AS HEART SMASHER
PARTS ARE WELL SUSTAINED
Alberta Campbell is Leading Lady—
Support from the Minor
Parts.
The Dramatic Club scored a big
success Friday evening in its produc
tion of “Engaged.” The theater was
filled with a large, appreciative audi
ence, who applauded generously and
enjoyed the humor of the sitpations
keenly.
Chester Moores, as Cheviot Hill,
a young man of property, was espe
cially clever and realistic in his part.
He had no difficulty in convincing each
of the three girls to whom he en
gaged himself that each was the tree
upon which the fruit of his heart
grew—a statement each time more
appreciated by the audience.
Lila Clark, as Maggie McFarland,
a lowland lassie who was a good girl
and very beautiful, was very good
in her interpretation of her part.
Alberta Campbell, as Belinda Tre
herne, deserves great credit for her
splendid* acting. She played the part
of the sentimental, melodramatic girl
to perfection.
Minnie was also very cleverly done
by Hazel Wightman.
Ralph Moores, as Belvawney, the
man with the awful eyes and Sher
lock Holmes gestures, was one of the
big hits of the evening. His make-up
and characterization were especially
good.
In fact, each of the cast deserves
great praise for their splendid work.
The play is a farce founded upon
the loose marriage laws of Scotland,
which consider a man and woman
married who swear to it in the pres
ence of three witnesses. Cheviot
Hill’s fondness for collecting vari
eties for his orchard of trees upon
which the fruit of his heart grew
led to several amusingly serious di
lemmas, and the supposed loss of his
fortune almost proved a frost which
destrowed his whole orchard.
The cast was:
Maggie McFarland, a lowland las
sie . Miss Clarke
Angus Macalister, a lowland lad in
love with her .Mr. Anderson
Mrs. Macfarland, Maggie’s mother,

Scroll and Script elected but two
girls to membership this year—Nell
Hemenway and Carin Degermark.
Especial emphasis was placed upon
scholarship this year, an average of
at least ninety per cent for the three
year’s work being the primary re
quisite. Prominence in student body
activities, general popularity and
character are also considered. Scroll
and Script represents the much talked
of “all around girl,” the good scholar,
prominance in student body acivities,
and general popularity.

Several co-eds have asked us how
the “horrid” yellow paint got all over
the heels of the boy’s shoes who
painted the “0.” Does anybody
know?
JUNIOR MEN PAINT “0
Freshmen Made to be Useful as
Well as Ornametal This
Year.
The concrete “0” on Skinner’s
Butte was given its fifth annual coat
of yellow paint by a special com
mittee of Juniors Friday morning.
An annonymous rabble of “frosh”
was herded to the scene of activity
by the upperclassmen, at which place
the first year men were prevailed
upon to furnish the principle labor
other than overseeing.
Since the construction of the big
letter by the 1908 class, it has been
a University Day custom for the
Juniors to repaint the monogram.
The “O” invariably falls a prey to the
artistic besmearing of outside col
legians during the summ reard school
year. Two years ago the. visiting
California baseball team transformed
the Varsity letter into a “C” by paint
ing out one side of the oval. In the
fall of 1902, before the 0. A. C. foot
ball game, the Aggies besmirched the
monogram with a rich coat of
range.
The Juniors who posed for the cam
era on the work Friday were Cash,
Grayson, Waite, Bailey, Martin,
Bauer, Rolfe, Siglin, Carrol.
The Senior booth, Campus Day, re
ceived great admiration from the vis
itors. A fragile covering of lark-spur
and bouquets of poppies completed
the coloi scheme of yellow and blue.
The Senior birls presided in caps and
gown, s irving coffee, cake, and ice
cream.

OFFENSE IS MUCH DEPLORED

MEMBERS OF FACULTY
OUTSIDERS PERHAPS GUILTY
Freshman Class Adopt Resolution
to Help Find Guilty
Party.
Armed with a brush and supply of
green paint, come unknown miscre
ants plastered the 1915 class numerals
upon the buildings and about the cam
pus Thursday night. On the front
of Villard Hall, especially, a hideous
scrawl was placed, which removed
with the greatest difficulty by the
University workmen.
A storm of indignation arose from
the entire student body and faculty
when the ojense was discovered Fri
day mornin. An immediate effort was
made to place the guilt upon the of
fenders. President Campbell, when
interviewed in regard to the matter,
said. “We will make every effort to
discover the guilty party, and if suc
cessful, drastic action will follow. It
is to .be regretted that such an act
would be perpetrated at this particu
lar time, when the University is the
host for the many outside visitors.
However, I am not confident that it
is a University student who is guilty
of the offense, but rather some outside
or irresponsible persons who would
take this opportunity of shouldering
the blame upon the Freshmen.”
Several years ago it was a common
custom for both the upper and lower
classmen to post their numerals about
the campus, but drastic action by the
faculty two years ago has resulted
in discouraging the practice.
A special meeting of the Freshman
class was called Friday noon, at which
meeting the following resolutions
were adopted:
“We, the Freshman class, do here
by denounce the action of the un
known person or persons who defaced
the University campus with the nu
merals of the 1915 class. We declare
ourselves innocent of this rude and
most ungentlemanly act, and pledge to
do our best to bring the persons
guilty of the offense to justice.”
Junior Week-End
Senior to Preper: “Is there any
thing I can do for you? My life is
yours.”
Senior next fall: “Dog, take thou
my hat, trunk, suitcase, and wipe off
that smile.”
Wise students talk to Faculty pa
trons lest the evil ones conjure exams

