PROMINENT OLD-TIMERS COMING FOR WEEKEND Former Prexies and Varsity Men Specially Featured When the grads come pouring in for Homecoming next week, there will be two groups to whose arrival a special significance is attached. Old presi dents of the student body and old members of Oregon’s athletic squads are those included in the new plans. All the A. S. U. 0. presidents, from John MacGregor of last year, to men from the University’s earliest days, have been invited by letter. A gather ing of all these old prexies is to be held in the men’s room downstairs in the Woman’s building. Several an swers have been received already. Carleton Savage, who held the office in the year ’20-’21, and Vernon Motschenbacher, ’14- ’15, are enthused about the plan. “The response to the idea shows that a student body president carries his alma mater close to his heart,” said Claude Robinson, present student bod^ head, who is fostering the plan. Another group whose tjes to Oregon are strong is the Order of the O. Be fore the beginning of the Homecoming game this year, the Order of the O will stage the biggest parade of ath letic veterans ever seen on Hayward field. It is the hope of the parade com mittee that the group will contain a number of every class graduated from the University. The Order of the O men from the last four or five classes are expected to be back with a hundred per cent attendance. It is desired that some of the men from the earliest days of Oregon’s sports be here to swell the group. The University wants them, one and all. There will be accomoda tions for housing them and a special section will be reserved at the game. A special invitation is extended to all Order of O men to be here for the big battle, arrayed in their varsity sweaters. When the serpentine of Oregon’s warriors, old and young, starts in single file about the field, there will be many old, familiar faces represented. Many letters have been received from grads who are going to be back for this parade. From the class of '14, there will be Skeet Bigby, a football, For College Girls GALOSHES They protect your health by keeping your feet dry. Practical footwear for campus service. RADIO BOOTS A simple short top rubber boot that pulls on over your shoes; ideal for these wet days. 828—Willamette —828 Dark Evenings Require Light Treatment These days, when dark ness comes early and even ings are long, make a good light a necessity.

Bill Steers, famous football, basket ball and baseball star, and all star quarterback, who graduated in ’19, is coming down for Homecoming. Ed Ward, a football man of the same year, will also be here. Ole Larson, last year’s track captain, is another star who has signified his intention of be ing on hand for the parade. FACULTY DRIVE NEARS END Membership in Red Cross Expected to Reach 100 Per Cent Mark The Red Cross drive among the faculty is almost completed, according to E. E. Carlton, field representative of the extension division, who is gen eral chairman of the drive on the campus. All but nine departments have made their reports, turning in 100 per cent subscriptions, Mr. Carlton said. “Quite a large number of faculty members have made substantial dona tions in addition to taking out the annual memberships,” Mr. Carlton de clared. He expects to have complete reports from the remaining depart ments by the first of next week. Judg ing from the returns of the depart ments which have completed their sub scriptions, Mr. Carlton estimates that more than $200 will be received from the faculty. HENDRICKS VICTORIOUS OVER \ TRI DELTS IN SWIFT GAME Hendricks hall, team 1, met the Tri Delt team last night in a game which dricks. It was a fast game and both resulted in a 39 to 5 score for Hen teams played hard throughout. Alberta McMonies, guard, and Josephine Ulrich, center, were the stellar players for Tri Belt. The Hendricks hall forwards, Genevieve Spear and Grace Sullivan, starred for Hendricks, and Alda Knips played a very good game in her posi tion of guard. PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS IS HOUSE MOTHERS’GOAL Heads of Women s Organizations Enjoy Gym Classes, Theater Parties and Hike to Braes “We have wonderful times,” laughed Mrs. Lettie Mowrey, house mother of the Kappa house, in describing the activities of a group of "2£) house mothers and head residents, who have banded together in the pursuit of good; times. Hikes, theater parties and gym class es are only a few of the things which are absorbing the interests of the group. Saturday they started early and hiked