PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20- 1913. Vol. XIV; No. 58 REBEC SHOWS GROWTH OF EXTENSION WOO EMPLOYEES OF PORTLAND RAIL WAYS TAKE COURSES IN UNIVERSITY WORK. LECTURES ARE IMPORTANT Five Oregon Professors Make Dates to Speak Before Portland Organizations. Dr. George Rebec, extension lec turer and organizer, was at the Uni versity Sunday and Monday, and out lined the growth of the work through out the State. The extension is rap idly gaining favor and encouragement. The Harriman and Hill lines in Ore gon have both offered free transpor tation for the University instructors in Extension, and any members of the Faculty engaged in the same work. For some time there have been three extension classes among the employees, both official and clerical, of the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company. Friday of last week three classes were started among the employees of the Harriman lines; and yesterday classes were organized for the employees of the Hill lines. The Hill Company gave all the men one half hour from working hours to hear Dr. Rebec explain the work. English was the favorite subject of the classes in the last two companies. Preliminary steps have also been taken for the organization of several private groups among the young busi ness men of Portland. Dr. Schafer in Portland. Individual lecture courses are play ing an important part in the extension work. Dr. Joseph Schafer, of the his tory department, is just concluding a series of lectures on Northwest his tory before the Irvington Club of Portland, and before a group of ex tension students in Salem. On Satur day of this week Dr. Schafer will be gin the same series of lectures before the Portland Heights Club of Port land. His success in the first in stance led to the continuance of his work in another field. Last Friday Dr. E. S. Conklin, in structor in psychology, started a cou' se of lectures before the Portland Y. M. C. A., on Mental Hygiene. He also addresses the business men at noon on Saturday. Dr. Conklin will lecture there tomorrow and Saturday, and for a few weeks following. Reddie to Give Readings. Professor A. F. Reddie, of the pub lic speaking department, is to give a reading of the “Tale of Two Cities,’’ at St. Helens, Ore., tomorrow evening. He will give the same reading before the Portland Y. M. C. A. on Satur day evening. Professor Reddie will give other readings at the Portland Y. M. C. A. at future dates. The plan of the Y. M. C. A. is to have these read continued on last page.) TRIPLE-"#" GIRLS WILL ASCEND SKINNER'S BUTTE, RAIN OR SHINE , Hike Will be Strictly Informal— Thirty Freshman Woman to Take Trip. Rain or shine, the Triple “A” So ciety of Freshmen girls will assemble in the East Park, corner of Eighth and Oak streets, next Saturday afternoon, at 1:30 o’clock, for their first moun j tain climbing expedition, or informal I hike. About twenty-five or thirty Fresh men are expected by President Bai ley to make this initial trip. The women will climb Skinner’s Butte, just north of the Southern Pacific de pot, ascending the hill by easy stages. The return will be made af ter a short rest on the summit. The committee in charge of this hike consists of Gladys Graybill, Georgia Kinsley, and Helen Robinson. It is the intention of the society to go on these short trips every week. All Freshmen women are invited. The rifle team of the University of West Virginia has defeated all the contenders for the championship in markmanship with the exception of the University of Iowa. M’GLURE TO ENTER IN PACIFIC CLUB MEET EXPENSES PAID BY OLYMPIC CLUB Inter-Class Cross Country Post poned to Allow Track Captain to Compete. Captain Walter McClure left Eu gene last night on the Shasta Lim ited, bound for San Francisco, where he will represent the University of Oregon, Saturday, in the annual in door meet of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Club, held under the auspices of the Olympic Club of that city. McClure had decided not to enter the meet until yesterday, when he re ceived a message from Peter Gear hart, urging him to be present to run against Vlught, of St. Mary’s College, who is announced as the probable winner of the 3,000 meter run. Mc Clure’s expenses on the southern trip are paid by the Olympic Club. The annual inter-class cross coun try run, which was scheduled for Sa turday, February 2£, will be post poned until the following Friday, be cause of McClure’s departure. It is the desire of Hayward to have Mc Clure and Windnagle run again over the three mile course. Although Windnagle succeeded in crossing the tape before McClure in the former race, it is doubted whether he will be able to repeat the feat in next Fri day’s race. The University of Michigan has won 28 debates out of 40, that have been held the last twenty years with the University of Chicago and North western University. SENIOR DANGERS WILL GET PARTNERS BT LOT. SPENCER AND PICKET TO ATTEND ORATORICALS A lottery dance in which partners are chosen by chance is an innovation to be given by the Senior class at the first available date within the next month. There is to be no worrying on the part of the women whether or not they will receive “bids”; there will be none of that embarrasing un certainty among the men as "Who is it safe to ask?” Everyone goes; and he takes whom he is told to take. Partners are drawn by lot. A com mittee has details in charge. At the meeting of the class held yesterday afternoon, Dave Pickett and Carlton Spencer were selected class representatives to the State Inter-collegiate Contest. These men are the only holders of medals from this annual contest, in college. Pickett won his medal last year, while Spencer won the state medal the year before. Howard Zimmerman will represent Oregon this year. President Bailey appointed as mem bers of the committee to select and arrange for the Senior memorial, | Karl Martzloff.

