Frosh-Soph Mix To be Squarest Event of Year Climax of Initiation for First Year Men Coming Saturday Senior Cops to Parade as Opening Feature By DAN CHENEY The annual freshman-sophomore mix, the event of the year which really decides which class is the •better, is to be held Saturday morn ing immediately following the frosh parade. The junior class will be in charge of the mix this year and it will be the aim of the class to make this the fairest and squarest mix ever held at Oregon. William Mc Gregor, junior man in charge of the mix and parade, announces that no effort will be spared this year to make this mix a square contest. The senior cop parade, one of the big hits of the mix, will probably be the first thing on the program. Don McCook, chairman of this event, and Paul Boucher, member of the committee, ask that all mem bers of the class of 1927 bring som breros and canes for this event. They add that it might be well for the frosh to call the stretcher bear ers and have a doctor near at hand. Ford Knutson is chairman of the cane rush and Art Hamilton the second man on the committee. These two men plan to make this part of the program purely a “cake eat er’s” game. Three reporters are to be present to get the life history of the frosh entering the rush. The object is, of course, merely to make ■out an obituary sketch of the babes of 1930. Casualties Run High Casualties in the “Push Ball” contest usually run high, although it is hoped that this year the numbor killed can be greatly reduced. Nev ertheless the committee, Frank Ball, chairman, and Ed Walker, suggests that the frosh visit the undertaker today and make all necessary ar rangements for their transportation home. It might be well to mention at this time that the push ball will bo covered with spikes this year. Hospital reservations have already been made for those participating in the tilting contest. This will be just the old-fashioned bone-crushing game which was so popular at the time of the Spanish inquisition and some thing on the order of that French game known as “trip the guillotine.” The reservations were made by Fred Joy, who serves as chairman of this event, and Bob Overstreet. The Flag Bush is the bloodiest part of the mix. Frosh who do not lose at least a pound of flesh in this event will be disqualified and the mix will go to the sophomores. Ed Crowley, chairman, and Laugh ton Diflfenderfer will be there to see that the frosh lose the required amount of flesh. Frosh who do not lose the use of their vocal organs in the yelling and singing contest will have the priv ilege of singing a solo on the library steps. Bobbie Warner will see to it that every frosh is injured in this contest. Full dress will be in order for the Band contest and all freshmen are urged to bring their vietrolas (free advertising) and shoe horns. Saxo phone players will be hung at sun set of the same day and trombonists will be sent to the South Seas. Bill Powell will be there with a complete first aid outfit and has already hired an ambulance for this contest. Bill Hayward will act as starter and supreme justice and Bob Mautz will be announcer of the events, as sisted by Billy Reinhart, Harry Scott, Virgil Earl, Spike Leslie and Baz Williams. These men will also act as stretcher bearers. Complete information regarding the program will bo given out Satur day. It might be well to add that the frosh can get material for dress ing wounds at almost any drug store and also that the telephone directory carries a fclassified sec tion giving the names and addresses of doctors in Eugene.

Experts to Test Value of College Business Course Award of $1,000 for Best Suggestion on Price Problem j The extent to which college !courses in economics and business ] administration enable students to solve practical business problems is to be measured this fall by Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, and a group of business experts, i Senator Capper, author of a bill i to end destructive price wars, heads j a committee seeking the best solu j tion of the price-cutting evil. Sug gestions have been sought from stu dents and professors of colleges in all parts of the United States. The student or professor who presents the suggestion of most practical value will not only receive a money ; prize of $1,000 for his ideas but will have the satisfaction of seeing I them adopted as the basis of action by business men and legislators. The special prize of $1,000 has ■been offered by Dr. Edward Plaut, |Ke\y York manufacturer, specific ally Tor the best college plan for the maintenance of standard retail ! prices. J “What we are after,” said Dr. Plaut, in sponsoring the competi tion, “is a real solution to this trade problem. The answer is vital to the future success of American in I dustry. The method of presenting | the plan is unimportant. We are : seeking ideas, not rhetoric. A large number of men in wholesale and re tail trade have already submitted their plans.

I am interested to see how the winning college plan compares with the best suggestions from business men.” Dr. Plaut is a graduate of Prince ton and received his doctor’s degree from Columbia. Both as a college and business man, he is interested in seeing whether the better plans come from American colleges or from the ranks of trade itself. Details of the contest, which closes November 1, have been sent to professors of economics and busi ness administration.
