EDITORIAL
All-Oregon Exposition
The proposed University of Oregon .Fine Arts
building, next on the program of campus con
struction, will be thrown into the focus of pub
lic consciousness next Monday when the All
Oregon 1925 Exposition opens for one week in
the civic auditorium in Portland. The Expo
sition, an elaborate display of Oregon’s art and
industrial products, is being staged for the
benefit of the newly planned Fine Arts struc
ture.
» » » *
Under the able leadership of Mrs. George T.
Gerlinger, regent of the University, more than
10,000 workers over the state and over 200
clubs and organizations have been enlisted to
insure success of the Exposition. If plans of
Exposition directors materialize, $100,000 will
be obtained from this source and from private
gifts; construction of the first wing of the
Fine Arts building, ultimately to cost $300,000
will begin within a year.
# » • *
Because of the love President Campbell held
for all things beautiful, the new structure will j
be dedicated to the memory of the late Execu- |
tive. It is fitting indeed that the memory of
Prince Lucian Campbell should be honored by
a building devoted to the arts and constructed
by the gifts of hundreds of his friends.
y ; # # # *
The enthusiasm; with which the people of
the State are responding to the Exposition is
brilliant proof that fine arts are appreciated
as an essential to a well rounded University.
Patrons of art may well bo happy at the eager
response the Exposition is receiving.
• • » *
As for success of the venture—we can only
be highly optimistic. Mrs. Gerlinger has already
given a world of proof of her ability; the
Woman’s building, coinplotod in 1921, is the
result largely of her efforts. For her unceas
ing work and for the labors of her many co
workers the University will over bo grateful.
A Billion Dollars
Universities nml colleges throughout the
United States are starting building programs

COMMENTS
At Other Colleges
A word from Cornell:
“Last yeqr the regular operations of the
Athletic Association (exclusive of new con
struction) resulted in a deficit of over $20,000.
Without increased support coupled with strict
frugality expenses will have to be curtailed to
a point where the efficiency of teams will be
threatened. The little white button with the
red C shows the wearer is helping and doing
his part.”

It won’t be at all hard for us to sit in our
new grandstand on Hayward at the coming
gam)ss and know that the financial end is being
taken care of by that new five-dollar-a-term
fee.
A new hobby has been brought to light at
Pennsylvania State College where William S.
Hoffman, the registrar, has a collection of 433
different kind® of pocket-size pnat^h b(oxes,
gathered during the past five months. Twenty
five countries are represented in Mr. Hoffman’s
collection.
We have with us still: t v

“The Kansas University Fiery Cross Club
invites all students who are Klansmen to
affiliate. The first meeting will be held
Friday evening, 8:00, at the local Klan
hall. Look for the Fiery Cross.”
—Paid adv. in University Daily Kansan.
A debate team composed of graduate students
from Oxford University is again touring the
United States and Canada, evidently with the
intention of repeating last year’s success. Cor
nell will be the first university in this country
to be visited by the Englishmen when it meets
•them in debate on October 2.
The subject of the debate will be: “Kesolved
that, the principle of self determination- is a
wholesome one.” The debate will be conducted
under the English system of having two Ox
ford men and one Cornell man on the affirma
tive and two Cornollians and one Oxford repre
sentative on the negative. The decision will
be determined us it wTas here last year, that
is, by vote of the audience.
Just ns a reminder that this is only the be
ginning of the term and that the fruits thereof
lie at the end, we have this bit fo news from
the Indiana Daily Student: 223 men and 33
co-eds were denied admittance to the Univer
sity of Indiana this fall on account of failure
last spring to make passing grades in the mini
mum amount of work required by that univer
sity.
Dig in, Frosh.
In general we note (“bigger and bettjDr';”
fresh rutin classes enrolled everywhere. Does it
mean that forty-nine years lieneo the univer
stiy system will break down from sheer num
bers—hordes of the barbarians as it were?

