AT SENIOR MEETING
1915 MEN DEFY PRECEDENT AND
DECIDE TO ADOPT CHEAPER
FORM OF HEADGEAR
HARDESTY HAS LID FOR SALE
Astoria Orator Champions Ancient
Custom In Fierce Word Battle;
Co-Eds Deprived of Suffrage
The Senior sombrero took the count
at yesterday afternoon’s meeting of
the prospective graduating class. The
picturesque form of headgear adopted
by the class of 1912 and worn by each
succeeding Senior class up to this
year, will be seen no more upon the
campus or at least it will not be the
official mark of Seniordom.
The present cost of high living is
largely blamed for the action taken
yesterday. Most of the men in the
class were willing to continue the cus
tom, but lacked the five metal discs
required for the purchase of a good
sombrero.
Equal suffrage also received a
knockout jolt from the 1915 politicians.
On the first ballot as to whether or
not the sombrero should be abolished,
the feminine contingent registered an
overwhelming vote in favor of the
sombrero. The men, however, main
tained that inasmuch as the women
would not have to wear the hats, they
should not be allowed to prescribe
them for the men. The masculine fac
tion being somewhat in the majority,
the co-ed vote was thrown out and the
anti-sombreroists wont out on the sec
ond ballot by a large majority.
Fred Hardesty, who had already ac
quired a sombrero, made a pathetic
plea for the much-abused article of era
nial adornment, but the impassioned
words of Jim Donald, Gene Good and
Tony Jaureguy in favor of its abol
ishment carried the day.
The Seniors decided, however, to
adopt some distinctive style of millin
ery. President Ben Dorris was au
thorized by a later motion to appoint
a committee to investigate the prob
lem and make a recommendation to
the class at its next' meeting. Fred
Hardesty, Gene Good and Jim Donald
were appointed on the committee.
Treasurer Jaureguy’s report showed
that there is at present $25 in the Sen
ior coffers. A motion by Fred Har
desty that the news of the meeting
be censored before appearing in the
Emerald, perished through lack of a
second.
Another meeting of the class proba
bly will be called by President Dorris
next week.
WORSHIPPERS SFEK WISDOM’S
SHRINE BY AERIAL ROUTE
“McClure Bridge” Is Latest Campus
Structure—Frosh “Fem” Thinks
It’s a Pergola
“Oh won’t that be a cunning per
gola,” rhapsodized a Freshman maiden
in front of McClure Hall yesterday.
She was gazing at the framework
of the “suspension bridge” which has
been improvised for the use of stu
dents wishing to enter that building.
The new structure spans the ditch
a part of the improvements on the
which is being dUg to accommodate
the underground tunnel which will be
University heating system.
For the next few weeks students
will find access to McClure much as
knights and ladies of old entered their
castles. The mote is there although
the bridge is stationary rather than
of the “draw” variety.
It was ready for traffic this morning.
However, following the motto, “safe
ty first,” the carpenters this afternoon
added a railing on each side, in order
that the students will not walk off
into the ditch below. And Springfield
has been dry almost a year!
PRESIDENT TO SPEAK
“Individual and Social Complex” Is
Subject at Services Next
Sunday
The first vesper services of the
year will be held next Sunday after
noon, in Villard Hall, from 4:30 to
5:30. President Campbll will deliver
a short address on “The Individual
and the Social Complex.”
Special music will be furnished by
soloists and by the Vesper Choir com.
posed of the combined Men’s and Wo
men’s Glee Clubs. These services will
occur the first Sunday of each month,
and to some extent will take the place
of the Thursday night meetings held
heretofore.
There will only be weekday meet
ings when there is a special subject
to be presented. There will probably
be about twelve of these special meet
ings. Included in these will be lec
tures on ‘The Divinity of Christ,”
“The Immortality of the Soul,” “Ser
vice and Faith,” “Christianity and the
Modem Church,” “Some Effects of
Alcohol,” “Coffin Nails,” “Class Room
Honesty,” and “True and False Ide
als.”
Delta Gamma entertained Saturday
night with a dance in honor of their
Freshmen.
THURSDAY ISSUE OF EMERALD
GOES TO SALEM’S ANNUAL FAIR
“Fair Edition” to be About 3500 to be Circulated Among the Vis
itors for the Purpose of Showing University Life, Work snd
Activities to All Parts of the State.
Portland Day at the State Fair! To
those who are in any way connected
with the Emerald, this statement
means considerable, for it is with
added interest that the Emerald staff
is engaged in the work of publishing
the “Fair Issue.” Thursday is the
day given over by the Fair committee
for the display of the University, so
in order to be on hand among the first,
the next issue of the Emerald will be
published Wednesday evening. And
to judge by the work being put upon
the “Fair Issue,” it will be suggestive
of this school in every particular.
