Homecoming Slogan
At- O. S. C. Chosen
Corvallis Alumni returning for
the annual Homecoming weekend at
Oregon State college November 19
and 20 will be greeted with the slo
gan "Back in Step with Beaver Pep,"
on house signs, placards and else
where about the campus. The phrase
is the winning effort of Ted Kirsch

some 200 entries in a slogan con
test. The annual football game Saturday
afternoon will be the feature of the
weekend as usual, with the Oregon
State Beavers playing Washington
State Cougars on newly turfed Bell
Field. The traditional rally and bon
fire are scheduled for Friday night,
and a Homecoming dance Saturday
night.

You can pay as high as you want
for remedies claimed to relieve the
Eain of Rheumatism, Neuritis,
ciatica, .etc. But the medicine so
many doctors generally approve
the one used by thousands of
families daily is Bayer Aspirin
15 a dozen tablets about
1 apiece.
Simply take 2 Bayer Aspirin
tablets with a half glass of water.
Repeat, if necessary, according to
directions.
Usually this will ease such pain
in a remarkably short time.
For quick relief from such pain
which exhausts you and keeps you
awake at night ask for genuine
Bayer Aspirin.
