WOMEN’S SCOPE

VARSITY CO EDS BRANCH OUT
INTO NEW ORGANIZATIONS
DURING THE
YEAR
ACTIVITIES ARE INCREASED
Agora Club, Athletic Association and
Women’s League Important
Additions.
(By Bess Lewis.)
Student Body activities for women
have had a greater range and have
held a more important place among
campus affairs during the past year
than ever before. Not only have their
number and scope been extended, but
the interest and enthusiasm have been
keener. Nearly every society or or
ganization has achieved something of
note, has realized one or more of their
ambitions, while all regard the past
year as one of their most prosperous.
The Young Women’s Christian As
sociation has at last secured the
bungalow for which it has worked so
hard and consistently during the past
five years. Its meetings have been
interesting and instructive, and the
average attendance has been good.
Much credit is due Mrs. Fletcher, the
local Secretary, who has been a faith
ful, loyal and enthusiastic helper for
the girls in everything which they
have undertaken.
Eutaxians Are Prosperous.
The Eutaxian Society has also en
joyed a prosperous year. Their pro
grams have been well prepared and
the meetings well attended. A cer
tain proof of their growing popular
ity is the large waiting list for mem
bership, which is limited to forty.
The Choral Club gave a most suc
cessful concert at the Eugene Theatre
during the winter. Instead of being
an uncertain, indepedent organization,
as it has been up to the present year,
it is now officially recognized as a
Student Body activity, under Student
Body management. Aside from the
concert, the club has appeared several
times at Assembly, at the Common
wealth luncheon, and it will comprise
the greater part of the Commence
ment chorus.
Among the newer organizations are
the Agora Club, the Women’s Athletic
Association, and the Triple-A Society.
The Agora Club was organized early
in the year for the study of social and
political questions. They have stu
died the Referendum, Minimum Wage,
the State Legislature, and have com

PORTLAND, June 4.—(Special to
the Emerald.)—In the examinations
for City Park Directors held recently
in this city by the Civil Service De
partment, Miss Gertrude Denhart
passed highest out of the total num
ber of 65. Her mark was 90.02 per

About fifty of those who took the ex
amination were passed. The appoint
ments will be made the latter part of
this week.
Miss Denhart is a graduate of the
University, class 1911, and is a pres
ent an instructor in the High School

Coos Bay, Bandon, Coquille City,
Marshfield, and North Bend High
Schools this week.

PROOF IN ASSEM
BLY TALK
Illustrated Lecture Shows How the
State of Maine Gets $20,000
From Game Rights
That the game of the state should
be protected, not merely from a po
lice standpoint, but from the edu
cational and financial standpoint as
well, that a bird does more good
destroying more insects than it does
harm, and that hunting and fishing
amount to a business proposition for
the state, were some of the state
ments made by State Game Warden
W. F. Finley in his address at assem
bly this morning.
"We must educate the people of
the state,” said Mr. Finley, “to rec
ognize that we can not protect our
game merely by wardens and legisla
tion. We must teach the people to
understand the game. The state of
Maine has recognized this fact, and
now, besides being famous as a hunt
er’s paradise, secures revenues from
this source of nearly $20,000,000.00.
"There is no reason,” he contin
ued, “why Oregon should not have
this position on the Pacific Coast.
As it is, we now secure yearly a sum
ranging from five to ten millions.”
Commencement is one of the hap
piest seasons of the year. Duties are
over—nothing to do but to help the
Seniors graduate, and that is easy.
Stick around a while this Spring and
you will wonder why you never did
before.

O
The 1915 Oregana board has been
organized and plans have been laid to
make next year’s annual the best and
largest book ever published, accord
ing to Editor Leland Hendricks.
“More pages will be added and a
heavier grade of paper will be used,”
said Hendricks in speaking of his
plans for next year, “although they
will be smaller, as less space will be
given to margins than formerly.
“The feature section will be made
especially strong. Several new fea
tures will be used, one of which will
be the manner of preparing the cal
endar of events. This calendar is al
ready in the process of formation and
nothing will escape the notice of its
compilers. Pictures of the O. A. C.
Oregon track meet and several base
ball games have already been taken."

