ON FHNJC OWNERSHIP
Thirty-Four Schools Compete for Cup
Offered by University Societies
and by Prof. DeCou
The final meet of the Oregon High
School Debating League will be held
at Villard Hall some time in May.
The question for 1914-15 is: “Re
solved, That the federal government
should own and operate all inter
state railroads acting as common car
riers, including intra-state lines com
peting v^ith them, constitutionality
T waived.”
The University of Oregon cup is
given by the Laurean and Eutaxian
Literary Societies and by Prof. E. E.
DeCou, organizer of the league, to
stimulate debating interest among
the high schools of the state. It is
presented annually to the winning
team and becomes the property of the
school winning it three times. It was
won by Albany, June, 1912; by North
Bend, May, 1913; and by Pendleton,
May, 1914.
A large per cent of the Universi
ty of Oregon students have come from
the thirty-four high schools which
now comprise the Oregon State High
School Debating League. The object
of this league is to encourage debat
^ ing among the students of the various
high schools. This is the seventh year
of its existence.
Mr. Robert W. Prescott, Secretary
Treasurer of the League and Assist
ant Professor of Public Speaking at
the University of Oregon, has just
published a bulletin of information
on the league and its debates. It
contains a list of the officers, the prop
osition for debate, with bibliography,
data on debate libraries, and the con
stitution and by-laws of the organi
zation.
The University will pay the ex
penses of the two teams and the judg
es in the finals.
WASHINGTON SHOWS GOOD
SPIRIT TOWARD OREGON MEN
Both the Oregon team and rooters
were treated with great respect and
consideration while at Seattle Sat
urday, according to a statement made
by Ernie Vosper, who said of the
Washington students:
“They treated us as welcome guests,
reserving a place for our rooters,
who numbered about forty, and join
ing us in cheering whenever our men
made good plays, or whenever a play
er received injuries. We could not
have expected any better treatment
than we were given.”
Vosper and his assistant led the root
ers, who, according to statements
made by some of the Washington stu
dents, made a lot of noise for their
size.
Most of the women visitors were
entertained by dances at the sorority
houses, where they spent the night.
-% WASHINGTON ASKS $1,163,794
FROM STATE LEGISLATURE
Anticipating a big increase in the
enrollment of the University within
the next biennium, and realizing that
the funds appropriated for the main
tenance of the Uniyersity of Wash
ington in the past two years have
been insufficient adequately to carry
on the work, the state legislature of
Washington, in its session which opens
in January, will he asked to appro
priate a sum of $1,163,794. Of this
sum $30,000 is asked to construct two
new buildings—home economics build
ing, which will serve as a building for
the women, and a recitation building
to supplant many of the temporary
classrooms now being held in the for.
mer Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition
buildings. The remainder of this fund
would be used for equipment and the
added cost of new instructors.
EUTAXIANS MEET IN
Y. W. C. A. BUNGALOW

bungalow. The program was as fol
lows: “Women and the Plays of To
day,” Helen Johns; “Does the Stage
Breed Immorality ’’-Helen Jane Ham
ilton; “Little Stories of New Plays,”

I “FROSH” start bonfire
PREPARATIONS FOR RALLY
Work on the Freshman bonfire be
! ?an in earnest this morning. Under
the goad of Homer Kellems, chair
|man the bonfire committee, and
Kent Wilson, Frosh President, 75
?rreen cappers “put in” "the day on
Kincaid Field. » * . J
A good start was made on the pile,
which will probably be completed by
the middle of next week. j
In comparison with the bonfires of j
previous classes, the Frosh this year >
have had but little difficulty in gath- j
ering the material for their fire, most
of the lumber having been used in
connection with the improvements to
the Library and Architectural Build
ing and hauled to the field by the Uni
versity. Two years ago, the Fresh
men bought a pile of old lumber on
the corner of Eleventh and Willam
ette and chartered street cars to
transport it to Kincaid Field. Last
year the 17’ers tore down a house a
few blocks from the field in order to
obtain the material for their blaze.
MORE SOCIAL LIFE FOR NON
DANCERS; Y. M. C. A. TO RESCUE
The desire for more social life for
non-dancers and for those who like
other forms of social diversion, is
recognized in the new Y. M. C. A.
plans for a series of parties to be
given in connection with the Y. W.
C. A. in the Bungalow. The associ
ations, recognizing the growing de
mand and changing their policies will
enter more into the social life of the
University. The first result will be
a party to be given in the Bungalow
some time before the holidays.
The features will be new and inter
esting games, singing, special music
and stunts. Plans are coming into
shape under the direction of the so
cial committee.
During the holidays another enter
tainment will be given by those stu
dents who remain in town.
PROF. LYMAN WILL FORM
SOCIETY TO GIVE ORATORIOS
An oratorio society is to be formed
by Professor Lyman, of the School
of Music, for the purpose of creating
a greater interest in music and to
present at some time during the year
a big choral work. All students of
the University and friends who are
interested in singing are invited to
join.
The first practice will be held next
Monday evening in Villard Hall, at
8:00 o’clock. The first number to be
worked up is “Hiawatha’s Wedding
Feast,” by Coleridge-Taylor. “This
is a big number,” says Professor Ly- ]
man, “and I expect to have about i
100 or 150 voices. I also expect to !
bring some noted tenor here for thd
solo part.” This concert will prob
ably be given in March.