to the Braes, where they picnieed until late in the afternoon. Tuesday nights about 10 women, under the in struction of Mrs. Mowrey, gather at the Woman’s building for gymnasium work. Those who are taking active part in the good times are: Miss Sue Badollet, Mrs. Lucy Perkins, Mrs. Jesse Stearns, Mrs. Lucy Abrams, Mrs. Mildred Gif fen, Mrs. Jane Walker, Mrs. W. F. Graham, Mrs. Katherine Yerex, Miss Edna Porter, Mrs. Grace Russell, Mrs. Nora Welch Crump, Mjss Gertrude Tal bot, Mrs. S..N. Boyer, Mrs. Lettie Mow rey, Mrs. C. M. Krumfcein, Mrs. F. W. Benson, Mrs. J. W. Kays, Miss H. Broeksmit, Mrs. J. G. Lange and Mrs. Linda D. Casey. U.S. C. MAN WINS PRIZE IN EXTEMPORE CONTEST (Continued from page one) tions, and elect officers for the ensu ing year. In the afternoon, the meeting which was planned will be dispensed with, and the delegates will attend the foot ball game between the University of Oregon and University of Washington freshmen. In the evening delegates and wearers of the debate “O” will be en tertained at a banquet in the sun par lor of the Woman’s building. Delegates Are Given Besides the speakess mentioned above, the complete list of delegates is: Prof. W. L. Wandless, Utah Agricultural Col lege; Prof. Merrill Goode, Montana Obak’s Kollege Krier OBAK Wallace, Publisher E. A. C. S. service L.L.J. Office boy and editor Volume 3SATURDAY, A. M.Number 5 Slogan Causes Much Gossip ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ § May Take Krier Into Court Wives Are Desperate at Loss of Husbands Authorities at Obak’s Kollege were thrown into an uproar last night when the rumor reached here that the wives of some prominent alumni members are threatening to sue the institution be cause of the wide-spread use of the re sently adopted home-coming slogan: “Away from the wife, Obak’s is the life.” It seems that some of the women maintain that the nse of this slogan is an alienation of their husbands’ affec tions. Just • how this situation will be met is yet unknown. From the very outset of the thing, it looks decidedly serious, because so many old-timers have written long letters admitting that the thoughts of returning to Obak’s for an evening of perfect freedom and escape from domestic relations is so pleasant that they cannot resist the temptation to re turn. It is said that scores have wired for reservations and from the tones of the letters and wires, it is obvious that the men are planning upon leaving the wives home. The latest reports from the meeting of the board* of regents was to the effect that, no matter how grave the matter flight appear, the Kollege would stick to its original slogan and that everything is being put in readiness for the seekers of pleasure and comfort during the home coming week-end. Perhaps the saddest case of all is that of the faculty member that submitted the slogan, his identity was kept as a secret because of the fear he has of his wife and now it threatens to go to court which will, of course, make necessary and talked things over with those few enterprising seniors that are attempting the use of his name. DIFFICULTIES FOUND IN MUSTACHE DESIRE Our inquisitive reporter went out today to cultivate those peculiar lip growths: that some are vain enough to speak of as “mustaches.” There seems to be many queer condi- j tions envolved in the development of < these hairy decorations of the upper lip. | The most desperate case is that of the 1 Benior who is serving his third term and,! after the expenditure of over $56 on • lotions, ointments and tonics, is still un able to boast of even the slightest rem nants of a growth on the lip. In contrast to this woebegone indi vidual, is the tall, dark, fortunate that claims he has to clip his mustache with scissors every morning in order to keep it out of his coffee. It is said that he often goes to early morning classes with Jfae major portion of buttered toast still clinging to the under brush on his lip; of course, this story may be exaggerated, we only have his word for It. Many of the men who are having trouble with scorching the mustache \ when smoking cigarettes are finding re-1 lief in Obak's assortment of imported pipes; those who have been fortunate in the attempt at winning the mustache contest are also finding comfort and consolation in these same pipes. It seems to be a case of “Get a good pipe, boyB, it will always be your friend.” Fraternity Stationery Dance Programs Coe Stationery Co. 941 Willamette Street George Mansfield, Phone 940, Campus Representative State College; Prof. N.
