FRESHMEN WOMEN
MAKING PENNANTS
In preparation for Homecoming
the Freshman Girls Commission
will start making the small lem
on-vellow pennants today.
This work is voluntary, and from
the reports of girls who have made
them in the past, is actually more
fun than work.' All freshman wom
en who have any vacant hours are
asked to report at the Bungalow,
and if possible bring a pair of
scissors.
The pennants must be finished
by the end of next week. At least
3000 will be made.
Wet Days Bring
Gay Billboards Of
Campus Witicisms
It may no longer be good form
to wear youT heart on your
sleeve, but it is quite a fti mode
these days to blazon yoUr brain
on your sweat shirt or slicker.'
The man who has been confined
to the small amount of space on
his pair of eords now has a big
field in which to display his wit
and artistic efforts.,
With the inauguration of the
cooler and wetter days of the
fall season has come the walking
billboards. Not to flaunt a car
toon, emblem or a spicy bon mot
on your back is to be sartorially
decadent and depressed.
Every man who had a bathing
beauty on the windshield of his
car last summer now must have
a duck, a mule, a rooster, a lion
or a comic cartoon character
flaunting gaudily from' his back.
The ultra-smart thing to do,
however, is to parade a sign. “If
you can read this you are too
darn close,” is the clever bit of
repartee on the back of one girl’s
slicker. “It looks like rain” and
“How dry .1 am” are also pop
ular.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB DESCRIBED;
INTERNATIONALISM BIGGEST AIM
-Many who see the name of the
Cosmopolitan club do not know for
what the name stands,” Edna
Spenker, president, recently de
clared.
“The Cosmopolitan Club,” con
tinued the president, “is an organ
ization established to promote bet
ter international relations; to fur
nish a point of social contact for
the foreign students on the mam
pus; and to discuss problems that
will help to create a better mutual
understanding.”
The first meeting was called No
vember 7, 1921, according to Miss
Spenker, in the Y. W. Bungalow
by a group of both foreign and
American students entertaining a
genuine interest in foreign and in
teraational affairs. Officers were
elected, a constitution adopted, and
it was decided that this new or
ganization on the campus be called
the Cosmopolitan club, a club whose
members thought in terms of world
events.
“The Cosmopolitan club is often
considered as exclusively for for
eign students. Miss Spenker con
tinued, “but it is for all those who
are willing to bring an impartial
mind to bear upon world prob
lems. American students interest
ed in international work or who
plan to do foreign work later will
find this activity helpful. • Any
student who feels he would be in
terested in this club is invited to
attend its opes meetings.”

ence Magowan, secretary said, “Our
two Christian organizations for stu
dents have ‘been called the balance
wheels of the campus! We try to
promote friendships, widen the in
terests of students, and broaden
their knowledge of students of
other countries. The Y. W. C. ^A.
makes the world a friendly one by
helping to smooth out the racial
prejudices through an impartial
and broad understanding of all na
tionalities.”
Plans Outlined
Beatrice Mason, pep manager of
the drive, gave a short talk on
salesmanship, outlining a method
to be followed by the solicitors in
‘selling their wares.’ Ellen Mc
Clellan outlined the program for
the entire campaign. Daily reports
of the teams are to be made at
the Bungalow. Anita Kellogg de
scribed Y. W. C. A., activities in
Esthonia, a new republic, telling
of the part which the local organ
ization plays in making the Y. W.
C. A., branch there possible, a por
tion of the finances foeing con
tributed to them each year.'
A minature newspaper, “The
Tiny Y,” was distributed among
the girls. Activities of the organ