“CASS” KENNEDY CAUSES *
SCANDAL *
* Big Bribe Offered Editor by *
* Cunning Actor.
**********
At 10 A. M. today midst the rush
of machinery and late copy, Rowland
“Cassidy” Kennedy attempted to bribe
our worthv editor, with the flash of
gold, into consenting to give his act
of last night a front page write up.
. Although Miss Lewis’ creditors are
pressing pretty urgently, her con
science and invisible ideas of justice
were fortified by the fact that she
held down a front seat last evening
at “Engaged,” she therefore felt less
compunction in refusing to star Mr.
Kennedy as Major McGillieuddy.
“Cass” deeply feels the infamy
which this refusal will cast upon his
future success, at what we are not
sure, and if the firm and rather
pained eyes of the editor had not
irrevocably pronounced his sentence,
the copy writers who were witnesses,
affirm he would have raised his bribe.
DR. JOSEPHI RESIGNS
Honored President of Oregon Med
ical College Given
Banquet.
On Tuesday night, Dr. S. E. Jo
sephi’s resignation from the medical
department of the University of Ore
gon was accepted and his successor,
Dr. K. A. Makenzie, was chosen. Dr.
Josephi has been dean of the college
continuously since the faculty was or
ganized and for the past twenty-five
years has faithfully carried out his
duties.
The history of the Medical College
is interesting, dating, as it does, from
June 14, 1887, when a number of
prominent physicians of Portland pe
titioned the Board of Regents of the
University of Orego nto establish a
Medical Department in Portland. The
petition was signed by many prom
inent doctors, who realized the need of
such an institution and pledged their
support. The regents granted their
petitions, and in July passed resolu
tions authorizing the enstblishment of
the faculty.
During the same month rules for
the government of the faculty were
adopted.
In a small two-story building, lo
cated at Twenty-second and Marshal
streets, the school began and grew
steadily until it now occupies the pres
ent building at Twenty-third and
Lovejoy streets.
Twenty-five years ago, the school
occupied but two rooms, and had a
student roll of six. Today it has
grown to the largest medical school
north of San Francisco and west of
the Mississippi river. The school is
in the class of accredited institutions,
according to the requirements of the
Council of Educatio nof U. S. of
America.
Athough the student roll is not so
large today as it was several years :

GUESTS
BUSHER BROWN LEADS YELL
Class Booths Provide Food for the
Multitude of Hungry
Workers.
The campus of our University is
beautiful at any time, under any con
ditions, but what could parallel the
scene took place immediately after
the blowing of the noon whistle which
announced the fact that the college
men who had been manual laborers
since early morning should leave their
work and gather together on the cam
pus between McClure and the Dorm
for “eats,” which the girls of the
different classes had busily prepared
during the morning hours. Each
class had appointed a committee of
five or six co-eds to take charge of
booths, which were artistically deco
rated in the respective class colors.
The college women who were not del
egated to divide the viands were bus
ily engaged in “buzzing” and making
an impression upon the prospective
of the fairer sex for 1916. Each co
ed, it seemed, had donned her very
best, and needless to say, each was
most alluring in her summer frills
and finery. The campus was alive
with contrasting color, shy glances
and suppressed hilarity.
As soon as the college men had all
gathered, before the admiring gaze
of the visiting “preppers,” they did
an enthusiastic serpentine in the mid
dle of the campus, keeping step with
the familiar and spirited Rah! Rah!
When the line had formed a solid
circular mass under the leadership of
Yell Leader Lyle Brown, the “Ore
gon Oskiwow, wow” and “Rah! Rah!
Oregon!” were given. These inspir
ing college yells called forth vehe
ment applause from the women of the
University, who may approve, but not
participate in, such outbursts of col
lege feeling. In unwinding, the line,
led by Busher Brown, filed past the
booths, from whence were doled out
the material reward of the morning’s
work.
Hazel Tooze, Gertrude Taylor and
Lyle Steiwer passed out plates,
spoons, napkins, sandwiches and po
tato chips from the Freshman booth,
which was skillfully decorated in red
and white by means of bunting and
tulips.
Next, the hungry men received
meats and baked beans from the Saph
omore booth, adorned in green and
white, where presided Ruth Beach,
