AdvertUing ratea upon application._ Daily News Editor This Issue Doug Wilson Night Editor This Issue Pete Laurs Assistant .Cliff Wilson A Highway to Learning MEMBERS of the University have heard over and over, and have read over and over, from professors, scholars, stu dents, editors and others, words to the effect that if one wishes to enter into the ranks of the “educated” he must do one thing above all others. This thing, they chorus, is not simply to answer with faith ful voice the daily roll call, and is not simply to sit up into the late evening preparing assigned lessons. This thing, they chant, is a likeable creature, a bit “offish” at first, perhaps, with maybe a drop of the Scotch in him, but is all the more sterling when his friendship is finally won. He is Voluntary Reading, they tell one. And there they stop. “Ah, yes!” says the student, interested in this thing. “I think I will do that.” And he goes to the library and looks at the catalogue help lessly, and his enthusiasm wanes a little. He’ll come back and try it some other time. But he seldom does come back. All these well-meaning advisers should have gone one step further in explaining where one finds this road—where begin. They might have done this, but they don’t. There are two paths leading into this highway to the City of Learning. The first is to consult someone who is already traveling the route, and have him point out a few of the landmarks for which one may strike in the great forest of books in the world today. After thesp first steps are reached and passed, the way will be come smoother and smoother, the hills less steep and less steep, the growth more tangible and more tangible, until the guide will no longer be a necessity. The second should prove more popular. It is to become a regular visitor to the Sheldon shelf in the University Library. This selected group of books was the suggestion of H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, who personally chooses the works to be set asjde. Sight of any one of the 70 titles in the collection is all that should be necessary to kindle in the person who is inter ested enough to glance over the shelf a desire to know more of Literature. He will find it difficult to abstain from picking a book, taking it to the desk, and: signing it out. And as he passes out the door and down the steps, he may or may not know it, but he is on the Road. Dr. Glenn Hoover, who addressed the assembly yesterday, made the statement that the Emerald had “stolen his thunder” in the advance stories it printed on his topic, “European Stu dent Life.” Whether or not this assertion was meant to reflect credit upon the staff of the daily which engineered such a phe nomenal “beat” is uncertain. There is no doubt, however, from the approval which was expressed in the loud and pro longed applause following his delivery that Dr. Hoover had a lot more thunder and his hearers liked it. CHARLOTTE BANFIELD WILL ENTERTAIN CLUB Miss Charlotte Banfield, instruc tor in the dramatic department of the TTniversity, will entertain mem bers of the Monday Book club with j a reading of “The Chinese Night ingale,’’ by Vaohel Lindsay, at their musicalc and tea, October 25, at the Osburn hotel. The affair will be a Chinese tea in all its appointments, and the members and guests will be receiv ed in the Palm and Japanese tea rooms of the Osburn. Chinese cos tumes will be in vogue ami maidens bedecked in oriental dress will as sist in the serving. The program will begin at 2:30. Mrs. James Lester Gualt of Cor vallis will present a group of inter esting Chinese songs from the long ago music of the Far East. Funds from the tea are to be added to the Monday Book club’s annual scholarship loan fund which is used each year to aid self-sup porting girls during their college careers. I DR. SEERLEY TO GIVE FINAL TALK TONIGHT The final lecture of the series of addresses delivered this week by Dr. Frank N. Seerley, noted speaker on Social hygiene, will be given to day at 1:15 o’clock in the men’s gymnasium to men students in the department of physical education. I)r. Seerley addressed the girls of the physical education depart ment yesterday and a meeting of campus men last night in the Y. M. C .A. hut. His subject at this meet ing was ‘^Social Hygiene land Manhood,” The speaker is at the present time making a tour of the western states under the auspices of the American Social Hygiene associa tion.

