Plans for the ensuing year will be discussed, a pro gram committee appointed and araange ments made for the annual tryout for active membership. The dramatic club is one of the growing young college organizations started last year. It numbers about one hundred members. Only those on the active list consisting of twenty-five are allowed to take part in the per formances. Places on this list are eag erly sought and a tryout is held to se lect only the best. Win. Kiltz, 10, is president of the club, lie says that several first class plays will he given this year and that work will begin on them as soon as the committee is appointed Thursday. As yet it has not been decided who will train the actors, hut a director will he selected immediately. Last year the work was performed by Miriam Van Waters of the Correspondence school. On account of the late start, only two performances were given last year and they were both private exhibitions. 1 his year it is hoped to give at least one public performance. I he dub will have plenty of practice during the first half of tin' year and feels that it should be in condition to appear before an audi ence during the spring. Y. W. C. A. WILL HAVE GENERAL SECRETARY At a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet last week it was decided to em ploy a general secretary to take care of the association work. This will place the women's organization on the same footing as the men’s. Oregon is the first college in the state to employ a general secretary for the Y. W. C. A. The cabinet is considering several available candidates for the position but will not take final action until in the spring, flic new secretary will take up her duties at the opening of college next year. FRESHMEN TO PLAY EUGENE HIGH SCHOOL The University freshmen will line up against the local high school next Sat urday afternoon at three o’cldck on Kincaid Field for the second game of the season. After the showing the ju venile team made last week, their sup porters have little doubt as to the out come. The hoys are getting better form every day but will probably not have so strong a team as in the last game because some of the best men are be ing drafted for the Varsity. Never the less they are confident of winning. Little is known of the high school team, this being its first game. Several of their best men from last year have been graduated, but, while they have no individual stars, they have a fast bunch, as a team. FRITZ DEAN DESIGNS UNIVERSITY CALENDAR A University calendar similar to the one published last year by A. S. Trew and Willis LeMasters is being prepar ed under the direction of Fritz Dean. It will contain twelve pages, each dec orated with an appropriate cartoon. I he calendar, say those in charge, will be one of the classiest souvenirs ever put out at the University. Copies should be ordered in advance as only a limited number can be printed be sides those spoken for in advance. I )ean is one of the well known Uni versity artists. Last year he contribut ed many of the sketches for the Ore gana and this year is on the Annual staff. COLLEGE DIRECTORY WILL BE PUBLISHED L. II. Gregory, editor of the Midnight Doughnut last year, and Arthur Geary are getting out a directory that they hope to popularize among the students and faculty. It will contain the name, college address, and home address of every student in college. The origina tors claim that "t will be of inestim able value to everyone. College Foot wear. Burden & Graham VARSITY WILL HAVE GIRLS’ DEBATE TEAM As a result of unanimous action from the Eutaxian society, overwhelming sen timent among the students and a keen desire on the part of the co-eds to be allowed to enter more into the college activities, it was decided by the oratory and debate committee Monday after noon to send out a girls’ debating team this year; if possible to form a regular inter-state league with Wash ington and Idaho. While the student affairs committee must ratify the decision, no further difficulty is anticipated. It is known that President Campbell is favorable and there is little doubt about the opinion of the four student members. Last year the University of Wash ington was very anxious to hold such a debate with Oregon, but opposition from the Dean of Women made it impossible. This year no such barrier is in the way and, if Washington is still in favor of it, the contest will take place. An effort will also be made to enlist Idaho in the movement and form a league similar to the pres ent men’s league, but, as the latter uni versity has never suggested the mat ter, it is probable that only the Wash ington contest will take place this year. In this case, the committee hopes to arrange for the first contest in Seattle as Oregon will have her hands full this year in financing the Utah de bate. The team will oe selected at a special tryout and there will he no lack of ma terial, many prominent society debaters having already signified their intentions of entering. The question will be de cided as soon as possible so that candi dates can begin preparation. SOPHOMORE CLASS FAVORS CLASS HOUR At the Sophomore class meeting this afternoon it was decided to recommend that the student affairs committee set apart a class hour each class to take charge of one assembly during the year. Each class will have one day set apart to it. t he following, appointed as a com mittee, are also to have charge of and make arrangements for the annual class dance: Martin Hawkins, David McDaniels Jessie Bibee, Lewellyn Mc Kinley, Ruth Merrick, W. Huntington. Arrangements are also being made for a football game between the freshman and sophomore classes. THIRTY MEN OUT FOR FALL TRACK TRAINING The opening of the training season for the fall track meet, October 23. saw about thirty men in suits and on the field. Many of these were new men, the freshmen being forced out by the action of Trainer Hayward in closing his indoor gymnasium classes and ordering the men to do track work. Of the old men, Riddell, Wil liams, Downs and Sweeny are about the only ones who have appeared. "The men do not support the track as in former years," complains Captain Williams. “When 1 read of the splen did turnouts they are having at other colleges, I hate to think of the com ing season. O. A. C. has almost every man back, a team of veterans. Pull man last year had one of the strong est teams in the Northwest and almost every man is back. Washington, Idaho and Whitman have suffered little. Ore gon alone is weak, but our supporters do not seem to realize the fact.” Bowers Drug Co.
