Special Edition
Of Old Oregon
Now Off Press
Semi-Centennial Issue
Of Alumni Magazine
Has Features
Large Variety of Pictures
Accompany Articles
A special edition of Old Oregon,
alumni publication, commemorating
Oregon’s Semi-Centennial celebration,
Homecoming, and the inauguration
of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall as presi
dent of the University, came off the
press Thursday afternoon.
This is one of the largest editions
of Old Oregon ever put out and con
tains all the plans for the week of
October 18-23, explaining and pre
senting a program for the entire
week.
Alumni Get Invitations
All Oregon alumni are sent a spe
cial invitation, in this issue, to at
tend the celebration by the mem
bers of the board of regents.
A survey of the University for
the past half century has been made
by Raymond D. Lawrence, ’22, who
gives a short review in Old Oregon.
The article is accompanied by pic
tures of John Wesley Johnson, first
president of the University; Judge
Mathew P. Deady, president of the
first board of regents, and others.
The entire edition of Old Oregon
is filled with pictures of those in
strumental in building the Univer
sity to its present size and of the
city of Eugene—as it was in the
early days before the University
first came into being and as it is
"today.
There are large full page pictures
of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Hall and a
picture of the late president, Prince
3j. Campbell.
Houses Have Layout
Jeannette Calkins, editor of Old
Oregon, has included a double page
layout of pictures of all the new I
fraternity and sorority houses on
the campus. “For the convenience
of the alumni,” she said, “a glance
at these pictures will eliminate
many such questions as, ‘What house
is this?’ and ‘What fraternity lives
here?’ ”
There is the regular sports sec
tion including a group of pictures
of the football team and an article
on Oregon’s football oultlook for
this season by Professor H. C. Howe,
who for many years has watched
the progress of Oregon teams and
whose judgment is trusted by Ore
gon alumni.
News of the classes is “bigger
and better than ever before,” says
the editor. This section was edited
by Dorothy Conner, ’18, who re
ceived her B. A. at Oregon and her
M. A. at Wellesley in ’20, and is
now one of the contributing editors
to Old Oregon.
A number of other articles, all of
interest to Oregon alumni, are in
cluded in this edition which has as
a cover design, ono similar to others
used in connection with the Semi
Centennial celebration.

statistics desired by the president
for reference and make investiga
tions in the University administra
tion from the financial angle.
This position was held by John
MacGregor, formerly a prominent
law student here, who is now study
ing law in New York.
Delta Sigma Rho h
Petitioned by Oregon
Oregon debaters are petitioning
Delta Sigma Bho, the national hon
orary debating fraternity, accord
ing to an announcement made by J.
K. Horner, Oregon debate coach.
Mr. Horner is national vice-presi
dent of the fraternity, and former
coach of debate and oratory at the
University of Texas. This is his
first year at Oregon. After graduat
ing from the University of Utah, he
went to Harvard to continue his
study of forensics. During the past
summer, he took courses from the
Curry School of Expression in Bos
ton, and the Emerson School of
Oratory, alBO of Boston.
“The debate material here looks
promising, and we will have a good
year, if interest in debate contin
ues as it has begun,” Mr. Horner
profesied.
Basketball Pavilion
May Be Refuge for
R. O. T. C. Rainy Days
Colonel W. S. Sinclair, profes
sor of military science, is casting
anxious eyes toward the new Uni
versity basketball pavilion for drill
practice during the rainy weather.
“If we were given permission to
use this building there would be a
ruling that all members of the R.
O. T. C. would be required to wear
tennis shoes and put rubber pads
on the butts of the guns,” stated
Colonel Sinclair. “This is being
done by the Eugene National Guard
in the armory. A company could be
drilled very effectively on the new
pavilion floor.” Permission to use
the pavilion in this way has not yet
been given the R. O. T. C., Colonel
Sinclair said.
The R. O. T. C. will not drill next
Friday, because a large number of
students in this department plan
to go fto the Oreigon-Washington
football game in Portland. This drill
will be made up at the Armistice
day parade.
Members of the R. O. T. C. band,
who automatically become members
of the University band, will not
wear their new uniforms, said W.
L. Ferris, diroctor of the Univer
sity band, as they are not yet com
pleted.
Football

Color is a big thing in making a
good gate-receipt team and Oregon’s
eleven is tlusli with that. Much has
been written about the style of play
and the plays of the lemon-yellow.
Says the Seattle Daily Times: “Bag
shaw drilled his team against a team
of super-varsity players who have
Oregon plays drilled mito them.
Some of the plays worked, some of
them didn’t.” It remains for the
game Saturday to show just how
well Baggy had Oregon’s plays im
pressed on his proteges’ minds.

