NUMBER 15 Evans Chosen Homecoming Feature Head Directorate Vacancy Filled By Capable Member of Junior Class Committee Appointments To Be Announced Soon, Is Report Appointment of Walt Evans, of Portland, to the position of direc tor of features on the 1930 Home Hul Fraundorf coming dire cto rate was made last night by Hal Fraundorf, gen eral chairman. Evans will fill the vacancy left by Bill Knox, who found it necessary to re sign on account of the pressure of other work. “Evans is well qualified for the work,” Fraundorf said in appointing him. ‘‘He has been active in campus affairs, and has shown that he is capable of handling a job on the directorate.” A junior in pre-law, Evans has had considerable experience in the work connected with Homecoming, having been a member of the com mittee on decorations last year. He also had general charge of last year’s sophomore banquet. Preparations Made Preparations for the Homecom ing week-end are well under way. ! At a meeting of the directorate yesterday reports were given on j progress already made, and future plans discussed. Within the nextj few days the members of the di- j rectorate will announce their va-1 rious committee appointments. In order to secure the best pos sible floor and orchestra for both alumni and students, only one Homecoming dance will be held this year, it was decided. It will take place in the Igloo Saturday evening, November 8. Chet Knowl ton, general chairman of the dance, will be in charge. Plans for the campus luncheon have been completed by Dorothy Jean Murphy, and bids have been offered. Box lunches will be served again this year, and ap proximately the same system of serving as that of last year will be followed. The directorate chose box lunches on account of their superiority in point of convenience and speed of serving. Luncheon Is Free The luncheon, at which both alumni and students will be fed free of charge, in accordance with the annual custom, will be held in the Igloo Saturday before the U. C. L. A. game. Preparations are being made to serve nearly 4000 people. A windshield sticker to adver tise Homecoming has been de signed and engraved, and before the end of the week about 1200 stickers will be printed and ready for distribution. The design is that of an Oregon “O” bearing the an nouncement of Homecoming No vember 8, with a couple of old grads in the act of hurrying back to the campus conspicuous in the (Continued on Pape Four) k Imen Trek Weary Miles J^EARN to hike—then join the University of Oregon band. John fonder, a member of the band, carried a pedometer while in Portland for the Oregon Washington game, and by Sat urday night it registered 14 miles. From the moment they left the Union station Friday, during the parades and rallies, between halves of the game, and while celebrating the victory, until Saturday night when their duty was finished, they tramped for 14 miles. It seems they almost had more exercise than the football players. Pledge Day Is Set For November 5; Irvine To Speak Governor Norblatl To Read Annual Student Pledge At Special Assembly Pledge day at the University of Oregon has been set for November 5 with Governor A. W. Norblad reading the pledge before the as sembled student body. Frank Ir vine, editor of the Oregon Journal, will be the principal speaker for the occasion. This exercise is an annual event dating from 1912, when the pledge, written by the late Prof. F. G. 1 oung, was first read by Governor Oswald West. Such an observance was instituted into college life for the purpose of impressing more deeply upon the minds of students the duty they owe their state for the privileges enjoyed at this in stitution. Following the pledge the entire student body responds by singing the pledge song, which was writ ten by John Stark Evans in 1919. The pledge reads as printed be low: “As a student at the University which is maintained by the people of Oregon, I heartily acknowledge the obligation I shall owe to them. The opportunity open to me here tc secure training, ideals, and a vision for life, I deeply appreciate and regard as a sacred trust, and do hereby pledge on my honor that it will be my most cherished pur pose to render as bountiful a re turn to people of Oregon and their posterity in faithful and ardent de votion to the common good as will be in my power. It shall be the aim of my life to labor for the highest good and glory of an ever greater commonwealth.” Wesley Club Discusses Single, Double Standard What do University men and women expect of each cither? This was the question discussed at the Sunday evening meeting of the Wesley club, student Methodist or ganization. In general, the things the women expected of the men were the same as the men expected of the women. Concerning the single and dou ble standard they disagreed. The women unanimously favored the single standard. The men, how ever, divided their opinions be tween the two. This subject, “The Single or the Double Standard,” will be the sub ject next Sunday night. Oregon’s Lumber Industry Will Increase, Says Burrell Oregon, in spite of the present depression in lumber, must look to this industry for major industrial ► expansion, although the future for expansion of other manufactured products is also assured, it is de clared by O. K. Burrell, associate