Big Dance Scheduled for
Post Rally Crowd
Campus Clothes in Order
For No-Date Affair;
Starts at Nine
Topping off the first day of
Homecoming with a bang, the
Journalism Jamboree, lucky Fri
day the 13tli dance, will hold forth
tonight at the men’s gym amidst
colored spotlights and flying ser
pentine.
The fact that the dance is
strictly a no-date affair is assur
ance that the hall will be crowded
with Oregon and Oregon State
students and a host of alumni, said
Merlin Blais, general chairman of
the affair, last night.
Jam Begins at 9
The Jam begins promptly at 9
o'clock, leaving plenty of time for
rally enthusiasts to get there.
Campus clothes are in order along
with rooters’ lids, but rally pa
jamas are taboo.
Gallons and gallons of free cider
will be furnished to the gang. The
Kampus Knights, Carl Collins’
eight-piece orchestra, will furnish
the music, and three or four lively
features are promised during in
termissions, including the “Max”
girls’ trio. Bill Duniway will be
master of ceremonies.

Works of Oregon Artists
Exhibited at Art Building
Pictures by University Students
And Faculty Shown
An exhibit of the work of Ore
gon artists is now on display in
the little museum in the school of
architecture and allied arts at the
University. The exhibit is part of
that shown recently in Portland as
the fifth annual exhibition of the
Oregon City of artists.
Pictures by several of Univer
sity of Oregon artists, a number of
which won prizes at the Portland
showing, are included in the col
lection, which is declared to be one
of unusual merit. Four of the
landscapes of Alfred Schroff, long
famous for them, are in the exhibit.
Victoria Avakian, Eyler Brown,
Maude I. Kerns, Andrew Vincent,
and N. B. Zane, all from the local
art school, are represented by a
number of pictures, as well as Nel
lie Best, and Lucia Wiley, students.
All townspeople and visitors
over Homecoming are invited to
see the exhibit, which includes
work from artists in every section
of Oregon. Much of the subject
matter, too, is of local interest.
The little museum is open from
8:30 to 11:30 in the morning, from
1 to 4:30 in the afternoon, on week
days, and from 2 to 5 on Sunday
afterenoons.
Prose and Poetry Group
Holds Business Meeting
Peggy McKie was elected vice
president of Prose and Poetry
group of Philomelete for the com
ing year at a meeting held last
night at the Alpha Omicron Pi
house.
Plans for a map of countries
and authors studied during the
year were made.
The next meeting of the group
will be held a week from next
Tuesday in the women’s lounge,
and will be entirely devoted to a
study of the poet Tagore of India.
Saturday Classes
To Be Dismissed
announcements, there will
be no classes held tomorrow.
The. student advisory com
mittee late yesterday afternoon
decided that because of the
large number of alumni expect
ed on the campus for Homecom
ing, and the responsibility of
the student? in planning enter
tainment and making arrange
ments for visiting “grads,” all
Saturday classes will be dis
missed.
This action, however, is not
to be considered as setting a
precedent, said Dean Onthank,
personnel director, but as spe
cial action advisable this year.
Rough Silent Men
Stake Claims on
/CONTRARY to previous an
Gold! Gold! Gold! The days of
'49 are reappearing in Oregon!
This morning at 9:40 o’clock a
gold strike surpassed only by the
famous gold rush to California
will be in progress on the field
just east of Condon hall. Bearded
prospectors of the '49 clan will be
busy panning for that most pre
cious of precious metals—gold.
This bewhiskered, claim-jumping
outfit will be, however, only the
pledges of Condon club going
through their initiation. The Con
don club is the Oregon chapter of
the National Geological and Min
ing Societies of American Univer
sities.
It is rumored that, as in all gold
rushes, there will be much shoot
ing, claim jumping, and toughness.
Five rough, unkempt miners will
be at the scene of mining activi
ties. “Calcite” Clift, “Pyrite”
Peck, “Staurolite" Stafford, “He
matite” Harris, and “Galena” Gon
zales will all be on the scene do
ing their bit.
Alumni Lunch To Be Held
At Men’s New Dormitory
Sons and Daughters Appointed on
Decoration Committee
Daughters and sons of alumni
as well as nephews and brothers
have been appointed on a commit
tee on decorations for the alumni
luncheon at Homecoming. The
committee members, all of whom
are freshmen, are Bernard Asheim,
chairman; Margaret Ann Morgan,
Jack Copeland, Josephine Waffle,
Max Duniway, and James C. I
Ghormley.
The Alumni luncheon is to be
held at noon Saturday of Home
coming at the men’s new dormi
tory, at the same time that the
student lunch is being served at
the Igloo.
There are only 200 places avail
able, Miss Calkins pointed out, and
therefore, alumni who do not make
their reservations before Friday
night will have to make other ar
rangements. Tickets for the stu
dent lunch at the Igloo may be
purchased by alumni. “We expect
that most of those who cannot be
accommodated at the Alumni
luncheon will buy tickets for the
lunch at McArthur Court,” said
Miss Calkins.
Asheim, chairman of the com
mittee, reports that the decora
tions will be worked out in the
Oregon colors and that special fa
vors and features are being ar
ranged by his freshman commit
tee.

