FACULTY GRANTS
HALF DAT MONDAY
Regular Classes Scheduled for
Morning; Program Will be
Given During Afternoon
PETITION SIGNED BY 1,100
President Expresses the Hope
That All Students Will Give
Loyal Support to Decision
There will be a half-holiday the after
noon of Monday, November 12, but
classes will be held as usual Monday
morning, according to a statement is
sued by President Campbell late last
night, after a conference with Ameri
can Legion officials.
This action seemed to the administra
tion and to the Legion officials to be
the most expedient way of getting
around a complicated problem—that of
properly observing the spirit of Armis
tice day and yet not causing a too seri
ous break in the school routine in a
month which is much broken up by
Homecoming activities and Thanksgiv
ing holidays.
Legion Favors Half Day
The Legion felt that the students
should take part in some sort of Armis
tice day observance, and feared if a
holiday were granted all day Monday,
so many students would remain in Port
land that any celebration of the day
in Eugene would be lacking in college
participation. The administration felt
that if the students were given a vaca
tion all day Monday, they would prob
ably return to the campus so late Mon
day night that Tuesday’s classes would
suffer.
with the granting of the half-holiday
Monday, (fitting observance may be
made of the day, as the Vesper services
to be held at the Methodist church
Sunday afternoon will be in the form
of a memorial to soldiers who lost their
lives during the war, and a program
to be arranged for Monday afternoon
■will celebrate the day of victory.
With such a two-fold observance of
the day, it is expected that ex-service
men who were responsible for the circu
lation of a petition to provide time to
fittingly obse»ve the day, will find
their wishes complied with. The peti
tion contained aoout 1,100 signatures of
University student.s at the time tin
administration, and Legion officials
took the matter up.
A complete program for Monday
afternoon will be formulated in time
for publication, probably in the Sunday
Emerald.
President Gives Statement
President Campbell’s statement as
given to an Emerald reporter at a late
hour last night is:
“In view of the fact that the fall
term is much broken up by Homecoming
and Thanksgiving, it has been thought
best to ask the students who have peti
tioned to have Monday made a full
holiday in recognition of Armistice
•uay to join with the faculty in minimiz
ing the break in regular work by heart
i.y supporting a half d ay of recitation
Monday forenoon and then joining with
the Eugene post of the American Le
gion in Armistice day exercises in the
afternoon. The members of the post
have asked for such a joint program.
The Vesper service Sunday in which
the University and the members of the
Legion join will be in the nature of a
memorial service.
“The exercises Monday afternoon
will be more in the nature of a celebra
tion at which it is hoped that Colonel
Header, who was in charge of the mili
tary training on the campus during
the war period, will be one of the
.speakers. The Legion wijl probably
Also put on a matinee dance.

Student Who Takes
Leading Role in Play
Elizabeth Robinson
HOUSE ON DOVER ROAD
SETTING OF NEXT PLAY
Betty Robinson to Take Lead in
Mask and Buskin Comedy
A house on Dover roaK dedicated to
persuading eloping couples of their fol-!
lies, and Latimer, a wealthy old bache
lor who runs the establishment mainly
for his own amusement, are the begin
nings of the plot for Milne’s “Dover
Road,” the Mask .and Buskin play for
the fall quarter.
Betty Robinson will play the woman’s
lead, opposite Darrel Larson and Ted
Baker, while Kate Pinneo, famed for
her comedy roles, will furnish merri
ment and amusement in her own inimit- j
able style opposite Dave Swanson.
Ted Baker will act as manager fori
the play which will be staged at the
Heilig theater Monday, November 19,
under the direction of Fergus Reddie.
It is planned to bring scenery for the,
set from the Heilig in Portland.
The plot is a comedy with many
clever lines, amusing situations and
likable characters. It has snap and
dash, and made a success when played
in New York.
Mask and Buskin is the campus chap
ter of the National Collegiate Players.
