Y.M.G.Jt.HAS DEFINITE PURPOSE, SAYS CUSH Association Stands for the Well Rounded Man Who Will Lead in Community. By Burleigh Cash. President Y. M. C. A. The University Y. M. C. A. is on the campus for a definite purpose. That purpose is to give to the stu dents at Oregon a pure, wholesome Christian influence, that will help them to live broader and more effi cient lives. It has been a powerful factor in making for the best life of the University and for this reason has a place on the campus. The Association stands for leader ship; leadership which means better things for the students, for the Uni versity, and for the State at large. The Y. M. C. A. work developes the all round man who is to take the lead in the community in which he lives. It serves the students in a way no other institution can. It takes out of the hands of the University admin istration work which it does not have time nor means to do. Such work as is done through the Employment Bureau, Book Exchange, and General Information Department, to say noth ing of the greater work of Christian Service in the Bible Classes, Social Service series, weekly lectures and special addresses, give the Associa tion a distinct place on the campus. In a State University, supported by all the people, the only religious influence to be had must come through a non-denominational insti tution. Such an institution is the Young Men’s Christian Association at Oregon. It is doing the work for the students that the Church cannot do, and because of its practical, as well as religious, interests, deserves a place on the campus, and the hearty support of every loyal Oregon stu dent. FRESHMEN SHUN TRACK Only Few of 1916 Class Train in Preparation for Cinderpath Athletics. By Walter McClure. Track Captain, 1913. With the track training only a few weeks away, the possibilities of “slipping one over” on the other Northwest colleges seems slimmer than it has been for a number of years past. A few of the old men are back and so far not a great many ambitious or speedy Freshmen have applied for glory via the cinder path. At present the dope seems to sum up this way: 100 yard dash—Kay, Briedwell, Hawley, and Cook. 220 yard dash—Barbour, Oberteuf fer, Hawley, and Boylen. 440 yard dash—Windnagle, McCon nel, Oberteuffer, and Brooks. 880 yard dash—Windnagle, McCon nel, and McClure. Mile run—Huggins, Windnagle, Me Clure, and Pack. Two mile—Huggins, Allen, Pack, McClure, Holt, and Onthank. High hurdles—Fee, McConnel. Low hurdles—Fee. Broad jump—Parsons, Stuller, Brooks, and Kay. Shot put—Foster, Grout, Cook, Hol den. 191 UNIVERSITY MEN ARE IN BIBLE GLASSES Oregon Leads Seven States in Per Cent of Students in Study Classes. According to statistics gathered by Clayton S. Cooper, International Bi ble Study chairman, shows that the University of Oregon has proportion ally more men engaged in Bible Study than any other institution in any of the seven western states. The enrollment in study classes reached a total of one hundred and ninety-one men, which includes the study classes in the following fra ternities and clubs that have been running for the past two and a half months: Beta Theta Pi. Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Dormitory, and Alpha Tau Omega. The leaders that have been in charge of this work are Professor E. S. Conklin, Dr. Wil liam Taylor, Rev. William Parsons, and Mr. J. H. Irish. In addition to the above classes, there have been classes in the vari ous Sunday Schools in the city. These classes and their leaders are, Methodist, Professor A. R. Sweetser; Congregationalist, Mr. M. H. Doug GENERAL SECRETARY, UNIVER SITY Y. M. C. A. Charles W. Koyl. lass, University Librarian; Presby terian, Mr. David Glass; Baptist, Pro fessor C. W. Converse. This makes a total of nine classes with an en rollment of one hundred and ninety one of the three hundred and twenty five University men. Of the total en rollment. the average number attend ing Bible study has been fifty-six per cent of the men attending the Univer sity. “The best way to protect yourself is to construct.”—-William Hanley. Discus—Foster, Neill, Heidenreich. Javelin—Foster, Neill, Fee, Street. Hammer—Foster, Neill, and Bailey. Pole vault—Miller, Watson, and Brooks. This will be the track nucleus for the 1913 track squad. To bolster up the weak spots and make a well rounded team, is Bill Hayward’s prob lem. With a craft and wizardry de veloped through many years of ath letic activity, Oregon’s trainer will not be found wanting. Oregon’s chances to grab the Northwest track bunting for 1913 are doubtful. Whitman is the strong challenger this year, and I believe that if the lemon yellow comes out on top, it will be because we can down the Sons of Marcus. Y. M. BUDGET IS $2200 Association Also Owns Property Worth $3,000—Expense Growth Rapid. The Y. M. C. A. has its material side as well as its spiritual side. It is now an incorporated body, holding property valued at $3,000. with an annual budget this year of $2,200. This budget represents a direct out lay, in the form of service to the stu dents. The following is the budget for the year 1913-14: UNIVERSITY Y. M. C. A. Estimated Expenditures. Deficit to January 1, 1913....$ 150.00 General Secretary’s salary.... 1,000.00 Conference Expenses of Sec retary . 75.00 State Pledge . 20.00 Internat. Committee Pledge.. 15.00 Student Conference Fund. 60.00 Oregana Cuts . 5.00 Officers’ Conference, two de legates . 15.00 Office Expenses . 60.00 Missions—General Expenses, $10.00; Mr. Vories in Ja pan, $20.00, and Mr. Davie, $5.00 . 35.00 Social Service Work. 10.00 Bible Study Department. 15.00 Publicity Work . 25.00 Religious Meetings, Weekly.. 100.00 Social Department Work. 75.00 Membership Committee Work 10.00 Finances . 20.00 Extension Work . 10.00 Employment Bureau . 5.00 Special Speakers, Special Meetings . 50.00 Handbook . 125.00 Miscellaneous Expenses. 50.00 Deficit from Last Year, in accounts . 160.00 Deficit on Lot Fund. 120.00 Total Estimated Expenses..$2,200.00 These expenses are met by an an nual campaign among the business men of Eugene, subscriptions from parents of students and friends of the University in the State, student and alumni subscriptions, membership dues, and other minor sources. As an illustration of the growth of the Y. M. C. A., the fact can be cited that in 1906 the budget was only $200, with an unpaid student secre tary. The growth of the budget from a couple of hundred dollars in 1906 to $2,200 in 1913, or six years later, is an index to the spread of the Asso ciation’s activities in that time. The management of the Junior Prom at the University of North Dakota has tabooed the luxuries of flowers and cabs and chartered street cars for the use of the students.” This act was occasioned by the gen eral attitude of faculty and students that the expenses of such occasions ought to be reduced.
