UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1930
VOLUME XXXII
NUMBER 10
Oregana Drive
Sets New Mark
Of 1300 Sales
All Records for First Day
Broken as Campaign
Gets Under Way
Fourteen Houses Sign Up
100 Per Cent; Quota
Set at 2000
With more than 1300 copies sold
already, and 14 houses signed up
100 per cent, the Oregana sales
campaign got under way yester
day and broke all records for the
first 24 hours of the drive. The
work will go on today and tomor
row in all parts of the campus,
and it is expected that by tomor
row a new high mark in the num
ber of orders turned in will have
been reached.
* Thursday will be the last day of
the drive. Bill Pittman and Alice
Carter, circulation managers, have
set for this year a goal .of 2000
books, to be sold by that time.
Prizes to Be Given
Eleven sororities and three fra
ternities had sold 1931 Oreganas
to all of their members, according
to reports submitted at a meeting
held last night. Kappa Delta and
Phi Kappa Psi were the first
houses to go over 100 per cent,
winning the two prizes offered.
The nature of the prizes will be
decided on later in the week, it
is announced by Roger Bailey,
business manager.
At the meeting last night, those
in charge of the drive expressed
confidence that the sales this fall
will far exceed those of any pre
vious year. Already the number
of orders sold is almost equal to
the entire number signed up last
year, in three successive drives.
This year only one drive will be
put over, and the last of the orders
f will be turned in this week.
Cost to Go on Fees
“With the start already made,
and the enthusiasm being shown
by the Oregana representatives,
everything is in line for a record
number of sales before the close
of the campaign,’’ Pittman said
last night. “The enlarged size and
new features which are planned
this year have been determining
factors in the early success of the
sale. The system of adding the
cost of the book to winter and
spring term fees is a payment plan
which seems to meet with the ap
proval of the students.”
George Cherry, A. S. U. O. pres
ident, spoke briefly to the repre
sentatives, pointing out that the
Oregana last spring won national
recognition from the artistic
standpoint, and stressing the need
for student support in order to put
out a yearbook which will con
tinue to reflect the new progress
g of the University in every field.
Larger Book Planned
Henrietta Steinke, editor, in out
lining her plans for the 1931 num
ber, has added 75 pages to the
length of the books of previous
years. In the art work an Alas
kan theme will be carried out.
Houses which had reached the
100 per cent mark before the time
of the meeting last night are
Kappa Delta, Chi Omega, Alpha
Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta,
Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Kappa
Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gam

Committee Gives
Violators of Law
Rigid Penalties
The student advisory committee
today assessed penalties upon cer
tain students who were involved
in an automobile ride on which
liquor was consumed, as follows:
An upper classman who provid
ed the car and secured the liquor
was suspended from the Univer
sity for a quarter, his return con
ditioned upon good behavior during
the interval. If he is permitted to
i etum he is to be on disciplinary
probation for the next two terms
and the privilege of having a car
at the University is denied so long
is he is an undergraduate.
A freshman was placed on dis
ciplinary probation for the aca
demic year which action compels
his withdrawal from student of
fice.
A freshman girl and a sopho
more girl were each placed on dis
ciplinary probation for the year.
It was said that the episode oc
curred as a result of a desire for
a celebration after a recent cam
pus election. The use of liquor in
connection with such celebrations,
as at all other times, is regarded
by the committee as improper con
duct on the part of University stu
dents and meriting severe discip
linary action. It was explained
that in view of the fact that there
was no evidence of disorderly con
duct and the previous records of
these students had apparently
been good and that the normal
penalty of at least suspension was
not imposed on the underclass
members of the party.
Junior Class Will

