Tickets for the affair will go on sale today at all the men’s houses and halls on the campus. Treve Jones, chairman in charge of tick ets, yesterday appointed 26 rep resentatives to handle the sale in their respective organizations. Alumni will have an opportunity to buy tickets when they register Friday and Saturday in Johnson hall. Homecoming Pep Featured With all of their efforts con centrated in a single Homecoming dance this year, Chet Knowlton, general chairman, and the com mittee of 13 students working un der him have organized plans for a novel type of dance, with the pep and enthusiasm of Homecom ing the dominating idea. The rally spirit will be carried into the decorations and features, and absolute informality will pre vail. The orchestra will conform to the general scheme by wearing Oregon rooters’ lids. A thousand green and yellow balloons will be hung from the ceiling, to be re leased during the dance. George Weber is working up several novel features in keeping with the Homecoming rally idea. Alums Will Hold Reception To be put on simultaneously with the dance, the annual alumni reception will begin at 8 o’clock Saturday evening in Alumni hall. The grads will go from there to the dance, or they may stay at the reception throughout the eve ning, according to their prefer ence.

Nelson, Miss Jeannette (Continued on Page Three) "Let’s Vote” Urges President Cherry rpHK recognized interest of col lege and university students in state politics has done more to dispel the mistaken impres sion of “collegians” than any other factor. It is also recognized that the direct interest students have in state politics after graduation is traceable to this interest while in the universities. Students note that the admin istration of the winner becomes doubly interesting since each one’s personal interest in the candidate is carried over and his platform intelligently compared with his work. We owe it to the state,’ to higher education and to our selves to vote. Even if that vote merely cancels the vote of our best friend. (Signed) GEORGE CHERRY Oregon Alumni Universal Clubs To Be Discussed Convention on November 8 Will Confer on Prospect Of New Plan The prospect of world-wide Uni versity of Oregon alumni clubs will be discussed at the coming al umni convention which will be held Saturday morning, November S. Clubs of this nature have al ready been established in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Organization plans in clude a club in every city which has 12 or more alumni, and a chairman for the city, while in states where there are only a few scattered alumni, a state chair marjhas been appointed. "We have received some very encouraging replies from the chairmen who have been appoint ed. Typical of these is this ex cerpt of a letter from Dr. William H. Burton, ’16, professor of edu cation at the University of Chica go, in which he states, “It gives me genuine pleasure to be of ser vice in any way that I can to the Alumni association. I am assum ing the duties of the chairman of the group here are largely nom inal, but in any event you may be entirely assured that you can call upon me by letter or wire at any time, and if I am in the city, you will get action’,” said Jeannette Calkins, alumni secretary. Wesley Club Discusses Limits World Friendship “How far dare we practice world friendship?” was the topic discuss ed at the meeting of the Wesley club Sunday night. The discussion was led by Jeanette Smith. The worship service was in charge of Francisco Tubban. Mildred McGee, who spent the summer in Europe as a delegate of the Y. W. C. A. to an interna tional students’ conference, will lead the discussion next Sunday evening. The topic is to be, “What does it mean to be a Christian in world friendship?” Directing Census a Thrilling Work Says Former Regent Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, for mer regent of the University of Oregon, who was on the campus to attend the A. W. S.-Kwama tea and the Mortar Board banquet, w gave an Emerald reporter some sidelights on her work as super visor of Multnomah county in the 1930 census survey. “It was a thrilling experience,” Mrs. Gerlinger declared. “It was a straight piece of organized work and success depended1 upon the building up, almost over night, of an organization of 500 persons to work as a unit on a totally un accustomed task demanding ut most accuracy, precision, and in telligence on the part of those doing the work. Not one person failed to measure up to his re sponsibilities.” The age limit for enumerators extended from 18 to 70 years. “One of my most efficient work ers was a boy 18, who had the l country district around Gresham,” Mrs. Gerlinger remarked. “He went around his section on a wheel and turned in a very thorough re port. A woman of 72 years, who, although she was now past the age limit, had done fine work in previous census campaigns, proved to be one of the best enumerators.’ “The census collection is inter esting historically,” Mrs. Gerlingei offered enthusiastically. “The first j recorded census is found in th< ! Old Testament, where King Davie counted 1,000,000 men of th< sword. From then on through th< centuries the census was largely carried on for military purposes In 1790 the survey started in th< United States, recording the name: of free males of military age. I was some time later before an; notice was taken of women an< children or any other than frei people. The 1930 census was th< fifteenth conducted in the county “Among the cherished docu ■ ments at Washington,” she added | “is a sheet from the first censu I of Philadelphia, on which Jeffer ! son and Washington have scrawlei | their names.” Symphony Orchestra Gives Concert With Choir, Piano Large Audience Listens To Interesting and Varied Program By JANET FITCH Before an audience of about four hundred, the University Sym phonic orchestra, with the Poly phonic choir, and John