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

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.’’

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.

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

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

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 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

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.
Student Aid Asked
Students are urged to cooperate
by having their dads register as
their first official act upon their
arrival in Eugene. Registration
booths will be in the first floor
lobby of the Administration build
ing, and will open Friday at 9 a.
m. Only such Dads as are official
ly registered at 1:00 p. m. 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. A total of nine bulletins, all
of them exhaustive and carefully
prepared, are now available for
those who would be well informed
on this subject, it is stated by Da
vid E. Eaville, dean of the school
of business administration.
Work on the series is to be car
ried forward by Harry C. Hawk
ins, who comes here directly from
an extensive career in the depart
ment of commerce. He is taking
the place left vacant by William
H. Fowler, now on the faculty of
Harvard. Mr. Hawkins Is now
spending a large portion of his
time in Portland, familiarizing
himself with the field there.
Starting in 1928 with “Oregon’s
Share in Import Traffic From the
Far East,” the series contains the
following:
Import Traffic Through Pacific
Ports of Selected Far Eastern
Commodities in 1927; Import Traf
fic Through Atlantic and Gulf
Ports of Selected Far Eastern
Commodities in 1927; Pacific
Coast Wheat Flour Exports, Jan
uary to April, 1927 and 1928; Ven
eers, Plywood and Doors Export
ed From the Pacific Coast, Janu
ary to August, 1927 and 1928; An