At Yillard Today
Class Members Are Urged
To Cast Ballots in
Filling Vacancy
Today, the junior class will elect
a secretary, according to Art Pot
win, president of the class. The
slection will be held in Villard hall
and the polls will be open from 9
i. m. until 3 this afternoon.
The candidates for the office
ire Marie Meyers and Carol Hurl
burt. Every member of the class
is urged to cast his vote in filling
the vacancy left when Alice Win
gate, elected secretary of the class
last spring, failed to return to
school.
The members of the election
board are Kelsey Slocum, chair
man; Dorothy Mutzig, Tommy
Blake, Mildred Collins, Virgihia
Srove, Esther Kaser, Helen Cha
ney, Alexis Lyle, and Lois Mur
phy.
Freslimen Interested in
Y.M.C.A. Work To Meet
All freshmen on the campus who
have had contact with the Y. M.
C. A. or Hi Y clubs in high school
are to meet in the Y hut on the
:ampus today at 5 o'clock. Pre
liminary organization of the com
mission cabinet will be attempted.
The Frosh Commission is a
service organization on the cam
pus helping with many activities
during the year. According to a
check made by the Y. M. C. A.
administration, there are more
men on the campus who have had
contact with the Y than ever be
fore.
Freshmen Don Traditional
Lids; Unaware of Honor
This morning the newly caught
frosh will bow their heads most
^ humbly and don the small green
lids that are a symbol of their in
experience and unimportance.
But once upon a time the frosh
fought for the HONOR of wearing
Ihis same green cap. They fought
with iron handcuffs, shackles, for
an hour or more . . . and the fresh
men won. They were allowed the
privilege of wearing the hat that
was to mark them apart from the
rest of the school.
The first reference to the fight
for the lid on the Oregon campus
appeared in the Oregon Weekly
for Jan. 26. 1903, which read:
“The freshmen are in a quan
dary. They have sent in their or
| der for a lot of little caps. If they
get to wear them it looks as if they
would have to fight for the privi
lege.”
They did have to fight. The
sophomores issued a mandate re
fusing them the right to wear the
caps.
Led by the burley center of the
football team, one Harry McKin
ney, the frosh defied their super
ior classmates . . . and had no op
position.
In 1904 a cap rush occurred, in
which the sophomores were worst
ed by the freshmen.
The fight was so deadly that
sophomores were sent hurtling
through the windows of Villard,
and the next year it was worse.
By 1910, however, they were not
only allowed to wear the green
lids, but all who did not were con
demned. Now they are not only
condemned; they are paddled.
Four Chosen
To Contest In
Rhodes Exam
Cox. Huhlerinan, Jackson,
Wilson Are Winners,
Rebec Announces
District System of Awards
Will Be Used for Further
Competition This Year
The winners of the 1931 Rhodes
scholarship examination for the
University of Oregon, as an
nounced late yesterday afternoon
by Dean George Rebec, chairman
of the committee, are John Cox,
Robert Jackson, John Halderman,
and David Wilson.
Cox and Jackson were candi
dates in the state competition last
year.
“The committee,” said Dean
Rebec in announcing the winners,
“experienced great hesitancy in
omitting several of the contest
ants, who were found to be only
slightly less worthy of the honor
which these young men have won.
Three candidates were rejected for
failure to file their applications in
time for the committee to prepare
the documentation of their educa
tion, while four others were re
jected on their lack of a full year’s
residence at the University. The
committee is highly satisfied with
the representatives for the 1931
state examination.”
Candidates Listed
Cox is a part time assistant in
history and social science survey.
He also will receive his degree in
history this coming June. He lives
in Springfield.
Bob Jackson is part time as
sistant to Dr. Milne in the mathe
matics department, and will re
ceive his M.A. this year.
Dave Wilson is a junior in jour
nalism. He graduated from Lin
coln high in .Portland, and belongs
to Sigma Delta Chi, journalism
honorary, and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
John Halderman comes from
Astoria, and is a second-year stu
dent in law. He is a Sigma Nu.
According to Dean Rebec, a
change in the manner of deter
mining the award of the scholar
ships may increase the chances of
the Oregon entrants to win. For
merly one candidate was elected
from each state, two in every
three years. The year lapse would
have occurred next year.
Under the new provisions, four
scholarships are awarded to every
geographical group of six states
every year. Two winners are se
lected in the state examinations,
and these compete with the two
winners from Idaho, Washington,
Montana, Wyoming, and North
Dakota. Of the 12, four are
chosen. Each receives $1960 yearly
for three years and tuition at Ox
ford.

Promises Dance
Turnout To Be Big
Several Hundred Students
Expected T^» Come
From Seattle
Students at the University of
Washington will cooperate in ev
ery way to insure the success of
the annual Oregon-Washington
football dance, to be held at the
Masonic Temple ballroom in Port
land Saturday night, a message
received from Girton Viereck,
president of the Associated Stu
dents of the University of Wash
ington, stated. It is expected that
several hundred Washington stu
dents will be in Portland to attend
the game and the dance.
The annual affair is expected to
be even better than in past years,
according to Jim Travis, chairman
of the Oregon committee. George
Weber and his nine-piece orches
tra will furnish the music and nov

floor is large enough to accom
modate the big crowd expected for
the affair, and there will be no
crowded conditions, according to
members of the committee.
"Students of Oregon and Wash
ington have many common inter
ests and therefore this dance to
bring schools closer together has
my whole-hearted support.” Vier
eck stated in his message, “No
matter how the game comes out
we will have a wonderful eve
ning.”
The Oregon-Washington dance
has come to be an annual event of
rhe week-end of the game between
the two institutions and the stu

