VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1925 NUMBER 3 ANNUAL PARADE AND FROM WILL BE UNIQUE Committee Heads of Affair State That All Is Ready For Traditional Fete Sophomores Will Distribute Posters On Friday Night As Warning to Yearlings More than one freshman is look ing forward with some degree of anxiety to the frosh parade and un derclass mix, preparations for which are almost entirely completed for the opening ceremoneis on Skinner’s Butte at the “O” tomorrow morn ing at 9 o’clock. Sophomores and underclassmen are anticipating an exciting morn ing with a great deal of enjoyment in the realization of the fact that their’s is not the most sternous lot of the lively program. Committees from the junior and sophomore classes have made all ar rangements such as providing im plements of destruction for the mix, and the sophomores have their pad dles detachment ready and waiting for the parade. Arrangements have been made for Hayward field, the paint for the “O” has been purchased, the of ficials for the mix chosen, and those who are to handle the lid crowning climax are prepared. Plans Are formed “Plans are all completed for the annual Frosh parade and underclass j mix,” Arthur Priaulx, who is in charge of arrangements, said yester-1 day. “We expect one of the most. successful events in recent years. Our committees are all working to put this thing over big and show ; everyone that several big events can ake place in one day. Every possible precaution is being taken to see that no accident occurs, and we ask that participating underclassmen; bear this in mind and obey the wishes of the committee. This will be the biggest event of its kind in the history of the Univresity.” ' j Fred West, chairman of the mix, 1 who met with the junior class com mittee Tuesday night, reported favor" able progress. Surprises, he says, are to be one of the features of the mix. Posters Out Saturday Posters will be distributed, as in former years, for the benefit of the freshmen sometime before Saturday j morning. Members of To-Ko-Lo, j which is handling the parade, will wear official badges as directors of the parade Saturday. At the sophomore meeting held in Villard hall yesterday Bob Keeney, 1 in charge of arangements for the bands to take part in Saturday’s parade, stated that, a freshman and sophomore band, besides taking part in the parade, will compete for points during the mix. Babes Hold Practice Freshmen held a yell practice under the direction of Fred Martin, j yell king, at Hayward field yester day afternoon. The practice is ex pected to aid the babes in the mix Saturday for singing and yelling Oregon songs and yells will be a bi feature of the contests and both men and women of the two classes will take part in it. “This combined event, the par ade-mix” said Beniot McCroskey, president of the sophomore class yesterday, “affords the first oppor tunity that the class of 1929 has to make an organized bow to the Oregon campus. We expect that, as has been the case in past years, they will take full advantage of that opportunity. The real pur pose of the event is to give new students their first lesson in orga nizations and the Oregon tradi tions. ” It will not be necessary for the freshmen football squad, according to Spike Leslie, football coach, to participate in either the parade or mix. Leslie requests that every man on the squad report for regular practice Saturday morning. Sixty-Five Register In Horseback Riding Classes This Term Compulsory $10 Gym Fee Causes Decrease About 65 girls, mainly freshmen, have taken advantage of the horse back ridng classes offered in place of gymnasium again this year by the Bangs Biding Academy. The enrolment, which rose to 95 last fall has fallen this year to practically its original size of three years ago. This is due mainly to the fact that the $10 requisite gymnasium) fee must also be paid, according to Abe Bangs, owner of the academy, al though the individual gymnasium classes draw some from his list. The girls will wear chaps this year during the rainy season which will be ait inducement to numbers who in previous years shrunk from the sport .during the winter term. “The fifteen head of horses to be used are in very good shape for the coming season,” said Mr. Boyd, assistant to Mr* Bangs in teaching ing. JANET YOUNG TO PLAY HERE MONDAY EVENING “Pygmalion” To Be Given By Moroni Olsen Players Again student and faculty of the University will have the pleasure of greeting a graduate who is having a most interesting career, and who is achieving a very promising suc cess on the stage—(Miss i Janet Young. Miss Young comes with the Moroni Olsen Players who present “Pygmalion” at the Heilig theater next Monday night, October 5. She plays the part of Liza Doolittle, a London flower girl, who is trained by a scientific teacher into a brill iant and beautiful society woman. But other things happen in the play too. There is jolly Pickering and Shakesperian Doolittle, Liza’s father, who makes one appreciate how much of contemporary fun and laughter the dramatist has created with his “curbstone English” and laughter the dramatist has created ‘commercial millionares”. Do any of us ever understand what we 're doing? If we did, would we ever do it. Will we find ourselves at the end of the gay comedy giving the same answer as Mrs. Higgins and Henry? The Moroni Olsen Players are a circuit repertory company playing in Utah, Montana, Idaho, Washing ton and Oregon \ Last year, their second year they had 30 towns on their circuit—just twice as many as they had the first year. This year they have 50 'towns, including prac tically every university and normal school town in the northwestern states as well as such cities as Tacomp, Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Butte, Boise and Salt Lake City. Every town on their circuit last year is back again this year, and twenty new towns. All of the company are college folk, Miss Young being a member rf Delta Gamma and Moroni