FRATERNITY COUNCIL
PLAN PLEASES ALUMNAE
0. W. Walla, ’12, Gives Opinion
of System in Letter to
Emerald.
Salem, March 25, 1914.
To the Editor: Let all Oregon
men, graduates and under-graduates,
give thauks that “Oregon Spirit” Is
about to be saved.
The gradual weakening of “Ore
gon Spirit” has been very noticeable
to all who have watched our Student
Body since the days of two fraterni
ties, to the present day, when there
are ten. Many have realized that the
dtsease was the dreaded “hook
worm,” but no one was ambitious
enough to attempt a cure. “Oregon
Spirit” knew that It was not as
strong and vigorous as It used to be,
but, ub Is characteristic of one afflict
ed with this malady, it was not able
to do anything for Itself. Help must
come from the outside.
Prom over the mountains, last fall,
came Hugo Bezdok, to direct athlet
ics at our alma mater, lie got to
gether a fine bunch of young men,
and did all In his power to produce
a championship team, but “Oregon
Spirit" was too weak. Again In has
ketball, he worked hard with the ma
terial at hand. Only Whitman kept
Oregon out of the cellar.
But “ 'tts an 111 wind," you know,
and now we find Bezdok calling a
conference of fraternity men "a
get-together meeting,” he called It.
He Is elected president of the Frater
nity Council. The hookworm Is out.
and as soon as the patient recovers
from the shock of the operation we
can expect "Oregon Spirit” to take a
now lease on life. It does not neces
sarily mean more athletic victories,
but It does mean more “Oregon
MEN."
Thrice hail, Hugo Bezdok!

HAYWARD LIKES
COOS COUNTRY
TRAINER IS BACK—FINDS
SOME GOOD YOUNG
ATHLETES
LECTURES BEFORE 1200
Walks 34 Miles During Trip.
Material Here Good—Second
and Third Place Men Scarce
—Distance Men Strong.
(By Willard Shaver)
After visiting Marshfield, Bandon,
Coquille, North Bend and Myrtle
Point, where he delivered stereopti
con lectures to more than 1200 per
sons, mostly high school students,
Bill Hayward is again at the Univer
sity and will begin to enforce strict
training rules Immediately so that
his team will be in shape by the time
the Columbia meet is held.
"The Coos Bay country is great
after you get into it, but hard to
reach,” said Hayward, yesterday.
On his way to Scottsburg, after rid
ing a weary two miles in the stage,
he tired of that mode of travel and
valked the remaining 34. On his re
.urn he took the boat from Marsh
leld -to Portland.
Hayward usually lecured at night.
The following afternoons he taught
he track men of each school the
udiments of efficient training. In
his way he had a chance to judge the
bility of the men he temporarily
rained and he says there are several
Ikely men who will enter the Uni
erslty next fall.
"Where men have gone to Califor
1 la and Stanford in former years, I
ind them contemplating entering
Oregon,” said Hayward.
With the Columbia meet only
three weeks away, Bill’s chief worry
is the development ot second and
third place men. He Baid yesterday
that he had one or two quarter men
whom he would train in the half, and
he would be strong in the distances
and middle distance^ but in the
sprints andoone of the field qvents he
would "be vtery weak.
SENIORS WILL WEAR GOWNS

been ascertained.
Want Faculty Gowned.
The members of the committee to
see the faculty concerning the wear
ing of caps and gowns by that body
have not been selected as yet. This
also has been a bone of contention
for each successive graduating class.
An effort is made to get the faculty
to conform to this rule but so far the
attempts have been unsuccessful. It
is hoped by the seniors, however, this
year that they will see the matter In
the right light and that they will
see the Idea of conformity that it will
lend the occasion as well as the add
ed dignity and stateliness.
The bulletin board which the class
recently voted to present to the Uni
versity has been erected in front of
Deady Hall in a conspicuous place
which will be used for announce
ments that are of the Interest to the
classes and the students in general.
The board Is divided into five sec
tions, one for each class and one large
compartment that Is reserved for
general announcements. The front
of the board is constructed of sliding
glass doors so as to protect the no
ices from the weather. Vernon Genn
has been appointed Royal Keeper of
. the Board and it will be his duty to
; see that the board is not abused and
to keep it in a respectable condition.
The chorus of 30 seniors, which
will consist of 15 men and 15 wo
men, to be used in connection with
the senior play is yet to be selected.
The caste has been announced for the
play.
