VOL. XII. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCT. 29, 1910. No. 11 PRESIDENT SAYS SCHOOL WORK MUST COME FIRST Departmental Work Should be Made Interesting. Physical De velopment Also Impbrtant. “Social life must take a secondary place in Varsity activities. The old tra dition of a great amount of social activ ity is to be made a thing of the past.’’ This is the decided ultimatum of the President of the University. In speaking of society in its relation to college life as a whole, President Campbell said: “The first thing, and that which must stand out above every thing else, is the idea of good, careful work in the regular departments. The upperclassmen must have, and the un derclassmen must get, this conception of real, earnest study. Their first con cern must be to secure their sixteen hours of college credit each semester In return, the students have the right to expect interesting work in every de partment, and we shall try and see that our pmt is well done. Then the next thing to be considered is the physic il condh’o'i of the stumt. '. They must have sufficient sleep and exercise, if they are to ch. the wotx assigned to them. The departments of r hvsical tram iy are well equipped to take charge of 'his phase. “Then whatever can r>. in afterwards is dcs'-eble and goo.!. But it must not trespass on hours tha' should be g"\n to study, sleep and exercise. The stu dent wdl have to get ever the old tra dition ot so much soma! activity. In its place it is good, 1: tat the stu leuts must tie careful of tie proportion ot time ass'gned to *t "The c o’lege work has to be do 1 ■ The health must be preserved. And s> ciety must hold a sen a ry place. How ever, it k- my judgment hat the ten Jen - cy ha5 oeen this year in the direction of less strenuous aet "’ly socially, d more earnest study tug, and I am gu'd to find that this is so. Culture should mean a power of reasonable restraint, and I feel that the students are com ing to realize this more and more.” J. 1.5. WINS WITH EASE Fast and Plucky Portland Team Defeats Eugene 14 to 0 The light and j lucky Jefferson High School team surprised their most en thusiastic supporters today by over helming the heavier Eugene High 14 to 0. 1 he game was fast and clean, and as j cresting to watch as many University tests. Vosper, the Jefferson right d. was largely responsible for his art's victory, as it was from bis ac ne kicking that till 14 points came, kicked four field goals from place nt, scoring twelve points, and was ectly responsible for the other two unts. which were scored on a safety, it was he who caught Green, the H. S. quarter back of his own goal, i’he whole Portland team played dliantly, and won a clean, decisive tctory over heavier opponents. The Misses Caroline Dunstan and Jennie Lilly are spending the week end with the Gamma Delta Gamma girls. JAMIE GETS PARENTAL CONSENT TO FOOTBALL Leaves Post Haste For Moscow To Join Teammates Homer Jamison, Oregon’s star end, who has been out of the lineup since the Puget Sound game, left on the noon train yesterday to join the Oregon team at Moscow. Jamison’s parents were op posed to his playing football, and caused his removal from the team. Bill Hay ward, while in Portland Thursday on his way to Idaho with the team, how ever, persuaded Jamison’s parents to allow him to play. Homer has been battling against dif ficulties ever since the season opened. Injured in the alumni contest, he was laid up for several days, and after get ting well he was kept out of the game for several days more by his parents. Although handicapped by lack of prac tice, “Jamie” has more than held his own in the Varsity lineup. There is still some question as to his playing in the coming games, as consent was only given to play in the Idaho game. Attorney O. P. M. Jamison, Homer’s father, was an athlete of some promi nence while in college himself, but feared personal injury to his son. “Jamie” is one of the scrappiest players on the team, and will, no doubt, give a good account of himself in the Moscow game. PRESIDENT ENDS TRIP Has Toured Eastern and Central Oregon Counties President P. L. Campbell returned Wednesday from his Eastern Oregon trip, in which he addressed the teach er's institute at Prineville, and visited the Deschutes towns of Bend and Red mond. Tuesday, while homewajrd bound, he spoke to the students of The Dalles high school, and in the same town addressed the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, at their annual meet ing. President Campbell presented the merits and purposes of the University Correspondence work, emphasizing the courses in Sociology, Education, Oregon History and English Literature, which have been prepared to meet the needs of just such organizations. '1 he Crook County fair was held in Prineville