Olsen, lirector of the company, is a Sigma Ihi. SEVENTY-FIVE GIRLS AIDED BY Y. W. C. A. The large enrollment of students nid the increase in fees has given he Y. AY. C. A. an oportunity tb aid '5 university women in obtaining jobs. The situations secured include itenographic work, ushering at thea :ers, “hashing” at restaurants and general housework. Quite a number of students have men given permanent work in pri vate homes where they will work ’or their board and room. The towns reople are co-operating with the Y. IV. by offering as many jobs as possible to students in preference :o~ others. Miss Magowan, secretary, wishes 'very girl on the campus to know :hat an effort will be made to help rnyone who desires to work iSHELDON MIKES PLEA FOR LOIN COLLEGE COSTS High Fees Bar to Poorer Student, Hinder Idea 0 f University System Desire To Aid Freshmen Main Concern Advises Malcolm, Student Chief ■ “Oregon, we pledge to thee our honor and fidelity,— ” expressed in song by more than 2500 voices yes terday, impressively opend the ini tial assembly of the college year in the auditorium of the Woman’s building with John Stark Evans, (composer of the words and music of the pledge, directing. Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, chairman of the administrative committee of the University, stressed the impor tance of democracy in the Univer sity and the importance of the Uni versity to democracy. Thomas Jef ferson, founder of the University of Yirinia and father of the higher educational structure of this country, was quoted as urging the university ns necessary in traingnig leaders for the state. This view Dean Shel don approved for the University of Oregon. The speaker noted a tendency in certain quarters to question the value of higher education and to insist that those directly benefiting from it bear the expense themselves. “Every dollar that is added to the fees of the higher educational in stitutions of this state,” he said, “reduces the opportunity for some worthy boy or girl to obtain the education that will develop him and fit him for leadership.” Opportunity For All “.We should give the opplorunity for higher education to all the sops and daughters of this state. While I do not maintain that college and university-trained men are the only ones properly educated, it is true that the exceptions are few, and the general status of a community is determined by the opportunity for higher education.” He placed state universities high in the scale of' democratic influences, and de plored any tendency to make such opportunity exclusive. “This could only lead to the development of a caste system,” he said, “a system which would break down the early ideals of the republic.” Dean Sheldon outlined the oppor tunities presented in this 'Univer sity for the development of scholar ship and of usefulness to the com munity and spoke with optimism of the outlook for the year, both in the classroom and in extra-curri cular activities. He spoke a word of regret for the passing (of the be loved President Campbell, for whom he announced, a memorial service is now being arranged, and will be held soon. Malcolm Outlines Plans Introduced by Dean John Straub, who presided at the assembly, Wal ter Malcolm, president of the Asso ciated Students, greeted the mem bers of the faculty and student body with a short address of welcome after which he spoke on “The Com ing Year,” pointing out the hopes (Continued on page four) ---O UNIVERSITY VESPERS PROGRAM FOR SUNDAY 4:30 O’clock Sunday, October Program Organ.

ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM IN ATHLETICS Sports Will Be Organized On Class Basis To Better Voluntary Competition Committee Women Named T o Urge Participation Of All Campus Houses All women’s competitive sports will be conducted on a class basis, teams being composed of voluntary competitors, it was explained last night at a mass meeting of the Women’s Athletic association held in the Woman’s building. Janet Wood, president of the association, praised the new system which is to be tried out soon in swimming and volleyball. “Now there will be no more forc ing of members into a sport for the sake of making up a house team”, she declared. “This plan will allow a longer time for practices, and some real coaching can be done. W. A. A. wants all girls to come out for sports even though at present they know nothing of the game, and this plan will bring them out.” Aspirants To Be Graded This method for creating competi tive teams insures every aspirant of a place on a team. The best athletes will be placed on first teams. Other competitors will be graded into second, third and fourth teams, according to the number of competitors. All teams will be or ganized on a class basis. In case there should be a few remaining competitors in each class insuffi cient in numbers to compose a new team, these girls will be organized into color teams in which class standing will be disregarded. Members of all teams shall receive generous points, those on the first team receiving the highest number. This plan does not allow for substi tute teams, but when a substitute is required, she shall be drawn from, the next lowest team, and shall re ceive extra credits for her substitu tion work. The department of physical education encourages sports by granting so many points for each team an athlete makes providing certain rules are observed. When a woman has amassed 500 points she is entitled to a small green felt “O”. When she has earn ed 1,000 points she is presented with a University sweater. A new point system will have to be devised for the competitive sys tem, and the committee working on this will have the ratings ready in .a few days. The new plan will be administer ed by the heads of sports, the elass managers and coaches for the sports. Swimming and, volleyball will be open for voluntary competi tion Monday and ,Tufesday. ) The coaching schedule will be so arrang ed that aspirants may enter botli sports.

