FLOURISHING CONDITION
SHOWN AT MEETING
THURSDAY NIGHT
Committee Appointed and Ar
rangements Made for Present
ing Several Sketches.
“The Dramatic Club is going to be*
gin work at once,” said President Kilta
this noon. “The first tryout will prob*
ably be held next week. All who ex
pect to tryout should hand in their
names to the membership committee,
and begin learning their ‘pieces.’ A
number of small sketches will be giv
en this semester, the first one within
a few weeks. These will lay the foun
dation for a large play the next semes
ter. The first meeting will be early
next week when the program commit
tee will select the first sketch to put

ing committees:

and chairman of the program committee
are members of this committee. Profes
sor Glen has been appointed as one of

UTAH SIGNS CON
TRACT FOR DEBATE
Manager Steele received word a few
clays ago from Utah that the conditions
in the contract submitted to them by
the University of Oregon -were satisfac
tory with the exception of a few minor
details.
This removes all doubt as to the
date of the contest.
In a little over a month, the tryouts
will take place and the two representa
tives chosen. The debate will be held
on January 14th, and there is much
probability that Portland will be select
ed as the place.
“If the contest can be financed,” said
Manager Steele, speaking of the mat
ter, “Portland would be an ideal place
to hold it. It would do much to adver
tise the University and should be a big
thing for college debating in the fu
ture.”
No longer can both master’s and
bachelor’s degrees be seured at once
at Whitman. At a recent meeting of
the faculty of that institution the stan
dard was raised and rulings made which
sets at rest much former doubt as to
the requirements for a master’s degree.
Due to an anonymous gift, Columbia
University is to have a new $400,000
building, devoted entirely to the School
of Domestic Economy.
Dr. Fred G. Thayer, ’03, is practicing
medicine at Medford, Oregon.
THE SENIORS COMPLAIN
AND AVOID TREASURER
Dissatisfaction is apparent among
members of the senior class over their
action last Wednesday. At that time
they held a quaker like silence, accept
ed Manager Loosley's report on the
Oregana and voted a $2.50 class tax
to till the deficit in the treasury.
Now they complain that a quorum
was not present and rumor has it that
a special meeting will be petitioned for
to reconsider their action. Some main
tain that they were unable to be pres
ent on account of conflicting dates and
that the report is unsatisfactory in that
it fails to account for about two hun
dred books.
Most of the talk is rather indefinite
and as yet no leader has appeared to
lead the wanderers out of the fog. They
simply bewail the loss of so much good
money and avoid the treasurer. It is
reported, however, that one has paid
his tax.
The report of Manager Loosley,
which was accepted last Wednesday, is
as follows:

the seniors coming second and the fresh
men third.
The last three events wdere not con
ic.-tcd l'or but were compromised giv
ing the meet to the sophomores, 42 to
35
. T he meet was very interesting and
brought forth a number of surprises,
especially among the freshmen. The
•'llicf ones were Krieger who defeated
Hawkins in the hundred, and McClure
who beat Garrabrandt in the three quar
ter.

