present in finishing a new room in the Woman’s building, which will house additional exhibits of the Warner collection of Chinese garments and curios. This room, which will give space for the exhibition of parts of the collection which have not been on display before, is being built abc/ve the room which the collection now occupies. Every effort is being made to have the room com pleted and the exhibit properly placed before Homecoming. Student Directories of Great Value to Perplexed Piggers The students ’ directory or handy: compendium of useful knowledge is among us again in all its encyclopedical glory, with everybody in it all classi-| fied and labeled, so simple a child could operate it. After glancing. through its 44 pages, we wonder how we have managed this long without it. It gives us everybody’s 'ihone number, residence, what they ! ong to and a; lot of other useful information if you know the key to the little letters. Hereafter, when we want a new date, we begin with the A’s and find one that belongs to a house we like. Then we read the letters for the inside on the situation, BA for big appetite, NA for no appetite, EC, enjoys canoeing; ED, excellent dancer; J means jaw, and MU, mustn’t. As a pigger’s guide it is indispensable. The Johnson clan leads this year with 21 members, with Jones running! second with 17 and Smith third with 16. We also have with us a full menu— Bacon and Beans, Fish, Bice, Karo, Pickell, Dills and Coffey. If Hunter and Huntress should find Turtledove, Crow, Swan and Griffin, we may add a little game to this menu. This season, there are three Winters and but ene Summer. We find two Hus bands without wives. Here’s a chance for Love, and, if all goes well they might Merry. If either Husband finds it hard to Houser, he might call for Carpenter, Hammer and Wood. Shepherd and Lamb may be expected to be found together, but we wonder what will happen if Stonebreaker meets Stone. A. meeting of Drinker and Pabst would also hold powerful possibilities. Hill and Dell, famous in poetry and song, are also in our midst. Steel has the hardest name on the campus and Cash the most popular. Whatever happens we have one Extra. FROSH-UNFIELfl BUTTLE IS TODAY Several Locals on Semi-Sick List, But Regular Lineup Will Start Off in Fight PETTITS STYLE UNKNOWN Final Count Is Unpredicted as McMinnville’s Tactics Have Given no Clew to Strength The Linfield college squad arrived I last night, and this afternoon at 2:30, the lads from McMinnville will mix it with the Oregon freshmen on the var sity field. Several of the frosh are on the semi-sick list, and, although the regular lineup will start the fracas, it is probable that a good many of the youngsters will get to display their wares in this afternoon’s contest. Very little is known of the strength of the Linfield aggregation but it is | known that its style of play is some thing on the order of Oregon football,! due to the fact that Pettit, the Lin-1 field mentor, is a student of Shy Hunt-! ington football. Football has just been j revived at the McMinnville institution; during the past few years. It wasj abandoned some years ago at Linfield j (then McMinnville College) due to the death of a player while representing his school on the gridiron. Outcome Unpredicted • It is expected that the frosh shall take today ’s game, but, due to the lack of information about the visitors, it is hard to make any prediction about the final count. In the Linfield-Monmouth game, Pettit’s crew did not use any thing but straight line bucks and they gave no indication as to their aerial strength. Billy Beinhart will boss the young sters today since the other two frosh coaches are out of town and it is a! surety that if the freshmen get a good lead that he will shove in his second j string men to give them the practice in actual battle. Bex Adolph, one of the aspirants for the wing positions on the frosh eleven, is back out at the grind after an en forced layoff due to a wrenched knee.

FORMER DEAN TO HAVE DOCTOR OFLAW DEGREE B. H. Thornton Is Honored Quest of University at Luncheon Today in Portland Hotel * Today, before a gathering of the mem bers of the state bench and bar and the alumni of the old law school, the Univer sity of Oregon will eonfer upon Richard H. Thornton, the degree of doctor of laws, in recognition of his service as dean of the school of law from 1884 to 1903. The ceremony will take place at a luncheon given in the Portland hotel in Portland. Among those who will deliver ad dresses are P. L. Campbell, president of the' University, and William G. Hale, dean of the law school. Others who will speak are Judge James W. Hamilton of Roseburg, president of the board of re gents, Judge Robert 8. Bean of the fed eral district court, who was a member of the board of regents when the school of law was founded, and Judge Earl C. Bronaugh, a graduate of the 1890 law class. Judge Lawrence T. Harris of the Supreme court is head of the committee arranging for the luncheon, and Law rence A. MeNary, a practicing attorney of Portland, will preside as toastmaster. Former Dean Thornton, before coming to Oregon was a practicing attorney in Williamsport, Penn., where he was for a number of years. He organized the law school in Portland in 1885 and was con nected with it till 1903, when he retired and traveled in Europe, doing research work in the British mneenm. Travel in Italy Enjoyable Allen Writes from Rome Head of School of Journalism Plans to Sail from Liverpool November 23; Meeting at Chicago to Be Attended In a letter dated Borne October 15, Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, informs faculty members of the school th^t he is expecting to sail for home from Liverpool November 23 on the steamship Montclair, and will arrive in Eugene about December 12' or 13. On the way home ho expects to attend a meeting in Chicago of the schools and departments of journalism of the United States, of which organi zation he is president. Dean Allen’s letter dwells with en thusiasm on the way he and Mrs. Al len have been treated in Italy. He writes, in part: HOME, Oct. 15, 1923.