DELEGATES BACK
Carter Takes Robinson’s Place
as Student Representative
at Los Angeles Conference
RUDD ELECTED PRESIDENT
Sunday Emerald Holds Unique
Place as Only Publication of
Kind Printed on Coast
Frank Carter, vice president of the
student body; Leo Munly, manager of
the Emerald, and Arthur S. Rudd, edi
tor of the • Emerald and newly-elected
president of the Pacific Intercollegiate
Press Association, returned Monday
night from Los Angeles, where they at
tended conferences of the college news
paper and student body representatives
from various western colleges and uni
versities. The men are euthusiastic
over the results of the conference, and
they compliment the U. S. C. for the
enjoyable entertainment given them
during their visit.
At a meeting of the P. I. P. A. one
of the important events was that of
appointing a corresponding secretary to
work with the president through corres
pondence with all conference members
in acquainting each with the various
campus activities of other college?.
Some of the work of the editorial sec
tion of the P. I. P. A. will be the
sending of frequent reports of gen
eral news interest from various
campuses, the exchange of pictures and
cuts of athletes and athletic activities,
reports of local activities of conference
members and movements which they
have fostered, the exchange of news
papers and the constructive criticism
of the same by conference members and
the supervision of various campus
movements instigated by student news
papers. Rudd’s new position enables
him to work in close cooperation with
this secretary.
Criticism Given Publications
A large part of the conference was
spent in definite criticism of all
papers, and in the exchange of ideas.
The Sunday Emerald was discussed
after the presentation of several copies
by the Oregon delegation. This paper
is the only student paper on the coast
having a Sunday edition. Several of
the papers have but two or three edi
tions a week.
One of the important acts of the
conference was the passing of a resolu
tion favoring the campus community
chest idea.
This conference is the first at which
the managers of student papers have
convened. Leo Munly represented U.
of O. At the meetings, the forming of
a permanent organization was discussed
to keep all managers in touch with one
another. Herbert Brink, manager of
the Washington Daily, was elected
secretary, and every month the man
agers of all college publications be
linging to the P. I. P. A. will write
to him, reporting all business of inter
est of the previous month. He is to
compile and mimeograph these reports
and send them to each member, thereby
keeping in touch with each other. He
also writes to the Roy Barnhill and
Collegiate Special Advertising agencies
and keeps them in touch with the work
of the P. I. P. A. These agencies
handle practically all the advertising
given to coast collegiate papers.
Questions of advertising were dis
cussed and plans were made for the

BE STAGED THIS EVENING
Vocal and Piano Selections Will
Vary Recital Program
Amber and rose lights on a jeweled
headband, the tinkling of gypsy coins
and silver anklets—such will be the
pageantry of the Denishawn dances
introduced on the campus )jy Juanita
Jackson tonight at 8:15 in Guild the
ater. Miss Jackson will bo sasisted on
the program by Elizabeth Nelson, so
prano, and Jean Harper, pianist. This
is the first dance and music recital of
its sort to be given on the campus.
One of the dances is an East Indian
temple nautch dance, another very
striking one is from Ruth St. Denis’
visualization of Brahm’s Waltz. There
are others in different spirit. Miss
Jackson spent the past year studying
in the Denishawn school in Los Ange
les, California, where she learned the
technique knowir for its plastic lines.
She this year refused an offer to teach
in the Edith Emmons school there.
Miss Jackson’s first work in dancing
was in California under Norma Gould.
Later she studied Russian ballet and
toe work with Belcher of Los Angeles,
but she prefers the Denishawn methods.
In the latter study she studied racial
types, habits and customs, so that her
work might be as authentic as possible.
She taught a dancing class in Eugene
two years ago,
Elizabeth Nelson is a senior in the
school of music, a member of the glee
club and a pledge of Mu Phi Epsilon,
national music fraternity for women,
m the University of Idaho she sang the
role in “Pinafore,” and the second role
in “Faust.”
Jean Harper is a freshman, has been
presented twice in Portland individual
ly, whre she is a member of the Mc
Dowell club, and studied under Beatrice
Hidden Eichenlaub. She belongs to
the University orchestra, and is accom
panist for John B. Siefet-t of /the
school of music.
Lighting effects have been under
the direction of Virgil Mulkey.
The box office in Guild theater will
be open today from 9:00 a. m. on.
Tickets are 50 cents, all the seats be
ing listed as reserved seats.
“A*Shine, a Dime99 Is Motto
of Third Year Bootblacks
“Sliina da shoe—lady? Two nickels j
—one dime, one dime, one shine.”
