Y. M. INVESTIGATIONS SHOW
53 PER CENT OF MEN

FRUTERNITYMEN NO EXCEPTION
Prc.fs. Give Influence of Y. M. C. A.
as Cause for Democratic
Conditions.
Investigations conducted by Charles
W. Koyl, secretary of the Y. M. C.
A., and Karl Martzloff, head of the
Y. M. C. A. social service committee,
have proved that 53 per cent of all
men in attendance at the University
are either wholly or in part self-sup
porting. Of these men, about one
third were found to live in fraterni
ties. The figures are. 54 in fraterni
ties, and 111 in the dormitory and in
town.
These results will compare favor
ably with any college or university in
the country. The larger part of the
53 per cent of students are almost
wholly self-supporting. This is espe
cially true of the students outside
fraternities, although exact statistics
were not available on this point. A
surprisingly large number of men are
working at odd jobs while attending
school, in addition to those working
for their board or rooms. It is in
this connection that the Y. M. C. A.
is interested, and a flourishing em
ployment agency is maintained for
the students’ aid.
A canvass of the various fraterni
ties in the University brought out the
following figures in regard to the
number of students entirely or partly
self-supporting:
Entirely. Partly.
Beta Theta Pi. 3 3
Kappa Sigma . 3 0
Alpha Tau Omega. 3 6
Sigma Nu . 3 3
Zeta Phi . 5 * 2
Phi Gamma Delta. 3 4
Phi Delta Theta. ... 2 5
Sigma Chi . 3 4
Avava . 2 0

The report of the Y. M. C. A. Em
ployment Bureau shows that during
November alone a total cash return of
$311.55 was secured for the students,
benefiting 37 men. Of this amount,
$238 was for regular jobs given to six

GLEE CLUB REGOGMIZED
Women's Glee Allowed Temporary
Status as Student Body
Enterprise.
To place the Girls’ Glee Club on an
an equal footing with any other var
sity enterprise by making it a reg
ular Student Body activity, is the
purpose seen in an action of the Exe
cutive Council meeting held Satur
day.
A motion was carried, “that the
Girls’ Glee Club be granted the tem
porary status of a regular branch of
Student Body activities, to be gov
erned by the rules now governing the
University of Oregon Glee Club, this
status to continue until the 21st of
March.”
The latter clause indicates that a
motion will be introduced at the reg
ular Student Body meeting March
21. to make the Girls’ Club a perma
nent Student Body7 enterprise. This
means that the Co-eds would be
backed up by that organization in
their future efforts.

December Number.
“Look out Maybelle, a ‘Deady Bug’

new name for the joke department.”
The magazine will be out the end
of the week, and will contain “The

one by Fen Waite on Golf, and one
by Faye Ball on the purpose and
progress of the Agora Club. Thorn
ton Howard will furnish the cartoons,
and a picture of the football squad
will be reproduced.
Heretofore th lack of funds has
been a serious drawback, but the
management hopes to overcome this
evil and get out a regular periodical.
OREGON CLUB AND ZETA
PHI LEAD IN HAND BALL
Officials Endeavor to Revive Lagging
Interest—Class Games to
Start Soon.
Interest in the inter-fraternity
handball tournament seems to be
dragging, Only two games having
been played during the last several
days. Austin Brownell and Harold
Quigley, representing Zeta Phi, de
feated Henry Fowler and Watson, the
Sigma Chi team, by 21 to 10 and 21
to 12 scores. Zeta Phi also won from
the Sigma Nu team of Edward Geary
and Everett Stuller in 21 to 3 and 21
to 7 games. The game scheduled for
Monday, between the Dormitory and
Phi Delta Theta, was indefinitely
postponed, as the Phi Delta Theta
team failed to appear.
The League officials are making an
effort to have the teams follow the
regular schedule, as it is desired to

