The Students of the University of Oregon Extend Hearty Greetings to the State Fair Visitors OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEES UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1914. Volume XVI, No. 9 YEAR’S REGISTRATION . MAY REACH 8 REGISTRAR TIFFANY SAYS THAT HIGH-WATER MARK IN HIS TORY HAS BEEN REACHED ENROLLMENT IS NOW 720 Freshman Class Has 325; Number of Men Exceeds that of Women by Seventy-five ' Seven hundred and twenty students from all parts of Oregon and other states have entered the University this year, according to the latest re port from the Registrar’s office. Ex cept for the Freshmen, the enrollment by classes has not yet been composed. Three hundred and twenty-five regis trations are accredited to the wearers of the green, and Registrar Albert R. Tiffany believes that the mid-year en tries will swell the number to 400. The 1918 contingent is the largest Freshman class that has ever entered the University, and exceeds the “sev enteeners” by nearly 40. Although the total registration for last year went to 738, the Registrar believes that this year’s student body will go to over 800 by the second se mester. In speaking of the registration, Mr. Tiffany said: “I am extremely well satisfied with the showing made so Tar, and firmly believe that the num ber of this year’s students will es tablish a high-water mark in the Uni versity’s history. Although we lost a considerable number of students through the discontinuance of the en gineering course®, a large percentage of the engineering students are back and are taking other courses. We ex pect a large registration in February and are acrrying on an active cam paign among the Oregon high schools for more students.” To date, 400 men have entered, while the number of women is 325. Since last week there has been an in crease of nearly 25 in the total regis tration, the number at that time being %97. Y.M.G.A..mOGURES WORK FOR SIUDENTS Sixty Per Cent of College Men Work Their Way Through tho Uni versity of Oregon The helping hand of the Universi ty Y. M. C. A. is extended to the in coming Freshman the instant that he gets off the train. From that minute it is his aid when he wants work, his counsel when he wants advice, his club when he wants companionship, his book exchange when he has books to sell or buy, and his candy store when he wants a Hershey. All summer the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Charles Koyl, has been busy attending conferences and finding fall jobs for students. One hundred men were enabled to attend the Univer sity last year solely because of the work of the Y. M. C. A. employment agency. One hundred and fifty-five men se cured work last year through the Y. M. C. A. Although the majority (Continued on third page.) Oregon Sends Out More Than 100 Graduates Each June And They Make Good At Everything They Undertake SENIOR CLASS OP 1913 ON STEPS OF VILLARD HALL ATHLETIC STOCK HAS BULLISH TENDENCY RETURN OF VETERANS AND AP PEARANCE OF NEW MATE RIAL BRIGHTENS SKY Basketball Seems to besthe Only Sport that Has a Doubtful Future. By Harry Kuck. This promises to be one of Oregon's banner years in the realm of athletics. Judging from the material on hand, the Lemon and Yellow will not be greatly humbled in any sport. It is a little too early to prognos ticate the outcome of the football sit uation, but one thing is pretty well assured, and that is that no team is very apt to run up an overwhelming score on Coach Bezdek’s proteges. There are seven veterans on hand and a wealth of Freshman material. The old men are Captain Parsons, Bryant, Cornell, Malarkey, Weist, Cook and Beckett. The first four mentioned composed last year’s backfield, and they bid fair to keep their jobs this year. Cook and Beckett are picked for tackles, and Weist has the inside track for an extremity post. Promising Frosh candidates are Philbin, Hunting ton, Snyder Cawley, Mitchell, Mon teith, Teggart and Nelson. An aggre gation picked from the list will be both heavy and fast, but Coach Bez dek says the Freshmen lack experi ence and he is having a hard time to develop a punter. Basketball looks like the “Jonah” this year. There are only two men in school who have won their letters, Wheeler and Koch. This is discourag ing, especially so, since both Wash ington and 0. A. C. have a majority of last year’s squad on hand. At pres, ent Oregon has no basketball captain, and it is a matter of much specula (Continued on page 4.) v VARSITY’S WARBLERS TO BE GUESTS AT SALEM’S ANNUAL FAIR College Songsters Will Entertain Cherry City Throngs With Prais es of “Oregon”-Strenous Program is Arranged for 10 Glee Club Men Who Will Make the, Trip-Special Program to Be Given in Interest of the University Between the heats of the races or while the merry throng is viewing the diversified exhibits of the Salem State Pair on Thursday, the atmosphere will be intermittently flooded by the ring ing of ten clear voices which will, in song, extol the deeds of the Univer sity of Oregon. Even the brass lunged “speiler” shouting his wares will stop his oratory and be moved by the strains of “Hail, Oregon!” The men who will endeavor to dispense harmony are members of the Glee Club, who, at the invitation of the fair board, have consented to help along the festivities of Oregon’s Harvest Festival, and at the same time to represent the University on the big day. From the moment of their arrival in the Capital City until their de parture late at night the same day, they will be kept “on the go,’ accor ding to the program as it has been outlined. At the depot they will be nrfet by a delegation who will show them the town and the exhibits of the fair. They will be guests of the Commercial Club of that city for lun cheon. In the afternoon they will sing at designated places on the fair grounds. They are also slated to ap pear at a concert which will be given in the early part of the afternoon in the Auditorium Building. In order to enliven the crowd between heats of the races, the club will render a I few selections from the grand-stand. The climax of the activities will be reached in the evening, when a special program in the interest of the University will be given in the Edu cational building. The club will here render a forty-five-minute program. Speeches in behalf of the .University will intersperse the singing.