—The last let ter I wrote was from Geneva, the clean est, finest, most up-to-date little city I have ever seen in any country. We then went by lake to Montreux and saw the castle of Chillon, etc., and took the train thropgli the Simplon and past Lake Maggiore for Milan. “Milan is very much like Chicago and we took an early convenient train out, not stopping to see the Last Supper or the inside of the cathe dral. “We had a fine ride across Gallia Cisalpina to Venice, which we enjoyed down to the ground—and that is some way down in Venice. The guide booki are filled with warnings about ' th< discomforts of travel in Italy. I car only say we met with almost none oJ these things. Gondoliers and cabmei have been uniformly courteous, helpfu and very interesting in their descrip tions of the country, so far from being short changed, I have had more than 1 thought was coming pressed upon me several times, the hotels have been wonderful for the price charged, the trains have been about as near on time as we are accustomed to at home, and, while they are uniformly overcrowded, we have almost every time succeeded in getting window seats. “Venico is all anybody ever claimed for it and more. One feels the impact of the Orient there—it is a crossways of the world, not only for Hast and West, but for Antiquity, the Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance civilizations to gether with our own. History takes on a new and more understandable aspect, and art and literature become living realities in a sense in which they scarcely ever do through books alone. And history is going on still, but I do not think it is best to refer to current Italian politics or my impressions of (Continued on page three) JUNIOR SHINE DAY TO BE EVENT OF NOVEMBER 13 Money Raised Will be Used for Poor at Christmas The campus spendthrifts will be in evidence in front of the library on November 13, when the Italian boot blacks, more commonly recognized as the junior classmen, will conduct their annual shine day. • Junior shine day, instituted a year ago, on the Oregon campus, was origi nated at Washington and Stanford. At both these universities, this plan proved successful, but on the Oregon campus, the bootblacks and the bandanas of the co-ed made it famous. Although this causes merriment at the time, it is one of the most chari table of Oregon’s traditions. This year, the money raised will be used to help the poor and needy of Eugene at Christmas time. The day is set for the men of ’25 to wield their rags and daubers, and the women to don their proverbial headgear and round up the customers. The frosh have a special privilege on this day, over their upper classmen. They can have a junior shine their shoes—if they have the cash. There was a hearty co-operation of the faculty and students on the last shine day, and as the spirit of Oregon is just as strong this year, it is expect ed that the junior shine day will be a prosperous one. “Service with a smile,” will be the slogan of the committee, in charge. The committees are: Bussel Burton, organi zation of supplies; Chuck Jost, organi zation of crew; Ed Bolhman, advertis ing. OREGON “O” ON BUTTE IS REPAINTED BY FROSH Unknown Prank*tors Change Color of Oval on Skinner’s Butte; Presi dent of Class Investigates Onee again the Oregon “O” on Skin ner ’s butte lost its bright yellow hue only to regain it as has been the case several times in the past. Yell King Jack Myers was informed yesterday that the “O” had been painted a color for eign to its rightful shade. Lowell Baker, president of the freshman class, was notified and a party to repaint the emblem was planned for this morning. However, a group of eight unknown freshmen, unknown at least to Baker, obtained one of the University trucks at the University depot last evening, pur chased some paint and restored the oval to a bright yellow. Conflicting reports were received at the Emerald office as to the colors used in changing the appearance of the big “O.” One report had it that orange and black paints were used, while the other was that black tar was smeared on the letter. The freshmen who did the repainting could not be located. Baker said late last night that hie had just come from Skinner’s butte and had found that the ”0" had Just been gives a fresh coat of yellow paint LOAN FUND BENEFITS SOUGHT BY STUDENTS Term Borrowers Number 28, Reports Dean Walker Ten women and 18 men have already taken advantage of the Student Loan Fund this term, according to the latest report from Sean Walker, who is In charge of the fund. The 28 people have borrowed an aggregate sum of $2,540, the smallest single loan being $35 and the largest $200. “The purpose of the fund,” said Mr. Walker, “is to help any worthwhile person through college if we can. Of course, there is the fact that the total amount of money is not enough to meet demands so that by necessity we are forced to select those students who need it most. If they have any other source from which they can bor-j row, or if they can work, we are forced, to eliminate them from our list. We take scholarship and character into con-' sideration in addition to need in the selection of the students. ” Those wishing to borrow from the load can do so by applying to Mr. I Walker. A committee will check up on| the student and then a regular note will be taken out. The note must be signed by two property owners. A 6 per cent