SUMMER SCHOOL SHOWS URGE INCREASE Social Side of Summer Colony is Shown to be Distinguishing Feature of School The Summer School enrollment ofr the past season shows a decided ad vance over that of the previous years there being a gain of seventy stu dents over the roll of 1910. The student list was not confined, as is so often supposed, to "flunks” from the regular classes, but was heavily augmented by high school teachers, county supervisors and posr graduates. A few also entered to make up matriculation credits which had been omitted in prep, school. Be sides these there were a sprinkling of easterners who considered the U. of 0. Summer School as an outing that is hard to surpass. For real “pip” the summer colony was equal to the winter scnool, ac cording to all reports. Receptions, dances, and picnics were given in great profusion, with a sprinkling of hayrides and ball games to lend va riety to the festivities. Apart from the social side, Regis trar Tiffany reports a most success ful year. At the present rate of im provement, he confidently expects an enrollment of 250 students for next year. PROF. COLLIER INVESTIGATES COAL FIELD FOR GOV’T Prof. Collier, head of the depart ment of geology of the U. of O., spent the summer examining the Washing ton coal fields for the United States government. He covered and investi gated all coal fields in Washington and made an exhaustive report to the department, dealing with the grade of coal, conditions of mining, and the cost of placing the mined product upon the market. His work carried him first to the Columbia river, where he found a low grade of coal, having a heat value very little larger than that of wood. From the Columbia the Professor worked north up the Cowlitz river into the Centralia and Cowlitz coun try, thence east through the Cowlitz Pass to the summit of the Cascade mountains. Between Cowlitz Pass and the Cascades he found the high est grade of coal, anthracite and semi anthracite. East of Chehalis he found prospects of high grade coal and also several beds of bithumious coal, such as is| used in making high grade coke. Clarence A. Steele, ’10, was mar ried on September 6, to Miss Florence Williamson, of Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Steele will sail during the second week of October for Bangkok, Siam, where they will engage in missionary work. 3f?e College folk’s SfjOC Sfyop 33urbett & (Srafyam 568 IPiUamette Street ANNUAL Y. M. G. A. STAG GIVEN AT DORMITORY Speeches. Cock-fights. Cider and Cheering Give Freshmen a Sam ple of Oregon “Pip" The Y. M. C. A. Stas’ Social was pulled off on Friday night with the usual display of Oregon spirit in the form of noise and Oregon songs. Chet Moores launched out as a yell leader and drew forth almost as much of a demonstration as Charlie Robin 1 son used to, despite the fact that new men had the yells to learn. i Bob Kellogg carried off the honors as the best “cock fighter” by defeat ing Dunton. This gives Bob the right to hold for the next year the silver cup which was in the posses sion of Hippo Gillis last year. The initial injection of Oregon spir it was administered to the freshmen by speeches from Pres. Campbell and from representatives of the various college enterprises. Leon Ray spoke for the Associated Student Body, Bob Kellogg for football and track, Spen cer for debate and oratory, Ralph Moores for publications, Jones for the Y. M. C. A., and Geary, the new graduate manager, gave some good advice to the freshmen. Kinney Miller, secretary of the City Y. M. C. A., rendered two vocal selec tions which were enthusiastically ap plauded. The whole affair was capped off with doughnuts, apples and cider. FRE5HIES HOLD CONTEST Villard Hall Roars With Oratory In Eulogy of Candidates Nominated. “Mr. President, I nominate”; “Mr. Chairman, I think!” “I rise to a point of order!” “Sit down, or I’ll have you thrown out.” Such were the expressions that issued from Vil lard Hall Monday afternoon, as the Freshmen were having their first meeting and were electing their offi cers for the ensuing year. Assembled 150 strong, alert and ambitious, our first year students per fected their organization with a rush and clamor that shook the very build ing. A beauty contest, one freshman called it, for, he said, “invariably the best looking candidate was elected.” Speeches galore were delivered. The career of each candidate was carefully related and eulogized from the timg he first opened his eyes un til he graduated with fame from his “prep” school. So zealous was one orator in expounding the many fine points of his candidate that he neg lected the trivial requirement of men tioning his name and nominating him. ' Each nominee was required to stand up that his fellow classmen might view him in all his glory, and it was “woe be it unto him,” so they say, whose modest disposition prevented him from swelling his chest to its full capacity. When the smoke of the campaign had cleared away, Leland S. Finch, of Eugene, found himself possessed of the presidential honors; Miss Edna Harvey, also of Eugene, with the vice presidency; Miss Taylor, of Albany, with the secretaryship; Bert Gerard, of Portland, with the treasuryship, and Dale Chessman, of Pendleton, sergeant-at-arms. Before adjournment the president was instructed to appoint a commit tee to draw up a constitution and by laws. Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION WILL BE HELD FRIDAY EVE The annual Y. W. C. A. reception and acquaintance party has been an nounced to take place in Villard Hall on the evening of Friday, the twenty ninth of this month. All men, as well as women, are invited to attend this gathering, which is always one of the features of the college year. A good program has been prepared and the wants of the inner man will be satisfied with refreshments. An enjoyable evening is assured. GW mils PUNS AS GRADUATE MANAGER Kay Now Making Arrangements to Offer Necessary Amendments to Constitution. Eugene, Ore., Sept. 27, 1911. To the Student Body of the University of Oregon: The installation of the graduate managership system at the University of Oregon brings with it some confu sion, for the duties of the graduate manager are not specifically outlined by the amendment creating the office and the diffierent parts of the consti tution have not been co-ordinated so as to make the relationship of the graduate manager to the treasurer, the executive committee and Athletic council clear. However, from inquir ing as to the scope and the nature of the work of the graduate managers in other colleges of the Pacific coast, I have gained a very good idea as to how the affairs of the student body are handled elsewhere. President Ray and others are going over the consti tution with the purpose of preparing necessary amendments for presenta tion to the students at the first reg ular meeting of the Association. Ac cordingly, I hope to see the graduate manager system in operation at the University on a well defined working basis within a week or two. For handling the financial affairs of the student body, I have laid down for myself the following rules, to which I will strictly adhere. 1. All money expended shall be shown on vouchers signed by the per son who receives the money. 2. The money received from each game, debate, student body tax and other source of income to the treas ury shall be vouched for in writing by witnesses to the settlement. 3. The graduate manager shall pay no bills from student funds con tracted by other parties than himself, unless specifically asked to by the ex ecutive committee or athletic coun cil. 4. The graduate manager will pur chase all supplies for the enterprises of which he has charge. Respectfully, ARTHUR A. GEARY. Flint McLaughlin Go Cbe Store that saves you money V. H. Rowland O. A.
