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,

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.

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.”