FRESHMEN GO AND
GET ACQUAINTED
There were not far from a hundred
and fifty freshmen present at the ac
quaintance party at the Chi Omega
house last night. Formal introductions
were for the most part dispensed with,
and everybody had the j oiliest of times.
Early in the evening a sack containing
a few beans was given each one with
the instructions that each time one said
“yes” or “no” he was to give a bean
to the one asking the question, the ob
ject being to get as many beans as pos
sible. This kept things moving all the
time. There were a few vocal and in
strumental pieces by talented members
of the class. Dainty dishes of straw
berry ice cream were served with wafers
late in the evening.
It was quite a little after Trainer
Hayward’s bed time hour when the jolly
crowd dispersed and each one feeling
that the first social event of the class
of 1913 had been the jolliest possible.
BILL MAIN WILL GET
OUT CLASSY PROGRAMS
Bill Main, Oregon's star halfback, has
been granted permission by the Mer
) chants Protective Association to solicit
adds for the program he is getting out
for the O. A. C. game. He also in
tends to get one out for the Idaho
game in Portland, which he says will
be the "classiest” thing in that line ever
produced in the Northwest.
Main has had much experience in the
business of getting out programs and
^hose who know him say he will “make
|ood” on these. He has samples of
the programs used at all the big Cali
fornia-Stanford games, the ideas in
which he will incorporate with some of
his own.
The programs will both contain
splendid cuts of the coaches, trainers,
captains, and managers of the two con
testing teams besides group pictures of
all the men.
FRESHMEN REPRESENT
ED ON GRAND STAND
A sensation awaited those who came
to the University this morning, for dur
ing the night the freshmen had painted
a large “1913” on the roof of the grand
stand on Kincaid Field.
The student body and President
Campbell at once took steps to have it
removed in compliance to the rule laid
down several years ago that no class
numerals should be allowed on the col
lege buildings. Accordingly the fresh
men got busy this afternoon and paint
ed over the sign. Many students ex
pressed regret that it had to go, saying
that it was about the only representa
tive the freshmen have on the field.
GAME IN TWO WEEKS
IF SOPHS WILL PLAY
The freshmen-sophomore football
game will he played within the next
two weeks, the sophomores willing,”
said President Jett of the freshman
class last night. “Our cmomittee con
sisting of Messrs. Warner, Barzee and
Kuykendall are expected to confer with
the sophomore committee early in the
week and arrange the date and other
details. The game is to be strictly
‘scrub’, no men who have played the
game in college neitig expected to take
part. All freshmen who desire a place
on the team should apply to the com
mittee in charge it once.”
SUCCESSFUL CONTEST
FOR YELLS IS CLOSED
The yell and song contest ends to
night. The decision as to who will win
the prizes will be given out tomorrow.
Yell Leader Alton says that there
have been a great variety of yells and
songs handed in, and they expect to be
amply repaid for their efforts in the af
fair.
Anthony Blais, ex-’()9, and Miss Jennie
Peterson, of Whitehall, Mich., were mar
ried in Eugene Saturday, October the
ninth.
GIRLS ONLY AT
DANCETN GYM
(it*
NASIIM TONIGHT
CO-EDS DECLARE THE MEN
ARE SUPERFLUOUS
ANYWAY
Conventional Full Dress Is Com
pulsory and Carriages in Order
—Chaperones Will be “Fixed.”
The University of Oregon co-ed will
be in her glory tonight. The occasion
is the co-ed ball in the gymnasium. It
is to be a regulation dance with the
trifling exception that mere man, usual
ly superfluous, will be entirely dispensed
with.
The girls propose to set an example
to the Varsity gallants and have been
busy for a week securing partners, as
stags" are positively not admitted. The
ladies in decollete are going to show
how bewitching the Oregon girl really
is. The "gentlemen’ will donn the “con
ventional black and white’’ and offer
the protection of their strong right
arms. Any spies or evesdroppers will
be dealt with summarily.
The time is 7:45, the place the Var
sity gym and the price the very rea
sonable sum of 25 cents, assessed merely
to buy refreshments and music. This
ositively does not include the car
riage each beau is expected to furnish.
A corps of discreet chaperons will be
on hand with instructions to overlook
flirtations.
The mandolin club will furnish the
music. The grand march will start at
7:45 sharp and the affair will conclude
at 10:00.
Patronesses are, Mrs. P. L. Camp
bell, Mrs. Dodd, Mrs. Duff, Miss John
ston, Mrs. Thrall, Mrs. Dunston, Mrs.
Stearns and Mrs. Pennell.
TWO TAKE RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP EXAMS
“Only two took the examinations for
the Rhodes Scholarships at Salem this
week,” said Professor Dunn, who rep
resented the University of Oregon on
the board of supervising examiners.
These were Ralph Spencer McKee, of
McMinnville College, and Stiph Thomp
son, of the University of Wisconsin.
The examination papers were forward
ed at once to Oxford, but it will be
six weeks or two months before the
results can be known.”
It is rumored that C. Bolton Hamble
and Cecil Lyans, both graduates of the
University of Oregon, who took the
examinations at previous times, may
apply this year as all “hold overs” have
the right to do. Mr. Hamble is living
in Eugene at present and Mr. Lyans
is teaching at Coquille.
The only University of Oregon man,
so far as is known, to take the examina
tions this year is Ellsworth Morgan,
who took them at the University of
Washington at Seattle.
German club meets Tuesday night at
the Kloshe Tillicum house, 7:30, as was
originally announced instead of at the
Gamma Phi Beta House, as was report
ed later.