It is the custom of the organization
to produce at least one play during
the year, sometimes more. “Come Out
of the Kitchen,” played last year at
the Heilig, with Lorna Coolidge in the
lead, was one of the most successful
plays the group has produced.
Other members of the cast for “Dover
Road” are Virgil Mlulkey, Betty Belle
Wise, Wenona Dyer, Paul Krause and
Barney McPhillips.
BACTERIOLOGY CLASS
STUDIES SANITATION
Modem Creamery Sanitation Methods
Explained to Students; Ice Cream
Given as Refreshments
The class in sanitation of the depart
ment of botany and bacteriology, aC*J
companied by Professor Alfred R.
Sweetser, made a visit to the Eugene
Farmers’ creamery Tuesday to study
the methods and work of the company.
How butter is made, the manner of
putting up milk, the making of ice
cream, and general organization and
methods of work were explained by the
manager of the creamery. Sanitary pre
cautions, as the students of the class
are now studying milk sanitation, the
visit was a very insructive one, giving
them an excellent idea of a systematic^
sanitary, up-to-date creamery.
In conclusion samples of ice cream
were given as demonstrative refresh
ments and the enlightened party re
turned home.
Coifrt of Swat Holds Session ■
and Bailiffs Do Their Stuff
The high court of Swat held forth
.on the library steps yesterday morning
with Justice Sax presiding, seconded
by several husky armed bailiffs from
the ranks of the Order of the “O.”
Several refractory members of the
Secret Order of the Green Turban were
hailed before the midget bailiff and re
ceived punishment for various crimes,
varying from the misdemeanor of carv
ing the verdant headpiece to the gross
felony of stating that Oregon traditions
be relegated to the hottest portion of
the hereafter.
With stern countenance the justice
hailed the culprits before him, read
the charge, passed judgment himself
and held on high the digits of the
right flipper, indicative of the punish
ment to be meted out. From the roster
of bailiffs one of those worthies step
ped out, doubled the culprit at the
.customary forty-five degrees and dealt
the punishment. In the session yester
day bailiffs Latham, Alstoek, Sorsby,
Risley, Blake, Gowans and Williams
officiated on the business end of the
famed instrument of torture.
Of all the unspeakable crimes in the
history of the University, there were
some yesterday that won the gnat’s
memorandum book.
The lack of a green lid, pigging
under an umbrella, no hello are very
common, but a freshlet wearing rub
bers, what is the institution coming to
I next ? The only rubber a freshman
should be connected with is his neck,
ordained the justice—and the misde
i meanor rated five applications of the
persuader.
High school days are to be referred
to in the memory book and not by
word of mouth. The instigator of this

Y. W. C. A. DRIVE
WELL SUPPORTED
Delta Omega, Pi Beta Phi and
Thacher Cottage Respond
With 100 Per Cent Reports
CAMPAIGN IS PROLONGED
“Judging from the reports which
have come in so far, Oregon women are
making a pretty general and generous
response to the drive,” said Miss Flor
ence Magowan, campus Y. W. C. A.
secretary, in speaking of the finance
campaign which the organization is
putting on this week. “We have com
plete returns from three houses, and in
each case they subscribed 100 per cent.
Faivorable but incomplete reports have
come in from ten other houses, and only
seven have sent in no report at all.”
Houses which have responded with
100 per cent reports are Pi Beta Phi,
Thacher cottage and Delta Omega, In
the case of Delta Omega, the money
was all turned in before the actual
drive began. Houses from which par
tial returns have been made are: Alpha
Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta,
Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Gamma
Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Sigma Beta Phi and
Susan Campbell hall.
$500 Turned In
The total of money turned in to date
is somewhere around $500. Although the
goal of the drive is $1,600, the returns
indicate that it will probably be reach
ed, as the drive is more or less pro
longed despite efforts of the committee'
of which Luella Hausler is chairman, to
make it cbncentrated. Town girls pre
sent a problem, for it is difficult to
reach them, and necessarily that fact
makes the campaign take a few more
days than it otherwise would. How
ever, the town girls are responding
well, under the direction of Cccila John
son.
