The proposed Oregon - Oregon
State Homecoming luncheon which
was to have been at McArthur
court preceding the Homecoming
game November 14, will be solely
an Oregon luncheon, John Pen
land, Homecoming chairman, an
nounced last ngiht. Failure of this
proposed step toward bringing the
two schools closer together was
due to a decision of the O. S. C.
interfraternity council, in which
the heads of the living organiza
tions voted to have an early
luncheon before leaving Corvallis
instead of accepting the invitation
of the University to join in the
annual luncheon here, he stated.
‘ Speaking of the decision of the
Oregon State group, Penland said:
“We are extremely disappointed
that the Oregon State representa
tives have decided not to go in
with us on the luncheon as the
members of the committees of
both schools had previously
planned. We were looking for
ward to this joint event w’ith great
enthusiasm, regarding it as a first
and extremely significant step to
ward building up an era of better
feeling between the two institu
tions. However, it seems that
such Utopian dreams will have to
be left to the future before mate
rialization can be realized.”
He said that, despite this, plans
for the Oregon band and student
representatives to meet the Ore
gon State rooters at the Villard
station and escort them to the
campus were still going forward.
Student Bady Cards Needed
Alexis Lyle, chairman of the
luncheon, said that arrangements
^ were being made to accommodate
3G00 diners instead of the expected
5000. She stressed the fact that
all students must present their
student body cards before being
admitted to the affair. Otherwise
the fee will be the usual 50 cents,
she added.
An unusually enthusiastic meet
ing of the directorate was held
last night and Penland announced
himself as being jubilant over the
rapidity of progress toward final
arrangements as revealed by the
committee reports.
Carolyn Haberlac'n, in charge of
welcoming and accommodations,
reported that the committee, un
der the leadership of Ed Reames,
was working at full speed securing
rooms for the expected visitors,
and that arrangements for accom
modating everybody would be com
pleted in the near future.

Campus Grieves at Death
Of Well-Known Canine;
Man Is Arrested
King is dead. No longer will
the German police dog, pet of the
Beta house, attend classes in the
law school with his master, Con
Hammond, senior, or wag a greet
ing to students on the campus.
In the cold, foggy dawn of yes
terday morning King was shot, and
left to drag his bullet-ridden body
painfully home as best he could.
About 7 o'clock, two freshmen
found King lying on the Alpha
Phi bridge, a block from home.
They hurried to the Beta house,
informed Hammond, and King was
rushed to a veterinary. But it was
too late. A double-barreled shot
gun in the hands of W. A. Gilbert,
971 Eleventh avenue East, had
done its work.
Joe, Belgian police pup owned
by Cliff Lord, Sigma Nu sopho
more, escaped King’s fate miracu
lously, as Gilbert is thought to
have shot at both dogs at the same
time. Joe, tired and muddy, slunk
home about 6:30 last night. Un
harmed, he cowered in a corner
of the Sigma Nu basement, a
hunted look in his eyes.
Gilbert shot King and attempted
to kill Joe because, he claimed,
the dogs had attacked his milch
goat which he had tethered on a
vacant lot at Eleventh and Kin
caid streets. Arrested on a war
rant sworn out by the Betas, Gil
bert was haled into Police Judge
Bryson’s court yesterday after
noon and fined $15 for discharging
firearms within the city limits.
He was also informed he could be
prosecuted for keeping his goat
without a license.
Gilbert is reported to have
acted upon the advice of the coun
ty dog catcher in shooting at the
dogs.

