Armistice Day Holiday Expected to
Swell Attendance Here at An-
nual Return Day
Homecoming Day for the first time,
in the history of the university comes
on a national holiday. Ever since the
armistice was signed three years ago,
November 11 has been a legal holiday.
This is one of the factors that will
contribute to the largest crowd that ev-
er returned to Soonerland on this day
which has been set aside for the re-
union of all alumni and former stud-
ents of the university.
Students also will be In a good mood
to celebrate on Homecoming day with
quiz week over, and the load of the
month's work removed from their
shoulders and transferred to the deans
offices for the perusal of the misfort
unates ones later.
Faculty members will have a change
from their daily routine of work and
they too, will lend their hands in mak-
ing this the biggest homecoming the
university has yet experienced.
In fact from all indications this will
the biggest gala day in the history
of the university. On the morning of
Homecoming day the gigantic all-uni-
versity parade comprised of floats from
all organizations and departments of
the university together with, the niara-
oth K. O. T. C. parade with the assist-
ance of the university band will hold
sway In the afternoon the gridiron
will lie the scene of the feature event,
and it Las been rumored that the Ow-

CIVIL ENGINEERING
SCHOOLS IMPORTANT
Prof. Brookes Returns from National
Conference of Highway Educa-
tion Board
Start Sooner Sales
Friday Says Savage
No Beauty Contest or Other Methods
of Forced Circulation to Be Used
in Selling Yearbook
Courses offered in the school of civ-
il engineering have high merit, Prof
J F. Brookes, director of the school of
:viI engineering, said upon his return
•rom tiie national conference of the
Highway Education lx ard, held
Washington, D. C., October 26.
The purpose of this Ixiard is to lis-
nijs technical curricula of engineering
-chools with respect to highway coursjs
for highway construction and highway
transportation. It is presided over
the U. S. Commissioner of Education
and is composed of members of the
Engineering lx>ard, automobile manu-
facturing ciss<yiatji>n and represent i-
ivcs of the rubber industries.
The main issue was a study of the
problem of road construction to meet
the severe and increasing demands of
highway transportation, which is rapid-
'y developing in this country.
Enroute to Washington, Professor
Brookes spent one day in the labora-
tories of the Lewis Institute, at Clii-
ago, where tests are being carried on
y the National Portland Cement as-
sociation.
The Sooner sales campaign will be-
gin next Friday and continue for about
ten (lays, announced Koyce Savage, cir-
ulation manager, Monday afternoon.
The object of a campaign so early in
the year is twofold—to sell as many of
the txxik-. to alumni as possible and to
ecure certain savings in the cost of
the bpok by having the cash on hands,
Savage said.
A straight sales cain[>aign will be the
nly method employed in selling the
book this year, he said. There will l>e
no beauty contest or other methods of
forced circulation in the campaign this
year, and the Sooner this year will be
one that every loyal Sooner should have
as a remembrance of his school year.
It will depend on the value of the book
and the loyalty of the stldents for its
sales, he continued.
'Hie liook will contain twice as many
pictures of athletic events as that of
last year more pictures of campus ac-
tivities, more kodak snapshots than any
of the former books because of the in-
creased amount to spend for engrav-
ings. For example, the beauty section
is increased from four to ten pages and
the l>eauties are to be picked by a New
York artist so the beauty section will
t>e the best and largest yet put out by
the University of Oklahoma. The
freshman class section has been enlarg-
ed 32 pages and the other classes in
porportion.
The annual grid tilt between the
Sooners and the Oklahoma Aggies w.ll
not be played on Saturday, November
25, as was originally scheduled, 1 ut has
been changed to Friday, November 24,
a day earlier than was first planned,
assistant coach Hugh V. McDermott,
announced Wednesday.
While no reasons accompa lied the
request for changing the date were re-
ceived by Sooner officials from E. C
Gallagher, director of athletics at ihe
Stillwater institution, a p<-ep into 'lie
files of the Orange and Black, stu lent
weekly newspaper at Oklahoma State
college, shows that the shift in the date
was brought about by Stillwater mer-
chants.
The store owners at Stillwater claim
ed to Aggie officials that it was in-
possible for thein to close their place.-
of businesses on the day of the gano,
because Satnrday's trade is heaver than
on any other day and the out-of-town
clientele chose to transact most of their
business on the List day in the week.
Naturally, being pro-Aggie, and wishing
Alumni, former students, eds and c<>
U, all will gather at 7 o'clock Friday
night, November 11, in the University
auditorium, for the Homecoming pep
m* eting, according to Jake Hail-', vars-
ity pep leader.
The pep meeting Friday night will
not only be the largest but the most
elaliorate, ever held in Soonerland. The
old timers of Soonerland will be back
that night, and in order to show them
that Sooner spirit has hot died away,
and n anything has improved, the co-
operation nf every student is absolute-
ly necessary, Haas stated.
The program for the evening has been
arranged and without a doubt, it is the
most extensive one that will he had
this year, Haas said. Speakers for the
evening are Director of Athletics Ben
(. Owen, Coach Bon R. Tolbert, the
ivev. Theodore Aszman, and Dick
Cloyd, alumni secretary and Stadium
manager. With this lineup of speak-
ers one can readily see the result, an
interesting program, Haas explained.
SooncrlatfCs pep organizations will
be out in uniform and each in turn
will add to the silo ss of the meeting
Both organizations are making plans to
pull something new and different at
this meeting, according to Neal Sulli
van, president of the Jazz Hounds and
Merle Chapman, leader of the Rut* Ni ks.
Leslie "Knee" High, a former uni-
versity pep manager, who won the dis*
tinctiop of being one of thi; best cheer
leaders in the southwest, will I*' there.
Bill Taylor, last year's pep -manager,
will also aid, in making the meeting the
most successful ever held in Sooner-
land, H«as concluded.

DELTA PI
Gtis Fields, '26, Okemah
to view the game, the merchants pre-
vailed upon Gallagher to ask for a
change in date, which was accordingly
granted by Director of Athletics Ben
G ()wen.
While such a change was perfectly
agreeable to the Sooners, it did not
please at least one me ml* r of the Ag-
gie alumni group, who protested the
change in a letter to the school paper
in which he hints at 3 Sooner victory
following the Aggie-S. M U. game on
Saturday, October 28, when the Okia-
homans took a 32-6 drubbing from the
Methodists.
