* Frosh Team Scrimmages With Varsity * - Webfoots and Yearlings Hold Two Hour Clash On Hayward Gridiron McEwan Plots Attack For Willamette Contest Team in Fine Condition After Cardinal Battle Two hours of scrimmage with the freshmen last night gave the varsity a real taste of action in preparation for the game with Willamette at Salem next Saturday. This was the first time this season that, the frosh have been brought in to wrestle with the Webfooters. The scrimmage gave McEwan an excellent opportunity to try out Some of his new offensive forma tions. Several changes in the Ore gon machine are planned for the Bearcat contest. Their success will largely determine the mode of at tack against Washington in Port land, October 20. Strong Line Needed The line, one of the strongest the Webfooters have had in many years, is the center of McEwan’s tittention. The Oregon coach believes the real strength of a football team depends upon the power of the forwards. If the line can not open holes for the backs, the team’s offensive is spoiled. The line’s failure on the defense means the loss of yardage before the backfield can stop the opponent’s rushes. The Webfooters are fortunate, for there are no serious injuries as a result of the hard battle with' Stan ford. The Cardinals, however, are reported to be in bad shape. Wilton, Warner’s fleetest back, is out of the game for perhaps a couple of weeks. Mason Is Injured Everett McCutehan, guard, who scored Oregon’s touchdown on the first kick-off, was on the side linos last night. McCutehan has just had a tooth removed, but will bo back in uniform tonight. John Kitzmil Icr, fullback, was bothered with a sprained toe before the Stanford game, but ho is nearly well now. Dave Mason, halfback, was forced out of practice early yesterday. Mason twisted a leg in a nuixup with the frosh. He will be out on the field again tonight. The rest of the squad is in fine shape, and unless there arc some injuries in the Will amette game, Oregon will have its full strength against the Huskies. Running Attack Developed Oregon failed to gain consistently in its running plays against Stan ford. Tho Webfoots, however, out passed the Cardinals throughout the entire game. The California team’s yardage from passes amounted to much less than Oregon’s. The Card inals’ line gains were several times greater than tho Webfooters’. McEwan hopes to develop the Oregon running attack before the Washington game, and may even or der passes taboo for the Willamette contest. If the Webfooters are not permitted to forward pass against the Bearcats, they will have to make their gains on smashes. Dean Rebec Announces Graduate Fellowships Fifteen graduate fellowships, with stipends varying from $400 to $750, will be available, at Stanford uni versity on January first, it is an nounced by Dr. George Rebec, dean of the University graduate school. Thirty-six scholarships, ranging in value from $200 to $400, are also open to students in graduate work. Applicants in their second or third year of graduate study will be given first preference. Applications for these fellowships should be in the hands of the Stan ford registrar not later than Novem ber first. Forms for application may be had from Dr. Rebec. Those not over thirty-five years of age who possess the Ph. D. de gree are eligible for fellowships in economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, and allied fields offered by the .Social Science Research Council, whose headquart ers are in New York City. The clos ing date for application this year for one of these awards is December first. Undergraduates are urged by Dean Rebec to keep the awards in mind so that they may be planning their work in order to make themselves eligible for a fellowship later. Ancient Ramon Coin Over 1500 Years Old Received by F. S. Dunn Professor Frederick S. Pnnn, iiend of the Latin deportment, one of whose hobbies is collecting Bomnn coins, yesterday received a. coin that is over 1500 years old. Tbe copper coin bears the portrait of the Empress Faustina, wife of Antoninus Pius, who reigned over the Roman Empire from 138 to 101 A. P. This he compared witji a coin of a later date, in his collection, bearing the portrait of Faustina’s daughter, who was the wife of the famous Marcus Aurelius. The coin profiles represented both women as very beautiful, and looking so much alike that differentiation would be impossible if it were not for the fact that Faustina wears her hair on the toj) of her head, while her (bwighter is shown with her fair tresses looped gracefully on the nape of her neck. The women of ancient Rome, Professor Dunn remarked I humorously, did not change their j style of hairdressing every year or j two