NUMBER 1
EMERALD DRIVE
IS ORGANIZED
Students’ Families to be
Kept Informed of School
Events by Campus Daily
RATE IS $2.25 FOR YEAR
Paper Best Mirror of Real
University Activity, Say |
Student Body Officials i
A campaign t'o bring the stu
dents’ families into greater famil
iarity with campus life by sending
them subscriptions to the school
paper, the Emerald, is being car
ried on this week. Heretofore, no
effort has been made to increase
Emerald circulation. The students
have all been supplied (with copies,
but there has been no organized ef
fort to distribute it about the state.
Student body officials believe
the Emerald to be the best possible
mirror of the real life of the Uni
versity. It tells of student activit
ies, athletics, scholarship, good
limes, and special lecturers on vital
topics. This is the sort of advertis
ing that will give the University
the greatest aid, it is believed. It
is campus life drawn in its true
colors. The parents who stand be
hind the work of the student body
and administration will have inti
mate knowledge of the thing they
are upholding.
Solicitors Sent to Houses
Heretofore, the students have in
many cases sent copies of the
Emerald home at intervals. How
ever, this method involves trouble
for the student, and postage ex
pense that is approximately as
great as the subscription price. This
week, solicitors will be sent to
every living organization on the
campus to secure the subscrip
tions. Last week a table was
placed in the Administration build
ing and subscriptions were taken
there. The campaign will close the
end of this week.
The price of sending the Emerald
home is 75 cents a term or $2.25
a year. The Emerald does not
make running money from the sub
scription pirice, but a large sub
scription list helps the standing of
the paper with the advertisers.
This term the aim is to have a sub
scription list of 3500, which is 800
over the number distributed last
year. The closing of the active
drive will not mean the end of ef
fort to increase circulation, for the
managers hope to have a circula
tion of 4000 by the end of the
school year.
Alumni to be Benefited
There will be 5000 circulars sent
out to the alumni throughout the
state urging them to take an inter
est in athletics through the Emer
ald columns. The grads will thus
keep in close touch with their Alma
Mater as the University expands.
GRACE EDGINGTON IS ON
HER RANCH NEAR SISTERS
Grace Edgington, former alumni
secretary and editor of ‘ ‘ Old Ore
gon, ’ ’ alumni publication, is on her
ranch, four miles out of Sisters, Ore
gon. She will remain there for a j
year.
‘Fundamental Grind and
Hard Work in Store
for Squad;’ Maddock
J
Terjesen, Reed, Johnson, Bailey, Shields,
Wilson, Mautz, Anderson, and Bliss
Return to Bolster Recruits
Oregon and Willamette played to a scoreless tie last Saturday at
Salem.
The entire squad -will -continue to drill on fundamentals for some time
to come. Fundamentals of everything—the fundamentals of tackling,
UiOCirillg, KICaillg—-Ulen ULil OJL UliS
continual grind will come team
plays. This will be Coac-h Joe Mad
dock’s program for the season.
The Oregon baekfield is due to
work hard for the next few weeks.
And the line is going to work
harder, for Bart Spellman will be
on them—and Bart means business.
“When a man gets good and
tired, he is going to start in to
use his head in football. He’ll
look for easier ways to get his
tired body to do -what it should on
the football field. Believe me,
every man on the field is going to
know that feeling every night from
now on!’’ This from one of the
coaches.
Two Teams on Deck
In a short time now the squad
is going to be cut down to acouple
of teams with a few men left over.
The rest of the football aspirants
will be kept working, however, and
they perhaps will get more football
than the regulars. Maddoek has
a plan that he expects to bring to
light in a few days that is one
thing that Oregon football needs.
Pacific comes to Eugene for a
tussle a week from Saturday. This
game won’t be a snap, for the
Forest Grove men are said to know
football, and they are big enough
to play it.
It’s time to mention some likely
varsity regulars, but again, it isn’t.
Maddoek has picked no favorites,
and Bart Spellman won’t be quoted
on what he -says about his line. It
is possible to name some men that
are possibilities, however.
Nine Regulars Return
Nine regulars of last year, or the
year before are back. In the line,
Bob Mautz, tall end; ..Bailey, Gene
Shields and Bliss, guards, Wilson,
center, and Capharn Dick Reed,
tackle, are on hand. Bliss has been
shifted to end, where he will likely
do a lot of work. In the baekfield
Ward Johnson, now at full, Ander
son, quarter, and Terj^sen, haltf,
are present. To slip in between
these regulars, and to replace them
when necessary, a host of last
year’s freshmen are on hand. It is
out of these freshmen that a kicker
must be found, by the way.
From the former frosh comes
Carl Johnson, who has been play
ing center rather well, Rex Adolph,
who is developing into a kicker,
Mimnaugh, who is rounding into
shape as a quarter with an educated
toe, Agee, a stocky, hard hitting
half, and Lin Janes, a broad
backed boy who will do his part at
full.
Practice Not Secret
Then there are others too.
Powers, end; Marsh, a husky man,
tackle; Byrne, Stoe’kwell, guards;
Gooding, Kearns, Kjelland, tackles;
Dill, end; Burton, Blake, Stone
breaker, Socolofsky, Cash and Scrip
tures in the baekfield. Vitus al
ready deserves special mention for
his work behind the line. He is

