Students Show
Enthusiasm at
First Assembly
Dr. Kerr Welcomes New
Students Here
TONGUE CONFIDENT
Callison Asks Students to Support
Oregon Football Team;
Pep Talks Given
Confident enthusiasm for the
coming year was the keynote at
the first student body assembly of
the term yesterday in Gerlinger
hall. A larger crowd than usual
reflected the optimistic trend in
student activities predicted by the
speakers on the program. Enthu
siastic applause and a spirit of
pep were in evidence.
To Tom Tongue, president of the
Associated Students, the assembly
meant more than an activity or a
dismissal from 11 o’clock classes.
“It marks the beginning of a new
student year, a year full of hope
and promise,” he stated.
Students Responsible
He declared that a successful
year depends upon the attitude of
the students themselves and their
cooperation. He stressed the need
of student support for a winning
■ football team. “The team needs
pep and zip, and they can’t have it
unless the student body gets be
hind them.”
After welcoming the new stu
dents and congratulating them on
their opportunity to partake of the
advantages offered by the Univer
sity, Chancellor W. J. Kerr urged
the students to support their team
and school. Although the football
team plays the game, he said that
the final outcome depends on the
attitude of the student body.
criticism evident'
"You all know that in the last
few years there has been a spirit
of criticism toward education, es
pecially higher education,” Kerr
remarked. He said that even
though many were not profiting
from higher education, it was be
ing said that too many were being
trained in the University.
Since this spirit exists Chancel
lor Kerr declared it particularly
important that each student fulfill
his obligations to the state by
keeping in mind the responsibility
to himself. He urged students to
make the most of opportunity and
show appreciation to their parents
for their aid.
Coach Prink Callison stated that
he has never seen cooperation and
enthusiasm equal to that of this
year’s football squad. However,
he does, not believe the team can
win alone, without student sup
port.
“I believe cooperation does not
stop with the squad, but goes on
with the rest of the student body,”
he asserted.
Williams Talks
Baz Williams, well-known alum
nus and one time Oregon guard
and tackle, pounced with ven
geance on Oregon’s past practice
of hunting a “miracle man,” a
coach who could produce a winning
team without an iota of student
support. “When you change coach
es year after year,” he declared,
“you lose your spirit.” Emphasiz
ing his point, he stated that the
schools that retain their coaches
have the best teams.
“Hi, dark and handsome!" from
the women and a “hello” from the
men, will, according to Williams,
cheer up the lame football men.
New yells, and their mode of ex
ecution, comprised the pep fea
ture led by Mickey Vail, yell
king. Music by the band preceded
the assembly.
Protection Necessary
For Library Volumes
Removal of the Encyclopedia
Italiana to a remote corner in the
reference department of the li
brary has become necessary in or
der to protect the illustrations of
the work, according to Miss Le
nore Casford, reference librarian.
Although this is a very recent
work, having thus far been pub
lished only up to the letter "G,”
one volume has already been re
bound because so many illustra
tions were cut out. Replacing the
material and rebinding the book
was an extremely expensive un
dertaking.
Penalties for mutilating library
books are very severe. Miss Cas
ford said. In some instances stu
dents have been expelled for this
offense.
Oregon Students May Soon Be Studying in This Proposed Library
Above is a picture of the $350,000 library proposed for the University campus. The state board of higher education has approved tentative plans for the construction of the edifice. Many novel
features would be incorporated into the new building, such as a “browsing” room fo r recreational reading, and study rooms arranged for different classes of students. T he building would have a holding
capacity of nearly half a million volumes. M. If. Douglass, University librarian, states that students would spend less time traveling among the various libraries than they do now because all books would
be stored in the one main library.
Budget Slashing
Features Initial
Meeting of AWS
Plans for Activities During Coming
Year Made; Vocational Sessions
Will Be Replaced
The popular amusement of the
day, economy and budget cutting,
came to the fore in women’s ac
tivities last night, when a revolu
tion in the University of Oregon
social events was presented by the
A. W. S. planning conference at
this term’s first A. W. S. council
meeting.
The recommendations of the
conference were accepted by the
council, and are to be submitted
to heads of houses for approval.
First in the desperate search for
budget cutting came the decision
to limit house dances to two a
year, both of which are not to ex
ceed a certain expenditure. To re
duce costs still further, a prize
is to be given to the house which
lights upon the cleverest and most
economical dance decorations.
Invitations to teas and recep
tions can no longer be engraved,,
and although they may under
necessity be written, they should
be telephoned in order to save
stamps.
Each house may have one night
a week to entertain either men
for dessert, individual women
guests for dinner, or faculty for
dinner. Men may come to wo
men’s houses for tea every other
Sunday as always, but Sunday
dinners for men are limited to one
a term.
A new variety of open house
was suggested, in which one wo
men’s house will be open each
week either Friday or Saturday
night to any couples on the cam
pus, who may come there and
dance to the phonograph or radio.
This idea, however, will not re
place the customary grand “open
house,” which is recommended by
the A. W. S. council to be held
this year as early in the term as
possible. However, open house for
1933 will not be planned definitely,
until it is accepted by heads of
houses and interfraternity council.
Other plans for the year were
made, free from the desire for
budget cutting. A party for fresh
men and f'-osh councillors, to be
given soon under the direction of
Kwama, was planned, with Henri
ette Horak and Ebba Wicks placed
in charge of the affair.
The vocational meetings of last
year are to be replaced by a vo
cational week winter term, at
which time three round-tables will
be held each day, with noted'
speakers discussing each line of
work.
Oregon Mothers to Be
Entertained at Large
Portland Social Affair
The first large social event of
the term for mothers of Oregon
students is planned for October
10 in Portland, the dean of wo
men’s office announced yester
day. Mrs. Walter Cook is en