I OREGON JOURNALISM SCHOOL RANKS HIGH POSITION IS AMONG THE FIRST SIX Of THE 36 DEPART MENTS IN THE U. S. Demand Is Strong for Students Who Have Had College Training In Newspaper Writing A Department or Journalism that is among the first half dozen in the United States in enrollment, and that is also among the first half dozen in number and variety of courses of ferred is possessed by the University of Oregon. The enrollment this fall is more than 100, and the courses total 11. There are about 36 depart ments of journalism in the United States, and those that together with the University of Oregon make up the leading half dozen are probably the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York City, department of the University of Kan sas, Lawrence, Kansas; department of the University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo; department of the University of Wisconsin, Madison Wis.; and the de. partment of the University of Wash ington, Seattle, Wash. This is only the beginning of the third year of the Oregon department, and no graduates have yet been turned out. A demand that'could not always be supplied has existed, however, for undergraduates and for graduates of the University who have had a little work in Journalism. Of the graduates of 1914 who had had some Journalism, Henry Fowler is now city editor of the Albany Dem (Continued on third page!) Intelligence of the death of William Dyment, of Hamilton, Ontario, was received Tuesday by Colin V. Dyment, who is his youngest son. He is sur vived by five sons, all of whom were at the old home together this sum mer. Mr. Dyment was born in Onta rio, in 1835. MUCH-NEEDED REPAIRS ME ALMOST HNSKD $175,000.00 NOW BEING EXPEND ED TO GIVE INSTRUCTORS ROOM FOR CLASSES IMPROVEMENT TO BE MODERN New Administration Hall, Coating $100,000.00 Expectad to Take Care of Increased Enrollment Excavation work on the new Admin istration Building is on full swing. During the past week a score of men with horses and scrapers have been busy making the 76x100 excavation over which the new building will rise. The Bayajohn-Amold Co., of Port land,, has the contract for the work. When completed, the new structure will be one of the finest administra tion buildings on the Coast. Located on the south campus, between Kincaid Field and the President’s Home, the building will be the first part of the new “block” system, which has been outlined for the University campus by Architect Ellis F. Lawrence. The structure will consist of two stories and a basement. The base ment will be used for class rooms. A feature of the first floor will be an au ditorium of sufficient capacity to ac commodate 300 people. This room will be used for small assemblies and as a meeting place for University or. ganizations. The entire second floor will be de voted to tiie administration offices. A lobby 60 feet square will comprise the center of this floor. All of the admin istration offices will face off from this lobby, a feature in construction that will greatly facilitate registration at the beginning of the semesters. In the west end will be the President’s pri vate offices and the offices of his pri vate secretary and stenographer. The north side will be given over to the Registrar, to be used as a work room. This room will have 17 wickets for the convenience of the students. On the east end will be the business offices. (Continued on third page.) EXPOSITION PAPER FAILS TO MATERIALIZE Colin V. Dyment, After Investigating Proposition, Finds It Unfeasible Due to Requirements of Fair - \ No newspaper will be published at the Panama-Paciific Exposition in San Francisco as an exhibit of the depart ments of journalism of the United States This conclusion has been reached by the University of Oregon, which took the initiative in investigat in the idea, and by the Bureau of Ed ucation of the Department of the Inte rior, which suggested it. The plan of a live fair exhibit, to consist of an exposition daily with full press report, a full fair grounds service, advertisements, and a paid grounds circulation, was suggested to the members of the National Asso ciation of Teachers of Journalism in May. The University of Oregon de partment, being nearer San Francis co, at once volunteered to look into the project, and if feasible, to take (Continued on page 4.)
