FRO PARADE
AND MIX TO IE
ONE BIG EVENT
Student Council Votes To
Cram Full Action Into
Four Hours of Saturday
Early Opportunity Given to
Imbue New Classes With
Spirit of Old Oregon
A combination of the annual
frosh parade and underclass mix
next Saturday morning is a result
of the student council’s action
taken Friday September 25. The
parade will start ■with an assembly
of the class of 1929 at the “O”
on Skinner’s Butte at 9 o’clock.
The mix will be held on Hayward
field immediately after the parade.
With these two great freshman
events to be held together, next
Saturday looms as one of the most
exciting times of the year both
for the Frosh, who are the victims,
and the members of the other
classes, who are witnesses, of the
demonstration.
While neither the parade nor the
mix will take as long as formerly,
it is planned by the junior and
sophomore committees in charge to
condense the program into the
limited time so that there will be
as much action in four hlours as
there has been formerly in twice
the time.
Mix Committee Named
Fred West, appointed by James
Johnson to act as chairman of the
junior class committee in charge
of the mix, has selected A1 Wester
gren, Carl Johnson, George Mim
naugh, Bob Love, Bob Neighbor,
Bud Christanson, Bex Adolph,
Proctor Flannagan and Joe Price,
to handle all arangements.
Sophomores, headed by Arthur
Priaulx as chairman and Jack
Hempstead, Bob Keeney, Fred Joy,
Bill Pendergast, Calder McCall,
Howard Dilg and John Sherman,
have charge of arrangements for the
frosh parade preceding the mix. To
Ko-Lo, men’s'•sophomore honorary
society, met last night at the Col
lege Side Inn to perfect the organi
zation of the parade as it has done
in former years.
Dean Walker Helps
Dean Walker, freshman class ad
viser, is also assisting in the work
of putting over the big combined
event. Mr. Walker was a member
of the committee which, headed by
the late President Campbell, helped
originate the first underclass mix
years ago. Since then, both the mix
and parade have become traditonal
annual features of underclass acti
vities.
“There are two or three angles
tb the new program” said Dean

ORCHESTRA TRYOUTS
WILL BE HELD FRIDAY
Students desiring to try out for
the University orchestra will be
given an opportunity to demonstrate
their ability Friday afternoon at
5, and Saturday morning from 10

Expert training in orchestral!
work is offered under Mr. Under-!
wood, who is a member of the fa-1
cultv of the school of music, and (
who has directed the orchestra for ]
the past few years. It is expected
that there will be a large number [
trying for positions, and with the ]
return of many of last year’s mem-|
bers, the year should be very sue-1
cessful. Several concerts are being ,
planned, and a trip for the last part
of the year is anticipated.

High Scoring Men Make 88
Records Show Yearly
Falling Off Since 1921
Joo C. Brown, of Kedmond, and
Laselle Coles, of Haines, tied for
high-point honors in the recent phy
sical ability tests with 88 points
each. Arthur Ord, of Nampa, Ida
ho was close behind with 87. The
high mark was far below that of
last year, when Yic Wetzel scored
103 points, and still farther .be
low the freshman record of 119,
made by Eugene Bichmond in 1922.
The school record is held by Had
don Bockhey with 131 points, made
in 1921. Balph Spearlow, ex-var
sity and Olympic pole vaulter, made
136 points, but this record does not
stand because he did not take the
swim.
Other Scores Low
The other freshman marks of this
year are considerably below last
year’s scores. No record was
equaled or broken. Of the total of
255 entrants in the competition, 87,
or nearly one-third, failed. One
hundred and sixty-eight passed and
are eligible to participate in any
form of supervised athletics spon
sored by the University.
Dwight Kircher made the two-lap
run in 23 seconds flat—eight
tenths of a second behind the re
cord held by Gilbert Hermance
Edward Finley made the best time
in tha swim—with one minute, nine
seconds, holds the record. Arthur
Ord came within six-tenths of a
second of the record held by Alvin
Hills, by climbing the rope in nine
seconds. Balph Spearow holds the
high jump record with a niche of
six feet, and Donald Woodward is
premier bar vaulter with a height
of six feet, 10 inches.

