Ben Dorris Says Students Will be-Can
vassed for Remaining 1915
Oreganas
The Senior class of 1914 will con- j
tinue the custom of wearing the som
brero as the official hat. This decis
ion was reached by the “would-be
graduates” after deliberation at the
class meeting held in Dr. Schafer’s
room Tuesday night. The committee
appointed by Prexy Dorris to investi
gate the matter of obtaining a substi
tute for the traditional sombrero re
ported their inability to unearth a
hat which would be fitting and proper
for all occasions and still meet the
aesthetic requirements of the Senior
men. Several styles were presented,
but the sombrero was finally retained
as the most suitable.
President Ben Dorris made his re
port as manager of the 1915 Oregana.
There is at present some $400.00 in
outstanding bills, and 300 books yet
to be sold. Committees from the class
will canvass the Student Body and sell
the remaining Oreganas at reduced
rates. The two committees appointed
were: Anthony Jaureguy, chairman;
Millar McGilchrist and Earl Blackaby;
Lois Parks, chairman; Velma Sexton
and Rose Sieler.
It was also decided to hold a lot
tery dance, and a committee of Bert
Jerard, Hazel Ralston and Henry Hei
denreich, was appointed to make ar
arrangements for the affair.
FACULTY WRITE BOOKS
Some Are Used As Texts. Two Cop
ies of Each Placed in the
Library
During the past few years there
have been about 180 books and maga
zine articles, covering almost every
• line of work in the University and
many lines of world activity, such as|
theories of government, the making of
good roads, etc., written by 30 mem-|
bers of the faculty, past and present.
Some of the books, among which are
Professor Sweetser’s “Key and Flora,”
and a trigonometry text by Professor
Frink, a former Professor of Math
ematics at the University of Oregon,
are used as text-books at Oregon and
at other schools.
Mr. Douglas, the University of Or
egon Librarian, states that most of
the books and articles are in the Uni
versity of Oregon Library. He says
that the Literary Department desires
two copies of each book published by
students and faculty members, one
copy for the general circulation and
one for the collection of books about
Oregon life and activities of and
books written by Oregon people.
WORK PROGRESSES ON NEW
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Both Mr. Doyajohn and Mr. Ar
nold. the contractors o£ the new Ad
ministration Building, were down from
Portland Wednesday, and stated that
they were well satisfied with the pro
gress made.
All the concrete fills for the foun
dation will be in soon, and then work
will be commenced immediately on the
first floor of the building. All the
plumbing in the foundation has been
completed. About 35 men are now
working on the fills.
"DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES”
MISLEADS MANY. HE SAYS
Dr. Schmidt Declares Americans Do
Germany Grave Injustice by Mis
translating Song
“Deutschland, Deutschland, uber al
les.”
The average American, according
to Dr. Schmidt, does a great injus
tice to the German people when he
interprets this national German song
as expresing Teutonic supremacy over
all the world. “It only expresses,”
says Dr. Schmidt, “that patriotic fer
vor is the biggest thing in the heart
of the German.”
STUDENTS WILL CRAWL
TO AID VARSITY BAND
NOVEMBER 14 DATE PICKED, BUT
SHIFT MAY BE MADE FOR
SEATTLE TRIP
Jerard, Vosper and Hyde are Promot
ers; Hungry Seven Will Fur
nish Own Music
“The date has been set and the com
mittee appointed for the biggest and
best dance of the year,” said Bert
Jerard today in speaking of the Band
dance. Jerard himself, together with
Ernest Vosper and Maurice Hyde, who
constitute the general committee, have
decided on Saturday evening, Novem
ber 14, as the time for this event. It
is to be informal and is to be held in
the Men’s Gymnasium.
The committee on features, with
Merlin Biatley as chairman, and with
Wallace Eakin, Bert Peacock, Glen
Shaver. Katherine Stanfield, Ruth Dor
ris and Hazel Ralston as co-members,
have plans, they say, which will as
tound even those who are expecting
original features At present, how
ever, they refuse to divulge them.