Women Are Free
First Time Tonite
To Join Pep Rally
^OMAN — the emancipated!
Tonight at 5:30 she can don
her low heels, stock up on pep,
and be at Cocoanut Grove to
join the men of Oregon on their
long trek to 7th and Willam
ette streets.
For the first tiriie in campus
history, she will march, shoul
der to shoulder with the men,
marching as they march, and
chanting as they chant. She can
stagger heroically down 11th
street to Oak, on to Willam
ette, and from there to 7th
street—where, climaxing her
long pilgrimage she can lend
her lung-power to man’s in a
last burst of enthusiasm. It’s
the first time—and the worst
or best time, take your choice.
Bonfire Reported Ready as
First Light of Dawn Comes
Guards Stationed Around
Campus, Butte; Co-eds
Serve Workers
The frosh bonfire is ready!
Skinner's Butte, scene of the
frosh bonfire, hummed with activ
ity last night. A large crowd oi
freshman men gathered to put the
finishing touches on the great
mass of logs, paper, and old lum
ber which will be set off tonight,
and to provide assurance that no
invasion from Oregon State would
be successful in undoing their
work.
When first arriving at the foot
of the butte the reporter was
stopped by an important looking
individual who proved to be Leo
Merle, chairman of the vigilance
committee, and was allowed to
proceed to the scene of the bonfire
only after much arguing. Only
freshmen were being allowed ad
mittance.
Several small bonfires illumined
the clear, cold night and provided
warmth for the frosh who packed
around them.
Helen Nelson and her cohorts
were dispensing baked beans,
slightly burned; bread, and a dark
liquid which she called coffee, to
the hungry workers.
Howard Steib, class president,
was doing his best to impress his
fellow freshmen with the impor
tance of his office.
Parks Hitchcock was busy try
ing to get some publicity for him
self.
Chuck Clay, general chairman of
the bonfire, and Jeff Howard, con
struction chairman, were conspic
uous by their absence.
On the campus the freshmen
were doing their duty also. Sev
eral groups were stationed in dif
ferent sections of the campus to
guard against another invasion of
paint daubers. Coffee and sand
wiches were served from a station
in front of the Administration
building.

Helen Binfortl Discusses
European Impressions
Attitude of Students Different;
Work Is Main Object
The thing that impresses one
most during a visit to European
universities is that students go to
colleges for academic purposes
rather than to have a good time,
was the opinion expressed by Miss
Helen Binford at the last “Sunday
Supper” at the International house.
Miss Binford, who was one of
eight women students of the Unit
ed States selected to travel through
Europe as a representative of the
Y. W. C. A., visited many places
of interest there.
Next Sunday, Professor Juan B.
Rael of the department of Ro
mance languages of the University,
will speak about the people of
New Mexico, who are of pure
Spanish stock and are still living
in the ways of Old Spain. It w'as
from these people that Mr. Rael
gathered folk tales which he com
piled last year to be published in
the form of a book.
TWO STUDENTS SPEAK
Rolla Reedy, junior in education,
and Wallace Campbell, senior in
sociology, spoke at the Walker
high school on depression and so
cial planning.

