Guest of Affair
California Graduates Plan
i Pre-Game Meeting at
Clift Hotel
Tomorrow evening Oregon alum
ni in the Bay region will gather
in San Francisco for one of those
famous Oregon get-togethers. The
meeting which has come to be al
most an annual affair before the
St. Mary’s-Oregon game, will be
held at the Clift hotel Wednesday
at 7 o’clock in the evening.
As guest of honor the San Fran
cisco alumni have invited Presi
dent Arnold Bennett Hall, who is
to arrive in that city Wednesday
morning from Chicago.
On the alumni committee pre
paring for the affair are David L.
McDaniel, ’12, president of the Bay
Region alumni; Stanley C. Eisman,
’22; and Don Davis, ’21, all of San
Francisco.
Calkins Gets Word
Word received yesterday by
Jeannette Calkins, alumni secre
tary, from Mr. Davis indicated that
they were expecting an excellent
r crowd at the affair.
“Alumni look forward to this
meeting in San Francisco all
year,” said Miss Calkins, “and us
ually we find them coming into the
city especially for this meeting and
then staying over for the St. Mary’s
Oregon game on Thanksgiving
day. It is an ideal time to have
the meeting for, since the next day
is a vacation, they may spend a
longer time in the city. Last year
alumni came to the dinner from as
far away as San Jose, Sacramento,
Woodland, Vallejo, Palo Alto, and
of course, from Berkeley, Oak
land, Alameda, and the near vicin
ity of San Francisco.”
Meier, Spears Present
At the meeting last year, as
guests of honor, were Governor
Julius Meier and Doctor C. W.
Spears. Governor Meier was then
governor-elect, but had not yet as
sumed office. Greetings were sent
to that alumni meeting by Gover
nor-elect *Rolf of California, who
y was then mayor of San Francisco.
Jeannette Calkins, alumni secre
tary, is planning to leave today at

Cards announcing the dinner

Oregon Grad Proposes
Accounting Association
“That former students and grad
uates of the University who are
following the accounting profes

editor of Old Oregon.
Certified public accountants who
wish to belong to this association
are urged to write to J. B. Burle
son, C.P.A., 721 Fidelity Union

One of Senior Six Relates
Reaction to Honor Received
By GEORGE ROOT
The old libe last night missed
one of its regular customers, a
fair-haired little girl with a big
smile and a very business-like at
titude. She was hurriedly searched
for. She had to be found. There
was a question to ask her.
In a comfortable chair at home
sat the fair-haired little girl read
ing a copy of “Alice in Wonder
land.” It was Thelma Lund, senior
in education, who was last week
chosen as one of the Senior Six by
Phi Beta Kappa. There was no
time lost in asking her the impor
tant question: How does it feel to
have been given such an honor?
Thelma lost no time ii* answer
ing the important question. “It
^ took me off my feet. I was cer
tainly surprised. I’m awfully
pleased, though,” she said.
Thelma graduated from Eugene
high and majored in English her
first two years at Oregon. In or
der to gain “a little more lee-way”
for her last two years she changed
her major to education. French is
her favorite study and next semes
ter she is planning on doing prac
tice teaching in French in the Uni
versity high.
Her activities show a versatile
range of interests. She is a mem
ber of Pi Lambda Theta, national
education honorary, plays a violin
in the orchestra, and is head of the
women’s athletic association hock
ey team.
“I have never definitely formu
lated a method for studying,” she
said. “I simply take a survey each
Monday of the coming week’s work
and distribute my studying accord
ingly. This program often goes
astray,” she added, laughing, “if
one has professors who give fre
quent exams.”
Thelma loves to read and is
building her library “book by
book.” Her latest addition is a
very fine English printing of Mal
lory’s "Morte d’Arthur.” However,
her course doesn't allow much time
for outside reading, she said, as it
is “a heavy reading course with
^ots of papers.”