Editorially Clipped | ■ ■ - ... ■ ■ —— Minnesota. — Undergraduate 'en thusiasm w:aa whipped to fighting pitch at the gigantic “pep-fest” which was held to officially open the football season. An immense bonfire, speeches by Minnesota gridiron heroes past and present, yells, songs, and the selection of a rooter king to leaid Minnesota fans in their first season in the new Memorial Stadium, were the fea tures of the evening. . . . Men’s Panhellenic is enforcing the rules concerning no fraternal rushing during the fall quarter. This rule for no rushing the first term is a new one for Minnesota and is work ing most successfully. Fraternit ies will not rush or pledge a new student until the second quarter, in order to raise the standards of scholarship. . . . Western Reserve.—The historic flag rush went into oblivion this year, replaced by the pushball con test. The latter had its inaugura tion last Friday on the football field. Opinion as to the value of the pushball contest varies from the most outward praise to downright condemnation. This will furnish the first scrimmage of each year between the freshman and sopho more classes. Sophomores of this year, however, thought the fight just as strenuous as the former flag rushes. * # » Anderson, S. C.—Only 200 of the 500 or more cadets of Clemson col lege, who walked out as a protest against the suspension of R. F. (Dutch) Holohan, president of the senior class, and. certain conditions in the college mess hall, were mis sing from the barracks this morning according to information received here from the school. Many of the striking cadets re turned yesterday and college office ials said they expected most, if not all, to be back in a day or two. Class work was resumed as usual today, with about 750 students at tending chapel out of an enrollment of approximately 1,000. The situation at the school was described as quiet, with students and officials marking time pending consideration of the affair at a meeting of the Board of Trustees Monday night. # • # Oregon Agricultural College.— The O. A. C. school of music is sponsoring little orchestras of four or more talented students, to play for various college functions this year. These students will be en abled to help work their way ^_At the Theatres I THE CASTLE—First day: Jack Hoxie in “The Man from Wyoming,” a rapid-fire ro mance of the western range. Jack Dempsey in "Bring Him In,” another of his “Fight and Win,” knockouts. Castle musical score. Coming—(Monday and Tues day: "Open All Night,” with Adolph Menjou, Viola Dann and Raymond Griffith. HEILIG—Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Buster Keaton in his most pretentious comedy, “The Navigator,” first show ing in the Northwest. Coming—"The Spitfire,” and Marshall Neilan’s "Tees of the D’lTbervilles.” ♦-♦ through college as well as receive valuable musical training. Two dollars an hour will be payed each student for playing. The repertoire 'of the orchestras will consist of selections from the light operas and classics. No “jazz” music will be allowed on the pro gram. Marguerite MacManus, in structor in the school of music, will coach the orchestras. Students in the orchestra played for the College Folk club banquet last week and will play for the Parent Teacher’s association ban quet this week. Louisiana State University.—The distinction of being the only large orchestra in Baton Bouge is held by the Louisiana State University orchestra, which held its first meet ing Tuesday night, September 30, with an attendance of 25 members. The orchestra is expected to be at least twice this size by Christmas. • • * Stanford University.—A system of sponsors has been organized in Roble hall, the dormitory in which all freshmen women must live. Twelve official sponsors, six soror ity members and six residents will live in Boble to assist the incom ing women. Such a system has been found successful in Encina hall, freshmen wemn’s dormitory. Northwestern.— ’Tis said that a college graduate has turned gypsy to prove his generosity theory. “Somewhere in Missouri” a col lege graduate, apparently of sane mind and body, is walking coatless and hatless. The unusual fact about the journey is that he has been walking since November, 1921, when he left San Francisco. This modern gypsy never accepts an of fer of a ride; he asks for nothing but a match and a glass of water. The strange wanderer is Leonard Day, writer and lecturer. In 1921, a publishing firm failed to accept a book which he wrote on the gen erosity' of the American people, be cause they believed that such gener osity did not exist. Now, Mr. Day is saying that it does.

