In the past few years the Uni versity has been acquiring an ad mirable collection of art through donations and bequests from peo ple interested in the furthering of art in the University and subse quently, in the state of Oregon. Building New Art Home The Murray Warner collection of Oriental art which has been grow ing with delightful rapidity year by year is one of the chief reasons for the building of a museum. The last collection bought by Mrs. Warner has necessarily been stored in waiting for a suitable place for display to be built. Many Make Gifts More than $7,000 in cash and good pledges, besides the promise of several substantial bequests, has been the result of an initial effort. The present campaign is expected to carry the total well up toward the $300,000 mark which wall be required for the building of a fire proof structure, The booths are being furnished by gifts from Oregon Alumni, stu dents and others interested in the building up of a cultural art center in the state. Several works of art valued very highly have been do nated by representatives tof the fine arts department in the Uni versity. , J New Drive. Next Year Another campaign, probably sim ilar to the present one will be put on next year for the purpose of promoting the building fund. The whole idea has been largely that of Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, secretary of the drive and member of the University Board of regents. OREGON CLUBS PLAN DANCE FOR STUDENTS An informal, no-date dance for all students not in living organiza tions will be held in the woman’s building Saturday night from 8:00 until 11:30. The affair is being sponsored by the Oregon Clubs who* are planning to entertain at least 200 people. This is the first big no-date dance of the year and according to the committee an effort is being made to make it a success. Excellent mu sic has been secured, and refresh ments will be served.

Patrons and patronesses for the evening are: Dean and Mrs. Shel don; Dean Virginia Judy Esterly; Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Fish; Miss Gsgtrude Talbot iwid Miss Mc CAnant. DEMOLAYS TO DISCUSS FUTURE PLANS TODAY A meeting of members oi the Order of DeMolav who are attend ing the University will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4:15 at the Craftsman Club, it has been an nounced by Mark Taylor, Master Councilor of the local chapter of the order, and a sophomore in the University. Professor Dunn, of the University faculty, and Joe Frazer, student, will speak at the meeting. Plans for activities to be promoted by the campus members in co-opera tion with the local chapter of the Order will be discussed. Big Bleacher Rally To Be at 5 O’clock Today Says Martin At five o ’clock this after noon, the student grid fan will see on Hayward field the var sity football men preparing for the crucial Idaho game Satur day. If he should walk toward the grandstand he will be forced to ^contribute, himself to the preparation for the Idaho battle. A bleacher rally will be in progress. Starting at five P. M. says Freddie Martin, yell king, there will be a half hour* of yell practice for all students who can possibly make the supreme effort” necessary to reach the grandstand at Hayward field. It is especially necessary that freshmen come out if possible. The “bleacher rallies” as these yell practices at the foot ball field are called, are a great factor in determining the type of yelling delivered at the con tests. Much depends on the sup port given rallies such as the one this afternoon. The event: a bleacher rally. The place: Hayward Field grandstand. The time: (five P. M. today. “Be there,” says Martin. E MANY CHANCES MAD IN R. 0. T. G. COURSES Thirty Two New Students Enrolled This Term , <* • - The R. O. T. C. work this term is starting off successfully, accord ing to Captain Frank R. Culin, of the R. O. T. C. department. In cutting down expenses, the war de partment has made several changes in the instruction of the cadets. In order to meet this new plan the R. O. T. C. department has had to change its courses. Certain sub jects that were taught in the sopho more year are now part of the freshman course, and many sub jects formerly taught in the basic course are now in the advanced course. The subjects are given far more time this year. For instance the course of instruction in the use of the machine gun, which last year required only 24 hours now requires 54.' There is a considerable number of student officers this year. Twen ty-three of last year’s juniors are following up the work and thirty two new officers are enrolled. Only one definite appointment has been made so far this term and that was the appointment of Walter Mal colm to the rank of Cadet Lieu tenant-Colonel, on September twen ty-ninth. Captain Culin states that any further appointments will be deferred until the winter term. The inspection by United States Army officers of the R. O. T. C. branch here for special rating will take place sometime in the spring term, probably in April. In regard to this Captain Culin says, “regard less of the class of instruction of fered here by the officers of the E. O. T. C., the honor of receiving this rating lies in the hands of the military students. It is through their attention or inattention that we will win or lose this high honor.” Sergeant Powers, in