COPIES OF REGULAR
BALLOTS OBTAINED
FOR EMERALD VOTE
POLLS IN CHARGE OF PROFESSOR
ALLEN’S JOURNALISM
CLASSES
POLLS CLOSE AT FOURP. M. WEDNESDAY
College Classes Are Now Precincts—
Faculty and Other College Em
ployees May Vote.
Wide-spread interest is being taken
in the straw balloting to be conducted
by the Oregon Emerald tomorrow and
participated in by the entire Student
Body and Faculty of the University,'
from 11 until 4 o clock.
Ballots Will Be Official Duplicates.
The ballots on which the neai'-vot
ers will register their opinions will
be exact duplicates of those which
will be used at the polls at the com
ing national election in Lane county.
By thus securing the student senti
ment on all the questions to be de
cided later by the general electorate,
the promoters of the mock ballot be
lieve they will obtain the “dope” on
public opinion, and for this reason
the results will be watched by the
newspapers of the State with consid
erable interest.
The balloting will start promptly at
11 o’clock, Wednesday morning, im
mediately following the regular stu
dent assembly, and will continue until
4 o’clock in the afternoon. At 2
o’clock, however, contrary to the cus
tom in real elections, the judges at
the four polling places will begin to
check up the results of the ballots al
ready cast, in order that the long and
arduous count may be completed and
the outcome announced as early as
possible.
Voting in Charge of Journalists.
The voting will be in cha? ge of mem
bers of Professor Allen’s advanced
classes in journalism, who will be
guided by the student registration list
compiled by Registrar Tiffany in
challenging would-be voters. Members
of the beginning journalism class will
assist in the management at the polls
and in the counting of the ballots.
Precinct System Will Be Used.
To facilitate voting, the Student
body has been divided into four pre
cincts, the first three consisting of,
the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior i
classes, and the fourth of the Senior ■
class, special students, Faculty, and
other employees of the University, in
cluding janitors, engineers, and gar
deners. The polling places have been
designated as follows: Precinct one,
Freshmen, auditorium in Villard Hall;
precinct two, Sophomores, main cor
ridor of Villard Hall; precinct three,
Juniors, Professor Schafer’s room in
the library building; precinct four,
Seniors, specials, instructors and em
ployees, Professor Allen’s room in
McClure Hall.

NEW BULLETIN APPEARS NOV.
8—MATERIAL RESPONSE SLOW
The first issue of the Extension De
partment Monthly will appear about
November 8.
Those in charge of the new publica
tion, Miss Mozelle Hair, of the cor
respondence department, Professor
Joseph Schafer, Professor E. W. Al
len, and Mrs. C. S. Parsons, of the
English department, have announced
that one-half of the Monthly will be
taken up with a discussion of the
work being done by the Extension
Bureau. The rest of the magazine
has been reserved for the various de
partments.
This Monthly has been planned es
pecially for the Extension Students,
and all the departments of the Uni
versity have been asked to contrib
ute towards its success. Several of
the Faculty and students have re
sponded, but not according to expec
tations, said Professor Allen.
ATHLETES PASS POSTS
Team Leaves Thursday for Moscow—
Coaches Uncommunicative as to
Outlook.
Yesterday afternoon, for the first
time this season, every man on the
Oregon football squad appeared for
practice. Those who were barred by
posts have satisfied their instructors
by successfully passing the prescribed
quizzes, and reports from Hayward
hospital indicate that all wards are
empty.
Hall was in the lineup for the first
time since the Willamette game and
Fenton and Heusner appeared for the
first time since the Whitman massa- !
ere. The presence of these old men
ga Te new life to the rest of the team
and resulted in lively, excellent prac
tice.
In Saturday’s game not a single
Oregon man was injured, although
Edward Bailey suffered some embar
rassment when he swallowed a yel
low-jacket. But Doctor Hayward re
moved the intruder from the tackle’s
tonsil without serious consequences.
The team will leave Thursday for
Moscow, where they will meet the
strong Idaho eleven. Idaho defeated
Pullman 1" to 0, but lost to Washing
ton last Saturday by a 24 to 0 score.
Coach Pinkham and Trainer Hayward
refuse to talk considering the chances
of the team.
STUDENTSJID PLAY
“The Clouds,” the play to be given
by Professor Reddie’s class in dram
atic interpretation, and for the benefit
ol' the Student Body treasury, will be
presented in Villard Hall, November
iu, since that place has been deemed
better than a theatre, as no curtains
will be used.
“The Clouds,” which will be repre
sented by a chorus of twenty co-eds,
will be led by Miss Alberta Campbell.
David Campbell will compose the mu
sic for the play, while Leland Finch
will paint the necessary scenery for
the performance.
Dr. Stuart is coaching the dancing,
while Miss Eve Stinson has charge of
the musical numbers.
HIGH COST OF LIVING
IN TICKET PRICE SHOWN
The price of admission for Bill
Hayward’s illustrated lecture on the
Olympic games to be given, Novem
ber- 8. in Villard Hall, has been raised!
to fifty cents, or twice the original
cha-ge announced. The proceeds will ■
be used in defraying the expenses of
the football training table.
Manager Geary in speaking of the
lecture said:
“No college in America had more
th n two men on the Olympic team at
Stockholm, and few colleges had their
-vn trainer among the staff of ex
perts in charge of the athletes. The
sending of three men to the Olympic
games advertised Oregon throughout
the wo ld. rphe pictures of the scenes
at the Stadium, and aboard ship while
ouroute, should be interesting to a
E -vene audience, especially when de
scribed bv their own trainer, a man,
who is recognized as the leading
i -tho’itv on the coast. Mr. Hayward’s |
ce’ies of articles in the Oregonian j
hove b'en widely read throughout the |
state, rot only by High School ath-;
iMes and trainers, but also by the gen
e’al public.”
Professor and Mrs. Frederic S.
Dunn were dinner guests at the Mu
Phi Epsilon house, Monday evening.

