EXTENSION STUDENTS
ALREADY COUNT 5D0
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR IS
200 PER CENT; ENGLISH A
POPULAR SUBJECT
800 IS EXPECTED NUMBER
Dr. Rebec Receives Applications for
Twenty-five New Courses; Work
Is Diversified
The enrollment in University of Or
egon Extension Department in Port
land is now 500, and if expectations
materialize, by the end of October
the total attendance will be 800, or
equal to the University of Oregon
Student Body proper, at Eugene.
'Last year’s attendance was 170,
making an increase of about 200 per
cent up to the present time.
Dr. Rebec is in charge of the Ex
tension work, and he says that the in
dividuals who are taking Extension
work are men and women from every
walk of life. Some of them, even,
are college graduates. The classifica
tion of the applicants required three
days.
The courses in English have thus
far drawn the greatest number of stu
dents. Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons,
instructor in this phase of the work,
has been conducting her classes in
Advanced Rhetoric in the Public Li
brary building once a week. Forty
five students are taking this course.
One hundred and ten were enrolled in
her class in Appreciation of Art in
Literature, held in Lincoln High
School. Mrs. Parsons is instructing
140 in Short Story Writing, also held
in the Library. Her work of teach
ing these 295 students will necessi
tate the employment of an assistant
to relieve her in her regular college
work.
Dr. Rebec has received applications
for 25 course®. At present work has
been offered in English, English Lit
erature, Public Speaking, German,
French, Contemporary History, Psy
chology, and Advanced Mathematics.
A minimum requirement of 12 appli
cations in one course is made. Five
classes in English will have to be
given if the demand is satisfied.
A variety of requests have come
to Dr. Rebec for the establishment of
new courses. These include applica
tions from dry goods firms for instruc
tion in Art add Fabrics, Taste in Col
ons, and various points of value to
salesmen. A Portland editor has re
quested the orgaization of a class in
Journalism.
The Gerfnan Literary Club is asking
for lectures on German institutions
and customs. These and other appli
cations are in addition to the 500 reg
ular applicants.
Saturday afternoon Dr. Rebec will
speak at the opening meeting of the
American Association of Collegiate
Alumnae, on “The Present Situation
in Europe.” He will also address the
literary branch of the women’s clubs
on October 16, on “The Slavic Races.”
ADDITION TO LIBRARY
DONE BY THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is the date set for
the completion of the new wing of
the new Library building.
The present reading room is to be
cleared of all books, except those used
for reference, leaving room for more
study tables.
The new wing contains steel stacks
with adjustable shelves, and the
stacks are separated by marble
floors on steel frames, making the
building fire-proof. An elevator will
open into a small study room on each
floor. The upper floors may be used
for private offices.
Eleven thousand dollars is being
spent for the equipment of the -new
wing.
CONFECTIONERY DEPARTMENT
OF Y1CJL RRINGS $663.65
Men Like Candy; Athletes Take to
Chewing Gum; Co-Eds Con
tribute Share
The “sweet tooth” of the men is
harder to satisfy than that of the wo
men of the University.
Such is the conclusion of Charles
W. Koyl, chief dispenser of Hershey’s,
Teddy Bars, et cetera, at the Y. M.
C. A. emporium in Deady Hall, who
says that of the Confections sold last
year, one-half were bought by those
of the male sex. The total sales for
the year were $663.65.
In point of popularity with students,
Koyl says that Teddy Bars hold first
place, with Hershey’s a close second.
Chewing gum, he says is sold mostly
to football men, and suggests that this
is due to Coach Bezdek’s edict of “no
sweets,” it being construed that this
order does not include Beeman’s and
Wrigley’s products.
The profit from the candy sales,
amounting to about $11.25 each month,
is used to pay for the Association
piano purchased two years ago. Six
ty dollars yet remains to be paid.
Koyl predicts that the present year
will l>e a banner year for candy sales.

GROSS COUNTRY RUN
AT CORVALLIS NOV. 7
Tryouts For Places on Team Will
be November 2; Many Old
Men Out
The first annual cross country race
between the “Big Six” colleges of the
Northwest is to be held at Corvallis
November 7. The tryouts for places
on the Oregon team will be held Mon
day, November 2, at 4:00 P. M.
