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. ,

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.

Delts, Tri Delts, or Chi

work netted three baskets and two fouls.

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:

FROSH HOLD MEETING
Treasurer Reports Class $60 in
Debt—Crockett and Janet
Young Delegates •
At a meeting of the Freshman class
Friday afternoon, P. 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.