“Yerra good shoe, sirra, but maybe |
she look better, if she have a little
polish—no?” t
Providing the weather man is good
natured on Thursday, the atmosphere i
of Sunny Italy will prevail on the
campus for the day with shoe shining !
apparatus very much in evidence.
Bright-qolored baiidhSias, curtain
rings of all descriptions to be used as
ear-rings, scarfs of varied hues, in fact
anything which will be a touch of
color is being commandeered by mem
bers of the junior class in preparation
for the big event of the year.
As for accommodations, one will not |
be turned away, the juniors promise, for
want of a place to sit while having
one’s galoshes renovated. Everything !
from real boot-black stands on down
the line to wheel chairs and baby car
riages will be used to accommodate the
crowds.
The feature of the occasion will occur i
in the_morning^ .when all customers
will be given a numbered ticket. At
11 o’clock a raffle will be held, and
the holder of the lucky number will re
ceive a handsome shoe-shining kit.
No reduction will be made in case
one wishes to have more than one pair
of shoes shined, the juniors say, but
on the other hand, no extra charge is to
be asked because of the unustial dimen
sions of the pedal extremities of the
customers. Fairness in all cases is the
motto of the third-year men, and the
campus is asked to respond with as
much business as possible. This is the
second annual shine day to be held on
the Oregon campus, it having been orig
inated by last year’s junior class. The
money is used for Thanksgiving bas
kets for the Eugene poor.
The plans are made, the committees
appointed, and the material purchased, i
It only remains for the weather man
to do his duty, in which case, annual;
Junior Shine Day will proceed as|
scheduled.
CAMPUS LUNCHEON
FUNDS DUE TODAY
Homecoming Committee Asks
Student Cooperation in
Securing Rooms for Alums
NO GRADS TO BE IN PARADE
Fireworks on Line of March
and on Butte to'Add Color
to Noise Making Features
Calls for student cooperation in
Homecoming plans are being sent out
by the campus luncheon and rooms and
accommodations committees. Plans for
the big annual affair are well under
way and include colorful features.
Georgia Benson, chairman of the
campus luncheon committee, asks that
all students turn in their 50 cent tax
by tonight. The fraternities and halls
of residence and the students who eat
at Friendly hall have already turned
in their quota. The other students are
being solicited individually -and jare
asked to cooperate by having the
money in tonight. The committee is
working hard for this end and ask that
those students who have no telephones
leave the money with their landladies
for the solicitors to collect.
Music During Luncheon
Other plans for the campus luncheon
are advancing. There will be a musical
program during the hours of serving
to lend an air of gaity to the affair.
Upperclassmen and alumni will eat in
the men’s indoor gymnasium. This in
cludes the alums of other universities
who are to be naturalized during the
Homecoming ceremonies.
The rooms and accommodations com
mittee asks that the students who have
connections with Eugene townspeople
solicit rooms for the Homecoming
visitors. It is desired that the list of
available rooms be complete by the end
of the week. There will bo a need of
400 roottns to take care of guests not
staying in organizations.
Rooms to be provided |
Students should tell their friends who
wish to come down, that accommoda
tions will be provided for all, through
this committee. There will be no
other means of securing a place, for
the hotels are reserved for the entire
week-end. All offers of rooms should
be phoned as soon as possible to the
alumni secretary at 1593. Those who
desire to reserve accommodations for
eoming guests should call Mason Dil
lard at 940.
The committee is being flooded by
the daily stream of applications for
rooms. Students should communicate
the plans to thei^friends in order to
facilitate the working of the system.
The guests are to go, directly upon
arrival, to the accommodation desk at
the Administration building where the
alumni and foreign alumni are to regis
ter. This desk will be open from 1 on
Friday to 2 o’clock Saturday and will
be working until after midnight Fri
day night.
Visitors to Register
Besides registering the incoming
grads the desk will provide rooms for
all, dispense badgs to alumni and
guests and serve as a general informa
tion bureau.
Latest developments of features are
in the noise parade. When the big
noise fest breaks loose on Friday night
the grads are not going to be shang
haied into the parade as formerly, but
will be permitted to view the racketing
line from the outside.
“The grads seem to prefer watch
ing to taking part,” says Eddie Ed
lund, in charge of the parade, “so this
year we are going to do away with the j
alumni section and give them their'
chance:”
Fire Works for Rally
Sky rockets, roman candles, spark-1
lers and red and green fire will illumine
the line of march. A feature of a dozen
big exhibition sky rockets on the butte
will be given as the parade turns into
Willamette street.
Beside the house trucks carrying
the noise-making machines, there will ;
be caterpillars with trailers to carry j
the women. A silver cup is being pur- i
chased for the best noise maker. One !
is offered every year for this event.!
