A PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, EMERALD NOVEMBER 5, 1914. o Volunw XVI, No, 21 DR. STARR RIDICULES WILSON’S “WATCHFUL WAITING” POLICY FAMOUS ANTHROPOLOGIST REGARDS PRESIDENTS ACTION IN MEXICO’S INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS WORSE THAN SENDIN6 AN ARMY VISITS MEXICO 22 TIMES Civil War Is Announced to be IneV' itable. “We Are Responsible For It”—Frederick Starr “I am a staunch Democrat, but I ^ disagree with Wilson’s policy in re gard to Mexico, and I think it has been a dismal failure from beginning to end.” This was what Dr. Freder ick Starr said of the “watchful wait ing policy,” as he discussed “The Mex ico of Today” at assembly in Villard Hall yesterday morning. Dr. Starr is Professor of Anthro pology at the University of Chicago and a famous lecturer and traveler. Expeditions have been headed by him in Japan, Africa, the Philippine Is lands and Mexico, to study ethnolog ical and anthropological conditions. He has made 22 different trips into Mexico, and through these trips has become intimate with conditions as they exist and have existed there, and has become personally acquainted with those who have been in power and who are vitally concerned with tp the pending problems in Mexico to day. “When I first went to Mexico, said the speaker, “Porfirio Diaz, the Pres ident, was in the height of his splen dor. Diaz was then regarded as one of the great rulers of the world. While this praise was overdrawn, there is no doubt he was a great man, for he raised Mexico to ambassador ial rank, though in my opinion Mex ico should not have this rank. The conditions are not right for it. The population is fiften millions, of which six millions are pure blooded Indians, speaking fifteen different languages— languages they spoke when Colum bus came to America. Then there is a million of Spanish and eight mil lions of mixed population, called mes tizos, and these latter are people who ^ are clad in rags and have never known what a full meal of victuals means.” The speaker then told of the cele bration in 1910 in Mexico City, in honor of a hundred years of inde pendence from the tyranny of the Spanish. At this point he began to analyze the growing discontent of the people with Diaz. He said the celebration was one absolutely with out enthusiasm, and in talking with a thousand Mexicahs not one agreed with the praise he tried to sing in fa vor of the government. Their expres sion was that their independence was dead. Then, as a result of a statement Ik from Diaz, he would support an hon est election, Madero took up the; gauntlet, Diaz resorted to foul play] • and was fraudulently elected to his | o seventh consecutive term as Presi I dent of Mexico in 1910. “Madero trjed ; every legitimate means possible guar anteed by the constitution of Mexico,” said Dr. Starr, “and failed. All that remained was arms, and arms it was. When Madero became victorious, he went into power a popular idol, but his abuse of it in throwing over Go mez and fraudulently installing Sua rez as Vice President resulted in pub lic hostility, which eventually wrought his destruction.” “Now notice these circumstances. In Mexico when there is no President (Continued on page 4.) FOUR 0RE60I MM ELECTED TO OFFICES “Pat” McArthur Chosen to Represent Third Congressional District. Three Local Grads Win “Pat” McArthur, ’01, was one of the four alumni of the University of Or egon to win in the election last Tues day. Mr. McArthur was Speaker of the House of Representatives at Salem during that body’s last ses sion, and his faithful and prominent service there substantiated his re-elec tion November 3. Allen Eaton, Lawrence T. Hams and W. B. Dillard, all representing this county, were the remaining three alumni, and all were elected by large majorities. Judge Harris is elected to the Supreme Court, Allen Eaton will go to the House of Representa tives and Walter B. Dillard to Ijhe Senate. GERMAN CLUB MEETS AT GAMMA PHI BETA The German Club held its second meeting of the year Tuesday evening at the Gamma Phi Beta house. Paul Sprague sang “Du Bist Wie Eine Blume.” Mr. O’Donnell discussed Deutsch land, Deutschland, Uber Alles, and ex plained that the general conception of this phrase is a mistaken one. It does not mean Germany, the conquer or, but Germany above all else in the hearts of its countrymen. Echo June Zahl gave a humorous reading. Jessie Purdy was elected Secretary of the Club. After the program, those present enjoyed a general good time. During Octoer, 30 Oregon or ganizations requested one or more lec tures by members of the faculty of the State University, and were an swered favorably. Educational topics were most in favor. Physical train ing for women and social biology top ics were also popular. The list does not include the Exten sion classes. WOMEN START INDOOR GYM WORK MONDAY Monday afternoon the women’s indoor gymnasium work began for the winter. One hundred and twenty Freshmen and about 80 Sophomores are enrolled in this department.