Hall Emphasizes
Valuable Traits
At Frosli Meeting
Importance of Scholarship,
Mastery and Character
Is Stressed (
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent of the University, addressed
the freshman class Tuesday morn
ing at the Music building on
"Scholarship, Mastery, and Char
acter.”
Hugh L. Biggs, dean of men,
opened the assembly with the
statement that one of the most
valuable features of our college
career is an ability to know and
to hear the college faculty.
Dr. Hall began his address by
saying that if the University can
aid the students by helping them
to help themselves, it is doing the
best that it can do. He brought
out the facts that all students
should- sit down in a spare mo
ment and ask themselves what
they are going to be, what is the
biggest thing they can do, and
how can they get the best out of
whatever they do.
“Everyone should plan a blue
print of his hfe in every detail so
that he can approach it wisely
and effectively," Dr. Hall said.
“He should build up habits that
are worthy until they crystallize
into good character.
“Just as the beauty in the set
ting sun brings out the best in
one, friends tend to bring out fine
qualities,” said Dr. Hall in stress
ing the importance of estimable
friends.
“The first things that go into
the blueprint of life, and into phi
losophy are habits of industry,
perseverance, and mastery.”
In concluding his address, Dr.
Hall stated, “Self-respect revolts
at unpreparedness. If you go out
of this University leaving a path
of mastery, opportunity will open
her doors to jou. Mastery is suc
cess.”

Beatrice Bennett was elected

A.M. Classes Dismissed
Graduate Manager Rosson
Will Be Featured on
Program
A special coronation assembly,
at which all freshmen will don
their green lids for the year will
be held at 11 o'clock this morning
at McArthur court. All 11 o’clock
classes will be dismissed.
Following the capping of John
Kendall, president of the class of
1934, by George Cherry, A. S. U. O.
president, all yearling men will be
wearers of the green dinks until
Junior Week-end spring term,
when the caps will be burned after
the usual ceremonies.
Hugh Rosson, graduate manager
of the University, will be the prin
cipal speaker at today’s assembly,
according to Cherry. Rosson is
making a special trip from Port
land to give the entire student
body a message concerning the
coming Washington game Satur
day.
At least half of the assembly
time will be given over to Johnny
Creech, yell king, members of the
rally committee, and the Oregon
band. Plans for the biggest rally
over held in Portland will be re
vealed at that time.
Start From Hotel
Following a change in arrange
ments last night, the Friday night
and Saturday noon, rallies in Port
land will both start from the Port
land hotel on Sixth street. Rooters
will serpentine to Multnomah sta
dium from this point.
Two new Oregon yells will be
taught the rooters at the assembly,
Creech said yesterday. “This will
be in preparation for the big Fri
day night rally in Portland,"
Creech said, “and everyone must
be at the assembly to learn the
yells.”
New Yells Presented
A locomotive yell, originated by
Steve Fletcher, Brian Mimnaugh,
and Creech will be the first one
introduced to the students. It is
follows:
O-O-ORE-G-G-GON
ORE-GON
ORRREGON
The yell will be repeated three
times, starting softly and increas
ing and speed and volume each
time.
A "growler” yell composed by
members of the yell staff, Creech,
Kelsey Slocum, and Eddie Wells,
is as follows:
RrrRrrRrrAH
RrrRrrRrrAII
OREGON
VARSITY
This yell will only be given once.
The band, under the direction of
John Stehn, will be at the assem
bly to play the new Oregon march
ing song. Rooters will learn a
special whistle and chant to ac
company it.
The University band has made
more than a good name for itself
this year, it is shown by the follow
ing telegrams received yesterday
by Arnold Bennett Hall, president
of the University.
The telegram is as follows:

Large Crowd Pleased With
Marine Band Presentation
By JANET FITCH
A program in which semi-classi
cal numbers were tucked in among
popular ballads and marches was
chosen by the United States Ma
rine band for their appearance last
night in McArthur court.
The traditional favorites of the
Marine band, the marine hymn
"Semper Fkleles,” and Sousa’s
"Field Artillery,” as well as “Stars
and Stripes Forever,” came boom
ing out as encores, with all the
gusto and fervor of patriotism.
The printed program contained
only a few of the selections played,
as Captain Taylor Branson, the
band’s leader, was generous in the
matter of encores. Those mention
ed, however, were a wide choice,
ranging from Liszt and Strauss to
a bit from “Andrea Chenier,” by
Biordano; and from a “Creanonian
Polka,” a cornet solo played by
Arthur S. Witcomb, second leader
of the band, to Arthur Pryor’s
waltz medley, in which the trom
bone soloist, Robert* E .Clark,
starred.
The band showed great versatil
ity, changing from the vigorous
marches to the more serious and
artistic selections with no loss in
execution. Especially remarkable
was the depth of tone, and the vi
brant quality displayed in Liszt’s
“Dream of Love.” There was
drama and power in the “Andrea
Chenier”; and Strauss’ “Till Eul
