The flag was given as a gift to the University and is so fra gile that it is taken out only on rare occasions. It is the same one that graced the mast of the old warrior when it made its 14,000 mile trip from Mare Isl and Navy yard around the horn and arrived in Cuban waters in time to take part in the Battle of Santiago. Rear-admiral Chas. E. Clark, then a captain, com mander of the famous old ship and earned undying iglory for himself and country.

Pierce, governor of the state of Oregon, who visited the campus yesterday to adminis ter the pledge in assembly, sat down in the president’s office in Johnson hall and tore scraps of paper into small bits, toying with them as he talked, to his youngest daughter who sat on the table and assured him that everything was going well. A group of girls in gym suits doing entertaining things with balls in the field engaged his at tention. “What’s that, what’s thatt” he asked, peering out the window, and was informed that it was only part of the day’s work in a freshman’s life. “So you’re training to be a re porter,” he addressed the writer; “one of these reporters I suppose, who have been roasting me for forty years.” (This with a twinkle of the eye). “What can I tell yout” "I’m going to administer the pledge in a serious and solemn manner,” he said with a wave of his hand. “And I’m going to tell them some things. I’m going to tell them that the chief thing in school life is to develop the right character. To develop honest, true men and women with proper ideals; that’s the aim of education.” He interrupted himself to ex change bits of news with his daugh ter, whom he had not seen since she entered the University last month. “Are the rules strict enough?” he asked. “The board of regents meets soon, and we’ll see what wo can do about tightening them up if you think they are too lenient. You have to be* in by ten-thirty? That’s fine; that’s fine.” Hia whole face lighted up with a smile. Then become suddenly serious again. He talked clearly and emphatical ly, moving rapidly from one sub ject to another. The Governor is a man of affability and charm of manner and seemed keenly inter ested in campus news and activity. Books are an especial hobby of his, -and his conversation shows ac quaintance’-with ancient, medieval, and modern history of all parts of the world. Two of his daughters attend school here, Edith, a senior, and Lorraine, a freshman. !

Building Problems Discussed The committee asked the aid of the Board of Regents in attempting to control the problem of buildings being constructed on the opposite side of the mill race from the bleachers, owned by the University, which would materially detract from the annual canoe fete. Help was also asked to curb the construc tion of shacks on the edge of the campus. The Doernbecher Memorial Hos pital, which has been under con struction on the Medical School campus, is now nearing completion, and will be ready ito turn over to the University by December, ac cording to the report of the ad ministrative committee. The committee advises the board that this coming June will mark the semi-centennial of academic instruction at the University of Oregton, and suggests that this faqt should be made known, and the op portunity utilized to set forth the professional and intellectual achi evements of the University. This I could be done by bringing men of distinction to the campus, whose lectures would bring back gradu ates. Appointments Reported Amended to the reptort of the i committee was a list of appoint ments which have been made in the iivterim between board meet | ings. All appointments are to fill vacancies at no increased expense, and in some departments there has '< actually been a saving over former estimates.

ON PALO ALTO FIELD Team With Coaches Arrives In South Friday The Oregon Varsity meets the strongest team in the Pacific Coast conference without exception this afternoon at 3:00 o’clock in the Stanford stadium at Palo Alto. The cardinal squad has shown far more power than California this season and what showing the Lemon Yel low team makes against them will be through fight alone. The team with the coaching staff, and Bill Hayward with his trainers was scheduled to arrive in Palo Alto late yesterday afternoon in time for a short workout on the turf gridiron. Practically the same lineup will go into the game as entered the California game. Pop Warner, crafty old coach of the highest order, is not taking any chances, so ho is putting his first team in the lineup according to all reports from the south. Er nie Nevers, by far the most out standing man on the coast, will . start the game as fullback opposite Lynn Jones. The rest ''of the team will average about 190 'pounds. They are bigger ahd probably just as fast as the California team. The dope is criisliingly against the varsity. Oregon was defeated 1 by Idaho 6 to 0 and the University of Southern California defeated 1 Idaho 51 to 7. Then two weeks ago [ Stanford won a hard fought game from Howard Jones’ U. S. 0. squad 1 by 'the score of 13 to 9, so that places the odds against Oregon. 1 THIRTY-EIGHT OBTAIN CUSH FROM LOAN FUND The juniors seem to be harder pressed for money this year than any of the other ^classes. Fourteen out of the thirty-eight who have borrowed from the Student Loan Fund this quarter, have been from that class, as shown on the record kept by the loan fund committee. The seniors run a close second with thirteen. Eight sophomores and three freshmen have also taken ad vantage of the loans. The laitter three are all women as no loans are available for the , freshman men. Besides the students borrowing from this fund, thirteen have bor rowed from the Crawford Loan Fund in Portland. Dean Walker, chairman of the Loan Fund committee accredits the early loan to the payment of fees. He expects that the number will not increase much after all of the fees have been paid. “The Student Loan Fund is very low now,” states Dean Walker, “and the committee is discouraging large loans.” It is attempting to increase the fund by pressing col lections on loans that are due now, and by encouraging premature pay ment of others.” An attempt is made by the com mittee to grant loans to It^ose most needy and most deserving of them.
