Jim Haley, rally chairman; Joe Freck, assistant chairman; Stan Brooks, director of send-off ral lies; Chuck Reed, yell king; and Shirley Hew, secretary, are organ izing a rally that will be an en thusiastic and noisy expression of the students’ support of the team in their effort to dispose of Wash ington on Saturday in the same way they smothered the Idaho eleven last week. Students to See Team Off All living organizations on the campus are requested by Tom Stoddard, president of the student body, to set their dinner hour ahead to 5:45 Thursday in order to have all the students at Villard hall when the north-bound Shasta pulls in at 6:48. “Next to Oregon State, Wash ington has always been our bit terest football rival,” said Raley in commenting on plans for the rally. “If Oregon can defeat her as she did last year, we will be well on our way towards another Northwest championship. Advance dope has never counted for much in Oregon-Washington games, and this year’s is going to be no set up for us. “Every Oregon student should be at the tracks when the team leaves, Thursday evening, to give them the confidence that comes with knowing that the student body is behind them to the last man.” Keith Hall Resigns The appointment of Keith Hall to the directorship of Homecom ing, necessitated his resigning his chairmanship of the send-off com mittee, and Stan Brooks has been appointed by Raley in his place. Brooks will have direct charge of Thursday’s send-off, and will be assisted in his work by Anne Stange, Ina Tremblay, Edna Dun bar, Virginia Peyton and Chuck Laird. Ken Hamaker is arranging for spotlights which will light up the scene of the rally, and also for special noise effects. Committee to Wear Sweaters Members of the rally committee are requested by Chairman Raley to wear their rally sweaters for the occasion. Virginia Peyton, who is handling the distribution of the sweaters, will have the bal ance ready for the committee members by 4:00 Thursday after noon, and they may be obtained from her at the graduate man ager’s office. The Southern Pacific is offering a special round-trip rate to Seat tle of $13.85 for this week-end, but there will be no official rally train. I Council Sponsors Contest for New Alma Mater Song Hamaker Committee Head To Select Successor For Mighty Oregon Sunday Concerts Proposed For Music Auditorium A contest for a new Oregon alma mater song and a series of Sunday afternoon campus con certs were authorized by the A. S. U. O. music committee in a meeting held yesterday. Kenton Hamaker, chairman of the committee, was delegated to confer with Tom Stoddard, stu dent body president, to arrange dates and details for the song con test. According to Hamaker, the contest will get under way in the near future. Competition for words for the new song will be held first, and then prizes will be offered for the most suitable and original music to go with them. The contest is being held in re sponse to long-felt need for an alma mater song which will be better adapted to group singing and more suitable for use at games than "Mighty Oregon." The proposed Sunday afternoon concerts would be held in the music auditorium from 3:30 to 4:15, thus allowing a 15-minute interval before the beginning of vespers. The university orchestra, glee club and band would prob ably appear in concert, and talent from the faculty and students of the school of music could also be utilized. Incidental expenses would be covered by a charge of 25 cents for townspeople attend ing the concerts. Members of the music commit tee present at yesterday’s meet ing were Kenton Hamaker, Flor ence McNerney, James Dezendorf, Ronald "Doc" Robnett, John W. Evans and George Hopkins. TEMPORARY TEXTS AT LIBRARY NOW Eight books requested by univer sity departmental heads for use as supplementary texts were receiv ed at the library yesterday and will be delivered to department of fices today. Several departments, including those of dramatics, household arts, journalism, and so ciology, make frequent use of this library rush service. The books, after they have been used as texts, will be returned to the library to be catalogued and placed on the shelves. The list follows: "The Art of Rapid Reading,” by Walter S. Pitkin. “A Stranger in Paradise,” by J. Anker Larsen. "The Infant and Young Child,” by John Lovett Morse, Edwin T. Wyman, and Lewis Webb Hill. “Dynamo,” by Eugene O’Neill. “Journey’s End,” by R. C. Sher iff. “Democracy,” by Edward Mc Chesney Sait. “Brain Mechanism and Intelli gence,” by K. S. Lashley. “Some Forerunners of the News paper,” by Matthias A. Shaaber. Louis Artau Tells of Summer Vacation in Hollywood Studios