The music is to be furnished entire
ly by the band, and the entire band.
The committee on this important
phase of a real dance is made up of
Maurice Hyde, Vern Apperson, Henry
Heidenreich, Elton Loucks, Arvilla
Beckwith, Joe Moorhead and Virginia
Peterson. Maurice. Hyde, who has
long ago shown Oregon that his mid
dle name is music, is acting chairman
of this committee.
Clark Burgard, Bert Lombard, Wal
ter Church, Larry Mann, Madge Bar
ry, Laura Jerard and Helen Johns
will see that there will be present
plenty and desirable patronesses.
Real decoration is assured by the
large committee for that purpose.

man; Charlie Fenton, Helen Wiegand,
Kenneth Robinson. George Colton,
Mildred Riddle, Merle McCloskey, Ir
win Potter, Frank Scaiefe, Frances

Hall will have charge of the punch
booth.
Programs are to be provided for
by Jessup Strang, Sam Michael, Riita
Fralev, Marjorie McGuire. Joe Shee
han, Fred Hardesty and Kate Schaf
fer and Marsh Goodwin.
Many will recognize the date, No
vember 14, as being the day of the
Oregon-Washington game in Seattle.
With this fact in mind, those who are
in charge of the dance are prepared
to postpone its date in case such ac
tion should be made necesarv by a
large exodus of students to Seattle.
Otherwise the big affair may be ex
pected on the fourteenth.
It is planned to make the band
dance an annual affair.
GETTING A CO-EDUCATION
PROF. El HULM SPEAKS
Professor of History at Idaho Ad
dresses Assembly on
Art
Edward M. Hulm, Professor of His
tory at the University of Idaho, de
livered the assembly address yester
day morning in Villard Hall, on the
subject, “Relations of Art to Life."
"Art comes out of life. Life is
the subject matter of art,” said Pro
fessor Hulm in his opening remarks.
“And life is seen through visions of
diierent angles and so interpreted.
This interpretation or vision comes
through three forces.”
The actions of these forces were
then discussed by Professor Hulm*
The first taken up was the Force of
the Age in which the artist lives. How
this force affects the artist was shown
by the division of the centuries into
the periods of the prevailing tenden
cy, as for example the Greek Age
and ages of painting, drama and es
say.
The next in order was the Force of
the Nation. That nations are not dif
ferent in blood because of cosmopol
itanism, but separated from each
other through the inheritance of mem
ories, a cherished past and an inspira
tion of the future, was the point made
by the speaker; and according to him
this difference in nations causes a
force on the artist that results in a
definite differentiation in the realms
of art. Or specifically, Erench music
is differentiated from German music
through the force of the nation.
“But thirdly and by far the most
important,” concluded Prof. Hulm, “is
the force of the individual. Individu
ally is the most precious thing in the
world. Three men. as for example El

WEIGHTS OF TWO TEAMS EQUAL
—GEM STATERS HAVE FAST
BACK FIELD
Only Four Old Men Missing From
Griffiths’ Squad, and Letter
Men are in Evidence
By E. R. Kay. «
Coach Griffiths, of Idaho, will meet
Oregon in Saturday’s game with an
old and experienced crew. There are
eleven letter men on the squad, only
four old men being missing: Knud
son, half; Johnson, end; Lockart, half;
and Favre, guard. To make up for
the Iobs of these vets, Coach Grif
fiths has Johnston, who was not eli
gible to play last year, and also subs
of last year qlong with the new re
cruits from the Freshman class.
The odds are against Oregon as
they stand, as counted in scores of
this year’s games, but the conditions
under which these were played dis
count all score dope. In the Idaho
Montana game, Coach Griffiths made
a general shift of the lineup, because
of the fact that the field was in such
condition that machine work counted
for little. All stress Was laid on
making the line fast and defensive
playing was emphasized. The value
of this form was shown in that Pur
dy, of Idaho, seldom punted over ten
yards on account of the heavy mud.
