r I l l UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XIV. EUGENE, OREGON, Tl ESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1912.__No- 18 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. tpi _ x;_t_i A IJUAUUIl O a ‘ I The management of the Frosh is expected to prove the most difficult task, on account of their greater inexperience.

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.

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 TO Y. M. MEMBERS Dr. William Parsons, of the local Presbyterian Church, will speak on “The Type of Character You Have to Impart,” at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting, Thursday evening, October •51. This is the first meeting begin ning at 7:15. the new date set by the Y. M. Cabinet. Miss Lila Prosser will furnish spe cial music. Donald McMicken, of Portland, was a guest of the Sigma Chi’s last week. pat McArthur stands 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, o o Lehigh has been admitted to mem ! bership in the Intercollegiate Wrest I ling Association. ASSEMBLY COMBINES BUSINESS WITH TALK BY REV. Cl SHELDON 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 iovs. 00000000 0 0000 o o o DON’T FORGET YOUR o o EMERALD PRECINCTS o O - O' o Seniors, Faculty and Employees, o o Professor Allen’s room, Me- o o Clure Hall. o> o o o Juniors. o o Professor Schafer’s room, o o Library. o o o o Sophomores. o o Professor Straub’s room, Vil- o o lard Hall. o o o o Freshmen o o Assembly room, Villard Hall, o o o oooooo ooooooo 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.