Saturday, OctoBer 25 2:30 p. m.—Whitman vs. Ore gon, Hayward field. Sunday, October 26 3:30 to 5:30 p. m.—Musicale and tea, Y. W. bungalow tropics, is one of the many curios ities grown in the college green houses. The plant acquired its name be cause of its peculiar habits. At night the leaflets all fold together and the common foodstalks bend towards the stem. At sunrise the leaves gradually unfold and recover their usual state. The same thing takes place if they are roughly touched, except that they recover in a short period. In greenhouses the plant is easy to grow from seeds. It lives for many years and grows into a small shrub. | Do You Know That—| (Science Service) P ■ ■ — — ♦ Castor oil, the well known medi cine dreaded by small boys, was found indispensable in airplane lu brication during the World war. * # * Great Britain has $489,000,000 invested in rubber plantations. Hol land has $130,000,000; Japan $40, 000,000; while the United States which uses three-quart,ers of the world’s rubber has only $32,000,000 in plantations. The use of metric measurements in the Olympic games and tryouts is doing more to familiarise the peo ple of the United States with the metric system than any other one thing. Even in England poisonous wood alcohol or methanol is consumed as a beverage so often with result ing blindness that all sold is now being doped with a substance de signed to make it undrinkable. If we could magnify the point of a pin a billion-fold, we-should find that a billion billion molecules could*rest comfortably on this small area. * * # Objectionable tastes in drinking People'elweyi »eoj your hair finl Don’t let unkempt hair spoil your whole appearance!

BIDS TO HOMECOMING SENT TO GRADUATES i Eight thousand posteards, show ing the Homecoming program and inviting gradB to return for the events, are being sent by the alum-! ni association to graduates and adopted alumni. The cards have two cartoons. ’ One shows the grinning grad shak-1 ing hands with his equally grin-; ning former classmate. Under this cartoon is part of the Homecoming slogan: “Home! Hello!” The other idea, “Hit the Huskies!” shows a j football man on the ground, toes j up, the ball in his arms, being |j jumped on by two smiling gridiron j ■men. The cartoons were drawn by!j “Bunk” Short, ’24. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Kappa Oinicron announces the pledging of Dorothy Gay of Oregon ' City. PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS NOW !

M—m—m— That last is because I found at the Style Shop just the Frenchy touch my ! chiffon dress needed. It's a lovely orchid eolor ostrich orna ment, with pastel flowers. They had them in other colors, too, but orchid went best with my dress. While I was there I got an ador able batik handkerchief to go with my dinned dress. These are most unusual, because each hand kerchief is individual in design and they come in many colors. * • * My dear, I wish that you could see my hair. As I have my date with one of Bob’s fraternity brothers tomorrow night, I got a marcel at Hastings Sisters — and they do give such marvel ous' ones. From Tollman’s Studio, I got | the proofs of the pictures I had | taken last week. I | am charmed with all I of them—Peg helped ! me choose thre*f views I which I am going to [ have finished in the new hazy, I flattering way. { Anne, I still have the same old I failing about buying things, re I gardless of whether I need them, j But even you could not hesitate | to buy some of the adorable col | ored linen towels, hand hem | stitched and embroidered, at | Phares’ Baby Shop. They make | ideal gifts. You’ll think that Peg and I have turned florists, when I tell you that we purchased some hya cinth and narcissus bulbs, but oh —it’s great sport growing them in water in one’s room. As the University Florist received a shipment direct from [Holland, we bought our bulbs from them. Besides, we got a darling bowl there that harmonizes with the furnishings of our room. Cider and doughnuts—doesn’t that sound appetizingf Peg and I went out in search of eats for our spread tonight, and we got .the most luseious doughnuts, and the clearest, sweetest cider ; at the Underwood and Elliott Grocery. They were so tempt ing, we simply had to indulge in some as soon as they were de livered. I’m sending Sue a pretty little compact I bought at Skeis. It has an enamel ed top in gay colors and is small enough to carry conven iently in the hand, or tuck away in a pocket without bulg ing. • • At Matlock’s, I bought the newest thing in hosiery—flesh colored '‘under hose.” These snappy fall mornings make one feel the need of something more comfy than chiffon hose; so I got a pair of, Allen-A sheer woolen ‘‘under hose” which are invisible beneath chiffon, and yet give the desired warmth. Send me a letter, Anne, if only ; a wee one. Votre amie d’enfance, CABOL.
