n. OREGON EMERALD if 'f&M PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 19’} Volume XVI, No. 2 _:__ REGISTRATION BOOKS SHOW 690 STUDENTS PRESENT MARK REPRESENTS INCREASE OF 13% OVER LAST YEAR S’ ENROLLMENT TIFFANY STILL EXPECTS 800 Increase Due to Improvements and Additions to the Equipment • of the University When the registration book closed tonight, a total of 690 students had registered in the University. This makes an increase of 53 over the 637 mark which was reached Friday night. I Compared with the registration at the corresponding time last year, the present registration denotes an in crease of approximately 13%. Registrar Tiffany, who has observed the registraton for several years, says that he expects at least 800 to be en rolled before another week has passed. He says that next Monday will un doubtedly add many more names to the registration lists. The registration this year has ex ceeded our greatest expectations. With the withdrawal of the two schools of engineering, we did not ex pect the registration to show any such increase as it has shown. “I do not think there is any ques tion but that the registration will reach 800, and t may possibly go over that point. “If indications prove true, there I should be 75 or 100 new students reg ister at the beginning of the second semester. This would bring the total number of students for the year to 800 or 900. “The large increase is due, I be lieve, to the^ building activities of the University now going on. “Much difficulty is now being expe. rienced in finding sufficient class room accommodations. In one class there are five more students than the num ber of char^ that can be crowded into the room.” 58-YEAR OLD FROSH WOULD BE JOURNALIST * _ George M. Cole, Washington Rancher-, Desires to Continue Pursuit of Knowledge at Oregon Almost three scores of years have not proven insurmountable obstacles to the ambitions of George M. Cole, rged 58, of Husum, Klickitat County, I Washington, who has registered in ! the department of English as a spe cial student. Although registered in the depart ment of English, Cole’s real purpose in coming to the University was to take courses in the department of Journalism, in order to fit himself for the journalistic field, which he ex pects to enter on completing his col lege career. The manner in which Cole became interested in journalism is interesting. A yeai; ago he turned the manage ment of a farm over to his three sons and daughter and entered the Ore gon Normal School at Monmouth. Last winter he was detailed to “cover” a certain convention for a newspaper. He wrote the story and sent it to the newspaper for publication. Shortly after his story was returned to him with instructions to rewrite it. This incident made him determine in tak ing work in the University depart ment of Journalism. Cole was born August 10, 185G, i- ------- {Continued on page 4.) "JAUREGUY” TOO HARD A NUT FOR PROF. TO CRACK t Dr. Cloran Meets Waterloo in Pro nouncing Name of English Shylock Dl\ Timothy Cloran, Professor of Romance Languages in the Universi ty, and official jester of the faculty, is an authority on the pronunciation of French, but he struck a name the other day in his first year class which overtaxed his powers as a linguist. The owner of the moniker was none other than “Tony” Jaureguy, the financial chauffeur of the Emerald. When Dr. Cloran reached Jaure guy’s name on his roll he hesitated. “This must be a mistake,” said the Doctor. “How do you spell it?” “J-A-U-R^E-G-U-Y,” vouchsafed the Emerald manager. “How do you pronounce it?” was the next query. “Tony” pronounced it. “What language, may I ask, does your name come from, Mr. Jaure guy?” “French.” Dr. Cloran coughed and hurriedly assigned the conjugation of a verb to one of his students. WOMEN’S GLEEHASTEN VACANCIES TO BE FILLED Tryouts Will Be Wednesday From 3 to 6. Tours Are Planned The Women’s Glee Club held its first business meeting at 5 o’clock Mon day, in Professor Straub’s room. There are vacancies for only ten girls, and the tryouts will be Wednesday after noon from three to six in Mr. Ly man’s studio. It is urgent that all girls wishing positions attend. Mr. Lyman has been working hard all summer on the fllans for this year. He says he is very much pleased with the prospects, as they are better than ever. The club will start preparations now for its annual concert, to be given probably during Christmas vacation, and plans are also being made for an extended trip through Oregon, to be taken at the same time. After Christmas preparations will begin for the comic opera to be given by the combined men’s and women’s clubs Junior Week-End. During the year one practice hour a week will be held with the men’s club, to work up numbers which are to be sung at the college vesper ser vices. Mr. Lyman emphasized the