WILL CAUSE SHORTAGE OF $60 MORE IS BEST SEASON SINCE 1909 Club Made Good in Eastern Tour, Says Geary, But Fell Short in Eugene. The financial report of the Glee Club for the season 1912-13 as sub mitted by Manager Arthur M. Geary shows receipts to be $1,117.15 and ex penditures $1,133.41, making a deficit of $15.26. There is a disputed bill of about $15 which has not yet been set j tied and also the emblems for the | club members, amounting to about ! $60, which are yet to be settled. For the season of 1907-8 there was | a deficit of $478.36; 1908-9, a deficit I of $436.70; 1909-10, a surplus of I $177.63; 1910-11, a deficit of $254.04; 11911-12 a deficit of $234. Hence the : season just passed is the best one on record, in that no appropriation has i been received from the Student Body as in former years, with the excep tion of the 1909-10 season. The main item of expense outside of traveling was $400 salary for Director Bow man. Oregon is the only institution in the Northwest to pay a director for Glee Club work. Manager Geary states that the club came out ahead on the Eastern Ore (Continued on last page.) INFLUENCE OF 0RE60N GRADUATES IS.

The Oregon Grads have not only made good by securing seats in the two houses of the State Legislature as representatives of the people but are keeping up their records by taking active parts in a number of recent oratorical and parliamentary contests, which have arisen over various bills put before the Legislature at its present session. “Pat” McArthur, from Multnomah county and speaker of the House of Representatives, heads the list. “Pat’s” word in the House is consid ered as law.

CONTRACT SIGNED FOR CHORALCLUBCONCERT Theatre Grants Women Liberal Terms—Ogden Quiet as to Program. Manager Arthur M. Geary and Mel vin Ogden, for the Student Body and the Choral Club, and George H. Smith, for the Eugene Theatre, have affixed their signatures to a contract calling for the production of the Choral Club concert, March 14, in the Eugene Theatre. The terms granted by Manager Smith to the women’s organization were liberal, 75 per cent of the pro ceeds going to the club, while out of the theatre’s shart of 25 per cent, Manager Smith agrees to pay the ad vertising expenses and provide the or chestra. This should leave a con siderable margin for the Choral Club, for the seat prices have been fixed at 50c, 75c, and $1.00. The seat sale will open several days before the produc tion, and the management intends to use every possible means to push the sale. Director Melvin Ogden arrived in Eugene this noon on the Oregon Electric, and will remain in Eugene the remainder of this week. “No, I am not prepared to divulge any of the details of the program that the girls will put on,” he replied to a ques tion, “but I must say that they are doing dandy work, and deserve credit and praise for the manner in which they are taking hold of this long de ferred performance.” Several other new members will be added to the club membership, prob ably tomorrow or Saturday. Miss Florence Avery, president of the club, has been conducting the reahersals during the absence of Mr. Ogden. The javelin has been eliminated from the list of track events sanc tioned by the Missouri Valley Confer ence of Colleges. Eugene W. Chafin is scheduled for a series of lectures at the University of Wisconsin. ASSOCIATIONS PLAN JOINT CABINET PARTY Y. M. C. A. Emerald Breaks Prece dent by Not Losing Money This Year—Annual Election Planned. “The annual Y. M. C. A. cabinet party, which will be given March 5, will be a joint affair with the Y. W. C. A. cabinet,” said Secretary Chas. Koyl yesterday. “Last year the ex penses of this party were paid by the Association, but this year each mem ber of the cabinet will have to pay his own share of the expense.” The report of Alfred Collier shows that the recent edition of the Y. M. C. A. Emerald broke exactly even financially. Last year there was a defiieit of $40. The election of officers takes place next month, March I*. President Cash will appoint a nominating committee to name the officers of the Association for the ensuing year, beginning the last of March. March Iff, the report of the nominating committee will be given in the regular meeting of the Association, and on March 20, the an nual association election will be held. The annual association banquet and installation of new officers and an nouncement of department heads will be given at the City Y. M. C. A. building. Whitman College has received an endowment of $125,000 from the Rockefeller Organization of New York City, provided the institution raises $375,000 by June 30, 1014. Commit tees are already at work to secure the $375,000. Princeton University students will be apart of President-elect Woodrow Wilson’s escort on March 4th. There