PLANNING CAMPAIGN Will Co-Operate With Educa tional League to Uphold Appropriation Portland, Ore., Oct. 17.—Alumni of the University of Oregon organ ized last night at a meeting in the Commercial Club to co-operate with the Oregon Citizens’ Educational League in a campaign over Multno mah county to unhold the appropri ation of the State University in the coming election. A committee was appointed, em powered to appoint others to its membership, to make a systematic campaign of Portland enlisting the support of the voters for the univer sity bills. Members «of the alumni pledged themselves to work among the clubs and commercial an£ edu cational organizations of the city and county. Efforts will be made to increase registration before the books close Saturday. Thq chief work will be among the women voters. Headquarters of the alumni or ganization will be in the office of Raffety & Veateh, 416 Fenton Build ing. « Members of the committee ap pointed last night by John C. Veateh, who presided, are: Harry Raffety, Merwin Rankin, Lyle Brown, Martin Hawkins, Dean Goodman, Terry Beck, C. N. McArthur and Dr. Hor ace B. Fenton. Allen Eaton, of Eugene, was pre sent and addressed the alumni. DEXTER CLUB WORKS HARD Mary Spiller Girls Helping Out In University Campaign. The Dexter Club of Mary Spiller Hall has worked enthusiastically for the University in the coming elec tion. Miss Neufeldt has interested her friends in large business con cerns in Portland. They have prom ised her their aid. Ethelyn Boydell has sent letters‘to friends in East ern Oregon and has received satis factory letters in return. Mrs. Ban croft, the House Mother at Mary Spiller,“has ‘kent 50 letters to Port land' and her friend, Miss Kathryn Polifka of Wisconsin, is also work • © ing for University, by distributing literature in the interest of the Uni versity. Mr. Finch, director of the Educa tional department of the Y. M. C. A. in Portland, and President Campbell, were dinner guests on Sunday, at the Mens’ Dormitory Mr. Geo. Shafer, passenger freight agent on the Wabash R. R. was a dinner guest on Sunday, at the Beta Thea Pi house. ALLEN EATON OPTIMISTIC ALUMNI AND STUDENT WORI BEING FRAUGHT WITH RESULTS CONFUSION MUSI BE AVOIDEI Friends of University Are Work ing Hard to Carry Marioi County. Press of State Sup ports Appropriation. "The interest in favor of the University Appropriations is gradu ally Increasing at Salem and Port land,” says Allen Eaton who has spent the last week at these two places, speaking 'on ‘‘Direct Legisla tion” and working for the appropria tions. ‘‘At Salem the old graduates are very active, especially Chester Moores and Earl Kilpatrick. Ex Mayor Rogers who represented the Governor on pledge day, and Sena tor Hal Patton are also hard at it. Various organizations are doing ex cellent work In stirring up interest and informing the people of the sit uation. The Commercial Club and the Cherrians are very active. In 1908 Marion county went 9000 against the appropriation but it is the hope of these men and organiza tions to split even the vote, if not return a majority favorable to the University. It is worthy to note that the registration in Marion county is the strongest in the state, so far. Much Interest In Portland. In Portland the interest is increas ing even more rapidly, due largely to the letters which have been sent out by the students. The Oregon Edu cational League of which Eugene Brookings is President, and John Veatch is Secretary are working like Trojans in the matter of Publicity. Last week the members of the Alum ni formed an organization for an in tensive campaign in Portland. Har vey Rafferty was appointed at the head of a committee consisting of nine members. It is the ambition of this committee to secure 100 per sons to agree to get 100 men apiece. Fight Not Won. In regard to the outlook Mr. Eaton says, “The fight is by no means won as any one who knows the real situation must admit, and it is not unlikely that the work done by the students and the people of Eugene may be responsible for the result. Many people say, ‘the press is with us.’ This is quite true, there being only four papers positively op posed to us. But it must be remem bered that in 1908 only three pa pers were against us, yet the elec tion was lost outside of Multnomah county by over 6000. Multnomah returned a majority of 9000 which we can hardly expect in this election, for the vote will be very light there. Hundreds if not thousands of votes will go against us by those who in tend to support but who on account of the confusing wording of the bal lot will vote ‘No,’ thinking that the vote is on the referendum, but the vote is on the measure and those who intend to support the University must vote ‘Yes.’ This fact cannot be over-emphasized.” o Gav*n Dyott and William Hena ner went to Portland Friday for a week-end visit. John Bull and Jack Elliott of the Kappa Sigma house, are experienc ing a slight sick spell. Wallace Mount has returned to Olympia after a short visit at the Beta house. jOiXOTT IS FOR ' APPROPRIATION : SAYS OPPOSITION SHOWS INTEREST IN CAM PAIGN MANY VOTLRS ARE CONFUSED Secretary Explains System oi Voting as Identical With Thai of Legislature in Passing or a Vetoed Measure. In an interview with an Emerald reporter Saturday afternoon in Sa lem, Secretary of State Ben. W. 01 cott expressed the desire that the University of Oregon would win in the election on November 4 and stated that he had no doubt but that the bills would .carry. In speaking of the University referendum Mr. Olcott said: “I have heard practically no com ment for or against the University. This to my mind bodes well for the University as it shows lack of inter est on the part, of the opponents of the bill. I earnestly decire that the measure pass and that the Univer sity get what it deserves. If we at tempt to have a state University I do not believe in stinting the school in the matter of appropriations. "Alter being informed by Allen Eaton that the voters were confused as to whether they were voting on the measure or the referendum I have decided to give out a statement to the newspapers in an effort to render every possible assistance in my power to the University.” Voters Confuse Issues. 1 he statement issued by the Sec retary of State’s office is as follows: Salem, Ore., Oct. 18, 1913 It has come to the notice of this office that, a number of the voters of tlie state are not correctly ad vised as to the manner of voting up on the measures to be submitted to the people under referendum peti tions at the ensuing special election, November 4, 1913. In order to cor rect any misunderstanding that may exist in the minds of any of the voters of the state when voting upon any measure, whether it be submitted by the Legist autre, by referendum petition or under an initiative peti tion, if they are in favor of the same and wish to vote for it becoming a law they mark an "X” between the ballot number for such measure and the word “yes,” as appears on the of ficial ballot, and If they are opposed to such measure and wish to sig nify their disopproval thereof they mark an “X” between the ballot number of the measure and the word “no.” To better illustrate the mat ter it might be added that the voter is voting directly upon the measure before him for his consideration and not on the question of sustaining the referendum petition. Voters must bear in mind solely that if they are in favor of any measure they vote “yes” and If opposed to it they vote “no.” This same ques tion has arisen prior to other elec tion and it is not unlikely that many have voted contrary to their desires by keason of their not knowing how to properly mark their ballots. Same as Vetoed Bills. To further illustrate, when a ve toed measure is returned to the Leg islature top its further consideration as* to whether that body will pass theo measure notwithstanding the veto of the Governor the question is so put and -if the required number of members os'each body vote" affir matively on such measure It becomes a law of the state. They do not vote “no” when opposed to sustaining the Governor’s veto but they vote “yes” notwithstanding the Governor’s veto, and so it is when the people vote up MARE SUCCESSFUL IN DRAMATIC TRYOUTS Eight Women and Sixteen Men Selected From Forty-Two Candidates for Club Fourteen new members were elected to membership in the Dra matic Club from forty-two candi dates. The choice was made yester | day by the judges after competitive tryouts. Following are the new members: Martha Beer, Emma Wootton, Catharine Carson, Katherine Cogs well, Margaret Pratt. Myrl McClos key, Constance Cartwright, Merle Sterns, C. A. Naylor, Martin Nelson, Harold Singley, Cleveland Simpkins, Ralph Ash, Milton Stoddard. The judges were: Alfred Skei, president; Prof. A. F. Reddle, coach; Miss Mary Perkins, faculty repre sentative; Francis Curtis, honorary member. When interviewed in regards to the tryout Manager Walter Dimm said: “This is the best and largest tryout the Dramatic Club has ever had. The material was so exception ally good this year that the judges had difficulty in selecting the names.” At the next meeting of the Club Plans for a play will be discussed. DEAN OF LAW SCHOOL