Hello Mix
Tomorrow
Evening
Dance Is Prexy
Erb's Own Party;
Dick Urges Spirit
Of Friendship
Oregon piggers will get their
first real workout of the fall so
cial season Saturday night, when
Webfoots officially say “welcome”
to their new freshman class at
the annual “hello dance” in McAr
thur Court
Free and informal, the dance is
President Donald M. Erb’s “own
party” for the biggest of all Ore
gon freshman classes and their
elders, according to John Dick,
ASUO prexy. Preceding the affair,
a reception for the president will
be held in the lobby of the Igloo.
All students are urged to meet
Dr. Erb at that time, Dick said.
Beginning at 8:30, the receiv
ing line, made up of leading Uni
versity faculty members, will
form to greet dancers. Kwama and
Skull and Dagger will assist with
arrangements.
Art Holman's dance band, well
known to campus piggers, will
furnish the music, Dick an
nounced. Campus clothes are in
order.
“No decorations will be used to
transform the Igloo,” the prexy
said, “except a lot of friendly
smiles to let people know that we
really mean this ‘hello’ business.”
Student Drivers:
Campus Cop Wants
To Get Your Number
All students bringing automo
biles to the campus are asked by
the administration to register their
cars with O. L. Rhinesmith dur
ing class registration hours in Mc
Arthur Court Friday and Satur
day. “It is necessary that we know
your license number," Rhinesmith
cautioned.
It is a state board requirement
that all cars driven by students of
the University be registered with
the automobile office. These regu
lations are applied to all cars
driven by the students whether
family or individually owned.
Rules governing the use of stu
dent automobiles have been placed
in all schedule books. Additional
information can be secured from
the automobile office in room 13
of Friendly Hall.

Frosh Books
For Vote Use
—
The 1,000 copies of a suggested
| frosh constitution which were
| handed out at the ASUO assembly
last night, should be held in safe
keeping until the first of next
week, according to Roy Vernstrom,
in charge of freshman organiza
tion.
The original idea was to vote on
the document last night, but a mix
up occurred which necessitated
waiting until the first of next week
for a class meeting and vote,
Vernstrom said.
“If frosh will keep their hand
books and look them over carefully
before next week,” the freshman
; organizer said, “it will be possible
to move frosh organization along
j smoothly at that meeting.”

Board
Adopts
New Plan
System Will Give
Buyers Dividend
On Purchases
At End of Year
By DON GOODALL
Members of the University of
Oregon co-operative students board
swung into action Wednesday night
by adopting a modified plan of the
Rochdale cooperative movement
system which will entitle all regu
larly enrolled students on this
campus to share in a dividend pay
ment at the close of the school
year.
As though typifying the spirit of
the new, modern and up-to-date
University of Oregon co-op, the
board voted in favor of the Roch
dale plan, believing that it will be
of benefit to the entire student
body.
Fee Abolished
The original Rochdale move
ment provides for the pay
ment of a membership fee by all
students wishing to participate in
the cooperative system. The local
co-op has decided to abolish the
payment of this fee, which will in
no way deter the operation of the ;
plan.
Amount of dividend to be paid
at the end of the year will be de
cided by the co-op board at a later
date. Amount to be paid to each ,
individual will be determined by
the total amount of purchases ,
made throughout the school by
the individual. At the time of each
sale, the purchaser will receive a
receipt showing the amount paid.
In order that the student will have

Journalism Grads
Pioneer Alaskan
Newspaper Field
Two of Oregon’s alumni who are
making a place for themselves in
journalism where there was no
place, are Homer and Jessie Heid- f
ler Graham, ’39 graduates of the .
University.
The two were married in August
at Sheridan, Oregon, and sailed for
Alaska two days later. They now
edit, write, and publish a minute j
eight page mimeographed paper in
Sitka, Alaska.
The Sitka Sentinel, as their pub-!
lication is called, is filled with news '
of all the world . . . from the inter- J
national situation in Europe to,
city briefs. Mimeographing is nec-.
essary because there is no press
in their Alaskan city.

