OVER SESSION
EPOCH IN COMMONWEALTH
CONFERENCES MARKED
BY VOTE
NEXT YEAR PLANS MADE
Probable That Juinor Week-End
and bommonwealth Will Be
United in Same Week Ac
cording to Present Plans.
The first regular session turned
over to the students as a number on
the program which was held during
the Sixth Annual Commonwealth
Conference held last Friday morn
ing marks a new epoch of student
part in these conferences. The con
ference Friday was held to consider
the advisability of combining Junior
Week-end and the Commonwealth
conference next year in order to not
only show the high school athletes
the holiday part of college but also
to give them an opportunity to see
some of the more serious side of col
lege life.
The attitude that the students
should hold towards the state and
her problems and also the benefits
to be derived and the part that the
students should take in the Com
monwealth exercises were also em
phasized by several of the speakers.
A play for the combination of Ju
nior Week-end and the Conference
was proposed by Vernon Motschen
bacher, which allows four days out
of the week for the two meetings,
the regular conference to come first
and the other festivities to follow.
Don Rice showed the advantages of
the new plan over the old and Dal
King spoke on the impression that
should be made on the high school
men. Fred Hardesty gave a talk on
the University’s attitude toward the
high school student and Nicholas
Jaureguy on the Students’ attitude
towards the state. A number of
other speakers spoke on various sub
jects of interest to students.
Special stress wits laid on all
these subjects In order to eradicate
any false impressions which arise
from the annual Junior Week-end.

It was argued that the side of Uni
versity life which is shown to the
high school students when they are
here for the inter-scholastic track
meet is an erroneous one and that
the impression which is often gained
by the students that college life at
Oregon is always one atrewno with
roses, is not the correct or proper,
idea that should be gainfed.
For this reason largely, a plan of
combining Commonwealth exercises
with the Junior class’ week-end has
been conceived which will give the
students from the prep schools a
chance to see both sides and at the
same time will allow them to take
advantage of the great opportunities
to hear the prominent speakers who
annually assemble here at that time.
Another subject which is of vital
interest to the students of the Uni
versity of Oregon and which was
taken up by Ben Dorris, manager of
the 1915 Oregana, was the subject of
student advertising. This matter
according to Dorris is one that has
heretofore been handled in such a
manner that the best results that
could be obtained have not been re
ceived for lack of a definite system.
In substitution of the methods
used in the past he proposed a plan
whereby a committee composed of
students should be placed In charge
of all University advertising and that
this committee should have power to
sanction all legitimate advertising
and the power to pass on what is le
gitimate University advertising and
what is not.
In the past, said Dorris, every pro
gram or publication that is gotten
out by the students is perimtted to
go ahead and secure all the adver
tising that is possible. The result of
this is that the official publications
such as the Emerald and Oregana,
when it comes to their advertising
lose money on the proposition on ac
count of the constant drain which
the merchants and business men are
subjected too.
The idea would be put the pow
er of censorship in this committee
so that the merchants would be in
formed as what advertising they do
will receive the student support and
attention. The sanction or the re
fusal of this committee in charge will
allow the merchant to see what are
the official advertising mediums of
the University.

sion. One of the most important ac
tions taken during the entire Com
monwealth conference is the one
taken here which looks forward to

will make provisions for handling
this growing question. Tills set of
resolutions will bring the University
and the Commonwealth conference a
great deal closer to the practical and
constructive side of our state prob
lems.

this Important move are Professor

Another important fact which de
veloped at this conference is the co
operation that has been assured from
the other Universities on the° coast
in the Commonwealth0 conferences.
The resolutions drawn pp in dbnnec
tion with the immigration question
are as follows:
“Whereas, The problems of immi
gration and employment are most
closely related, and
“Wereas, On account of the pres
ent unorganized condition of the
state of Oregon for meeting the prob

immigrants and
“Whereas, On account of the
grave significance of these problems
from the point of view of health,
morality and the American standard

“2—Drawing up legislative pro

WOMAN’S CONFERENCE IS
MARKED BY ADDRESSES
17 Prominent Women Speak on
Varied Subjects in
Meeting
The Woman’s Conference of ten
minute addresses on Commonwealth
service through ‘ vocations, was
marked by the presence of 17 promi
nent, influential women of Oregon,
women who are “doing things.”
Throughout both the morning and
afternoon sessions the speakers were
well attended.
Three of the morning addresses
were devoted to phases of art. Mrs.
Ellen. M. Pennell, instructor of His
tory of Art in the University, spoke
on “Art in the College.” After giv
ing some statistics of the amount and
kinds of art work given in American
colleges she concluded in saying that
the aim of the history course at the
University of Oregon was to give to
the student the very best art judg
ment, the soundest ability to recog
nize a beautiful thing and the en
joyment of that recognition.
“Landscape Art” was the subject
of Mrs. H. B. Toi'rey, wife of Dr.
Torrey of Reed College. In a most
delightful manner Mrs. Torrey told
liow our ideas of beauty in landscape
art had changed from the tree cut
like a duck or the water that spurt
ed from pipes to just the plain, ev
eryday beauty of nature.
Other speakers devoted their time
to different professions of women.
Emma Wold, another graduate of the
University of Oregon and a teacher
in public schools, emphasized the fit
ness of women for scientific work in
that she is careful in details, has a
greater amount of patience than
man, is precise in movements, has a
natural instinct for cleanliness1 and
has not “ruined her nerve” by smok
