Students’ Petition to Have the
New Gym. Called Hayward
Hall Voted Down by Regents
That the University shall have two
new buildings as soon as the necessary
appropriation can be secured from the
legislature was decided by the Board
of Regents at their annual business
meeting Saturday.
Professor John Straub, Dean of the
College of Liberal Arts, who has held
the chair of Latin and Greek for 31
years, and F. G. Young, for 14 years
head of the department of Economics,
were voted salaries of $2500 as a mark
of recognition for their services. The
former salary of $2000 was the maxi
mum attainable at Oregon, but since
the maximum here is lower than most
of the Western Universities the addi
tional $500 was granted. Professor B.
J. Hawthorne, who has occupied the
chair of psychology for 24 years, will
be retired in June on the Carnegie pen
sion list with an annual pension of
$1600. His successor will be Samuel
Elliott, assistant in that department last
year, now a student at Harvard.
Other increases in salary were: Train
er "BilJ” Hayward, $1600 to $2000; Dr.
Cloran, $1600 to $1800; Dr. F. L.

Leonard and Dr. J. H. Gilbert, $1200
to $1400, and Gustav Buchen $1000 to
$1300. Miss Sage was made an assist
ant in the department of Romance
Languages on a salary of $135.

head of a newly organized school of
Education which is to teach pedagogy
and training, and to handle the Sum
mer School and Correspondence School.
Departments of Zoology, Botany ana
Geology were provided and $2500 was
voted to the School of Medicine in
Portland.
The petition of the students that the
new gymnasium be called Hayward
Hall was acted upon unfavorably, it be
ing the precedent that no college build
ing shall be named after living per
sons.
Eive thousand dollars will be spent
in rebutting and remodeling the old
gymnasium which is to be used by the
University women.
The annual report of President
Campbell was adopted. In this report
President Campbell said that two
buildings, one for administration and
one for recitation were absolutely nec
essary in view of the fact that all avail
able space is now crowded to its full
est extent and the annual increase m
enrollment promises a thousand stu
dents in the collegiate department with
in the next three or four years. The
experience of other western universities
has been an example to follow along
this line.
The President also recommended the
ground now belonging to the University
be laid off and the location and style

NO TROUBLE TO WIN
GROSS COUNTRY RAG
OREGON HAS FIVE MEN
BETTER THAN O.
A. C.’s BEST
Last Year’s Victory Repeated by
41-15 Score—Interclass Meet Is
Postponed Till Sun Shines.
Oregon won an overwhelming vic
tory in the cross country run yesterday
when all live of the Varsity men
romped home ahead of the Agric team.
The Varsity scored 40 to O. A. C.’s 15
points.
The slushy snow made the course
heavy and soggy, the track being es
pecially bad. Considering this and the
aerliness of the season the time made
by Freshman Henry of 19.53 is excellent.
The course was a good four miles, be
ing two laps around the track, then over
the regular three mile course, and a
finish of two laps around the track.
Oregon men led throughout the run
and due to their excellent training still
had a sprint left for the finish. An en
couraging feature of th" race was the
excellent showing made by the new men
Henry, McClure and McGuire, who took
respectively first, third .mf* fourth
places. As the runners came onto the
track three Agrics were in the bunch
but the pace set for the finish was too
hot and all five Oregon men pulled
ahead, fighting, hard with each other for
the places.
The runners placed as follows:
Name and team. Score
Henry, 0. 10
Garrabrandt, 0.9
McClure, 0.8
McGuirt, 0.7
Riddell, 0.6
Williams, O. A. C. 5
Brown, O. A. C.4
Burdick, O. A. C. 3
Watson, O. A. C. 2
Severanz, O. A. C. 1
The judges were: Start, Hayward;
Time, Watson; Finish, DeVolt and
Keady.
Severanz, the last O. A. C. man
showed up five minutes late and fears
were expressed that he had been lost in
tbe brush. He finally appeared, how
ever and ran around the track by him
self, encouraged by the Oregon rooters.
The inclement weather put a quietus
on the plans for the interclass track
meet and nothing occurred in that line.
“Postponed,” Bill says, “till the sun
shines.”
Cornell’s new athletic field contains
fifty seven acres. It will have a large
stadium, gymnasium, football and base
ball fileds. It is estimated that $350,

Hitherto it was impossible for the wo

COACH KELLY MAKING
GOOD IN THE SOUTH
“Father 'l oin’’ Kelly, Oregon’s base
ball ceach, continues his success with
the team from Santa Clara college,
which he has charge of until the season
opens at Oregon next spring.
Kelly’s latest triumph is over the Uni
versity of California, which his men
defeated in a hard game, A few days
before, they won from Stanford. These
two universities put out high class base

best of them.

FOR TWO DOLLARS
Manager Harper Jamison is begin
ning a strenuous campaign to sell the
season tickets for this year’s baseball
games.
He is canvassing the Eugene business
men and in a few days will start in
on the students in the attempt to sell
the 500 that are essential to the sea
son’s success. The price of the ticket
is $2.00, and the management feels that
all the students,—at least all the men—
should buy one.
The management is doing all possible
to insure a successful season and feels
that it should have the united support
of the whole student-body for baseball
prospects were never brighter than this
year.
Tom Kelly writes from Santa CKra
that he will be up soon to take charge
and says that with proper support he
can bring the pennant to Oregon.
The battery men are working out
daily in the “gym” to get in condition
for the season’s early opening. Tom
Word and Ferd llenkle have returned
for the spring semester and several new
men of baseball experience have en
tered.
A Good Exam.
At the mid-year examinations in horti
culture in the University of Missouri,
the first thing the professor did was to
pass around a box of good cigars. Af
ter everyone had “lit up” he wrote the
questions on the board.