charge of the E. O. T. C. supply department, stated that nineteen .22 caliber U. S. army gallery rifles, model of 1922, were on the way from the Springfield, Massachusetts arsenal. This rifle is of the same type that was sent here for inspection last year and will be used to equip the rifle team. SENIORS MUST FILE CARDS The Registrar’s office requests that all seniors transferring from other institutions call at the office at once and fill out a card apply ing for a degree if they intend to be graduated from the University this year, either in January or June, the seniors on the campus as jun iors last year were supposed to file this card last spring. REX UNDERWOOD HONORED DURING STAY INI FRINGE Campus Violin Instructor Passes Virtuoso Test And Receives Diploma Noted Musicians Conduct Examination; Applicant Is Highly Recommended Rex Underwood, professor of vio lin in the school of music, was awarded one of the world’s great est musical honors at F<gitainebleau, France, during the past summer, when he was granted a diploma for passing the virtuoso test before mu sicians of international fame. The virtuoso test corresponds with the examinations given at the Paris conservatory of music, differing in that one must be very highly rec ommended before he is allowed to take the examination. As far as it has been possible to ascertain, there has been only one other person who successfully passed the test for the violin. Only One Takes Test Of a class of 25 which studied the violin during the summer ses sion of the school, professor Under wood was the only one to receive a recommendation permitting him to take the test. The committee before which the test was taken included some of the world’s .greatest figures in :music today. Anton Heckking, cellist, Tsador Phillips, head pianist of the I school, Professor Bemy, principal ] violin teacher and member of the conservatory, and Widor, interna ! tionally famous organist were some i of the principal examiners. Criticism is Strict The m.ethod of giving the test consists of assigniirg the candidate certain numbers which he is to play before the assembled board of ex aminers. They are very strict in their critieism, and in order to pass, the musician piust very closely ap proach perfection, according to campus authorities who were in Europe during the summer with Mr/ Underwood. The numbers played by Professor Underwood were the “Symphony Espagnole”j and the “Vivaldi Concerto in A i Minor.” “I should have been very ner vous,” Professor Underwood stated, “but we were leaving that morn ing, and the board gave the exami nation very early, and I was so sleepy that I hardly knew what I played.” STUDENT DIRECTORY WORK BADLY DELAYED i _ ! ; Work on the student directory, which is due off the press in about three ifeelcs, is being held up no ticeably by the slowness of some students in turning in their Eugene addresses. These changes of ad dresses should be filed with the registrar’s office immediately to in sure all the names being printed in the directory.

Special stress is placed upon the two last-named features, for the chief purpose of these social “get-togethers” for women is to acquaint new students with those who are already familar with the campus. The Big Sister committee of Women’s League will be func tioning and little sisters will be escorted to the teas by their big sisters. Freshmen women, for whom, these affairs are arranged, are urged to take advantage of this opportunity. OLONEL FRANK DAY TO SPEAK AT ASSEMBLY Seating Space Increased to Accommodate Students • In anticipation of an exception ally large attendance to heftr Col onel Frank P. Day, noted Eastern educator, who will speak ati the assembly Thursday, ihe seating ca pacity of the auditorium *of the Woman’s building has been in creased.

INVITATION TO DRAMA CONFERENCE EXTENDED A call has been issued to all Am erican institutions which teach dra matics, acting and playwriting, to attend a conference in Pittsburgh, Xovember 27 and 28. Thomas S. Baker, President of the Carnegie Institute, which for eleven years has been, noted for its department in dramatics, has issued the invita tion hoping that students and pro fessors will take a profound inter est in this new attempt to interest the public in finer and better drama. There are 900 community and little theaters in the United States, besides the theaters in the univer sities and colleges, showing that there is already a wide spread in terest growing up among the Am erican people. Ray Moeser, Senior, Will Supervise Entire Staff j of Major, Minor Teams System is Declared Much Fairer Than in Former Years; Frosh Get Chance The new athletic managerial sys tem which was provided by an amendment to the constitution of the Associated Students wall be in augurated this year under the head of Ray Moeser, senior athletic man ager. He will have under his sup ervision the entire managerial staff of the four major sports and the minor sports. The system makes it possible for a freshman to begin work in his first year and by the timo he is a senior have a good chance to be come manager of his chosen sport. This is much fairer and more sys tematic than the haphazard meth ods used in the past. Now the rank of a manager will depend upon his service and reliability. Freshmen Begin Work A form letter was sent tout to all men’s living organizations by Hr. Moeser to inform them of the new system and to solicit their aid in getting freshmen out for the jobs. He has received a half score of replies and only a few{,positions are now open.