Pep 'Assembly Igloo Today Pep Assembly Igloo Today VOLUME XXX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1928 NUMBER 2 Victory Spirit Continues to Inspire Team Webfoot Practice Takes on Is t Battle Aspect Before Cardinal Game Saturday Gregory, Sports Editor, Here on Northern Tour McEwan Drills Oregonians Against Stanford Passes By JOE PIGNEY The enthusiasm of Oregon’s foot ball team lias spread beyond the walls of Hayward field, taken the campus, and is now 'entrenching it self along the Pacific coast. Stan ford does not expect too hard a battle from the Webfoots, but Pop Warner and his Cardinals have not heard of the determination and growing confidence of McEwan’s team. When the Webfoot candidates try for a pass, make a tackle or run in terference, they do it with all the zest of a real 'football game. This indomitable spirit lias turned the regular workouts into battles rather than just practice session. Notables See Team. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the university, Burt Brown Barker, vice-president, and L. H. Gregory, sporting editor of the Morning Oregonian, witnessed practice last night. Gregory is here on a tour of the northwest colleges, and declares that the Webfoots have few rivals in the spirit to win. According to Gregory, who is known throughout tile country for his vivid “gossip” sport stories, the Aggies are the noisiest, the Cougars the biggest, and the Webfoots the scrappiest. Oregon has more than fight this year. It lias weight and speed which have united forces to make the team more sure of itself. In 1J27 the llae was fast, but too light to stand up for long under the steady bearing down of weight. Freshmen from last year’s squad are fortifying the regulars, and in many cases, shoving tho veterans onto the sidelines. Backs Are Fast. George Christenson, Austin Col bert, Jerome Lillie, Marshall Shields and Woodward Archer have all either secured a permanent var sity position, or are alternating with tlie regulars on the line. Several fast baekfield combina tions have been fit together by Me Ewan that should throw scares into t he Stanford defenders. George Burnell and Dave Mason, halves; Ira Woodie, quarter and Cotter Gould, fullback, are all veterans likely to start on Saturday. Nothing, how ever, is certain, because competition is so great that the staff cannot predict a starting lineup. T’ lino will bo drilled on of fens lays this week and the backs il spend much of tho time on defensive tactics. Against Pac ific last Saturday, George Stadel man, center, Austin Colbert, tackle, (Continued on Tape Four) Latest Thing in Yells To Be Sprung by Dads At Saturday’s Game “We old roosters Flap our wings and crow, You young flappers Make our money go!” This is one of the prize yells pro posed for the “Dads’ ” rooter sec tion at the University .of Oregon Stanford football game October G. At this game, the feature of the second annual “Dads’ Day,” the fathers of students will have their own yell section and their own yell leaders. C. C. Chapman, of Portland, who has been chosen one of the yell lead ers, is the author of the yell, as well as several others. Other “dads” are also reported to be working on yells an'd songs, and the student veil section will have keen compe tition, it is declared. Other yells submitted by Mr. Chapman include the following: “Ask Dad—he don’t know, and HOW!” “Sis boom Ali-h-h We ’re your Pa Watching you Tilt ’em through!” “We’re your block You’re our chip To it, kid, ‘ Let ’er RIP!” House Dance Rules Stressed by Dean Organizations which are planning to give dances on the campus should carefully observe the University regulations concerning dances, ac cording to Miss Hazel Prutsman, dean of women. Petitions for dances should be in at least one week be fore the dance is scheduled. There should be three chaperones, who have accepted to attend the dance, and one couple must stay during the entire dance. Those who wish to schedule dances in the Wom an’s building should see Mrs. Wil son, at the Woman’s building, one week before they wish to give the dance. They should also see the dean of women, Miss Hazel Prutsman. Small Toll Taken by English A Examination English A — what shudders and groans that course lias caused—how many poor freshmen have had their first year ruined by that plague. The exact amount of damage done ^ can not be estimated, but according 3 to late reports the reign of English 1 A terror is over. For the last two years 30 per cent j of the freshman class have flunked. This year only 13 per cent were put on the black list, according to pres ent reports of Dr. C. Y. Boyer, head of tiie English department. The only thiug that can account for the sudden decrease in failures is the j $10 fee, that was made the price for being dumb. Money evidently scared the freshmen into remembering de clensions and diagraming. The high schools throughout the state have also cooperated in giving the high school students a better foundation t for college English, thinks Dr. Boyer. Chinese Ex-Cook Bids A. T.

