THE HOPE OF OREGON
RAISED OVER JUDGE
SECRETARY OLCOTT WISHES
MATTER BROUGHT TO A
SPEEDY END
CASE SURE TO GO TO SUPREME COURT
President Campbell Considers the
University Morally and Legally
Right.
The annuoncement of Judge Gallo
way’s decision declaring the refer
endum on Oregon’s much-buffeted
neat-appropriation to be illegal, has
giveW a new i'mpetds to the hopes of
the friends of thfe'University, not only
within the college precincts, but
throughout the entire state.
There is a general feeling that the
decision of Judge Gallaway is legally
right, and will be sustained by the
supreme court. The state has of
course, appealed the case, but should
the higher tribunal refuse to reverse
the decision, it will stand without
further contest. The newspapers of
the state have almost tinafihnously
voiced their approval of Judge Gallo
way’s action and their confidence in
its legality'. 5 ' '
Perhaps the man who has been the
storm center of the attack on the
University, and who therefore has
most cause to be elated ' oVer the
latest turn of affairs, is President
Campbell. Speaking to an Emerald
reporter yesterday, he said:
“I am of cotirse very much pleased
over Judge Galloway’s decision and
fell greatly enco'urahged concerning
our prospects for securing the bene
fits of the appropriation granted by
the legislature at an early date. 1
believe that we are right, * both mor
ally and legally, and that the su
preme court will sustain the decision.
The evidence of fraud shown in the
petitions i& certainly sufficient tio inf
peach their validity. The supreme
court is, of course, a body of emin
ently fair men and as such must de
cide the case on the legal merits.
“Regarding the chances fbi- se
curing an early1 decision in the caSe,
Judge Slater and the other lawyers
for the University, tell me we may
expect it within six weeks or two
months. According to Gregoii law,
cases in which the state is a party,
take precbdehce over others and there
fore this appeal will be advanced on
the docket and a long wait wili be
prevented.
“Th'e state may delay the decision
somewhal." however, by taking up the
full allotted tirte befores filing its
briefs. It is true that they have not
yet been filed, but I expect they will
be' in a very fe*w days. Secretary
of State Olcott says, he wishes to
bring the matter to the earliest pos
sible conclusion. We may reasonably
expect a decision not later than the
first part of February.
“Regarding the newspaper report
that some documentary evidence has
been lost, it is true that papers which
were introduced as exhibits' ate miss
ing. The afccidenf evidently occurred
in their transference from Salem to
Portland. However, they are of
slight importance and, whether or
riot" they wife found, will have fio ef
fect on tile future- course of the
case.”
Miss Mildred Jtegley is expected to
return to twlftgfe aBbufc thferf*st of
tffe'Wefet. arrival wds 'nec
essitated by the' severe illness of her
grandmother.
DR. CONKLIN GIVES COURSE
FOR PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS
The new two hour course by Dr.
Conklin will embrace the subjects,
“Mental Hygiene and Pre-Medical
Psychology,” rather than “Mental
Psychology,” as was stated in the
last issue of the Emerald.
According to the announcement
the treatment of these subjects will
cover the general conditions of
healthy mental activity so far as
they have been determined, studies of
sub-nornial children with reference
to their classification and treatment
in the schools; phenomena of fixed
ideas; obsessions; disassociations;
ainnesias; hysteria; insanity and psy
chotherapeutics, including the princi
pals and methods of the Freudian
school;.■; ‘•r
“The course is designed to meet
the needs of pre-medical students and
students in physical training. It will
be open to these and to majors in
psychology. Elementary psychology
is a prerequisite,” said Doctor Conk
lin, when interviewed.
Miss Irma Clifford will not return
to college this y6ar.
BISHOP SGADQIIG TALKS
Big Turnout of Students Hear Lec
tiire On’ “Conquest Of a
Continent.*’
( T
Bishop Scadding, Episcopal bishop
of Oregon, spoke during the assembly
hour today on the subject, “Conquest
of a Continent.” He told of the Epis
copalian missionary movements in
America since the foundiifg of James
town,1 ebpeiHally’thosfe aniong the In
dians. Hd haS b’eeri personally en
gaged in these enterprises, and
showed many slides which he himself
had photographed.
The?1 Standing Rock Reservation in
Sotfth Dakota*had a vfery :encourag
ing exaid^l d 'of’ Indian mission. * ;The
church buildings are usually thronged
by the men to such an extent that the
women have to hold open air meetings
by themselves. The Aborigine Ladies’
Aid here has raised over two thousand
dollars ini'tithes for the use of other
missions. Many rebel chiefs who could
not be tamed by the government, were
easily made good citizens through the
work of thfe Episcopalian missionaries.
The more western reservations are so
well taken ’ care of that missions are
hardly rifeCesSary. *34 '•
Bishop Scadding strongly urges
church Unity; nothing, he says, seems
mote Sad than to see some sihall town
with about‘sixteen spires pointing to
heaven, each saying, “Come under my
star and you will be all right, if you
go under anyother star, look out!”
'Thhr hour was preceded By two well
chbden numbers from the Girls’ Glee
Chib. This is their first public ap
pearance, and they more thati fulfilled
expectations.

