Invitations for a tea honoring
Miss Hazel Prutsman, acting dean
of women, to be given in Alumni
hall Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30,
have been issued by Hendricks hall,
Susan Campbell lfall and Thatcher
cottage. Because the student direct
ory was not out when the list was
made some names were omitted by
the invitations committee. Those
in charge of the tea hope each wom

Work On Signs
Ongiil To Start
Says Hamaker
Homecoming Posters Must
Be Completed by Nov. 23
For Bristow Cup Prize
Homecoming signs must be ready
by Friday night, November 23, oT
they will not be considered as being
in the running for the Bristow cup,
said Kenton Hamaker, chairman in
charge of Homecoming features,
yesterday. Work on the signs should
lie started at once and plans out
lined so that if necessary, a full
week may be devoted to their con
struction.
Buies governing the sign contest
are announced to be the same ns
wore in effect last year, namely:
1. Signs shall be limited to a cost
of $15.
2. A record of all expenses in
curred in constructing each sign •
must be submitted to the committee
in charge or the sign will not be
held eligible for the award.
.3. All signs must be in place and
finished by Friday night, November
23, in order to be considered.
Points on which the signs will be
judged will be originality, effective
ness, and significance.
The official, permanent Home
coming slogan, “Home to Honor
Oregon,” originated by Dean James
II. Gilbert, should be incorporated
into the signs, along with features
expressing the spirit of friendship
which is to be the keynote of this
year’s celebration. Such a combina
tion will be highly desirable, said
Hamaker.
Details of the sig-n competition
are being worked out by a com
mittee composed of Sid Dobbin,
Eleanor Flanagan, Dorothy Croath,
and Bill Wbitely. Letters of in
structions will be mailed to all or
ganizations within a few days.
Infirmary Population
Raised to Six Patients
Election day was evidently hard
on the student body health, for the
infirmary population showed a gain
of four over yesterday. The six
•students in the infirmary are: Mar
jorie Weseott, Winston Strong,
freshman in business ad; Bradshaw
Harrison, junior in business ad';
Clinton Millett, freshman in biol
ogy; Tom White, freshman in pre
law; and Dorothy Bussell, sopho
more in education.
'Oregon's Fossil Deposits Best
In Country% Says Dr.R. W, Chaney
That Oregon has the most re
markable fossil plant deposits in
America is the opinion of I)r. I?. W.
Chaney, paloobotanist in charge of
fossil study on the Pacific coast for '
the Carnegie Institute of Washing- ,
ton. Dr. Chaney believes that the |
University of Oregon should develop
the study of paleobotany a great
deal with such good material at
hand.
“Oregon has more deposits, and ;
they are better preserved than in
most other places in this country. ■
During the time that the plants ;
lived, there were a good many vol
canic eruptions. The fine soot and
ash that fell on the leaves before ■
they had begun to decay or become !
broken up, finally became compact
ed into rock, keeping the impression
inside. We come along with a ham
mer or chisel and find the print
when the rock is split open.”
Dr. Chaney has made a detailed !
study of the fossil remains at Gosh
en, on the Pacific -highway, a few
miles south of Eugene, in coopera
tion with Dr. Ethel I. Sanborn, as
sociate professor of plant biology.
“Oregon in the past as indicated
by its fossil remains of plants was I
a very different country from what
it is now,” Dr. Chaney stated. “The
Goshen remains are between five
and six million vonrs old, and the
remarkable fact about them is that
living plants most like them now
are found in South China, Mexico,
and the Philippines. The plants
originally came from Asia.” I)r.
Chaney pointed out that from this
fact we can infer that Oregon six
million years ago resembled these
countries and that it was much
warmer. The most common forms
found at Goshen include fig, per
simmon, jasmine, laurel and oak.
As the country cooled and changed
through the years, these plants
either disappeared or came down to
us in new form.
For one year, Dr. Chaney was
with Eov Chapman Andrews of the
third Asiatic expedition which went
to the Gobi desert and found dino
saur eggs and fossil remains.
In 1 ft20, Dr. Chaney joined the
Carnegie institution, and since 1922
has been located in Berkeley. He
is a member of several scientific so
cieties among them the Geological
Society of America, and the Pale
ontological Society of America.
Saturday, a visit was made to the
fossil fields at Goshen. Sometime
early next year, Dr. Chaney and Dr.
Sanborn will publish the results of
their study of the Goshen fossil
flora.