SEVEN SEERS j
Elections Announced
Associate Members of The Seers
Sick Smith Tom Murray
Bob Mautz Miss America j
Lee Luders Will Rogers
The Seven Seers, in secret conference as
sembled, last night tentatively accepted the
above listed candidates as associate members of
the Omnipotent Order. Later on, tasks will be
assigned which must be performed to the satis
faction of the Aln^ighty Assemblage, with a
penalty of ultimate rejection for failure, and the
glorious prospect of full membership as a re
ward of success.
The task of selection proved extremely diffi
cult and fourteen times the black ball, rolled
by the capable hand of one of the Seers toward
the inscribed pins hesitated and deflected its
course—declining to make a choice from .such
poor material. Finally, after invoking the
Powers of the Upper Air and fortifying him
self with a good old Swedish oath, Olaf Darnu
seized the black ball and with a mighty heave
unbalanced four pins, leaving six to shine in
the reflected glory of the Seven Seers.
"7t* has been ascertained by the Seers that the
intelligent black ball, made of the finest teak
wood in Lane county, and seasoned in a lumber
yard next to a brewery, mowed down the four
unfortunate candidates for the following reasons:
Don Marquis, because he won’t bring his
cockroach with him to Oregon and because
be parts his hair in the middle.
Mary Jo Shelley because, on principle,
we disapprove of highbrows coming from
Michigan and telling us how to write poetry.
Again, it is suspected that she copies her
short stories from the Dial.
The Trans-Pacific fliers, because they fail
ed to consult either General Mitchell or the
Seven Seers before undertaking their flight.
Paul Patterson because, although he has
watched, in the capacity of student, the
University grow from a small and unprom
ising institution to one boasting the Seven
Seers, he goes to assemblies.
The results of the election were very unsatis
factory to the Seven Seers, however, as it leaves
one more associate member to select, and that >
is no inconsiderable task with the mediocre >
timber available. However, the Council of the
Mighty is tirelessly watching the doings of the !
world, in the hope of discovering the seeds of a |
greatness promising enough to conform-with the
Seers’ standards of excellence.
This thing of being evolved from smoke— ]
chemical smoke at that, is a most trying busi
ness, and imagine traveling all the way from
Egypt in the narrow confines of a puff of smoke,
in company with Garbo, who is an inveterate ‘
talker, smokes a decrepit corncob, and likes
garlic.
In Egypt I had been pursuing my historical
researches into the reign of Neter-Tua-Phoey,
but my findings were scant and it is impossible
to secure The Oregonian in the distant reaches
of the desert, so I abandoned the project. I did,
however, collect a most choice assortment of
historical chewing gum, some of my specimens,
of a rich mahogany tone, being among the fin
est in the world. I shall place them on exhibit
at the All Oregon Exhibition in the near future.
One of the most interesting specimens in my
collection is Exhibit G, which adorned the lobe
of Cleopatra’s shell-like ear while she was being
wooed by Prince Kabosh. The following ac
count. of that famous occasion is taken from my
book, "Egypt and Cigarettes” (G. P. Nutman’s
Sons. 1924. Illustrated. 673 pp. $9.00):
The Queen received Kabosh in the luxuriously,
appointed throne roont, notable for its frescoed
decorations of the Gump family. Kabosh threw !
himself or. his face upon entering, skinning his j
nose and losing the key to his back door.
“Fair Queen," he said. "I beg, I iynplore, I be-i
seech—good night, let me get up from this floor,
will you. 1 bring you the greatest gift in all •
my kingdom, a gift greater than all the jewels
of Caesar- doggone him—yds, greater egen than |
the Pelman system.”
"leah?” said the gracious Queen, parking her
chewing gum, which had been worked to a
creamy whiteness of the finest texture, behind
her left ear, "what is if?”
"My heart, fair one.”
"Heck, said the Queen,” surveying him
coolly, “you got gravy on your shirt—beheaders, i
front and center.”

As a newcomer. I am very much in favor
of the “Big Sister” plan and am amendable
to suggestions. Applicants please send photos.

Tomorrow this colum)n will report the investi-1
gations and comment of several of the Seers,
and will undoubtedly merit the most scrupulous
perusal.^ Several heads are better than one, just '
as the Seven Seers are better than nnv number
of lawyers.

After tile hurry and tho excite
ment of rush week and the days

land old ncipiaintancear and this
year is proving itself to he

chief interest has been centered on

each group centers its attention
in its own house, from now on
campus affairs of general interest
will hold sway.

tame to college circles is the All

fit for the University of Oregon,