J.JOLLYWOOD, and especially the talking picture studios, was the scene of what Professor Louis Artau of the music depart ment chooses to call his vacation, during the past summer. Profes sor Artau passed most of his time watching the process of “talkie” production. He had the privilege of making motion pictures him self, with his own camera, of Mary Brian. He saw “The Chil dren,” Famous - Players - Lasky’s latest production, filmed, and spent a few of his leisure moments in watching John Barrymore do ing his stuff in his forthcoming picture, "General Crack.” Professor Artau noticed that studio vitaphone technique is vast ly improved, since last summer, when he spent some time watch ing the first feeble efforts of the industry. The process is simplic ity itself now; in the first few ‘‘Jazz Singer” months the pro ducers and directors had all kinds of trouble. The professor finds pleasure, too, in comparing pres ent recording processes with those used when he made phonograph records some years ago. Artau also spent a short time I in Baja, California, that part of Mexico in which Tia Juana is lo cated. However, he wishes to emphasize the fact that he spent no time in Agua Caliente, and saw more of Mexico than that pool of ^ iniquity, Tia Juana, ^ v Students Sloiv In Paying Fees Declares Cashier LAST minute congestion at the cashier’s window will result if the students continue to procrastinate in the payment of fees, according to Cashier E. P. Lyon. Only a few hun dred students have paid their course fees, he has announced, and over two thousand will have to be taken care of with in the next few days. The laboratory, syllabus, non resident and class fees are due and payable on or before Oc tober 26, and a late payment fee of $3.00 will be charged for the first day late with an ad ditional 25 cents for each sub sequent day of delay. Every student, whether he thinks he owes anything or not, is urged by Mr. Lyon to report at the cashier’s office. The deadline has been set at Satur day noon, October 26. Order of the O To Operate Grid ■ Graph Saturday Students Will be Able to Follow Play oil Board In McArthur Court Will Dance Between Halves And After Game Oregon football fans who are unable to accompany the Webfoot team to Seattle will be enabled to follow the progress of the battle in McArthur Court Saturday af ternoon, according to an announce ment made by Johnnie Anderson, for the Order of the O. A full gridgraph program, with dancing between halves and for an hour after the close of the game, has been arranged, and the Order of the O will sponsor the affair. Several improvements have been made in the gridgraph in order to follow the game more closely, and this week reports will be received via radio to speed up transmission. There will be no more interferers coming dashing in with final re ports when the game is still show ing on the screen. The Oregon Frosh-Washington Babes football game has been* ad vanced to start at noon, in order to enable football fans to attend the gridgraph later in the after noon. The varsity game will start at 2:30 o’clock. ASSOCIATION PLANS SERIES OF MEETINGS The opening of a series of Round Table meetings, to be held throughout the year in various eastern Oregon cities, was an nounced today by Arne G. Rae, new field manager of the Oregon State Editorial Association. The first two of these meetings, one to be held at La Grande, Oc tober 28. the other at The Dalles on the following night, are given under the auspices of the Univer sity of Oregon extension division in co-operation with the Oregon State Editorial Association and the commercial clubs of those cities. Frank Jenkins, editor of the Eu gene Register, who will speak at both these meetings, was chosen as the representative to attend. Mr. Jenkins will discuss “Making Advertising Pay.’’ Miss Casford Docs Literary Research A piece of research work, “Some English Periodicals of the 1890’s,” done by Miss E. Lenore Casford, periodical librarian of the Univer sity of Oregon library, is being printed at the University Press. It is the first number of the language and literature series to be pub i lished. I The article deals with the deca dent period in literature and is of interest to those studying the French influence on English lit erature, said Miss Casford. It took several years of re search to complete the work, and the magazines used are all quite rare and had to be borrowed from the Library of Congress, from Chi , cago, Stanford, and other large li * braries. . ,. m M Big Plans For I j Homecoming Taking Shape Noise Parade Revived for Friday Night Rally Prior to Games SEARCH FOR FEATURE Houses Urged to Appoint Sign Committees