This race is to be over a three and

each team has not yet been decided.
It is planned to have the race alter
nate each year between the Univer
sity of Washington, Washington State
College, Whitman, University of Ida
ho, Oregon Agricultural College and
the University of Oregon.
About thirty men were on the track
yesterday, and more will be out a little
later. From this bunch Hayward is
to pick the men to represent Oregon.
Payne, Langley, Bostwick, Nelson and
Huggins, all old men, should bid high
for places on the first track team of
the Varsity this year, and many Fresh
men are also among the crowd of
“Bill’s” prospective proteges.
Nightly practice is imp|oving the
form and general appearance of the
squad, and Oregon will not be an “also
ran” if present prospects are reli
able.
WOMEN’S LEAGUE TO HOLD
IMPORTANT MEETING
A meeting of the Women’s League
will be held in McClure Hall at 5:00
o’clock Tuesday. Plans will be dis
cussed for a reception to be given by
the Women’s League and Alumnae As
sociation on October 12, for the Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs of Oregon.
-The speakers at this meeting will be
Miss M. Ruth Guppy, Mrs. P. L. Camp
bell and Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons.
Dr. Lyma Abbott, editor of the Out
look, who had been secure dto lecture
at Washigton State College, has can
celled his engagement because he feels
that owing to the war in Eur6pe, his
editorial duties require his keeping in
closer touch with the Outlook.
INTER- CLASS TRACK
MEET IS OCTOBER 17
Freshmen Predominate in Numbers;
They Hope to Carry Away
the Honors
Good weather permitting, the inter
class track and field meet will be held
on Kincaid Field Saturday, October
17. A squad of men is now taking
daily workouts.
There is appreciable absence of up
perclassmen, a fact that i$ giving the
yearlings great hope of copping the
first meet.
Goreczky, of Columbia University,
is due in Eugene today and will prob
ably strengthen the Freshman ranks
in the sprints.
NINETY MEN EXAMINED
Mr. Hayward is Making a Physical
Survey of Freshmen and
Sophomores
“To make better men out of them,”
is what Mr. Hayward states is his
purpose in the physical examinations
which he is now conducting in the
Men’s Gymnasium. All of the Fresh
men and a majority of the Sopho
mores are to be examined within the
next month. The examination in*
eludes measurements of the body, no
tation of lung and heart action, and
tests of lifting power and hand
strength.
The idea, he says, is to divide those
who take the physical training into
three classes, so that those who have
weaknesses may take such exercise
as will develop those muscles which
need it. In this way a man gradually
improves and is graduated into the
next higher class.
Up to this time about ninety have
been examined.
The first school of fisheries in the
United States has been established it
Washington through the efforts of
United States Fish Commissioner
Hugh Smith.
OFFENSIVE RECORDERS OF
COR BLUNDERS TO REFORM
Ten Diseased Typewriters Are Being
Treated in a -Portland
Institution
Professor Allen and Professor Dy
ment expect much better and cleaner
copy from students of Journalism af
ter Monday.
Monday afternoon ten typewriters,
long occupants of the Journalism
rooms ih McClure, were sent up to the
Oregon Typewriter Company, coi£
ducted by E. F. Rudrauff. These ten
were typewriters in name only, as ev
eryone who has tried to write on them
in the last decade can testify—for
they wouldn’t write. Some of them
were broken and some rusted tight.
The carriages on some of them re
fused to slip, and some of them had
little habits of stopping at the middle
of the page, letting the letters pile
up on top of each other in a sense
less fashion.
They were most disappointing type
writers, these ten. After a beginning
student, following the Hunt system,
has hunted around and at last found
what seemed to be a comma, he usu
ally finds the machne has recorded a
question mark. Some of the machines
turned frontward but not backward.
Some of them wouldn’t turn at all.
But next Monday these ten type
writers will come back to the Jour
nalism rooms, from the Oregon Type
writer Company. Every machine will
be cleaned up, every grain of dust
wiped away and every rusty part
shined. They are going to be oiled,
adjusted, cleaned, dusted and repaired
when busted. And then, with a com
ma and not a picture of the Goddess
of Liberty or a blot on the landscape,
the wielders of the blue pencil ex
pect cleaner copy.