Memorize these and “sing a sang” for Oregon’s sake. The Toast Here’s to U. of 0., May she ever grow, Prosper and flourish, Truth ever nourish, To her many blessings flow. Here’s to Varsity, May she ever be Loved by each son and Loved by each daughter, Through all eternity. Here’s to her football, Here’s to her track team, Here’s to each hero on the list; Here’s to her shouters, Here’s to her spouters, Here's to the girls they’ve kissed. Olee mucket, Olee Varsiti, Here’s Oskey wow wow, Here’s wiskey wee wee, Here’s Oregonei. Flaunt her banners high and unceas- , ingly; Bring trophies of cups and flags to lay on her altars. i Honor be to her name increasingly, And cheer every onward step she ' takes. March, March, March, On Down the Field “March, march, march, on down the field, Fighting for Oregon; , Plough through the Aggies’ line, (or Old Dobie’s line) Their strength we defy. We’ll give a long cheer for Bezdek’s men, s We’re out to win again; 0. A. C. (or Washington) may fight 1 to the end, But we will win.” 1 Alma Mater Song “When the spell of youth is o’er us, Through our college days so bright, Alma Mater stands before us, Pointing upward to the light; There’s a pride and love that fills us, As we view her noble past, And her famous spirit thrills us To defend her to the last. Refrain:— Oregon, thou fairest daughter Of the Western sea, Loved and honored Alma Mater, Hail, all hail to thee! Every Freshman knows the story Of the vict’ries she has won, And the teams that for her glory Gave their best to Oregon. When we thought they were defeat ed, Then the spirit seemed to stir, And the good old cheer repeated Made them fight and win for her. Refrain. When life’s sterner duties call us From the scenes we love so well, In our hearts, wate’er befall us, Still the memories wili dwell. Our devotion will be greater As the fleeting years go past, And the love of Alma Mater Will inspire us to the last.” Refrain. —Lei and Hendricks, ’15. Oh, Oregon There’s a pretty little village, In a valley in the West; Past the village runs a river, Fed by snow on mountain’s crest; By its banks there stands a college, Full of dignity and fame; And the ’Varsity of Oregon’s The institution’s name. Dhorus:— Oh, Oregon! Oh, Oregon! Dhe ’Varsity, the only one! [t takes you as a Freshman in, I Vnd changes all except your skin, rhen shakes you freely by tlie fin, \.nd turns you out in life to win, Oh, Oregon! Oh, Oregon! For her sons are just as noble, And her daughters just as fair, \s the noblest and the fairest That e’er breathed the living air; \nd her spirit’s always loyal, And we’ll have the world to know, rhat the bonds can ne’er be broken Formed at dear old U. of 0. Chorus. —Irving Mackay Glen, ’94. Hail to Oregon rhere is a name most dear to us, On this far Western shore, \ name not old, though clear to us, , Shall stand forever more, rhere is a college, too, we love, Aid so you all shall know, [hat when we sing for Oregon, We sing for U. of O. Chorus: rhen hail! Boys, hail! for old Oregon! \nd hail for the Lemon-Yellow; We’ll fall in line and drink a stein, We like a jolly good fellow. 3o lift your voices, her praises sing, Let all with one endeavor Give three long, rousing rah, rah rah’s For Oregon, our Alma Mater! When college days draw near their close, Aid students say their last farewell, rheir memories most tender are For days they loved so well. When sadly then they leave the halls, Which well they've learned to know, How sweet and true their thoughts will be, Of their dear U. of 0. —Louis H. Henderson, '07.