Last year Bachelordon carried off the j
trophy. Edlund urges that all the
houses prepare their noise machine
now so that a last minute rush may
be avoided.
Care in handling fireworks is ad
vised by the committee. The danger i
is not small. It was almost decided j
to take the roman candles away from i
the women this year and let the men j
alone handle them, but it was decided
to give the women one more chance.
The parade will start after the bon
fire, from the Sigma Chi corner and
wind down town to the armory where
the big rally is to be staged.
FIRST FORENSIC
MEET HERE FRIT
League Organized Last Spring
at California to Hold Initial
Meeting on Oregon Campus
«
CONTEST TO BE STAGED
“Criminal Syndicalism Laws”
Subject Chosen for Orations;
Coaches Will Act as Judges
The Pacific coast forensic league
opens sessions Friday morning for a
two-day conference at the University.
This will be the first meeting of the
group since its organization at the
University of California last spring.
Nine of the eleven institutions form
ing the league have sent word that
they will have representatives at the
meet. They are University of Idaho,
Washington State college, University
of Southern California, University of
California, Stanford university, Oregon
Agricultural college, Beed college, Wil
lamette university and University of
Oregon. The University of Washington
and the University of British Columbia
have not as yet sent word that they
would have delegates at the confer
ence. Approximately twenty delegates
will be here.
Each Institution Eligible
One of the big events of the confer
ence will be the extempore speaking con
test which will be held Friday night
at 8 o’clock in Villard hall. Each
institution having delegates at the
conference is eligible to have a candi
date in the contest, but Willamette and
Beed will have none at this contest,
thus leaving seven universities to be
represented in the meet.
Martin S. Moore, a sophomore in pre
law, has been named as the Oregon
candidate. The other six contestants
will be, Walter Greathouse from the
University of Idaho, Frank Weller
from Washington State college, Ned
Lewis from University of Southern
California, B. M. Petty from Univer
sity of California, Bobert Littler of
Stanford university, and the Oregon
Agricultural college speaker, as yet un
named.
Experienced Speakers Coming
The contest will bring together some
of the most experienced speakers in the
coast colleges. One of the most out
standing speakers will be Robert Lit
tler from Stanford, who last year at
tended Willamette university where he
won many oratorical honors. The con
test is somewhat different from the
usual oratorical meets in which the
University of Oregon has participated.
Ileretofo/e the University speakers
have given memorized orations, while
in the contest Friday night each
speaker will be given one phase of the
general subject, which was announced
several weeks ago, one hour before the
final contest.
Subject Is Chosen
“The criminal syndicalism laws,” is
the general subject which was chosen.
As yet it has not been decided if there
will be a prize awarded, although it is
expected that will be one of the mat
ters taken up at the conference. The
debate coaches at the institutions hav
ing candidates in the contest will
judge the speeches, each coach voting
on all speakers but the one from his
university.
Forensic leaders at Oregon feel that
it is a great honor to have the league
hold its first conference at the Uni
versity, and expect that the meeting
will do much to encourage interest in
forensic work.
GEORGE GODFREY LEAVES
Delegate to Attend Sigma Delta Chi
National Convention
George H. Godfrey left for San Fran
cisco early yesterday morning on his
way to the national convention of the
Sigma Delta Chi to be held in Min
neapolis.
Godfrey, the delgate from the local
chapter, will arrive in Minneapolis
next Saturday or Sunday in time for
the opening of the convention which
will be in session November 19, 20 and
21. Last year the convention was held
at the University of Kansas, but the
University of Minnesota is this year’s
meeting place.
It is expected that the national offi
cers of the fraternity, the governor of
Minnesota, the mayors of St. Paul and
Minneapolis and the representatives of
i'<8 active chapters and 8 alumni chap
ters will be present at the meeting.
Godfrey is returning by way of the
northern route through Spokane and i
will be back in Eugene in time for the i
Homecoming game, November 24. *
Swimming Pool in
Men’s Gynasium
Has New Filterer
With the completion of the new fil
tering system in the men’s gymnasium,
the swimming pool will be one of the
most modern in the state. Work has
been progressing on the filterer for
the last two weeks and it will be com
pleted by the end of the week. In
the meantime the pool cannot be used.
The filterer is located at the west
end of the tank in the basement and
consists of one new tank and a used
one. The water in the tank will be
pumped out into the filterors through
the lower end and pumped in again in
three streams in the shallow or upper
end of the pool. The system is large
enough to handle or filter 100 gal
lons of water a minute so that the
entire tank can be filtered, the 70,000
gallons, in 12 hours. This system in
cludes the modern sanitary methods of
filtering, chemicalized gravel and sand,
thus keeping the bacterial count very
low.
