S. Bryson, clerk of Lane county. There are always a large number, he said, who Ifail to register and come at the last Wnute to vote. Of the 21 precincts in Eugene, Mr. Bryson named several in whieh the students will probably vote.

NED BLYTHE BUYS INTEREST IN VANCOUVER COLUMBIAN E. N. (Ned) Blythe, of the class of 1902, has just purchased an interest in the Vancouver (Wash.) Columbian from Herbert J. Campbell, ’04. Mr. Blythe, who has been engaged in news paper work in Hood River and Portland Ifince his graduation, resigned as head rf the Oregon Journal copy desk to go to his new field. Sponsors Seek for , Sponsees; Tea Is Slated for Today Campus observers need not marvel over the fact that the last few days have seen an increased attendance among the University women at the library. They are looking up names to make dates. And not the usual library dates at that. Today from 4 to 6 o’clock the Women’s league is sponsoring the “Big Sister” tea at the Woman’s building. The affair takes the place of the sponsor-sponsee dance which has been given in previous years. Each upper-class woman has been al loted the name of some freshman woman whom she is to take to the tea. The names of the freshman women and their sponsors have been placed on a list on the bulletin board at the library, and on a list which has been sent to each house. By these lists a double check is kept on the names of the women as the list in the library has the names of the sponsees ar ranged alphabetically and the lists in the houses hjive the names of the sponsors arranged alphabetically. Each sponsor is urged to look up her sponsee immediately. The “Big Sister” teas are to be given once a month throughout the year. Each term the list of names will be changed. RODSING RECEPTION IS PLANNED FOR OLD GRAOS Early Signs Indicate Largest Homecoming Ever “All advance signs and indications point to the greatest Homecoming Oregon has ever had as far as size goes,” says Baddon Rockhey, home coming chairman. Already, three weeks before hand, letters asking for reserva tions are flowing in. Never before has there been such an early demand. The rooms and accomodations commit tee will scour the town within the next two weeks to secure every available room. The Osburn hotel is now entire ly reserved for the entire week-end. The campus luncheon committee is buying food for 1,000 more than last year. Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, reports that the grandstand is almost entirely sold for the game and that tickets are going fast. O. A. C. is planningg to run special trains to Eu gene to bring over the entire student body and its supporters. Although the chief interest of the Portland alumni chapter is the Stan ford-Oregon game on the 10th, a big campaign is on to bring a record crowd of Portland alumni down for Home coming. “If interest, enthusiasm and organi sation can be taken as indication of a good reception for the. old grads, we are certainly due for a great Homecoming this year,” says Rockhey. “Every de tail is being worked out so that the en tire program will run off with smooth ness and precision. Committee chair men have taken hold of their particular responsibilities in a most admirable and enthusiastic manner and are intent on putting their events over in. the very best possible style.” The Homecoming directorate, com posed of the advisors and the heads of the various committees, will meet later in the week. At this time every chair man will make a report on the prog ress of his special branch of work, and will make suggestions, or raise for dis cussion any problem with which he has been confronted. It is hoped by the Homecoming heads that through this method there will be a minimum of wasted effort and that each committee will be work ing in harmony with the other depart ments, and with the Homecoming heads themselves. SIX WOMEN WIN TRIP Girls to Attend Horse Show In Portland as Guests of Instructor One advanced and five beginning members of Mr. Bangs’ riding classes are to be given a trip to Portland to attend the horse show and fair, as guests of Mr. Bangs.

