Art Students To
Erect Memorial
To Roswell Dosch
Professor and Sculptor
Gave His Life in
Service
Monument Will Contain
His Last Work
A memorial to Roswell Dosch',
who was professor of modeling
and drawing for the three years
before the war, and who lost his
life in the service, will be designed
and constructed by students of
the art department, it was an
nounced yesterday by Richard W.
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,

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

Doctors believe that Wilson

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.

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.