Uses to which the money in from the
drive will be put as enumerated in the
budget for 1923-24 are: national pled
ges, World Student Christian Fellow
ship society fund, salaries, bungalow
upkeep, printing, office supplies, social
affairs, speakers, conventions and mis
cellaneous fund.
Town Women to Aid
Lest spring prominent Eugene women
who were inetrested in the Y. W. C. A.
volunteered to raise $1,500 among
themselves. This amount was pledged
almost entirely by the town and faculty
women and faculty members’ wives.
Payment on the pledges is being made
at the present time.
Returns from the seven houses which
have not as yet reported are desired
as soon as possible, so the drive can
be brought to a close, as it has been
running%ince Tuesday and finance com
mittee members are desirous of closing
the matter with as much dispatch as
will enable them to reach all campus
women.
The finance campaign is entirely
sei arate fron/ the membership drive
which is also being carried on now,
for membership in thei organization
does not necessarily imply financial
support, and, conversely, financial sup
port does not automatically make one
a member.
HISTORIC BOOKS SENT
TO UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Volumes Published in Seventeenth and
Eighteenth Centuries Included
in New Collection
Several interesting old volumes have
been received recently by the library.
Most of these old books which are worn
by use were published in the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries.
Among the collection is “Principia
Matheseos,” by Des Cartes. It is iu two
volumes and was published in 1659.
“Elements of Algebra,” by Euler, pub
lished in 1797 in London, “Elements
De Geometrie,” published in Paris in
1775; “Trigonometria Britannica,” in
1633; “Auctores Mythographi Latini,”
1742, and a book of Latin published
in Germany ,in 1749 are in the collec
tion. A bound copy of tJLife Illus
trated,” a New York newspaper dated
1867, has been received also.
Six new card catalogue cases, each
containing 15 tray sections, were in
stalled in the library this week. Cata
logue drawers had been greatly crowded
before the additions were made. Now
a general expansion of all the list cases
will be made. The new card cases were
made by the library bureau firm and
match those already in use.
MANY OLD GRADS
PLAN TO RETURN
Homecoming to Have Novel
‘Features, Says Rockhey;
Committees Well Organized
MORTAR BOARD TO PLEDGE
Plans for Homecoming are going on
apace with a larger percentage of old
grads coming back this year than ever
before, says Haddon Rockhey, chairman
of the committee.
Perhaps the persons who will come thg
farthest to witness the annual Oregon
O. A. C.^game are Judge Charles E. Hen
derson and his daughter, who are trav
eling all the way from Indianapolis.
Judge Henderson is a graduate of the
class of 1893.
The publicity committee of which
Doug Farrell is chairman, has also re
ceived acceptances from Governor and
Mrs. Walter M. Pierce, Superintendent
and Mrs. J. A. Churchill, Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar B. Piper, Bishop and Mrs. Walter
T. Sumner, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Gerling
ger, and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Colt of the
First National bank of Portland.
Cup Is Offered
The nQise parade, which promises to be
as noisy as ever, will have somg un
usual features, according to Eddie Ed
lunds, chairman. A cup will be offered
again this year to thg men’s house which
produces the loudest noise-making in
strument, money expended not to exceed
$10. Each house must furnish its own
conveyance, for noise-making machines,
says Edlunds. For the past two years,
Bachelordon has carried home the tro
phy, and there is no doubt but what the
bachelors will be out to excel again this
year in order to balance up their mantel
piece by having a cup in the middle.
Class donations of $50 each, to be
used for fireworks during the parade^
are being turned in to the committee.
The senior class has already given its
money while others are expected as soon
as class meetings are held.
Absolutely the biggest bonfier ever
built is promised by the enthusiastic
freshmen, and according to Jack High,
who is supervising the work, the organ
ization is better this year than ever be
Material Is Gathered
Already a great deal of material is
on the grounds and plans have been
worked out which will insure the pres
ence of every freshman to help build
the fire. Freshmen girls are also said
to be super-enthusiastic over their
part of the work, that of providing hot
coffee and doughnuts for the hungry
frosh, and that, if nothing else, should
insure a hundred per cent attendance.
