Mathews Lists Plans for
Rally Tomorrow Night
Merchants Cooperate To
< Put Town in Gala Attire
For Homecoming
Plans for the hugest Homecom
ing celebration in the history of
the University of Oregon are prac
Carson Mathews
tically completed,
iccording to John
Penland, of Pen
dleton, chairman
of the event.
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.
In order that the rally may form
at this time, all organizations will
hold 5 o’clock dinners. 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.
Town Decorations Good
From all indications, Penland
said, the down-town decorations
will be the best in recent years.
Students from the campus will be
on hand tomorrow to help with
the down-town decorating, which
is being directed by one of the
force of the Buster Brown Shoe
company.
Registration Prize Offered
Elizabeth Scruggs, who is in
charge of the registration for the
alums, has announced a $5 prize
to the representative of any living
organization who succeeds in
bringing the largest number of
alumni to the Ad building to reg

Open Season For
Ducking Lidless
Sophs on Today
Today’s the day! And it's alsc
open season on the sophomores
who have not purchased their root
ers' lids. From today on, all sophs
that appear on the campus sans
lids will be eligible for either a
mill-racing or a ducking in the
peanut pond at the side of the libe
—the penalty to be carried out by
the frosh who are already attired
in the lids.
The freshman class responded
practically to a man to the Order
of the “O’s” request for the re
viving of the Oregon rooters’ lid
tradition and they have expressed
their willingness to further co
operate with the lettermen in see
ing that all underclassmen wear
lids for the remainder of the week.
Also starting this morning, the
proprietors and employees of the
commercial establishments in the
region of Thirteenth and Kincaid
will further help to put the idea
across by wearing the lids during
the business hours of the various
stores.

“Oregon’s Outstanding Geologi

Requirement for
Honor Role To Be
2.0-Point Average
Faculty Committee Makes
Standards To Fit
New System r
A grade average of B will en
title the student to be listed on
the honor roll this year, the reg
istrar’s office announced yester
day. 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. \

Wear your rooters’ caps, sug
gests the committee, and wear
campus clothes if you like. There
will be just enough time to slip
out of those rally pajamas into
campus garb before the dance gets
under way. It's a no-date affair,
ind 50 cents admits anyone. Some
real features are to be presented

Mez Argues For Arbitration
As Way To Universal Peace
"Exactly thirteen years ago, the
bells were ringing and the hearts
of men were rejoicing, for the
World war had then come to an
end. 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,

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

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.
Marion Fluke, senior in music,
underwent an operation for ap
pendicitis last Friday at the Pa
cific Christian hospital. She is re
covering from her illness and will
soon be able to leave the hospital.

World Fellowship Group
Of YWCA Meet Tonight
“Gandhi and World Peace” To Be
Topic of Discussion
“Gandhi and World Peace" will
be the subject of a talk by Reuben
B. Porter, executive secretary of
the campus Y. M. C. A., at the Y.
W. C. A. World Fellowship fire
side discussion to be held tonight
at 7:45 at the Y. M. C. A.
"While India can never return
to the relationship she used to have
with Great Britain, one would be
foolish t6 try to predict an imme
diate future for India with British
politics as they are today,” com
mented Mr. Porter. “I shall con
fine myself, therefore, to what has
happened rather than any forecast
of events.”
The general phases of the na
tionalist movement, how it came
into being, how it works, and the
contribution of Gandhi to world
peace, are a few of the topics
which Mr. Porter will touch upon.
An invitation is extended to all
interested in this subject to come
to the Y. M. C. A. tonight.