At Once The famed Oregon noise parade will be revived this year as one of the features of the Homecoming rally F r i day Keith Hall night before the clash of Oregon and the Aggies on the gridiron, it was decided yesterday after noon at the meet ing of the Home coming director ate. Rally Slated The noise par ade has been one of the most unique features of Homecoming- rallies during the past years. The fraternities and halls will compete to see which can enter the noisiest machine in the parade down Willamette street toward Skinner's Butte, and prizes will be awarded to those which come the nearest to shaking down the adjacent build ings. Roaring, shrieking steam engines, machine gun corps, and flivvers with log chains attached to their wheels striking suspended buzz saws, have been among the more successful competitors in past years. The noise parade was not held last Homecoming, when Oregon met Montana, but was re vived this year for the benefit of the Aggies. “Home to Honor Oregon,” the slogan which was first adopted in 1926 and has urged two Oregon teams on to defeat and one to vic tory, was adopted again as the of ficial 1930 slogan by the direc i torate. The members expressed the opinion that this slogan is clever, dignified, and does not car ry the possibility of future em barrassment, as did O. S. C.'s “It’s a Habit” last year. The members of the Homecom ing directorate are completing their sub-committees, and the | first of these will be announced the latter part of this week. A large number of helpers will be needed, inasmuch as the event is to be bigger than usual this year, according to Keith Hall, general chairman. Students who wish to work should see some member of the directorate, as it is probable that there will be plenty of work to do, Hall stated Tuesday. The features committee is i searching for some clever stunt to put on between halves of the foot- j ball game, according to Earl Mil- ! ler, chairman. All students having ideas for possible clever stunts should hand them in to Miller as soon as possible. Prize to be Given One important feature of every Homecoming is the signs which are put up by the various houses to welcome the alumni to the cam pus. A cup is awarded each year . to the house designing the clev-1 erest sign. The cup is now in pos- j (Continued on Page Pour) '• Traveler George Verne Blue, professor of history, has recently returned from an extensive tour of the Or ient where he studied economical and political conditions.

Plans Nearly Complete for Dad’s Banquet Members of Faculty Plan Informal Reception After Game Feast Prepared for 1000 By Committee Plans for the annual Dad's Day banquet which will be held in Mc Arthur court at 6 o’clock Satur day, November 2, have been ar ranged by Karl W. Onthanlc, Dean David E. Faville, Dr. John F. Bovard, and Mrs. Maud MacDon ■d, on the faculty committee and by Kenneth Curry, chairman of the banquet committee, assisted by James Dezenorf, Jane Cullars, Dorothy Eberhard, and Mary Ma larky. The toastmaster will be Bruce Dennis, of Klamath Falls, who is president of the Oregon Dad’s As sociation, and the principal speaker of the evening will be President Arnold Bennett Hall, according to Mr. Onthank, who is in charge of the program. At 5 o’clock, immediately after the football game with U. C. L. A., there will be an informal recep tion m McArthur court. This will give the Dads an opportunity to meet the members of the univer sity staff. Dean Faville, in charge of the reception, has sug gested that Dads, sons, and daugh ters meet there after the game. Mrs. MacDonald, who has charge of the food for the ban quet, is preparing for about 1,000 people. Dr. Bovard, who is work ing with Mrs. MacDonald in de ciding the seating arrangements, is also making plans for setting up a stage for the speakers, and for installing loud-speakers around the room. MORRIS DEDICATES SCHOOL Victor P. Morris, doctor of eco nomics at the university, gave the dedication speech for the new Wendling high school at Wendling, Oregon, Tuesday evening, October 22. OREGANA COSTS LISTED *{* *f* ^C* First Year-Book in Five Years to Show Gain Turns $662.23 Into Treasury By IiEX TUSSING Editor’s Note: This is the fifth of a series of surveys by Rex Tussing, associate editor of the Emerald, briefly outlining the di rection of student income and ex penditure through official chan nels. T ISTED on the student books as a profit of $1,895.57, analysis of the Oregana statements for 1929 shows $662.23 actual gain left in the student treasury above expenditures. This is due to the subtraction of the Kennell-Ellis fund of $833.34 and the subtrac tion of editor’s and manager’s profits, both of which will be treated later in this article. Income for the book came from three sources: advertising, $1,417. 