Increased Fees
Necessitated by
Mounting Costs
Addition of $6.50 a Term
Deplored as Necessary
Evil by President Hal!
A deficit faced by the Univer
sity of Oregon as a result of a con
stantly increasing enrollment and
a practically stationary income nec
essitated the raising of student fees
$6.50 a term at the quarterly meet
ing of the Board of Begents Sat
urday. The new ruling will take
effect the fall term next year.
Since 1020, the date of the last
millago tax passed by the state legis
lature, the enrollment of the Uni
versity has increased 84 per cent,
according to President Arnold Ben
nett Hall. During the same period
the income from the millago tax
has increased but K5 per cent, and
there have been no capital appro
priations that have survived the veto
of the governor. A material in
crease in revenue is necessary, Dr.
Hall said, if the University is to
maintain its present high standards,
and the addition to fees was judged
the only practicable method of ob
taining the increase.
The action of.the board of reg*
cuts came as the result of a joint
meeting of the boards of the Uni
versity and Oregon State Col
lege at Corvallis last week. At that
meeting it was agreed that neither
institution should ask the legisla
ture for additional support at t}je
next session, and that both should
raise student fees to meet increas
ing expenses. The addition will
bring the fixed fees at the two
institutions to $26.25 a term, the
same as is now paid by students
at the University of Washington.
“I wish to assure the public that
I do not accept this as the final
disposition of the matter,” Presi
dent Hall said. “I shall not cease
my struggles until once more the
tuition has been reduced to such a
level that the opportunities for uni
versity training shall be open to
those who have the onergy and in
dustry to seek them.
“It must not be forgotten that
for years we have been trying to
meet our mounting costs by piling
course fees upon course fees wherc
ever it was possible, and by increas
ing tuition in our several schools,
which must be paid in addition to
the regular tuition.
“For example, tuition in the
school of architecture and allied artH
is $60 a year, $30 in the school of
law, and $15 in the school of busi
ness administration, and so forth.
“I do not believe that the budget
officers of the state will find any
institution so overwhelmingly over
burdened and so much in need of
preferred treatment as the Univer
sity of Oregon.”
Among the other agreements or
iginating at the joint meetings of
the two boards at Corvallis, which
were passed on at the meeting here
Saturday was one whereby adver
tising expenses of the two institu
tions were to be uniform and rc
rjuced to a minimum, and whereby
out of state students were to be
charged a uniform fee of $.150 a
year under like conditions.
Eugene Vidal
Quits Oregon
Football Staff
Back field Mentor Leaves
For Washington, 1). C.,
To Continue Business
McEwan Takes Over
Instruction of Backs
No New Appointment Until
After End of Season
Eugene Vidal, head baekficld
conch nt the University of Oregon,
resigned following the California
Eugene Vidal
Raino at Berkeley
last Saturday.
Vidal left imme
diately for (lie
east where he is
engaged in busi
ness at Washing
ton, 1). 0., aeeord
ing to Captain
John ,T. MeEwan,
t h e \V e b f o o t
mentor.
The resignation
of Vidal leaves
Me Ewan with
only Dick Bceil, end conch, as an
assistant. No appointments will be
made this year, however, and Me
Ewan will personally supervise the
tutoring of the backficld.
McEwan Last of Trio
Vidal’s loss, although not expect
ed, does not come as a complete
surprise to the Wcbfoot officials.
The backficld coach, pressed by
business affairs, hesitated to sign
at the first, of the season fearing
that ho might be called away.
Captain McEwan is now the only
member of the West Point trio of
coaches who came west to Oregon
in 19LM1. Harry Ellinger, who came
hero as line coach, was not re-signed
after Hie close of the 192(5 season.
May Hinder Team
The shortage among coaches hits
Oregon at an inopportune time. The
team is in hard training for the big
Aggie fray less than two weeks
away. The Webfoots are still in
more or loss of a developmental
stage and Vidal’s absence may seri
ously hinder the team.
McEwan, who has spent, much of
his time with the lino ttiis year, will
now work both the forwards and
the backs together in practice. The
unity of this system probably will
assist in the perfection of a coor
dination among the players.
Backs Not Consistent
The strongest point in Hie Oregon
machine this year has been the
line. The backficld, although in
dividual stars are numerous, has
not functioned with the same pre
cision and consistency as the line.
Perhaps under the closer guid
ance of McEwan the backficld com
bination will como to the front
along with the forwards.
It will bo necessary to select a
new assistant for next year. The
answers to this problem at present
are merely speculative. In any
case, the appointee undoubtedly will
be one whose chief interest is in
football, and who is eager to assist
McEwan in turning out a winning
team.
The Oregon football team is still
taking things easy after the Cali
fornia battering. George Christen
sen, tackle, is the only player who
will not be in uniform for a few
days. Christensen’s injured ankle
is not serious, and lie will be back
in shape fur the Beaver battle.
Letter Shows That
People Off Campus
Read The Emerald
Tho Emerald evidently has a seope
which reaches farther than the uni
versity campus, as shown by a letter
received by Mozelle Hair, director
of correspondence study in the ex
tension division.
The letter was from the superin
tendent of the Bend city schools and
reads:
Extension Division,
University of Oregon.
Dear Sirs.
In the Oregon Emerald I noticed
that some special courses have been
arranged for Parent-Teacher groups.
I am wondering what you may have
in mind and if the work offered is
something that the Parent-Teacher
groups in Bend might be interested
in. If you have any printed infor
mation relative to the courses of
fered, I shall be glad to get the
same.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Vory truly yours,
G. W. AGER,
City School Superintendent,
Bend, Oregon.
Information is being sent, accord
ing to Miss Hair.
Students to Decide

