Bock, professor of sculpture. The memorial, which is to be composed of stone, will be a prod uct of the combined efforts of the sculpture department. It will be in the shape of a monument and will incorporate in it the last finished work of Mr. Dosch, “The New Earth,” a bronze statuette of a nude man who has had his hands shackled behind him, but who, because of his enor mous vitality, has burst the man acles. Funds for the erection of the monument, which will be placed in the patio of the Art building, will be raised by students of the de partment. Any student of the department is eligible to help in the work and to hand in designs, Mr. Bock stated. All designs are due by November 23. In order to eliminate as much as possible the spirit of competi tion, Mr. Bock has evolved a novel scheme, whereby he will give a different project to each of six different students, so that they may use it as an idea fdr their working model. Anyone else who would like to is asked to turn in a model. After one particular person has been chosen, all participants will contribute their assistance toward the execution of the selected de sign, and the honors will be equally shared. GREGORY LEAVES FOR CONVENTION Carl Gregory, president of the University of Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, international professional journalistic fraterni ty, will leave this afternoon for Colombia, Missouri, to attend the fifteenth annual convention of the fraternity at the University ^>f Missouri. The local chapter is entering in the international contests for the two trophy cups awarded for pro fessional achievement for chapter efficiency. “I believe that the University of Oregon chapter can show a rating equal to that of any chapter in I the fraternity," said Gregory. "The chapter ranks high this year in all i of the requirements for both the : contests.” Alumni Editor Finds Canada Just a Little French Nation TRIP to Canada, visiting the three old Canadian cities of Toronto, Montreal and Quebec, as a delegate to the American Alum ni association, was part of a tour taken this summer by Miss Jean nette Calkins, editor of Old Ore gon, alumni magazine, and secre tary of Oregon alumni. “The thing that struck me as being tremendously interesting about Canada,” said Miss Calkins, “was the remarkable showing of French in everything. We, here in Oregon, think of Canada as be ing English; but there is a univer sity in Montreal where all classes are taught in French except those in theology, which are conducted in Latin. “Quebec is almost foreign,” she went on. “One can hire a funny little horse-drawn cab, or ‘fiacre driven by a coachman in a top hal just like those which used to b« in Paris, and go jogging, along bouncing up and down.” Another bit of old France which impressed Miss Calkins was the beautiful Chateau de Ramzay which was .built in 1705. “Even on the Canadian National railroad all the folders and menus are printed in two languages. Isn’t that fun?” she laughed, her dimples and her brown eyes twink ling, as she held out a circular with a recipe for cookies printed in French and duplicate in Eng lish. “While we were in Montreal we went up to the counter of the grand Hotel de Montreal, just for fun, and asked for the typically American 'lemon coke’ and strange to say, the boy very politely said ‘Yes, madame’ and then turned and began talking to the attend ant next to him in French. So, French and English thrive side by side. French is taught in the schools, spoken in the churches, (Continued on Page Fowl Campus Musicians to Perform Johnny Robinson’s Varsity Vagabonds, well-known campus musicians, who will have a full schedule this week-end when they will be featured in the stage performance liefore the campus movie showing next Friday and Saturday nights.

Personality Is Wish Of Washington Co-eds Washington State College, Pull man.—(P.I.P.) Freshman college women are more interested in the study of personality and personal ity development than in any other subject, if the results ob tained from questionnaires issued at the State college are to be ta ken as an indication. Several hundred freshman wo men were given a list of 25 topics for a year’s study in Y. W. C. A. interest groups. The five topics receiving the greatest number of votes were all concerned with per sonality and methods of develop ing it.

