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.

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

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

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.
