Out of this number only seven will be chosen to act as dele gates to the convention. The alumni convention plan was first adopted in June, 1927. At that time the general structure oi the alumni association organiza tion underwent a complete over hauling, according to F. Harold Young, president of the alumni as sociation at that time. “The crux of the new organization,” said Mr Young, “is the alumni conventior composed of 43 alumni elected from 22 districts into which the state has been divided, each dis trict being composed of one oi more counties.” Thus representa tion in alumni affairs is secure:, by every section of the state. The most important work of the alumni convention is the nominal, ing of candidates for president ol the alumni association. It is the duty of the delegates also to makf nominations for other alumni of ficers and for the executive coun cil, which advises the alumni sec retary about important details o; alumni administration. In speaking of the alumni con vention, Miss Calkins said, “Th( delegates to the alumni conven tion, with their power to nominate candidates for president of the alumni association, participate di rectly in the control of the asso ciation, and thus the office o: president becomes more represent alive and popular in character." Homer Angell, '00, is new presi dent of the • association. He ha: served in that capacity for twe terms. i TALKIE TOPICS ► ' -— -— McDonald — “Wicked,” starring Victor McLaglen and Elissa Landi. showing for the last time today.

The plot is relatively simple. The story revolves about Miss Landi who goes to the penitentiary for her guilty husband whom she will not betray. While in prison Miss Landi has a baby, around whom the balance of the picture centers. Some intensely interesting scenes in which dialogue is particularly stressed, are shown of the jury de bating on Miss Landi’s fate. Other gripping scenes are the meeting oi Miss Landi and her child after her sentence is up ,and the shots oi the inmates of the women’s ware at the penitentiary. "Wicked” depicts a woman in a light rarely touched upon in mod ern films her innermost feeling i towards her most prized possessior a child, and her unfailing loyalty to her husband. Members of the supporting cast include Una Merkel and Aller Dinehart. # * * Beery at Heilig "Shanghaied 7_.ove,” showing at Iho Heilig till Friday, is a story oi 1 love and adventure aboard a pic 1 turesque old sailing vessel, will Richard Cromwell, Noah Beery Walter Huston featured in D.

Store 9'i7 Willamette Street Eugene, Oregon Douglass at Libe Conceals Apples In Secret Vault A librarian has to be a good guesser, when you come to think of it, and Mr. M. H. Douglass, Uni- I versity librarian, is proving his prowess in instinctive arithmetic. ; Here's how your reporter knows. I Down in the basement of the main library near the big desk where Mr. Douglass holds sway there is a vault. A big vault, it is, - with heavy doors and all the bolts i and locks of a treasure’s hiding place. In the vault on a shelf is a box half full of apples, the eat able, juicy kind of apples that are just the right refreshment for an autumn day. Now here’s where the arithmetic comes in: nine days ago Mr. Douglass estimated that the library staff could munch three boxes of apples in two weeks. This is the ninth day and there is just half a box left—Voila! Our deduc tion is made that Mr. Douglass is a good guesser. Incidentally, the library staff has that complacent after-an-apple look, and your reporter after care ful sleuthing could find no doctor anywhere in sight—hence deduc tion number two: “an apple a day keeps the doctors away.’’ Eugene Planning Board Discusses Expansion Plans Proposed Changes Include Enlargement of Campus East of Present Site Tentative plans for enlarging the property of the University of Ore gon, in accordance with ideas for mulated by the Oregon Dads dur ing their recent convention in Eu gene, were discussed last night by : the Eugene planning board. The new plans call for the en larging of the campus to take in , all the area between Alder street ! and Fairmount boulevard, and from 19th avenue east to the river. All private property within this area would be rented by the Uni versity until such time as it is needed for campus buildings. The Willamette river would be straightened, taking out the huge bend between the Ferry street bridge and a point about directly north of Moss street. The South ern Pacific railroad would be moved over to run parallel with the river until it reaches Judkins point, where it will branch off. The highway is planned to be con structed from Fifth avenue to run alongside the railroad. The area: between the present and the prospective river channels would be covered with water and made into an artificial lake. This lake will then form the northern boundary of the University cam pus. “These plans are not definite and will not be consummated for several years,” said W. C. Clubb, city engineer. Next Tuesday eve ning the city planning board will meet again and at that time will form more complete arrangements concerning the enlargement. Meeting with the board last night were Chief Engineer Hamp ton and Assistant Engineer Fred Feikert of the Southern Pacific railway; Burt Brown Barker, Paul Ager, and Edgar DeCou of the Uni versity; and William G.