Present indications point to a large
circulation of the paper there, over
2,000 copies being ordered. This, with
the present local subscription, will
bring the output of the “Fair Issue”
up to about 3,500 papers. Containing
articles on the various phases of Uni
versity life, all suggestive of the ac
tivities here, the Emerald will present
to the people of the state a compact
view of University life, distributed
among the throngs at Salem, it is with
assurance that the Emerald will be
met with the approval of all.
Football and Track
Star Returns Late
SAM COOK
Sam Cook, left tackle and weight
heaver on last year’s football and
track teams, answered the prayers of
the rooters by registering in college
today. When Sam sauntered onto
Kincaid Field, “Bill” Hayward heaved
a sigh of relief, and it is rumored that
Coach B'ezdek spent the first restful
night he has enjoyed since the season
opened.
The jovial brunette athlete has been
summering near Cdeur d’Alene, Idaho,
where he held a forest ranger’s job
which kept him from reporting on
time. He now weighs only 195 pounds
when attired to go out calling. Al
though this is about ten pounds shy
of Sam’s normal displacement, the
coaches sent him to the training table
his first night out, and they hope to
add the extra upholstery to his ribs
after a few days’ diet.
UNIVERSITY DAY SEI
FOR OCTOBER 29TH
Dr. Hodge and H. B. Miller Will Speak
at Manufacturers’ and Land
Products Show
University Day at the Manufactur
ers’ and Land Products Show in Port
land is October 29. The University
has been asked to furnish the pro
gram for one day at the fair. The
speakers the University is planning
to send are Doctor Hodge, who will
talk on Agricultural Education, and
H. B. Miller, who has been asked to
give an outline of the industrial sur
vey which he has made of the state.
The University of Oregon Glee Club
will probably sing.

SEVENTEEN SOCGER-ITES ENLIST
WITH G. V. DYMENT FOR PRACTICE
Experienced Exponents of “H-inglish Spee-ort” Report for Tryo
uts • Two Gardes With 0. |A. C. Are Likely • Multnomah and
Willamette May Play Oregon - Eleven Old Men Determined
to Defend their Lest Year’s Posts Against "Frosh’, Entrants
With eleven men of last year’s soc
cer team back in the University, Or
egon’s prospects for a successful year
are of the very best. Besides the old
men, the Freshman class contains
some material that should develop
into University caliber by the time
games are to he played.
Of the men who played last year,
Tuerck, Nelson, Pearson, Spellman,
Ralston, Arnspoker, Campbell, Boy
len, Dinneen and Ford have already
made their appearance on the cam
pus . Many of last year’s squad are
out on the lower campus preparing
for the coming season.
Mr. C. V. Dyment, who is cpach
of the soccer team, spoke of the work
for the season and said: “There is a
digenence in starting work with a
dozen experienced men and in begin
ning with only two ,as was the case
last year. Gorescky, of Columbia,
and Sheehy, of Jefferson High, are
two guards who should make good
competition for the Varsity players.
Hazeltine, of P. A., is also an expe
rienced man who will bid for a place
on Dyment’s squad.
A letter has been sent to Mr. E. J.
Stewart, at O. A. C., for two games,
one to be played on each campus.
Columbia is anxious to make soccer
an annual event with Oregon. It is
probable that games will also be ar
ranged with Multnomah and Willam
ette, although arrangements have not
yet been perfected.
At the first practice last week, sev
enteen men were out, and it is esti
mated that by the end of the week
two teams will be in action.

Association has Membership of About
60, Who Are Planning Events
For the Year
The Eugene Association of Univer
sity of Oregon Alumnae held the last
meeting of the year at the Delta Del
ta Delta house Saturday afternoon,
September 26. Miss Mabel Kuyken
dall, Miss Mozelle Hair and Mrs
James Gilbert, alumnae members,
of the Delta Delta Delta, were hos
tesses, and they were assisted by Mrs.
L. E. Bean and Miss Greta Bristow.
Officers were elected for the ensuing
year and many new plans discussed.
Miss Ann Whiteaker was chosen Pres
ident, Mrs. O. F. Stafford Vice Pres
ident, Mrs. Edna Datson, Secretary
Treasurer, and Miss Greta Bristow
Corresponding Secretary.
The State Federation of Woman’s
Clubs is to be in conference in Eugene
October 12, 13, 14 and 16, and it was
decided that the local association
should co-operate with the Women’s
League of the University in giving a
reception for the visiting delegates
and clubs of the city in the Men’s
Dormitory Thursday afternoon, Octo
ber 15.
The new President appointed a spe
cial committee, consisting of Mrs. Ed
na Datson, Mrs. L. E. Bean, Mrs. O. F.
Stafford and Miss Howell, to confer
with a committee from the Women’s
League and to make arrangements
for entertaining the guests.
During the past year the local as
sociation has reorganized and had at
the last meeting in May between fif
ty and sixty members. The social
committee arranged for all the meet
ings of the year and provided places
of entertainment and programs. This
committee instituted a precedent last
year for the future alumni reunions
at commencement time.