Paper Doubles Record of Last Year
Yet Could Have Been
Much Larger
(By Karl Onthank.)
Lacking only one of getting out
a hundred issues, and publishing well
above 23,500 inches of reading mat
ter, more than twice the approximate
11,500 inches printed last year, the
volume of the Emerald which closes
with this issue has set a record for
covering the news of the University.
The paper has been increased from
a fiv-column semi-weekly to a six
column tri-weekly. The form of the
paper has been improved and tthe
general make-up made much more
like a real grown up newspaper. The
circulation has been close to 1,200
all of the year, about half of which
has been local.
Close to a hundred students have

POLICY
TRI-WEEKLY HAS PAID WELL
Thinks Affairs Are In Good Shape
for Issuing Paper Next
Year.
(By Andrew Collier.)
The Oregon Emerald has had a very
successful year. We feel satisfied
with the results we have obtained,
and are almost reluctant to turn the
little sheet over to our successor.
However, our work has only been a
stepping stone for our successors. The
news end has been organized and a
solid foundation laid for the next
business manager.
“We undertook a daring venture til
inaugurating the tri-weekly, from
both the editing and managing
sides of it. But it has worked out so
admirably that it is not at all im
probable that Oregon might take its
place along side of Washington with
a daily next year. In fact, we debated
seriously whether we should make the

(EM HIS HIDE NEW RECORDS SAYS “PREXT
WITH PROSPECTS FOR 1913-14 BETTER STILL
(By President P. L. Campbell.)
The year just closing has been one
of the best in the history of the Uni
versity. The enrollment has in
creased, the requirements have been
more severe, the average grades have
been higher, and the year has passed
without unpleasant incident, The or
ganization and rapid growth of the
department of Journalism has been
one of the notable features of the
year’s work. The enlargement of the
field work of the Extension Depart
ment has also been a marked gain.
In matters of legislation, the Uni
versity has fared reasonably well.
The fund for maintenance has been
increased by $50,000 per year, the
Extension work was given $15,000 per
year, and $175,000 was appropriated
for buildings. Most important of all,
the Millage Bill, giving the Univer
sity three-tenths of a mill for per
manent maintenance, beginning with
the year 1915, was carried by almost
unanimous vote in the legislature.
The outlook for a large entering
class next year is excellent The
High Schools are graduating large
classes, and are sending large rep
resentatives to the University. The
entering class will break all records.
The most important thing immed
iately before us is to defeat the refer
endum and secure the new buildings,
which are so badly needed. The cam
paign undertaken by the students
promises to be immensely helpful.
With every county organized, and
every friend of the University loyally
at work, the extreme is an assured
victory.
NO DAILY FOR NEXT YEAR
SAYS EDITOR-ELECT FOWLER
Editor-Elect Says Will make No In
crease in Size—Names Members
of Staff.
“There will be no increase in size or
in numbers of issues weekly in next
year’s Emerald,” said Henry Fowler,
editor-elect today. “Neither the ad
vertising nor the size of the Student
Body will warrant it.”
The policy of the paper will be to
stand for the good of the University
first and last. All factions, students,
alumni and faculty, will be treated
fairly and equally. The business end
of the Emerald is at present unsettled,
owing to the fact that during the two
week’s tenure of office, Manager-elect
Michael did not secure bids for print
ing or contracts for advertising. So
far no one has been selected to fill
the place caused by Michael’s resigna
tion.
The editor’s staff is only partially
completed. Clarence Brotherton will
be managing editor; Clarence Ash,
city editor; Jessup Strang, sporting

OREGON TEAMS VICTORIOUS
IN ALL DERATES OF 1912-13
Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain
Title Captured by Prescott’s
Spellers
(By V. T. Motschenbacher.)
To explain Oregon’s many victories
in forensics this year is quite beyond
me. Coach Prescott, without previous
experience, took a bunch of mediocre
men and women and captured every
debate of the year and thereby won
the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain
State’s champnionship. We won, I be
lieve, not because we were naturally
better debaters, but because of more
thorough preparation.
The first intimation of success came
when Zimmerman barely missed tak
ing first place in the State Oratorical
Contest at Newberg, March 14. The
Triangular Debate took place March
28, and Oregon won unanimously, both
against Stanford at Palo Alto and
against the University of Washington
at Eugene. The Utah debate was to
have taken place in Salt Lake April 5,
but owing to the sudden illness of

