VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1925 Number 10 OREGON SQUAD TO BE DRILLED ON'OFFENSI Inability to Score Is Held Responsible For Defeat By Idaho Team Saturday Eleven, Unhurt By Vandal Victory’ Begins Practice For Mix With California That is the byword, the goal, and the working basis of the three var sity football coaches for the next two weeks. Hard work land speed featured the first day of the gTihd for the. game with the G-olden Bears which is barely two weeks in the offing. And it was a drive on qffense. The work began in deadly earn est last night to perfect Oregon’s weak attack as demonstrated |in the game last Saturday where the team fell down miserably. The taofwytoftwawtmafrfamfwy Fierce Scrimmage Held The atmosphere on Hayward Field was tense. Coaches and squad were exerting every effort to re gain the lost ground. The defeat last week end inspired a determin ation in everyone to put the team on the uphill grade again. The fiercest scrimmaging of the year was done last night for an hour by two teams, one a second varsity and the other made up of benchmen. Up and down the field the teams pounded and smashed. The air was filled with thudding pads and falling players. It' was merely the forerunner of the grind that begins tonight for the varsity in preparation for the California game. That is the big opportunity of the Oregon team to get back in the running but it is a mighty hurdle to defeat the premier eleven of the country. dick smith in Action Dick Smith got into action last night and it was a treat to watch him work out with the players. Under his driving, the men were putting out every ounce they had. Speed is his by word from now on. Oregon's coaching staff began the year with discarding all bear stories and alibis. The staff is not putting out any alibis on the Idaho game. The game last Saturday, with the 6 to 0 defeat of the var sity by a superior eleven, deserves no alibis. Coach Mathews admits that his team is going at full speed now. The varsity was green and unpolished. There was a glaring lack of team work. Oregon was bested both in line plays and in passes.’ The team has two weeks to round into shape before the big game of the season. It will be going at top form on October 24 if it gets going at all this year. It will have reached its peak of perfection and it will not be so difficult to keep from going stale before the end of the seas-on. The team was off color Saturday. Something took all the punch and concerted drive out of the squad and left it comparatively powerless before the Idaho drive. The game had some high lights (Continued on page four) Juniors To Choose Two Class Officers At Meet Tonight With two class officers to be elected for this year, an import ant meeting o% the Junior class will be held in Villard hall to nfght at 7:15. The offices of vice-president and sergeant-at arms are vacant as the students elected to the positions last spring have not entered school this fall. As candidates for the two va cant posts will be nominated at the meeting this evening, it it important that all members of the class of ’27 be present. Mary West was elected vice-president of the class last spring and Cliff Powers, sergeantat-arms. Jimmiie Johnson, president of the Junior class, has placed Bob Neighbors in charge of the com mittee working on the class party, scheduled for next Friday even ing at College Side Inn. The dance will be known as the “Jun ior Jazz Jamboree” and the com . mittee are working out plans for an original affair. Neighbors will make a report on the class dance at the meeting tonight. OCTOBER 14 TB 24 SET FOB PAMNT OF FEES Penalty Will Be Imposed For N. S. F. Checks Tho cn.sliier’s window din the Uni versity business office will open Wednesday meriting, October 14, for the payment of registration fees and will remain open ten days, un til October 24. . After that date any student paying fees will be assessed $3.00 for the first day late and twenty-five cents for each ad ditional day for one week and after which, no student may pay his fee, and will be considered dropped from the University. Attention is called to the fact that two Saturdays have been al lowed- for fee payment, this making it easier for those who are work ing, to get to the business office. The office closes in the afternoons on Saturday, but on all other days, is open until 5:00 o’clock. There is a much larger student body this year, than in former years, and the congestion at the cashier’s window will be very no ticeable during the last few days of the ten day period, according to officials of the business office, and every effort should be made to pay fees as early as possible.* The regular fee for students is $18.75 jrith the class room fees and labratory fees added. This amount includes class dues, subscription to the campus daily, student body fees and assessments, and other expenses that have to be met by the student body treasury, such as the Home coming luncheon. A warning against N. S. F. checks is issued by the business office. A check written without funds to cover is regarded as no payment and will be treated accordingly by University officials. AMERICA NOW ART CENTER OF THE WORLD SAYS FAIRBANKS “New York is fast becoming the fine art center of the world,” said Prof. Avard Fairbanks, instructor in the school of fine arts, who has returned from an absence of a year partly spent at Yale. “Fifty-seventh street, which a few years ago was dotted with a few art studios, and on which is now situated the American Fine Arts Building, is becoming the fash ion and art center of New York.” Today the world’s greatest music and fine arts are found in America, he continued. Not only are the Americans developing a fine* appre ciation of the arts, but the United States is doing more purchasing of art than any other country. Europe’s art has been on the de cline since before the war. The modern art which has had a period of unstable popularity is suggestive ' of the degeneracy of ideals that I have come out of Europe. The modern art schools which sprang j up and which had unusual success | for a short space of time are now i going out of business. Modern art grew out of a desire ! for something new and different; something novel. Jazz was an off shoot of it. Those artists who were intgrestecPin the movement, thought that by going back to the primi tive, they would be able to evolve a new type of art. The whole thing was aimed toward freedom, but the movement was not successful. The leaders are now advocating a change—a return to the antique. The old school of art however, (Continued on page four) YJ.