as do the women of modern 1 America, but pronounced changes ! occurred at least once every genera-j tion. Thus he is. able to date the coin. The Empress Faustina was so highly esteemed by her subjects that after her death they deified her, and erected a temple to her in the forum, which is still standing, al though it is now used ns the church of .San Lorenzo. This explains the inscription on the coin “Diva (di- j vine) Faustina.” The reverse bears tho figure of some goddess, and the letters “S C,” standing for “Senat us Consulto,” or “by decree of the senate.” A friend of Professor Dunn’s, a high school teacher in Tacoma, sent him the coin for his inspection. She says in a letter accompanying it that the coin was picked up by a student of hers'on the north coast of Africa and sent to her. New Coach. 130 Students Begin Year in Drama Mrs. O. T. Seybolt Plans To Let Students Build Play on Plot Skeleton Activities of tlie Guild Thentre will soon bo under way, according to Miss Constance Roth, assistant in the drama department of the University. Mrs. Ottilic T. Seybolt, a gradu ate of Grinnell, is the new head of drama on the campus. Mrs. Seybolt has been active in dramatic, work in various parts of the country, having at one time been first vice-president of the national chapter of Mask and Buskin, organization of collegiate players. There are about 1.10 students in this department, and Mrs. Seybolt is inspiring much enthusiasm with her ideas. One of the plans she is developing is to have the students compose their own conversations and stage settings on a given plot scheme. The University chapter of Mask and Buskin, with Lawrence Shaw as president, is preparing a play to be given in the late fall. The name of this play has not as yet been decided upon. This fraternity scored heavily last spring with its brilliant presen tation of “The Patsv.” Its advisors arc Mrs. Seybolt, Mrs. Alice Ernst, who has recently returned from a year’s study in the East; Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the English depart ment, and Lloyd Reynolds, instructor in English. * Tennis Tournament Drawings Completed The first round of the fall intra mural tennis tournament was drawn up today by Henry Nc-er, supervisor of the matches.

Committees Appointed to Make Probes Co-op Store an<l Infirmary To Be Investigated by Members of Council Action To Be Taken on Campus Chest Drive Bill Eddy and Edilli Dodge Head Two Committees Dissatisfaction with tlie present system of operating the University Co-op and with the University health service led to the appointment of two committees l>y the student council at their meeting yesterday to conduct, investigations into the existing conditions of the two groups. Tiio student council expressed themselves as favoring a probe into the profit-sharing system/ and other features of the Co-op and appointed Bill Eddy, Burr Abner and Bov Herndon as the investigating com mittee to examine tlie University store’s business policy and compare it with tflose of other schools. Others Pay Cash A member of the council cited several eases where university co operative. stores gave a cash rebate of ten per cent instead of a five per cent exchange plan as used in the loeal store. A committer, composed of Edith Dodge, Dena Aim and Chet Floyd, was appointed to investigate condi tions at the infirmary and dis pensary. Upon a request from Major F. W. Barker of the B. O. T. C., the council granted permission for a yellow “O” to be placed on a green back ground for tlie band pouches. Plan Laid on Table The campus chest discussion was laid on the table in order that 'mem bers of the council may have time to “sound out” student opinion, and to consider the matter. The plan was declared “right in yirinciple,” but not so successful in practice. Outside of the Y. Ws and Y. M. or ganizations, the only other groups entering into the drive question are the Bed Cross and American Legion. If the present system is retained, a special effort will be made to reach out and organize the independ ent students; lack of organization was responsible for last year’s some what unsuccessful drive, it was de clared. Attendance Urged at First Senior Meeting Tonight in Guild Hall All members of tlie senior class are urgently requested by Francis McKenna, class president, to be at tlio meeting tonight at Guild hall at 7:45 to discuss many important plans. “For one thing,” McKenna said, “we must discuss our part in the class dances to be given on the 19th. We want to have the best music and the best dance on the campus. “Then there must be some dismis sion and plans suggested for financ ing the deficit incurred during out junior year. This is something we must get off our