professor of business administra tion at the University of Oregon, who has recently completed a study entitled “An Industrial Audit of Oregon,” as one of a series of stud ies in business being carried on by the University here. The share of the state in the na tional lumber production has in creased almost without interrup tion since 1914, while the produc tion in the rest of the United States has been lagging,” Mr. Bur rell points out. Oregon in 1914 produced by 2.8 per cent of the to * tal in the country, and today this has risen to seven per cent. “Oregon's output of millwork, ; doors, molding, and dressed lum ber will materially increase in I years ahead, but if this industry is to progress much more merchan dising effort will have to be ap plied and trade connections culti vated more intensively than is nec essary for the sale of unprocessed lumber. Oregon producers are, however, alert to their opportuni ties, and the rapid increase since 1921, a gain from a total of $2, 482,000 for that year to $9,698,000 for 1927, may be expected to con tinue in this field. “Basically and fundamentally it is more economical to produce planing mill products, particularly standardized sizes and styles, where the lumber is produced than to ship raw material 2,000 miles or more for processing and reship ment.’’ The bulletin, one of the most sig (Continued on Page Three) -ALSO, Tttf BIG DAD'b DAY BANQUET A GLORIOUS DAY FOR DAd// Spanish Weekly Sent Department By Dr. M. Saenz Number of Other Books Also Received for Students’ Use “Revistas de Revistas,” a Mexi can "Review of Reviews,” is being received weekly by the Spanish de partment, according to Dr. L. O. Wright, instructor in Spanish. This magazine is being sent by Dr. Moises Saenz, who spent the week from July 7 to 11 on the campus last summer. Dr. Saenz, who was formerly the assistant commis sioner of education for the Repub lic of Mexico and is now commis sioner of charities, gave lectures on education in the University summer school. He received his doctor of science degree from Washington and Jefferson in Pennsylvania, which is his alma mater. In addition to the weekly mag azine which he is sending to the Spanish department, Dr. Saenz al so gave several books showing the progress of education in Mexico, and books used in the schools. These books are “Educacion Intel ectual y Fisica de Nahuas y Ma yas,” which is an account of the education of the Indians in Mexi co; “El Folklore y la Musica Mex icano,” preserving Mexican songs and tales, and “Cultural Missions in 1927,” a review showing the progress of the rural school. Books for use in the elementary schools which were given to the Spanish library are “El Sembra dor,” “Las Cinco Maravillas,” "Rie,” and “Lecturas Clasicas para Ninos.” These books are published by the editorial department of the secretary of education. "Metodo de Dibujo” is a book on the tradition, renaissance and evolution of Mexican art. This vol ume, showing forms of Mexican art, has been translated into Eng lish and a copy of it is in the Uni versity library. A most interesting volume is “Lecturas para Mujeres” of “Read ings for Women,” which includes articles on the home, motherhood, history of Mexico work, spiritual motives and nature readings. Frances Toor, an American girl, who is working for the department of education in Mexico, has also put out a monthly magazine on Mexican folk-ways and art, which is in the Spanish department li brary. All these magazines and books are at the disposal of stu dents or those interested in Span ish. Freshmen Asked To Attend Party AtY. W. Bungalow Freshmen! Come over to the Y. W. C. A. bungalow to an informal party on Wednesday, October 22, between 4 and 5, and find out who the “Nits and Wits” are. The nom inating committee for the Frosh Commission will be elected out of the group at this party. Betty Jones, the chairman for this get-together party, has chosen the following committee: Hester Hopkins and Frances Drake, tea and hostesses; Frances Keene and Louise Ansley, entertainment; and Harriette Hofmann, publicity. New Course Now Given Freshmen Business Ad School Has Addition This Fall "Personal Efficiency Manage ment” is the name given to a course newly instituted in the school of business administration for its freshmen majors. This course, says Dean Faville, is de signed primarily to give the fresh men a better opportunity for look ing over the field of their possible future endeavors. Different members of the school of business administration faculty each in turn present to the fresh men a bird’s-eye view of the scope of the field of their particular en deavors to better enable the fresh men to pick out just which field each freshman wishes to special ize in. Reading assignments are de signed to cover the activities of prominent men in the different fields of business enterprises such as Charles Schwab, Judge Gary and others. Also reading assign ments are given in personal effi ciency. Ninety freshmen are enrolled in the class, which is . a one-hour Thursdays at 11. Campus Chest Drive Is Progressing, Says Hall The community chest drive on the campus is progressing well, according to R. C. Hall, superin tendent of the University Press, and chairman of the drive on the campus. The sum of $3,315.75 has been