Pleasing Musical Program
Presented at Auditorium
Fifty-eight minutes of pleasant
program music entertained a re-1
sponsive audience last night at the \
Music building. Aimee Sten and
Eugene Pearson shared laurels,!
with two groups each. Vivian Ma- I
lone and Edith Grim, violinist and
pianist, gave an excellent presenta- j
tion of Handel's Sonata in A ma- ’
jor.
Miss Sten’s first group, mostly
classical, displayed confident un
derstanding and accurate rendi
tion of Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 2,
No. 1. Mozart’s “Turkish March,”
Liszt’s moody “II Penseroso,” and
I Rudolph Ganz’s transcription of
the Schubert music for the “Rosa
munde” ballet.
Pearson commenced with the
subdued “Come raggio di sol,” by
Caldara, followed with the sere
nade, ‘'Deh, vienc alia finestra”
from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and
completely won his audience with
the sardonic humor of Moussorg
sky’s “Song of the Flea.’’ While
his enunciation was not clear, his
interpretation was expressive, his
tone superb. A restrained reading
of Wagner’s “O, du mein holder
Abendstern," — “To the Evening
Star”— composed the final vocal
group. Pearson's German was con
siderably better than his English,
from the auditor’s standpoint. Ed
na Whitmer accompanied.
Miss Sten’s closing group, ro
mantic throughout, brought Ru
dolf Friml’s “Legende,” four me
lodic Preludes by Chopin, the same
composer’s quiet “Waltz" in C
sharp minor, and the emphatic
“Polonaise” in G sharp minor. Miss
Sten emphasized the contrasts of
tempo and mood in the group, and
chose carefully the tonal effects
of the unexpanded melodies of the
Preludes, the rippling “Waltz,” and
the strong martial theme of the
“Polonaise.”

12GradePoints
Considered As
Initiation Basis
Fraternity Heads Hear
Two Plans Offered
Huffaker Suggests System
Equal to Previous
Requirement
Either 12 grade points or 75-100
of a point per hour, may be the
requirements for initiation of
pledges into fraternities on the
campus starting this fall, it was
indicated yesterday when the two
plans were put before the inter
fraternity council for consideration
by Dr. C. L. Huffaker, professor
of education.
Dr. Huffaker is a memtftr of
the special University committee
investigating the new grading sys
tem adopted this year, and pre
paring to lay the grade point sug
gestions before the faculty at a
meeting next week. Under the
committee’s plan, three points
would be given for every hour of
A, two for B, one for C, none for
D, and minus. *pne for F.
Under the old grading system,
fraternities required their pledges
to make 35 grade points for initia
tion. On a basis of 13 hours as
the average freshman load, 35
points become equal to 12 grade
points under the new marking sys
tem.
These same 12 points, divided
by 16 hours, gives the 75-100 of a
point per hour basis.
It will be up to the fraternities
to decide whether they will initiate
quality or quantity, JDr. Huffaker
said in discussing the proposed
point systems. The 12-point basis
would make for quantity, the other
for quality, he said.
House presidents were asked
yesterday to consider the two
grade point requirements for initi
ation before taking action at a
meeting within the next two
weeks, pending University faculty
decision.

'Alumni Office Has
Big Ratio Return
Of Questionnaire
Eight Out of 559 Graduates
Have Not Sent Back
Data for Record
Of the 559 seniors and graduate
students who received degrees
from the University last June, and
to whom questionnaires were sent,
the Alumni office now has on file
returns from all but eight.,
"I believe this is the best record
we have ever had,” said Vera
Powers, alumni recorder; in com
menting on the cooperation ex
tended to the alumni office by last
year's graduates. “To have only
eight missing out of 559 is really
an achievement. Nor are the eight
entirely lost, for I am sure we can
locate them without much trouble.
However, so far they have failed
to return the questionnaires to the
alumni office.”
Eight Missing
The eight who are missing are
Calvin Edward Gantenbein, Mrs.
Orilla Elizabeth Freeze, George
Alexander Le Compte, Frances H.
Peters, Bessie Jabusch Woodman
see, George W. Cherry, Eugenia
McNaghten, and Leslie Archibald
White, M.D. Students who are
sure of correct addresses for any
of the eight are asked to com
municate with the alumni office.
Every student who receives a
degree from the University of Ore
gon is asked to fill out a question
naire for the alumni records. On
file in the alumni office is kept
such information as class years,
addresses, degrees, honors, mar
riages, and number of children.
Records Kept
“Each senior is entitled to Old
Oregon for one year after gradu
ation,” Miss Powers explained,
“and each name is placed on the
mailing list as soon as the ques
tionnaire is turned in to us. From
this record the card for our master
file is made.”
The alumni office now has more
than 9000 cards for graduates and
former students in the master file. \

