A matinee dance in the Men’s Gym
nasium Saturday afternoon from
three to five is to be a feature of the
program in honor of the Oregon
Agricultural College Club, preceeding
the concert at the Christian Church
the same night. Both the O. A. C.
and the University Glee Clubs have
consented to sing a number or two at
the dance, which will afford the first
opportunity of meeting the Corvallis
warblers, and will also' prove a draw
ing card for the hop and the concert
later, as only those who have tickets,,
or buying them at the door, to the !
evening performance will be admitted.
This is not strictly limited to stu
dents,—alumni and friends are in
vited.
It is also announced that no one
will be admitted to the gymnasium
balcony free of charge. Only those i
entitled to dancing privileges will be
allowed as spectators.
Last year the singers from Corval
lis gave a concert in Eugene. Two
weeks ago when the University Glee
Club appeared at the Agricultural

College, they were well received.—a
large crowd attended the concert and
a banquet was given the visitors af
terward. The desire to return the
compliment and to show the 0. A. C.
representatives a good tim.e is the ob
ject of the dance. The demand for
seats at the Linn Drug Company,
where they are on sale, yesterday in
dicated a strong interest in the con
cert on the part of the residents of
Eugene. Fifty and seventy-five cents
are the prices named.
A feature of the program that no
music lover can afford to miss, is the
club quartette, composed of Messrs.
Canfield, Johnson, Thomas, and Jor
dan, which appears in numbers
such as “My Rosary” and “Love’s
Old Sweet Song,”—these are well
rendered. Harry Russell, popularly
known as “Harry Lauder,” appears in
Scotch songs and monologues. His
“Roamin’ in the Gloamin’,” “The
Wedding of Sandy McXab.” and
other selections, are.as popular as
those he rendered last season

Sigma Xu Men Slip One Over on
Dame Spring and Wave Relics
of Summer.
It was a nice, bright and sunny day,
was the first day of February, 1913.
In fact, it was so much like a spring
afternoon, that Sunday, that one was
tempted to lay aside their winter tog
gery, and listen to the birds sing in
the budding tree tops.
So felt several members of the
Sigma Nu fraternity anyway. And
although straw lids are not supposed
to be worn until the first of May,
there are exception to all rules. How
ever, the temptation to doff their
derbys and other specie of caranium
coverings is a great one, and the at
tics and closets must be searched for
the yellow hued straws that are the
object of the poet’s and cartoonist’s
annual raillery.
Vernon Vawter, the well known
Glee Club comedian, and Ben Chand
ler, who cavorts in the outer pastures
luring baseball time, rushed the sea
son last Sunday. They appeared
topped with some of last year’s relics,
and spent a part of the afternoon be
coming accustomed to the “feel” of
the first, straw hats of the year
1913.
JOURNALISTIC STUDENTS DID
GOOD WORK, SAYS JENKINS
Last Sunday’s issue of the Eugene
Morning Register, which was put out
bv the students of the Journalism
department, was better than the or
dinary Sunday issue according to the
editor, Frank Jenkins.
The mail edition went to press in
plenty of time for the early trains
with but little confusion, in spite of
the fact that there were so many stu
dents working in the office who had
had no experience in the office work.
The only regular office men who
were really on the job for the night
were those in the press room. These
men expressed themselves as sur
prised with the manner in which the
material came into them and de
lighted with the make-up of the
paper.
Professor Allen expressed himself
as being well pleased with the work
of the students in this, which served
as an examination after four months
training.
TELLS HQW10 BE CARTOONIST
PRACTICAL ADVICE APPLIES NOT ONLY TO THEIR PROFESSION,
BUT TO ALL WALKS OF LIFE—CONSENTS TO
DRAW CARTOONS FOR
EMERALD
(By «J. E. Murphy, Cartoonist of the
Oregon Daily Journal.)
Ambitious youngsters aspiring to
become cartoonists, as a rule, invar
iably put the cart before the horse.
In every case the beginner wastes
hours, days, and even months of pre
cious time dickering on the proper
drawing instruments and materials
most advisable for his work; making
certain that he gets the same kind of
pens, pencils, erasers, paper, etc., as
those he noticed were used by some
professional newspaper cartoonist,
whom the beginner had recently vis
ited in order to secure advise and in
formation concerning the expediency
of his taking up cartooning as a pro
fession and as the means of a liveli
hood; and again the novice pays too
much attention to thinking up ideas,
executing large “professional look
ing’’ cai toons, and dreaming of sell
ing his work to leading publisher
without paying the slightest regard
to the absolute necessity of first mas
tering the fundamental principles of
every finished cartoonist—in other
words, learning how to draw.
Cartoonists are continually con
fronted with the expression: “It must
be great to be a cartoonist, funny
pictures are so easy to draw!” The
expression is erroneous and results
from the inexperience of some peo
ple concerning the subject. In most
cases, clever caricaturists are fin
ished artists; men equally capable of
executing skillful illustrations and
designs as well as presenting the
most ridiculous of exaggerations. To
be an able caricaturist one must
know the anatomy and the form of
the human figure. Once endowed
with this ability, a man, inclined to
caricature, can make his work the
acme of grotesqueness, of extreme
simplicity in design still more difficult
to execute, and work that could be
imitated only by artists of equal fa
cility. Although a thorough art
school training is beyond the means
of many young people, this condition
has proved to be no handicap to
those who are really ambitious.
Many, possibly the majority, of car
toonists are self taught, having been
; unable to take advantage of the lux
uries of class study under the guid
ance of master artists.
After all practical experience is a
good teacher, and perhaps as profit
able in the long run. The young man
intending to follow cartooning could
make use of his time while studying
cartoons by securing a position in
some other department of a newspa
per than the art room, and learn the
game from the ground up. Again one
may enter art rooms as an apprentice,
without salary, figuring that study
rig the methods and receiving critic
isms from the practical artists is a
most thorough schooling.
The student should impress upon
himself the extreme necessity of see
ing things as they really are, and to
he true to life in all cases. Cartoons,
true to life, never go amiss, and be
cause of the reader understanding
the subject, such cartoons are always
effective and refreshing, and, if prop
erly carried out, are sure to make a
hit. Daily association with nature—
the trees, lakes, rivers, streams, the
landscapes, etc., is one of the most
valuable suggestions that could be
offered; on the crowded street note
the mass of humanity, going to and
fro, the peculiarities of the various
classes, the apparently well-to-do and
the less fortunate, memormng the
characters, faces, figures, action, etc.
The same rule applies to everything
in one’s daily life, and by working
along these lines, one is laying the
foundation of a successful career,
the value of which will be more and
more appreciated as time passes.
The next step is to overcome dis
couragements and obstacles that are
blocking the paths. Many times it is
MICKEY HAS DOUBTS CONCERNING
PSYCHOLOGICAL DETECTIVE SYSTEMS
Read About Professor Conklin's Ex
periments in Paper; Subjects Dorm
Men to Cross-Examination.
Did you read about the Muenster
berg theory of reaction time as ap
plied to the art of detecting criminals
in the Sunday paper? Well, that the
feat of mental acrobatics has been ap
plied recently to about thirty inno
cent men on the University campus.
The Dormitory has recently lost
one of its music rolls that propels the
mechanical music instrument through
the mazes of “Everybody’s Doin’ It.”
No one seemed to regret the loss, and
no efforts were made to apprehend
the purloiner of the classic, until one
Freshman arose in his righteous
wrath and set out in pursuit of the
thief via the Muensterberg route,
which goes something like this:
The suspected party is given sev
eral words, and asked to respond with
the idea that is suggested by the re
action word. The time that it takes
to answer is noted as the reaction
time, and the suspect that has the
longest average time of reaction, is
the guilty party.
Martel Mickey, from Junction City
got out a string of words that ended
with the word guilty and subjected
each member of the Dorm Club to the
same rigorous examination. Mickey
used a Big Ben alarm clock to aid
him in estimating the period of reac
tion.
The music roll has not been found.
An X-ray examination of Captain
Johnson of Alma college showed that
he had played the entire second half
of a recent football game against De
troit with a broken neck.