TO ADDRESS ASSEMBLY Judge Gantenbein Will Discuss Election Measures Be fore Students Judge C. W. Gantenbein, Dean of the Oregon Law School, will be the Assembly speaker Wednesday. In his address, Judge Gantenbein will discuss all the bills wl jh are to be voted upon next montn, but he will more specifically explain the "Work man’s Compensation Act” ub a mat ter of particular interest to the great est number of voters. The Glee Club Quartet will assist on the program as will the Univer sity Choir, accompanied by the or chestra. The latter organization will be composed of the men’s and wom en’s glee clubs combined, and will soon become a regular assembly fea ture. WOMEN TRY ATHLETICS Much Interest Being Shown in Tennis, Golf and Archery Much iuterest is being shown by the girls in their outdoor games. Although the rainy weather has in terfered with their work somewhat, they are rapidly becoming proficient in the various activities. Tennis and archery seem to be the favorite sports, although canoeing, golf and hockey also have their devotees. Teams are being formed in each sport, and if the weather permits, contests will be held soon. Each member of the team is to be award ed her class numeral and the initial letter of the sport in which they were won. For the prescat these ^numerals will be awarded by the Women’s Athletic Association, but It Is hoped that it can soon be made a Student Body affair. The application blanks for admis sion into the Women’s Athletic As sociation are now ready and can be obtained at any time from Miss Thomson in the Women’s Gymna sium, or from Miss Georgia Prather, president of the association. . Approved scholastic standing is necessary for freshmen Kiris to be come members of the association. on laws which the referendum has been invoked. Probably the best guide for the voter would be by asking himself the question “Am I in favor of this bill becoming a law?” If so he votes “yes." If ho is not in favor I of its becoming a law he should vo''* I “no.” OREGON PLAYS IDAHO OCT. 25 GRIFFITH’S MEN RECKONED AS SERIOUS CONTENDERS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP VARSITY’S POSITION CRITICAL Parsons Out of Game With Bad Knee. Hayward Questions Eligibility of Johnson. Patton and May in Conference. Next Saturday Oregon’s football team meets that from the University of Idaho on Kincaid field, in Ore gon’s first conference game of the season. The Idaho team comes for Its second big game, with a victory over W. S. C. already chalked in its favor. They beat the husky Wash ington “Aggies” in spite of their choice by many as Northwest champions, and without Johnosn, Idaho’s star end, who will possibly play against Oregon next Saturday. Oregon has not yet played a team of anything like corresponding cali bre, and, according to Northwest experts, is between one land twto weeks behind in preparation. Though Idaho, has never beaten an Oregon football team, Oregon had to be contented with a bare victory of 3-0 last year; and Oregon was also beaten by 19-2 by a W. S. C team of less class than that trained by Bender and defeated by Idaho this year. Parsons Out of (lame. Oregon’s star halfback, Johnny Parsons, has been troubled for two weeks with a wrenched knee, and will probably be out of the game. If so, the team will have to depend a great deal on Carl Fenton’s punt ing, at which game the big tackle promises to champion all Northwest conference contenders this year. The Oregon-Idaho game comeB simultaneously with that between the Oregon Agricultural College and the, University of Washington at Se attle. In the event of another vic tory for Idaho, Oregon’s position as Northwest champion contender will at once become critical. Games with o. A. C. and Washington, Nov. 8 and 15, respectively, finish Ore gon’s Conference schedule Tor 1913 14. Players’ Eligibility Questioned. Oregon’s athletic head, “Bill” Hayward, has now entered the Con ference eligibility fight and will contest three men, Patton, of Wash ington; Johnson, of Idaho, and May, of O. A. C. Patton’s offense will be late registration, as he has not yet returned from his trip to Japan with the U. of W. baseball team, and cannot, therefore, register within the 21-day liimt after the opening of college. Johnson is to be a target for all the colleges because he has played four years of Intercollegiate foot ball; three at Lawrence College and one at Idaho. The same charge is laid to May of O. A. C., who played two years with Willamette before becoming a member of the “Aggie” team. His two years’ service there fills out the four-year limit imposed by Confer ence ruling.
