All-American Girl Will Be Chosen by New York Group University Magazine Will Select Fairest Oregon Co-ed From Five Contestants Photographs of the five finalists in the University magazine all American girl contest sponsored by the Order of the O are being taken now. As soon as completed these pictures will be rushed by air mail to University magazine in New York. They will be judged and the winner picked there by a commit tee composed of prominent New York journalists and artists. These five qualifying girls selected Sat urday night at the Varsity O ball at the igloo under the watchful eyes of some 600 spectators are: Betty Graham, Peggy Carper, Marytine New, Miriam Henderson, and Margaret DeYoung. As soon as this judging commit tee in the East makes its decision as to who the all-American girl of Oregon is, she will be presented with the loving cup given by Skeie's jewelry store. Plans are now under way to make this pre sentation a formal affair. The five winners were picked from the group of 18 girls during the dance by the judging commit tee. As the orchestra played “All American Girl,” these 18 nominees walked down the stairs and across the hall to the judging stand. Each was greeted with an outburst of applause as she made her appear ance in the spotlight and started her march across the hall Pictures of the remaining 13 girls have also been taken and will be considered by the eastern judges for second, third and fourth plac es but the winner is to be picked from the first five selected by the local group. The list of these 13 girls who were in the original group of 18 picked by the secret nominating committee includes: Mar.ion Bass, Ruth Byerly, DOro isttiy • Ann Clark,1 Elizabeth ’ Crom melin, Edith Crohnman, Bettie Curtis, Helen Doyle, Charlotte El dridge, Francis Fernley, Margaret Ann Howiand, Helen Kalenback, (Continued on Pacje Three) Washington Rooters Greeted By Fire Engines in Portland Fire engines were present at the Union station in Portland yester day morning to greet 85 Seattle business men arriving in a “blaze” of glory to perform the annual challenge day ceremonies preced ing the Oregon-Washington game in Seattle October 14. After an impromptu welcome at the station they were taken aboard thehir impressive transports to the Multnomah hotel where the Port land Breakfast club entertained them at breakfast, where 30 pieces of the Oregan band and Mickey Vail kept the gathering in good spirits and enthusiastic over the coming game. “Mickey made that crowd of business men yell like a bunch of college boys,” remarked Tom Tongue, student body presi dent. The band also aided the ad vertising campaign for the game by playing over KGW and KEX. The group was entertained at lunch by the chamber cf commerce at the Portland hotel. Challenge day was originated four years ago by Aaron Frank and has been continued each year by a group from the city which had the game. Last year Hugh E. Rosson, graduate manager, and several Portland business men went to Seattle by airplane for the ceremony and this year Seattle countered by sending a record del egation of 85. Much of Seattle’s enthusiasm may be attributed to the fact that for the last five years Washington has not scored on Ore gon and Seattle is beginning to ask for a new deal. Oregon has won four of the last five contests, the one last year be ing a scoreless tie.

A. Dahlberg, men’s debate coach, yesterday. “It is also important,” Dahlberg continued, “that all men who are interested should confer with me in room 13 of Friendly hall some time before the tryouts.” Fresh men and sophomores are especially invited.” Dahlberg further stated that all candidates at Thursday night's tryouts will be required to give a five-minute talk on some subject of current interest. “I should like all men inter ested in debate to understand that the symposium system that we are using this year is not or was never intended to be similar to the competitive type of debate with which most people are fa miliar.

Tuttle, head resi dent of International house, in ad dressing a group of students at Westminster house Sunday morn ing. She told the group that a woman who tried to start a simi lar institution on the Seattle cam pus was barred on every side, and so strong was the prejudice there that the woman had to leave Se attle for a year. A Filipino boy who was sent to Seattle from his home in the islands became so discouraged that he not only decided to quit college, but also lost his faith in Christianity. He was persuaded to come to Oregon, and here found things very different. He later wrote to Mrs. Tuttle, telling her how much his life at International house had meant to him, and in forming her that he had decided to experiment with our God once more. Mrs. Tuttle related a number of interesting experiences which had come to her at International house. She said that she believed this in stitution has done a great deal to change the social consciousness of the campus, that a liberality is possible now that was never pos sible before. At present International house is closed temporarily. Most of the residents last year were graduate students, and it was felt this fall that there were not enough men left on the campus who planned to live there to make the opening of the house worth while.
