Nominations for Council to Take
Place on Wednesday Previ
ous—New Body Will Hold
Bi-weekly Meetings.
The vote taken Wednesday morn
ing in the student body meeting on
the two amendments which provide
a student council and service stars,
was unanimously in favor of the
amendments. Former varsity ath
letes, who would be eligible for ser
vice blankets will be allowed to pur

There was little discussion on the
questions before the students and
after the second reading and ex

vote was taken.
A meeting of the executive com
mittee will be held the first of next
week and arrangements for the elec

council will be made. The nomina

open student body meeting and the
balloting will be done on - Friday.
Saturday the first meeting of Ore
gon’s new student council will be
held and active work will be started.
# “Now that the students have ex

of the student council plan, it is up
to the students to see that good, live
and reliable men are elected to fill
the open offices on the council,” said
President Motschenbacher last night.
Has Many Functions.
“The council will superintend the
Junior Week-end entertainment and
will see that the high school athletes
are cared for in the best manner pos
sible. An attempt will be made to
do away with 'a large amount of the
dissatisfaction and incidents that
have heretofore always accompanied
this affair. The yell leader is se
lected by the council and it will see
that the students are organized prop
erly. The stunts pulled off at the
games will be under the council’s
supervision and that these shall be
of a proper nature and carried off
properly will be the duty of the stu
dent council to oversee. Much of
the confusion that has been present
in the past at rallies and games will
be eliminated by proper plans being
laid and all arrangements for all
games and entertainments being
made a sufficient time before to en
able the University to make a credit
able showing.
suggestions Asked.
** “Any student that has a sugges
tion to bring before the students will
be permitted to first bring it before
the council for their approval and
support if it is desired. Any troubles
- that may occur between the students
at large and the faculty will be look

just reconciliation will be proposed
to the faculty. When a new ruling
is made by the faculty concerning
the students the “council will make
° endeavors•to see that this is done
properly and justice is meted out to
the stuednts. The trouble which oc
curred following the last examina
tions would have been taken care of
by the council and instead of the stu
dents having to get together and
forming a committee to await on the
faculty r.s happened then, the matter
would be taken up by the council.”
The student council will meet ev
ery two weeks regularly. There are
to be eight representatives elected
on this council, five from the senior
class and three from the junior. As
yet no candidates have appeared on
the field openly but already a num

BAKER TRI-STATE TEAM
MAY TRAIN IN EUGENE (
Walker Tries to Get League j
Players to Help Condition
of Varsity Nine
The open season for baseball has !
skidded forward another notch, in
fact several, since it has become
known that Graduatet-Manager Walk
er is endeavoring to get the Baker
City team, a member of the Tri
state League, which is ’training at
Salem this year, to come here and
train with the Varsity nine.
Walker has consulted with Man
ager Clifford of the team, who is a
graduate of Oregon, and is now in
correspondence with him concerning
the proposition. Nothing was defin
itely decided at the former meeting
but Walker thinks that the prospects
are favorable for securing the team
to practice here.
The catcher on the team, King,
who also is in charge during the
training season, is a Eugene man.
The Baker team trains in the valley
as they can start nnich sooner on ac
count of weather conditions.
If this deal is carried through, the
Varsity will then have a short prac
tice game every day and that they
will be in*the prime of condition for
the first conference games goes with
out saying.
FIFTH GAME OF SERIES
WITH 0. A. C. TOMORROW
Oregon’s Chances Good in Spite
of “Dope.” Basket Shoot
ing Has Improved
Oregon meets O. A. C. tomorrow
evening at 7:15 in the fifth game of
the series. Out of the four games
which have already been played the
'Aggies have taken three, and the
dope is apparently against us. The
general sentiment, however, is san
guine. Bezdek’s men have put in a
hard week of practice and are con
sidered to be in the best condition
they have exhibited thus far this sea
son.
Captain Fenton expressed the gen
eral sentiment of the team by say
ing, “We’ve a good chance to beat
them here; but over there it is a
toss-up. We played them one good i
I game on their own ground and were
j nosed out at the end; and we played
j them one rotten game.’’
j The lineup of the teams has not
I been announced; but for the Var
j sity there will probably be the men
j who have filled the various positions
thus far this season—Fenton, Brad
shaw, Walcott, Sims, Bigbee, Koch
and Wheeler—played as Coach Bez

ment.

