It is diffi eult tu tell just when the idea or iginated for undoubtedly women of dif ferent institutions were agitating and d seussing the very same question: how to bring women students into eloser relationship. In the University of Oregon, the Lea gue was formed in May, 1912. Its ob i jeet was to raise $50,000 for a woman's building a building, exclusively for the use of women students: with rest rooms, study and assembly haH, etc. A well advertised meeting brought out nearly every woman in the University, at which Miss Kleanor Mct'laine, of Silverton, was elected president: Miss [Hazel Tobze. of Oregon City, secretary: 1 Miss Minnie i'oley, of Ashland, treas urer; Miss Kllen Van Yolkingburg, of I'latskanie, seargeant-at-arms.

OH, MY, NO! NO MORE THAN LAST YEAR HAS SAME BROKE FEELING But Those Stories of His: Ah! They Pour Off His Tongue Just as When He Was Rotten Egged a Year Ago. J. Klwood Morgan, who was rotten egged in Eugene a year ago this spring, is back in Eugene again, still denying kinship to the late J. 1‘ierpont, and will remain here until unforeseen eiremnstances force him away. He hasn't " a bean in his jeans.” But he still loves Eugene as muck as ever Oil his former visit the weather, everyone will remember, was very hot, especially for one of Morgan’s temperament, lie carried many fond remembrances of his former visit in Eugene. He is now vis iting among some of the many friends he made here. Notable among these friends is the former Chief of 1‘oliee Bristol. Morgan rolled into Eugene late Mon day on the Shasta Limited. He was just descending from the coach, or to be more exact, from the top of the coach, when to his surprise he found Chief of 1‘o liee Christensen waiting for him. That was queer for Morgan had not written of.his coming. “Hello, Morgan," said the chief. “Hello,” answered Morgan. • “How long arc you going to stay'.'" in j quired the chief, curiously, for all chiefs j are curious: curiosity is one of the forms \ of police-bravery. “Oh, as long as 1 want to, l guess.” answered Morgan, gruffly. Morgan al ways talks gruffly to policemen. The chief answered him with a look that meant "Ell just keep my eye on: you.” And ever since Morgan received that' look he lias been seeing things in his sleep. Morgan hunted up some of his more congenial friends, especially some of the 1. \V. W.’s, who, at present, are living down in the "Jungles.” \ When last seen Morgan was telling these protagonists his autobiography since they had last seen him, Morgan personally has that delicious and not un rare "I'm the guy that did this and that” atmosphere about him. That’s what makes him so popular among the I. W. W.’s. Siuee Morgan left Eugene about a year ago he has had many adventures, in fact he could put some of our five cent weekly "hashers” to shame. During his Ulysses-like wanderings about the “universe,” Morgan alighted in that portion of the United States of America which at the present time seems infected with a kind of Mexicanitis; to wit, Colorado. While there Morgan re ceived innumerable bullet wounds about j the body, which to all uppearances must have healed by this time; he was thrown into a jail, and while there three at tempts were made' to poison him. But all romances have a way of es cape for the Don Quixote through iron doors, and not at all strange, Morgan, by some miracle escaped. Instead of fleeing from the U, S. A. Morgan went to Salt Lake where he started to make a speech on the street. But his fame ] had preceded him, and soon he was con fronted by two sheriffs and Deputy Sher- \ iff East who had just about “nabbed” him, when a woman appeared in a win dow of a bordering building. Ordinarily a woman would not cause a stir, but this woman was different, as all women of romance are. She had a shotgun in her hands, and warned the sheriffs not ‘‘to touch a single hair” on Morgan's head. In the riot that followed Morgan over powered the three sheriffs—but to no avail. Fourteen more appeared on the scene of battle. Just when Morgan thought that all hope was gone a second Joan of Arc appeared and thrust a ,3S Colt’s automatic into Morgan’s hands. Needless to say Morgan vanquished the fourteen sheriffs, and retired with the laurels of victory. But his victory was short lived. Again he was jailed. But a third Joan of Arc espoused his cause. Mrs. Celia Florence, the owner of the atrical interests iu Salt Like City, put up a bond of $12,000 for Morgan’s ap pearance on July 21. Evidently Morgan is "in strong” with the weaker sex. This modern epic would continue in- ! definitely were Morgan allowed the uu- j alienable right of the freedom of speech (Continued on page 9) OREGON TRAIL A CLUB FOR-GIRLS GRAND CAMP IS WOMEN S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY DR. STUART IS ORGANIZER Development of Better Women the Purpose—“No Heels, No Rats,’’ Part of Pledge of Followers of the Trail. The Women’s Athletic Association of the University of Oregon is the Grand Camp of the organization of Oregon Trail Girls which is under the able and efficient direction of Dr. Bertha Stuart, in charge of Women’s Physical Educa tion at the University. This organization was brought into being to meet the phsyical needs of the High School Girls of the state who, outside of the schools of Portland, are without gymnasia, play grounds. or organized sports. The pioneer history of Oregon gives background for its setting. To live the life of the trail requires strength, en durance, courage, loyalty and skill, qual ities which will be developed by the sports and physical activities listed for tumor points. A copy of the plan is as follows: Each school or group of girls shall constitute a camp: each sport a Camp Circle. The Camp shall be governed by a leader who will be called Camp Leader, and each Circle by a leader yho will be called Pathfinder. There shall be a meet ing of each Camp Circle twice a month, and general meeting of all Camp Circles once a month. This general meeting is the Chief Council Eire, at which all Oregon Trail Girls may be present. The. awarding of honors, the initiation of new members, are a closing cere mony. Each Camp will choose its name, plan its own ceremonies, and conduct its own meetings, subject to the approv al of the Grand Camp. (Continued on page D)