pledged to date and Mr. Hall ; announced that he expected the rest of the total quota of $4,000 to I be pledged during the next two I days. course meeting and School of Music To Present ‘Fall Opening’ Concert Fund for Instruments To Be Benefited by Initial Event of Season Compressing material enough for half a dozen excellent concerts in to one evening, the school of music will present the University orches tra, the polyphonic choir, a string and wood-wind ensemble and John J. Landsbury, pianist, at the mu sic auditorium on the evening of Monday, November 3. The concert, which will in a way be a “fall opening” program for the music school, will be a benefit for the orchestra’s instrument fund, according to Rex Underwood, who as conductor of the orchestra is in general charge of the pro gram. Mr. Underwood is also making arrangements for the string and wood-wind ensemble which will ac company the polyphonic choir in its presentation of the famous can tata by J. S. Bach, “Du Hirte Is rael,” (Thou Shepard of Israel). Arthur Boardman, director of the choir, has announced that the size of the group will be cut to 45 or 50 voices for this concert. It is always a memorable occa sion when John Landsbury, dean of the school of music, consents to appear as a piano soloist. He is well known as one of the best pian ists in the state, but his executive duties in connection with the school have forced him to withdraw from active concert work for the most part. Tickets of admission will be sold to students for 50 cents. The in strument fund to which the money goes is used to buy the less com mon and more expensive instru ments, such as bass-viols, for the use of the University orchestra. Dr. Sisson Will Address Education School Students Students of the school of educa tion will perfect the organization of a society for sponsoring educa tion student meetings at a meeting called for Wednesday, October 22, at 8 p. m., in Gerlinger hall. The business meeting will follow a lec ture and musical program. The speaker to be featured on the program, which is under the auspices of Pi Lamba Theta and Phi Delta Kappa, will be Dr. E. O. j Sisson, formerly head of the Idaho i commission of education and pres ident of the University of Mon i tana. The topic of Dr. Sisson's | lecture will be “The Outlook of the Profession.” Pfaff and Sloan Will Represent In Debate Here Tryouts Held Last Night In Preparation for English Visitors National Student's Union Conies in November To Meet Varsity Roger Pfaff, junior, and Errol Sloan, senior, were selected last night to represent the University Roger Pfaff of Oregon in the debate against the National Stu dents’ Union of England on No vember 12. The tryout was held in the man ner of the Eng lish type of de bate. Each speak er talked for ten minutes on the negative of the question “Resolved: That the world has more to fear than to hope from the further develop ment of the machine.” The three judges and Ralph Hoeber, head of debate, then drew up arguments which the debaters refuted. Machines Aid Humanity Each speaker stressed the fact that machines do not cause unem ployment but rather repress it. They also refuted the argument that men became robots, and that machines caused war. "Machines can do work cheaper and quicker and increase produc tion, which lowers costs," Pfaff stated. “Machines help, enrich, and prolong human life, and give a better environment in which to live." Sloan spoke of the leisure time machines gave men. “People have more time to think and to weigh facts. Also increased production lowers cost, which increases the demand for more and more pro duction." Sloan is the president of Delta Sigma Rho and has been a mem ber of the varsity debate team for three years. He has won the Pa cific Coast extemporaneous speech contest for two years. Pfaff won the Jewett prize for after-dinner speech and was also a member of the varsity debate team last year. Judges Impressed The judges were Dean James H. Gilbert, Wayne L. Morse, and S. Stephenson Smith. They said they were impressed by the combina tion of “substance and sugar.” "This is the first great interna tional debate in two years for the University of Oregon,” Mr. Hoeber said. “The question itself is very significant. The members of the English debate team will represent different universities, so this will not be a debate between two uni versities, but between two na tions.” This tryout is not to be con fused with the regular varsity de bates which will be announced later. A.W.S. To Honor Dads at Breakfast Executive Committee To Be Guests at Peters Lodge As part of Dad’s day festivities this week-end the Associated Wo men Students will entertain mem bers of the Dad’s executive com mittee at Peters Lodge, A. W. S. retreat on the Willamette, at breakfast Sunday. Members of the Peters Lodge committee are planning the break fast, which is to begin at 9 a. m. They are Bess Templeton, chair man; Carol Werschkul, Betty Cook, Barbara Mann, and Betty Jones. Last year members of the execu tive committee of the Oregon Mothers were entertained in a sim ilar fashion at the lodge, with such success that it was decided to in vite the Dads. Vachel Lindsay, well-known poet, wrote and recited a poem especially for the occasion of the installation of Dr. Kenneth Irving