VOL. XII EUGENE. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 1, 1911. No. 35 SAYS OREGON SHOULD NOT STINT SUPPORT FOR COLLEGES PORTLAND RABBI DELIVERSABLEADDRESS Defines Academic Freedom and Says Culture and Educa tion Necessary fc - . “Academic Freedom” was the sub ject of the address of Rabbi Jonah F. Wise, of Portland, delivered at assem bly this morning. After making it clear that academic freedom means freedom to search for truth without interference, Rabbi Wise pointed out that the present tendency to demand that universities give their students only utilitarian and technical education which can be sold for a fixed salary in the market, is really a back ward movement. He called particular attention to the state of Oregon, which, as a comparatively new sta*e, he said, is committing a grave error in failing to more liberally endow its uni versity, from which should go out an nually men and women fitted not only nto sell their university trained ser vices, but to spread culture and moral uplift. Academic freedom, he said, means that university graduates will not go ■out from college as negative quantities, but as positive forces, equipped with power for spreading good in the com munity, for which the community can well afford to pay. It is education in which all men are free. At the close of the address, which seems to be considered as one of the best delivered this year, the assembly was turned over to the Freshman class. Harold Young delivered a short ad dress and D. L Lamm sang a well ren dered solo. JUNIORS WILL ALSO ASSEMBLE NEXT MONDAY President McDaniels gives notice of a special meeting of the Junior class on Monday, March 6, at 4:00 P. M., in Dr Schmidt’s room in Deady Hall. Re ports of committees and other impor tant business will be considered BETAS FINALLY WIN OUT The inter-fraternity league basketball series closed yesterday afternoon when the Reta Theta Pi’s won the final game from the Sigma Nus by the score of 26 to 8 and finally annexed the Hayward cup. The game was not .as fast as some played earlier in the season, as the Sigma Nus were out of condition and at times played a listless game. "Chuck” Taylor played center in Ben son’s place, and Kay filled a guard po sition. Bean did not play his usual game, while Stine was there every min ute of the game. The ex-Varsity can tain rolled in baskets from almost any position, totalling 18 points for his team. Rice played his usual steady game, and Brooks managed to register a few points while the matinee was on. The one-sided score does not indicate the relative strength of the teams, but the proportion of pip shown. "Sap” Latourette made the presenta tion speech amid the applause of the multitude, and handed Bill’s silver mug to Captain Stine after the shouting was over. , ***********' * NO RETURN CONCERT BY * GLEE CLUB THIS YEAR *j * Because of the illness ot Professor * Glen and the inability of the Man * * dolin Club to get together, there * * not be a return concert of the Glee * * Club this year. * * Manager Stine has not yet bal- * * anced his accounts, and does not * * know the financial outcome of the * * season. * *********** Canoe Carnival Committee Busy Accumulating Ideas tor Festival The committee appointed from the Junior class to arrange for a canoe car nival are busy formulating plans, and at an early date will be prepared to make definite recommendations to the class of 1912. The committee appoint ed by President David McDaniels in cludes Ralph Moores, Emma Waterman and Harold Bean. Correspondence is being carried on with other colleges to obtain sugges tions as to how these regattas are man aged at other places and what are the main features of the sports and pa rades. Although the Junior clss has taken the initiative in the movement and has voted to further the project, there is no intention of making it a one class affair. On the contrary, it is hoped to interest the whole college in the pro ject and make it thoroughly character istic and representative of the Univer s:ty of Oregon. FOUR ARE STILL IN RACE Cup Might Go to Either Gamma Delts, Tri Delts, or Chi Omegas Monday afternoon Gamma Delta Gam ma won from Chi Omega by a score of 10-6.