CHANCED LINEUP
TO EICE WINCED
¥ SATURDAY
First Game of Season Will
Find Many Second String
Men Replacing Veterans
Absence of Pep and Fight
In Recent Scrimmages
Attributed to Wet Field
The ranks of the Oregon varsity
will lack some^of the familiar faces
next Saturday when Oregon 'meets
Multnfomah and it is probable that
a half dozen lettermen will warm
the bench. This year’s squad starts
off with a startling shakeup in the
lineup-for the reason that the sec
ond stringers are doing better wtork
than the lettermen in most cases.
The team which was announced
to start the game after'last night’s
and Monday night’s scrimmage will
have Louie Anderson as pilot, Lynn
Jones as full back, Fred Harrison,
and Vic Wetzel halves with Beryl
Hodgens alternating and probably
starting the game.
Scrubs Hold Varsity
The line will have Captain Bob
Mautz at right end. Ed Grant,
formerly of Gonzago at the other
side of the line. Gene Shields and
Harold Harden will handle the
guard positions. Bert Kerns, \1
Sinclair and Bert Gooding will get
the call for tackles and Carl John
son will play at center.
Last night the varsity piounded
the scrubs with no gain. The first
rain of the year made the field
soggy and the practice was listless.
The men lacked the punch and
drive which the coaches have been
trying to put into them. Not only
did it dampen the temporary prac
tice, but it puts a damper on
the high prospects for the season.
Shakeup New Policy
This startling shakeup is entirely
consistent with the new ptoliey of
the coaching staff. There will be
no regular varsity team. From
week to week the team will be picked
just before the game at the regular
scrimmage on Wednesday. These
men will be put thru the prelimi
nary work for the game and started
in it.
Just now at the beginning of the
third week of practice it is^evident
that a lot of work has to be put
in on the varsity to round it into
a perfected scoring machine. Dick
Smith, head coach, has a big job
on his hands and he needs support.
Coaches Stress Fundamentals
Baz Williams, starting his first
year as varsity line coach, is work
ing wonders with the line in ground
ing them in the proper fundamen
tals. Bill Beinhart is getting the
backfield organized on their func
tions, in fundamental practice the
men are doing fine but they lack
the drive and the fight to put spirit
into the squad.
Last night the team which will
be entered against Multnomah
scrimmaged for a half hour in the
pouring raan against a second team
made up of Pete Motschenbacker,
full back, Arnie Kiminki and Eino
Puusti, halves and Parley Stoddard
quarter; a line made up of Nick
Carter center; Walt Socolfcfsky
and Harry Leavitt, guards, Ed War
ran and H. Mangum, tackles.
Odd Specimens
Of Aquatic Life
Biologists’ Quest
Exhibits To Be Shown
During School Year
Up at four / to beat the tide;
tramping about the beach all day
in pursuit of queer-looking crea
tures; assembling at night to dis
cuss the fruits of the chase—this
was the daily program of thirteen
weeks at Sunset Bay near Marsh
field, under the supervision of Dr.
H. B. Yocom, acting head of the
biology department, last summer.
About 225 different specimens of
every kind of sea animals were col
lected and identified.
The party carried on part of its
work at South Slough, about three
miles from camp. Most of the
edible varieties of crabs were ob
tained there.
While this summer’s camp was
a new experiment for the biologists,
it proved so successful and so en
joyable thajj it will probably be
an annual affair. The specimens
obtained will, be on display later
in the year.
BIG SISTER MOVEMENT
AIDS FRESHMAN GIRLS
Women’s League Sponsors
Event During Year
The Big Sister movement which
is being forwarded on the Oregon
campus for the first tiifle this fall
has so far proved itself to be a
good thing, according to Dean Es
terly and other authorities interest
ed in the welfare of the University
women. j
The purpose of this enterprise,
which is being carried on as an1
activity of Woman’s League, is that
each girl have, during her fresh
man year, an upper classwoman
adviser, or “big sister,” to whom
she may turn for advice or help
of any kind. The work is carried
on under the leadership of a chair
man appointed by the president of
Women’s League. Immediately
under the chairman are ten captains,
and under each captin are ten lieu
tenants. The latter are the Big
Sisters, and ujion them depends
much of the success of the move
ment. The organization consists
altogether of more than one hun
dred upper-class women.