during institute week, and people from hundreds of miles around crowded into the city. The institute was attended by practically every teach er in Crook county. One feature of the fair was an inter scholastic track meet, in which all the schools of the county participated. A strong demand for teachers with an athletic experience, to coach in that department, was shown. President Campbell reports a curious combination of frontier life with the advantages of the present in the Des-. chutes country. The President s par ty made the one hundred mile trip from Bend to Shaniko by automobile stage. I he feeling in Eastern Oregon toward the University is admirable, and there is a strong demand for graduates to act in the capacity of teachers. In Wasco county, it was reported to Pres ident Campbell, that in six or eight districts schools were closed for the rea son that satisfactory instructors are not available. I he salaries paid for teachers in the Eastern Oregon schools are higher than here. Miss Parrott, an alumna of the Uni versity, is making a good record in the English department of the Prineville high school. Burleigh Cash, of last year’s debating team, is working at Hood River. KHODA KHAN PETITION TO SIGMA CHI GRANTED MAKES SIXTH NATIONAL FRATERNITY FOR OREGON Sigma Chi Has High Rank As a National Fraternity, Having 65 Chapters in United States. Word has been received that Sigma Chi has been granted to a local fra ternity. A telegram delivered at the Khoda Khan house Wednesday brought the first news of their good fortune. Sigma Chi, one of the so-called Mi ami triad, was founded by seven stu dents of that University, June 28, 1855. Its original name of Sigma Phi was soon changed to that which it now bears. The new fraternity grew slow ly, but surely, and in live years counted eleven chapters in its membership. Fur ther progress, however, was completely blocked for four years by the Civil War. After 1865, however, Sigma Chi re commenced its growth, until at present it is represented in all the leading educational institutions of the coun try. Of late years its representation has again extended to the South. There are now 65 active chapters, while the membership list totals over nine thou sand. In the year 1906, eight students at the University of Oregon met and or ganized the Khoda Khan fraternity, which, however, was not formally an nounced until the fall of 1907. The founders were: Harper Jamison, TO, Portland; R. B. McKenzie, TO, Athena; Sam Davidson, 'll, Portland; Sam Rob inson, ex-10, Portland; W. B. Mott, 'll, Salem; S. C. Parks, ’ll, Junction City; A. C. Farrington, 'll, Eugene; C. M. Watson, ’ll, Eugene. Members of Khoda Khan who have been admitted since the founding of the fraternity are as follows: W. C. Campbell, TO, McMinnville. Glen Briedwell, TO, Amity. Alonzo Perkins, ’ll, Salem. K. E. Tillotson, ex-11, Rockville, Con necticut. J. M. Moore, '12. Klamath Falls. M. W. Hawkins, ’12, Portland. R. (1. Watson, ex-'12, Eugene. H. B. Jamison, ’12, Portland. R. P. Newland, ’12. Palo Alto, Cal. Lyle Brown. '12, Portland. George Carter, ’12, Leesburg, Va. Arthur Lewis, ex-’12, Portland. Ray B. Early, ’13, Hood River. P. R. P.riedwell, ’13, Amity. R. W. Coke, ex-’13, North Bend. W. T. Elliott, ’12, Minneapolis, Minn. Dan Mitchell, ’13. Merlin. Charles Fowler, ’14, Portland. Henry Fowler, ’14. Portland. In the autumn of 1909, the new house on the corner of Thirteenth and Alder streets was finished. By this time Kho da Khan had obtained general recogni tion as a full fledged fraternity. It is not definitely known at present *as to what plans have been made for installation, but information on this subject will soon be received. It is probable, however, that installation will be held in the near future, possibly soon after the Thanksgiving holidays. Co-Ed Hop The Women's Council, at a recent meeting, decided to give a co-ed dance in the Men’s Gymnasium some time in November. Bill Bibee is up from Portland with the Jefferson team and is visiting his sister Jessie. The Chi Omega girls are giving a Hallowe’en party this evening. OREGON DEFEATS IDAHO Score of 29 to 0 Tells the Story of Today’s Gridiron Battle For some unaccountable reason the Emerald failed to receive a wire from Moscow as arranged, and can only repeat the bare account of the game. The score is authentic and rumor has it that the 29 points were due to touchdowns by Taylor. Jamison, Latourette and Michael. Seventeen points were acquired in the first half and it was evident that Idaho was outclassed. No one was injured. W. S. C. DEFEATS O. A. C. O. A. C. had a hard tim edefeating \\ ashington State College today by the score of 9 to 3, this giving Oregon all the better of a comparative score argument with the Agrics. BABIES GURGLE AND GOO Girls’ Gymnasium Is