'Sophomores Prepare for
j Annual Frosh Parade
'Classic Starts Tomorrow From Library Steps
at 3:30; Cigarettes, Dime, Lid, Old
Clothes in Demand
The first initiation rites for the
class of 1928 into the realm of Uni
versity life will begin tomorrow af
ternoon at 3:30 o’clock in front of
the library steps. The frosh parade,
the annual classic in which each
succeeding freshman class is intro
duced to the Oregon spirit and the
Oregon traditions by the sopho
mores, will follow very closely, so
those in charge say, the same pro
cedure which has been held to each
year.
All University of Oregon fresh
men are requested to be at the start
ing point of the parade at 3:30
sharp and to bring with them the
customary package of cigarettes, to
gether with a dime and their green
lid, the latter to be carefully con
cealed about their person until the
‘ ‘ greeneapping ’ ’ ceremony begins.
Those in charge of the parade al
so suggest that each frqshman at
tire himself in his oldest and most
worthless clothing, only being care
ful to wear garters. It is also sug
gested that boots are too heavy and
clumsy to make the usual “high
stepping” as graceful as it should
be. #
“Pete” Brooks and his gang of
sophomores are arranging a very
complete and entertaining program
for the edification of both the
freshmen and the onlookers.
“It will be to the advantage of
every freshman that he does not
fail to assist in the parade, ’ ’ says
the c-hairmhn of the parade com
mittee.
“The freshmen are asked to stand
on the grass when collecting for the
start of the parade and all mem- j
bers of the sophomore class are
asked to be present equipped with
paddles,” continued the chairman.
The entire University student
body is equipped to attend the cere
monies as well as the townspeople
of Eugene. The line of march will
extend from the library steps
through the business district to the
top of Skinner’s Butte and return,
with incidental stops here and there
at the main festival points.
NEW SCIENCE BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION BEGUN
Hall is Built as Result of
Gift Campaign
The beginning of the actual con
struction of the first wing of the
new science building at the corner
of Thirteenth and Kincaid streets
together with several hundred feet
of new walks in various parts of
the University, .constitute the main
structural activities on the Oregon
campus during the past summer.
Approximately 1500 loads of dirt
have also been hauled and dumped
on the lowlands surrounding the
Oregon and Commerce buildings
and west of Deady Hall. Some of
this fill has already been seeded
with grass but according to Mr.
Fisher, superintendent of grounds
and buildings, there remains a large
section of the lowland still to be
filled. ,
Wing to Cost $100,000
The first wing of the new sci
ence building, which is the first
building to be erected according to
the plan for the “Neiw and Greater
Oregon” as a result of the five
million dollar campaign now in pro
gress at the University, is to be
completed in the spring term of
this school year and put into use,
immediately afterwards. The geo
jlogy department will occupy the
first floor, the reserve library will
temporarily be placed on the sec
ond floor to relieve congestion in
the present library building, and
the top floor is to be occupied by
the psychology department.
Trenchal1 and Putrileas are the
general contractors and the first
wing is expected to cost $100,000
and the completed building, $300,
000. The completed building will
be in the new “ U ” shaped style
which permits the greatest amount
of light for each room. The wing
now under construction is the first
side of the “U”.
Sidewalks are Completed
New cement sidewalks have been
completed from 13th avenue past
Friendly hall and also from 13th
avenue to the Y. M. C. A. Only
general repairs and upkeep are eom
templated during the coming fall
term, according to Mr. Fisher.
STUDENT DIRECTORY WORK
WILL START WEDNESDAY
Work of collecting data for the
student directory will begin today,
Jack Benefiel; graduate manager,
said yesterday. The records in the
registrar’s office will be used in
the work, according to Mr. Bene
fiel, and in order that the informa
tion contained in the book be ac
curate, it is necessary that any
changes in address and telephone
number be reported at once to the
registrar’s office. The booklet will
probably be ready on October 15 and
jwill be on sale at the Co-op.
Frolic Planned For
All Journalists at
Annual Jamboree
Bizarre costumes, good music, ab
sent white collars and ties, and lots
of refreshments—of undetermined
variety will feature the annual
Journalism Jamboree which will be
held in the Men’s gymnasium Fri
day evening, October 10.
Adding interest to the entertain
ment, a miniature nqwspaper,
crowded with scandalous disclos
ures, will be issued every fifteen
minutes, by members of Theta Sig
ma Phi anl Sigma Delta Chi, honor
ary journalism fraternities.