Brown, 34, as president of Hiram college. Dr. Brown is next to the youngest' college president in the world. Delts Robbed of Cash by Prowler A PROWLER Is on the cam pus again. This time his sinstcr movements are not to frighten any of our co-eds, but rather to pick up all the small change available. Last night the Delt house was entered sometime between 8 and 6 a. m. and money was taken from the various rooms to the total ex tent of $60. An unknown, unidentified person wandered In the house when only a few of the men were up studying, it was said, and asked if there was anyone around. They replied negative ly. One of the “Delts” declared that he believed the fellow was not connected with the Univer sity. This is the only clue, so far, to the robbery. Police have not yet been no tified. Save for money, the prowler disturbed nothing. It was not until noon thut all of the victims learned of their losses. \ Scholastic Group Will Elect Six For Membership Phi Beta Kappa To Choose Outstanding Students Of Senior Class Oregon Alpha of Phi Beta Kap pa will elect late this month the traditional “Senior Six,” who are outstanding in scholarship, charac ter, and promise of achievement, Miss Mary E. Kent, secretary of the membership committee, an nounced today. Although any stu dent having a 2.25 grade average throughout his four years, and not more than 50 per cent of his work in strictly vocational or profession al schools, is eligible for consider ation. Miss Kent says that, ac cording to custom, only the six highest of those eligible are chos en in the fall. Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776, is the oldest and most re nowned of scholastic fraternities. Oregon Alpha chapter was estab lished at the University in 1920. Dean James H. Gilbert is president of this chapter, and Miss Mozelle Hair, chairman of the membership committee. Miss Kent says that in the spring a somewhat larger group will probably be taken in, but she pointed out that the total number taken from any one senior class cannot exceed ten per cent of the class. Two Papers To Be Read at Education Club Meeting Education club members met Tuesday evening at the Education building for a program featuring interesting papers by Dr. C. L. Huffaker and Dr. Leavitt Wright. The meeting of graduate education students was closed by a question and discussion forum. Dr. Huffaker presented two short papers on "County Unit” and "The Teacher Situation.” Dr. Lea vitt Wright, of the romance lan guage department, read a paper on "Certain Trends in Mexican Edu cation.” Check Reveals Over 700 Dads To Come Here Over 600 Already Pledged To Attend Week-end In Their Honor Living Organizations Vie For Honor of Having Greatest Number A complete canvas of living or ganizations last night showed that more than 600 Dads have agreed to be present for Dad’s day on October 26. This does not repre sent the large number who it is expected will apply for reserva tions at the last minute. It is felt by Hal Paddock, chairman of the Dad’s Day directorate that, over 700 will be registered by the clos ing hour Saturday. Living organizations are show ing greater interest than ever be fore, in winning one of the two prizes for the organization having down the greatest number of Dads, and it is expected that the race for the prizes will be close.

Satur day, October 25, will be credited to organizations for purposes of this competition. The two prizes in the competition will be awarded Saturday evening at the Annual Dad’s Day banquet. Those living out of organizations who are not approached regularly through the publicity channels of the directorate are urged by Bob Miller, chairman of advertising, to invite their fathers down for the event. Eugene students are asked to especially invite their fathers to register and participate in the pro gram of the day. Final Appointments Made The final committee appoint ments on the Dad’s Day director ate have been completed and will be announced tomorrow, according to Hal Paddock. Additional mem bers have been added to oversee the vast amount of work in con nection with the successful presen tation of the banquet and enter tainment features following it on Saturday night. Three more Eugene business houses have agreed to decorate their windows, assuring that all of Willamette street will have a Dad’s day motif for the occasion. Special Emeralds Planned Four thousand special Emeralds, reporting the celebration will be issued on the following Tuesday and will be distributed all over the state, announced Leonard Hag strom, University editor. A special staff will edit and collect news par ticularly pertaining to the event. Under the direction of George Godfrey, head of the public rela tions bureau, publicity has been given Dad’s day in every newspa per in the state and the resultant interest is manifested in the hun dreds of reservations that are pouring into the University. Nine Bulletins Completed For Use of Business Men Not only shipping men, but busi ness and industrial leaders of Ore gon should be vitally interested in the series of bulletins of the bur eau of business research which deal with various phases of trans portation as affecting Portland, it is declared by many who have looked over the list of studies just released by the University of Ore gon.
