The Bel gian Relief Fund, with headquarters in New York, has already raised about 40,000 toward relieving that stricken nation. Now comes a direct appeal to the Universities of America for aid. It is not money that is wanted, so much as clothes—and all of us can con tribute. The Emerald will be glad to encourage any organized move ment, such as a benefit game or en tertainment here at the University of Oregon. Meanwhile, individual effort is in order. Let us all bear this in mind during these Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The following letter is self-explan atory: To the Emerald: May I appeal to the American and Canadian Universities, and through the Universities to the American and Canadian people, for help to clothe the Belgians? The need for garments for our hon ored refugees in England is pressing; it is even more pressing in Holland, whither the poorer people have fled in overwhelming numbers. Clothes of all kinds are wanted— suits, greatcoats, underclothing, socks, shoes, overshoes, slippers, hats, caps, handkerchiefs, shirts, sweaters, jer seys, guernseys, and women’s gar ments of every description. They should be addressed to The Lady Mac. Donell, 1st Floor, 23 Warwick Square, Pimlico, London, S. W., England. The committee for succouring the Belgians will undertake their distri bution. Send clothes, and more clothes, and still more clothes. I plead for a “peo ple in beggary and a nation that is stretching out its hand for food.’’— i A. E. Shipley, Master of Christ’s Col lege, Cambridge. At the University of Kansas swear ing has been prohibited on McCook Athletic Field or in the club house. Coach Wheaton has issued the order to football men and says it must be enforced. The department of Greek archae ology of the University of Iowa has on exhibition a collection of two hun dred tablets recently found while ex cavations were being made in the neighborhood of ancient Babylon. The tablets are said to date back 4,600 years, or from the days of the pro phet Daniel. * * COMMUNICATION I • ********** To the Students of Oregon: Because' I greatly appreciate the loyalty of the Student Body to the team and to Coach Bezdek, I wish to thank you, one and all, for what you . have done. I wish to thank you for the good-will with which you all have responded to the least call for service and also for the wonderful enthusi-! asm with which you have all carried j out your part. „ I wish to thank all the fraternities | and also the Dormitory Club for the support that they gave me on the j night of the rally, for I assure you ' that it was your promptness to re spond that made the night a grand success and that aroused “the fight ing spirit of Old Oregon,” which car ried us on to victory over O. A. C. I wish to thank the individual mem bers, who took part that night and also those men who so kindly gave their labor to me in aiding to make the affair a success. I wish to thank the girls for the part that they played in the rally and before in their endeavor to show their loyalty to the team, and most of all to Oregon. I wish to thank each and every man and girl for their willingness to sac rifice their voices at the game to cheer our grand old team on to vic tory. I wish to thank those business men, who so gladly offered and gave me their assistance during these days ,of preparation. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant vacation and a happy Thanksgiving. ERNEST VOSPER, Yell Leader. MS WORDING ACCEPTED Bf 111 U. OF W. AND STANFORD AP PROVE DEBATE QUESTION SUBMITTED BY LOCALS Ten Women Form Debating Class. Are In Hope of Intercollegiate Contests A weight was lifted from the shoul ders of the men’s debating corps when the University of Washington s vote upon the wording of the debate question arrived in Mr. Tiany’s of fice the first of this week. Stanford’s vote upon the question was received ten days ago. Both colleges agreed with the wording proposed by the Uni versity of Oregon and the question now decided upon reads as follows: “Resolved, That the Federal Govern ment should own and operate all in terstate railroads acting as common carriers, including intrastate lines competing with them." The debaters now have a definite question to work upon and have no rear of any catch that might be in cluded in the question. Between 12 and 15 women of the University met Wednesday evening with Profossor Prescott in Deady Hall to make plans for co-ed debat ing. They decided to have interclass debates during the course of the year, and, if the Forensic Council would al. low them the privilege, to organize j lor intereollegiute debates. In order i to secure the consent of the Forensic ! Council they must first show a real, I genuine interest in forensics and u 1 willingness to work hard. They intend to carry the interclass | debating by the women farther than that of the men. There will be an uppeivlass debate and a lowerelass debate, and then a contest between the two winning teams for the wo men’s college championship. Ten women have shown such an in terest in co-ed forensics that they have signed up to join a class in de bate, which will soon be organized by Professor Prescott. The class will meet every Wednesday night from seven to nine o’clock in Professor Howe's room. There will be no credit given for the rest of the semester, but if the class continues, credit will be given next semester. The game between the football stars of Michigan and Minnesota has been abandoned because it was im possible to get the men in shape in time. It was to have been played for the Belgian relief fund.