He still remembered the fraternity boys and the other day ho wrote them a letter inviting a wholesale visit to China. Here is the letter, written in a readable English hand: A. T. O. Eugene, Oreg.

The dormitory management com mittee of the University issued the following statement Wednesday eve ning: (1) “It was agreed that the dean of men and dean of women should ascertain whether a student is fi nancially able to pay a term’s rent in advance and if not, to admit the student to the hall on the payment of one month’s rent in advance, pay ment of the remaining portion to be arranged at the discretion of the dean of men and dean of women. In no case is a student to pay less than a month in advance. (2) “It was agreed that men stu dents working for board bo permit ted to live at Friendly hall without boarding at the dormitory. This ex ception is made, however, only in the case of students actually work ing for board and only for as long as they are so employed.” Infirmary Has Five; Four Have Fall Colds The usual fall colds have caused the removal to the infirmary of four men—Fred Stanley, senior in eco nomics; John Low, senior in biology; Lionel Lane, freshman in business administration, and Arthur Ander son, senior in economies. Elizabeth Plummer, sophomore in music, has been successfully op erated upon for appendicitis. Building Costs Total $550,000 During Summer New Dormitory to House 275 Men in Six Chapters Bearing Greek Letters A new men’s dormitory and five new fraternity houses, making ap proximately a $550,000 expenditure for living quarters on the University of Oregon campus, has been this last summer’s building program. This is the largest program of this type for one season in the history of the University. The new dormitory will house 275 men and is one of the most impos ing structures on the campus. It is located on Onyx street one block south of Thirteenth avenue east. This hall for men is divided into six chapters: Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, Sig ma, Omega, and Sherry Ross. Each chapter has its own entrance and -den. Alpha Gamma Delta chose medi eval French chateau style of archi tectural design with a turret at the front for their home. Their new house is located on Alder street at Sixteenth avenue east, and is the only student dwelling with this type of architecture. Alder Becoming Popular Alder street, which is fast becom ing Oregon’s “fraternity row,” has another new sorority house. Delta Gamma’s new home is near Six teenth avenue east and is colonial in style with large white pdllars ex tending from the porch through the three floors to the eaves. A drive way circles in from the street to the side porch and entrance. Delta Tau Delta owns a new home at Nineteenth avenue cast and University street. This house is an English design and is built around a court with an eastern view. This year Sigma Kappa sorority ^Continued on Page Two^ Little Sisters Frolic Little sisters got wise to many things of the campus yesterday when they and their Big Sisters joined in the fun-making at the “Get Wise” party at the Woman’s building from 3 to 5. Honor organizations and other groups of women students on the campus were explained to them and they were told how they might be come members of these societies. The purpose of the party, which is an annual affair, was to afford an opportunity for new women students to become better acquainted with others. Features were presented, one an apache dance by Virginia Moore and Dorothy Burke who were ac companied by Marjorie Clark. Madge Normile, blues singer, gave three numbers. She was accompanied on the piano by Josephine Balston. The trio from last year’s Junior Vodvil also entertained with several songs. Marjorie Clark, Louise Stor la and Josephine Balston compose the trio. Befreshments of eider and dough nuts were served during the after noon. Dancing was among the fea tures that created liveliness and helped the new students to meet others. With Big Ones at “Get Wise Party99 Students Urged To Try Out for New Symphony Chorus of 100 to Appear In Portland Symphony Under Van Hoogstraten Tryouts for a University sym phony chorus of 100 voices, a new venture of the school of music this year, began last evening at 5 o’clock in the music building. The chorus practice will be under the direction of 'John Stark Evans, who declares himself eager for the task since his vacation in Japan this summer. Although the practice was sched uled for Wednesday evening, Mr. Evans decided that due to a light turnout on the opening evening it would be best to extend the time until Thursday night, October 4. To Select Chorus Mr. Evans will select 50 men and 50 women, most truly representative of the