Student Body to Gather
At Villard Thursday to
Cheer Team to Seattle
Send-off to Washington
To he Greatest in
Oregon History
BROOKS IS CHAIRMAN
Stoddard Urges Students
To Make Effort to
Aid in Success
The entire student body will be
at Villard hall next Thursday
evening at 6:45 to give the Ore
gon team a rousing send-off when
they board the train for Seattle on
their way to the Washington
game, according to plans outlined
by the directorate of the rally
committee.
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

Eight books requested by univer
sity departmental heads for use as
supplementary texts were receiv
ed at the library yesterday and

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

At Once
The famed Oregon noise parade
will be revived this year as one of
the features of the Homecoming

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

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.

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

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.

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.”

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.

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,

chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, na
tional women’s journalism honor
ary. About half of the 114 alum
nae are actively engaged in jour

journalistic work since leaving the
university. 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

journalistic pursuits after gradu
ating from Oregon, have filled
many and varied positions. About
a third are doing reporting of
some kind.