WINS 1W0 MORE GAMES FROM PULLMAN VARSITY REGISTERS 75 SCORES TO VISITORS’ BARE 21 W. S. C. BASKETBALL TEAM OUTCLASSED First Game Comes by 45 to 14 Score and Second by a 30 to 7 Score The Varsity took the first game from the Washington State College team on Monday night by the one-sided score of 45 to 14. Even though the Varsity was not called upon to put up the best it had, W. S. C. never came near tying up the score Oregon led oflf with a dash after the whistle, Fenton and Jamison throwing almost at will. The first half ended 31-9, with Pull man still up in the air. The second half was a repetition of the first, Ore gon keeping her safe lead and working team plays. Moore went in during this half and played a good game, but the lemon yellow quintet was far enough ahead to loaf safely, and the score of the second half was not so large as that of the first section. The final score stood 45-14. The game was fast, but free from fouls, Kestley made his debut as a referee, ,and evidently gave satisfac tion. The Pulman team has an excellent excuse for losing by the large score, as their All-Northwest guard, Dalquist, was unable to make the trip on account of low grades. Buck, their center, was out on account of injuries. Lowery was in poor form and did not play his usual game because of sickness. He was taken from his usual forward posi tion to play center, which disorganized their team plays. The second game was a continuation of the massacre, though Fullman played a better game than in the first contest. Jamison was not in ihe game, and his place at forward was filled by “Butch” Moore, who put up tne game of his ca reer. Oregon kept a good lead and safely smothered the incipient rallies of th* Northerners. Sinur- was (strong at guarding and in dribbi ng down th“ field. Watson went e ;:f*ing the last half and Brooks was also giVen a chance to show what he could do in l Varsity game. Both p -ru rmed cred itably. The fin al score was 30 to 7. With the excepoops a'ready noted, the lineups were: w. S.

Campbell Crockett and Janet Young were chosen as class delegates to the Inter-Collegiate Ora torical Conference to be held here next week. Mr. Crockett was elected by a close majority over Vernon Motscen bacher; M iss Young’s election as co-ed representative was unanimous. Treasurer Haugen rendered a final report on the financial condition of the class after the recent dance. The report shows a deficit in the treasury of about s'ixty dollars, a debt considerably small er than that contracted by the Freshman classes of recent years. It was unanimously decided to have the ’14 basketball team represented by a writeup in the Oregana. As this en tails an expense of five dollars, the treasurer was directed to take up a subscription among the men of the class to defray the cost. Tentative plans were discussed for having a photograph of the class taken for the Oregana. A date for the taking of the class pic ture, probably some time next week, will be announced as soon as arrange ments can be completed. CLUB SEEKS SOME PLAY OF UNIVERSITY LIFE The Dramatic Club has not definitely decided upon the play which will be given Thursday evening pf Junior Week End; but they fully intend to present one which, like the College Widow, so successfully given two years ago, will portray some phase of college life COUNTY FI GREATEST SUCCESS OF THE YEAR LARGE CROWD LAUGHS AT FUNNY SHOWS AND PEOPLE Y. W. C. A. MAKES MONEY FOR HOME Every Club and Fraternity is Represented in Money Mak ing Stunt of Some Kind Hurry! Hurry! Right this way!' The only show! Say, why don’t you tight-wads loosen up? This and more was heard and seen at the County Fair, held in the Men’s Gymnasium last Sat urday evening, and pronounced one of the greatest successes of the college year as an entertainer and money mak er. Nearly every club and fraternity was represented in some way. Booths, side shows, candy venders and shooting gal leries were there galore, and "speilers ’ shouted forth their oratory until the room fairly roared. “Jamie” Jamison was there in a big sombrero hat and vied with “Hippo” Gillis, who wore a long flowing mustache, in attracting crowds to his wonderful show. Abd Blackman, as a monkey, and Bill Fiser as an Italian organ grinder gathered m many nickels and dimes; the incubator babes from the Kappa Sigma house played and squaled in their cradles, and Burns Powell as police judge found some excuse for fining everybody brought into court by six industrious “cops.” One of the mos|t attriactive stunts was Freshman Cowden’s debut as a luscious sheath-gowned damoiselle. I lie feature act of the evening was the minstrel show put on by some twenty of the Varsity’s “funny men,” who sang songs, danced, and cracked jokes on the college character, though at times “verging,” this feature of the even ing was much enjoyed. An unusually large crowd was in at tendance and spent its money freely about the grounds. The Y. W. C. A. !s able to report a neat profit from the venture as a result. There is some talk of making the County Fair an annual event—giving it always in the interest of some worthy cause. PLAN DOUGHNUT LEAGUE Definite steps were t;iken toward reor ganizing the Doughnut League for 1911 at a meeting held last night in Manager Luckey’s room. Representatives from ten clubs and fraternities were present and judging from the sentiment expressed the com ing contest will he mast successful. "Jack” Luckey, upon whose call the del egates met. presided, and upon motion appointed Leslie Dobie, Herbert Barbour and Evans Huston a committee to draft rules and evolve a tentative schedule. The delegates will meet again Sunday, when the committee will report, to con sider the recommendations. It was de cided that the coming scedttle would be run on a elimination rather than a per centage basis. The delegates recog nized that a percentage schedule would be fairer, but would necessitate at least 55 games, which would unduly prolong the season and result in a loss of inter est.
