Robinson has been studying in the physiological laboratories at Harvard the past two years, work ing toward his Ph.D. While there he aided in carrying on physical fatigue examinations with such well-known trackmen as Don Lash, Tommy Deckard, Charley Horn bostel, Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Romani, Gene Venske, and Chuck Fenske. It was found that these men, when performing exhausting work on a treadmill, had super-normal capacities for oxygen consumption, and very strong hearts. Doctors have averred, says Rob inson, that the cases of athletes burning out are vastly exaggerat ed in number and that of the thou sands of athletes entering life af ter graduation each year, only a scant few are impaired in health. The rest are bettered for their competition. # * * Proverbs Early to bed and early to rise Makes a man a wee bit unpopu lar.

Grandstand to Have Larger Seating Unit i Construction Will Be Completed in Two Months Construction is scheduled to begin November 16 on the Hay ward field grandstands, it was an nounced yesterday by J. O. Lind strom, University business man ager. Approximately three thousand seats will be added to the present grandstand, bringing the total seating capacity up to 18,279.

Total cost of the operations will be $32,000, Lindstrom said, with $17,600 coming as an outright grant from the PWA. The remain der will be paid by the ASUO ath letic board. The first part of the construc tion will extend the east end of the grandstand south 107 feet and add approximately 1700 seats. As the second part of the pro ject, a new roof will be put over the west end and a new press box will be built. Thirteen hundred ad ditional seats will be available under the new roof. Mr. Lindstrom stated the reason for the enlargement of the stadium is to handle the increased crowds at the OSC game, and to provide better seats for all games. The work is scheduled to be finished in about two months. Lawrence, Holford, and Allyn of Portland are the architects. About 30 men will be employed. Mrs. James K. King Made Supervisor Of Housing Office Students in need of housing information or living permits must now carry their sorrows to 101 Johnson hall. Mrs. James K.

ROTC Companies To Continue Drill Instead of Class ROTC companies will take ad vantage of the good weather and continue to drill, in place of mili tary class instruction, until the rain begins, Col. Robert M. Lyon, ROTC head, stated yesterday. Companies and squads were formed yesterday and new officers took over their duties. Gun in j struction and target practice for freshmen will start soon. Drill, however, will be the main objec tive, and marching practice will be held as much as possible. Plans for Armistice day observ ance have been completed and the ROTC unit will march as a regi ment at that time. Forming at 13th and Kincaid, the cadets will meet the American Legion and other war veterans, whereupon the group as a whole will parade to McArthur court where a commem orative program will be held. Jun ior officers will wear their new uniforms for the first time on this occasion. Did Oregon in Mail, On Campus Today First regular issue of Old Ore gon, monthly oivhlication of the University of Oregon alumni as sociation, will appear on the cam pus today. Although there has been one previous copy, the Sep tember issue, it was not distribut ed to students. A few copies appeared yester day, but as the issue was not off the press until late in the after noon it will probably be delivered today, the alumni office indicated. Students who do not stay in liv ing organizations may obtain cop ies by asking for them at the al umni office. A competent staff headed by Ed itor Bill Pease will endeavor again this year to bring the monthly news of the campus and alumni ac tivities to readers of Old Oregon. Chief change in the staff for the year is the addition of Vincent Gates, Emerald columnist, as sports editor. j Desserts Cost Less Mrs. Schwering pointed out that the dinner plan would incur addi tional costs and would also re quire more time for the exchange. She also stated that it is much easier to get a good representa tion out to a dessert than to a dinner. Meanwhile opinions of the pres idents of various houses indicate a split on the question. Much dis cussion is taking place among the students with opinions pro and con being heard on all parts of the campus. Although he is out of town, it was understood that Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the Univer sity, will confer with the social chairman on the plan. Lester Miller With Army at Presidio Lester Miller, who put out the 1937-38 edition of the student directory, is taking a year’s study with the regular army at the Pre sidio in San Francisco, according to a letter received by Professor W. F. G. Thacher. If his work has been satisfactory after the year’s training, Miller will become a permanent member of the army as a second lieutenant. Millr remarked in his letter that he had seen Sam Fort and Ralph Schomp, who are in the display business there. Action Likely On Exchange Dinner Plan Question Expected To Be Up in House Chairman's Meet Next Week Definite action on the proposed plan to reorganize the present ex change dessert system will prob ably be taken next week when the heads of women’s houses and the social chairmen of the men’s living organizations meet with Mrs. Ha zel P. Schwering, dean of women it was learned last night. Although invitations have not yet been issued by Dean Schwer. ing, it was understood that she in tends to call a meeting of the heads of houses for 4 o’clock Wed nesday to be followed by a meet ing of the social chairmen at 4 Thursday. Prexies Back Plan The proposed plan, backed b> such student leaders as Lorraine Hunt, president of Sigma Kappa and Mary Ellen Williams, Zeta Tau Alpha's president, would sub stitute exchange dinners for des serts during winter, and perhaps spring term. When questioned last night, Mrs Schwering confirmed the belie) that the question is likely to come up in these two meetings. “It if entirely up to the houses what thej wish to do. The dessert plan was originated during the depressior in order to save on the costs tha( a dinner would naturally involve,’ she said, i Many Events on Term's Official!