vocal talent in the University of Oregon, to form a symphony chorus which will appear at Port land in March with the Portland symphony orchestra, under the di rection of Wilhelm van Hoogstraten. Tryouts will be continued this eve uing in the music building at 7:15. Ail those who have any possibility of placing on the chorus are strong ly urged by Mr. Evans to turn out for there arc 100 people needed to complete the venture now planned. It is well conceded that no one is more competent than Mr. Evans to make a success of an undertaking which will prove to bo such good advertising for the University of Oregon. Mr. Evans would like at least 400 voices to try out. Chorus Distinctive This chorus will be the most dis tinctive thing ever done by the University school of music. From this selected chorus John Stark Evans will later choose "0 men and dO women for the glee clubs. Mr. Evans’ assistant this year will be Roy Breyson, baritone, graduate of the University with the class of ’JO, who has been in New York the past two years studying with Percy hec tor Stevens, the teacher of Beinald Werrenrath. Mr. Breyson will take the place of Eugene Carr. Journalism Book by Dean Allen Published “Printing for the Journalists,” a book by Dean Erie W. Allen, of the school of journalism, has been edited and published and is now being used as a textbook in the publishing and printing classes of the Uni versity. According to its author it is the first book of its kind and is already beginning to pay for itself. The volume covers in detail every pro cess in the manufacture of a news paper, explaining the duties of copyreader, copyeutter, compositor, proofreader, make-up editor, and pressman, together with the possi bilities and limitations of their me chanical equipment, and the inter relation of all those factors with the reporter and the reader. Dean Allen designed the book especially for journalism students and the cub, but it contains information of interest and value to anyone who wishes to read newspapers intelligently. Fight Rally to Be Featured At Assembly McArthur Court Session Scheduled for Snappy Card Game Pep Fest Organizations Pledge Wholehearted Support Taking of. Student Body Photograph to Follow “Every Oregon man and woman must be at McArthur court at 11 o’clock this morning to attend the big Oregon figlit assembly,” says Joe McKeoivn, president of the stu dent body. “There will be no cl ceptions.” “The football men will be tliero with the real Oregon spirit and they want to see if the students have it,” Bill Eddy, chairman of the rally and pep committee, said. There will be a snappy program that will keep every person in tlio building interested, McKeown prom ises.

Short talks will be given by Presi dent Arnold Bennett Hall, Joe Mc Keown, Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, and the captain of the football squad and an alumnus will also speak to the students for a few moments. Parks Will Lead As a further inducement to the students, “Squeak” Parks, yell lender, has arranged to have pamph lets containing the Oregon songs and yells given to the students. With these as an incentive Parks expects to' have the roof of tho Igloo lifted with yells, and still more yells. Oregon songs will be the next thing on the program with tho stu dents led by the glee clubs. Plans for a big rally parade Sat urday will be announced by Mc Keovvn. Final preparations for Dads’ Day and for Oregon’s first conference football game will bo completed at the assembly, and Jack Beneficl will make a brief announce ment about the tickets for the big game Saturday. Organizations Enthusiastic At a meeting held in Johnson hall last evening, fraternity presidents and dormitory officers promised that their respective organizations would support the assembly one hundred per cent. Tho group was addressed by Mr. On-thank, Bill Eddy, and “Squeak” Parks, all of whom stressed the importance of heavy attendance if the assembly is to be a success. Oregon Knights will be on the campus in full regalia this morning to see that all the students find their way to McArthur court, add ing a little pressure if necessary. The assembly will be dismissed ten minutes early so that a picture of the student body can be taken. Im mediately after the rally closes the students will go down University street to the Woman’s building where the panoramic picture will be taken. The camera will bo all set up and places marked off so that the whole proceeding will take only a few minutes. Order of the “O” men will be there to see that every one gets in tho picture. Hagstrom Appointed To University Position Leonard Ilagstrom has been ap pointed by the registrar, Earl M. Pallett, as the University editor.