Much of the program is being
held secret by the committee in
charge, which is headed by Ben
Maxwell. However, it ds knpwn
that no civilized clothes, [white col
lars or ties will be allowed, and
that a prize wall be given by Mr.
Maxwell for the most striking cos
tume.
All journalism majors, and stu
dents taking any work in the school
of journalism are expected to be
present in full regalia at this glori
ous stampede.
OPEN HOUSE SET FIH
SATURDAY NIGHT
Open house, the evening when the
members of the various men’s or
ganizations get acquainted with the
members of the women’s fraternities,
is scheduled for Saturday, October
4. The student activities committee
is to meet Tuesday or Wednesday to
decide upon a suitable routing for
the men.
This year a different schedule will
be employed in order that each men’s
house will cover the shortest pos
sible distance, and thereby complete
the rounds in less time than has been
required in former years. An attempt
will be made, according to Randall
Jones, president of the A. S. U. O., to
have the men make a circular route,
ending as near to their starting point
as possible.
The schedule for each fraternity
will be in the Dean of Women’s of
fice by Friday noon, and it is urged
by the activities committee that the
presidents of the various organiza
tions obtain their copy as soon there
after as is convenient.
HOUSEHOLD JOBS ARE
AVAILABLE AT Y. W.
University women wishing good
homes in which to help with the
work for room and board, are
requested by Miss Florence Mago.wan,
secretary of the student Y. W. C. A.,
to report to her at onee at the Bun
galow.
Usually all such places are filled
immediately after the opening of
school, but, contrary to expectations,
there are still several excellent open
ings for those who can take advan
tage of them within a very short
[time.
Only Few Days
Left to Turn
In Slogan
By-Word Must Breathe
Spirit of Oregon
“Time is at a premium for the
submission of a Homecoming slogan
.and right now is the time for some
fertile brain to concoet a by word
for the year. The slogan committee
is going to give very careful con- |
sideration - to every slogan submit
ted, but emphasizes the necessity of
its breathing the very spirit of
“Mighty Oregon,” says Jack High,
chairman of the Homecoming com;
mittee.
Just three days remain for stu
dents^and alumni to turn in their
slogans, and all are urged to respond
to this call. The slogans are to be
turned in to the office of the alumni
secretary, Jeanette Calkins, instead I
of the Emerald, as was announced '
in yesterday’s Emerald.
Not only will the winner receive
five dolars as a prize, if he be a
student, or two complimentary
tickets to the game if he be a for
mer student, but the by iword will
be printed across the front page of i
the Homecoming issue of “Old
Oregon,” and the words will be on
everyone’s lips as the old students
are welcomed back.
CROSS COUNTRY MEN
START WORK TODAY
Material is Lacking for
Oregon Distance Team
Some few cross country men were
limbering up for the first time on
Hayward field yesterday afternoon.
This afternoon the real season’s
work will begin. The turn-out is
small so far with less than
a half dozen men of any experi
ence out. How they will improve
and show up for the remainder of
the season is still to be found out.
More men are expected out as the
season advances.
Cross country teams at Oregon
have been in the slump for the last
four years. When Walkley was
here it was a task to find men to
garner points in the third, fourth
and lower places. Good second
point men were not to be found. Al
though Walkley loped in rwith first
quite regularly, there was no back
ing up from the rest of the team
and they came in so far down on the
list that the aggregate of points did
not win in spite of Walkley’s in
variable first.
Now Walkley has been gone for
two years and those second point
men when they had just begun to
develop, left school. Comparatively
new men will compose the team this
year. Several of last year’s fresh
men distance men will be out and
probably some of this year’s fresh
men class will bring in some ma
terial for future teams. So far
there looks like a dearth of dist
ance men. Robson, Tetz and Keat
ing are about the only veterans out.
DEBATE AND ORATORY
MEETING TO BE TODAY
All students interested in oratory
.and debate are asked by Elam
Amstutz, forensic manager, to meet
this afternoon at four o ’clock in
room 107 of Yillard hall. At this
time, complete debate and oratory
plans for the coming year will be
discussed.
The extempore speaking tryouts
for the Pacific Coast public speak
ing league conference will be held
next Saturday morning, while try
outs for the men’s debate team will
be held one week from this Satur
day. The public speaking confer
ence will be held at Stanford this
year.
<>—
It has come to the attention of
, the Order of the “O” that cer
' tain University freshmen are
wearing high school sweaters
with emblems or stripes denoting
prep school athletic activity. As
; stated in the Oregon “Hello”
book this is against all tradi
! tion and warning is hereby given
I that all offending insignia must
j immediately be removed.
Order of the “O”.
