Two Historians Will be Invited To Vitfit Campus F. L. Paxson, Eva Emery Dye to Appear on Semi Centennial Program Committee Makes Plans For Fall Celebration The semi-centennial celebration committee decided at a meeting held in Dean James IT. Gilbert’s office Thursday evening to invite Frederic L. Paxson, head of the de partment of history at the Univer sity of Wisconsin, and Eva Emery Dye, historian of the Oregon coun try, to deliver addresses, at the semi-centennial celebration here Oc tober 15-23, 1926, on the general subject “The history of American Civilization.” It was decided that sub-commit tees on processions and ceremonials, inaugural program, publicity, cor respondence study and adult edu cation would be appointed at a later date. The committee took steps by which interest in the writing of a semi-centennial ode will be stimu lated co-operating with the art de partment in the perfection of a design for formal invitations which wlifll be sent to the leading educa tion institutions of the United States and Canada asking them to participate in the celebration. Dr. Joseph Schafer, superintend ent of the Wisconsin State Histor ical Society, who was head of the department of history at the Uni versity from 1904 until 1920 and w'ho Its writing a biography of ox president Prince L. Campbell, will also attend the celobration. Bowen Enthusiastic About His New Home Dr. Ray P. Bowen, head of the de partment of Romance languages, is enthusiastic, about his new home at 2271 Birch Lane into which he and William Maddox, instructor in the political science department, moved April 1. It is situatod just across the street from the home of Dean E. 0. Robbins, of the school of business administration, and between the home of Dean E. W. Allen, of the school of journalism, and M. H. Douglass, librarian. Dr. Bowen planned the house with the assistance of C. L. Kelly, of the business administration department. The living room is located at the back of the building and it over looks the city affording a view of the Coburg hills and the Willamette river. There are five rooms, with a fireplace, French windows, beam ceilings and oak floors. The light ing is effected by lamps instead of fixtures. A basement garage and built-in are features of the house. Names (Continued from poor one) teams seems simple, but all the fitting niekjnnme for Oregon's really good sobriquets appear to be corralled. Montana is even threat oiling a lawsuit to force the Univer sity of California, Southern Branch, to abandon the title of Grizzlies, alleging this monicker to be a Mon tanan birthright, and the Univer sity of California student body is howling over the use of Bears by the Mission club of the Pacific Coast league. Simple. Short, and Snappy The ideal label must be sonorous, popular, capable of fitting into harmony and cheers, and short enough to aid the head writers— some simple catch name to encour age the prancing sons of Oregon on their journey over the chalked yards. Perhaps some demure fresh man will strike the lucky key, and coin a same to be heard around the world. Sharpen up 'old Joe Lead Pencil and give Waterman a drink and have a try. The executive council .might even be cajoled into offer ing a medal to encourage the mer cenary slogansmiths. A1 Westergren, when interview ed, suggesting the Swedes as the ideal fighting name for Oregon team's. Also, it has been suggested that The Ducks might be a good synonym for the swimmers.

Pump to Keep Water From Library Basement Installation of an automatic pump in the library basement is being done under the supervision of R. E. McDaniels. The purpose of the pump is to keep the water from ris ing in the basemhnt in cp-,0 of heavy rains. During the first part of last term the water rose several feet and caused considerable confus ion in the library. ! Politics (Continued from pope one) Someone may ask, “Are student body offices worth while? Are they worth the trouble they, cause and the time they take?” Wo say yes. While somewhat skeptical of the value 'or the merit of a great many extra-curricula ac tivities, wo are inclined to believe that student office-holding is a pro fession that can be justified if on no other basis than a good time. Solute things like daily dozens are healthy for us; some things like sermons are good for us; and some things like elections are just good healthy fun. As for the practical training in student offices, we can not wax dogmatic. Being a mem ber of the executive council may or it may not make a better Ro tarian of the student. We make no promises and administer no cau tions. * • * * If candidates are timid about venturing onto the political sea they will find consolation in form ing a great political ccVmlbinc that :ls sure to topple over all the 'oppo sition. In our opinion, political combines, contrary to the popular belief, do as much to hinder as to help a candidate. The leaders may get together in some secret closet j and. trade a matter of” some several j hundred or thousand votes; but | when it iconics to the ballot box i (which conceals all traitorous acts) the average voter follows his in clinations. But machines are com forting and have no doubt produced many ward bosses. Last, but most important, can didates when elected should take their jobs seriously. The student body is a corporation handling bus iness running into hundreds of thousands of dollars annually; hence competent persons aro re paired to conduct affairs properly. All who seek offices should keep this in mind.
