FRIENDLY COLLEGE CLOTHIER, HATTER AND FURNISHER BEST GLEE CLUB IN YEARS FOR UNIVERSITY “The best glee club we ever had, and material enough for another,” is the way Professor Glen expresses liis opin ion of prospects this year, after the preliminary tryout that, beginning yes terday, lasted until late this afternoon before the large number of candidates could be disposed of. Thirty-four new men offered them selves, making the larges* class of ap plicants that have ever presented them selves at the preliminaries, in the whole history ot the organization. I en vacancies from last year are to be tilled, live in the tenor sections and live in the bass sections, the ranks of the old club having been very material ly depleted by the graduation of a num ber of its members from the Univer sity. I hose who remain from last year are Burke, Curtis, Davies, Davidson, Powell and Ceisler. The personnel of the new club will be definitely known the first of next week, when the re sults of the preliminaries will be made public. Professor (lien is greatly pleased with the excellent talent offered in the new class of applicants, declaring it to bo, without qualification, the best that has ever been offered to select from. He regrets the fact that it will be impossible for the Club to make use of all of tin excellent new material that is offered and earnestly suggests that those who are unable to secure places in the club itself, organize them selves into a secondary squad and make arrangements for regular meet ings and drill work in singing, since he feels that they could gain a great deal of valuable and pleasant training in that manner. Manager Hoary has made negotia tions for a trip to Southern Oregon HUSTON RESIGNS AS TRACK CAPTAIN Oliver B. Huston today handed in his resignation as captain of the track team for the ensuing year. It was thought last year that Huston would he able to compete because one of his four years' participation in athletics was at Pacific University. But a prece dent has been set by Whitman College, which the University of Oregon has seen lit to respect. Demick, pagle and I hillbrook, of Pacific University, went to Whitman and were debarred from athletics on account of having taken part at Pacific University. The Athletic Council at the University recently de cided that Huston would not be able to compete in track, but he will not be debarred from football or baseball. Pill Hayward said this afternoon, "the loss of Huston cripples the track team very seriously for he could always be depended on for a large share of the points. Huston has been the main stay of the track team for three years, but henceforth lie must appear in a new role. His resignation is all the more serious because he has no successor. Without a sprinter, Oregon’s chances for a winning team are seriously lacking." 1 he student affairs committee held their first meeting this morning. A few preliminary topics were discussed. Among other things they made the rec ommendation that the freshmen see to the restricting of the green caps to members of their class. Hereafter the regular meetings of the committee will occur on the first andt bird Wednesdays of each month. At their next meeting they will take up a matter of consid erable importance to the school. between semesters. Karlier in the sea son there will probably be a trip to Portland and Salem. NEW GYMNASIUM TO OPEN JANUARY 1st. Twelve men, a foreman and superin endent are rushing to completion the new $25,000 varsity gym. The building was commenced in plenty of time to be occupied at the beginning of this year but a delay ensued over a shortage of material and it 11s probable the building will not be turned over to the students before January. The building is modern and up-to date in every respect and no expense v ill be spared in installing the equip ment It will be occupied by the men of the varsity and the old gym. after -e modeling will be turned over to the co-eds and their special instructor, Dr. Stuart. Roughly described the building is 80 •>'120 f three stories high, with a basement containing lockers, ba'bs. dressing 100ms and a concrete swi li ming tank, 40x60. This swimming pool will be one of the finest features of the building. The maximum depth will be eight feet, sloping off to four feet at the upper end. It is locatel in the north end of the basement and will be sur rounded by 48 individual showers. Back of these will be several dressing rooms for the various visiting teams, fitted up with rubbing tables and lockers. Alto gether there are 400 steel combination lockers. The main floor, 59x110, will be laid in maple and finished o make an excel lent dancing floor. Around the edge will run an oval gallery capable of seat ing 4lXV Immediately above this a 17 lap running track will be suspended from the rafters.

The gym will till a long felt want at the University as the present structure GIRLS WILL DANCE IN MEN’S ATTIRE Dressed in “their brothers’ clothes,” half the girls in the University of Ore gon will escort the other half in party dresses to an informal dance in the gymnasium next Saturday night at 8 o'clock. This unique party is being arranged by a number of the girls and the Dean of Women as a means of getting the co-eds acquainted. "Have you a suit yet?” said a fresh man to a sophomore the other day. "I know where you can get one.” The rest of the conversation was lost, but many boys are speculating as to whose suit it will be. 1 hose who do not succeed in getting boys clothes are going dressed entirely in black—dark skirts, tailored waists, stiff collars, and black ties. ENGINEER MAY NOT BE PUBLISHED I lie fate of the Oregon Engineer is to lie decided at the meeting of the Engin eering Club in McClure Hall at 7:30 tonight. J he failure of Editor A. H. Page to return to college has left the club in doubt as to the advisability of continuing the publication. Many mem bers feel that the University is not large enough to suport three papers and are m favor of incorporating it as a special department of the Oregon Monthly. Professor McAlister will de liver a short address at the meeting this evening and, if it is decided to continue the Engineer, a new editor will be elected. has for years been inadequate for the needs. 1 he abundance of light and modern conveniences in the new build ing will afford a welcome contrast to the darkness and dinginess of the present gym. PRESIDENT CAMPBELL •DOES NOT USE oPIES Sudent spies are not employed at the University of Oregon, either by Presi dent Campbell or the student affairs committee. Moreover it was not a stu dent—neither a spy nor a voluntary in former—who gave information concern ing the recent hazing. This was the substance of a state ment made by President Campbell to a representative of the Emerald when in formed of the report in one of the daily papers that a student spy had turned traitor on his comrades, and given the names of the sophomore hazers. “The information did not come through students,” he declared em phatically, “but from citizens of Eu gene who are opposed to hazing. I never use spies,” he went on to say. "The effect of distrust on the character of the students would more than offset all good effects that might come from such methods. Eurthermore, I have always founl that the students them selves can be trusted. They invariably tell the truth when questioned.” The joint J. M. C. * A. and Y. W. C. A. reception was given at the dorm itory Saturday evening. A large num ber of students enjoyed the hospitality of the local Christian associations. The Dormitory reception halls were made cozy and comfortable with bright pennants and pillows. Delicious re freshments consisting of ices and wafers were served by the social committees of the two associations. The receiv ing line was as follows' Mrs. Prescott., President Campbell, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Zeibcr. Paul Correll, '12, is confined at his home in Baker City with a severe attack of typhoid fever.