Landsbury, pianist, assisting, appeared in con cert last night at the music audi torium. The swift steadiness of Bach carried along orchestra and choir in the first number, the Cantata "Shepherd of Israel." An orches tral prelude of speed and precision led up to intricate interweaving of voices and harmonies. The can tata, which was sung in German, required two soloists—a tenor, Loren Davidson, and a bass, George Barron. Also used were backgrounds of organ and piano accompaniment, the former played by Winifred Tyson, the latter by Harold Ayres. Arthur Boardman conducted orchestra and choir. The orchestra’s first "solo” num ber, Sibelius’s “Finlandia,” di rected by Rex Underwood, was an j immense mournful epic, told through tha medium of the omi nous, steady rumble of drums, and the ferocity of trombones, together with the wailing of violins. Then there came familiar Car men; vivid, picturesque, as Car men always must be. The orches tra played from Bizet’s “Suite No. I,” the prelude, typically light opera; a smooth and wistful little "Aragonaise,” developed from a simple duet between harp and flute; the mad carnival of the “In termezzo"; and finally, of course, “Toreadors,” marching on quick, : sharp trumpet chords to the con clusion. Finally came Saint-Saen's con certo for piano and orchestra, an example of fine cooperative work manship on the part of the direc- ' tor and the pianist, John Lands bury. An “andante,” by turns ] meditative and brisk, was followed by an “allegro” which was posi tively flirtatious, and by a turbu- , lent “presto,” ending on repeated , and startling crashes of sound. J ‘Holiday’ Opens Dramatic Season On November 19 Three Performances To Be Given; Admission Is Fifty Cents The University dramatic season for 1930-31 will open on Novem ber 19 with the play “Holiday,” by Philip Barry. Three performances will be given, in the evenings only, on November 19, 20, and 21. This conforms to a new policy in the drama division which, according to ! the director, Mrs. Seybolt, will be i put into effect for all major pro ductions this year: namely, the presenting of each play on Wed nesday, Thursday, and Friday eve nings. Another change of procedure will be the elimination of 75-cent seats. Reserved seats may be had, as usual, but the entire house will be scaled at 50 cents. The cast for the production, which includes several members new to campus dramatics, has been hard at work for several weeks and already has a large portion of the play well in hand. Those ap pearing are: Emery Erwin Hyde, who takes the part of Edward Se ton; C. Addison Brockman, Ned Seton; Helen Mielke, Julia Seton; Nancy Thielsen, Linda Seton; Carl F. Klippel, Johnny Case; Sanford Platt, Seto Cram; Norma L. Ja cobs, Laura Cram; Donald Con frey, Nick Potter; Jean A. Wil liams, Susan Potter; Walden Boyle, Henry; Finley Jay Downs, Charles; Daisy Swanton, Delia. The many sound effects required in the second act, which is set in a New York millionaire’s home during a dance on New Year’s Eve, will give the theatre work shop class under Fred O. Harris, an intricate and exacting prob lem in stage effects. This is one of the occasions in which the stage crew will be quite as important as the actors. Educators Will Address Teacher’s Club Meeting James E. Burgess, assistant state superintendent of schools, will address the Education club at a meeting to be held Tuesday eve ning at 7:30 in the education build ing. The address will be designed to especially interest the graduate education students. Prof. F. L. Stetson, of the school of education, will address the group at the same meeting on sec ondary education. Mr. Stetson’s talk will include a general survey of the secondary education in Ore gon. ‘Congress’ To Discuss Merits of Prohibition “Prohibition” will be the subject ' discussed at tomorrow night’s 1 meeting of the Congress club, ! Ethan Newman, president, an ! nounced yesterday. Clifton Culp, sophomore in business ad, will in ■ troduce the enforcement side of . the question, and Willard Arant, s sophomore in journalism, will pre - sent reasons for repeal. The meet 1 j ing will take place at 7:30 at the College Side. Independent Men Conduct Meeting Monday Evening New Organization’s Third Meeting Draws Plans For Future ( i ( ( ! ( I I I I The Independent Men of Oregon £ held its third meeting since its or- ' ganization last night. The group, 1 which is open to all unaffiliated ‘ men on the campus, has been com- 1 pleting during the past week ten lative organization arrangements, »nd preliminary reports were pre- ’ sen ted by a number of commit- * .ees, at the direction of Clifford 1 2ulp, temporary president of the 1 group. ‘ Investigation of the constitu- £ tions of similar organizations on . jther campuses of the coast have J been included in the activities of ‘ the constitution committee, it was reported by the chairman, Dennis ' rruelove. An additional week was granted the housing committee for ‘ the selection of a permanent meet- j ing place. ! The Independent group, the ath- * letic committee, which is headed by Kenneth McKenzie, reported, lias entered three teams in the do- 1 nut basketball tournament. The 1 Wildcats, the Independent water 1 polo team, was runnerup for the • intramural polo championship, the 1 final game having been played last 1 week. 1 The selection of a faculty adviser was placed in the hands of a spe cial committee comprised of Ben nett Swanton, chairman; Ward ' Wintermeier, and Merlin Blais. Ethan Newman was appointed chairman of a committee to pro vide entertainment for the next meeting, which will probably be held Monday evening, November 17. Blayne Brewer and Howard Lee were included on the commit tee. Cider and doughnuts were served at last night’s meeting. Pi Lambda Theta Holds Founder’s Day Banquet A banquet in observance of their founding was held by Pi Lamba Theta, national women’s education honorary, last Saturday evening at Lee Duke’s.