17; organization page pictures, $2,069.22^ and subscriptions, $8,640.97. Ten dollars from sub scriptions for N. S. F. checks left income totals at $12,117.36. Administration expendi t u r e s (not including editor’s and mana ger’s salaries) were $1,062.09, and printing, binding, engraving, and copy expenses were $9,993.04. As sets are incidental unpaid adver tising, $175.00; books on which there is $2.50 deposit, twenty-five; one with $2.00 deposit; and twenty unsold. Thus we have, not including as sets, a surplus of $1,062.23. The A. S. U. O. constitution and by laws definitely states the salaries to be paid the two heads as “ . . . compensation out of the profits, if any, one hundred dol lars each, of the first two hundred (Continued on Fage Four) _ Oregana Goal Set At 2,500 Subscriptions Urge Members of Faculty to Take Exercise in Gym Demi Bovnnl Arranges for t'se of Gymnasium ami Faeililies Large Proportion Forming Athletie Habit All members of the faculty should not only be invited but urged to turn out regularly for the sports of their choice, it was decided at a recent meeting of the Intra-Mural Sports Committee. An unusually large proportion of the faculty have formed the athletic habit, according to Pro fessor E. E. DeCou, chairman of this committee, but more of them are urged to do so, and especially the new members. The school of physical education through Dean Bovard has most generously pro vided facilities for faculty sports after 4:00 p. m. daily, and will make special provision for those who must come earlier. The following sport leaders were appointed by the committee to help the faculty members in get ting started: volley ball - Roger Williams and C. L. Kelly; hand ball—Ralph R. Huestis and Don ald Barnes; tennis—S. Stephenson Smith, and Mary H. Perkins; hik ing John F. Bovard and Charles E. Carpenter; horseback riding Mary E. Kent and Ottilie Seybolt. In the moderate sports such as deck tennis, paddle tennis, ping pong, and badminton, Margaret L Daigh and Neannette Hermance were appointed leaders. Priice Contest In Advertising Is Offered Students Portland Printer to Give $50 in Awards for Best Solution A prize contest for advertising students, sponsored by Henry Haek, a printer of Portland, was announced yesterday by W. F. G. Thacher, associate professor of journalism. The contest is to be permanent in nature. A total of $50 is to be awarded each year, being divided into first, second and third prizes. The prizes will be given for the best solution of a problem in adver tising, emphasis being put on lay out and typography. This is the fourth permanent contest to be offered by an Ore gon firm to advertising students. The others are offered by McMor ran and Washburne, of Eugene, and Bottsford-Constantine and Ham-Jackson, both of Portland. TRIP BY AIR MADE BY PROF. KELLY Professor C. L. Kelly, of the school of business administration, made a trip by airplane to Burns, Oregon, on Saturday, October 18, as the guest of Stafford, Derbes, and Roy, a wealthy real estate firm which is handling the devel opment of greater Burns for the Hines interests of Chicago. The trip was made for the purpose of studying the scientific plan of the town that is to prosper with the coming of the $3,500,000 sawmill. Professor Kelly says, “There are unquestionably a number of fine business chances for a man who possesses a little capital. In asmuch as the amount of exper ience allotted to business property is limited to what the population and purchasing power will sup port, the man who plans his busi ness on a sound basis is assured success.” ROJANSKI IN ST. LOUIS Vladimir Rojanski, former math assistant in the university, who received his M. A. here in 1926, is now in the physics department of Washington university at St." Louis. Rojanski obtained his doc tor’s degree in physics last year at the University of Minnesota. Y.W.C.A. to Hold Dinner in Honor Of Marcia Seeber Northwest Secretary Will Be Guest at Informal Fete in Bungalow Interested Students Urged To Arrange Conferences A Y. W. C. A. staff dinner, oc casioned by the visit of Marcia Seeber, of Tacoma, Northwest di vision secretary to this campus, will be held Thursday night at six o'clock, at the bungalow. An invitation has been extend ed to all women of the campus. Tickets can be obtained at the bungalow for 25c. The evening will be over by 7:30 o'clock and will be entirely an informal one. Students who are interested in knowing Miss Seeber are invited to make appointments for inter ciews with her at the bungalow.

