tain them at a special mass meet

Oregon football coaching organi
zation, put Tex Oliver, grid mentor,
on the “witness stand" at their
1939 “kickoff” meeting at the Os

after much questioning brought
forth, among other things, the fact
that Jay Graybeal will no longer
be used as a spot player. Hence

Vaughn Corley and Eric Waldorf,

FOUR GAMES OX CARD
This year, in answer to student
demand, a total of four football
I games, three here and one in Port
land, will be included in ASUO
cards.
■ third blue ribbon in the last four
years. It won in 1936, when it was
' Pacemaker; again in 1937, and
1 then this year. The rating for 1938
was “first-class.”
Wins 915 Points
I T . .
In winning its rating, the year
book ran up the highest score ever
made by an Oregana, with 915
| points out of a possible 1000. In
1937! the score was 875 points,
while in 1936 it was 840. The score
for 1938 is not known.
Some new advances were made
by the 1939 book, it was learned.
For the first time the pictures re
ceived full rating, excellent, while
the business and financial end won
the same rating. Printing also re
ceived this high mark.
The winning of All-American,
and top six ranking are worth
more than ever before, George
Root, educational activities man
ager. said yesterday, basing his!
conclusions on the fact that the!
scores were so much higher than
before. This, Root indicated, shows'
that yearbooks in general are im
proving in quality, which means
the 1939 Oregana had to excel to
: win over such competition. No
Pacemaker, formerly the highest
rating, awards were made at all
this year, Root discovered when he
wired to learn how many books
won All-American. The book was |
I *n the top six in all enrollment
j classes.
Congratulations
Last year's editor of the Ore
gana, Don Root, on the campus
again this year, was busy yester
day receiving congratulations for
the fine piece of work he turned
out last year, as was Dick Wil
I liams, record-smashing Oregana
business manager.
Winning of the high award, the
best ever to come to this annual
publication, will not give this year’s
Oregana staff a “swelled head,”
Oregana Editor George Knight de
clared yesterday. Instead this
year’s staff will profit by the 1939
mistakes and will attempt to sur
pass this top ranking made by the
champion.
Yearbook sales begin at regis
tration, Friday and Saturday.
American foundations in 1937
(latest year for which statistics
are available) gave $9,170,318 to
educational institutions.

U. of O. ROTC Squad
Will Inaugurate New
System Next Week
In accordance with new army
regulations concerning the forma
tion of the squad, officers of the
University of Oregon ROTC will
start instructions under the new
system next week.
Purpose of the revision is to fa
cilitate the handling of the squad
and at the same time to speed up
the learning process of the basic
drill movement. Under the new
! plan, a squad is composed of from
seven to twelve men under the di
rect command of a corporal. Each
platoon is composed of three such
squads.
In the place of the famous
"squads right” or “squads left,” of
ficers will now command "By the
left flank” or vice versa. Pieces
will now be carried to port and
shoulder arms instead of being
thrown as was the former custom.
All students having cars at the
University must register them
with authorities, O. L. Rhinesmith
warned last night.
A special desk will be provided
1 at registration for this, he said.

the time their work will begin to
get every undergraduate into
ASUO ranks, which will begin at

The football games, concerts,

October 20, is the number one item
an the list, in the concert line. But
before that there are two numbers:

and and Horace Robinson’s latest

anything to happen on a Guild

All in all, the ASUO card adds

slogans is “Oregonize,” a catch

Students Get
Faculty Aid
Course Selection
To be Considered
Throughout Day
The campus will swing into the
second day of freshman week to
day with faculty advisors in every
school holding “open house" for
“old students” to discuss course
line-ups before registration tomor
row.
The new arrangement, by which
returning students line up their
term hours before the actual day
of registration, is used this fall £o
make sure that advisors can give
most of their attention to fresh
men Friday and Saturday, C. L.
Constance, assistant registrar, ex
plained last night.
While other students today will
j make preliminary arrangements
for classes, freshmen and new stu
dents will finish their placement
and physical exams in accordance
with their individual schedules.
Tomorrow and Saturday all new
students will meet their advisors
b y appointment i n McArthur
Court, where the actual registra
tion setup is to be handled. Old
students will pay their fees and
return material then, too.
“All new students should come
for registration Friday or Satur
day only when they have been in
structed to do so,” Constance de
clared, “for if students do not ad
here to their schedule, they will
be sent away until their time
comes in order to do away with
confusion.”
New students who are not fresh
men are to obtain their schedules
for the rest of the week on the
second floor of Johnson Hall from
the offices of the registrar.
McArthur Court will be ar
ranged for registration purposes
by eight o’clock Friday morning,
and will be open to students until
five o’clock. The same schedule will
be followed Saturday.
AWS Carnival
Scheduled
One of the first fall term events
to find listing on the campus social
slate is the annual AWS carnival,
which is slated for October 28 in
McArthur court. Sally Mitchell and
Barbara Stallcup will be chairmen
of the affair.
The AWS event, official Oregon
"let - down - your - hair” night for
; campus week-enders, is set for fall
1 term this year rather than the tra
1 ditional April date.
Main reason for the change, ac
cording to Anne Fredriksen, Asso
ciated Women’s prexy, is because
Oregon women will spend most of
spring term getting preparations
underway for the northwest AWS
; conference, which is on their April
slate this year.