36-18 IS SCORE IN LAST
TUESDAY NIGHT’S
GAME
FERNEY GETS EIGHT BASKETS
Players Loud in Praise of 0. A.
C. Hospitality. Work of Swan
as Referee Meets With Gen
eral Approval.
(By Everett Saunders)
With Ferney shooting more bas
kets than the entire team of his op
ponents and practically all his team
mates backing him up with lesser
numbers of field goals, the Oregon
Freshman defeated the first year
men of O. A. C. by the decisive score
of 38-18 in last Tuesday’s game.
The game though fast was clean at
all stages, only five personal fouls
being called by Referee Swan—
three against the Aggies and two
against Oregon.
The Oregon hopefuls took the lead
in the early stages and held it
through the entire session. At the
end of the first"half the score was
22-8, four of the Corvallis points be
ing made from baskets after fouls.
Ferney starred for the visitors with
eight field goals; Bigbee and Hunt
ington also showed up exceptionally
well. Hustand and Carlson played
creditable games for their team.
A fairly large crowd, which lacked
not at all in spirit, witnesed the con
test. The players are loud in their
praises of the treatment accorded
them by their opponents. They were
entertained at the various fraterni
ties, and every effort was made to
make them feel at home.

CAP AND GOWN CUSTOM
ATTACKEDBY SENIORS
“Relic of Barbarism” Says Pe
tition to Abolish Tradi
tional Garb
Stating that it is a relic of barbar
ism, a wasteful expenditure of money
and a custom that is useless and un
necessary, the Senior S. I.’s have
drawn up a petition which is being
circulated among the Seniors for the
abolishment of caps and gowns at
the coming Commencement exercises.
In speaking of the petition Alfred
Collier, one of the active promoters,
said: “We do not believe this cus
tom is the proper thing and we do
not think thqt a majority of the Se
niors are in favor of. wearing .these
robes during commencement week.
The petition wag gotten up for the
purpose of finding out how the mem
bers of the class feel on the ques
tion.”
One of the principal clauses which
decry the use of the caps and gown
is one concerning the refusal of the
faculty also to wear the robes on
this occasion. “We think that if the
paraphernalia is to be worn at all,
the faculty should also wear them
and make the dress of the whole as
semblage of a uniform nature,” said
Collier. “I think that the petition
is finding considerable approval
among the students.”
The girls now have the document
and the number favoring the petition
is not believed to be as large as
among the men.

The first soccer football team of
the University of Oregon was chosen
this morning and will meet the
strongest eleven in the state, Colum
bia University of Portland, on Kin
caid field Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The field will be muddy
but the Columbia University men are
used to mud Knd play their fast, hard
game, with long swinging passes, on
any kind of ground. Two or three
men who have been barred from
playing for Columbia in the inters
scholastic soccer league in Portland
are expected to be in the lineup
against Oregon, notably Shevlin, an
Irishman.
xctum lue.xpmencea.
The game is principally for exhibi
tion purposes and all that is being
asked of the Oregon eleven is that
it give the best possible account of
itself. The men have promised to do
their best to win, hut of the 14 ask
ed to appear in suits, only three have
ever seen a soccer game. All their
practicing has also been done art the
baseball field and Kincaid will be as
unfamiliar to them as to Columbia.
The referee will probably be Pro
fessor Bach, manager of athletics at
Columbia. Admission of 25 cents
will cover both game and grand
stand and the irrterclass cross-coun
try run will be begun before the first
half starts, ending, it is expected,
about the time the first half is over.
May Substitute.
Soccer halves are 4 5 minutes long.
Commonly no substitutes are allow
ed, but Columbia will be asked to
permit substitutions in this game,
partly to give all the men a bit of ex
perience and partly to relieve men
who may not be able to stand the
strenuousness of 90 minutes of con
tinuous Marathoning.
Spellman, who formerly was him
self a Columbia player, will captain
the Oregon team.
The lineup will be as follows:
Goal—Ralston.
Backs—Spellman and Campbell.
Halves—Nickelson, Amspoker and
Dinneeu.
Right wing—Nelson and Boylen.
Left wing—-'Pearson and Ford.
Center—Tuerek.