The total campus circulation of the
Emerald has reached 375—an increase
of some 17 per cent over the total
figure for last year. Seven hundred
copies go to Alumni and outside sub
scribers, and 40 to exchange papers.
Collier Desires More Support.
In speaking of the figures present
ed by the circulation agent, Manager
Andrew Collier said: “While we have
a decided increase over last year’s cir
culation, I think that we are justified
in looking for more uniform support
from the organized student groups.
It is our aim to bring the campus cir
culation up to 400, thus reaching a
good fifty per cent of students and
faculty.
“Our managing staff has proven
most satisfactory, working in har
mony with the editorial branches and
building up both advertising and cir
culation in a highly gratifying de
gree.”
PIPER IS_SPE1KER
Editor of Oregonian Secured by Jour
nalistic Department for Assem
bly Address.
E. P. Piper, managing editor of the
Oregonian, has accepted the invita
tion of President Campbell, to address
the students of the University some
time after election. He will probably
speak on November 20, the date sug
gested by the president.
The appearance of Mr. Piper be
fore the University students comes
primarily from the plan formulated
by Professor E. W. Allen, of the Jour
nalism Department of the University,
to have a series of lectures to the stu
dents by leading editors, for the espe
cial benefit of the students in the de
partment of journalism.
This first address by Mr. Piper will
be given at the regular assembly hour,
but the following lectures will be
confined more strictly to the amateur
journalists, although there will be no
restriction upon who shall hear the
lectures.
DR. PARSONS SPEAKS

Dr. William Parsons, of the local
Presbyterian Church, will speak on
“The Type of Character You Have to

