v* OREGON PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1814. Volume XVI, No. 5 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. EU6EHE JHUHNAE MEET III Till DELI HOUSE MISS WHITEAKER PRESIDENT, MRS. STAFFORD VICE if PRESIDENT # -<1 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 before the people. (Continued on page 4.) 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, (Continued on page 4.)
