Journalism Jamboree Starts Social Events Of Homecoming This is Homecoming, with all its welcoming of the old grads, and social functions on the campus are at their "height. The Journalism Jamboree, held last night at the Eugene Armory, drew its usual crowd as it has in years before. Faculty members of the School of Journalism acted as patrons and patronesses: Dean and Mrs. Eric W. Allen, Professor and Mrs. George Turnbull, Professor and Mrs. Ralph D. Casey, Professor and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. George Godfrey, and Profes sor and Mrs. Arne G. Rae. Breakfast for Student Body Presidents Held An annual event which is being held this morning at the Osburn hotel is the breakfast banquet for all past student body presidents who are able to come. Thomas Stoddard, present leader of the associated students, is acting as host. Dean John Straub is the only guest of honor. # iji Many Other Events Planned for Alumni Several alumni meetings are scheduled for this morning and the annual Homecoming luncheon will be held, of course, at Mc Arthur court. The game with Oregon State will, of course, con stitute the greatest thrill of to day's events. This will be fol lowed by the Order of the “O” banquet at the Campa Shoppe at 6:30, the reception at Alumni hall, and finally the two Homecoming dances at Gerlinger hall and Mc Arthur court. Many living organ izations on the campus are plan ning special entertainment for their visiting alumni, making the round of social events fuller than ever. * * * Campus Movie Shown The evening was a late one, with the showing of the campus moving picture at the McDonald theater, which started at 11 o’clock. A varied number of stage acts by campus talent accompanied the showing of the picture. Basis of Fancy Dishes * *• * Y Consists of Plain Stew One of Oregon’s returning gratis who is bringing honor to the uni versity’s name is Henry Foster, who received liis degree in physi cal education in 1023. He later went to Columbia, where he earn- | ed his master’s degree, and then \ accepted the position of director * of physical education for men at i the University of Washington. While at Oregon Foster was ■ prominent in athletics and student activities. He was a star in the 100 and the 220 yard sprints, and was pitcher for the baseball team for three years. Until 1927 Washington had no physical education department and Foster is doing a splendid job of building it up, having to start, as he did, from the ground floor, according to John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical educa tion. There are sixty majors in the teacher's training course which he has established. — M o u i es Evelyn Stumer, Editor at the McDonald— In "The Saturday Night Kid," at the McDonald, flaming Clara for gets to be naughty and assumes the role of a hard “woiking goil” in Ginsberg’s department store. As the fair demonstrator of ladies’ reducing apparatus she has plenty of chance to show just the proper curves for the fashionable miss. Jean Arthur, playing the bad little sister, runs the star a heavy race for honors, both in looks and act ing and promises to become a real actress. James Hall, the leading man. plays his usual automatic love making role. As a Don Juan he makes a good piano mover. » » » AT THE STATE— "Broadway Babies’’ at the Stale is a red hot revue show. Did any body say chorus girls? They come in bunches lake your pick. AT THE NEW llEILIti— "Wonder of Women" sounds as though there might be something wonderful about the fair sex after all. Lewis Slone and Peggy Woods show you just what it is in this romantic love tale. « « * AT THE COLON! Me— "Show People” at the Colonial is a slam bang comedy that will make the tears come, but not from weeping. Marion Davies is a good prancer, and William Haines al ways did have a sense of humor. * » » AT THE HEX— "Sailor's Holiday,” at the Hex. is a typical sea dog show, not a Marine in it. Which reminds us it is nice to have a few gobs in town during Homecoming. CALVIN HORN, ’27, ARRIVES FklDAY Among the early arrivals for Homecoming week-end was Cal vin Horn, ’27, brother of Dick llcrn, vice-president of the A. S. XI. O., who appeared early Friday afternoon. Horn was advertising manager of the Emerald and Old Oregon during' his last year on the campus and was also chair man of the publications commit tee. He is a member of Alpha Delta Sigma, journalism honorary, of which he was president and which he represented at the na tional convention. He also won the Portland Ad club scholarship of .jilhO while here. He is now manager of the teletype sales de partment. of the Pacific Telephone company in Portland.

Enforcements Listed Ite-enforcemcnts for the all-im portant guard positions are Hank Heydcn, Gilbert French, Sy West, and Ted Park. These men are all plenty good enough to knock the average lineman for a row any time, and the Aggies will have to sport a pretty classy bunch to cope with them. Bill Analer and Shirley Carter will be on hand to spell Eric Forsta at center. McHwan's sys tem requires a center with a lot of speed, and that is why these boys have been picked for the job. McArthur Court aud Women’s Gym Pressed Into Service Alumni and Seniors Will Dance Together in Igloo; Juniors and Underclassmen To Cavort In Gerlinger Hall TP1J l'> annual Oregon Homecoming dances, famed as the places where returning alumni mingle with their companions of by-gone years, and current undergraduates cavort together to properly observe the overwhelming of an ancient rival—or to banish the remorse of defeat in the wilderness of dissipation— will open tonight at !) :IJ(J o’clock in McArthur Court and Ger linger Hall. There are two dances this year, to avoid the crowding and confusion that has too frequently been characteristic of past Homecoming dances. The Oregon underclassmen and juniors will collect at McArthur court,^ where they will dance to the strains of Johnny Robinson's pop ular Varsity Vagabonds. The Oregon alumni and the seniors, who are soon to become alumni, will congregate at Gerlinger hall and .spend their evening there. An orchestra imported from the Ore gon Aggie carrtpus will furnish the music at the senior-alumni dance. This orchestra is said to be the hottest in Benton county, accord ing to Howard Page, chairman of the music for the dance. Floor Prepared During years past there has been much adverse criticism con cerning Gerlinger hall because of the stickiness the floor there has assumed after the dance was in progress for a short time. This year, however, that difficulty will not be encountered, it is an nounced by Bill Hedlund, who is in charge of the floor. The features for tonight’s dances, which are being worked out by George Webber, arc unique and appropriate to the spirit of the occasion. They will depict a family of very talented Home comers, back on the campus for the big doings. One member of the family is a very capable blues singer, another specializes in tap dancing, and so on down the line from the father to the youngest of the youngsters. Seals Decorations The decorations for the dances tonight will consist of immense Oregon seals, each 18 feet in di ameter, arranged with the light shining through them, Tt is stated that there will be sufficient ii LAST DAY!