LEONE GASS BAER 10
SPEAK TO NEWS GLASS
“Women in Newspapers,” is Subject
Announced—Miss Baer One of
First Women Jurors.
Miss Leone Cass Baer will address
the Journalism class next Wednesday
afternoon. The subject of her talk
will be “Women in Newspapers.”
Miss Baer fyas the distinction of
being one of the twelve women jurors
who made up the first jury composed
entirely of women ever impaneled in
Oregon. This jury sat on a case tried
in Portland December 4, and the ex
perience has been graphically des
cribed by Miss Baer in the Oregon
ian.
Leone Cass Baer is one of the fore
most women now' in tne profession of
journalism work. For some time she
has been dramatic critic and dram
atic editor of the Oregonian. During
thre conference of newspaper men held
at the University a few weeks ago,
Col. Hofer, of Salem, said that he
ranked her among the foremost jour
nalists on the Pacific Coast.
During her stay in Eugene, Miss
Baer will be entertained at the Chi
Omega and the Mary Spiller houses.
She w’ill return to Portland Wednes
day evening, making the trip in the
private car of Valeska Suratt, the
leading lady of the “Kiss Waltz,” who
passes through Eugene en route to
Portland from San Francisco.
EMERALD'S SUBSCRIPTION LISI RECORD
BREAKER WITH RE4 PAID SUBSCRIRERS
SHOWS INCREASE OF 50 PER CENT OVER PREVIOUS RECORDS,
and is of cosmopolitan COMPOSITION — more alumni
SUBSCRIBERS THAN STUDENTS. BUT CAMPUS CIRCU
LATION ALSO LARGER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS
The Emerald, like a youngster at
the time he steps into his first long
trousers, has been taking long strides
in growth during the past year. A
six column paper, publishing each
week over 650 inches of news, appear
ing three times a week, it now ranks
among the foremost college newspa
pers of the Pacific Northwest. The
report of the circulation manager,
given out today and printed below, is
likewise characteristic of the paper’s
growth. Today the Emerald has 50
per cent more paid subscribers than
at any previous year of its publica
tion.
The Emerald’s total circulation is
1146. This number is divided as fol
lows:
Subscribers, mailed .614
i Campus student subscribers.314
! City subscribers .143
Exchanges . 75
These figures are interesting in that
they show what a comparatively
small part of the circulation goes to
the students, and how large a number
goes to members of the Alumni. The
Emerald by these figures is actually
read more by the alumni than by stu
dents. This is in spite of the fact
that the paper is primarily a newspa
per of the students.
The campus student subscribers
numbers but 314. This is less than a
third of the total. Those listed as
"city subscribers,” represent advertis
ers, alumni, and a few students living
too far away from the campus for
carrier delivery. The "subscribers
mailed,” numbering 814, represent al
most wholly papers going to the
alumni. The number does not neces
sarily show that the Alumni are more
loyal to the college paper than the
students, for the roll of the graduates
is larger. But it does show how great
an interest these, who leave the Uni
versity, are taking in their Alma
Mater. It also indicates that the Em
erald cannot be edited for but one
class of readers, but must be cosmo
politan enough to appeal to business
and professional men, and college pro
fessors, as well as students.
The number of subscribers upon the
campus, however, is fairly large in
comparison to previous years. The
figure 314 is 50 or 60 larger than it
has ever been before. It means that
one Emerald is distributed for every
two students.
INTEREST IN GOLF
Says He Will (Jive “Gym” Credits for
Consistent Play, and Offers Cup
for Tournament.
Resulting from the announcement
yesterday by “Bill” Hayward that
"gym” credits will be given for reg
ular and consistent golf playing, 20
men have signed up for “cow pasture
pool,” and the College Hill course
will soon be echoing with, “Fore! On
the green in two!”
Hayward has not only signified his
intention of helping the movement
along by giving “gym” credits, but has
come forward with the offer of a
handsome cup to the winner of a
handicap tournament, to be played
this winter. •
He says: “While I have not played
golf for several years, I am still in- i
terested in the sport and intend to
take up the game later myself. I will
give ‘gym’ credits to those who play
regularly and conscientiously, and
will arrange to have someone on the
links to check the cards. An hour of
outdoor exercise is of more benefit
than an hour’s work in the gym, and
I hope enough will play to make this
scheme a go.”
The course has recently been moved
and the weeds removed from the
putting greens, so that the links are
now in better condition than for sev
eral years. If enough students join
the Golf Club and pay their regular
fifty cents dues, it is planned to sand
the greens and buy new marking
flags.

