More than one freshman is look

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

general housework.
Quite a number of students have
men given permanent work in pri

“Oregon, we pledge to thee our

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

ciated Students, greeted the mem

VII. A. A. 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.

Old Graduate Sends Stanzas
To Mr. Howe for Oregon Song
CHESTER WASHBURNE, NOW WELL-KNOWN GEOLOGIST
FROM AUSTRALIA
Memories of old Oregon, still green
in the heart of and old graduate, one
of the boys of twetftv years ago,
aroused the muse in Chester Wash
burne, who, in far Australia, com
posed a song dedicated to his alma
mater.
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.”

To arrive at the rating the grad
ing system is re'versed so that an
hour of 1 counts 5 points; an hour
of II counts 4 points; an hour of
III, 3 points; an hour of IV, 2
points; and an hour of V, 1 point.
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

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.”