** Already a number of freshmen have begun work for the year. “It’s a year around proposition,” said Mr. Moeser. “The men will be chosen solely on service and re liability. When the staff calls on a man and he can be relied upon when we want him, he is the man Who* will be promoted first. It is a civil service process.” Position Carries Distinction The position of manager of a sport carries with it no little dis tinction for the man who reaches it. He is given a varsity sweater with the letter the size of the sport which he managed with a small “m” in the center. Each major sptorts manager has under him a group of upper class assist ants who in turn have la group of sophomores under them to assist with the working of the freshmen. This insures a steady flow of ex perienced managers from year to year. As soon as one man is pro moted, another is ready and cap able of taking his place. A probable list of managers to be changed from time to time has been ' selected for the year, lows: The list fol- - bemor student manager, Ray Moe-! ser; football manager, Dick Lyman; : first assistant, Dave Adolph; field manager, Paul Sletton; advertising manager, Stewart Ball; gridgraph manager, Frank German and soph omore assistants, Bob Henningson, j Emberson Wright, Calder McGall and Harold Brumfield. w Frosh football manager, Don Gridlev; assistants, Humboldt Greig and Carol Williams. Basketball manager, Robert Neighbors or Paul Stetten; assist ants, Stewart Ball and 'Ed Lynn. Baseball manager, Jean Cros thwaite or Paul Sletton;" assistants, Humboldt Greigh, Harold Brum field, Frank German and = Paul Clark. Minor sports, James Johnson, probably; assistants, Robert Warn er and Bus Revis. STUDENTS WEAR SLICKERS The prominence of the slicker typo of raincoat now seen in the University is shared in the Univer sity high. This fact was envinced when a visitor yesterday counted 19, or approximately one third of the 54 coats hanging in the main hallway to be gay-eolored slickers. I John Stark Evans To Appear In Out Of Town Recitals, John Stark Evans, associate dean of the school of music, has been engaged to give several out of town recitals during the next few months. The first of these will be in conjunction with the “All Oregon 1925 Ex position*’ in Portland next Sat urday morning, at the Munici pal Auditorium. Mr. Evans is donating his services at this function which is being given to raise funds for the new Pine Arts Building to be erected on the campus, as" a memorial to the late president P. L. Camp bell. On October 24, Professor Evans will play at the dedica tion of the new pipe organ at the First Methodist Church in Sacramento, Califbrnia. Fol lowing this he w-ill go to Ta coma, Washington, where he will give the dedication recital on the organ of the new Pres byterian church. EXPERTS OF GRIDIRON TO HANDLE BIG GAAAES Officials Are Picked From Noted Sports Critics George Varnell, veteran Seattle sports critic and football official, will referee three 'of Oreg|on’s con ference games this fall—'the en counters with Idaho, California, and Washington. He picks the of ficial all-coast team at the end of each season’s play. This year he will have plenty of opportunity to watch Oregon’s all-star aspirants. Sam Dolan will referee the Stan ford game at Palo Alto, and Moyer will be in charge of tho Oregon O. A. C. tussle November 14. Dolan will try his hand as umpire for the California game. Morris will umpire the O. A. C. and Washington games, Cave will be behind the defensive line at Palo Alto, and Tom Loutitt will serve in that capacity during tho Idaho affair Cext Saturday.

FRENCH INSTRUCTOR RETURNS AFTER EXTENDED VISIT IN PARIS “Tourists, tourists, tourists— that’s the Paris of today all during the summer months,” solid Muss Germaine Cornier, French instruc tor, when asked about her trip this summer to her homo in Paris. Her trip, of course, was a most enjoyable one in every way. As she and Mi§s Henriette Gouy also of the Ro'inance Languages depart ment made the voyage together on the steamship “Kochambeau” of the French line. Miss Gouy then went on to her home in Marseilles. The International Exposition of Decorative Arts was - held during the spring and summer in Paris; and Miss Cornier was a frequent visitor to this place of interest, at which nearly every country in the world, with the exception of the United States, was represented. Here, too, tourists were ever pre valent and rode daily through the streets looking at the exteriors of tho beautiful buildings which held thy exhibits and thinking thyy hod “seen” the exposition. “Why one could come every day for a whole month and not see everything,” said Miss Cornier. “There was a pavilion for each country; and some were real pal aces. That of -France was tho most beautiful but many others were lovoly and interesting. The exhibit of Indo-China was especial ly beautiful. • “You should have seen the Rus sian one,” she said smiling. “It was truly Soviet art, all red on the outside with funny lines and ter rible pdctures and decorations in side.” There is talk of holding the ex hibit over for another season, be tion during tho summer in Paris year.
