’Pep’ Dancing
Friday To Stir
Oregon Spirit
Free Rally Entertainment
At McArtlinr Court
Is Planned
Dad’s Day Prelude Headed
By Chairman Brian
Mimnangh
The first rally dance of the year
will be held at McArthur court
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, to
stir up pep for the Dad’s game
against the University of Idaho
eleven, to be played on Hayward
field Saturday afternoon. Brian
Mimnaugh, chairman of the rally
committee announced the plans for
the dance after a meeting of the
comfnittee last night.
The dance will be free to all stu
dents on the campus and music
will be furnished by one of the
leading campus orchestras. The
affair will be held from 4 to 6
o’clock in the afternoon and it is
planned to make it one of the larg
est rally dances ever staged on the
campus.
“We are endeavoring to exhibit
all of our spirit before and during
the game this year,” Mimnaugh
declared last night. “The commit
tee feels that a dance before the
game will be much more popular
than one held a couple of days af
ter the encounter.”
New Stunts Ready
Several new stunts are being
worked out by the committee for
the Idaho game, and it is planned
to stir up as much pep as possible
for the encounter.
Appreciation for the cooperation
of the student body in the two ral
lies held in Portland was expressed
by Mimnaugh. The affairs were
considered the best ever staged in
the Rose City and several compli
mentary reports have been receiv
ed by the committee.
Dads To Root
“The Dads will probably have
their own rooting section at the
game, as they have done in past
years," Mimnaugh stated. “It will
be up to the Oregon students to
turn out for the game and show
them that we have the old Oregon
spirit and that we enjoy having our
Dads here as our guests.”
The big Oregon band will again
offer its share in the program and
several new tunes have been pre
pared for the occasion.

Dr. Hodge Receives Amusing
Letter From Japanese Boy
Dr. Edwin Hodge, geology pro
fessor, recently received a letter
from E. J. Boku, a Japanese boy
whom he met while abroad a year
ago. Ke met Boku on a ship going
from Chosen to Shimnesho. Boku
was returning to Korea, his home, j
from Matsue, Japah, where he had j
been attending high school. The ;
letter gives a slant on life and
problems of a Japanese boy of
about the same age as a university
student.
"I am going to enter the Tokyo
or Kyoto Imperial university,” Bo
ku writes. “My father wishes me
to study law or economics, but I
am going to enter the department
of esthetics. Why? I don't know
and can’t tell it. I like esthetics
very much and like economics too,
but I don't like to study law.”
Boku continues by telling some
thing of conditions in Japan.
“In Japan,” he writes, “every
thing is developing day after day
with great speed. All has much
changed since you visited here.
But yet, I am sure, she is in a
childish condition of European cul
ture. She is now striving to get
on the summit of it and, also I am
sure, she will conquer it soon. For
instance, we have air traffic now,
and I can return home (Korea)
from here in only three hours. We
have the so-called Ultira express,
since the first of this month, and
the express train runs with great
speed.”
“Japan is now in a dilemma be
tween Americanism and Russian
ism. Communism and other social
isms are prevailing here.”
“I want to read good books,” he
concludes, “about the Movie and
the Talkie Won’t you introduce
them to me?"
(Signed) E. J. Boku.

Dick Jackson Named Head
Of Soph Informal
“The circus is coming to town,”
is the cry of the Sophomore Infor
mal committee, headed by Ted
Jensen, who last night released
plans for the affair, which this
year comes on November 1. The
spirit of the “big top” will be the
spirit of the dance, and decora
tions and features are being
planned accordingly.
Although the orchestra has not
yet been definitely chosen, it will
probably be either Cole McElroy's
band from Portland or the Thomas
Brothers of Salem, Jensen says.
Dick Jackson has been named on
the program committee, and is
planning something original and
appropriate for the occasion.
A general meeting of the sopho
more class has been called for to

To Be Held Here
During Week-end
Meeting Is First of Kind
Ever To Be Held on
Campus
Approximately fifty delegates
from various neighboring towns
will arrive in Eugene next Satur
day afternoon to attend the Hi-Y
conference being sponsored by the
Frosh commission of the campus
Y. M. C. A.
The purpose of the conference,
which is one of several being held