“SPUD” HILL QUALIFIES AS REAL
BONA-FIDE STORY BOOK HERO
Rescues Myrtle Gram from Icy Cold
Waters of Swift McKenzie
River.
Accidents will happen; yes, indeed!
Without them this would be a dull
world; and without one in particular,
a fraternity picnic on the McKenzie
would be featureless. Without this
one in particular aMurice Hill would
not be a hero; Myrtle Gram would
never have been rescued. ’T was a
thrilling: rescue, at that.
The two stood happily upon a
smooth round rock. The swirling wa
ters eddied about two pair of bare
feet that kicked joyously in the wa
ter.
Something slipped. A splash and
the fair one struggled helplessly in
the swiftly moving current. A sec
ond splash, and the hero was at her
side. A rush of fear swept over
those on shore; then a thrill of pride
as the hero battled manfully with the
current.
VARSITY CO-EDS GET
OUTDOOR EXERCISE
SPORTS IN CHARGE OF PHYSICAL
TRAINING DEPARTMENT
THIS YEAR
Gymnasium Credits Given for Walk
ing, Canoeing, Tennis, and
Golf.
(By Nell Hemenway.)
Nearly every girl in the University
is sporting a good healthy coat of tan,
the result of wholesome hours spent
on the tennis courts, the golf links,
the mill race, and the open roads in
the outdoor work required by the phy
sical training department.
The girls in the canoeing class have
perhaps shown the most interest and
enthusiasm of those in any of the
sports, said Miss Thompson. How
ever, the girls have all been more or
less interested and have derived ben
efit in direct proportion to their in
terest. The girls who because of sick
ness or for any other reason have
been unable to engage in the more
strenuous sports, have taken the
walks of which a regular net-work
has been established. There have
been few long hikes, such as trips to
Spencer’s Butte, and the few that
have been made have been leisurely
in the extreme, but for the short
walks some very creditable records
have been established. Charlotte
Sears, starting from the gymnasium,
achieved the top of Judkin’s Point in
nineteen minutes, establishing the
college record. The object of these
walking classes is to get the girls out
into the fresh air and open country
and walks to the postoffice and back

ATHLETIC YEAR
PUZZLES FANS
BRILLIANT VICTORIES AND BAD
DEFEATS MARK THE
RECORDS OF
TEAMS
D. A. C. BEATEN IN FOOTBALL
Championship Baseball and Track
Teams Lose Out In Crucial
Contests.
(By J. Ward Arney.)
Athletically, Oregon's calendar for
the college year that is fast waning,
is one marked by the bright red
spots of glorious victory and by the
indigo blurr of almost discouraging
defeat. Intoxicating success kaleidi
scoped with humiliating defeat until a
mere statitician is plunged into a
muddled chaos. Thi is true in respect
to every branch of athletics. But
through^it all has come the “Oregon
Spirit” to inspire a defeated team with
the fairness of a true sportsman and
with the fighting tenacity that carried
it on to its wonderful triumphs. Rec
ognizing this spirit, an Oregon man
is able to comprehend the reversals of
form while the mere statistician is
confused.
Football Prospects Good.
The record of the football team fur
nishes the first athletic enigma.
Starting off with very promising ma
terial, under the tutelage of three
old Oregon stars, Pinkham, Moores,
and Main, Oregon was figured as a
potent factor in the championship
race. But continued injuries and schol
astic difficulties made necessary so
many changes in the lineup that Ore
gon lost its two first games of the
Conference schedule, a hopeless de
feat at the hands of Whitman and a
heart-breaking one snatched away by
Washington State College. Following
these two stumbles, the team fought
out a 3-0 victory over Idaho. Then
came the game against Washington
when Dobie’s machine won a 30-14
battle after Oregon had thrilled the
spectators by its wonderfully daring
use of the forward pass. Looking
back over this string of disappoint
ments, it seemed certain that the O.
A. C. team would be a sure winner in
the Albany game, for they had de
feated Whitman by a one-sided score
and had outplayed, but last to Wash
ington. Supported by a pilgrimage
of rooters and full of fight, Oregon
played their heriditary rivals off the
field and won when Fenton placed the
ball between the posts for three
points. A glorious climax to a tear
ful tragedy. _

WOMEN II lUIS MEETING NUMI6E TO WAGE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST flEFERENDUM THIS SUMMER
• '* . . \-2Ut
A mass meeting of the women of
the University was held this after
noon at 4 p. m., in the Women’s Gym
nasium. Hie purpose of the meeting
was to consider and outline a cam
paign against the University refer
endum, to be carried on by the women
in their home towns during the sum
mer.
To systematize this movement the
State has been divided into districts,
each one of which will be superin
tended by a held marshall, whose
duty it shall be to And out and appoint
students in the various towns of the
district to take charge of the cam
paign in their town.
The local campaign as now planned
will be more along the line of visiting
the voters, especially the women, in a
house to house canvass, if necessary,
and to discuss with them the use of
the University and to clear up the. ex
isting misapprehensions regarding the •
institution.
Among those who spoke at the
meeting this afternoon were Mrs. M.
Washburn, former President of the
Eugene Suffrage Club, Miss Ruth
Guppy, Dean of Women, and Miss
Eleanor McClain, president of the
Woman’s League.
Last week a similar organization
was effected among the men of the
University and through Mr. Eugene
Brookings will carry on another ac
tive campaign.
