THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1913. \ IN THE BALCONY. Preliminary practice for the var sity basketball season has started off with a snap and vigor that Is en couraging. A large turn-out has ap peared to compete for the various po sitions, and the usual early season enthusiasm is being manifested. But apparently this ^ithusiasm Is limited to the players themselves. It has been brought to the atten tion of the Emerald that few or none of the students are showing any in terest in the preparation for the com ing conference series. At practice yesterday afternoon in the men’s gymnasium, there were at no time more than a dozen spectators gath ered in the balcony. Perhaps the exit of football for the present year is so recent as to shut out for the time being, the possibil ity of another sport taking its place In the minds of the students, but it should be borne in mind that basket ball. if it Is worthy of being on the list of University athletics is worthy of the full and unqualified support of the student body, not only in the matter of attending games, but in the way of interest displayed before the schedule starts. It. Is the least that the men and women of the University can do to show their appreciation of the work that is being done nightly to further tlie interests of Oregon in athletics. Only a relatively small per cent of those training under Coach Bezdok can possibly be numbered among the lucky five or six who will make the team. Many of them realize tills and work on without any thought of per sonal advancement. A little larger balcony attendance at practice would in all probability be looked on with favor by the squad. 1\\1>I>I,1\0 OI K OWN (’.WOK. As was oxpressed by the student committee last night, there is some thing wrong at Oregon The students are not pulling together some in tangible obstacle Is hoping them apart, preventing them from working its a unit for the lasting good of Ore gon. it lias been stated that the number of minor organizations lias brought this about. If this is the case, it is up to the individual to take down this minor interest from its alleged position of prime importance and in its place set up tin* betim-iuent of the University, as an ideal. Hut another solution is also ad vanced and that is the broadening of tile various phases of student body government and bringing them up to date. Various schemes might be Introduced for accomplishing this end, but that which naturally sug gests itself Is student self-govern ment through the agency of a coun cil of representative students. Oregon has reached the stage where the system devised some twenty years ago is inadequate. The students are morally and mentally capable of looking after their own affairs, and the faculty, as stated re rently by President Campbell, are ready and willing to concede this au thority to the undergraduates. Student government has been tried successfully in many of the colleges in the country and deserves a trial at Oregon. oooooooooooooooooo o ' o o ANNOUNCEMENTS. o o - o o Freshman Smoker—At the o o Kappa Sigma house Satur- o o day evening.

It was pointed out that tho multi tude of clubs and societies caused a breaking down of Oregon loy alty and substituted smaller inter ests for that formerly centered in the University. President Motschen bacher stated that the present ma chinery of student government was inadequate and suggested that It be aided by the addition of a student council. Student self-government was also mentioned ns a remedy for existing conditions. The committee adjourned to meet in the near future and formulate plans for definite action. MANAGER DORRIS LETS ENGRAVING CONTRACTS Will Use Highest Grade of Half Tone Paper in Printing Oregana Manager Ben Dorris, of the 1915 Oregana, announces that he has signed a contract with the Hieks Chatten Engraving Co., of Portland, for the engraving work for the Ore gana. Their color work is especially fine, and Editor Hendricks is figur ing on running several famous cam pus and mill race scenes in the nat ural colors. The Oregana staff members are now figuring on the size of the book and the quality of the paper, and have about decided on a 7 3-4 by 10 5-8 leaf of Warren’s Lustro en ameled paper, in the 100 or 120 pound weight!. This paper is the highest class of half tone paper, and tlic weight used should give a sub stantial page, as well as permit a durable binding. A departure In the method of bind ng is to be made from that of previ ous books. A green leather will cov er tho hinge of the book and extend on to each board for about two or three inches and the balance of the cover will be bound in yellow art cloth. Hendricks is now lining up his work and expects to have it well un der way by the first of the year, so that there will be no delay in the date announced for the publication. May 3rd. ‘‘Hap’’ Miller, the plunging Wash ington halfback, has been mentioned by Uoscoe Fawcett as possible All American material. Purdue lias decided upon a $100, 000 union building. READING OF “STRIFE” PLEASES AUDIENCE Prof. Reddie Handles Many Charactered Play Master fully Last Night (By Mandell Weiss) Before an audience that overtaxed the seating capacity of room 33, Deady Hall, Prof. A. F. Reddie gave one of the most absorbing and dra matic readings of the season on Tuesday evening. The reading was I from John Galsworthy’s play, I “Strife.” The play contains an un-! usually large number of characters ] and to preserve the individuality of each is no easy task. Yet Prof. Red die handled all the parts masterfully and there seemed no difficulty in as certaining each time the character that was speaking. From the feeble voice to the harsh and gruff, from the excited to the calm and compos ed tones, changed intermittently with the utmost ease. The fall and the rise of the curtain were the only things absent to tell the audience that they were not witnessing an actual performance. At the end of the reading, the audience showered the reader with applause. “Strife” will be presented by the class in Draamtic Interpretation in the latter part of February, under Professor Reddie’s direction. This will be the second performance that the class has given this semester. The Young Women's Christian As sociation are raising funds to send a missionary to India. The sororities at the Iowa State University have agreed not to pledge girls affiliated with high school fra ternities, unless they renounce their membership in the high school or ganizations. ooooooooooooooooo o NOTICE. o - o All Emerald subscriptions q should be paid up NOW. o Those not paid -will be stop- o ped at the end of this week. o MARSH GOODWIN, o Manager, o o ooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo o SAVOY THEATRE o - o Big State Right Feature— o Two Vaudeville Acts. o - o THE DE LEONS—One of the o greatest vaudevill^ features on o state.
