To Rightful Homes One by one, the campus door plates are coming home. 'the Sigma Chi’s, under the direction jjf their house sleuth, sent their best looking men to the Delta Zeta house last Wednesday, and their sign, which had been in the custody of the girls, was returned to its owners. The Delta Zeta plate has not been discovered, al though some well meaning person substituted Charlie's Hot Dog sign on Hallowe’en. The Sigma Beta Phi name plate now graces the Delta Upsi lon mantle in Seattle. It was found Saturday morning; with the Alpha Beta Chi sign, on the front porch of the Sigma Pi Tau house, but was not rescued be fore the vengeful Washingtonians appropriated it. The Susan Camp bell plate, which disappeared the same night, is still very much at large. ‘OLD OREGON’ NEEDS HOMECOMING NOTES News Regarding Alumni Wanted From Houses Jeanette Calkins reports that those she appointed in each living organization to write alumni notes for the November “Old Oregon,” have sent in their notes, taken over Homecoming week-end. The six are: Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Beta Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Al pha Omicron Pi. The list of ap pointees was in Saturday’s Emer ald. Miss Calkins requests that the president of each organization make himself responsible for the gather ing of these notes on their alumni and see that his house is repre sented. Notes must be in at the alumni office in the building back of the administrate,n building by Thursday noon of this week, as all material must be sent to press im mediately. If the president is un able to do the work, he is re quested to appoint someone or call Miss Calkins at 1593, to see whom she appoi^ed originally. Notes may be in any form, the only requirement being that names and classes be given correctly. They may include both alumni who returned for Homecoming and those who did not.

Thacher as being the outstanding hero at Al bion college, Albion, Michigan, when the latter was there in 1901. Coach Maddock played tackle on the team there before going to the University of Michigan. Professor Thacher said the first time he saw Maddock was when he was being , carried otff the field on the shoulders of the students. FACULTY MEMBERS NO LONGER FROLIC TO MODERN JAZZ STRAINS What has become of the Ore gonia club? It is a known fact that last year, and the year before that, the staid and dignified pro fessors of the University, as well as some who were somewhat less dignified, and not staid at all, met on one night during the month for a faculty frolic. The scene of the party was usually in the Woman’s building, and the time, the second Friday in each month. But the Oregonia club has dis appeared. Faculty members no longer dance to the strains of the most modern jazz. This institution, destined to be the playground for weary and frazzled faculty mem bers, has, in plain words, died out, even though it must be that even faculty members do occasionally feel the need of a frolic. Oregon has been cheated. Almost a every reputable institution has a formal “fun” club^ which has made itself famous. Visiting members from other colleges miss this at the University. Even though we are now grown into a big institution, there is no social organization among those who guide our desti nies. They meet only infrequently at a fraternity reception, which cannot at the best be dubbed a frolic. Perhaps our instructors have grown so intellectual that they no longer need recreation, other than that of parsing Latin verbs, carry ing on chemistry experiments, or reading Plato and Arsitotle. But no. It is not so. For already this year, the ears of the Emerald re porter have heard various over worked members of our faculty sigh plaintively and murmur, “Where is the Oregonia clubf” i Figures Given by Registrar Show 27.87 Per Cent are Wholly Self-Supporting 2529 ARE IN UNIVERSITY Only 657 Receive Aid From Outside Sources; Medical School is not Included Mora than one-half of the stu dents on the campus are totally or partially self-supporting, according to figures issued by Carleton E. Spencer, registrar. This includes only those attending school in Eu gene and does not cover totals vfor the medical school. Of the 2529 students in the Uni versity, records show that only 657 or 25.97 per cent of the whole do not support themselves, in part at least. On the other hand, the num ber of those completely self-sup porting is 705, or 27.87 per cent of the student body. In this classifi cation there are 124 freshmen men and 35 women, 107 sophomores men and 31 sophomore women, 90 junior men and 33 junior women and 92 senior men and 52 women. Many Classes Included There are also in the self-support ing group 66 graduates, 25 specials, 21 Eugene Bible University stu dents, three law specials, seven first year law, 16 second year, and two third year law students, and one registered from the Veterans’ bu reau. There are 522 men and 183 women who are completely self-sup porting. One hundred and thirty-eight men, and 56 women, a total of 194, 7.71 per cent of the student body, are from 75 to 99 per cent self-sup porting. The total according to classes are: freshmen, 61; soph omores, 50; juniors, 42; seniors, 24; graduates, 8; specials, 3; E. B. U., 4; first year law, 1; second year law, 1.

DR. WARREN D. SMITH RECEIVES NEW HONOR Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the University of Oregon depart ment of geology, was elected presi dent of the Cordilleran section of the Geological Society of America, according to the result of the re cent election. The honor is a dis tinctive one, as the Cordilleran sec tion includes the geologic society membership in the western half of America. Dr. Smith has held the post of chief of the division of mines of the bureau of science in the Philip pines for two years and is an au thority on the geology of the Pa cifist area.

Women’s League Will Sponsor Tea To Be Given Today The Women’s league will spon sor another tea this afternoon from four to six o’clock, in the sun parlor 'of the Woman’s build ing. All University women are invited to this affair, which is quite informal. Tea will be served and there will be music for those who wish to dance. These teas are generally well attended, and the students seem to enjoy dropping in for a few minutes when they have time for wafers and the hot cup of tea with lemon and sugar in it. Dor is Brophy, who is in charge, hopes that as large a crowd as usual will turn out this afternoon.