PROFESSOR BARKER DIVIDES TIME
AMONG FOUR LECTURE HALLS
Crowded Conditions at University
Leave Little Room for Classes
in Geography.
With a small office in the basement
of McClure Hall, and classes in what
ever room happens to be vacant, Pro
fessor F. L. Barker’s life is a varied
one, anil furnishes an example of the
crowded condition necessitated at the
University.
Professor Barker, of the depart
ment of Geology and Geography, be
gins his day’s work at 8 o’clock in the
President’s office in Villard. His !)
o’clock class take him to room 21 in
Peady, his 10 o’clock class to the
basement of the Library, and his 11
o’clock class back to Villard in room
three.
In the afternoon he is allowed to
spend two consecutive hours in Presi
dent Campbell’s office.
Not only must he rush from one
room to another in order to meet his
classes, but he must also transfer the
books and apparatus necessary in
conducting his classes.
M PIMRS FAVOR

Spencer Says, Plan Will Increase
Interest Shown in Women’s
Activities.
Fifteen girls, picked at random,
were interviewed for their opinion,
yesterday afternoon, in regard to al
lowing all college students admittance
to the women’s basketball games and
athletic contests.
Nine girls unanimously favored the
games being open, four favored the
issuance of invitations,—to allow the
girls of the teams to invite whoever
they wished,—and only two were op
posed to the plan.
“The hardest thing about it,” said
one girl, “is the breaking down of an
established custom. Hitherto games
have been played before girls only,
and now they seem sensitive in open

WORKING STUDENTS
BALK ON GUI RULE
Petition Circulated by Ben Dorris
Asks Modification of New
Faculty Edict.
Student sentiment against the re
cent Faculty ruling in regard to the
penalty imposed for cuts, took shape
last evening, when a number of stu
dents signed a petition circulated by
Ben F Dorris, Jr., ’15, asking for a
reconsideration of the measure.
'this remonstrance, which contained
nearly forty names at a late hour- last
night, is confined to those students
who are either partially or wholly
self-supporting, and who declare that
their outside work makes necessary
“cutting” at certain times. The abol
ition of the ruling is not asked,
merely the modification of It as it ef
fects those who are working outside
of college hours.
Immediately upon the heels of this
petition, a movement was started to
circulate a general remonstrance to
be signed by all the students, to be
presented to the Faculty for their
consideration. Those who signed the
first, were generally willing to take
tne initiative in a more general ob
jection to the recent action. The sec
ond petition will probably be circul
ated this week.
In the meantime additional names
will be secured on the first petition
in an endeavor to get it in shape for
presentation to the Faculty at their
next meeting.

Upperclass Contest Bloodthirsty —
Eight Seniors Play in Final
Ten Minutes.
Yesterday afternoon the Sopho
mores defeated the Freshmen and the
Juniors defeated the Seniors in the
first games of the inter-class series,
'■'lie games were fast and hard fought
and featured by the rooting of the
Junior and Senior classes.
The Sophomores succeeded in roll
ing up a score of 28 to 14 for the
Freshmen. Although the Freshmen
were game fighters, they were no
match for the experienced second
year men and showed their lack of
experience in the new rules.
The team work of the Sophomores
was the best that was displayed by
any of the classes yesterday. They
have a well balanced team and will
give the Juniors, who won the cham
pionship last year, a good contest for
first honors.
The Juniors beat the Seniors by an
18 to 4 score. The game was rough
and many fouls were called. During
the last few minutes of play, the
bloodthirsty Seniors had as many as
eight men on the floor at the same
time. But even this number was not
able to stop the scoring of the win
ning team. The basket throwing of
Benson and the guarding of Bried
well was prominent.