Another Chance At English Exam Offered Tonight Students Must Complete This Test To Fulfill Total Requirement Those Passing Will Be Exempt From Course At 7:30 tonight in rooms 107 ana 108, downstairs in Villard hall, the final part of the special re examination to ctear students who nave not yet fulfilled the entrance English requirements, will be given by Kenneth Shumaker, di rector of English A. Last Wednesday, the first part was given to 143 students. Two hundred and one letters had been mailed out to students notifying them that they were held for Eng lish A, and that they were given this opportunity of clearing their condition without credit by the special examination. To clear the conditiqns by examination without credit, would render registration in English A unnecessary and would save the student $10, the fee for the course. “None of those who took the examination last Wednesday have actually complied with the provi sions of the special examination program," said Mr. Shumaker, "until they have taken the second part, to be given this evening. This should be remembered by every student who wishes to avail himself of this opportunity to clear English A without taking the course or paying the fee." Mr. Shumaker announces that the following conditions must be completely complied with before the condition is cleared up: 1. The student must take the examination of November 7. 2. The student must take the examination of November 13. 3. The student must show con vincing proof on these two exami nations that he has reached the definite passing level. Red Cross Drive Launched Today Gets Full Support Living Organizations Will Act Separate Units In Campaign Every living organization on the campus will contribute as a whole to the Red Cross campaign, in i stead of continuing the old plan ; of . soliciting individual .members, as the result of a resolution passed yesterday at the regular meeting of the heads of houses at the An chorage. The Red Cross campaign, which is being launched today, won unanimous support from the house representatives who were in at ! tendance, and the discussion of ways and means of increasing the effectiveness of the campaign pro vided the main topic of conversa tion during the luncheon meeting. Dr. Phillip Parsons gave a brief address on the services of the Red Cross to the college, and empha sized the value of such campaigns as the one now being carried on in educating the campus in the interests of the Red Cross organi zation, Students and Faculty To Witness Varsity in Big Scr iinmageT onight John Anderson Finishes Budget For Homecoming 1929 Celebration To Cost Approximately $2155; Income About Same Student Tickets Necessary To Attend Luncheon The budget for the 1929 Home coming which was completed last week by John Anderson, finan Cial director, in co-operation with the committee chairman of the Homecoming Di rectorate, was approved by the finance commit tee of the A. S. U. O. at its reg ular meeting yes terday afternoon. The budget esti-j mates the expen ditures for John Anderson Homecoming; at $2155, and the in come at practically the same. The biggest item in the Home coming budget, both from the point of income and expenditure, according to Anderson, is the Homecoming luncheon which will be held at McArthur court from 11 to 1 o’clock Saturday. The luncheon will cost in the neigh borhood of $1340 and the estimat ed income from student fees and sale of tickets is approximately $1400. The two Homecoming dances comprise the second largest item on the Homecoming budget. Five hundred dollars will be spent for the dances, of which music, at $175, is the largest item. The in come from the dance will be about $700. The Homecoming rally Fri day night will require $150, of which $130 will be spent for fire works. Campus decorations for this year will require an expenditure of $110, of which the big arch near Condon hall will form the largest item. Accommodations, the welcoming of the alumni and the assigning of rooms, will re quire $30, most of which is for printing. The green and yellow stickers now being distributed on the campus come from this fund. “The budget is considerably larger than that for 1928,” An derson said last night. "This will assure a much biggej- celebration than last year.” , . Student body tickets will be necessary for admittance to cam pus luncheon, Anderson pointed out. The tickets will be punched at the door. Alumni will be is sued tickets to the luncheon when they register at Johnson hall. Al umni who fail to register, and rel atives who wish to accompany stu dents, may purchase tickets at the door. The luncheon will be over at 1 o’clock in time for the Ore gon-Oregon Aggie game at Hay ward field. Sale of tickets for the dances will be handled through house representatives who will be an nounced by Anderson tomorrow. The tickets will sell for one dollar each, the same price as last year. To handle requisitions for Home coming expenses, Anderson will be in ' Tom Stoddard’s office in Friendly hall each afternoon from 4 to 5 o’clock. No merchandise may be purchased without a requi sition, and requisitions will be is sued only to committee chairmen. Journalism Student in Infirmary With Cold David G. Wilson, Jr., sophomore in the school of journalism, was confined to the infirmary yester day, suffering from a general run down condition. Doctors believe that Wilson overworked on the Sophomore in formal and contracted a cold dur ing the past week. Pocr Pioneer Gets Company