Campus Sunday
TORRRRR! Winter has come!
So say the studes from
sunny southland climates as
they prepare for slumber with
the living room rugs rolled up
under their arms, with their
feet swollen to inhuman propor
tions Ity the addition of a dozen
pair of socks or so, and with
the aid of overcoats, scarfs, mit
tens, and other accessories man
age to convert themselves into
likenesses of prospective polar
explorers.
But the chilly blasts do not
cease with merely the practical
side. They have their play In
life’s little tragedies, as ike
Fijis will admit, rubbing their
bruised shins.
It seems that some co-eds
from the land of orange blos
soms and eternal (?) sunshine
desired to witness for the first
time the effect of winter’s icy
grip—and helpfully aided na
ture by pouring hot water on
their front steps previous to the
arrival of their masculine din
ner guests.
Not only did the fair maidens
enjoy the success of their ven
ture, but the men “fell hard”
for the scheme, too.

New Contract
Webfoot in Good Condition
For Contest Thursday,
Spears Says
By HARRY VAN DINE
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., NoV.
23.— (Special to the Emerald.)—•
Football teams representing the
University of Oregon and St.
Mary’s college will continue their
annual Thanksgiving day battle in
San Francisco for the next six
years as a result of an agreement
reached Monday by Hugh E. Ros
son and Louie LeFevre, graduate
managers of the two schools. The
original three-year contract will
not expire until the 1932 game is
played, but athletic relations be
tween the two schools have been
30 satisfactory that an agreement
was signed to extend the games
until 1937.
The Webfoots and Gaels played
their first game in 1929 and the
contest met with such approval
that a three-year contract was
signed to take effect the following
year.
“Athletic relations between Ore
gon and St. Mary’s have been very
satisfactory,” Rosson declared in
commenting upon the new agree
ment,” and we decided to continue
the annual contests through an
other five-year period starting in
1933.”
While the graduate managers
were meeting, Dr. Clarence W.
Spears, Oregon grid mentor, start
ed preparations for this year’s
turkey day battle. He had his
Webfoots out for a light signal
drill on the Burlington high turf
gridiron Monday afternoon, and
the Oregon squad reported in fine
[physical condition after their- 13
, to-6 victory over U. C. L. A. at
Los Angeles last Saturday.
Colonel Bill Hayward, veteran
Webfoot trainer, declared that : 'i *
Spearsmen will be in their t<.. vcu*
! dition for the battle with the
.Gaels, Bill Morgan, regular
tackle, was the only Webfoot to
be injured in the game and he is
completely recovered now. Leigh
j ton Gee, regular half, who was
kept out of the Bruin game with
injuries, will be ready to start at
his old post against St. Mary's.
Spears is concentrating his at
tention towards building up a de
fense for the vaunted Gael passing
attack. St. Mary’s has consist
ently used the aerial route in this
| season’s play and the Oregon men
, tor will work his men hard to per
fect a defense for the Gael tosses,
j The Webfoots arrived in the bay
region early Sunday morning and
are quartered at San Mateo, where
| they will remain until just before
game time. They went through
Monday’s workout in fine spirits
and are determined to end their
season with a victory over Slip
Madigan’s powerful crew of hus
kies.
Interest in the game is running
high and present indications point
to a large turnout for the battle.
While St. Mary’s is a slight favor
ite, both coaches anticipate a close
game. Madigan scouted the Web
foots in their game with the

Home and Christmas Music
Presented at Evans’ Recital
People once more crowded the
music auditorium Sunday, the late
comers sitting on the steps or
standing at the exits, to hear John
Stark Evans present the la3t twi
light organ recital for this term.
The program included three
numbers particularly adapted to
the home atmosphere prevalent
near the Thanksgiving and Christ
mas season.
“Largo,” from the New World
symphony expressed the homesick
ness of Anton Dvork, the great
Russian composer, who lived for a
time in America gathering mater
ial for a symphony. Southern mel
odies were evident, although a cer
| tain Russian style seemed to be
implied with the beautifully famil
iar harmonies on the organ.
“Improvisation on Christmas
themes” made one remember long
forgotten starry Christmas eves.
The well-known songs were clev
erly arranged with contrasts of
grand and melodious themes.
Joseph Clokey, contemporary
California composer and organist,
who is known for his light opera,
“Our American Cousin,” is also
the composer of “Fireside Fan
cies.” This group of delightful lit
tle sketches as played by Mr.
Evans was particularly enjoyable.
The Twilight organ recitals will
be resumed next term. They have
been discontinued because of the
coming holidays.