interest is charged and the time of paying back varies, according to the situation in which the borrow ing student is placed. Last year, 24 women borrowed $2,180, and 73 men, $7,260, making an average' of $90 per woman and $100 per man.j During the year, $4,984 were repaid on loans taken out in previous years. H At present, the total amount of loans to students now outstanding is $12,095.74. The amount available on September 12, 1923, was $1,393.62. In the year 1923, up to the end of the Spring term, three gifts had been made to the general loans: Mrs. B. 8. Bean contributed, January 11, $500 to the' Condon fund; Ben Selling to the Sell-1 ing fund, March 27, $1,000; June 19, the class of 1922 contributed $216.12 to the Class 1922 fund. I HALLS WIN DONUT GAMES Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Phi Lose in Hard Fought Contesti Susan Campbell hall, team two, beat Alpha Chi Omega in a game played yesterday afternoon with a score of 24 to 3. Although the score was one sided, it was an interesting game, for the losers put up a consistent fight. Chris Heckman and Margaret Dobbin, Susan Campbell forwards, starred for their team, while Mary Hathaway of Alpha Chi with good guarding did much to keep the opponents’ score down. i i I Alpha Phi was defeated last night by Hendricks hall, team two, with a score of 28 to 5. Although the score indicates an easy game for the win ners, Hendricks had to work. Mildred Onslow, of Hendricks, was good in her position of forward, and Nellie Best played a good game as guard. For the losers, Irva Dale and Hilda Chase starred. * VARSITY HITS COUGAR BUTTLE Men in the Best Possible Phy sical Condition; Chappie and Hunk Strong Campaigners I SAX HAS RABBIT’S FOOT Wilson and Sinclair Rehearse Plays; Terjeson Worries He Might Oversleep the Game About 500 miles from here, Oregon’s varsity football team is nervously awaiting the starter’s whistle that will begin hostilities with the Cougars on | their home lot before what is expected j to be the largest homecoming crowd in the history of the college. Nervously is the proper word; for with the men in the best possible state of physical condition for the contest, in I the enemy's territory, surrounded by hostile crowds and with the knowledge , that it is for them to uphold the tra ditions of “Oregon Fight” and the j football reputation of the State of Ore i gon, there is little wonder at this ner i vousness. This morning the men probably did not arise very early, by Bill Hayward’s orders, and not through a desire to sleep. Judging by past experiences, the majority of the players played foot ball during their sleep most of last night and, as a result, were not able to face their breakfast (baked apple, two eggs and a slice of ham) with any degree of comfort. After breakfast comes the usual two hours or so of loaf ing, and then a walk before dinner*— then the long wait until time to go to the gym to dress for the game. Eating Serious Business Chappie and Latham are old cam paigners, so they will not notice the tension as will some of the newer men, although Chappie never enjoys, or is able to eat anything before a game. Big Hunk never lets anything inter fere with the really serious business of the hour, eating. Terjesen will prob ably lie down for an hour or so, but will keep asking every five or ten minutes how long it is until they start. He has a habit of worrying for fear they will forget to call him and he won’t be. there on time. Sax and his rabbit’s foot will be busy. Sax will pat everyone else on the back, let them see, and the favored ones reverently touch, the cherished rabbit's foot (Oregon hasn’t lost a game since the appearanc# of this mys tic token) and caution them not to get nervous and to keep cool—and he will lose two pounds doing it; but he goes on the field hopped-up to a degree that makes him the greatest gTound-gainer in the Northwest. Some one said, “It’s no wonder, with Hunk running inter ference, they aren’t able to find little Sax.” Shields Is Like Brother Pat Wilson and A1 Sinclair will prob ably hold a conclave in which they will each mutually assure the other that he (the other) is the better center, and in between time, they will re hearse which back they are to heave the ball to on each play. Gene Shields won’t be bothered much. He is much like his brother, Tiny, who used to take a chew of Cli max and maybe sleep awhile before time to get ready for the struggle. Dick Heed has much the same tempera ment. Bailey and Mills are not overly nervous—it seems a character istic for guards and tackles to be more or less phlegmatic, before the game. Vonder Ahe is the exception; he will worry and be almost as busy as Sax heartening the men. He will also chew violently on a stick of gnm. Mautz and Williamson are about on a par; neither will eat much dinner and both won’t have much to say. What big Jim Kinney will do in the presence of his countrymen, Exendine’s proteges, who, for the past week have been pray ing to “Beat Oregon,” remains to be seen. The boys are at Pullman and they are figuring on a battle; for the Cou gars hope to wipe out last year’s 13 to 0 defeat. May the Ooddess that smiles on the fighting men, and the brave, be with them. UNIVERSITY Y. M. ENTERTAINS TRIANGLE OF GIRLS’ RESERVES The University Y. W. C. A. is direct ing a series of parties for the Eugene division of the Girls’ Reserve Corps this week at the Bungalow. Yesterday the members of one of the triangles at Geary school were entertained and today the junior high school triangle will be guests. Two weeks ago a combination party was given for all four of the triangles in the Eugene division. Lois Easterbrooks, Winifred Andrews and Elizabeth Phelpe are directing the arrangement for the parties this week.