fact that the music for these occasions would be exceptionally good. PROF. DUNN WILL LECTURE IN SALEM Frederic Stanley Dunn, Professor of Latin at the University of Oregon, Eugene, will deliver the first lecture of the Willamette University annual lecture course at Waller Hall, in Sa lem, today. > The lecture will be il lustrated and will treat of “Virgil’s Aeneid.” Prof. Dunn possesses an elaborate collecton of slides illustrat ing classical and literary subjects. He s able to prove that the modem car toonist was anticipated several thou sand years, and that the American jokes were appreciated by the an cients. Prof. Dunn was a member of the faculty of Willamette University for several years before he was called to the University of Oregon. FOOTBALL SERFS SLAVE UNDER BEZDEK’S LASH Three-Ton Squad Works Out Under Stringent Training Rules: Early to Bed and No Pipe-Dreams—Hesitation and Tango Taboo— Hayward Prepares to Do the Sherlock Holmes Stunt After Dark —“Bez” Out For Big Game This Season. By “String.” At practice Monday night Coach Bezdek got back to his old-time form. It sure seemed natural to hear him call out to the lagging Freshmen to “get a move on” There were so many of the boys late that the coach took up a great part of the afternoon in telling them their shortcomings. He let Tuttle get in his deadly work with the camera, and that bunch of hus kies, some thirty-four in number, weighed in > the neighborhood of three tons as they lined up before the cam era—fifty-four forty to be approxi mate. Isn’t it strange how figures will pile up to suggest sinister mean ings? To the average reader, on glancing over this little article, it will appear that he or she, as the case might be, will recognize something familiar about those figures. Of course! You hit it the first time. It brings back to your active mind the scenes of civil war times. Don’t you remember? Fifty-four forty was the line that meant fight in those days, and it is sure to mean that same thing here now. Then it was fifty four forty or fight, but now it is 54:40 and fight. The coach talked about the neces sity of good hard work on the part of everyone, as he has a green team and it will take good hard work to whip them into shape even if they all do ther part. What is more, he clamped the training lid down with a bang, and Bill Hayward was there to hear all about it. It is ten o’clock from now on for the boys- and all of the good old whiffs at the joy-smoke will be put in the discard. What is more, when the boys feel the inclina tion to show all of their class in the line of Tango and Hesitation learned in the home town at the nominal rate of foyr-fifty a lesson they had better put on the non-skids and be sure that they are using asbestos in the huDs for fear that Bill may be in the crowd. Bill is some on the gum-shoe, and he generally pipes all of that stuff when he is within four miles of it. Remem ber Eugene is a small town and he lives about in the center of it, so you will haveto go beyond the little DRY town down the valley. From now on it is nothing but the hard routine of work of sibnal prac tice, aiming to develop team work and speed. The coach has a bunch of new plays in his head that he doped out while watching carefully over some of the bunch that he has sent back to be made into Porates. JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT GROWS Special Advertising Courses are Of fered—Allen Pleased With Prospects Dr. Conklin’s course in the Psychol ogy of Advertising is also in connec tion with the Journalism, courses. El ementary Phychology is a prerequi site to this course, therefore the class is almost entirely composed of up perclassmen. Next semester, a course in the Practice of Advertising will be given under the auspices of the Port land Ad Club. A committee composed of Marshal N. Dana, R. D. Carpen ter and Merrill E. Reed, of Portland, will consult with Preseident Camp bell an dthe professors of Journalism to select special professors for cours es dealing with the advertising and the commercial side of the newspa per. The number of students takng Jour nalism in one or another of its phas es, is about one hundred. The proposed School of Journalism, which was to have been established this fall at Western Reserve Univer sity, Cleveland, Ohio, will not mate rialize, because Dan R. Hanna, owner of the Leader and the News, has withtdran his promised support of $10,000 a year for this school. Mr. Hanna gives as his reason for the withdrawal of his promise to President Thiving, of Western Re serve, that the University did not talk over the staff appointments with him, although an agreement to that effect had been made when his offer was made. ************ * First meeting of Orchestra in * * Villard Hall Tuesday evening at * * 7 o’clock, for purpose of electing * * new officers.