BY COACHING SYSTEM
Monday morning’s Oregonian had
the following comment by the Univer
sity's "Father of Athletics” on the!
graduate coach system in vogue here:
In the Thursday issue the Oregon
Emerald says of the Oregon-Washing-;
ton State game:
“This game has aroused interest
over the entire Northwest, because it
will be a fair test of Oregon’s grad
uate coach system.”
"Oh, shucks! ’ commented that no-!
blest graduate coach exponent of them
all, Pat McArthur, when the mailman
brought that news into the office, just
as returns came in from the game.!
“Pinkham was a great player and 1
think he should make good as coach.”
Martin Hawkins, T2, Lyle Brown,
T2, Arthur Lewis, ex-’12, Ray Early,
Ted Holden, ex-’15, were week-end
guests at the Sigma Chi house.
NOTED JURIST SPEAKS
G. F. Williams Declared to be Best
Friend of State Outside of Her
Borders.
Hon. George Fred Williams, who
1 will speak to the men of the Univer
j sity tomorrow night in Villard Hall,
! under the auspices of the Wilson Club,
; has been referred to as “the greatest
; friend that the State of Oregon has
I outside her own borders.”
This title was earned when the
| Democratic speaker volunteered to de
! fend the Oregon system before the
i Supreme Court of the United States,
when the state's form of government
was on trial before that tribunal. Mr.
Williams presented a brief that was
declared to be unanswerable by Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, and was select
ed by him for distribution to the peo
ple through “The Commoner.”
For the last four years Mr. Wil
liams, who spoke at the Gypsy Smith
Tabernacle last evening, has been se
lected by the American Bar Associa
tion to edit their Annual Digest of
Court Decisions. His ability as a
scholar has thus been recognized.
Mr. Williams has been billed to
speak Wednesday evening in Villard
Hall, at 8 o’clock sharp. The meet
ing has been arranged for by the Wil
son Club, acting in connection with
the State Democratic Committee.
INDOOR WORK STARTS
Indoor class work for all Univer
sity women will begin Monday, No
vember 5. Swedish gymnastics and
folk dances of all nations will be in
cluded in all classes this year. Aside
from the regular class work there will
be two classes in gymnastic dancing.
There will be about fifty women in
the beginning class and thirty-five in
the advanced. Those who desire to
but have not yet entered the begin
ning class, may do so, provided some
work along that line has already been
done.
All physical examinations are to be
completed this week. Those who have
not yet reported, are required to do
so before November 1.
GEARY’S IM.AN MEANS
LOSS TO TREASURY
The adoption of Manager Geary’s
season ticket plan will mean a loss to
the Student Body of approximately
$500, due to the failure of students
to purchase tickets, as was expected.
Two hundred fifty tickets have been
| sold. The Executive Committee will
consider the advisability of adopting
the system and give its final decision
j next Thursday evening.
Manager Geary said, “1 believe we
should try the system, although we
will lose money the first year. The
plan is being used in all colleges of
the Northwest, and I see no reason
why we can not make a success of
j it.”
An investigation showed that sixty
per cent of the purchasers are living
in fraternity houses, seventy-five per
I cent are men, and nearly the entire
list was found to consist of the fre
quenters of college activities.
The initiative and referendum are
being inaugurated in the new consti
tution of the student government at
the University of Wisconsin. Two
hundred signatures are necessary to
bring a question to a vote and it must
be passed by a two-thirds majority,

AMENDMENT PROVIDES THAT
TREASURER WILL BE MEMBER
OK ATHLETIC COl NCIL
MEASURE IS FAVORED BY SPENCER
The Speaker Is u Noted Author and
Lecturer With Ministerial
Training.
Immediately following the address
by Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, at the
regular Student Assembly tomorrow
morning, President Carleton Spencer,
ot the Student Body, will call a spe
cial meeting of the students for the
purpose of acting upon the constitu
tional amendment offered at the last
meeting, which provides for making
the treasurer of the Student Body a
momboi of the Athletic Council.
fhe amendment was conceived with
the idea that such a system would re
sult, in greater efficiency of the Coun
cil, which would thus be supplied with
the latest information regarding the
Student Body finances, and thus aid
the business that comes up before
that body.
President Spencer said in regard to
the passage of the amendment: “It is
a good measure. 1 think if will pass.
At 1 ast have heard nothing to the
eontiary among the students.”
The address at the regular assem
bly tomorrow in Villard Hall
will be d. livei ed by Dr. Charles Mon
100 Sheldon, pastor of the Central
Church, Topeka, Kansas. Mr. Shel
don is one of the best known ministers
in the country at the present time, he
has written a number of widely read
books, and he ranks among the lead
ing lecturers of the United States.
The best known of his works are, “In
His Steps,” “His Brother’s Keeper,”
and “Born to Serve.”
Dr. Sheldon was educated at An
dover and Brown Universities, re
ceived bis theological training in An
dover Theological Institute, and was
ordained as a Congregational minister.
For the last twenty-five years he has
held his present position. However,
his ability as an author has won him
the reputation which he at p^'sent en

WASHINGTON PLAYS HAVOC
WITH GEM STATE TEAM
(By Dal Kinp.)
The lamentable condition of Coach
Dobie’s team was shown Saturday,
when they were able to stack up a
score of 22 to 0 apainst the Idaho
eleven durinp the first half of the
pame. From the tales of woe cman
ating from the Washinpton camp, one
would think most any prammar school
team could have beaten them. But
those acquainted with the ways of
Pobic wore up to his pame and were
not surprised to see his huskies play
havoc with the Idaho line.
Dobie’s backs pierced the Gem
State’s line at will. In fact, they
crossed the poal so many times that
the second team was sent in in the
second half to allow the varsitv men
to repain their breath. The Wash
ington line held apainst the onslauphts
of the husky Idaho hack field men.
Washington’s poal was never in ser
ious danger. The Idahoans were al
ways at Washington's mercy, but put
up a trams fipht This simmers the
Northwest championship down to
Washinpton, Whitman, and O. A. C.
Australia’s crack ruphy football
team crossed Stanford’s poal line hut
once Saturday, winning the pame,