Although the pool was in no bad
condition, the addition of the filtering
system will greatly increase its cleanli
ness. There will be a complete turn
over of the water in the pool every
12 hours. Pure water will be coming
in and impure going out in a steady
stream.
Beside the cleanliness of the sys
tem, it will decrease the cost of water
for the department. Formerly the
water was changed every week and
the condition was not highly sanitary.
With this filtering system the same
water can be used for five or six
weeks and will be purer and more
sanitary than with the old method.

ENTRIES FOR FALL
TRACK MEET OUE
Hayward Must Have All Names
Today to Arrange Lists
For Near Inter-Class Meet
MANY NEW MEN NEEDED
Graduation Takes Many From
Line of Last Year’s Squad;
Relay Team to be Picked
Entries for the fall interclass track
meet must be in the hands of Bill
Hayward sometime today, so that he
may arrange his lists for the event
Saturday morning. This is the first
track meet to bo held in the fall and
all the events with tho exception of
the mile will be run off.
This meet will give the veteran
trainer a line on the material he has for
the regular track season, next spring.
Since the opening of the term, distance
men, sprinters and hurdlers have been
working out on the cinder oval and
for the last three weeks, weight men
and jumpers have been working out in
preparation for tho coming meet.
New Men Needed
Graduation took such men as Larson,
Oberteuffer, Peltier, Bowles and Starr
and men to fill their shoes will have to
be found in the fall workouts. With
his men picked, Hayward will be able
to get down to strenuous track work
in the spring and thus eliminate a lot
of the preliminary grind.
In the meet Saturday morning the
pick of the class material will com
pete. This includes lettermen and
other men who have represented the
varsity.
The class entries will havo a chance
to compete in everything except the
milo run. Milers who have been turn
ing out for the fall workouts will
compete in an inter-fraternity cross
country run, starting and ending before
the gridiron contest between the Oregon
freshmen and the Washington yearlings.
The first five eligible men in the cross
country run will no doubt represent
the Lemon-Yellow in the annual cross
country contest with the Oregon Aggie
distance men.
Aggies Strong Combination
This fall tho local distance men will
be without the services of Koepp, who
loped in ahead of tho field last year.
With the Aggies certain of a strong
combination, the varsity will have to
hustle to take first honors in the hill
and dale run.
The sophomore class should be
strong in fhei approaching meet as
there were several crack cinder artists
on last year’s green bonnet team. What
the freshmen have, will remain a mys
tery until Saturday. Most of tho candi
dates out for fall track have been fresh
men, but warmup work does not bring
out their real caliber.
Classes May Merge Forces
The seniors and juniors may havo to
merge forces in order to put out a team
of full strength. Spearow, jumper,
will be the nucleus of the upporclass
team. Kosebraugh, relay lotterman,
may represent the senior delegation in
the quarter. Hunt, hurdler, ought to
garner points in the stick events for the
upperclassmen.
In Kelsey and Carlberg, the sopho
mores have two first-class performers
who ought to gather counters for their
respective team. Kisley, best bet the
varsity had in the relay team, is on the
football squad and will be unable to
get into spikes to represent tho seniors.
It is necessary that Hayward have
the lists from the various classes be
fore the day is over to that ho can
figure his events and get the right
number of starters in each event.
Colorful Numbers Feature
Success of Lhevinne Recital
By Mary West
Josef Lhevinne, Russian pianist, was
more than enthusiastically received
lust evening by an audience which fill
ed the Methodist church.
He is an exceptionally gifted artist.
His technique is flawless and yet his
interpretation is so filled with feeling
that there is no hint of the mechanical
in the most difficult of his numbers.
Lhevinne plays with a remarkable easg
and relaxation which shows the per
fect mastery of his fingers, and his
thorough knowledge of musical litera
ture. The most outstanding feature of
his playing is the calmness with which
ho attacks the most difficult passages,
taking away the feeling of effort from
his audience.
His program was one of great vari
ety, consisting not only of classical
but also of ultra-modern numbers. His
opening number was Schumann’s “Car
naval,” which depicts the gay revelling
of the carnival season in Europe. He
brought out skillfully the hilarious
dancing in the streots, and the magnifi
cent balls, and throughout the piece
there could be felt the general jollity
of the occasion.
Lhevinne is a Russian and puts an
added wealth of feeling in his inter
pretation of Chopin, the idol of the
Slavic peoples. His second group was
taken entirely from Chopin and was
brilliantly rendered. The “Berceuse”
was especially well played.
Two of th,e most outstanding of
ultra-modern compositions headed his
third group. The “Une barque sur
1’ocean,” by Ravel, vividly images the
tossing of a frail boat on the waves,
