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. They are thinking clear

ly and constructively on this im
portant question and show good busi
ness judgment. 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.