TED OSBORNE WRITES
Ex-24- Student Now Works
* For King Features
,Ted Osborne, ex-’24, is in New
York following the line of work
first practiced on the deceased
Lemon Punch. Ted, whose home
is in Santa Barbara, California
went east three months ago and
is conducting a column for the
King Feature Syndicate. He writes
of Lemon Punch and his present
work:
“Lemon Punch—poor, dear, dead
departed Lemmy—has long since
been interred in the graveyard of
deceased periodicals, 'but since it
is customary to say nice things
about the dead, I will raise my
feeble voice in grateful eulogy.
Lemmy may have accomplished
very little for the campus but for
me the deceased furnished the first
foothold on the Tree of Journalism.
While in college Lemmy was really
my chief interest—if not obsession
—as can be verified by the prepon
derance of fours and fives oppo
site my name in the registrar’s
office. And when Lemmy passed
away I kept on writing and became
a daily cbriaistent contributor to
both ‘Life’ and ‘Judge.’ Three
months ago I got an offer to come
to New York and conduct a column
for the King Features Syndicate,
and here I am. The good die
young, and you can see that Lem
my ’s life while short, was not en
tirely in vain. Of course, I have
not. been in the said Tree of Jour
nalism long enough to become a
branch; in fact I have not decided
whether I am part of the foliage
or just some of the sap. . . Best
wishes to ‘Old Oregon,’ may its
Circulation increase until it has
blood pressure.”
This letter was received by Jean
nette Calkins, alumni (secretary.
Mr. Osborne mentions that another
alumnus Of Oregon, Hugh McColl
is in New York, working in an
accountant’s office and taking
graduate work in accounting at Co
lumbia. McColl hopes to get his
degree of certified public account
ing in a year or so.
Osborne’s address is 241 West
58 Street, New York City.
STUDENTS ARE WARNED
AGAINST OLD STAMPS
No more cancelled stamps on
laundry boxes. This is the warn
ing received at the University post
office from the main office down
town.
Students have been sending pack
ages without removing the old
stamps from them and the officials
say that they will accept no more.
The cards attached to the boxes
must be cleaned of the used stamps
so that there will be no mistaking
them for new ones.
Many letters and packages for
students continue to come to the
University of Oregon instead of to
the street addresses. This causes
an unnecessary delay of a day as
the mail must be returned to the
main office down town before it
can be delivered.
STUDENT TO BESUME WORK
Laura Breske, a sophomore in the
fine arts department, who Friday
suffered a very severe attack of
pleurisy, has almost completely re
covered and will return to her
classes the first part of this week.
SUPREME COURT
DECIDES BOND
ISSUE IS VALID
Construction of Building
Expected To Be Started
Without Further Delay
Sum Of $500,000 was First
Voted For Auditorium At
July Special Election
By a four to three vote of the
state supreme court, the $500,000
Eugene auditorium bond issue was
held constitutional, in a decision
handed down Tuesday.
The proposed auditorium is a
part of the gift campaign begun
by the late President P. L. Camp
bell. While the students would
contribute a student union, the fa
culty and alumni in a way yet to
be decided, the Eugene residents
were to build the auditorium by
voting a bond issue to meet the
cost.
Suit Is Filed
A charter amendment for the
bond issue was drawn up by the
Eugene council on May 1, 1924. A
special election was called on July
2, 1924, and the issued passed by a
plurality of 30 votes. However
on August 10, 1924 a suit was
filed by W. T. Campbell, a tax
payer of Eugene, to enjoin the
bond sale.
The action of Mr. Campbell was
based on the contention that the
election was illegal and .conse
quently null and void, because an
insufficient length of time had
elapsed between the passing of the
ordinance for the election, and the
voting.
“I believe the fundamentals of
the controversy, are settled, and
that there will be no further de
lay,” commented W. G. Hale, dean
of the law school.
Building Community Project
The auditorium, as provided in
the amendment, would be construct
ed as a community project, either
on, or adjacent to the University
campus, for public use.
If found feasible, however, the
building will be leased to the board
of regents of the University. If
this plan would not prove satisfac
tory, the auditorium would remain
under control of the common coun
cil of Eugene.
When the actual work of con
struction will begin is yet undeter
mined, stated Karl Onthartk, secre
tary of the University.
GRADES MAY BE POSTED
AT END OF SIX WEEKS
Last spring the faculty voted in
favor of mid-term grade reports,
not to be made a matter of perma
nent record, but to be made avail
able to students and to officials
interested in student welfare. In
the interest of scholarship and in
order to secure uniformity, the
scholarship committee will submit
the following' supplementary fno
tion at the faculty meeting today
at 4:15:
Sometime during the sixth
week of each term during the
seventh -week of the present term,
only, on account of the lateness
■of the present date) each in
structor will send copies of his
class rolls with approximate
grades to the dean of his school.
The dean will have carbon copies
made of these reports, will have
one copy posted on the depart
mental bulletin board for the use
of students and will have throe
copies sent to the registrar for
the use of the dean of men, the
dean of women and other faculty
or administrative members inter
ested.
There will also come up for vote
the two items submitted by the
scholarship and academic require
ments committees three weeks ago.
1. Authorizing instructors tto re
port as dropped students who dis
continue courses without permis
sion, and who do not comply with
the procedure for withdrawing; 2.
restoring the grade of condition.
Tea, Music, Dancing,

OUR OREGON'IS
OFFIGIALSLOGAN
Suggestion Declared Best
But Has No Signature;
Tickets Are Unclaimed
Award Is Made; Rules Are
Rigid Against Spirit Of
Rivalry Towards 0. A. C.
Of the several hundred Hlome
eomimg slogans submitted to the
committee, “Back—To Back Our
Oregon” was the one declared of
ficial today. In the opinion of
those making the selection, it most
nearly conformed to the more rigid
requirements imposed this year.
The Homecoming slogan commit
tee, of which Tom Graham is chair
man, at the beginning of the cam
paign sent letters to all heads of •
living organizations warning
against any use of the word “Ag
gies,” or its equivalent. Beference
to Oregon’s opponents in the Home
coming game would only promote
rivalry beyond sportsmanly ethics
if so used, the committee held. It
was suggested that suggestions re
late to the return of old grads, and
it was by this standard the final
selection was made.
In additibn to the oommitj^ee,
judges were Dr. James Gilbert,
Karl Onthank, Jeannette Calkins
and Prof. W. F. G. Thaeher,
No name was signed to the win
ning suggestion, Elam Amstuz, as- ■
sistant Homecoming director an
nounced. He asks that the person
who submitted the slogan see James
Leake to receive the two reserved
grandstand seats to the Homecom
ing game, the prize for the winner
of the contest.

WORLD POINT OF VIEW STRESSED
BY HONOLULU EDITOR, ON VISIT
The importance of intelligent1
study' and understanding of inter
national affairs as a vital part of
journalism work was stressed by
Tiiley H. Allen, editor of the Hon
olulu Star-Bulletin, in a talk given
last night at a dinner at the Os
burn hotel for which the men and
women’s professional journalism
fraternities and the journalism fa
culty were hosts. Mrs. Allen also
wasa guest of honor.
“This study of international af
fairs is just the sort of training
vital for outstanding newspaper
leadeqi,” he said. “The Pacific
coast countries are going to occupy
a constantly more prominent and«
influential place in international
] affairs,” °he continued. •
Mr. Allen, whose paper is pub
lished at the crossroads of Occident
and orient, gives particular atten
tion to problems of the cementing
of good relations between the peo
ples of the world.
It was the opinion expressed by
the speaker that the influence of
jingoists in the various countries
is definitely on the wane and that,
while the days of danger are not
yet past, the international situation
