r NEARLY ALL COLLEGE MEN
r VOTE AND MANY WORE AT
POLLS
JOURNALISM CLASSES RECEIVE RETURNS
Students Assigned to News Offices—
Professor Allen Says Work Is
Satisfactory.
Much interest was shown by the
students of the University in the
' election Tuesday. Practically all stu
% dents of voting age took advantage
of the opportunity to vote, and most
of these voted early to avoid the rush
later in the day.
A number of the more industrious
seized the opportunity to increase
their assets, and worked at the polls
as clerks, judges, or deputies. Those
who were not working, put in an early
appearance that evening on the street
by the Register and Guard offices, to
catch the fPst returns that were an
nounced from either office.
Rut while the rest of the students
were using the evening to suit them
selves, the men and a few of the wo
men of the journalism classes worked
all night on election returns for the
local newspapers. Half of the stu
dents from the classes in journalism
had been assigned to each local news
paper. the men in the advanced class
es and the women to office and sup
ervision work, and the men in first
year journalism, to take returns from
the precincts at each hour of the
night. Each man had one and some
two or even three precincts to cover.
A few of them had to tramp back and
forth in the rain to carry the returns
to the office. Those in the office tab
ulated the returns as they came to
the office, and kept them added, that
the totals might be used at any time.
Karl Onthank had charge of the
precinct work for the Register, mak
ing the rounds of the precincts in an
auto every hour, bringing the incom
plete returns to the office.
Franklin Allen sent in returns from
Springfield. Harold Young, Robert
Fariss, Leland Hendricks, and Harry
Cash held forth in the Register of
fice.
The co-eds who braved the terrors
of the night work, sacrificing sleep
that they might learn how the elec
tion work was handled in a newspaper
office, were also assigned to tabulat
ing and keeping totals. These were
Edna McKnight, Nellie Hemenway,
Ethel Tooze, and Lora Taylor.
Those who worked for the Register
at the precincts were Carlyle Geisler.
Don Rice, Max Sommer, Clarence
Brotherton, Roger Moe, Jessup
Strang, Waldo Miller, Bert Jerard,
Mundel Weiss, Charles Galloway, and
Walter Kimmel. On the Guard were
Thad Wentworth, Donald Onthank,
Earl Blackaby, Tommy Boylen, Albert
Crawffiord, Victor Burris, Harry Crain.
Raymond Williams, Tom Donaca, and
Clarence Ash.
The students who worked for the
Guard were released at 12:30, but
those on the Register were not freed
until 3:30. The editors of both papers
commended the work of the students
and admitted they had been a great
help.
At the 1 o’clock journalism class on
Wednesday, Professor Allen said: “I
was very much pleased with the work
of the students last night, and the in
terest showm. They carried on the
work in ‘great style.’ ”
WALTER McCLURE BREAKS
CROSS COUNTRY RECORD
Since Walter R. McClure, distance
runner and record breaker, has re
turned from his little trip across the
Atlantic to Sweden, the various side
issues involved, such as a week in
New Y’ork, his friends at the Uni
versity of Oregon in this Western
country seem unbearably slow. After
three weeks of arduous efforts to pull
along a handful of wheezing, lagging,
cross-country men around the ceme
tery course, he has finally given up
and bought himself a healthy looking
Ingersol watch, and setting this to
run fast, thus finding a running
mate. He tried his new companion
for the first time Monday night, and
it sure did earn its money. After
toying with his old friends halfway
around the course, he thoughtfully
wiped the rain out of the face of Mr.
Ingersoll and set off by himself. The
result was that he broke the record
for the course made by himself when
a Freshman. He came in in thirteen
minutes and a half.
As usual, “Mac” is modest
about it and says that he did not
mean to break a record, but that his
foot, slipped and he just couldn’t help
it. But he didn’t run fast, though.
He wouldn’t do that out of justice to
those who were running with him, or
rather those who started with him.
SENIORS OUT OF 0E8T
Oregana Leaves Surplus of $147.41—
Earnest Lamb Heads Play
Committee.
The Senior class repealed their one
dollar tax levy at their class meet
ing- Wednesday, and all tax money
that has been paid into the treasury
will be returned to those holding re
ceipts. The Seniors found their tax
unnecessary because of the remark
able financial success of the Oregana.
Manager Andrew Collier was unable
at the time to give a detailed report
of receipts and expenditures, but had
at hand the final figures, which he
submitted to the class. The total cost
of the Oregana was $2,855, and the
total receipts were $3,002.41, leaving
a surplus of $147.41, $68.40 in cash,
and $79.01 in the form of good bills,
which was turned over to the class.
The class was $75 in debt, so the final
amount to be given to the treasurer
will be $72.41.
The expenditures for the 1913 Ore
gana were $400 in excess of those for
the previous issue.
Earnest Lamb was elected manager
of the Senior Class Play, and the
committee, consisting of Earnest
Lamb, chairman, Harold Warner, Le
nore Hansen, Elizabeth Lewis, and
Nellie Hemenway, that had been dele
gated to choose the play, was empow
ered to proceed with the choosing of
the casts.

