Student Store To Undergo Drastic Changes In Near Future Departmental System To Be Used By Co-op Board of Directors Adopts Modern Method of Merchandising Each Division Will Have Separate Account, Cash Drawer Plans arc being devised for the departmentalization of the Uni versity Co-op store, which will take place about the first of the year, according to M. F. McClain, manager. The opinion of the board of di rectors is expressed by Day Fos ter, president, who stated yester day: "We feel that the growth of the university requires a more modern method of conducting the Co-op store.” There will be five departments, each one supervised by a clerk, who will be responsible for the business of that division. These departments will probably be ath letics, stationery, text books, gen eral books, and miscellaneous (pennants, emblems, confections, etc.). inventory t'lanneu An inventory of the store is to Id© taken and the new system will start with a separate inventory for each department. This method will indicate what lines of goods are advisable to carry. A new cash register has been ordered and will arrive some time in December. Each clerk is to have an individual cash drawer in this large register and his sales will be distributed to the account of the particular department. In this way any errors may be easily traced to the clerk who made the sale. Spencer Collins, C. P. A., who has furnished the quarterly audit for the board of directors for a number of years, will assist Marie G. Hadley, store accountant, and Mr. McClain in working out the new system of bookkeeping. Systems Investigated During the week-end of October 25-27, Mrs. Hadley studied the system in use at the book store of the University of Washington, which has been using the depart mental system for a number of years. Mr. McRae, manager of the Washington book store, believes that the efficiency of his organi zation was increased fifty per cent by the adoption of the depart mental plan. “The reason,” he states, “for this increased effi ciency is that each clerk is more interested in the progress of the department for which he is re sponsible. The store at Washington does a large amount of business with townspeople, it is pointed out by Mrs. Hadley. This trade is han dled by a separate department. “We believe that the system will greatly increase the efficiency of our store,” says Mrs. Hadley. AMOS BURG BACK AFTER ARCTIC TRIP (Continued from Faye One) glamour of the stars. He was a splendid comrade.” North of Great Slave lake fierce winds swept up the river. The voyagers .awoke at dawn to find the sting of frost in their nostrils Below Fort Simpson where the vast isolated clumps of the Rock ies bury their snowy summits in the clouds, they were marooned for three days unable to fight their way through the breakers. They thatched a driftwood wind break with willows and lay shel tered from the howling wind. Solid ice chilled the frozen ground six inches beneath the surface. On August 20th at Point Sep aration the river ranges that had bordered the Mackenzie since leav ing Great Slave lake rolled into the low delta islands, and the vast ice-choked Arctic sea lay before them. Here Dr. Rebec began his long journey up the Mackenzie to continue his study of the roving Indian nations. Burg crossed the Rocky mountains into the Yukon watershed and in a ten-pound rub ber airplane life raft floated 500 miles to Fort Yukon, down the Bell and Porcupine rivers. Burg arrived at his home in Portland about two weeks ago, and has been preparing pictures and material of his recent trip. While on the campus he was asso ciate editor of the Emerald, pho tographic editor of the Oregana. and belonged to Sigma Delta Chi, Condon club. Crossroads and Ta bard Inn. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta. 'It’s a Thrill Says Aimee On Fraternity Visit Jj^OR the first time in her life Aimee McPherson visited a fraternity house. It was inside the Sigma Nu mansion that she was first escorted, after fifteen members had been proudly seated with her last night on the platform where her evening sermon was given. Due to a meeting with offi cials, Aimee was unable to ful fill a dinner engagement prom ised by the members of the fa vored house. After being in troduced and after many auto graph books had been signed, she listened to genuine Oregon songs for which she expressed her hearty appreciation. Not content to let the Sigma Nus cap all the honor, the Kappa Sigs insisted that the famous evangelist visit their home, where she spoke to them telling of her hearty enthusiasm for the university. Dr. Barnes Speaks on European Conditions Dr. Donald Barnes, of the his tory department, spoke at a meet ing of the Kiwanis club at the Os burn hotel Monday at noon on conditions in Europe. Dr. Barnes has recently returned from a tour of the old world coun tries. He told of changed and im proved conditions since the war, especially in England, France and Italy. PAJAMAS, NOISE FOR HOMECOMING RALLY (Continued from Ptii/c One) the same time. Spotlights will be placed on top of the Heilig thea tre by Dick Givens.