Movement Promotes Democracy
The idea of Big Sisters for fresh
men girls was really started in a
small way last year. A week or two
after school started a Big Sister
tea was given in the Women’s
building, to which every upper-class
woman took a freshman girl. How
ever, the affair ended with that,
This year the Big Sister movement
is to extend throughout the whole
year.
BIG EMERALD MEETING
PLANNED FOR FRIDAY
All students aspiring to positions
on the Emerald staff would do well
to attend the meeting of the staff
that will be held at 5 o’clock Fri
day afternoon in room 105 on the
second floor of the Journalism
building. Members of the faculty
and editors of the paper will speak.
Plans for the year will be discussed.
Staff appointments will be made in
about two weeks.
ANNOUNCING
THE SEVEN SEERS
TO APPEAR FREQUENTLY AS
AN EDITORIAL FEATURE IN
THE OREGON DAILY EMERALD
ON the evening of Thursday, September 26th, there occured in the
East Tower of Deady Hall, an explosion. When the smoke, which
was of strange colour, had cleared, Seven Sers were seen grouped
about a council table. Where they came from, no one knows. Where
they are going, no one knows. But for a time—possibly short, possi
bly long, they are to make a report of their proceedings and opinions !
in a column of the Emerald.
These men, even though they never wear long white robes, and
ponderous beards, and strange hats, are fair minded; and they will
appreciate contribution from campus folks.
WATCH FOR THE ELECTIONS
Compilation of Figures At
Registrar’s Office Shows
Large Increase
Departments In University
Filled To Capacity; New
Class Sections Planned
The largest enrollment of new stu
dents in the history of the University
is indicated by the latest figures
obtainable from the office of Carl
ton Spencer, registar of the Univer
sity of Oregon. Nearly every de
partment in school is experiencing
difficulty handling the increased
numbers that are signing for their
courses.
The total registration of new stu
dents at a late hour last night was
1077 as compared with 935 on the
same day last year. This is an in
crease of some 124 over last year’s
enrollment and it will undobtedly
be materially increased by the end
of the week when it is expected
the bulk of the students for this
term will have signed up.
List Includes Freshmen
Of this total of new students about
seven -eighths are ■ freshman. The
number of new students includes
transfers from other schiools
throughout the country as well as a
liberal number from outside states
who have never attended any school'
before. The total of new and old
students registered will not be com
piled until later in the week but
from all reports it will show a large
increase over last year, which was
a record year.
Never in the history of the Uni
versity have conditions been so
crowded in class rooms. The classes
in the school of liberal arts are
giving the University authorities
more trouble than in any oth«r
school in arranging for extra sec
tions and extra instructors to care
for these sections.
FORMER PRESIDENT
STUDIES AT COLUMBIA
John MacGregor, former president
of the associated students, who is
studying law at Columbia univer
sity, makes his home at the Inter
national House for foreign students,
according to a letter received from
him recently by Mrs. Anne Lands
bury Beck of the school of music.
Less than one-fourth of those living
in the House are Americans, Mac
Gregor wrote. Francis Taylor, Uni
versity of Oregon graduate, who has
been at the Columbia law school for
a year, is his roommate.
MacGregor left Eugene about Sep
tember 5 for Los Angeles, where he
remained three days. He visited in
Long Beach with Mrs. W. L. Mac
Knight, sister of Mrs. Beck and of
John J. Landsbury, dean of the
school of music, and from there went
to New York.
Besides being student body presi
dent in his senior year, MacGregor
has been president of the Crafts
men ’s Club, campus Masonic organi
zation, sinee its establishment, re
signing his office this year to con
tinue his studies in the East. He is
a member of Alpha Tau Omega fra
ternity; Friars, Alpha Kappa Psi,
commerce fraternity; and Phi Delta
Phi, law frrternity.
Since his graduation two years ago,
MacGregor has been studying law in
the University of Oregon school. He
plans to be graduated from the Co
lumbia school of law next June.
<■>---- ^
All former glee club members
are asked to report back of the
stage in the Woman’s building
at the regular assembly hour on
Thursday.