College football spirit threatens to take over the town today when i the rally committee and the Monday Morning Quarterbacks put on i their first joint parade and sendoff this morning at 11:30, when Web foot football hopes entrain for Palo Alto. Enthusiastic downtown sup porters of Oregon football, spurred on by Baz Williams and Claire Kneeland, have collaborated with the campus committee to get to gether an automobile-truck cara van, at least three locomotive whistles, the University band, and countless raucous throats. Safety Important Taking unusual precautions to to keep the parade free from acci dents and from running afoul of the law, the rally committee has asked for the cooperation of students in observing a few spe cial rules in traffic tomorrow. Students are asked not to ride on the sides of cars on the way to the station. Two trucks at least will be provided to take all down to the train who turn out. Council Urges Walk It was originally sought by city authorities to have students walk down to the station to avoid the usual traffic entanglements, but due to the short time available to get downtown the rally committee felt this would be impossible. The parade forms at the College Side at 11:30, and moves down Thirteenth to Pearl, north to Broadway, west to Willamette, and north to the Southern Pacific depot. Exhibit Features USSR City Plan Currently on exhibit in the “little art gallery” on the main floor in the art school is a group of drawings illustrating the Rus sian plan for building new cities and for making established cities more livable. Designed by Alan Mather and edited by Talbot Faulkner Hamlin the exhibit, entitled “Architecture and the Construction of Cities in the USSR,” is being sent through out the United States by the Am erican Russian institute. The drawings are grouped intc several divisions, each showing a specific phase. Several general maps show proposed changes in such cities as Moscow; others show plans for the water and sewer systems of the city, and still others show the proposed railway centers Stormy Weather Coach Tex Oliver . . . will take his well-rested grid machine into the south today to face a stormy session Saturday with Coach Tiny Thornhill’s Indians. Year's YM Activities Studied on Trek Five Commissions Appointed; First Event Planned Planning new freshman commis- . sions and the year’s activities at the University YMCA was the work of a group of faculty mem bers and students who trekked last weekend to Cedar Wood tavern at the McKenzie Bridge. Led by Bob Bailey, president of the Oregon YMCA, the group in cluded Dr. J. H.

The group named five commis sions during their stay, including the freshman commission which invites all freshman men to a meeting to be held at Alumni hall Wednesday evening, October 19 at (Please turn to pane four) Barbara Baldinger Trains for Olympics Finland—1940. This is the maik toward which Barbara Baldinger, the University’s outstanding woman swimmer, will be aiming next week, when she begins an intensive year of training in anticipation of Olympic tryouts. The games, formerly planned for Tokyo in 1940, are now scheduled for Helsingfors. The tryouts from which the United States’ entrants wlil be chosen is the first hurdle that Barbara must conquer if she is to see Finland as a member of the United States swimming team. Although Barbara did not enter any title meets last summer, she has, in the past, won the junior national 880-meter relay cham pionship, 500-yard Southern Paci fic Amateur Athletic union title, and the Hermosa 880-yard cham pionship. She reecived most of her early training in California where she swam for the Los Angeles athletic club for several years, training under her father, H. E. Baldinger, who is now a dairy specialist in Grants Pass. To facilitate her training pro gram, arrangements were made yesterday with the physical educa tion department here to allow Bar bara the use of the pool in Ger. linger for a certain period each day when no classes are in session. She plans sometime this fall to enter the state aquatic meet in Portland. According to swimming authori ties who have seen her in action, she would have made good Olym pic material in 1936, had not an operation shortly before tryouts were held, retarded her progress and kept her from displaying her best ability in the final contest. Oregon’s "Duck,” as she is jocularly called by her Tri Delt sorority sisters, is a sophomore at the University, where she is major ing in social science with a plan to study juvenile delinquency as her specialty. Asked whether she con sidered sorority life a handicap to her swimming activities, Barbara said, “It takes a little will power to refrain from eating at all hours, but other than that my only trouble is in finding time to study.” She lived in Hendricks hall last j year.