If (himpus Interested
Students of the university will
dei-ide whether or not they wish an
Oregon a this year through the moil
Hon Hubbs
mm ot a suuscnp
tion drive, accord
ing to a decision
reached at a meet
in}; of the publi
cations committee
last night. The
drive, if unsuccess
ful, will be con
sidered proof that
the students are
lot sufficiently in
terested in the
year book to war
rant its publica
tion.
Plans have not
yet been made for tlio campaign, but
it will ho uiidor the supervision of
lion Kubbs, Orcgana manager. He
will work out an ostium to of the
amount, of money necessary to in -
sure the financial success of the
year book within the next few
days.
The dissenting vote of the stud
ent: body in the election Inst Thurs
day at which a proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing
for payment of the book through
addition to student fees was not
really indicative of interest in the
book itself, members of the com
mittee pointed out. The students
in that election were primarily con
cerned with the question of fees
rather than the question of the Ore
gana.
The publications committee con
sidered recommending the abolition
of the Oregana for a period of at
least one year and a motion to
that effect was proposed. It found
no second, tlio idea, of a subscrip
tion drive being substituted.
Horner Asks Men
For Best Efforts;
New Ones Needed
Each Speaker Allowed Five
Minutes To Debate On
Either Side of Question
ttegular varsity debate tryouts
will be held Thursday afternoon at
o’clock in Villard assembly room.
“I wish to urge every man who
is eligible for varsity debate to be
fit the tryout and do his best. We
need good men this year as much as
we have ever needed them in the
past. We have an exceedingly large
schedule of heavy debates with the
largest universities in the west and
every man who aspires lo debate
is needed in the tryouts,” declared
J. K. Horner, debato coach.
“A few men fi.-.vo misinterpreted
my motive in excusing a few old
men from the tryouts. -To date only
one former debater bns actually had
my approval to pass tho tryouts. It
dues not mean that, now men do not
have a chance. The safe thing is
for the old men to try out along
with the new men for I certainly do
not mean to put on the team every
old man who elects to pass the
tryout.
“It. would be a good tiling if a
few new men beat out a few of the
old men. Every man who aspires
to debato should fry out for we will

