Tilt Outstanding Attraction is Parade Idea Many Stunts in Hands of Committees; Will Be Huge Affair LIST NOISE PARTNERS Journalism Jamboree and ‘Ed’s Co-ed’ Showing Will Attract Biggest and "best” are words worn threadbare in connection with publicity on campus events, but nothing short of superlatives can be used to describe the all campus pep-rally and noise parade to be held on Friday evening, No vember 15, the night before the Homecoming game with Oregon State, say workers on the rally committee, which has been au thorized by Keith Hall, general Homecoming chairman, to man age all rally activities for those hectic two days which will witness, according to Tom Stoddard, stu dent body president, what prom ises to be Oregon’s greatest Home coming. i Plans for the evening as out lined by Jim Raley, general rally chairman, and his assistant, Joe Freck, include a pajama-clad ser pentine from the campus to the business district, a noise parade, a huge rally on Willamette street, and the lighting of the freshman bonfire on Skinner’s butte. Hally Parade Organized The traditional serpentine will leave the corner of 12th and Al der at 6:30, and wind its noisy way downtown, headed by the band and the Order of the O. Paul Hunt, who is in charge of this feature, announces that the par ade will be known as the “pajam aree,” and declares all men will be expected to wear pajamas, the more eccentric the better. The serpentine will be followed by the noise parade, which is un der the direction of Stan Brooks, who was general chairman for the send-off rally for the team before the Washington game. Brooks has paired all men’s houses and halls. Two silver cups will be given to the groups entering the prize-winning float, and will be theirs permanently. Judging is to be on a basis of 50 per cent for cleverness, and 50 per cent for quality and quantity of noise. Chuck, Plans Rally After the noise parade has pass ed the Heilig theatre, Chuck Reed, yell king, will take charge and conduct a street rally in front of the theatre. Vawter Parker has secured the loan of two 3-inch field artillery guns from the military depart ment of the Oregon State college, which has offered to send trained crews to Eugene to operate them. These will be placed at the head of Willamette street beneath the butte, and fired at intervals dur ing the rally.

MORSE CONDUCTS CRIME SURVEY The survey of criminal justice in the state of Oregon which is being conducted by the University of Oregon law school under the di rection of Professor Wayne L. Morse, assisted by Ronald Beattie, a fellow in sociology, is well under way, according to Mr. Morse. The tentative work sheets for the sur vey have been completed and pre liminary reports are being made. Mr. Morse explained that the first task in the survey will be to make a study of all the felony cases in Multnomah county for the years of 1927 and 1928, from the point of arrest to the final disposition of the case, including the term served in prison. The main object of the study is to find out just where in the criminal pro cedure the cases are disposed of. Mr. Morse stated: “Our purpose is purely one of fact finding. We believe that before sound recom mendations for changes or modifi cations in the administration of criminal justice in Oregon can be made we must know how the sys tem as a whole is working. The study which we are making should shed considerable light on the criminal law in action.” In addition to a study of the fel only cases several supplementary studies will be made during the year.

The three of us set out to find Aimee Sem ple McPherson, to talk to her, and to take her around the campus if possible. And we did it. Bob Beck’s little green “whoopee” served as transportation, and Jackson Burke would have been the perfect ballyhoo-ist but for the lack of a megaphone and cap.
