f PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK » UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1914. VoL JVI No. * 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. ************ * TALKS TO REPORTERS * * Copy * * Use ordinary paper, 814 by 5% * * inches. * * Use typewriter. * * Leave space of two or three * * inches at the top of the page. * * Place your napie at the top of * * the story. * * Watch your punctuation. * ************ PRESIDENT BOYLEN MAKES APPOINTMENTS Four Vacancies in Student Council Filled; Meeting Will be Held Wednesday Evening President Boylen of the Student Body, has made four appointments, filling the vacancies left in the Stu dent Council by the absence of certain elected members.

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 one-half mile course. The number on 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.” B/HD IS TOlVE 26 MEN Each Will Get Sweater, Perhaps, Be fore the O. A. C. Game; Dance is Planned The Freshman bonfire, which was to have been the big feature of the rally before the Oregon-Whitman 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 (Continued on page 4.)