At midnight last night the

Incomplete returns lute lnsl night,

ing by a lead of about. 15 per emit,
ivitli no indication that the final
ratio would be different.
At the V. M. hut where Oregon’s
first radio “Itog Watch” progressed
until about midnight, .students sat
in quiet groups, listening with an
expression of calm that for somo
meant resignation and for others
relaxing satisfaction. Thero was
none of your hilarious tumult that
is usually associated with a presi
dential election—and particularly
with such a breath-taking landslide
ns the history-making Hoover
Smith race last night proved to be.
Walkaway Stuns
Somehow the stupendousness of
the walkaway stunned the students
i who reflected the dazed reaction
that tlie voice of tho radio described
as prevalent over the nation.
As the chances that the man
named A1 Smith with a genial grin
would take the holm of the United
States government dimmed, flick
ered and then died —tho genial grin
of the crowd, regardless of their
political sentiment, at the hut faded.
The students were keyed up for ail
unforgettable evening; they were in
a mood for the color and romance
that tho “East Side, West Side”
jingle has kindled—and they didn’t
get it. One missed it on tho radio
and one missed it in the crowd—the
size of whieii varied from 75 to
about 150 during tho evening. Stu
dents of both parties freely admit
ted that they were disappointed in
the anti-climax—tho election was
over too early.
Group Representative
While tho crowd at tho hut was
only a small per cent of tho stu
dent ry—it was nevertheless a cross
section of tin' campus’ reaction, de
clared several who had visited vari
ous living quarters during tho eve
ning. Many students were in tho
business district of Eugene, joining
with the election night crowd and
getting results there. In a few liv
ing quarters private radio parties

wore received over tho telephone. .
Returns at tho Y. M. hut, coming
in with a pounding relentless piling
up of votes for tho Ilooverites-—
brought little noisy response from

came. There was a quick hum when

Laiv Students Wax Verbose and
Challenge All Schools on Campus
Down in Oregon hall the law stu
dents study law. But occasionally
they do other things. Last week
they held an assembly all of their
own. Several students got up and
made speeches. In the speeches
they said that law students were
undoubtedly superior in every way
to all other students on the campus,
and that they should prove it by
defeating all other schools on the
campus in any kind of contest
which might be suggested.
Kichard Morris, law student, was
appointed chairman of a propa- j
gunda, athletic, and ways and means !
committee. An enterprising reporter i
approached Mr. Morris. Mr. Morris I
saw the reporter coining, and began
to talk when he could see the whites
of his eyes.
“ (io hack to that journalism
school of yours and tell them that
we are prepared to take on those
typographical errors up there in
anything from tiddledy winks to a
hog calling contest,” he shouted.
“And just to start the ball rolling
how about a football game on Arm
istice Day?”
By tliis time the reporter had ap
proached to within throe or four
feet, tint Mr. Morris still continued
to address the world at large. “We
haven't forgotten that you lowdown
scribes beat us_ in basketball last
winter with the aid of Scotty
Milligan.
“Wo can get up a football team
here on a moment’s notice that could
beat the varsity if McEwan wasn’t
afraid wo would cripple them all up
before the O. S. C. game. We could
make enough duck soup out of a
journalism team to fill that column
in the Emerald for the whole year.”
liy this time Mr. Morris was be
coming quite enthusiastic on the
subject, lie removed his coat, vest
and tic; opened all the windows,
took a deep breath and resumed his
harangue*
“And, furthermore, after we get
through with you, we arc going to
send Uiff Scheiubaum up to Alio
shack to seo that the story receives
proper recognition, and to see that
the linotype operators don’t get tho
scores twisted, as they have done
on several past occasions which wo
remember very distinctly.”
At this point the inquiring re
porter became very conscious of tho
fact that ho was registered in the
journalism school, lie quietly and
unobtrusively prepared to leave.
But there was yet more. Mr.