On Lonely Night rpiIOSE who may have thought of the “Pioneer" spending these cold evenings in solitude may be a bit cheered by the fact that he had lots of company last night. It was probably for the pur poses of protection that he was so honored, as his "guests” were the Frosh. Maybe he smokes at night, when none of the prowling Knights are around, who knows, though it is known that his guests smoked. If they will prove he asked them “to smoke up on him” we will not turn their names over to the Order of the “O,” for Inhaling on the campus. The Pioneer stands all the time and is therefore used to it, but a Frosh has just com pleted a four-year course in sitting at high school, so per haps we cun’t blame them for accepting their "host’s” invita tion to sit on the Senior Bench. We accept this explanation as we can’t conceive of any other circumstance under which a lowly Yearling would commit such a crime. School of Applied Social Science To Sell Memberships Dr. Parsons Leads Drive; Houses Asked for Five Dollars The school of applied social sci ence, under the leadership of Dr. P. A. Parsons, is organizing a membership drive to be held one day only, Thursday, November 14. This drive has the consent of the administration since it is not for the purpose of raising a def inite sum of money but for put ting on an educational campaign. The drive is only affecting the ad ministration and faculty members through the mail; there is no per sonal solicitation of students or faculty members. The staff of the school of ap plied social science with the as sistance of Dean John Bovard, of the physical education depart ment, Max Adams, of the Y. M. C. A., and Dorothy Thomas, of the Y. W. C. A., is conducting the drive. Majors in the school of sociology, majors in the nursing division and members of Alpha Kappa Delta, national sociology honorary, are also assisting. They are asking for membership and houses are being asked to take out $5.00. * OpenWorkout ToTakeForm Of Pep Rally Will Be Last Clianee To See Team Before Homecoming Cap MoEwan Urges Large Attendance Students and faculty members will have their last chance to see the Oregon varsity in action be MoEwan fore it tackles Oregon State in the Homecoming tilt here Satur day, when Coach McEwan runs his varsity and su per-varsity men through an open practice on Hay ward field this afternoon at 4 o’clock. Yells Scheduled The open practice will take the form of a miniature pep rally. Yell King Harold Kelley said yes terday. The band will be at the field to lend its help and Kelley will lead several yells during the game in order to work up some or ganized rooting for the Saturday game. Each varsity man will be introduced to the students in the stands as a special feature of the open practice session. Faculty To March "We want everybody to see the scrimmage this afternoon,” Mc Ewan said yesterday. "The fac ulty members especially are urged to turn out, and they can march to the field in a body from the Ad building if they wish.” McEwan expressed the hope that the open practice would lead to a better spirit of cooperation between the students, the faculty, and the team. Secret practice will be resumed after this afternoon’s scrimmage. STETSON GOES TO SALEM FOR MEET Professor Fred L. Stetson of the school of education was in Salem last Friday and Saturday, where he met with a committee of re search for state teachers. The committee, appointed by C. A. Howard, state superintendent of public instruction, met to pre pare a manual on the organization and administration of small high schools. This manual is intended to aid small high schools in the planning of subjects to be given and the division of courses to ob tain the best results. Professor Declares Shooting Stars Reallv Don’t Shoot at All j rjiHE question is, do shooting stars really shoot? Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the University of Ore gon department of physics, thinks that they are stationary, or prac tically so, and that it is the earth’s motion which makes them appear to “shoot.” This theory, says Dr. Caswell, is substantiated by the fact that every year there is a "November shower” of meteors, which seems to prove that the earth passes through a particular group of meteors. Furthermore, all the meteors shoot in very much the same direction, showing that it is really not their motion but the earth’s which we see. Quite different is the theory of Prof. Charles Olivier of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, as ex pressed in the November 4 Daily Science Bulletin, who thinks that meteors really move, although part of their speed might be due to the fact that the earth is pro gressing rapidly in the other di rection. He has asked all ama teur astronomists to count the meteors that fall on the night of November 14, for observation at the Pennsylvania observatory will probably be difficult due to the cloudy weather. It is believed that there is a cycle of meteor showers, which occur every thirty-three years or so, and that one of these showers is due about 1933. If this is so, ■ the November, or Leonid meteors | will be unusually numerous, and scientists are anxious to find out j how many are falling now, and in what direction they go. Accord ! ing to the Daily Science News J Bulletin, which is put out by the Science Service at Washington, ! D. C., amateurs can help in gath i ei ing data, if they will count the meteors appearing on November i 14, observing their color, size, etc.
