A Happy Ending
The dispute between Manager Geary
of the Glee Club and the Eugene Theatre
is settled at last. Whatever opinions
have been held as to the merits of either
side, it must be admitted by all that
this is a happy ending of a very disa
greeable affair.
Naturally, we consider it a victory for
Mr. Geary, for the Glee Club, and in
general for all the students in the Uni
versity. It has proved that there is
some power in concerted action. It has
shown that the students can make their
influence effective. True, the reduction
is not as much as was first demanded.
It is not as much as we believe it should
be, hut it is a step in the right direction,
and opens the way for further improve
ments along the same line.
Mr. Geary, by his linn stand for the
light as he saw it, has done much for
the students whose interests he repre
sents. There are those who criticised
his wisdom in undertaking what he did,
hut none could deny the righteousness
of his cause. And now, even his wis
dom has been spelendidly vindicated.
Manager Smith has done much to
ward re opening amicable relations be
tween the students and him. I tv show
ing himsell amenable to reason in con
sidering their demands, he has won
many friends, and sentiments of ap
proval on his action are being freely
expressed. Me sincerely hope that it
may lead to a lasting friendship such as
should exist between the University of
Oregon and the people among whom it
is happy to he maintained.
We regret the unpleasant circum
stances of this dispute and wish to see
it forgotten as soon as possible. Any
personalities it may have caused, we
are ready to reconsider in the light of
subsequent events, and, unless the sub
ject o forced upon us. we will not en
gage in its discussion further.
Accomodating Visitors
Next Friday Eugene will be filled to
overflowing with visitors to the O. A.
(. game -probably the largest crowd
that has ever sought food and shelter
in the city I low are they going to he
accomodated ?
I hat "time special method must he
devised i" evident to all who have seen
the same conditions in former years
The regular hotels and restaurants will
he swamped I In crowd couldn't he
taken care of if they stood in line all
clay. Besides, should the people of Eu
gene depend on private restaurants to
treat their visitors fairly when such ex
cellent opportunities for extortion are
[(resented ?
The best, in fact, the only way to solve
this problem is for the various charita
ble or other organizations to set up
temporary lunch tables in some public
hall or church. By this method, not
only would the visitors be well taken
care of, but the organizations themselves
could do much toward furthering their
charitable work.
If the students and people of Eugene
expect to keep the O. .A. C. game on
the campus, it is up to them to take
some steps of this kind to decently pro
vide for their guests.
The moral boycott to begin Monday
is right in line with the Emerald’s sug
gestion a few weeks ago for guiding
the freshmen. We think, however, that
the actual boycott will be unnecessary—
the threat of it will suffice. Moreover,
the cap rule is not the only place where
the upper classmen should use their in
lluence on the freshmen. There are
many things done by the freshmen that
could be corrected by a sharp but well
meant word of criticism. All that is
necessary is for everyone to do his duty.
Wedneslay’s class hour was evidently
a success. Let each class give one dur
ing the year and much will be done to
ward renewing the lost class spirit.
Freshmen, can you beat the sophomores?
1911 beats 1912 at football and 1912
beats 1913. That proves it—the Uni
versity of Oregon is certainly retrograd
ing.
Correspondence
Portland, Ore., Nov. 9, 1909. (To the
Editor.)—A lapse of years has not les
sened my loyalty nor allowed my inter
est to abate in affairs concerning the
University, and it is with a feeling of
pride and admiration that 1 watch her,
"every onward step." Among her ad
vancements is the "Oregon Emerald," in
which I hope may see lit to express my
views, views that I assure you are
warmly seconded by many of the alum
ni, and which 1 know will call for much
more than passing interest among the
young men and women now in Oregon.
But to In' “Carsonian" and get down
to my subject : 1 understand that the
growth of the University demands the
use of Kincaid Field for a building, and
that the students will have to seek other
grounds on w hich to add laurels to their
glorious record in athletics. But what
one thing would inspire her men more,
what one thing would make her athletes
light harder, what one thing would make
their victories more sacred, and their
defeat more impossible, than to name
the dust beneath their feet “Friendly
Field."
For more than thirty years Hon. S.
II. Friendly has dedicated his heart and
pocketbook to a loyal and unselfish in
terest and love for the University. The
people of the state know of his work
and accomplishments for the college end
of the institution, which they know he
has done without any hope or desire
for pecuniary gain or political advance
ment. The students of today seem
wreathed in smiles and swelled with
pride at their rallies and games, hut only
the old grads know of his work for their
teams, and of his lifting hand to the men
in tin days of defeat. If the students
could have known him then, seen him
with tears in his eyes after a day of
disaster, yet with a strong heart and a
w ord of encouragement, coupled with an
invitation to a banquet and to bring

understand why it would make some of
our hearts so happy to hear of the new

Faculty Coloquiam
The second regular meeting of the
Faculty Colloquium is scheduled for
next Tuesday evening. Professor Bar
ker of the department of Mining En
gineering will speak on "The Geology
of the Wilamette Valley.”
The members of the program com
mittee expect this subject to prove a
popular one, the Wilamette Valley being
one of the most fertile fields in the West
for geological research. After the lec
ture there will be a general discussion
by members of the faculty.

Rooters Making More Noise
The rally held at Assembly last Wed
nesday after the sophomore program,
resulted in the turning out of a hun
dred or more rooters on Wednesday
afternoon. Judging from the noise they
made and the smile on Alton’s face, the
prospects in the rooter section are
brightening.
There will be rooter practice two days
each week until the end of the season—
Wednesday and Friday are the days
designated.
