Pajamas of all colors, sizes and patterns will be the order of the evening for the serpentine Friday night which will form on Alder between Eleventh and Thirteenth at 5:30 for the trek down town, Carson Mathews, rally chairman, revealed. This year, he announced, a new feature will be added by allowing the co-eds to march also, and urged that every Oregon woman don her low-heeled shoes and pre pare to hike along with the rest.

He later added that pajama garb would ap ply only to men and to the band, the co-eds being excused from this mode of dress. Prizes To Be Given Instead of the usual one prize to be given for the noise parade, which will immediately follow the down-town rally, Mathews stated that two cups are to be awarded. Roger Bailey, in charge of cam pus decorations, said that the dec orations, more lavish than ever be fore, would be put up today. This year, instead of the one arch, there will be four arches across Thirteenth street. The rest of the decorations will consist of banners, streamers, pennants and posters. George Kotchik and Larry Fischer, who are in charge of the Homecoming sign contest, have announced that all budgets must be in by noon tomorrow, and that y- all ideas and motifs must be in at noon today.

Thi3 is a point average of 2.0, two points being given for 1 every hour of B, and the average 1 being computed by dividing the total number of points by the number of term hours. ! Previously the honor roll con sisted of students who had re ceived no grade below a II, and students have been kept from the j honor group by having perhaps ( one or two hours of III, but now ( grades below B may be brought x up to the necessary average by a c corresponding number of hours t of A. This system now has been ( passed upon by faculty committee r legislation, the previous system > having been worked up through s usage, and as a means of continu- j ing publicity for excellent work t after the dropping of the “Scan dal Sheet” in which all students’ t grades were published. i It is not thought that basingj a the computation on averages will \ t make it any easier to attain the ' r honor roll. About 20 per cent of \ i: the students have been listed on r honor rolls each term, according s to the registrar’s office records. \ Big Jamboree Scheduled For Friday 13th Men's Gym To Be Scene Of Post-Rally Hop Rooters’ Caps and Campus Clothes in Order at Informal Friday the 13th may be unlucky in other parts of the world but it Will mean 17 kinds of good luck on the Oregon campus this Homecom ing eve when the Journalism Jam boree, annual post-rally dance, swings into action at the men’s gym to the music of Kampus Knights, eight-piece orchestra.

People began to hope that j the world would be safe for de- j mocracy, that the era of world j peace had dawned once more, and j that competition for armaments i was ended’ forever." Thus spoke Dr. John R. Mez, professor of economics and politi cal science in the University, and who, for the last two decades, has been active in the movement for world peace and disarmament, when interviewed yesterday. "The United States,” Dr. Mez said, "has always been for the out lawry of war as an instrument for settling international disputes. She was dragged to the World war, fought for a noble cause, and helped, to an incalculable extent, to bring that conflagration to its abrupt end on November 11, 1918. America restored peace with an expensive means. President Wil son’s dream of a League of Na tions became a realization and the world court is still in existence, but in order to have a perfect world organization, it is fervently hoped that America should join these bodies.” Professor Mez thinks that it is comforting to note that the peace sentiment has made stupendous progress since the past war, mainly an achievement of the League of Nations and the world court during the last 12 years. ‘‘It is gratifying,” he said, “to see that the United States is taking an ac tive leadership and initiative in the preparation of the forthcom ing disarmament conference of 1932 to be held in Geneva.” Dr. Mez believes that an eco nomic disarmament should follow military disarmament because the tariff walls interfere with the commerce of the world. “As provided in a manifesto is sued recently by the International Bank Commission which met in Basle, Switzerland, the world can’t get out of its economic depression and return to normalcy and pros perity without an economic dis armament,” Professor Mez con cluded. Mueller Explains Russian Theories To Rose City Club Professor Makes Study of Communism During Tour of Soviet “To many, Russia represents an experiment in communism,” said Dr. John H. Mueller in his speech at the Portland city club, Friday noon, November 6, at the Benson hotel, “but fundamentally Russia is a country without traditions of any kind. Dr. Mueller made, in his trip into the interior last sum mer, an extensive study of the in dustrial and welfare program of Russian communistic movement. “Her economic theory, her social philosophy, her educational pro cedure, her religion and morality, her penal practices and all other social policies represent a unique deviation from the corresponding practices in western civilization. She is after all, attempting to solve in her own way, the same problems with which we are con cerned : unemployment, poverty, • crime, education, and economic crises,” believes Dr. Mueller. The purpose of the Portland city club is to inform its members and the community in public matters and to arouse them to a realiza tion of the obligations of citizen ship. There has been an increased interest in public affairs as a re sult of the economic depression. According to the City club bulle tin, the club finds that never be fore has there been so much gen eral interest in our problems of business, government, education, taxation, social service. With so much interest taken by the gen eral public in these affairs the club is faced with a much greater opportunity for the achievements of its purposes. Many committees are being organized to look into tax reduction, city planning, old age pension, unemployment reliefs, public school economics, world court, and many other current problems. Professors To Examine Public Utility Regulations Beginning this week Professors Crumbaker, Erb, and research as sistant Joyce of the economics de partment of the University will make a series of trips to Salem and Portland to examine departmental records of public utility regula tions now on file in the libraries there. These files consist of publica tions in Oregon pertaining to pub lic utility regulations which date back to the ’40’s and are in the form of legislative journals, codes, and court reports. The three men will arrange the data in a concise form and the study will be submitted upon com pletion to the research council of the University. INFIRMARY CLAIMS SIX Patients in the infirmary are Theron Egbert, Patricia Sherrard, Francis Johns, Willis Warren, John Farrar and Richard Marlitt. David To Appear For Sigma Delta Chi at Convention Oregon Places Second in Efficiency Contest Last Year When the Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national journalism profes sional hold their annual convention November 16, 17, and 18 on the campus of the University of Min nesota at Minneapolis, the local Omicron chapter will be represent ed by Ralph David, president of the chapter. David will leave Friday after noon on the Cascade limited for Portland and from there will take a Great Northern train for Minne apolis. Last year the convention was held in Columbus, Ohio, and Nell, Taylor was the representative from Oregon. At this convention the local chapter placed second in the national efficiency contest, which is based upon activities en gaged in by the different chapters, and by the members both on the campus and the graduates. This was the highest place in the an nual contests that this chapter had attained since the founding of it in 1913. The local chapter also placed fourth in the achievement contest last year. This contest is judged by an exhibit of activities the rep resentatives display at the con vention. Some of the activities the chapter will be credited with this year are the “Green Goose,” scan dal sheet to be issued by the fra ternity the latter part of the school year. Sigma Delta Chi also awards a cup each year for the best judged weekly newspaper in the state, and this year will have charge of the annual high school press con test and will be in charge at the awarding of the five cups for the best judged newspapers and school year books. Joint promotion of the journalism! jamboree during the homecoming week, and activities of members in fields other than journalism will also be included.