DRUB WASHINGTON AND O.A.C. IS BATTLE CRY OF FOOTBALL SQUAD TWO ARC-LIGHTS ON KINCAID FIELD SCATTER DARKNESS AND 6IIIES COACHES A CHANCE TO DEVELQPE OREGON’S WEAK POINTS 5 TEAMS ENTERED IN CROSS COUNTRY RUN FIRST ANNUAL DISTANCE MEET WILL BE HELD AT CORVALLIS SATURDAY W. S. C,. Washington, Whitman, Or egon and O. A. C. Will Compete. Payne and Bostwick Out of Condition Five of the six conference schools will enter teams ih the first annual conference cross country race at Cor vallis next Saturday. It is not yet known whether the University of Washington will enter a team, but a squad of about 76 North erners have been taking regular work outs three times a week. In the tryouts at 0. A. C. last Sat urday Lafky was the first man to breast the tape. Hobgood and Kad derly finished second and third respec tively. Lafky’s time was 24:24. The second and third men finished about two minutes later. Other men who are trying for places are Dewey, Burns and Captain Reynolds. In a dual meet Saturday between W. S. C. and Idaho, the latter got away with the big end of an 11 to 10 score. Campbell, of Idaho, finished first; Lewis, of W. S. C., second; O’Burke, Idaho, third; White, W. S. C., fourth; Dasch, W. S. C., fifth; and Goddard, W. S. C. sixth. Time, 26:11. Hansen, of Pullman, who is rated as A1 material, has been con fined to the hospital with a fever and will not be able to run. Passmore is another W. S. C. man who has been coming to the front the last few weeks. Whitman will also send a team, but the tryouts have not yet been held. “Oregon will have a team at Cor vallis Saturday^ said “Bill” Hay ward yesterday. “If Payne and Bost wick are unable to run, I will have to look for some substitutes. Payne is nursing a slight attack of tonsil itis, and Bostwick has an injured pedal extremity and may not be able to run.” ‘Chet” Huggins and “Don” Belding and a few others are still taking daily excursions over the country roads. LIBRARY RECEIVES COLLEC TION OF OLD DOCUMENTS The Library has recently received from Dr. Luella Clay Carson a col lection of old papers and documents of special interest to the University and its history for the last 26 years. Tributes to Henry Villard and Dr. Condon, commencement day exercis es, football schedules, dance pro grams, and ndtes on every evejit of importance which has occurred at Oregon during Dr. Carson’s years of teaching comprise the material which was given to the library. There are several clippings devot ed to C. N. McArthur, who has re cently been elected to Congress. George Hug, Principal of Eugene High School, and Francis Galloway, now a prominent lawyer in Pendleton, are also commented upon as students in U. of 0. Dr. Carson was in the English De partment of the University from 1888 to 1909. “8EZ" STILL HK HOPES Problem Before Bezdek Is to Train Men for End Positions, Halfback and Utility Quarterback By Harry Kuck. A slogan has leaped intot promi nence in the consciousness of Ore gon’s football squad. It is: “Drub Washington and O. A. C.” A new factor in the Lemon Yellow campaign was dedicated last night. Kincaid Field is now equipped with two large arc lamps, about 500 candle power strong, and according to “Napoleon” these two instrumen talities and the “ghost” ball will be utilized regularly each evening by the “steak brigade.” Not taking into consideration re cent calamities, Oregon is fortunate right now in three respects: first and foremost, a great coach and a “great state”; in the next place, the fact that the teanj does not play on November 7 is a godsend. That gives two un broken weeks for coaches and play ers to develop a halfback, a duo of ends, and for Sam Cook to get over his mumps*. Saturday’s vacation certainly comes at the opportune time. With the present unorganized condition of the team, a game this week-end would probably prove dis astrous. Garrett injured his shoul der the other night, and Weist and Cornwall are playing ends. Cornell has not got down to hard work yet, and Huntington is stationed at quar ter. Philbin is being worked at guard and Pcwrie is filling the big tackle’s niche. There is quite a contest for Ma larkey’s job. Dean Crowell is back into harness, and although not in the best of condition, is a strong con tender for the place. Other competi tors are Monteith, Bigbee and Fee. Monteith and Bigbee showed consid erable ability in the Willamette game. Fee has never turned out for Var sity football before, but is showing good form. Finally, Oregon is represented this 'year by perhaps the greatest fight ing team she has ever boasted of. They don’t know what it is to quit. This quality is of incomprehensible value to a team. Authorities don’t figure Oregon the favorite, but—Oregon went dry, you know, and the unexpected may hap pen again about the middle of the month. STANFORD AND WASHINGTON WITHHOLD VOTE ON QUESTION Stanford and Washington still with hold their votes upon the debate ques tion, .and the exact wording is still undecided, although the general ques tion of government ownership of rail roads was decided upon quite a while ago. There are 31 oV 32 students, many of whom are Freshmen, pre paring themselves for the tryout, which will come on Saturday morning, November 21. There will be two big oratorical contests next spring, the Intercolle giate State Contest and the Inercol legiate Peace Contest. The state con test has been an annual event for the last quarter of a century, but the Peace Contest was instituted last year.