most difficult to secure a first posi
tion, but as a rule, if a man has the
ability and can deliver the goods, he
is not long looking for a place. There
is no nobler art than that of the car
toonist, if he be of the right stuff,”
his motto should be, “with malice to
none, charity to all,” but he must be
true to himself and his profession,
though the truth sometimes stings.

Expected in Week.
Eight football coaches have to date
filed application for appointment to
the leadership of Oregon’s 1913 squad,
according to Manager Geary’s list re
ported to the Athletic Council Satur
day. As Geary is in communication
with several other prospective can
didates who have not as yet filed
formal applications, it is expected
that the selection committee will have
a list of some twelve or fifteen can
didates, when a selection is made.
The list is headed by Samuel L.
Moyer, who has coached the Aberdeen
and Spokane High Schools for several
seasons, with remarkable success.
Previous to coming west he coached
the team of Franklin and Marshall
College, of which he is a graduate.
Frank Van Doren, M. 1)., graduate
of the University of Pittsburg, and
of the School of Osteopathy, at
Kirksville, Mo., has played or coached
every season since 1898. Last year
he was assistant coach at the Pitts
burg institution.

Eugene High’s team last season, re
ceived his initial training from
Sievers.
Joseph Gottstein, who played four
yeais at Exeter College and Brown
University, offers to undertake the
responsibility of schooling the squad,
his prime motive being love of the
game. Gottstein is now engaged in
mercantile pursuits in Portland.
I. W. Hammond, an old Oregon
wearer of the “O,” and player on the
West Point team for three years, is
now in the army, but would secure
three months leave of absence during
the football season. He has trained
academic teams in New York several
years.
The Middle West is represented by
Leonard Frank, who coached the Uni
versity of Kansas team last year.
Thomas I.. Shevlin, Yale’s coach,
highly recommends Tad Jones, of last
year’s team, who has applied for the
Oregon coachship.