OAEGOI m DIES
IN EUGENE HOSPITAL
Lillian Gardner, a Graduate of 1913,
Was a Student of Exceptional
Ability
Lillian Lucille Gardner, ’13, died
Sunday at the Eugene Hospital at 2:00
P. M. The funeral was held today
from the Gordon-Veatch undertaking
parlors. Several of the students act
ed as pall bearers. At a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the Stu
dent Body, held yesterday afternoon,
arrangements were made for sending
a floral piece for the funeral. A reso
lution will be proposed before the Stu
dent Body to send a letter of condo
lence to Mrs. Gardner.
Miss Gardner, since her graduation,
has been teaching in Drain, Oregon,
where she lived with her parents.
Her record as a student has been
highly praised by her professors. She
studied Psychology and Philosophy
under Dr. Conklin, who says of her:
“She was, without doubt, the best
student I ever had, the most conscien
tious and most widely read. She used
to get permission to take extra studies
without getting credit for hem. She
was looking forward to doing gradu
ate work back East, and I was hoping
to get a scholarship for her at Clark
University, in Massachusetts.”

game, has been postponed until the
night of November 16th.
GLOOM CLOUDS SHOW
SOIL sue LINING
FOOTBALL SQUAD IN BETTER
TRIM, BUT CORNELL STILL
NURSES SPRAINED KNEE
NELSON MOURNED AS LOST
Strong Candidate for Center Position
Leaves College, but Risley Shows
Promise Under Bezdek
The first little ray of sunshine ap
peared upon Kincaid Field last even
ing. In spite of adverse circumstanc
es, the sky is unmistakably clearing.
Cawley and Powrie were unable to
scrimmage, but Teggart and Beckett
are apparently as fit as ever. Cornell
was out in a suit and called signals
for the Varsity a while, but Trainer
Hayward, is keeping him out of ac
tive work for a while.
These conditions, while not the best,
are in strong contrast to the situa
tion which confronted Coach Bezdek
on Saturday. He was unable, try is
he might, to gather two teams to
gether which would be capable of
furbishing good scrimmage practice.
Dick Nelson, who was looked upon
as a strong candidate for center, has
left college. It is not known definite
ly whether he will return or not. Un
der Bezdek’s watchful eye, Risley is
showing rapid improvement and prom
ises to give a good account of him
self.
The personnel of the backfield has
been shifted time after time of late.
Bryant at full and Parsons fet right
half appear to be fixtures, bat quar
ter and the other halfback job seem
to be open as yet. Monteith, Malar
key and Lyle Bigbee have been alter
nating at half, and Cornell, Sharpe
and Huntington at quarter. The coach
is determined to have an efflcieiit un
derstudy ready in case of injury to
Cornell.
In speaking of the line, Coach Bez
dek says: “The' line is improving,
boys, the offense is* better and your
defensive work is not so bad. To
night you are showing more fight, and
that’s what counts.”
The men on the training table are
being kept at work as late as possi
ble these nights, in order to make
up for time lost earlier in the sea
son. Three changes were made in
the T-Bone squad last night: Hunt
ington and Lyle Bigbee were added
and Sharpe dropped for the present.
GRIDS MU OPEN EVES
Ex-Diploma Chasers Will be Shown
Progress of University and Oth
erwise Entertained
The old alumni who come back to
Alma Mater next Saturday will see
that strange things have happened
around the old familiar places and that
they are entertained from early morn
ing, when the Frosh arise with fore
bodings of the traditional tug-of-war,
until late at night, when the last cou
ple leaves the dance at the Gymna
sium.
Saturday, October 10 is Home-com
ing Day, the underclass mix, the Ore
gon-Whitman football game, and the
Student Body dance in honor of the
returning graduates. These four big
affairs all in one day are arranged to
amuse all the students, but particu
larly the home-coming alumni.
Letters have been sent by Tom Boy
len, President of the Student Body,
to four hundred graduates in the Wil
lamette Valley and places not too far
away, inviting the former Oregon men
and women to “come home” next Sab
urday. “Guides” will be provided for