The combined glee clubs, will
sing the “Oregon Pledge Song,”
as has been the custom since
1919. at the opening assembly.
Frosh Bibles Out
Extra Copies Are
At Friendly Hall
Hello books were distributed to
the freshmen at their assembly yes
terday afternoon. These books con
tain information designed to help
familiarizing the new students with
the campus and activities. More
were prnited this year than last
to accomodate a larger class. Addi
tional copies will be on hand at
Jack Benefiel’s office in Friendly
hall.
WOMEN’S SPORTS TO BE
ON COLOR TEAM PLAN
Swimming /and Volleyball
Open Monday
A women’s volunteer sports com
mittee will handle the color team
plan for competition in women’s
sports this year. This plan was
adopted as the result of a counsel
meeting held Monday evening at
which Janet Woods, president of
W. A. A., Elizabeth Launsbury,
head of swimming, and instructors
in physical education were present.
This committee will be composed
of representatives from . all living
organizations on the campus. The
members will disseminate informa
tion concerning the new competi
tive scheme, and will encourage
women on the campus to enter into
competitive sports.
The fall sports, volley hall and
swimming; will he open to volun
tary (Competitors Monday. All
sports are to be on a class lhasis.
There will be no more competition
between houses, but voluntary com
petitors will be placed on color
teams by class managers. These
teams, composed exclusively of
members of the freshmen, sopho
more, junior or senior classes, will
compete among themselves, and
then with teams of the other classes.
Although there will be no maxi
mum number of teams a class may
put out for a given sport, a mini
mum number of teams will be set
as soon as the new plan is under
way.
This new plan puts all competition
on an individual basis. All affilia
tions will be disregarded. This
plan was adopted by a majority
vote of the W. A. A. last spring
when the problem of competing
with houses which had exceptional
athletes became acute. Certain living
organizations had acquired ofrack
teams, and by their unfailing good
fortune in winning meets were dis
couraging all competition. W. A. A.
and the faculty of physical educa
tion took the matter in hand. It
was finally decided to substitute
for interhouse competition, volun
tary competition.
FORENSIC PROSPECTS
BRIGHT, SAYS COACH
Forensic prospects, with virtually
all of last year’s varsity debaters
on the campus, point to a success
ful season, according to J. Stanley
Gray, new head of the public speak
ing department.
A different men’s squad will de
bate each question, giving eight
men an opportunity to debate in
stead of four. The women’s team
will probably use the same question
throughout the season. The only
change in schedule is the possible
substitution of a women’s triangu
lar debate with Washington (and
Idaho for the usual Oregon-Wash
ington contest.
The first varsity event will be
the Pacific Coast extempore speak
ing contest to be held in Novem
ber at Pullman, Wash.
J. Stanley Gray has come to the
University after two years as
instructor in public speaking and
debate coach at Gustavus Adolphui
college in Minnesota, and one year
at the University of Minnesota.
Robert D. Horn, also a new member
of the public speaking department,
was an instructor at the University
of Michigan for two years.

fraternity entered a petition to
Delta Kappa Epsilon immediately,
and has been actively engaged in
furthering its petitoin ever since
that time.
Alpha Eta Delta chapter of Chi
Psi was granted in 1921 to the Es
meralda club which had been found
ed two years previously.
Chi Psi, founded in 1841, at Union
College, Schenectady, N. Y., is one
of the oldest national' college
fraternities, and 'is known as
an eastern conservative fraterni

PRESBYTERIANS HAVE
NEW CAMPUS HOME
Westminster House, new manse of
Rev. Bruce J. Griffen, Presbyterian
University pastor, situated at 14th
avenue and Kincaid street, complet
ed during the summer months at a
cost of nearly $25,000, is the first
structure of its kind on the Pacific
coast. The Houbo is headquarters
for the Work done on the campus by
the Presbyterian church, rated as the
largest religious organization at the
University. Westminster House is
the only building of this nature in
the states owned by the Presbyterian
church.
F. Manson White, Portland archi
tect, designed the House, a rambling
structure in which the English cot
tage style is naturally carried out
with the use of stucco and shingles,
in cream and a rich brtown color
scheme.
