Murray Warner Collection
of Art to be Housed
I n Proposed Museum
4
Booths are Gifts of Alumni
And Others Interested In
State Cultural Center
A building fund for the erection
of an art museum on the Univer
sity campus is the object of the
campaign sponsoring the All-Ore
gon 1925 Exposition abd Bazaar
being held in Portland from Octo
ber fifth to tenth.
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. Students are
asked to remember that there is no
fee, and that dates are not in order.
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.

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

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

EXPERTS OF GRIDIRON
TO HANDLE BIG GAAAES
Officials Are Picked From
Noted Sports Critics

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

All of these men are capable
officials with many years of play

know how to handle games in
snappy fashion. Very few rule in
fractions will escape their alert
eyes.

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