at her home.
Dean Schwering asks stu
dents to urge their mothers to
attend the affair.

Campus Opinion Expressed
On Tradition of Open House
By ELINOR HENRY
How old is the tradition of open
house? No one seems to know.
It was ancient and accepted when
Miss Sue Badollet and Mrs. Lucy
Perkins came to the campus as
housemothers 15 years ago. To
Mrs. O. F. Stafford, daughter of
the late Dean John Straub, it
seems never to have had a begin
ning—only to have been!
"Of course the campus was
smaller then, and it was easier to
get around,” Miss Badollet re
marked. “Personally, I’d hate to
see it given up. They’re tired, and
all that, but they do have fun!”
Mrs. Perkins recalled that in her
first years on the campus open
house contained more interesting
features than today. Punch and
wafers were served until they ran
out. It was not so systematized
as it now is.
The chief modern argument
against open house seems to be
the distance the men have to walk
between dances. Men who are for
it apparently are those who have
ways to ride. Arguments for it
are that it gives a man a chance
\ to meet the gorgeous blonde he
has seen on the campus and hasn't
been introduced to, to discover
some girl with a pleasing person
ality and a mind akin to his, and
to feel free to say “Hello” to

Deadline for Late
Registration Set
At Saturday Noon
Estimated Enrollment Above 1975;
Fewer Graduate Asslstantships
Offered This Year
The University’s registration
figures climbed slowly toward the
2000 mark today, the registrar’s
office estimating the enrollment
to last night as 1975. Graduate
students, who have been slow in
registering, must make their final
arrangements before Saturday
noon, or pay the regular late reg
istration fee of $1 a day, with a
$5 limit.
There is an encouraging in
crease of new students, registra
tion officials said, though this 10
per cent larger figure is some
what overbalanced by the 15 per
cent drop in the number of old
students, probably due to the small
size of iast year’s freshman class.
Far fewer graduate students
are registered at this time than
at the same time last year, a phe
nomenon at least partially ex
plained by the deep cut in gradu
ate assistantships this year.
E. P. Lyons, University cashier,
issued a request last night that
graduate students register today,
in order to avoid congestion Sat
urday morning. Registration will
be absolutely closed, even with
payment of late payment fees, at
the end of next week, Lyons said.
Local Teachers’
Articles Printed
September issues of the Oregon
Historical Quarterly and the Pa
cific Historical Review contain
articles by two professors in the
department of history.
R. C. Clark, authority on his
tory of the Northwest, is author
of “Aberdeen and Peel on Ore- ]
gon,” in the Oregon Historical
Quarterly. The article contains a
collection of letters written at the
height of the boundary dispute in
1844 between England and the
United States. The two corre
spondents were Sir Robert Peel
and Lord Aberdeen, British for
eign minister.
"The United States and Sino
Korean Relations, 1885-1887” by
Harold J. Noble, instructor in his
tory of the Far East, appears in
the Pacific Historical Review. It
traces the unfortunate diplomatic
career of Lieutenant G. C. Foulk,
American representative at the
Korean court from 1885 to 1887,
and offers justification for his ac
tions.