Tune of ‘Madelon’ Urged By Alumnus For Varsity Song Mighty Oregon4 Poet Brings Idea “There is still one perfect tune, admirably fitted for use as a col lege song, that has never, so far as I know, been adopted by any collelge,” said DcWitt Gilbert, author of the words to “Mighty Oregon,” who was among the visiting alumni at the game last Saturday. “It is ‘Madelon,’ the tune most sung by the ‘poilus’ in France during the war. It corresponds to our ‘Long, Long, Trail’ and other war songs. It has the fire and the spirit of the Marseillaise with an additional care-free lilt which would be ideal for an Ore gon college song. “Some student should get the music and write appropriate words,” Mr. Gilbert believes. firstHSiut MEETING GULLED Representatives Convene At 4:00 P.

Jordan, Sherwood Anderson, To Appear Before Students One To Speak Each Term Is Plan Made By The Committee In Charge Davi'd Starr Jord an, Eoald Amundsen, Sherwood Anderscto; three outstanding world figures are to be brought to tho campus this | year for lectures, if plans tenta tively made by the faculty commit tee on free intellectual activities and the A. S. U. O. concert com mittee are worked out. Never, in tho opinion of the committees in charge, have the students of the Tinversity of Oregon been privil eged to meet such a group of noted men in any one college year. It is the idea of the committee to have one of these men appear be i fore the students each term. Eoald Amundsen, discoverer of ! the South Pole and noted also for his Arctic, explorations, is perhaps the most famous living explorer. Since his discovery of the South Pole in 1911, ho, has made numer ous trips in both regions, the last being his unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole by airplane this summer, when he was lost for several weeks. Wins Peace Prize j David Starr Jordan, chancellor j emeritus of Leland Stanford Uni | versity, is an educator of note and | an authority on zoology and evolu j tion. He recently won the Bok j prize of $25,000 for tho best essay on World Peace. Sherwood Anderson is one of the most widely read and discussed au thors of the day. Extreme and | revolutionary in his writings, he is known ns one of tho most mod fContinued on page four) LARGE NUMBER TRYOUT FOR GIRL’S GLEE CLUB Fifty-two girls were successful in the tryout for the Girl’s Glee blub last night.

The fol lowing girls are asked to appear for the second tryout this afternoon at four o’clock, in the music build ing, and to bring with them a solo writh which they are familiar: Eol ston, Howe, Bell, Lucille Pearson, Freeman, Caldwell, Taylor, Palmer, (Benson, Poill, Horsfall, Plymate, | Pearce, Helms, Peters, Fascliing, | Mary Clark, Black, Wright, Bar ton, Biggs, Johnson, Alexander, | Harden, Stockton, Julia Wilson, Tnez Jones, Bartle, Aehterman, Gas j kill, Gasman, Normile, Gotlieb, Os | burn, Do Loris Pearson, Young, T71 | rich, Maxine Edmonds, Miac.key, I Heuer, Marguerite Hill, Jensen, j Florence Elliot, Hoover, Ferrell, , LaVcrne Eieh, Pauline Jones, Stor Long, Woodside, Carson, and Hick | man. HOMECOMING SLOGANS WANTED; CONTEST STARTS IMMEDIATELY Homecoming slogans, one of which will be the “war-cry” of the 1925-20 Homecoming, scheduled for November 13 and 14, are wanted! The contest starts today and the committee in charge expects 3000 suggestions, more or less, from which to select the prize winner,— one suggestion, at least, from every student in the University. The prize, incidentally, will be two grand stand seats to the Ore gon-O. A. C. football game, the fea ture of Homecoming week-end. Rules for tho contest are simple. Students, alumni, faculty members and all others will be allowed to submit slogans—as many as they wish. Just clip the Homecoming Slogan coupon from the Emerald, jot down the “bright ideas” and see that they reach the Homecom ing committee. For this latter purpose, a box will be placed in the entrance of the main library where slogans will bo collected from day to day They may also be left at the Emerald office in “The Shack” or may be mailed directly to the Homecoming Slogan editor, in care of the Uni versity of Oregon. No definite closing day has as yet been set for the contest, but it mil be wise, the committee wishes to point out, to begin turning in slogans at once. Homecoming slogans!—they are easy to concoct. Winners in other years have been: “Homo Again; Win Again—Oregon,” “Home to Meet ’Em; Back to Beat ’Em,” and “Unite to Fight for Oregon.” The committee, however, expects better ones this year.