Work will start on Thursday noon pre
ceding the Friday of Homecoming, and
at that time all material will be on
hand so that the construction can pro
ceed more rapidly. An annual feature
of the campus luncheon, which will be
staged this year, as usual, is the pledg
ing to Mortar Board, senior women’s
honor society.
Old Grads to be Fledged
Every year the members of the or
ganization march through the crowds,
dressed in cap and gown, and pledge
new members. The society, which was
formerly a local organization known
as Scroll and Script, was installed last
spring on the campus and will at this
time take in to membership all return
ing grads, who were members of the
local organization, and who have be
come automatically eligible to member
ship in the new national.
Initiation for those elected will be
held on Sunday morning following,
when a breakfast will be given at the
Anchorage for all new and old mem
bers.
BLEACHERS BEING COVERED
North Arc at Hayward Field Will Hove
Roof by Homecoming Tine
A new cover over the north arc of
bleachers on Hayward field is now be
aig constructed and is expected to he
finishre by Homecoming. The esti
mated cost for the constructs 1 is
$2,500. The contract was awards i to
Earl Drew.
Wmle it is probable that the et»t
blear hers will be preferred on nice
days, the* new cover will afford a dry
place to sit on wet days.
Grid Battle Between
V •
Oregon and Stanford
Draws Interest North
Noise Parade to Follow Rally at Multnomah Club
Tonight at 9:30; University Alumni Work
to Insure Success of Affair
By KEN COOPER.
On to Portland.
That will be the battle cry this afternoon when the University
moves to the City of Roses for the week-end to view the Oregon
Stanford game and to take part in the rally and festivities apper
taining thereunto. Southern Pacific, Oregon Electric, Henry Ford
Limited! Every north-bound mode of conveyance will be jammed
to the gun’ales with students who are anxious to be on hand when
the crippled varsity either stacks the cards or gets put definitely out
of the race for the coast grid honors.
FISH-ROOK CONTEST
TODAY ON DELL FIELD
Aggie Squad Reported Heavier
Than Local Yearlings
This is red letter day in the lives of
some three dozein freshmen football
warriors. Today Coach Williams and
his doughty gang of gridsters invade
the Aggie stronghold for the annual
clash with the Books.
In going against the Corvallis year
lings, the freshmen run up against the
heaviest aggregation they play this
year. Comparative scores from the
Columbia contests give the Rooks a
seven-point advantage, but this means
little when the go this afternoon is
considered. Comparative scores are
forgotten and the game becomes a
miniature of the Oregon varsity and
the Aggie homecoming clash.
Last night Williams, Rinehart and
Earl gave tho freshmen a long chalk
talk and also an idea of the fight a
freshman eleven puts up against their
traditional rivals for gridiron honors.
The youngsters are fit for the combat.
Few injuries have hampered the eleven
this year and the first stringers are
ready for the whistle that will send
them against the Rooks on Bell field.
The Rook line will outweigh the
freshman forwards several pounds to
the man and with Schulmerick in the
backfield, the ball carrying offense of
the Aggie , youngsters will prob|bly
balance the scales higher than the
freshman backfield. What they lack
in weight they will make up in fight
and we know that Baz has instilled
some of that fight he used against
Pennsylvania and Harvard some years
back.
With all his spares on the bench,
Williams will be able to send in fresh
men at any stage of the game, but it
is likely that his first lineup will see
most of the fray.
The probable lineup for the go to
day will be: the line from left to right,
Brooks, Kerns, Carter, C. Johnson, L.
Johnson, Kjelland and Dills; backs,
Mimnaugh, quarter; Jones, fullback;
Agee and Socolofsky, halfbacks.
In Harrison, Williams has a brainy
and cool-headed quarterback who can
run tho team well and kick with the
best of them. It is likely that he will
see service in the game and may start.