Casualties of Susan Campbell
hall’s fire drill Tuesday noon in-,
eluded Ethel James, with two frac
tured bones in her ankle, and
Rachel Locke, with a strained lig
ament. The injuries were sus
tained in a jump from the fire
escape ladder, seven feet from the
ground.
Miss James, a special student in
I business administration, was treat
ed at the University dispensary,
where a temporary splint for the
broken ankle was made. Her par
ents requested that she be taken
to Portland, and an ambulance
was called. When it failed to ar
rive, Dr. Miller had the train wait
| while he took her to the station
in his private car.
Miss Locke, a junior in educa
tion, was able to return to the hall,
though she will not be able to at
tend classes today.
SOX AND HEIR
Dr. and Mrs. Miller became the
proud parents of a seven and a
half pound baby# boy Sunday morn

New Members
For Advisory
Body Selected
Three Seniors To Fill
Important Positions
Alexis Lyle, Walter Evans,
Roy Heriulon, Student
Representatives
Roy Herndon, senior in law; Wal
ter Evans, senior in economics;
and Alexis Lyle, senior in business
administration, have been appoint
ed student representatives on the
student advisory committee, Brian
Mimnaugh, student body president,
announced yesterday.
Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel administration and chair
man of the student advisory com
mittee made the following state
ment:
“Some very fine students have
been chosen for work on this com
mittee. Last year invaluable ser
vice was performed by the student
members in presenting the student
viewpoint to the members of the
faculty on this committee.”
New Policies Adopted
Under a policy adopted last year,
the committee gives more atten
tion than previously to the possibil
ity of correcting students’ faults
before it becomes necessary to take
more drastic steps.
The new policy provides for a
maximum amount of individual
liberty and, at the same time, ex
pects a commensurate responsibil
ity. Assistance to offenders rather
than punitive measures is the ob
ject of the committee. i
The students who have been cho
sen are widely known on the cam
pus. Roy Herndon, Milton-Free
water, served on the committee
last year. He is a member of Fri
ars, senior men's honorary; Phil
Delta Phi, national law honorary;
Phi Beta Kappa, national scholas
tic. honorary; besides having won
the Hilton law prize in 1930 and
serving on several student body j
committees.
Walter Evans, New York City, is
vice-president of the student body,
and a member of Delta Sigma Rho,
national forensic honorary. He was
on the Homecoming directorate
last year and was also chairman of
the Canoe fete during Junior week
end.
Alexis Lyle, Klamath Falls, is af
filiated with Mortar Board, nation
al senior women’s honorary, and
Phi Chi Theta, national women’s
business administration honorary.
She has also been active in cam
pus affairs, having served on the
Junior week-end committee, the
Mother’s Day committee and she

Hartfel Wins in
Extempore Talk
Contest Tryouts
Student Will Represent
Oregon in All-State
Speech Contest
Thomas Hartfel, sophomore in
journalism, speaking on the topic
“Capone, Czar of Racketeers,”
won first place in the speaking
contest held at Villard hall at 8
o’clock last night.
Other speakers competing in the
contest were: Wallace Campbell,
Rhodes Scholar candidate, with
“Rackets of Racket” as his sub
ject, and Charles Todd with “To
the Rack with the Racketeers.”
Hartfel will represent the Uni
versity of Oregon in the after-din
ner speaking contest to be held
at the Osburn hotel, December 11.
At that time representatives from
all the colleges in Oregon will meet
to speak on “American Rackets.”
“Capono controls Chicago from
the cradle to the grave,” said
Hartfel. “He gets two million dol
lars a week, which is more than
any other man in the United
States. He spends $35 for a shirt,
and I am willing to bet that he
spends more for his underwear
than I do for my college educa
tion.”

