LONG FIGHT ALMOST OVER STRUGGLE HARD FOUGHT, BUT NOT EXPENSIVE, SAYS DYMENT PROPHESIES CLOSE BALLOTING John C. Veatch Optimistic as to Outcome Because of Decided Stand Taken by Oregon Press During the Campaign. (By C. V. Dyment) Seventy-two hours from tonp' t will end the struggle carried into every corner of Oregon by friends jf the University to have the two Uni versity building appropriations up held at the special referendum elec tion of November 4. It has been a hard fight; it has not been an ex pensive one. Campaign funds were small; what has been done has been mostly a tribute of love. Few votes will be made or un made between now and Tuesday and a majority of those interested are settling down to await the result. What that result will be is about the sole topic on the campus, among fac ulty and students alike. Some work will of course be done tomorrow and Monday, that is letters will be writ ten Sunday by way of reminder, and reaching their destinations just be fore election, should do considerable good. Those in charge of the cam paign, in both Portland and Eugene, are urging that as many as possible of such letters be written; they may actually turn the election. liesult Still Uncertain. That a few letters, written in the closing hours of a campaign, may mean victory instead of defeat at tests how close the campaign com mittees fear the result will be. Rarely has an election been so close with the result so uncertain. If the University is defeated, it is expected to be by only a small margin; if it wins, there is a chance it may win overwhelmingly, for people are said to be getting really tired of persecu tion of a higher educational institu tion and of abuse of the referendum for furtherance of personal ends. Since the days of the initiative and referendum campaign in Oregon, few causes have received so much pub licity as that of the University dur ing the past six weeks. Pieced end on end, the stories regarding the ap propriations and the comment on the issue would extend across the cam pus. This amazing amount of pub licity has been 99 per cent favorable to the University. “If the appropria tions are not upheld I shall lose my faith in the power of the press,” said John C. Veatch, secretary of the Oregon Citizens’ Educational league, who was at the University yesterday. Other features of the favorable side of the campaign have been; Speeches at hundreds of small’ gatherings throughout the state by Portland speakers, alumni of the dif ferent localities and other persons favorable to the University, cards distributed by the Eugene campaign committee. Daily meetings of the Eugene campaign committee at the Hotel Osburn ,and most efficient work by it. This work has had the backing, moral and financial of the Eugene Commercial Club. Daily meetings at luncheon at the Portland Commercial club by the Oregon Citizen’s Educational league. Voter-to-voter work by dozens of woman’s clubs. Voter-to-voter work by thousands of friendly individuals, some be cause they have been connected with the University but most because they believe the cause is Just. STUDENTS TO GET RETURNS CLASSES IN JOURNALISM I WILL ASSIST PAPERS DURING ELECTION EMBRYO REPORTERS TO WORK One Set Distributed Among Pre cincts to Bring Count to Of fice Where Others Will Com pile and Announce Results. In accordance with the plan start ed last year, the Journalism classes will again have the opportunity for practical experience, in assisting the local papers to cover the election re turns, Tuesday night. Members of the advanced classes will assist In the offices, helping to handle the returns from all over the state as well as from Eugene. Auto mobiles will make the rounds of the precincts each hour, where one of the embryo journalists will have the to tals of votes polled tallied on blanks provided for the purpose. The jour nalism students will be responsible for the returns from all the precincts, and a certain number of them will be assigned to one or two apiece. The blanks will, have printed places for the “ayes” and “nays;” and are so arranged that they can be pasted to gether in a convenient manner for adding the total. The blanks will be taken to the offices a.t the end of each hour, where the more experienced college journalistic lights will compute the totals, and prepare the copy for the lintotypes. The local papers expect to be able to announce the obvious trend of the election by ten o’clock, and the final result a few hours later. Last year the college students trudged through a steady rain, and mud, from remote precincts to the newspaper offices with the hourly returns from the pre cincts, until two p. m. in the morn ing.

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS AT ALBANY IMPROVED Walker and Boylen Return From the Football Capital Graduate-manager Dean Walker returned yesterday from Albany where he met Dr. E. J. Stewart of Corvallis to make the final arrange ments for the handling of the large crowd which is expected In Albany November 8 to witness the Oregon O. A. C. football game. Assistant manager of football, Tom Boylen, accompanied Walker. “The seats have been so numbered and blocked off that there will be no trouble In handling the crowds as there was last year,” said Walker. "The seats have been measured and will be numbered so that when one purchases his ticket he can tell ex actly where he will sit. This will avoid the endless confusion which has occurred when the seats were simply blocked off into sections for the var ious delegations with some of the sections having too few neats for the tickets sold, and others having too many. “Special seat sales will be held in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Cor vallis before the game and every op portunity will be given the specta tors to make preliminary plans. “Sections have been set aside for the several delegations which will be there from the two schools as well as from Salem and Portland. The root ers will be allowed special sections. Oregon will be seated on the oppo site side of the field from the posi tion occupied last year. Leland and Paul Hendricks, John Elliott and Howard Bull are at Sa lem this week-end.