ALL STUDENTS
CO-OP MEMBERS
Membership Granted Free
On Registration, Under
Mew Policy of Store
LIST PRICES CHARGED
Books Sold As Cheaply
Here As in East, in
Spite of Freight Costs
With the opening of the school
year begins the new Co-op policy of
making all registered students in
the University members of the Co
op organization. This plan, which
was adopted at the last regular
Co-op meeting, provides that all
students of the University auto
matically become members upon
registration, and that the directors
of the Co-operative store be elected
at the regular student body elec
tions. ,
Co-op Self Supporting
“There is absolutely no ground to
the report being circulated around
the campus that the Co-op obtains
money through the registrar’s of
fice from the regular student fees,”
said Marion McClain, manager of
the store, yesterday. ‘ ‘ The or
ganization is entirely self support
ing and is operated b^ the students
for their benefit.”
‘ ‘ It was the original plan when
the Co-op was founded,” said Ran
dall Jones, student body president,
in commenting on the new policy
yesterday, “to establish a store
where text books might be sold at
publishers ’ list price, a thing that
is being done now. Freight from
the east on books is expensive and
was charged to the students plus
list price. ’ ’
Books Sell Cheaply
Students are getting their text
books, therefore at exactly the same
price that is charged at Princeton,
Harvard, Yale, and other Eastern
colleges where transportation
charges are praeticaly nothing.
There is to be no number on the
Co-op membership cards this year
other than the student body ticket
number, said Mr. McClain. Cash
register receipts are to be saved
by the purchaser with the privilege
of cashing them in ten dollar
amounts any time after October
15.
STEADY FIELD WORK
CONDITIONS GRID MEN
Steady work on Hayward field has
established the weight of most of
the football squad so that they are
or the most part trained down to the
minimum. A good many of them
rorked all summer at some condition
ing work so at present they are down
just about as far as training will
put them.
Of approximately 45 men out,
20 have remained the same weight
for the two weeks of prctice. How
ever a 'noticeable drop in weight
was evident on the first few days.
After that the majority came back’
to their old weight and some of
them gained.
Approximately 19 of the men
gained weight after two weeks of
practice. Some gained only a pound
and one man gained as high as
seven pound* and it seems to stay
with him. The biggest part of the
nineteen went up only two or three
pounds in the first two (weeks.
Only seven or eight men lost any
noticeable amount of weight. These
men were the heavier men out. The
lighter men usually remained the
j same—neither losing nor gaining.
Training table has been done
' away with for a week and will be
taken up again next week. Bucking
t wheat sacks and working in the
I woods on almost the same kind of
I food has helped many of the men
I out. " '
PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT
Delta Omega announces the pledg
ing of Arlene Hay of Central
Point, Oregon.
Sigma Beta Phi announces the
pledgir.j cf Helen Ernst of Port
j land.
Surviving Officer
of Theta Sigma Phi
Becomes President
Margaret Morrison was elected
president of the local chapter of
Theta Sigma Phi, national journal
ism fraternity for women at a meet
ing of the group yesterday noon at
the Anchorage. Other officers
elected are as follows: Margaret
Skavlan, vice-president; Anna Jer
zvk, secretary and keeper of the ar
chives; Frances Simpson, treasurer.
The election was a special one
made necessary by the failure of
most of the officers to return. Cath
erine Spall, president-elect for this
year, iwas married in the summer
to Laurence Hartmus and has gone
to Honolulu. Katherine Watson,
vice-president, was married to John
Anderson. They are now in Marsh
field. And Marian Lowry is stay
ing out of the University for a year
to take the society-editorship of the
Eugene Daily Guard. Margaret
Morrison was treasurer, and as the
one surviving officer of the sum
mer siege was unanimously chosen
to head the group.
NEW SCHOOL OF OPERA
TO, OPEN THIS YEAR
Mme. McGrew to Teach
Class in Concert Work
An opera school which will be
under the supervision of Madame
Rose McGrew and which will wel
come any student in the University
is being opened this term an the
school of music. Stage deportment
for all kinds of public appearances,
particularly concerts and operas,
will be among the first things stud
ied in the course. Later in the term
scenes from standard operas includ
ing the lighter comic oj>eras, will
be taken up. The fee is reasonable
and the course may or may not be
taken for credit.
Madame McGrew spent six
weeks in New York City during the
past summer studying with Oscar
Saenger, the distinguished singing
master. Mr. Saenger is the first
vocal teacher of note to teach mas
ter classes in this country in sum
mer session.
At the close of the six weeks.