Marching Song to
Be Sung at Rally
With New Words
AT last some kind soul has
written words for Oregon’s
marching song, music for which
was written two years ago by
John Stark Evans, of the school
of music faculty. The new
words are as follows:
Hit hurd! Hit hard!
A touchdown wins the
game.
Let’s fight for Oregon—
For victory and fame.
Hit hard! Hit hard!
We’re with you—Everyone
Will stand by the men that
fight to the end
For Oregon.
The rally committee has re
quested that all students bring
copies of these new words with
them to the rally this noon.
Copies were distributed last
night to all living organizations,
and those who did not receive
them may get them at the
Co-op or the front entrance to
the main library.
Tradition of Lids
Will Be Enforced
By Order of ‘O’
Rally Committee to Assume
Responsibility for Entire
Campus Cooperation
Plans for the biggest and best
Homecoming in the history of Ore
gon are receiving the support of
the Order of the “O,” which is lu
charge of traditions, freshman
discipline, and other campus activ
ities. The order is sponsoring the
sale of rooters’ lids for the O. S. C.
game and, with the rally commit
tee, is assuming responsibility for
the entire campus co-operation In
wearing lids to the game on No
vember 14.
Re-embarking upon the old Ore
gon tradition, now almost defunct,
the wearing of rooters’ lids will
be compulsory for those students
desiring seats in the rooters’ sec
tion on the 50-yard line. Those
students not so attired will un
doubtedly have to find seats else
where.
Oregon is practically the only
school on the coast where this re
quirement for games is not en
forced. Every institution in the
conference uses this as a factor
in the carrying out of the card
stunts, parades, features and all
the rest of the big game activities.
Pep Dance To Postpone
A. W. S. Dime Crawl
Afternoon Classes To Meet
As Usual, Say Officials;
11 o’Clocks Dismissed
Announcement of the earlier ar
rival of the football team has
caused a complete revision of to
day’s rally, which will now com
mence at 11:25 and will continue
until 12:30, when it will be dis
rupted for afternoon classes, ,and
will be topped off with a huge
two-hour rally dance at 7 o’clock
in the Igloo, necessitating the
postponement of the A. W. S. dime
crawl originally scheduled for to
night.
This change became necessary
when Dr. Spears vetoed plans for
an hour hold-over in Portland for
a city rally, and booked passage
straight through to Eugene for his
football team. They will arrive at
the Southern Pacific depot at
11:25 instead of at 12:35 as pre
viously announced.
11 o’Clocka Cancelled
1 All 11 o’clock classes will be
dismissed to enable students to at
tend the rally in full force. R. O.
T. C. men will not be required to
be there in uniform, although the
band will. Students owning cars
are urged to "give everyone a
lift.” Cars will be parked on
Fourth street in order to leave the
parking lot free for the special
team cars.
After a rally at the depot, stu
dents will parade to McArthur
court for a team, reception. There
will be rallying, music, and yells
until 12:30, when the gathering
will be dispersed for afternoon
classes. Houses are requested to
serve a late lunch.
Crawl Postponed
Anne Baum, president of the As
sociated Women Students, has con
sented to postpone the traditional
dime crawl which was scheduled
for this evening in favor of the
rally dance. The dime crawl will
be held next Wednesday.
Plans have been made to make
the big rally dance the biggest of
its kind, according to Carson
Mathews, head of the Oregon rally
committee. A charge of a dime
a person will be made to cover the
costs of operation. Any profit
made will be turned in to the
Homecoming rally fund to aid in
that celebration.
The dance will start promptly
at 7 o’clock and will last until 9
o’clock. Students are requested
to have exact change in order to
facilitate handling of the crowds.
An eight-piece orchestra has been
serjred.
Fire of Webfoots Wilted
'Violets’, Writes Tonkon
By HARRY TONKON
(Special to the Emerald)
Editor’s Note: Harry Tonkon,
a graduate from Oregon last
year, is now a student at New
York university. He here gives
a few impressions of the game
as seen from the press-box.
YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Nov. 3.—The way these Oregon
Ducks flew their wings here Sat
urday was successful in making
pansies out of these New York
Violets. Known throughout the
East as a crushing team, the New
Yorkers let it be known that they
really are CRUSHED Violets. And
now the whole world knows that!
Will these New York sports
i writers sit up and take notice
| now? Will these eastern colleges
wake up to the fact that real foot
ball is played on the Pacific coast ?
Not one writer gave Oregon an
even chance.
Every last man on the Webfoot
squad was pitched to the prime
for the opening gun of the game
to sound off. Every man in the
starting eleven was on his toes
when Bernie Hughes made that
opening kickoff. They were on
their toes every minute of the
game. These Oregon boys sur
prised the New Yorkers with their
incomparable stamina. They were
amazed to see a fast, light team
“on the go” until the last whistle
blew.
After they had seen the superi
ority of these Westerners, the
crowd turned to be loyal support
ers of' the lemon-yellow warriors.
They were continually cheering
the brilliant playing of the Web
feet.
Any doubt as to the caliber of
coaching dished out by Dr. Spears
was put to the wayside as the
Oregon team displayed a football