Summed up, it looks like a pretty
even thing in the backfield for Ore
gon and Washington. Washington
has Louie Tesreau and George Gut
tormson and Oregon has Art Ord
and Lynn Jones to send thrills
through the rooters’ sections when
they carry the ball. The Husky
quarter has had more press-agent
ing than Woodio and there is no
doubt in fairs’ minds that he “knows;

his stuff.” Oregon has the edge at
fullback with Jones probably the
best back in that line on the coast.
On paper, Art Ord, Otto Vitus and
Vic Wetzel look on a par with Tes
reau and Hanley. Trying to pick
the winner in the game is as useless
as wearing slickers, they’re all do
ing it, but half of the time it isn’t
much force.

' gratulating you on this splendid
'piece of work.
For the past 15 years I have had
to do with advertising, publicity,
and newspaper work, and from that
association I know that your book
is thoroughly sound and that it will
be of great help to persons and in
stitutions desiring knowledge of
good publicity practice. Professor
R. G. Reynolds of Teachers College,
Columbia University, conducts a
course in educational publicity, and
I am taking the liberty to suggest
to him that he make your book re-1
quired reading for students in this j
course.
A similar course is conducted at)
Ohio State University by Dr. P. R.
Stevenson of Ohio State and myself,
and I shall ask Dr. Stevenson to
join me in making your book re
quired reading for that course also.

“The Sesqui-Centennial exposi

have been transplanted. These are
small and will be kept green only
until winter. The exposition build
ings, which were only finished Oc
tober 1, are pretty but many of
them are empty or only partly filled
with exhibits.
“I also saw the amphitheater
where the Dempsey-Tunney fight
took place. I thought Tunney would
win. I wish I had had about $25,000
on Tunney and then I could give the
University a new building,” he
said.
Dean Straub attended the Centen
nial exposition in 1876. It was
about as large as the present one,
he said, and in a much better loca
tion, the Fairmount district of Phil
adelphia.
The dean recalled talking through
one of the first telephones, at the
exposition of 1876. It was a trans
mitter and receiver all in one. One
had to talk through the transmitter
and then hold it up to his ear to
hear.
“The day of the exposition is !
over,” Dean Straub asserted. “This
will be Philadelphia’s last. The pro
moters will lose an immense amount
of money on it as the visitors are '
not spending much.”

Dearest Anne:
Oregon vs Washington. Just
the mere thought of tomorrow’s
game makes me palpiate with
eagerness to know the outcome
and if it wasn’t for the en
couragement derived from a
box of McKillop’s peanut clus
ters (39 lb. Special) I’d be apt
to do something desperate. They
(McEillop’s) are preparing nov
el boxes for we students to de
vour on the train. Bather con
venient, I should say.
Going up for the game will
be so exciting. Leslie and I did
purchase for the occasion two
of just the most adorable chap
eaux imaginable at Letitia
Abram’s (balcony Wetherbee
Leonard’s). They are metal and
velvet combined and are to be
: had in all desirable colors and
; shapes. We feel that they are
an adequate expression of good
1 personal taste.

Carrying out the sport idea,
we each procured one of Ruth
Cyrus’ much exploited sweaters.
They are really too ducky for
words—regular prison striped ef
fect in both gay and sombre
colors silk and wool mixtures.
A perfect short cut to fashion
able smartness.

Next the all important color
injection, without which no cos
tume is complete. The answer to
this was simple for with Raup’s
Florist featuring the traditional
Oregon chrysanthemums it would
truly be inappropriate to wear
anything else even if the flow
ers themselves were not so fresh
and irresistable.

Babs and I have a bet on the
game. Stakes a dinner at the
Anchorage, It really is a most
amusing situation for we both
like to dine there so well and
under any circumstances that
neither will mind being the loser.
As an exclusive rendezvous for
all collegiates the Anchorage
stands paramount.

Am reaching Portland in time
for grandmother’s 45tli anniver
sary celebration and I am all
hopped up for have duly satis
fied all the requirements of the
event by purchasing one of the
most novel and desired of vases
in existence. It is of hand blown
Mexican glass and while seem
ingly rare is but a sample of
the unusual treasures which
the Alladin Gift Shop appears to
abound in.
* * *
Passed Mfletherbee - Leonard’s
today and as usual their stun
ning window enticed me in. Met
Helen Banks inspecting new
suit scarfs—hand blocked and
tinted—fearfully clever. She
did obtain one and poor me has
started saving and no wonder
for they are the last word in
collegiate chic.

Four barber shops on the cam
pus and still, a new one opening,
yet, the Co-ed (next to the Co
op) is always just packed to the
brim. There is no secret to their
and efficient service, such as
the Co-ed gives will always be a
drawing card.
Anne, dear, ’member the mar
velous feeds we used to have.
Everything so good' but hard to
get—now we still have them but
let Elliott and Underwood’s do
the getting. Potato salad, rolls
cakes, etc., all are supplied al
most as quickly as ordered. Will
write again soon.
All my love,
CAROL.