Mr. Saenger gave what he termed a
public rehearsal in which scenes
from eight to ten operas (were pre
sented by students of the opera
class. Mr. Saenger enjoys the dis
tinction of having placed 33
of his pupils in the Metropoli
tan Opera House and he is accepted
in New York City as one of the
greatest authorities in this country
in all that pertains to the art of
singing.
Madame McCfrew is planning to
take the notes that she made this
summer and apply them to her
opera class. She feels that the field
for opera work here is so large and

TERM PREPARES
FAR STANFORD
Willamette Tilt Brings
Out Many Weak Points
In Oregon Squad Work
NEW MATERIAL FOUND
Maddock Starts Drilling
Eleven on New Set of
Plays for Cardinals
‘ ‘ Fundamentals versus team
[days” means the same as Oregon
t'ersus Stanford.
Throughout the entire spring foot-*
hall turnout and during the fall
practice, Joe Maddock has stressed
the importance of a good ground
ivork for his team. Meanwhile
‘Pop” Warner, coach of the Stan
ford eleven, has been drilling his
large squad of experienced letter
men in tricky plays and team
strategy.
Therefore, when Oregon opens her
ootball schedule at Palo Alto, coast
gridiron critics are going to' find
jut the actual merits of the two dif
ferent types of football play.
Cardinals WeU Trained
However, the Stanford eleven is
ilso a team that has spent much of
its time in an environment of the
basic points of the grid game. The
Cardinal squad has had the jump on
the majority of the const confer
ence elevens, as the southern men
pent several weeks before the open
ng of official practice conditioning
themselves by playing class foot
ball.
Beginning this week, Maddock is
also starting a rath,er intensive
practice on some of his new plays.
When the Oregon squad masters a
few of these new plays and per
fects the main points of the gridiron
game, the Lemon-Yellow team will
give Stanford as good a battle that
is possible for a “newly-revised”
eleven to give. *
Although Oregon did not make a
very creditable showing against
Willamette last Saturday, it was an
excellent game to bring out the fact
that even now the squad can im
prove its main style of play. Mad
dock ’s men played the whole game
with practically four plays, which
means that with considerably more
practice the team may develop in
to a squad that is steady in its
play although not a team which
baffles its opponents.
Game Shows tip Men
This pre-season game with the
Bearcats also brought to light some
new material which may prove
valuable to Joe Maddock. Stod
dard ’s work as quarter showed that
he may develop into a first string
man and probably share much of the
signal barking with Louie Ander

SEVERAL CHANGES ARE MADE
IN STAFF OF ART DEPARTMENT
Many changes have been brought
about in the school of architecture
ami allied arts by the departure
for New York of Avard Fairbanks,
professor of sculpture; the addition
of N. B. Zane to the fine arts staff;
the illness of Miss Camilla Leach,
art librarian, and the fact that Al
fred H. Schroff, head of fine arts,
has not yet returned from abroad.
Professor Fairbanks left early in
September on a year’s leave of ab
sence. He motored with his wife and
three sons to Salt Lake City, Utah,
where Mrs. Fairbanks and the child
ren will visit with her parents,
joining Professor Fairbanks in New
York in January. Professor Fair
banks will establish a studio in New
York, where he will do his own com
mission work. He is especially in
terested in establishing a great sum
mer school of sculpture in Portland,
Oregon, and in this project he will
renew his old contacts with eastern
art circles.
His place on the campus is being
taken during his absence by Miss
Katie O. Schaefer of Portland a
graduate in rhetoric from the Uni
versity >f 5'rsgo:'. with 'he 01::“'' of
1918, who 'was for some time a
teacher of art in the Portland grade
schools. jj
Professor Zane was formerly art
instructor at Jefferson high school,
Portland. He is likewise an artist,
whose pastels and decorative work
have been much admired when ex
hibited both here and in Portland.
Miss Leach is still in the Pacific
Christian hospital, where she (was
taken last spring after a fall in
which her hip was broken. She was
kept in a plaster cast until two
weeks ago, but is now able to take
a few steps on crutches. A substi
tute will be engaged to take her
place in the art library of the school
until she is able to be back at her
old post.
Professor Schroff will sail from
Naples, Italy, October 1, stopping
at Palermo and Gibraltar before
returning to New York, and from
there back to Eugene. He expects
to be here at the University by Oc
tober 31 or sooner. He studied at the
Fountainebleau school near Paris,
under an instructor who had been a
pupil of Puvais de Chavanne. The
latter is considered by many one of
the greatest of mural decorators,
and his work may be seen in the
Pantheon. Professor Schroff has
dons mural work, including several
largo frescoes.