Transformed Into Baby Incubator It was a motley array of infants and nurses that gathered in the girls’ gym nasium last night for the first big co?ed party of the year. There were all styles, kinds and colors, complete assortments in every line, including pickaninnies in wheelbarrows. Mellin s hood babies in baby carriages, dainty infants in blue ribbons and white embroideries and over-grown street gamins. The build ing re-echoed with childish wails and shrieks and peals of merry laughter. I he babes were competently judgied and appropriate prizes were_ awarded to Marie Zimmerman as best baby, and Rachael Goldsmith as prettiest baby. Ldi Sengstakc received honorable men eion for her smile and Doris Plummer for her teeth. After romping until they were all finite tired, the little ones ate lunch, during which proceeding milk and stick candy were much in evidence. After re freshments childish games were in dulged in and then their nurses took the tired but happy infants home. I he party was given by the Univer sity V. \V. C. A., and much of the suc cess of the occasion was due to the ef forts of Mrs. Brown. Y. \V. C. A. Sec retary, and Miss Pansy Shaver and her c -workers of the social committee. Nearly every girl in the University at tended, and the affair was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Brown considers these parties ideal as a medium for getting all of the girls of the University acquainted, and hopes to plan more of them during the coming year. The next affair on the Y. W. C. A. social calendar is a membership ban quet, which will be held some time dur ing November. Acacias Celebrate Anniversary The Acacias celebrated the first an niversary of their installation as a na tional fraternity last night. A pleasing program was rendered, after which the dining room doors were swung open and all enjoyed a sumptuous repast. The table was daintily decorated with white and yellow chrysanthemums. Those present besides the house mem bers were: Professors Dunn, Bovard and Frink, Dr. Leonard, Hon. Sam Friedlv, A. R. Tiffany, Darwin Bris tow, Bert Prescott and James Cun ning. NOTICE The management of the University Book Store announces that they have ! received a number of text books or , dered by students, and suggests that ev ery student who placed a special order for a book call for it as soon as pos sible. FIRST DANCE NOV. HFIH First Student Body Dance Next Saturday Night I lie first student body dance will be given on November 5th, with Mrs. Ful ler. Mrs. Bancroft, Mrs. Pennell and Mrs. Campbell as patronesses. Vari ous committees to assist Manager Bar bour have been formed under compe tent heads. Edward Mimes, who has charge of the Hour, states that it will be in capital condition. Good music is assured, as that feature is to be un der the supervision of Burns Powell. It is the desire of the management that everyone support this initial dance of the year by .attending. Only the nom inal fee of lifty cents admittance will be charged. 1 he alumni are also cor dially invited, and the whole affair bids fair, in everyone's opinion, to be of a de lightful, informal and democratic char acter. Last year the plan of giving a series ol student body dances was formed, but the initial dance which took place at that time was a disappointment, finan cially, at least. 1 his year the executive committee seriously considered discon tinuing the whole matter, feeling that peril ps the students were not suffi ciently enthusiastic, but they finally de cided to make another trial. The man agement of these dances was placed in the hands of Wendell Barbour. Me is working ha ml to make them a success, and says that in his opinion there is no doubt that they will be such. He in tends to minimize the expense, but will, nevertheless, make the affairs pleasur able in every way Pasmore Trio Desiring to give the people of Eugene ami the students of the University the best that can be had in the musical line, the University School of Music has just passed through a siege of correspon dence with Fitzpatrick and Norwood. These people handle artists of only tht highest standard. The Pasmore Trio comes under this head. These artists have been in Kuropc for several years past and are now on their first tour of America. Realizing that a large guarantee was necessary to secure these artists, but re j lying on the support of the Eugene pco i pie, the School of Music has secured the Pasmore Trio for this city. Their concert will he held at the Eugene 'The ater Wednesday, November 2nd. Prices SO cents to $1.50. Miss Lucile Dunn, daughter of F. E. Dunn, entertained the K. K. K. soror ity and a few friends at her home Fri day. Dancing was the order of the evening. Among those present was Miss Zona Haight, of Albany, who is visiting Miss Dunn for the week end.
