paper work in Hood River and Portland
Ifince his graduation, resigned as head

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.

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

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. TO SELL YELLOW
HOMECOMING FLOWERS
Committee Headed by Claudia Broders

Orders lor the yellow chrysanthe
mums to be sold by the Y. W. C. 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.

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

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.