WASHINGTON CHOOSES SINGLE
TAX 1 OR DERATE QUESTION
The single tax problem is that
which the University of Washington
would have as the question for the
Tri-state Debating League this year.
Their proposal is the last to be sub
mitted, for both Oregon and Stan
ford University have already offered
their choices, the latter submitting
the problem of the absolute interna
tional arbitration, the former that of
immigration. The three colleges will
now independently select their first,
second and third choice, and from
these the more desirable will be used
for the annual debate.
The question that is selected, Ore
gon will submit to the University of
Idaho for the dual debate between
'daho and Oregon.
Extension Clubs Organized
Dr. George Rebec, head of the Uni
versity Extension Department, reports
the organization of Extension Clubs
at Hood River, Astoria and The
Dalles. Dr. Rebec lectured at the
local teachers’ institute while at Hood
River. He is now at Astoria, meeting
with a teachers’ institute there, and
will not return to Eugene before the
end of the week.
Princeton has missed only three
tries for goals from touchdown this
fall. The number kicked is thirty.
COACH LEAVES KINCAID
Dryer Grounds Deemed Necessary—
Squad Dwindles and Bailey Buys
New Pants.
Last night Coach Pinkham found it
impossible to teach the varsity squad
the science of football on a field more
adapted to equatic sports than the
great college game. So old Kincaid
Field was deserted for the better
drained baseball diamond.
The squad has dwindled down to
less than two teams on the last few
afternoons of practice, probably due
to the inclemency of the weather, and
has forced the veteran varsity men
and assistant coaches, Gordon Moorcf
and Bill Main, to join the scrubs in
order to form a quorum with which
to give the varsity scrimmage.
The squad has also lost Bradshaw
Parsons, and Bigbee by the “Post’
route, but it is expected that they
will be able to turn out before the
week is over. Cook and Hall have
not been allowed in the scrimmage
this week because of slight injuries.
Heusner has been playing full, and
Anunsen has Hall’s place at end.
Professor John Straub, Mrs.
Straub, C;irin Degeimark, May Smith,
Helen Werlein, and Mildred Lawrence
were dinner guests at the Zeta Phi
house, Sunday.

SLOW COUNT OF STATE
VOTE LEAVES FATE OF
MILLAGE IN BALANCE
LANE COUNTY LEAD OF 2,000
LOST BY RURAL NEGA
TIVE BALLOTS
PRESIDENT CAMPBELL STILL HOPEFUL
Portland Returns Uncertain Till Fri
day. Oregon Alumni Place
in Elections
Owing- to the exceedingly slow and
scattering count of Tuesday’s vote
and the tardiness with which it is
being reported from the precincts, no
reliable information can be had at
I present concerning the fate of the
Millage Bill. Returns from Portland
this afternoon state that 157 precincts
out of Id.! in Multnomah county, have
reported a vote of 11,604 for and
11,416 against, thus giving a slight
majority for the bill. An incomplete
Hint, of the Lane county vote gives
a lead of nearly 2,000 for the meas
ure, yet the returns from other coun
ties in the valley show a negative
vote. Benton, Linn, Clackamas, Jo
sephine. Douglas, LT-natilla and Union
counties have reported majorities
against the tax, langing from nearly
1,500 in Clackamas to a slight oppo
sition in the last named district.
Few Counties Favorable
Favorable votes have been reported
from Hood Rver, Clatsop, Jackson and
Yamhill counties, the last two ma
jorities nearing the 500 mark. This
does not counterbalance, however, the
negative vote throughout the state,
so far as has already been reported.
Unless the Multnomah and Port
land vote gives an increasing major
ity for the measure, and unless some
other counties show more favorable
returns than have been evidenced, the
bill will, according to the opinions of
! the local newspaper editors, be de
featcd. Nothing hut substantial gains
in outlying districts can savle tlhe
measure, especially if Portland does
not support the bill more strongly
than the present figures indicate.
“I am not confident at all,” said Re
gent Sam Friendly this afternoon,
“but Dixon is,” he continhed, refer
ring to Regent A. C. Dixon, of this
city. Charles Fisher, editor of the
Cuard and also a Regent of the Uni
versity, thought “that unless Port
land gives a bigger favorable vote
than is indicated from dispatches, and
unless we are surprised more often
by the vote of some county like Yam
; hill, it is going against us.”
President Campbell Confident
However, President Campbell is not
discouraged with the outlook, and ac
cording to his figures, which corres
pond to the results obtained so far,
the bill will eventually carry.
Northwest editor of the Portland
Telegram, Frank E. Toeves, told the
Emerald last evening that there was
no chance to get definite figures in
regard to the Portland vote until Fri
day morning, so slow was the vote
coming in. The great difficulty has
been in incomplete and meagre re
turns that have been sent in, making
: it impossible to get accurate fore
casts of the vote.
Several members of the University
| alumni figured in the returns of the
election. John Latourette, ’07, was
elected as a representative from Mult
nomah, as was Pat McArthur, “Fa
ther of Athletics” at the University.
Roscoe Bryson, ’80, quarterback on
the only Oregon football team that
ever defeated the Unversity of Cal