Some of the men doing duty on the
second string look all as good as the
regulars and may be injected into the
fray if needed.
The squad leaves at 9:00 this morn
ing with the following men accompany
ing the coaches: Johnson, Carter, L.
Johnson, Stearns, Kjelland, Kerns,
Brooks, Dills, Adolph, Bellshaw, Offi
cer, McClung, E. Jones, Blake, Collins,
Lewelling, Barbur, Parley, Flannigan,
Harrison, Mimnaugh, L. Jones, Agee,
Socolofsky, Post,* "^itus, Kiminki, W.
Socolofsky, Cash, Stonebreaker, Leavitt.
GODFBEY SPEAKS ON NEWS
BEFOBE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
George H. Godfrey, major in the
University school of journalism, who
covers Springfield news for the Morn
ing Register, gave a 20-minute talk
before the junior English class of the
Springfield high school Wednesday
afternoon on the choice of news and
the construction of news stories. He
urged the students to write news as
if it were to be read by a person in
a great hurry.
xne varsity will entrain this after
noon on the Shasta, 24 strong, not
counting the coaching staff, Bill Hay
ward, and the manager. Shy’s men
put in a tough afternoon of scrimmage
last night, battling against Scrap
Iron Toole’s famous fighting super
varsity. This morning the boys will
taper off with a light signal practice
to loosen up their joints. By leaving at
4 o’clock this afternoon, the team will
arrive in plenty of time to show their
faces at the big rally and noise parade,
which, according to the advance re
ports,, will be one of the biggest and
noisiest affairs of this nature ever wit
nessed by the good people of Portland.
Two Specials Leaving
The Southern Pacific is running a
student special which will leave this
afternoon at 1:15 p. m. and in another
15 minutes, or precisely at 1:30 p. m.,
the Oregon Electric will send another
student special in the wake of the
earlier train. The trains will arrive
in Portland about the same time so
take your choice and provide your own
excitement till you arrive in the city
of rain and roses. After that it is
all arranged to have a regular hoe
down, knock-down, drag-out rally and
noise parade with the grand prix going
to i'ne loyal Oregon student (grada in
cluded) who can rip a few bricks out
of the Imperial hotel with his vocal
poiiorinances. ‘
It is the understanding that all of
the students who drive up to the gamo
shall stop off in Corvallis to watch
the rooks of our sister institution enter
tain our freshmen on Bell field. The
frosh-rook go is scheduled for 2 p. m.
and will probably last about an hour
and a half, so that those who wish to
see the contest may do so with a
clear conscience, providing they are
able to herd their gas gondolas over
the remaining 80 miles of asphalt in
three hours. The frosh will need all
of the backing they can get.
Band Leads Bally
Those in charge of the rally knew
that students always gather at the
brick hotel at the corner of Broadway
and Washington, so they decided to
start the proceedings from that point.
The university band in full regalia
with tho male element of the student
body in tow and will head in the gen
eral direction of the Multnomah club.
Here, the officials will have the scen
ery all placed for a huge stag smoker
and yell feet. Nothing is barred but
hob-nailed boots and the management
has made a special request that none
of th students wear kicks that will
mar the club’s gym floor.
The real noise does not start, how
ever, till 9:30 p. m., when the gang
leaves the club and starts one of tho
most stupendous noise parades ever
paraded. Tho alumni are in charge of
producing the noise makers and if the
reports are true, the parade will make
a boiler factory seem the study room
in a deaf and dumb school. The noise
parade will end the festivities for the
evening, but tomorrow at 12:30 p. m.,
'the thunderin’ thousands will again
gather at the Imperial hotel and again
the band will lead the gang to the
Multnomah club, but this time the par
ade will end in the rooting section of
the Oregon bleachers. There, you have
all of the lurid details of the rally.

ERROB IN STORY CORRECTED
Mr. Henry Davis, secretary of the
Y. M. C. A., will take charge of ob