Anchorage at 12:30, at which time
the delegates are to be entertained

to outline the events of the con
ference a committee consisting of
Russell Cooke, Joe Simpson, Otto
Vanderbilt, Miles McKay, Reed
Sutherland, and Oren Freerksen
was appointed to take charge of
the entertainment. Mr. Miers, of
the campus “Hut,” and Dick Goe
bel, student chairman, are making
all arrangements for the banquet
on Sunday. The down-town Y is
arranging for the delegates to be
housed in private homes through
out the city.
This is the first time a confer
ence of this sort has been at
tempted on the campus, but
through the more rapid organiza
tion of this year’s committees it
is expected to be a yearly affair.
Psychology Books Now
In New Classification
The Congressional Library in
Washington, D. C., is working on
an elaborate expansion of the
Dewey decimal system for the ar
rangement and classification of
psychology books. This system at
present is widely used in libraries.
Dr. E. S. Conklin, department
chairman in psychology at this
University, was sent a copy of the
new system for criticism.
Oberlin college students of zool
ogy were treated recently to the
rare sight of fresh water jellyfish,
discovered by Dr. R. A. Buding
ton, head of the department, in the
Vermilion river, west of here. Dr.
Budington told his classes this was
the sixth time in zoological history
that jelylyfish, regularly found in
salt water, had been found inland.
Russian Chorus
To Give Special
Student Matinee
Action of School of Music
Makes Possible Low
Admittance Fee
In order to give University stu
dents a chance to hear a world
famous musical organization at a
price which is one-third of the
standard admission rate, the school
of music has agreed to let the
Royal Russian Chorus use the mu
sic auditorium for a special mat
inee concert Wednesday, October
29, free of rental.
This concession, according to
Dean John J. Landsbury, enables
the chorus to offer students ad
mission for 50 cents. Two and
three times this amount will be
the rate charged townspeople, both
for the afternoon and the evening
concerts which are to be given in
Eugene.
In continuous existence for more
than 70 years, the Royal Russian
Chorus has built for itself the rep
utation of not being surpassed as
interpreters of Slavic music. The
chorus is now giving concerts in
the United States as a part of a
world concert tour, which is win
ning them favorable comment
from many music critics.
The critic for the New York
American calls it "a chorus of
striking qualities and many-sided
abilities, with lovely vocal quality,
infinitely appealing shades of tone,
and propulsive rhythmic firmness
and vitality.”
The chorus comes by its name
honestly, for it was founded at the
order of the czar in 1858. The
founder was Prince Agreneva
Slaviansky, whose daughter, Prin
cess Margarita Slaviansky, is the
present conductor, and whose
granddaughter, Mile. Mara Slavi
ansky, is soprano soloist and ac
companist.
Employment Bureau
Offers Two Opportunities
The Y. M. C. A. employment bur

afternoon for a student barber to

sistant in a barber shop here. Also
someone with experience as a drug
store clerk is desired. Anyone in
terested in these positions are ask

nelly at the Hut.
In the campaign to find positions
for all students desiring to work,
the employment committee would
like the names of all those with ex
perience in various lines of work
If these experiences are listed it
will be easier to fill the positions,
says Mrs. Donnelly, who is in
charge of employment.

Seniors in 1898
Get Special Leave
Dr. Booth First To Make
Use of Ruling
With the outbreak of the Span
ish-American war so many seniors
were desirous of going to the de
fence of their country that special
provision was made by the gradu
ate council of 1898 allowing them
to graduate with their class, rec
ords of the University of Oregoft
show.
Among the first to be awarded
this special leave was Dr. Joel C.
Booth, Republican nominee for
senator from Linn and Lane coun
ties.
Dean-Emeritus John Straub was
influential in bringing about the
action of the council, Doctor Booth
says, and 25 men in the Univer
sity at that time took advantage
of the ruling. Doctor Booth has
practiced medicine at Lebanon for
the past 30 years.

suspended for a term by action of
the student advisory committee
yesterday.
Although the names were not
released by the committee, it is
generally known that thp sus
pended men were Allan Spaulding,
a member of Phi Sigma Kappa,
and Bob Steiwer, Chi Psi pledge.
Spaidding is a sophomore, and
Steiwer a freshman. The men were
arrested for intoxication, and the
customary action was taken by the
committee on students breaking
University regulations regarding
behavior.
Freshmen To Use
Many New Plays
In Rook Contest
Joe Lillard Likely To Play
Half; McLellan Back
At Center
Several new plays given out by
Coach Prink Callison early this
week were gone over thoroughly
yesterday by the frosh squad so
that a varied attack may be used
against the Oregon State Rooks
Friday night.
Although the starting lineup will
not be known for sure until just
before the game, several men seem
sure to see action against the
Rooks. Joe Lillard, speedy half
back brought from the East by
Coach Spears, appears to be a
“natural." A clever passer, speedy,
shifty, and above all, a smart
player, he will undoubtedly prove
to be a main cog in the yearling
machine.
Fred Kennedy, the 220-pound
fullback from Sand Point, Idaho;
Howard Bobbitt, ex-Commerce
high star; Ray Kelly from Tacoma,
Bill Benston from Portland, and
Romey DePittard, McMinnville,
are among the backfield men most
likely to play.
The return of Ed McLellan, first
string center, who has been absent
from practice this week, will bol
ster the line. The situation in the
forward remains the same with
several men fighting it out for
each berth.

Instructor Kambles Across
England in Tiny Blue Car
"We, Florence Evans and my
self, rambled all over England this
summer in the Blue Cow,” said
Florence Alden, head of the physi
cal education department in speak
ing of her summer vacation. “We
hired a little English car, a Morris
Cowley, that was a cross between
a Ford and an Austin. It was blue
so we shortened the last name and
called it the Blue Cow.
"We took turns driving it over
the country and enjoyed it im
mensely. We spent one evening in
a 14th century country manor, in
the ball-room of which Lady Mary
was reputed to have danced.
“The odd thing about foreign
cars is the placing of the driving
apparatus on the right side of the
car. We had to drive on the right
side of the road, make all our turns
differently, and do all our parking
backwards.
“They have so many queer terms
tor our American names, over
there. They call the traffic cop
the ‘man on point duty,’ because
he stands out there in the middle
ot the street and points this way
and that way." (The latter was
with demonstrations.) “And they
call the low gear the bottom gear.
“In the evening when one takes
the car to the garage there is no
receipt given nor collected the next
morning. I don’t see what was to
prevent one from parking a little
Morris-Cowley in the evening and
returning in the morning and pick
ing out a big Pierce-Arrow and
driving away in it. But, of course,
one couldn’t get off of the island.
“We also went to the continent,

France. We were at Quimperle on
market day and saw hundreds of