CLASS MAKES SURVEY OF EUGENE DOWNTOWN Statistical Management Students Map Out Location of Business Firms ».wd Estimate Traffic What’s the best location in Eugene if based upon the number of people that pass byt Members of the records, and statistical management class, arm ed with huge sheets of paper, parked themselves at the corners of the busi ness district of Eugene yesterday and kept accurate account of the number of pedestrians who passed. Until 3:30, men outnumbered the women pedestrians by a large majority. Near 4 o’eloek the number of young w .men shoppers increased at a sharp rate. Each student mapped out a half block both ways showing the location of the business houses and the sizes of the front and the kind of business was designated. The name of the firm, the number of floors and the type of build ing were also noted. Last year, Eighth and Willamette was judged the best location, based on the number of pedestrians that passed by. E Representatives at Meetiny Plan Launching of Drive In Women’s Organizations THURSDAY NIGHT IS LIMIT Greater Interest in Work of Group Recommended by Chairman of Committee The annual Y. W. C. A. finance drive starts today for three days of active and concentrated canvassing among the women’s houses, halls and town groups. The estimated budget calls for $1,600. Before a 100 per cent at tendance of committee heads at the luncheon given yesterday, plans were formed and outlined for the launching of the drive today. At the various house meetings in women’s organiza tions last night, announcement of the drive was made, and today noon repre sentatives of the finance committee will go to each house to work up enthu siasm and interest among the women for the drive. Workers Appointed The finance worker appointed in each house will make a report to Luella Hausler and Margaret Seymour, both of whom are in charge of the drive, at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow each day at noon. Hazel Borders is now working on some device by which results of the drive can be posted up each day. The campaign officially closes Thursday evening, and it is expected that that will be sufficient time for all the or ganized groups of women to turn in their subscriptions. However, as there are so many women living out in town, committee heads do not expect to fin ish the entire drive until the last of the week. Greater Interest Promoted “We are trying to promote a greater interest among the University women in the Y. W. C. A. this year,” said Luella Hausler, chairman of the drive, “and we want to have that ideal be fore the women as well as the goal of the finance drive, in order to have a greater unity among the women in working for the final purpose of the Y. W. C. A.” The Y. W. C. A. is the only special place where all the Uni versity women can come as a whole for their gatherings, aside from their vari ous other meetings, and it is a place which gives them a different side of college life, said Miss Hausler. In addition to the $1,600 being raised by the Y. W. C. A. women on the campus, the advisory board of the association will raise $1,500 during the year among the town and faculty women. Y. W.

A. for Homecoming will be taken this week, reports Claudia Broders, head of the committee in charge of the sale of the flowers. The flowers this year will be home grown, and are expected to be of a better grade than those of previous years, which have been im ported from California. Each girl on the committee will take orders from one men’s house and from one women’s house. The flowirs will be delivered at the houses and halls, or they may be called for at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. The chrysanthemums are to be delivered in boxes. They will be divided into three grades, snd any one ordering the better grade will ex pect to get the very best attainable this year, Miss .Broders says. The money obtained from the sale of the flowers will be used in the fund which is used for improvements about the bungalow. newspaper men on tbip STOP TO VISIT CAMPUS Two newspaper men, George W. Greene, graduate of the University of Wisconsin school of journalism, and F. Harlan Bohm, former University of Iowa student, recently visited the campus on a 5,000-mile drive frtom Davenport, Iowa, to Puget Sound by way of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexi co, California and Oregon. The trip will end at Seattle or Vancouver, B. C. Both men expect to undertake news paper work in the north. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Sigma Nu announces the pledging of Ed Taylor, of Eugene. Sculptors Color Oregon Seals for Homecoming Mail “A little more gold for the border—” “Loaji me your brush just a minute!”—such conversations could have been heard in the Sculp ture building for many evenings past. The meaning! Just this, that the members of the Sculpture club have temporarily traded their mallets and chisels for water colors, and are painting Oregon seals to be used on the Homecoming invitations. “The Sculpture club has had the sale in mind since last year,” said Clarence Irwin, president of the or ganization. “The design was per fected by Professor Avard Fairbanks. The. small seals can be used for let ters, and the large ones either for letters or book-plates.” The sale will begin in front of the library at 1:00 p. m. promptly to day, so those who want to induce the old grads to use "mens” to “Agitat molem” and return to the campus, and those who wish to give an Oregon flavor to their love letters or Christmas gifts must be on hand early. The seals are painted in three colors. The proceeds will be used to ward a new case for the Mary Warner collection of Oriental art. Packages of the small ones will sell for a dime, and the large ones for 15 cents. MEN’S GLEE CLUB GIVES SUCCESSFUL CONTESTS Exceptional Talent in Group, Believes Director Singing before lai^e houses at both Whitman college and W. S. C. last week-end, the men’s glee club gave its first concerts of the year. The program, which was worked out in only three weeks, was received enthusiastically by the music lovers who attended and the club responded to an unusually laTge number of encores. A joint concert was given with both men’s and women’s glee clubs at Pull man, the