will be one thousand students taking 1 part in the parade. Gov. Wilson has ) approved of the plan. Drake Medical School will be1 merged at the end of this school year j with the State University of Iowa. HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS REQUEST INSTRUCTION IK NEWS WRITING Professor Allen Meets Pedagoges for First Time Last Evening—Editors Study by Mail. The journalism bug has invaded the Eugene High School, with the re sult that Professor E. W. Allen, pro fessor of journalism in the University, met several members of the faculty of that institution last evening in his office;—the first of a series of meet ings for the teaching of the general principles of news writing. The class was formed at the request j of those present at the first meeting, including Professor and Mrs. George Hug, Miss Norma Hendricks, Miss Susan Dinsmore, Miss Hattie Hyde, Mrs. Thurston, and Mr, Ray Fisher. The class will meet regularly here after, every Wednesday evening. It is probable that certain principles ex plained will be incorporated in the High School English course. At the present time there are four or five newspaper editors of the State enrolled in the journalism correspond I once department, studying by mail ; how to run their papers, while one | women in Eastern Oregon is taking a course in proof reading by mail.

TO TRAIN MAKERS Speaker Praises Quality of English Spoken in Oregon—Champions Eoual Suffrage. "No country in all the world ranks with your own Oregon in natural beauty; and there is yet no country more barbarous. Especially is this true in the great problem of the day, i in highway development,” said Sam uel Hill yesterday morning to the largest audience that has greeted an Assembly speaker this year. European Roads Are Model. And one hundred and fifty pictures flashed upon screen on Villard plat form proved his assertions to the satisfaction of his listeners. The splendid highways of England, France, and Germany, were shown in contrast with our own almost im passible roads, where it takes a horse to pull the same load that a dog will haul easily on European highways. There were pictures shown from our own state; where rugged, muddy roads have been converted into beau tiful macadam highways with easy slopes, and safe bridges—marvels of expert construction. This has been done by convict labor. The state has by the cheapest possible means facil itated traffic by highways that will endure for hundreds of years. Then came scenes of our natural beauties; rivers, mountains, lakes, forests, falls, cliffs, and flowers; all so perfectly colored as to bring out every line, shadow and color. Mountains, falls, and trees were shown in the varying lights of morning, noon, and evening. These pictures were mostly taken by Mr. A. II. Barnes, who has made Oregon photography his life work. He sometimes waited weeks to gain the right effect of light. “Do you like them?” asked Mr. Hill. “All these beauties could be made access ible to all through the construction of proper highways.” Tariff Relatively Unimportant. “Road building is the greatest pro blem of the day; not tariff. This question is five times as important as the tariff controversy. Let’s quit bothering about these obsolete sub jects and get down to something that vitally concerns us,” said Mr. Hill. We must make it possible for the farmer to haul his produce cheaply, for he is the great food producer; and facilitating his work means ad vantage to all. Concentration on the cities invariably means decay, f«V* that is not the essential part of our development. Do you know that nine (Continued on last page.) JOURNALIST’S JOKE ON HOST YEAR CLASS RESULTS IN UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS A class room experiment in news paper psychology, which worked al most too well, nearly resulted in the mill-racing: of a Freshman and a Sophomore, created an uproar in the department of journalism for an hours and finally aroused the police and newspaper men of two cities, in an effort to locate a trumped up auto mobile theft. Professor Allen, of the department of Journalism, to test the accuracy of his student journalists at reporting; facts, laid the plans for the episode, using Clarence Ash and Max Sommer as confederates. Just after the Freshman journal ism class assembled yesterday after noon, Ash rushed into the room breathless, and whispered in the ear of Sommer. The latter sprang to his feet, shot a frightened glance about the astonished class room, jumped through an open window, and dashed pell-mell across the campus out of sight. Shortly after order was resumed in the class room the phone rang. Ash was called for. The professor appeared provoked. “Tell your friend not to call you during recitation hour,” he admoh (Continued on last page.)