Arrangements for the affair were made by Mrs. Katherine \ork. An additional guest was Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall. Former Oregon Student Dies Following Accident Malcolm McDonald, former Ore gon student, was fatally injured and three companions seriously hurt when struck by an automo bile early Sunday on the Beaver ton highway. He died later at St. Vincent’s hospital, Portland. McDonald was well known in Eu gene,- having attended the Univer sity of Oregon a year.

Miss Sweeney AWS ’Mum Sale Gets Under Way Delivery and Lower Prices Feature Drive When announcements were made in the living organizations Monday noon, the Associated Women Stu dents Homecoming sale of chrysan themums officially opened. Orders will be taken until Wednesday eve ning, according to Alexis Lyle, chairman of the sale. Members of the committee work ing on the sale are emphasizing the feature that for this sale flow ers will be delivered. Due to too much overhead at the Oregon Washington game in Portland it was found impossible to have the ’mums delivered. Arrangements, •have been made with a local flor ist, from whom the flowers are be ing procured, for delivery service to Eugene addresses Saturday morning. For the Homecoming game, when the demand for chrysanthe mums is probably at the high level of the season, the A. W. S. are of fering two groups of ’mums. Those for 75 cents will be large, round, solid golden balls, with a green ribbon‘tied on the stem. For $1 ibctter ’mums will be solfl, and these will have small green "O’s” in the center. The chrysanthemum tradition originated with the Homecoming games, but has gradually spread until the splashy, colorful flowers are worn for all football games of importance. The A. W.| S. has sold ’mums on the campus for sev eral years, the money going to the foreign scholarship fund. Orders for chrysanthemums are being taken in all living organiza tions. The Homecoming sale is be ing conducted on the same basis as the sale for the Oregon-Wash ington game. Flowers will be de livered when the order receipt is | shown at the florist's.

Cooperation Shown One of the greatest benefits of the annual meeting of newspaper officials, declare the two delegates from Oregon, is the spirit of co operation which has been insti tuted between the Pacific coast universities and colleges. The or ganization went on record at one of its meetings to encourage a free exchange of cuts and news paper material between the schools. The association also adopted a resolution restricting further membership of the organi zation, although a spirit of aid and friendship will be furthered between the group and the smaller college newspapers of the coast. Directors Elected At the final business meeting held Saturday morning a board of directors was elected. Members of this board are Jim Rideout, editor of the Washington State Ever green; Eugene Bishop, business manager of the Stanford Daily, and Ray Zeman, editor of the U. S. C. Daily Trojan.

Besides picking out the prize winning sign for the award of the traditional silver loving cup, the judges when they make their rouftds next Friday evening will select four or five of the most ex pressive models for the adornment of the Igloo for the big Homecom ing dance. Walt Evans, general chairman of features for Home coming, revealed this plan last night, as an added incentive to groups who are working out orig inal ideas this week with an eye tc winning the prize. The decorations committee for the dance, working under John Fenland, will load the chosen signs on trucks if such a maneuver is feasible, and cart them up to the Igloo where they will be displayed on the floor Saturday evening. A card on each sign thus transplant ed will give credit to the organiza tion which erected it. Several letters have been receiv ed criticizing the unsportsmanlike spirit expressed in welcoming signs shown on this campus on previous Homecoming week-ends, and the directorate cautions this year’s contenders that although the' idea represented, in the sign “is a question of taste and left ehtfrely up* to .the house,” the rival team should not be brought in for ridi cule of any kind, and any sign which is in any way antagonistic tc U. C. L. A. will be disqualified by the judges. Meier’s Name Omitted In Candidate Grad List As a correction to the article in Saturday's Emerald naming six graduates of the University of Oregon who are running for office in the coming election, the name of Julius L. Meier should be added. Mr. Meier, winner of the Sigma Delta Chi straw vote, received his I LL.B. degree at this University in 11895.