A program including short ad

most noted members of the bar
and featuring alumni participation
has been arranged by the local
chapter of Phi Delta Phi, national
law honorary, for its homecoming
reunion banquet to be held Satur

Lawrence Harris, ex-justice of
the Oregon supreme court, Ashby

and Prof. Carlton D. Spencer, rep
resenting the alumni will speak
at the gathering.
The reunion program is designed
to offer homecoming grads a
chance to talk over their expe
riences and problems with other
alumni and present members, stat
ed Merrill Swenson, who is ar
ranging the dinner and program.
Music will also be a part of the
entertainment. Edward Fisher
was appointed to take charge of
this feature. Swenson will wel
come the old members back as
part of the after dinner program
while William Knight is to be
toastmaster.
Invitations have been accepted
by prominent jurors, practitioners,
and prosecuting attorneys from all
parts of the state, Swenson and
Knight said yesterday. “Already
the acceptances received point to a
large attendance. It is probable
that tomorrow’s mail will bring
still more.”
A general invitation to all alum
ni members of Phi Delta Phi who
will be on the campus Saturday
has been issued by Swenson. These
visitors are asked to make reser
vations with him.
Art Museum To Be Open
To Public This Week-End
Murray Warner Collection Now in
Memorial Building

seum, now located in the Prince
L. Campbell memorial building,
will be open for inspection on Fri
day, Saturday, and Sunday of this
week at the hours of 5 to 10
o’clock in the evening.
Students who have already seen
the collection would be well re
warded to view it again under the
artificial light provided in the new
location as it greatly increases the
beauty of the display, reports in
dicate.
After this week the display will
be open on Sunday evenings from
5 to 7 o’clock under artificial
light. The longer opening for in
spection this week-end was ar
ranged to give the visiting alumni
a chance to visit the building and

vironment.
Revival of Old
Lid Tradition
Peps Campus
Green and Yellow Caps
Bloom Everywhere
Rumors Thai Lidless Will
Be Barred From Game
Discredited
In order to quiet the rumor that
only students with rooters’ caps
would be admitted to the rooting
section Saturday, Kermit Stevens,
president of the Order of the ’’O,'’
declared today that all students
would be admitted but that those
wearing the lids would have their
choice of seats.
The campus-wide campaign for
the wearing of rooters’ lids which
has been sponsored by the letter
men has met with success, Stevens
said.
All LUls Sold
"All rooters caps available had
been sold at 5:30 yesterday after
noon. The order which we placed
called for 900 lids and it fell
through. We were able to obtain
only 600, all of which have been
purchased,” Stevens stated.
When advised that there was
some adverse criticism concerning
the stand which the Order of the
“O” has taken on the question of
rooters’ lids, Brian Mimnaugh,
president of the associated stu
dents, made the following state
ment:
Revives School Spirit
"I cannot understand this atti
tude. In my opinion, this revival
of an old tradition has done much
toward building up the school
spirit, which has been at low ebb
for some time.
“There are, of course, some stu
dents on the campus who feel they
cannot afford to spend the money
for the rooters’ lids, but I think
they are in the minority. All the
larger universities of the country
require the wearing of rooters’
lids to the football games.
"The Order of the ‘O’ has taken
no drastic steps, so far as I know,
to enforce the wearing of the lids,
and I think the greater part of
the student body will agree that
they have rendered a real service
to the University.’’
Tryouts for Men’s Debate
Team To Be Thursday
Tryouts for men’s varsity debate
will be held Thursday evening at
7:15, November 19 in Villard hall.
The question will be: "Resolved,
That the cutting of wages has ma
terially retarded recovery from the
present depression.”
Drawing for speaking places will
begin at 7:15 and each speaker will
appear alternatively affirmative
and negative.
All men students, except fresh
men are eligible. Members of var
sity squads in preceding years are
expected to try out under the same
rules as new candidates.
John L. Casteel, associate pro
fessor of English, requests that
everyone who expects to enter the
tryouts should sign up in the
speech department to speak on
either the affirmative or negative
or the question.
Students Must
Get Game Tickets
From C°-op Now
J AST warnings were issued
^ yesterday by the graduate
manager’s office, for students
to get their special tickets for
Saturday’s game at the Co-op.
These tickets will be required

in order to get in the rooting
section gate, Ronald II. Rob
nett, assistant graduate mana

that volunteers to help in finish
ing the decorating on the campus
and down town were needed. Four
arches have been erected on the
campus and down town stores are
co-operating in every way to make
this the most colorful Homecom
