The number of changes in student government and affairs has been greater during the year 1912-13 than in any preceeding year. The first task taken up by the Executive Coun cil was that of reforming the system of finance. Heretofore money voted by the Athletic Council, Executive Committee, or needed by any of the departments of student activity was paid directly to the manager by the treasurer. There was no way of keeping close watch upon expendi tures and no ultimate authority as to what claims should be honored. The system adopted last Fall provides that before money may be paid out by the treasurer the action shall be auth orized by voucher signed by the Stu dent Body president and two members of the Executive Council. This places the control of funds in the hands of that body elected directly by the stu dents to overlook all departments of student interest. Later in the year the council sus pended the publication of the Oregon Monthly on the grounds that its sup port was not sufficient to warrant its continuance, At the second regular Student Body meeting the committee on constitu tional revision submitted its report, whieh was adopted practically with out amendment to take effect next Fall. The most noteworthy changes were: The provision for recall elec tions; the increase of the student fee from five to eight dollars, with the granting of free season tickets to each student; the treasurer made ex-officio secretary of the Athletic Council; pro vision for the auditing of accounts by an expert uccountant annually; the granting of athletic blunkets; the lim iting of sweaters to one during the college course; the awarding of Glee Club letters; the Girls’ Choral Club granted status as a Student Body or ganization, and the editor and man ager of the Emerald granted fifteen per cent of any surplus in addition to their regular salaries. The graduate manager’s report shows the debt lessened by a thousand dollars and a paying schedule for next year. TWELVE OREGON STUDENTS SIGN UP l'OK CONFERENCE Twelve students have already signi fied their intention to attend the an nual Student Conference at Columbia Reach, June 14-22. With otners who are planning on the trip, if possible, the local branch of the V. M. C. A. should be well represented. Last year the Oregon contingent reported a splendid time. Good speak ers from all over the country have been secured for this year’s confer ence, and it should set a new murk both in attendance and interest. Among those who are planning to spend the week following exams at the coast are: Will Murphy, John Wells, Charles Koyl, John Black, Al fred Biles, Karl Fortmiller, Bert Lom bard, Vernon Motschenbacher, Owen Whalen, Clarence Runyan, and Don Larwood. INTERCLASS MIX FOR NEXT YEAR UNDER CONSIDERATION That next year’s Junior class is going to introduce lots of “pip” into the annual inter-class mix, which is scheduled for early next Fall, is at tested by the fact that President-elect B, S. Gerard has already appointed the committee for the event from the most.loyal of his adherents in the re cen’t*class election. Clarence. Ash has been appointed chairmafi'of.otlVe •committee, with Bert Lombard, Thomas I>onucn,JBryjfnUl>o Bar, Harry Cash, Marsh Goodwin, apd Jessup Strang as colleagues. Work is already being started, and newer and better stunts than ever will be intro duced.

FOOML PROSPECTS GOOD FOR 13 SEASON Capain Bradshaw Optimistic With Bezdeck and New Men to Aid Team. “Prospects are as good as they pos sibly could be at the end of the sec ond semester,” said Captain Bob Bradshaw in speaking of the football situation for the coming year. “We lose only three men by graduation, Bailey, Walker, and Briedwell. It looks like all the old men will be back, and from present indications there wil be a fine bunch of new ma terial. Coach Bezdek will be on hand the early part of September and will probably have his plans all arranged by the time school opens.” “When Bezdek coached here in 1906, he turned out a championship team. The situation now appears as if he will be able to duplicate the same next year. Three good men are com ing down from eastern Oregon, while several good prep stars will come from the High Schools of Portland. Another thing which makes the pros pects bright, is the fact that several men now in college, who probably would have won their “0,” had they gone out, will go out next year.” “The schedule for next year,” said Captain Bradshaw, “is the most fav orable one we have had in years. All the games, with but one exception, will be played on neutral grounds. There will be no long trips. Five games will be played and Manager Geary is planning to have some good second string games played on Kin caid field during the season.” The season should prove profitable from a financial standpoint, since the schedule is a favorable one. The new system of Student Body tickets, ac cording to Manager Geary will help greatly in the season’s financing. At least this system will bring out much larger crowds than have heretofore attended the Varsity football games. Y. M. C. A TEAMS WORK Ten Men Endeavor to Get Crowd to Attend Columbia Beach Conference. To secure a large representation at the annual Y. M. C. A. conference at Columbia Beach in June, the local branch has devised a novel scheme. Two teams, one headed by Alfred Biles, and the other by Clarence Run yan, each assisted by five other men, have been organized. An effort is be ing made by each team to secure the largest number of students for the conference. The losers have agreed to prepare and give a clam bake on the beach for the winning team. Also the victorious side will be treated by Charles Koyl, the secretary. Members of the two teams are A. Biles, V. Motchenbacher, C. Geisler, O. Whallon, C. Fee, J. Black, M. Getchell, D. Larwood, M. Moore, and W, Church. Y. W. TO DEDICATE BUNGALOW DURING COMMENCEMENT According to a statement today by Mrs. Fletcher, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., it is planned to dedicate the new Bungalow during Commence ment week. Though the building con tract leaves the carpenters until July lo to complete the structure, at pres ent tlie indications are that it will be finished before that time. The plastering is already complete and the outside has had its first coat of paint. Next fall at the opening of the college year the bungalow will be furnished and made ready for use. The cost of the structure is approxim ately $2,f>00. LOST Ablaek, loose leaf note book.

WIFE’S MONEY DOESN’T KEEP LAW STUDENT OUT OF JAIL She Wins $20,000 in Breach of Prom ise Suit, but New Hubby is Jailed for Lack of $22 Portland, Or., May 29—Two daya after he married a woman who had just won a judgment for $20,000 from another man on a breaeh of promise suit, Charles Yates, a University of Oregon Law School graduate, was ar rested in Vancouver for larceny last week. He plead that he had no money with which to pay the $27 deficiency, that would keep him out of jail. He could not furnish bonds, but was eventually released upon his own re cognizance. The charge of larceny was based upon the accusation that he had taken $27 from a client for an abstract, and that he had failed to deliver the money to the abstract company. He was acting as attorney for the L. E. Klupp, real estate Com pany, of Portland. Yates’ troubles came but two days after his marriage to Elizabeth But ler, daughter of W. L. Butler, of Polk county. Only a week previous to this Miss Butler received a judgment from A. B. Stevenson, of Dallas, on a $50,000 breach of promise suit.