OREGON CLUB HOLDS IN
FORMAL LEAP YEAR PARTY

The Oregon Club gave an informal
leap year party in Villard Hall, Sat

$15000 HOUSE IS PLAN
Bishop Scadding will Build Home
for Varsity Girls not in
Sororities
Bishop Scadding and President
Campbell were guests at the Dorm
itory at dinner yesterday, during.
which Bishop Scadding spoke at
length on the proposed new home for
tTrdversity girls tb be erected at the;
Corner of Eleventh street and Uni
versity avenue. The present plan is
to incorporate for $15,000, bonds will
be issued bearing six per cent, to run
for 10 or 15 years and the bondhold
ers will-form a holding company.
A first class house; something like
the Kappa Sigma home, will be built
and will accommodate as many as
thirty girls. The house will be pre
sided over by a housemother, who will
also be the business manager.
The idea, as outlined by Mr. Scad
ding, is to construct an ideal home
for girls that' are not sorority pledges
and are unable to secure rooms near
the University. It is to be non
sectarian, though the bishop intimat
ed that he expected a^eensiderhble
number of his flock to occupy quar
ters there.
The home will be advertised in the
catalog and applications will be re
ceived by the registrar.
The building operations will be
started as soon as sufficient bonds
are sold. Efforts are being made to
sell bonds in Eugene, us the Eugene
people are expected to show their in
terest before outside people can be
asked to buy. Bdcausfe', the bishop
states,' that when people about the
state are approached on the subject,
their first inquiry is, “What interest
do Eugene people show?”
The home MM be self-supporting
and will' be run on a similar plan to
Hyland Hall at the U. of W. arid will
have Sail ‘of the Social ahd economic
advantages of the sororities.

OREGON MONTHLY TO
BE DISCONTINUED
FOR REST OF YEAR
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DE
CIDES TO CUT EXPENSES
AND SAVE DEBT
WILL SAVE $400 BY DISCONTINUANCE
> 1} f , •; s*
Geary Predicts Deficit of $1,713.50 by
Close of Present School
Year.
In order to reduce the expenses of
the student body, and put the treas
ury on a firmer financial basis, it
was definitely decided by the execu
tive committee last night to discon
tinue the publication of the Oregon
Monthly after the end of the first
semester, The Monthly has always
drawn heavily on the student finances,
and each year has ended with a large
deficit. So far each issue of the
monthly publication has cost the stu
dent body one hundred dollars, and
by doing away with it, a saving of at
least $400 will result for the year.
For several years the student body
has supported a debt amounting to
near two thousand dollars, and year
after year it has remained undimished.
At the beginning of the present se
mester the treasury received about
$8,000 in student body taxes, and the
debt of two thousand dollars plus
forty dollars for interest was paid im
mediately. The football season closed
with but little money to the good,
while the Glee Club made no money on
the trip. This leaves the student
treasury practically depleted, if not a
little more so.
On the basis of the reports of the
different managers of student activi
ties, last year, and including other in
cidental expenses, Manager Geary
estimated that the deficit at the end
of the year will amount to $1,713.50.
This estimate was made without con
sidering the expense of maintaining
the monthly for the rest of the year,
or figuring the salary for a baseball
coach.
In view of these facts, the executive
committee decided to inaugurate a
plan of reducing expenses, and the
first to fall was the Monthly. Other
methods of cutting expenses are also
under consideration, but were not
made public. They will probably be
taken up at the next meeting of the
executive bod^.
FIRST ORATORIAL TRY
OUT TO BE HELD SOON
The time for the first tryout of the
oratorical contests is rapidly draw
ing near and the orators are round
ing their speeches into final form
The committee of oratory and de
bate has in mind to reconsider the
ruling which compels the successful
candidate of the inter-collegiate try
outs to prepare a new oration for the
inter-state try-outs. The plan is to
allow the successful candidate to use
his original oration,—that is the
speech as it was before any altera
tions were made by his advisors and
coaches. This matter will be settled
in' the next meeting of the commit
tee.
Among the likely candidates for
both inter-collegiate and inter-state
contests are Howard Zimmerman,
Earl Jones, Leon Ray, Forrest Dun
ton, David Pickett, and Burns PqwuU