The function committee arranged
for papers and discussions during the
year on subjects vital to the Univer
sity. This committee also did pub
licity work throughout the state, send
ing articles to the Oregonian, and oth
erwise putting University interests

MATERIAL FOR TRACK
LOOKS GOOD TO “BILL
BUT NEW MEN MUST SHOW
THEIR STAYING QUAL
ITIES, HE SAYS
Inter-Class Track Meet to be Staged
On Kincaid Field Oc
tober 17
Two score candidates were out on
Kincaid Field last night in response
to the first call for track practice.
With only one or two exceptions, they
were all new men and such a large
turnout at this time of year speaks
well for the prospects of a fine Fresh
man team. Some of the Freshmen
who were the more prominent in prep
school athletics have not ye treported,
but their presence will materially
strengthen the squad. Muirhead, the
famous all-rouhd athlete from Go
lumbia University, at Portland, and
Wilson, the sprinter from Washington
High, are among this number.
“The work for some time will just
Hayward, “and if they will only stay
out I will be satisfied. It is too early
as yet to make any predictions as to
the value of the material among the
first year men, but there is no reason
why some mighty good track men
should not be developed from a squad
of this size. The crowd out tonight
was composed largely of Freshmen,
and many of them have had but little
experience, but it is a long time till
next spring, and if they’ll come out
for practice everything will be fine.
“The work for some time wil just
be for the purpose of preparing the
men for the harder grind on the cross
country course. Some time later in
the year there is to be the first con
ference cross-conutry run, and it is
absolutely necessary that training tor
it be begun at once. We are also
going to hold an interclass track meet
on the 17th of October. That will be
the first time that we have ever tried
to stage an event of that kind so ear
ly in the season, but if the weather
holds reasonably fair, I don’t think
we will have any trouble. Tell the fel
lows, and especially the Freshmen, to
come out and to do their best. That’s
all I ask.’’
Sam Michael went to Portland to
transact interest in the Glee Club. He
will return to the University the end
of the week.
OBMULTM
GUME IS CANCELLED
TANGLE WITH AGGIE ROOKS AL
SO GOES UP IN SMOKE
COLUMBIA 0. IS ONLY HOPE
Sam Cook Brings Sunshine to Vanity
Camp; Secret Practice Now
Begins
By Harry Kuck
There will be no game with Mult
nomah Club on October 3rd. This was
definitely decided today when Grad
uate Manager Tiffany received a wire
from Portland saying that it would
be impossible for the club to meet Or
egon this early in the year.
The Freshman game with the O. A.
C. “rooks” has been discarded, also.
“Doc” Stewart is determined that the
game will not be played on Wednes
day and Coach Bezdek is just as de
termined that it will be played on no
other date this year.
The only hope for a preliminary
game before the regular schedule
commences is a game with Columbia
University on October 3rd. Graduate
Manager Tiffany is in hopes of ar
ranging for this game. Columbia al
ways has otte of the strongest inter
scholastic teams in Portland, and this
game would be welcomed by coach,
players and rooters alike. Coach Do
bie, of Washington, has made a prac
tice’of playing one or two prep schools
each year before launching into his
schedule. Last Saturday Washington
met Aberdeen High School, defeating
them 34 to 6. This is the first time a
prep school has ever scored a clean
touchdown on a “DcA&Ie" team.
Local football fans are elated over
the arrival on the campus and on the
football field of Sam Cook. This hero
of many a bloody mix arrived yester
day, and was out on the field for prac
tice this evening. He is fit as a fid
dle and ought to strengthen Bezdek’s
line materially.
Coach Bezdek ordered secret prac
tice for Monday night and consequent
ly local enthusiasts were denied their
daily peep at Oregon’s hopefuls. There
will probably be a good deal of the
secret work done between now and
the Whitman game on October 10th.
PROF BOYNTON LECTURE
Gives Talk on Science and Faith In
Portland Before Y M. C. A.
Professor W. P. Boynton lectured
in the Portland Y. M. C. A. on Sci
ence and Faith, last Thursday after
noon. This same lecture was given
at the Ministerial Obnference held
during the last Summer School. Pro
fessor Boynton’s lecture was sched
uled for next Sunday, but as that is
the day set aside by President Wil
son as a day of prayer for peace, an
other date was arranged.
There was keen competition, Pro
fessor Boynton states, for at the same
time there was a temperance meet
ing, a talk by Governor West, and a
Methodist meeting, addressed by their
Bishop. But in spite of these other
attractions there were about 140 in
attendance.
The following is a brief summary
of the lecture: “Science assumes as
its foundation, the supreme value of
verified facts, and the essential unity
and consistency of the universe Ap
plying these fundamental principles
to th« problem of faith, the influence'
of Christianity as a force making for
progress and righteousness in society
and in the individual life is unques
tioned as a fact, while to assume that
such an influence could be based upon
fraud, whether intentional or not,
