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.

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

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.