Mr. Washburne, of the class of '05, is now a prominent geologist of New York City. While he was on the campus he not only studied the sciences but courses in literature under Professor H. C. Howe, who recently received the poem en titled—“Oregon, We Come To Thee” 1. Oregon we come to thee, Our beloved Varsity, Singing of our student days, Bringing thee our love and praise. Befrain: Bays of yore, for us no more, But forever we adore Oregon, our Oregon. Oregon, our Oregon. 2. Sweetest days of memory Are the days we spent with thee, On the campus, on the Butte, On the mill-race, down the chute. 3. Friendships founded in your halls Go beyond the Nation’s walls, And forever will they last, Precious heirlooms of the past. 4. Noble deeds and follies too, Which we hailed with great ado, Dimmer grow with passing time, Yet thy memory is sublime. 5. Though your sons and daughters fair Now are scattered everywhere, , Yet to thee they oft return | And their loyalty affirm, j Repeat first stanza. The letter which accompanied the poem reveals the nature of the writer who says, “ * A eloud of nats doth him molest,’ You see you did not succeed in keeping me always asleep when you so pleasantly in toned the Faerie Queen to my class. The pentameter you tried to teach me is not wholly forgotten, nor the rhyme schemes of Spenser and Shakespeare. Sometimes I amuse myself making sonnets therewith which would disturb the bones of these bards, if they had to read the stuff. “If you feel like doing sto, you could greatly improve the enclosed song by adding stanzas,—I care not what is done with the song, except that it be made into something worth singing. “It is rather nice to be writing to you after so many years. I can still hear your smoothly sonorous voice, as you read the Faerie Queen. If you snore in your sleep, it must be a musical snore, such as puts babies to sleep. I li/opc to see you this comng winter when I visit my brother, Carl, in Eugene. My family is spending the year in southern France, while I go around the world through regions too hard for them to travel through.” DELTA GAMMA HEADS LIST IN HOUSE GRADES Thetas, Alpha Chi Omegas Are Next In Rating Delta Gamma headed the houses in grades for last spring term with a rating of 49.18.

In other words, the number of points given to a credit hour is al ways equal to six minus the grade. Hence, rating equals the average number of hours passed per mem ber multiplied by (six minus aver age grade). COMPLETE DIRECTORY OF ALUMNI PRINTED Magazine Is First Since 1913; Has 5000 Names After seven months of work, the first alumni directory since 1913 has been issued.

VARSITY FIGHTS III FIRST HEAL MIA OF SEASON Good Football Shown By Squad In Hard Tussle; Listlessness Banned Backs Become Smashing Pifedrivers As Line Opens “Wagon Holes" By Web Jones Fight was the order of the day in the first real hard scrimmage of the year. The scrap of the teams during the middle of the week mix was a startling exhibition of foot ball compared with the listless practice at the first of the week when the rain dampened the field and the workout of the team. The team, that started the work ] out was the probable varsity which goes against Multnomah elub next Saturday: Bob Mautz and Ike Rey nolds, ends; Bert Kerns and Bert Gooding, tackles; Hal Harden and Gene Shields, guards, Carl Johnson, center; Louie Anderson, quarter; George Mimnaugh and Beryl Hod gen, halves and Lynn Jones, full. The heavy backfield, Wetzel, Jones and Hlodgen, took the ball time after time Wednesday night, and, through the wide holes rip ped in the line by the forwards, made from five to ten yards a down. * It was a smashing, driving line of backs that exhibted more form than ever before this year. Entire Squad Scrimmages Practically the entdro varsity squad got into the regular scrim mage. It was experience it was pointed out, that the coaching staff is trying to give every men who has a chance. Men were shifted from second team to varsity and back again with rapidity throughout the practice. Dwight Hedges, Ike Reynolds, Ed Grant and Sherm Smith alternated at ends. Harold Mangum, Ed WaT ren, Homer Dixon, and Bert Soco lofsky, Harry Leavitt and Joe Peek got in for a while as guards. Nick Carter showed up well at center. In the backfield Otto Vitus and •George Mimnaugh substituted. injured last wows The injured list of veterans grew with the addition of A1 Sinclair Wednesday night, who was unable to work last night on account of an injured ankle. Big Vic Wezel, slated to begin the game tomorrow, has a bad charlio horse that elimi nates him for a few days. Ken Bailey and Jack Bliss are both out with injured legs. Sherm Smith lias a strained ligament which will keep him out of the game also. The list of cripples forced the coaches to change the line up. George Mimnaugh will relieve Wet zel at half. Bert Gooding will take Sinclair’s place at tackle and Ike Reynolds will relieve Grant at end. The workout yesterday afternon was watched by L. H. Gregory, sports editor of The Oregonain who finished his annual fall tour of the | colleges in the Pacific Northwest I here. | ‘‘Football teams in the ntorthwest | are stronger than last year,” Mr. [Gregory said. “All of them are going to be tough. Idaho lias a 'confident, cocky teanu They will Ibe dangerous. W. S. C. should have a strong team with the fine material | they have, while Washington lias a i powerful backfield but a new line i from end to end. O. A. 0. is getting [more precision into the huddle sys tem, and will be a tough opponent.” MEDICAL FRATERNITY ANNOUNCES PLEDGINGS Alpha Kappa Kappa, medical fra ternity of the University of Oregon Medical school, Portland, anounees the pledging of the following: O.