country race which will be run at
3:30 o’clock on next. Saturday, the
class of ’15, which has carried away
the honors in this event during the
past two years, will, according to the
concensus of opinion, yield its pres
tige to the Class of ’17. Floyd Payne,
the promising distance runner from
Athena High School, and “Bob"
Langley, from LGncoin High, who
was second to Payne in the mile race
at the state interscholastic meet her >

the squad over tile course. Lee Bost

recently, is tin; other runner who is
, practically certain to represent the
Frosh. Nelson, president of the
class, and Fitzgibbon will likely
complete the team.
The personnel of none of the other
teams are certain. For the Sophs,
only Holt and O’Connell have been
working regularly. But Fee and
Hampton are among those who are
prospective members. The Juniors
have McConnell, Pack, Blaclcaby,
Juareguy and Loucks if those who
have been over the course only once
or twice this spring can be induced
to run.
The Seniors? Trainer “Bill”
Hayward said yesterday, “1 wonder
who will run with Bob McCormick.”
Then becoming serious, “Who ever
heard of the Seniors having a team?”

■CHORAL CLUB
WINS LAURELS
COTTAGE GROVE. CONCERT
LAST EVENING IS
PRAISED
WORK IS REPORTED FINISHED
Emerald Correspondent Says
Whole Program Was Well
Received, Especially Quartet
and Special Feature Numbers
(By Nellie Hemenway)
Cottage Grove, March 5.— (Special
to Emerald).—Today the girls’ Glee
Club has an unassailable position in
the hearts of the Cottage Grove peo
ple who love music as a result of
their concert here last night. A
large crowd greeted the club in the
auditorium of the new high school
building, and it was but a few mo
ments until they were all captive to
the fair song birds.
One would hardly have guessed
from the really finished way 1n which
the young women took their parts
that this was the first public appear
ance of the club ns such. The en
tire program was well chosen and
well rendered and to mention every
thing of merit would be to make a
detailed resume of the program.
Perhaps the number which best
pleased the audience was the delight
ful arrangement of Anuie Laurie by
Dudley Buck, which was perfectly
rendered. The Alma Mater song,
“Carmena,” with its rythmical ca
dences and the charming little negro
lullaby, “The Dusk Witch,” all met
with hearty encores. The encores,
too, were clever, pleasing little
things.
Quartette Makes Hit.
The quartette, “Last Night,” sung
by Eva Brock, Marie Churchill, Bu
ree McConahy and Leah Perkins was
one of the most beautiful numbers of
the entire list.
Professor Lyman’s solo, “The
Spring," was most enthusiastically
received, and the work of Miss Mona
Dougherty at the piano was brilliant
without being hard and cold. She
quite won her audience which is a
difficult thing for a pianist to do
when in competition with singers.
Miss Virginia Peterson sang D’Harde
lot.’s, “I Hid My Iajve,” with sweet
ness, and Miss Janet Young’s read
ing, “Bill Smith," provoked long ap
plause.
niuian loatuio Pleases.
Tlie Indian feature was something
entirely new and' most pleasing. The
songs were exquisite and the spirit
of them was admirably carried out In
the costuming and the pantomime.
Both the solos, sung by Miss Eva
Brock, Miss Leah Perkins, Miss Ro
zella Knox and Miss Marie Churchill,
and tlie choruses were well rendered.
“The Land of the Sky Blue Water”
met with unmitigated approval.

Discussed at Meeting
Wednesday •
That numerals be awarded to
freshmen officially representing the
class of 1917 in athletic contests, and
that °a committee be appointed by
President Nelson to ascertain who

the resolution passed by the fresh

It was decided that a matinee
dance be given by the class and a