hands as soon as possible.” The president also announced that an election would have to be held to elect a sergeant of arms to re place Tom Montgomery, who is not back at school this year. Possibly the most interest will be shown by members of the class in the plans for the frosh parade Sat urday. Seniors are to act ns cops, and the class barber, Bernice Kazor, will be there to see that the unde serving do not keep their mustaches. Commerce Fraternity Elects Year’s Officers At the first meeting this fall of Beta Gamma Sigma, national schol astic commerce fraternity, held yes terday, officers for the year were elected. Those elected arc: Wade Newbegin, president; Herbert Las selle, vice-president; C. F. Johnson, secretary-treasurer. Plans for bringing several promi nent speakers to the campus during the year were discussed. David E. Faville, dean of the school of busi ness administration, was recently elected to membership. Traditional "Hello” Discussed by Grads Visiting On the Campus Opinions Vary, but Most In Favor of the Custom Tlioro 1ms boon n g-oat deal of speculation and discussion on the campus recently as to whether the old “hello” tradition survives or not. Opinions seem to vary. Some would have it that we are still as fyiendly and democratic, as ever and that as many “hellos” echo over the campus as of yore, and others say that the dear old spirit is of the past and is extinct or rapid ly becoming so. “I don’t think that the old custom of saying "hello” to everybody you meet on the campus has changed at all,” says Cliff (Sheet) Manerud, ’:20. “Why, just as many students speak to me now as when I was in school, and I don’t know them all by a long sight. T didn't then.” On the other hand “Baa” Wil liams, a member of the same class as Mr. Manerud, thinks that the spirit has died out almost entirely. He says: “It isn’t the same, the old “hello” spirit, as it was when I was in school. Why, thou everybody you met spoke to von and everybody knew everybody else at least by sight and sound. It was a wonderful tradition, and I hate to see it go because with it Oregon loses some of her fine old “spirit.” And then he added, “But say, the spirit at the Ore gon-Stanforil game the other day was certainly fine. It. couldn’t be beat.” Bean Eric \V. Allen, school of journalism, who has been on the campus since 1!)12, thinks that while the old tradition of saying “hello” to everyone that you meet on the campus is passing, it is not to be deplored because of the size of the school. There were 700 attending the University when he came, and it was not difficult for students to remember all the faces. But now when there ate so many on the cam pus he thinks it is an almost im possible custom. He says, “I think the custom of friendly greeting to everyone is one that ought to be cherished but whether the word ‘hello’ is the best policy (Continued on Page Two) French Instructor Publishes Book On Count de Gobineau Professor Rowbotham, an instruct or in Freneli, who joinocl the Uni versity of Oregon fneulty this term, is the author of a book, “The Liter ary Works of Count do Gobineau,” which is now being published in Paris by the Champion house. Count do Gobineau was a nine teenth century French author whose work lias been attracting a great deal of attention in France since the war. Diplomat, orientalist, ethnolo gist, ns well as a literary artist, he was known before the war chiefly for his work on race theories, being one of the protagonists of the so called Nordic, theory. P/of. Rowbotham’s book treats not only of de Gobineau’s .literary works, but also supports his claim to literary greatness. Of recent years do Gobineau’s skill as a short story writer has been gaining in creasing recognition. Many Girls Get Jobs From Y.W.C.A. Bureau Calls for University girls to do work are received in great quanti ties by Dorothy Thomas, secretary of the y. W. C. A. She is the ono who supplies University girls to take care of the baby while mother goes shopping, girls to accompany the aspiring young musician, and girls to work for their room and board. “Last year $10,500 was earned by girls who received work through the Y. W. C. A.,” said Miss Thomas, “but this year we have placed more girls than ever before.” So far this year thirty-nine women have received regular jobs through the Y. W. C. A., and a great number of others have been supplied with temporary work.. Girls who will work for board and roonu are most in demand, though there are many calls for students to do housework once a week in vari ous Eugene homes. R. W. Earl, Oregon 921, Coaching Football at Monmouth Normal Robert W. Karl, graduate of the University of Oregon with the class of 1921, is coaching football at