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.

In "The Saturday Night Kid," at

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

actress. James Hall, the leading
man. plays his usual automatic
love making role. As a Don Juan
he makes a good piano mover.

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

Embarking on a aeries of suc

undertaking of its calibre, the
campus movie "Ed's Co-ed” was
shown last night at the McDonald

The film came up to the hearty
expectations of every anxious
spectator, and the actors were
highly praised in their work which
proved to be of the professional
calibre. The humor and wit of
Buddy and his affections for his
girl friend, the part played by
Phyllis Van Kimmell, popular uni
versity co-ed.
The leads were played by Verne
Elliott and Dorothy Burke. Every