CAMPAIGN FOR ALUMNI GIFTS
TO BE PUSHED TO COMPLETION
‘‘We will carry on the alumni
campaign ior gifts to the Univer
sity until our goal of a million
dollars is achieved,” declares Rob
ert B. Kuykendall, ’13, of Port
land, chairman of the alumni cam
paign committee and president of
the University of Oregon Alumni
association. ‘‘Thus far we have
raised slightly over $460,000. We
have not passed the halfway mark
but I know that there are virtually
thousands of alumni and former stu
dents of the institution who will
give if they are only approached
personally for a gift.
• * It is the purpose of the alum
ni committee to fontinue with the
campaign. It is traditional that
the University of Oregon fights
best when the way appears beset
with difficulties; that spirit domi
nates our football teams; it domi
nates the alumni. We are going
ahead with the campaign.”
Due to the illness of President
Campbell the organization of inten
sive state wide campaign for gifts
among the citizens of Oregon, origi
nally scheduled for this autumn,
has been postponed and the whole
effort of the gift campaign organi
zation will be concentrated upon
completing the alumni campaign.
The first step in that direction will
be made in Portland where the
alumni have already given or ob
tained $206,000. Portland’s quota
is about $300,000. P. H. Young,
'14, Portland chairman, will revive
the Portland organization at a
meeting this week. Mr. Youmg
plans to carry on an active period
of solicitation for ten days,
j In addition to the gifts made by
j the alumni, the students last year
I raised $210,000 for a Student
Union, exceeding their quota by
; $19,000. The faculty has given
| $60.000—well over the quota.

H. 0. T. C. HAS CHANGE
IN CLASSES AND DRILLS
The R. O. T. C. is making a
; change in its class and drill routine
this year. Previously at was cus
! tomarv for the freshman military
j class to meet Tuesday mornings for
i theoretical elass work, and drill for
| two hours in the afternoon making
a total of three hours. The new
1 routine does not lessen the number
of hours but divides it up into
three periods a week. Instead of
three hours on one day a week, it
is changed to a one-hour period on
j three days a week.
The commissioned and non-com
missioned officers (will drill with
the freshmen one day a week. The
sophomores, rated as non-commis
sioned, will be divided with ten
men to a company, and each ten
i men will drill with one company
j of freshmen one day a week. The
: commissioned officers, which in
i' eludes junoirs and seniors, (will
drill one hour. The remainder of
the week they will form a company
among themselves, learning tact in
giving commands. ‘ ‘ There will be
no confusion whatsoever,’’ said
j Col. Sinclair, ‘ ‘ if those taking drill
. will carefully study the pamphlet
1 given them.”

| The new school of music auditor
lium, which, according to authorit
| :es, is one of the finest on the
I Pacific coast, will be formally dedi
i cated sometime during the latter
'part of November. There are seve
jral entirely new architectural fea
tures which were designed by Dean
Lawrence of the school of archi
tecture and Dean Landsbury of the
school of music.
•Stage is Terraced
One of the most outstanding is
the stage which is to be strictly
concrete platform without a cur
tain. In front of the stage proper
a series of terraces is arranged at
an angle of twenty-five degrees to
the front of the stage. Each ter
race is four and one-half feet wide
and the difference in levels is eight
inches. The additional stage is re
movable, either one-half or all of
it, thus adding six feet to the depth
of the regular stage. This feature,
which is to promote the most ex
treme sort of intimacy with the
audience, will enable the -orches
tra to be seater half on the stage
and the remainder on the platform.
Provision is also being nlade on
the stage for a chorus of seventy in
I addition to the orchestra.
The ceiling, on which 'work has
I been progressing for ten weeks is
nearly finished. It is entirely’ hand
molded ‘and reputed to be oue of
, the most beautiful and perfect
j pieces of work ever accomplished
I in a structure of this kind. Dean
I Lawrence and other experts have
been at work for some time devis
ing and perfecting a color scheme.
The general tone of the paneling
will be a warm oyster gray. The
coffers in the ceiling will be in old
ivory and gold with stippling. The
floor covering and seats will be
done in gray, a shade darker than
the panels. The curtains will prob
ably be of batiste.
Sun Parlor is Feature
Another unique feature is a glass
enclosed sun parlor which connects
the artist’s retiring room with the
lounge in the studio wing. The
auditorium will seiat approximately
six hundred and fifty people. There
will be no seats under the balcony
; and every seat in the house will
thave an unobstructed view of every
part of the stage.
The Beuter, four manual organ,
I which was a gift to the University,
is valued at $22,000. The organ
console is to be on an elevator in
a pit ^six feet deep immediately in
;front 'of the stage. There is also
an echo organ chamber above the
balcony which contains harps,
I chimes and several soft stops.
Those who hiave seen the audi
] torium feel that Dean Lawrence
i should be highly complimented for
' his efforts, for he is not only cre
! ating an auditorium that will crys
■ talize the ideals of Dr. Landsbury,
i but one that rwill be the gem of
| the Pacific coast in beauty and
usefulness.
RESERVE SEAT BLANK

for the week-end which has. been set
aside for the renewal of acquaint
ance with the Alma Mater and the
active student body.
High jn giving tlie following
message voices the spirit of the
Homecoming committee:
“With the hearty cooperation of
every student on the campus this
year’s Homecoming may be made
as big as the ones of the past, but
it is hard to predict that it will be
greater because of the short length
of time in which we have to pre
pare. However, plans are already
under way and we have a running
start.
“The policy of the Homecoming
electorate will be to unite the Ore
gon student body in a wonderful
reception to the ‘Old Grads’ who
|have ‘carried on’ and left us im
| bibed with that glorious spirit of
j‘Mighty Oregon’.’’
Pep Rally Friday
Friday night, October 31, will be