occasion being rally night be fore homecoming. The evening’s pro gram ended with a big yell-fest and bonfire. A hearty and courteous welcome was also given the glee club at Whitman. In a town paper the following apprecia tion was given: “The entire concert was a credit to the University of Ore gon and may be safely called one of the best concerts ever given by a visit ing glee club in this town.” Soloists and specialty men who re ceived heartiest applause at the con certs are Boy Bryson, Bonald Beid, Doc Furry, Lyle Palmer, Si Muller and Dale Cooley. Ted Baker scored a hit by his “ impromptu monologue. “Two hours packed full of good things with lots of snap and a thousand laughs!” promises John Stark Evans, director of glee clubs in regard to the home concert to be given by the men s glee club in December. “As the glee club is going in such a fine shape the concert will be given earlier this year instead of in the spring as has pre viously been tho custom. “This year’s club is the best group J have ever had, both in quality of voices and versatality. There is ex ceptional talent for specialty and comedy work in the club this year. Music will be of a somewhat lighter nature than last year’s program fea tured, although there will be several heavier numbers.” For the first time, the orchestra and both men’s and women’s glee club con certs will be included in the student body ticket, instead of charging extra admission, as has been the custom in previous years. NEW INSTRUCTORS NOW IN CORRESPONDENCE DIVISION There are several new instructors in the correspondence department of the extension division this year. _ Among them are Mrs. Georgia Benjamin, who is in the English department; Miss lone Harkness, history; B. W. Tavener, education, and George Biddle, in the mathematics department. These in structors correct all papers and make suggestions for study as the students require it. This work is supervised by Dr. Clark, who is head of the University correspondence division. KENNETH MOORE, LIB BABY ASSISTANT, HAS OPERATION Kenneth Moore, library assistant, underwent a major operation Saturday at the Eugene hospital. Moore wai operated on for appendicitis six weeks ago. He returned to his work before gaining sufficient strength and suf fered a relapse which necessitated the second operation. It is not expected that he will be able to return to school this term. CRIPPLED VARSITY TO FACE CARDINALS Backfield and Line Both Hit by Sickness and Bruises After Washington State Victory VONDER AHE ILL FROM TRIP Latham and Terjesen Injured; Stanford Looms Strong for a Conference Championship Things don’t look quite so prosperous in. the Oregon football camp. The W. 8. C. barrier proved too much for the varsity hurdlers and they came back to Oregon with a conference defeat and a pretty fair sized list of sick and in jured. The outlook for the coming week-end is not one whit brighter than that of last week, for, according to men who have seen them in action, the Stanford team is a mighty tough proposition, now that it is going right. Lineup Weakened Add onto this, that Shy will have t» present a lineup next Saturday that is partially bunged up and generally the worse for wear. Terjesen’s leg is still bothering him considerably, but Bill will probably have him in pretty good running shape by Saturday. Karl Vonder Ahe is confined to his bed with a light attack of tonBilitis and it is rather doubtful whether or not he will be in shape to meet the Cardinals. Latham brought home a good healthy limp from Pullman but he will be rarin’ to go by the end of the week. Oregon Has Chance To all intents and purposes, Oregon cannot be regarded as one of the strong contenders for the Coast championship, but there is yet a chance for her to end up at the top of the conference heap. In order for this to happen, it is necessary for Oregon to trim Stan ford and the Cards, in turn, would have to hang it over the Oolden Bear. Then, up in the north, W. 8. C. would have to beat Washington and so would Oregon. Then, of course, Idaho would have to take a trimming at the hands .of one of the southern institutions. Stanford Dangerous Stanford is looming as one of the dangerous combinations on the coast this season, and, although she took a beating at the hands of the Trojans, those who have seen the red-shirted eleven from Palo Alto say that the forward defense will average a few pounds short of 200. The rumor that floats up from the south leads one to believe that the Stanford line has speed as well as beef. One thing that is not a rumor and that iB that Stanford rolled up a 40 to 7 score against the Olympic club and that the accounts of the game indicate the Cards had things all their own way throughout the con test. Shy has started holding his workouts behind closed doors, so to speak, and secret practice will be the order for the week, while the coaches are getting the crew in Bhape for Saturday’s tangle with the Cards. SYMBOLIC FIGURES TO ADORN POWER PLANT Avard Fairbanks Working on Sculptural Panels; Finished Product to be Oast In Cement Two reliefs for the front of the new power plant are under process of com position by Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculpture. Drawings of tentative de- # signs have already been worked out and now the clay has been set up. The subjects are to be symbolic and ■worked out in the Aztec manner of high decorative quality, which will be in direct contrast with the simplicity of the building. The one on the right will represent fire and steam, with a seated figure in plume and drapery, and Bmoke used as a motif. The figure for the left panel will be representative of power, the subject being a man kneel ing and putting all his energy into the turning of a gigantic wheel. The panels are about 54 inches by 46, and will be cast in cement. A plaster cast will be made first and the cement poured into the cast. It is not known yet when the designs will be completed. SEWING MACHINE PRESENTED BY Y. W. C. A. ADVISORY BOARD A new sewing machine has been pre sented to the Y. W. C. A. by the mem bers of the advisory board of that or ganization. “The bungalow is open every day and all girls are welcome to use the machine,” said Miss Magowau; campus secretary, in ©harge of the I bungalow.