Theme of 1940
Yearbook Will
Follow Annual
Of Last Year
The 1940 Oregana, Oregon’s of
ficial yearbook and successor to
the 1939 All-American edition, will
go on sale to the students today at
registration.
Although George Knight, editor,
has not released his ideas for the
1940 Oregana, it is known that he
will stay with the same theme
that proved to be so popular last
year. He did say that he will at
tempt to use the criticisms that
the National Collegiate Press
made to the best advantage of the
book. The N. C. P. is the asso
ciation that yearly makes the rat
ings of the various yearbooks.
The price of the book is $5 with
a reduction of $1 with every pur
chase of a $15 ASUO card. Stu
dents may use the term payment
plan to buy their copy, a dollar
each term and the remaining two
dollars will be deducted from their
general deposit fee. The dollar crel
it received with the purchase of a
$15 ASUO card may be used as
the initial payment.
Dick Williams, business mana
ger, has advised that any student
not understanding the term pay
ment plan should contact him.
Last year during the first day of
registration over 1000 students
purchased yearbooks.

Over Sixteen
Dollar Value
Backed by a campaign based on
a platform of “value to be re
ceived,” the new ASUO cards rep
resent as lusty a purchase as
could be found In any college line
up.
Strong on every side, the cards
offer I wo high-class concert-type
numbers, led off by headline Law
rence Tibbett. Then there is Hor
ace Robinson’s tried and proven
version of the Pulitzer prizewinner,
“Our Town,” said to be as mov
ing a piece as was ever devised.
Then there is at least one ASUO
dance in sight, with no telling how
many more will come with victo
ries.
Three Homo Games
And football—everyone knows
about football, with its three home
varsity games (Gonzaga, Washing

ford in Portland, and two avail
able frosh grid struggles. Add to
this the Emerald throughout the
term. And add furthermore the
all-important appointments for the
various student body plums which
come up from time to time.
Big Value
Sixteen dollars and twenty cents
worth for seven dollars, is the way
it figures out. This is counting ev
ery attraction at ■ reserved seat
prices. Even with general admis
sion prices the $9.20 saved under
the first figure would not shrink
more than a shade. These figures
are air-tight.

Sign-Up Process
For Students
Oregon’s new .streamlined regis
tration system, featuring photo
static copies of record's rather
than red books, goes into action
this morning at eight o’clock, when
McArthur Court opens to register
the University’s biggest student;
enrollment in history.
The registration setup being;
used this year is built around the j
general idea of pre-registration for
"old students.” University en-!
roliecs who were here last term j
saw their advisors yesterday and
got their approval of courses, so
that payment of fees will be all
that most of them will have to do
this morning.
Freshmen will still discuss their’
courses with advisors today, as
they did by the old method. They
will see their professor at the time
apointed for them when they paid
their matriculation fee. Attempts
to arrange courses before the des
ignated time will not be accepted.
The registration set-up calls for
a signature of approval by advisors
on the proposed course, approval
by the instructors in each school

Ticket Price
To Remain
Same as
Last Year
ASUO cards, offering participa
tion and admission in a wide vari
ety of student activities, athletic
and educational events, will go on
sale in McArthur Court today,
opening the “Oregonize” drive with
l egist ration
With as strong a lineup of at
tractions as lias ever been seen in
an ASUO card, and with a well
organized, clever drive staff poised
and ready to start selling, the 1939
fall edition ASUO membership
tickets look like the well-known
(by now) “nuggets” in a typical
nugget year
ASUO card prices will remain
Hie same as for the last three
years, which is .$15 for the year,
or $7 t lie first term, $5 for winter
term, and $3 for spring term. Also
to I s' repeated is last year’s ar
rangement whereby purchasers of
the $!5 cards will get a $1 reduc
tion on the price of their Oregana.
When registration-bound under
graduates start flowing into the
spacious Igloo floor one of the first
things they will see is a display
of some very fine furniture, which
is being offered as a special bo
nus to the first living organization
to go 100 per cent ASUO. Included
in the group are a $75 davenport
and a $35 chair for first and sec
ond 100 per cent houses respec
tively.
Pint-sized Glenn Eaton, drive
chairman for this campaign, al
ready has things going like a ter
mite picnic, with the entire staff
straining at the proverbial leash
to get moving. Their “Oregonizing”
bids fair to capture the public
fancy.
As usual, the drive captains
have arranged for representatives
in all living organizations. These,
too, are to reap benefits from their
participation in the drive, with
daily awards of various kinds,
from cash to free cokes.
Banner s, posters, streamers,
cards, window stencils, and signs
will cover the campus like wallpa
per, featuring the catchy slogans
Chief Eaton and Pat Taylor have
cooked up between them. Largest
of these will be in McArthur Court,
which is under the watchful dec
orative eye of Bob Swan, succes
sor to Dale Mallicoat.
Eaton has announced a meet
ing of all drive partipators, to be
held at 5 today at the Igloo.
