Yell Writers Lax In Entering Work _ Box at Co-op Has Room For Contributions — Come one, come all for the time to turn in yells in the yell contest now going on is getting short. The box which has been placed in the Co-op for the reception of the brain children of the campus yell writers is not by any means full as yet, and the passes to the McDonald are still good. In other words anybody who can or thinks he can write a yell which would be usable by the Ore gon students at football games, rallies, or elsewhere, can compete in this contest for which three passes to the McDonald have been given. First prize is a one-month pass good for two persons, second one-month pass good for one per son, third prize is a three-week pass good for one person.

Stoddard, in outlining the activi ties of the recent administration, emphasized the manner in which the student body debt, contracted as a result of the building pro gram inaugurated with the com mencement of McArthur court, and which was a heavy burden on past administrations, was removed this year by the floating of bonds, provided for in the constitution, whose revisal was one of the achievements of the administra tion. Other activities include the ad vancement of the athletic pro gram, including the new coaching staff and illustrated by the ath letic achievements of the past year. Following the installation, George Cherry, new student body president, presented Stoddard with a watch charm in th.e form of a gavel as a token of the respect and esteem of the association and its new officers. “I feel utterly incompetent to state what we owe to Tom Stod dard, and our appreciation of the work which he has done this year," Cherry said.

The plans will be submitted to Gordon Strong, of New York, a well known engineer and friend of , Arnold Bennett Hall, at whose re quest the plans are being drawn. Strong owns extensive tracts of land in Maryland, including Sugar Loaf mountain. He plans the con struction of a huge hotel on the summit of the mountain, to be used for tourists, as an observa tion point, since it will survey the surrounding country for about 30 miles, and for large conventions, particularly governmental. The whole mountain will probably be converted into a park. Prize Money Sent Prize money amounting to $250 was sent here by Strong, to be used in a competition in which all the architecture students were to enter. However, the school of ar chitecture did not hold a compe tition, and the students voted to turn the money into the school I with the stipulation that the stu dents decide what shall be done with it. Although the contest planned by strong did not mater ialize, five of the students have drawn up tentative plans for the Sugar Mountain hotel which they will submit to him within a few days.
