LEST WE FORGET
While we are enjoying this vaca
tion, full of the Thanksgiving spirit
and other things, hundreds of thou
sands, perhaps millions, of women,
children and old men will be won
dering where the next meal and the
next bed is coming from. 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.

**********
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.