Ore gon Normal school, Monmouth, this year. Heretofore Oregon Normal has not had a regular coach. Bob, as he is known to his many friends, is a prominent insurance man of Eugene, but being very interested in foot ball, is taking time from his regular work to help develop a football team at Monmouth. He is a coach of ex perience, having coached tlte fresh man team at the University of Ore gon in 1922-2.1, in the Lincoln high school in Portland for several years, and in the Cottage Grove high school. There,are but four lettcrmen back this year; all tho rest will be new material; but under Mr. Earl’s lead ership the Normal team is expecting a very successful season. Bob is as sisted by Larry Wolfe, a graduate of Colorado college. The Normal has five games sched uled for tho season with tho follow ing teams: Linfield college, Mc Minnville, Ore.; University of Ore gon freshmen, Eugene, Ore.; South ern Oregon Normal, Ashland, Ore.; Columbia university, Portland, Ore., and Chico Normal, Chico, Calif. Big Increase of Sophs Noted in Chemistry An increase >of 100 per cent over last year’s registration of second year students in chemistry, is re corded by O. F. Stafford, head of the chemistry department. Upper class students have risen 20 per cent while freshmen remain slightly under normal. A growing appreciation of chem istry, in life, is the explanation Professor Stafford gives for this increase. Nearly half of the chem istry sophomore classes are com posed of pre-medical students, who feel that in the future chemistry will be necessary for successful practice, he thinks. An Editorial That Failed -By ARDEN X. PANGBORN It is oiu duty herewith to record the fact that we have j written an editorial which has failed in its purpose, failed completely, utterly and without reservation. The editorial was published in Tuesday’s issue of the Emerald under the heading, “Will the faculty kick through?” The idea it sought to express was that student and faculty should co-operate in the tedious process of registration; and the remedy it offered was the placing of faculty repre sentatives in the outer hall of McArthur court during the registration period so that the student would not be forced to hunt from one end of the campus to the’ other to find his future profs. We feel that the editorial has failed because as far as we have been able to ascertain, not one professor, not one assistant professor, not even one instructor has held it up to his classes as an object for ridicule. The success of an editorial generally can be gauged by the response it receives from those at whom it is aimed, whether it be an editorial of praise, condemnation—or as in the ease of the one in question—of suggestion. Ridicule is the rear line trench of a retreating army. We had hoped, therefore, that some one might ridicule the suggestion. But no such luck. Our shell was a dud and not even a volley of musketry rewarded us. It is possible that the effort was not read, as comparatively few editorials are. It is more probable, however, that it was (Continued on Page Two) Results of Tryouts For Symphonic Choir Announced by Evans John Stark Evans is still trying out voices for tho University sym and women's glee elulis nro to he chosen.

Eugene Co-eds Schedule Tea At Y. W. Friday Dances During Vacations Planned; Organization To Be Effected Soon Dancing and refreshments, “not ten and wafers,” will be features of thotEugenc University girls’ tea which will bo held at the Y. W. bun galow Friday (afternoon from 4 to 5:30, according to Helen Barnett, temporary chairman of the group. Two-hundred-fifty invitations have been sent out for the affair. Mrs. F. 0. Endieott, Mrs. A. II. Ross, and Miss Hazel Prutsman will chaperone. Both affiliated and unaffiliated Eugene girls who aro attending the University or who have attended for two years and are out of school but have not been graduated, are urged to attend, Miss Barnett said. The tea is to In1 very informal, no sor ority pins will be worn, and campus clothes will bo iu order. Charlotte Carl I has been appoint ed chairman of the program com mittee, Joy Ingalls heads the invi tation committee, Dorothy Bello En dicott is chairman of tho refresh ment group, Beatrice Milligan heads the social committee, and Josephine Stofiel is publicity chief. Tho organization plans a dance in Eugene during the Thanksgiving va cation and some social affair at Christmas. The purpose of tho organization is to have all the Eugene women students become better acquainted with each other, to promote friend liness between residents of Eugene and the University, and to provide opportunity for social times to those students who remain in Eugene dur ing vacations. Permanent organization