All Classes Finance In years past the Homecoming rallies preceding the big games, | such as that with O. S. C. this year, have been financed in part by the four classes. This plan, which was in force two years ago, makes possible the biggest possi ble rally without cutting down on the budgets for the other features j of Homecoming. John Anderson, I finance chairman of the Home coming directorate, is making i plans for consulting with the ; class presidents regarding finan- ] cial assistance for the rally. Underwoods Highly Praised by Critic ******** Music School Instructors Present French Music By GEORGE BARRON extremely interesting “Eye ing of French Music” was given by Mr. and Mrs. Underwood last evening, interesting both in content and in performance. An ease of execution coupled with a pleasing interpretation of the numbers was evident throughout the program. The Cesar Franck sonata for violin and piano was perhaps the most interesting of all. The in tense, devotional feeling with its touch of mysticism, which is the essence of Franck’s later composi tions, seems to be at its height in this famous work. This emotional content was brought out so suc cessfully by Mr. and Mrs. Under wood that its significance could not help but be clear to all. The second group which was composed of gavotte and varia tions—Rameau and Sonatine—Ra vel was very charmingly done by Mrs. Underwood. In the first, the variations were delicately con trasted in tone color to the origin al theme in the gavotte, thereby holding interest until the close— something which does not always hold true in the performance of variations. The Ravel was partic ularly suited to Mrs. Underwood's fluent technique and delicate touch, the impressionism of the modern French school being brought out in all its subtle charm. The third and last group was the Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. 75—Saint Saens. Although this work lacked the deep emo tional feeling of the Cesar Franck sonata it is exceedingly interest ing from the point of view of its grace and beauty of melody coup led with its brilliance of style. It was performed with a finesse, a freedom of movement, which was met with utmost approval by the audience, difficult passages being rendered with a fluent dexterity that showed off the skill of the performers to an excellent advan tage. Societu Phyllis Van Kimmell, Editor Pledge Dance Is Given By Alpha Upsilon A recently reported dance of last week-end that was held by Alpha Upsilon on Friday, Novem ber the first. The event was in honor of the Alpha Upsilon pledg es, and patrons and patronesses invited were, Mr. and Mrs. Earl M. Pallett, Professor George Verne Blue, and Mr. E. L* McKinney.

It will be held tonight from six-thirty to seven-thirty o’clock. The affair is given once every term for the benefit of the foreign scnolar fund of Women’s league. Underwoods Featured In Faculty Concert The second faculty concert was held last night in the auditorium of the school of music, featuring Professor Rex Underwood, violin ist, and Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist. The artists gave a de lightful presentation of French music by classical composers. The concerts seem to be having un precedented success.

Eleventh street, she excitedly exclaimed, was “just like Paris!" When we first started on our ride, the three of us were a little ill at ease. We had just had seats of honor at her afternoon service. We had sat there and listened to her sermon, and we weren’t quite sure whether it was our duty to punctuate our conversation with "aniens” or not. But Aimee soon relieved our embarrassment. She talked about football, and frater nities, and airplanes, but not about church. She expressed the wish that her daughter were here. “We could all have a good time to gether,” she said, flashing her fascinating smile. When we stopped the car on Fifteenth street to take her pic ture she wrapped her fur coat around ner, tilted back her head and smiled another of those glo rious smiles. We were sorry 3he had a hat on so that we couldn’t get a picture of her very blond and very unusual coiffure. Then we started back to the ho tel again, where she was to meet several church dignitaries and go to dinner with them. As we passed the College Side she looked longingly in and remarked that j the ride had been a brief respite, and punctuated her statement with a fervent "Gosh!" We told her we'd send the pic. | tures to her when they were de veloped, and asked for the correct address. “Why," she said simply, “just address it ‘Aimee, Los Angeles.’ Goodby.” CLASSIFIED ADS LOST One pair of horn-rimmed glasses in black case.

Dr. Mez Will Be Women's League Assembly Speaker Women Students Urged To Attend First of Mass Assemblies Lecturer New on Campus; Thursday Set With Dr. John Mez, newcomer to the University of Oregon fac ulty who is already gaining a rep utation as a lively speaker, slated for the main talk of the after noon, Women's League leaders are anticipating a large attendance at the fall term league mass meet ing, to be held Thursday at Alum ni hall in the Gerlinger building. “We are expecting every woman on the campus to attend the meet ing," declared Helen Peters, pres ident, yesterday. “This will be one of three mass meetings during the year and they merit campus wide attendance. Dr. Mez is a particularly tine speaker, with a humorous, entertaining style, and I know the meeting will be an interesting one." M o v i es Evelyn Shaner, Editor - - - _ AT THE NEW HEIUG— Golddiggers who use their sex appeal instead of a spade, fat, elderly gentlemen who hand over everything except the gold in their teeth, whether they like it or not and a series of gorgeous chorus scenes are the high lights in the elaborate Heilig offering "Gold diggers of Broadway." Nick Lu cas and Winnie Lightner are by far the hits of the show. Nick plays and sings “Painting the Clouds With Sunshine" and "Tu lips" in such a way that one un consciously hums them in his sleep and Winnie, as the hard boiled, man loving mama sings in her usual expressive not to say gesticulating manner. "The Me chanical Mail” went over big and ought to be a good suggestion to spinsters on the campus. * * « AT THE HEX— The troubles of a man with a daughter to marry, and a plumber with ambitions makes "Wise Girls” at the Bex of great comic importance.