Modern methods of warfare have nothing on Cupid in the way of dead ly weapons. The little god’s painless wound-indicting darts laid low many a good man in college and alumni cir cles during the summer, and some of the women, too, received fatal in juries. Florence Bonnell, ’12, was married to Jacob Kamm, a member of a prom inent Portland family. Mrs. Kamm was a member of (phi Omega, and was leading lady in the Senior play of 1912. The wedding was a recent ca tastrophe. La Verne Apperson, the musical Iota Chi, was also entangled for eternity with Winifred St, John, of this city. In spite of his increased and over whelming responsibilities, Verne will continue his course in college. Alfred Skei, T4, and Alice Thurs ton, ’17, are also happy. A1 was a member of the Delta Tau Delta, Pres ident of the Dramatic Club, and a member of the Glee Club. He is at present at the head of the civics de partment of Eugene High School. Mrs. Skei is a member of the Delta Gam ma. It was rumored that Florence Thrall, T4, and Fred Stickles, a special stu dent, took a plunge during the sum mer, but Fred says it won’t be until October 27, when the knot will be tied at the Presbyterian church. Miss Thrall is a member of Chi Omega. Bernice Phillips, ’17, and Ira D. Staggs, ’14, have also decided that they can no longer live apart. The bonds will be welded at Baker, Ore gon, and after a short honeymoon the couple will include themselves in Port land’s population. And in spite of all this, there is an increase in the registration. OUTLOOK GOOD FOR “BLOOMIN’* BRITISH SPORT Fourteen Veterans Return and Ex Preppers Are Expected' to Show Class By Harry Kuck. Candidates for the University asso ciation football (soccer) team are called to their first practice Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock, on the base ball field. The team will practice Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4 as long as the gymnasium classes continue to use the field for outside work. There after practice will probably be Mon day, Wednesday and Friday. Soccer was established as a Uni versity sport last year. The first squad to represent the University in this game met Columbia University twice, and was able to hold the Portland in terscholastic champions to a tie each time. Since then soccer has grown in popularity about the campus. Of that squad all the men are back, without exception. In addition, the scores of Freshmen who will turn out for gymnasium work and who, as long as the baseball field is used will work at soccer as an exercise, will be watched for likely material. Three or four of them who have played soc cer in Portland are likely to join the squad at once. Crockett, a fourth year man who can make good in rather fast company, is here and is expected to turn out. Vosper, a (Continued on page 4.) BUILDING WILL BE BESIDE IIS KIND ADMINISTRATION OFFICES WILL HAVE MOST MODERN CONVENIENCES THEATRE IS PROVIDED Cork Floor on Second Story Will Re Innovation-Skylight Planned The new $100,000 Administration building for the University of Oregon, upon which work will begin in ear nest the 28th of September, is one of unique design and modern equipment, according to those who have seen the plans. The structure, 76x105 feet, located between the Presdient’s cottage and Kincaid Field, will consist of two sto ries and a basement. The first floor will contain a lecture hall large enough to accommodate over 800 peo ple. It will resemble a small theatre, having a full sized stage, 22x23 feet, and an orchestra pit. The room will be used for debates, class meetings, lectures, and for the staging of vari- ■ ous play®, produced from time to time by Professor Reddle. The University Museum and the offices of several of the Deans will also be maintained on this floor. The second floor will be for the U3e of the administrative offices. A lobby 50 feet square comprises the center of this story, with the administrative office facing it. In the west end will be the President’s private office, sten ographers’ and Registrar’s private of fice. On the north side will be the Registrar’s work room. This room will have seventeen wickets for the convenience of the students. In the east end are the business offices, hav ing in connection with them a large steel vault, in which all the records of the University will be kept The south end of the building will be par titioned off into a multigraphing room, telephone booths and a Univer sity postoffice. Ample light will be supplied for the entire building by a large skylight. I he basement will be provided with four class rooms, the disposition of which has not been made, several large store rooms, lavatories, etc. The entire second story will be laid with a cork floor, the first on the Uni, versity grounds. The building is also to be equipped with a complete system of vacuum cleaners, all of which are of the most modern type. A book lift, resembling a small elevator and large enough to carry a man, will be used to con vey miscellaneous material from the basement. Steward Johnson yesterday re marked that no detail has been spared to make our new Administration building one of the best of its type on the coast, and one of which we may be justly proud.