PHI BETA KAPPA W ILL ELECT SIX The election of the "Senior Six" will be the most important business of the annual fall meet ing of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity, which will be held next Monday afternoon at 4:50. There will also be election of officers for the com ing year at this time. To be included among the "Sen ior Six” is considered onfe of the highest honors that can tome to a senior. Although Phi Beta Kap pa elects a larger group to mem bership in the spring, the six chosen in the fall are supposed to have the highest qualifications for membership of all those eligible. Phi Beta Kappa, formerly had its election of new members in the spring only, but three years ago it was decided to elect the six seniors with the highest scholastic record as an additional recogni tion for their achievement. DRAMA STUDENTS PLAN TWO PLAYS The drama department, under the direction of Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, is working on two plays which will be produced this quar ter. "The Importance of Being in Earnest," by Oscar Wilde will be given by the Guild Hal^ players with the help of a number of out side players, some of whom are on the faculty. "The cast will be announced later and the play will be produced in the middle of No vember, probably around the twentieth, Mrs. Seybolt said. Members of the course in tech nique of acting are still working on Galsworthy's "Escape,” which will be produced early in Decem ber. Workers to be Lunch Guests Today at Noon Airplane Ritlcs Offered lo Representatives Who Sell Most Rooks Speakers to Visit Houses In Interests of Rook Today at noon, 60 campaign chairmen from every house on the campus will be the guests of the 1930 Oregana at a big kick-off luncheon to be held at the College Side Inn. The goal has been set at 2,500, and members of the campaign committee, at a meet ing last night held at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, expressed confidence that this goal would be reached by Friday evening, the closing time of the drive. Betty Beam is circulation man ager for the girls’ houses, Bob | Miller is handling the men’s organ i izations, and Alice Carter is assist | ing. These workers explained to the groups under them last night the outline of the three day cam paign which breaks today. Airplane Hide Offered As a special incentive to those working toward the goal, the book is offering to the man and the wo man who sign up the most sub scriptions during the first day of the campaign, a free airplane ride with the Hobi Airways of Eugene. Beside this, each house chairman who sings up 75 per cent of his or her organization will receive p, free Oregrna. Copies to the hous es. going over 100 per cent. Those working under Betty Beam and Bob Miller are divided into 11 groups. Each of these sec tions has a chairman to whom are responsible six or seven house chairmen. Instead of having students sign up for the year-book on a single sheet of paper, as was done last year, a system of books has been devised whereby much of the need less confusion of duplicated names and lost sheets will be avoided. These will be passed out to the house chairmen at the luncheon today. Posters, Prepared A staff of artists worked most of yesterday in preparing posters to be distributed over the campus. This same group will make the rounds of the classrooms on the campus today and draw with col ored chalk on the boards, appro priate designs for the subscription campaign. A ride in an airplane will also be awarded to the most artistic of these drawings. Speakers will visit all the living organizations on the campus while the solicitors are enjoying their meal at the College Side. They will explain to the houses what the Oregana is trying to accom plish this year, and urge every one to cooperate with the staff in leaching their goal of 2,500. Speakers at the men's houses will be: Eleanor Lewis, Jean Rogers, Lois Nelson, Elizabeth Strain, Ir ma Long, Jane Colors. Men to speak at the girls’ houses are: Jack Stipe, Don Call, Ken Curry, Stan Brook, and Tom Handley, i (Continued on l’nric Three) Half of Theta Sigma I>lii Alumnae Actively Engaged in Journalism tmOM Alaska to South America, * from Turkey to China are scat tered the alumnae of the Oregon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, na tional women’s journalism honor ary.

This is an unusually high percentage, according to Wilma Lester and Ruth Newton, who have just completed a survey for the “Matrix,” national publi cation of Theta Sigma Phi. “In other schools many of the women journalists teach after graduation or do secretarial work,” Miss Lester said. “As far as I know, there have been only two from our ranks that have gone into teaching. The others went into the journalistic field. Of course, some were married soon after graduation.” The eighty-five, who are defi nitely known to have engaged in journalistic pursuits after gradu ating from Oregon, have filled many and varied positions.