S. service, which includes an exchange of news and engraving accommodations. PHI MUM TO GIVE ASSEMBLY PROGRAM The program for the assembly Thursday is to be given under the auspices of Phi Mu Alpha, national mehls music fraternity, most of the participants being known to stu dents through their musical activit ies. The assembly will also intro duce to the campus two new mem bers of the faculty of the school of music, Nathaneale Pench, bari tone, and Wellington Sloane, pian ist. The opening number of the pro gram will be a string quartet. Vari ations will include a violin solo, a piano solo and two vocal solos. Two numbers will feature instrumental combinations—one, a trumpet and trombone duet and the other a trio of piano, violin and trumpet. A marimba solo is also a feature of the program. With the opening of the new mu sic auditorium this winter, it is thought that the scope of musical concerts will be broadened. In this endeavor, Phi Mu Alpha, expects to bring to the campus several of the most famous artists who are to give concerts over the north west. A series of concerts, such as have (Continued on Page Four) Annual Battle Will be Held In Eugene This Year; Both Teams are Strong SQUAD IS IN CONDITION University of Washington Yearlings are Next Foes On Freshman Schedule This is the big week for the Ore gon freshman gridders for they meet the O. A. C. rooks in their regular annual battle here next Saturday. The frosh-rook gamo is always a. hard battle, a*d indica tions point to the fact that it will be even more so this year, as both teams are exceptionally strong. The freshman squad has been de veloping fast and has been pointed j toward this game, and the one with the Washington yearlings at Seattle on the following week. Baz Wil-,| liams has whipped a very likely looking eleven out of his good sized squad of candidates. He has been held up somewhat by injur ies to some of the most promising candidates, but has his team in good condition to make a good showing against the young Aggies. >> Teams are Well Balanced The frosh lost to the rooks at Corvallis last year in a close, hectic contest, 3 to 0. The only score of the game was a goal kick by Schul merich in the closing period of the game. Comparative scores of their games so far this year place the two aggregations about on a par. How ever, the game is here this year, and Baz and his proteges are out to redeem the defeat of last sea son. Mount Angel college was the last one to fall before the Babes this year, whe"h they were defeated 19 to 7 at Mount Angel last Friday. The muddy, sloppy field prevented the frosh from giving any indica (Continued on Poge Four) CONDON ClUB ELECTS SEVEN NEW MEMBERS Five students were elected to ac tive and two to associate member ship in the Condon olub, honorary geology organization, at a meeting of the club yesterday afternoon. The newly elected active mem bers are: Ralph Lupher, Merle Snyder, Rex DeLong, Howard Powers and Eugene Callaghan. As sociate members are: Ann Wood ward and Alton Gabriel. Don Zimmerman, secretary of the club in 1922 and president in 1923 was chosen to fill the office of treasurer since MacMillican' Mc Lean, elected last year, did not re turn to the campus. Plans for the Condon club smok er, held annually by members of the organization, were discussed in detail. November 19 was the date decided upon for the smoker, and it is probable that it will be in Quartz hall, the mineralogy labora tory back of the administration building. RADIO EXPERT TO TALK AT ENGINEERS MEETING At the meeting of the Technical society, which will be held in Deady hall at seven o’clock this evening, Paul R. Hoppe, pro-engineer and radio expert will address the as sembly of pre-engineers and all others who wish to attend, on the opportunities in the field of radio engineering. Mr. Hoppe, as a radio expert, has gained considerable local promin ence and heads the local group of amateur radio enthusiasts. Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the physics depart ment, requests that it be announced, for the benefit of freshmen, that the Technical society is a body of pre-engineers and that all pre engineers are invited to attend meetings, as well as anyone else interested in the talks scheduled. Heads the Greater Oregon Committee r r" Edwin C. Tapfer VETERAN IDAHO TEAM WINS CROSS COUNTRY Oregon Squad Places Third In Conference Run True to predictions the Idaho cross country team composed of six veterans loped in at the head of the pack last Homecoming before tho big game. Washington followed in number of points and Oregon came in third. This is the first time that O. A. C. has not entered the meet. Alibies could be offered for the Oregon defeat but they will not be necessary. The five men running for Oregon were for the most part inexperienced and going up against two strong teams as they did, their ! showing could not be great. The race started with the Idaho men in the load. Following close behind the leaders was the Oregon team. As tho course lengthened they fell behind tho rapid start and came in far behind. Keating and Tetz finished at the lead of tho Oregon men. Jagger, Conley and Martin camo in farther down tho list. The big conference race of the yeai is now over and the men are out training for fall track. The fall work in track is merely a pre liminary for the spring work. Ore- j gon’s distance men will have ob-1 tained some valuable experience and they will be able to make use of it next spring. The dual meet with the Aggies on November 22, was definitely called off. This completes the cross coun try season. TUESDAY, ARMISTICE DAY TO BE UNIVERSITY HOLIDAY Next Tuesday, Armistice day, will be a school holiday, according to an announcement from tho presi dent ’s office. While no classes will be in sessjon during that day, stu dents are asked to remember that classes will meet as usual on Mon day and Wednesday.

Tapfer has been, prominent in campus activities all through college and was chairman of Junior week-end last year. He is a member of the executive coun cil, Bachelordon and Friars. The work of the Greater Oregon committee entails an enormous amount of work, and it will probably be heavier this year than ever be fore.

O. Potter and her husband, Carl N. Homer, have been invested and the j accrued interest devoted to the pur- i chase of books for the Pauline Pot ter Memorial collection. Announce- j ment to this effect was made yes- j terday by M. H. Douglass, Univer- ; sity librarian. The collection was first estab- j lished in her honor by members of j the library staff of the University I and friends, and was placed in the j University library with which she was associated for a number of years, first as a student assistant and later as a regular member of the staff in the cataloguing de partment.