of the group will be effected after tho tea Friday, Miss Barnett said. The stu dents will then have had a chance to become better acquainted, she believes. Opera Class Promises Good Entertainment Madame Rose McGrow is again conducting a class in operatic fun damentals, and with the pupils she finds enrolled, she is promising the University a splendid taste of opera. Pauline Guthrie, who distinguished herself as Melisande in last spring’s operatic production, is again in the class, as well as Ernest McKannoy, and Jack Dennis, both of the men’s glee club, and Madame’s class of last year. Of the new talent en rolled, Madame is expecting much, and particularly of Kogcr Pfaff, new student from Iowa, and a law major, with a real bass voice. Much enthusiasm is being shown by tho pupils, aud definite work on the operas will begin as soon as the voices are placed. List of Paddle Wielders Now Has 31 Sophs Names of Frosli Parade Walloping Squad Given By Committee Chairman _ I Class of 1932 Must Clean Senior Bench Senior Class To Supply 20 ‘Cops’ for Initiation 'Road it and weep, frosli! Rond below tiro list of 31 men, all members of the class of 1931, wlio will do all the paddling Saturday morning at tlie frosli parade along with the Order of the ‘O’ men. Read it till tears come down from your eyes as you wonder whether you will lie able to survive the hefty wallops that, these men will pass out liber ally. Stanford Brooks, chairman of the paddles committee, announced last night that the official paddle wield ers will hold a meeting today at which time it is expected that the chosen 31 will bo given a few point ers in ttie technique of paddling. No one but the Order of the ‘O’ members and tho designated sopho mores will be allowed to “hack” any freshman at the parade, and this rule will bo strictly enforced, Brooks stated. Sophs Give Warning When Francos Hill, president of the sophomore class, hoard that, the senior bench in front of the library had boon smeared with a ghastly coat of green paint spelling “19.12,” he immediately gave warning that the freshman class must take action to have every drop of paint, com pletely erased from the bench be fore 8 o’clock Saturday morning, when the parade starts. Heavier and more bountiful wallops at the hands of the paddlers will bo forth coming if any tints of green remains on the cement bench%early Saturday morning. Several upperclassmen have sug gested that tho frosh bo marched past the bench during tho parade to remove the dirty numerals, and crack a few pieces of oak on the paint-soaked members of tho class of 1932. Tampering with traditions layed down by seniors is a dangerous prac tise, declared Francis McKenna, president of tho senior class. Be cause of the freshmen’s erring ac tion, more half-inch pieces of oak will probably be ordered for tho skin-scalping affair this week end. McKenna also nnndunced that a corps of 20 senior “cops” will bo on hand during the festivities to see that the pitiless frosh are not given any unnecessary humiliation. They will also form a blockade against any unappointed sophomores or upperclassmen who attempt to harm tho first-year men with un desired paddles. Juniors Will Direct Tho events at Hayward field will bo directed by members of the junior class. George Moorad, president of ,the junior class, will soon name the complcto list of committees who are working on the field events. The “frosh-soph square mix” plans to be fairer than ever be foro with more opportunity being al lowed tho humble frosh to alight upon their sophomore brothers. Crutches, invalid chairs, canes and what nots may be needed Saturday evening if many of the first-year lads plan to make tho rounds at open house. It is expected that many of tho frosh will recuperate in time enough to at least be able to hobble their way to tho sorority houses. Tho linn for the parade will prob ably begin from Condon hall about 8 o’clock in the morning when Clar ence Barton and his cohorts will do their stuff at collecting dimes from tho mystified frosh. The paddle-wielding sophomores are again asking the freshmen to bring cigarettes, and most important of all things—bring matches. Paddlc-Wielders Named One sophomore from each living organization on the campus has been appointed on tho paddling squad along with Stanford Brooks, chair man, Coke Smith, George Lowe, and Windsor Calkins, official committee members. The entire paddle wielder squad will meet at the school of journalism immediately before tho assembly today to have their photo graph taken. The photographer re quests all men to bo thero promptly so that the men may go to the as sembly in plenty of time. Well—frosh—here goes the list of (Continued on rage Three)