Business Library Has
Enlarged Circulation
The business administration li
brary was enlarged and repainted
during the summer to take care
of the increasing circulation which
it is called upon to handle. “One
hundred more books were circu
lated in the first two days of
classes than in the corresponding
period last year,” stated Miss
Frances Corcoran, who is in
charge.
The library now has 4800 vol
umes and subscribes to 40 maga
zines and newspapers dealing with
business administration. It also
handles the drawing boards and
bookkeeping equipment that is
used in the school.
Traditional Dad’s Day
Set for Late October
The traditional Dad's day will
be held the latter part of October,
according to Earl M. Pallett, exe
utive secretary of the Oregon
Dad's association. It has been the
custom in past years to devote one
of the big football game days to
celebration with Oregon fathers.
Definite plans are now being
formed by the executive council
of dads, of which W. Lair Thomp
son of Portland, is president. The
program will be announced in the
near future, and student committee
appointments will be made by Tom
Tongue, Associated Student presi
dent.

Drive to Be Made
By International
House Directors
Membership Campaign to Win
American and Foreign
Students Planned
"My whole attitude toward the
United States was changed by my
residence in International House,"
a “guest" student on the Univer
sity of Oregon once wrote to Mrs.
Harold S. Tuttle, "mother” of the
87 American and foreign students
who have made International I
House their home at various times
during the last irour years.
Because, to succeed, the house
must have both American and for
eign students living there, a pro
motional drive to interest young
men in joining the organization
has been announced by the board
of directors of International house.
This term too few applied for
membership to warrant keeping
the large house open, but the com
mittee to be appointed for the pro
motional campaign will be expect
ed to help University students to
understand the values to be gained
from living on intimate terms with
others whose backgrounds are
widely different from their own.
According to Dr. Victor P.
Morris, who was elected to the
presidency after the resignation
of Dr. Harold J. Noble at a meet
ing of the board of directors held
yesterday afternoon in Johnson i
hall, the decision to suspend the I
operation of the house for a term j
was only made after much discus- ,
sion. i
“Invaluable financial support
anil other aid has been given by
the Rotary club and other organi
zations of both men and women,”
Dr Morris said. “It will be the
purpose of the promotion commit
tee to work out such a reorganiza
tion as wili best conserve the splen
did efforts put into International
House by these organizations and
by Mrs. Tuttle, who has from the
beginning been the chief sponsor
of the living group.”
Aid in further upbuilding of the
organization and enlistment of
support has been pledged by the
Y. M. C. A. leaders, Dr. Morris
added.

PLANS INCOMPLETE
Action Taken as Compensation to
Students for Transfer to
Portland Field
A free train to Portland and
free admission to the Oregon-Ore
gon State game with student body
tickets were promised last r.ight
by Tom Tongue, president of the
student body.
This action is taken primarily
:o compensate Oregon students for
the removal of the game to Port

rhe game will be played in Mult
nomah stadium on Saturday, No
vember 11.
According to present plans the

umni have planned in Portland on
Lhat evening. Final plans will be
disclosed at a later date.
This year will be the sixth game
nf the Oregon-Oregon State series
to be played away from either Eu
gene or Corvallis, since 1894. In
1908 the game was played at Port
land for the first time, Oregon
winning over the Staters by a
score of 8-0. During 1912, 1913,
and 1914 the games were played at
Albany, Oregon winning one game,
the others being tied. Then again
during the war the game was
played in Portland with Oregon
State winning 14-7.
Sinoe 1894 the two schools have
engaged in 37 gridiron combats.
Of these Oregon has won 21 times,
Oregon State nine times, and seven
games have been tied. Since 1922
the scores have been evenly divid
ed, each school having won five
games, and one ending in a score
less tie.