In the backfield, Griffiths will play
Burns and Ross as halves. Burns is
fast, is playing his fourth year, and
weighs about 160 pounds. Ross was
a sub last year, but is reported fast.
Ross^ weighs about 170. Brown is an
old timer, this being his third year at
fullback. It is certain that Griffiths
will shift his backfield as he did in
the Montana game and use Hamilton
and Williams, who are heavy and fast,
in some part of the game. This is
Purdy’s second year at quarter. Jar
dine is working as second quarter
to Purdy. Both weigh about 155.
Idaho boasts that her backfield is
exceptionally fast this year. Several
sporting editors have given Coach
Griffiths credit for having the fastest
set in conference. The average weight
of the backfield, *%ubs and all, 13
about 175.
On the line Griffiths has Hays at
center, with Jackson, a Freshman, to
divide time with him. Both weigh
close to the 190 mark. Groniger and
Captain Phillips are tackles straight
through. Groniger weighs 200 and is

ELEVEN “0" MEN TO PUT
Eleven “O” Men to Play. Team Will
Leave at 1:30 This Afternoon,
After Light Practice at 11.
By Harry Kuck.
Coach Bezdek, Trainer Hayward
and seventeen aspirants for North
west football honors departed this
afternoon for Moscow Idaho. Be
sides the regular eleven, Coach Bez
dek is taking three substitutes for
the lineup: Lyle Bigbee, Powrie and
Cossman; and three ackfleld alter-,
nates: Huntington, Monteith and
Cornwall. This ia an able list of
substitutes, and in case of injuries,
the strength of the team will not be
noticeably weakened. Cossman’s po
sition is at center, Bigbee is an end,
and Powrie is general utility man.
Huntington will ably fill Cornell’s
shoes in case of injury to the doughty
little quarterback, while Monteith
and Cornwall are halfbacks of no
mean ability.
Whan naked how the team was go
ing, “Bea” said, "Just fair; nothing
startling lately. They seem to be
going at an even pace and I look for
a low score game Saturday. Idaho
is a hard bunch to lick this year, and
I will be satisfied with a 3 to 0 vic
tory.
"I am told that the field at Mos
cow will be very heavy, and this will
proVe quite a handicap to our own
boys.”
The coach would have liked to leave
this morning at 7:30, but delayed un
til 1:30 to allow the members of the
squad to go to their 8, 9 and 10
o’clock classes.
Light signal practice was indulged
in from 11:00 to 12:00, thus keeping
the boys away from only one class.
Whe nthe whistle announces the
beginning of the game Saturday, 11
“O” men will charge down the field.
“Dobbie” Garrett won his emblem in
the W. S. C, game; Risley, Philbin
and Snyder a week previous against
Whitman. Thus with the seven vet
erans, there is a full team of letter
men to battle for the Lemon Yellow.
RALLY BEFORE OREGON-O. A. C.
GAME WILL BE NOVEL
The rally before the Oregon-O. A.
C. game will be something different.
And something in which everyone may
take a part.
Early in the evening the bonfire will
be fired on Kincaid Field. Th enter
tainment will then shift to Villard
Hall, where a little '‘stunt” or act will
be given by representatives from the
different fraternity houses. These
stunts are not confined to the frater
nities alone, but will be accepted from
any source. Some of the houses have
already begun practice, for a prize ift
to be given for the best stunt
“This form of entertainment will be
a change from the regular style of
rally, and will be a great success if
everyone does his part,” says Vos
per. “We can’t afford to waste our
voices that night, because we will need
all the noise we can get at the game.”
The students’ welfare committee at
the University of California has taken
steps toward the using of sanitary
drinking cups at the college dances.
Oregon is cited as an example.
