DRAMATIC CLUB WILL
BEGIN WORK EARLY
The first regular meeting of the Dra
matic club will he held Thursday after
noon of next week at four o’clock in
Professor Glen’s room. 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.

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.”
