Seniors jects for Fail ing ana orations Be fore Hint Date Janary 22 is the last day on which the {Seniors may file their subjects for tljp Failing and Beekman orations. According to Registrar Tiffany, if more than six names at that time are presented, the preliminary tryout will be held April 24 to determine who will have places for the final delivery <m June 15. “The papers for this tryout,” said Mr. Tiffany, “shall consist of no more Jdian 800 words, and the finals are lim ited to 1,200 words. Copies of the regulations governing this contest have recently been sent to every mem ber of the graduating class. Any Sen ior, provided that he has attended the University during his Junior year, is eligible to compete for these prizes.” The prize of $150 for the best ora tion is the income of a gift to the Uni versity made by Hon. Henry Failing, of Portland, the $100 for the second best oration is the income from an endowment made by C. C. Beekman, of Jacksonville. These honors were won last year by Janet Young and Harold Quigley, of the class of ’14. WASHINGTON STUDENTS SUS PENDED FOR HAZING SCRAPE * - Four students have been suspended from the University for the entire aca demic year, four suspended for the remainder cf the present semester, and twelve placed on probation as a result of the investigation of a com mittee of the faculty which was re cently appointed by President Henry I.andes to inquire into the recent haz ing proceedings which occurred on the campus, in which the underclass men were implicated. In part, the report issued by th-> committee states. “While opportu nities wili no doubt be afforded for physical contests betw i the classes, it is vl.-v Cesar that the sentiment of the faculty is against compulsory participation in any of tne class con tests, and particularly do they object to all forms of mass contests where g personal injuries are probable. “It was the thought of the commit tee, as a result of its investigations, that the pi-ring of class numera s upon the University property was cal culated to provoke reprisals and to lead frequently to instances of hazing. To the end that this temptation be removed, the University authorities will at once remove the large clas9 numerals wherever they occur ab^ut the University grounds. When that is done the further responsibility in the matter will be placed upon the stu dents. By vote of the faculty, when ever numerals are placed upon any of the University pioperty they will be immediately removed, and the ex pense of the work will be charged to the class whose members have been guilty.”-- -Exchange. Olympic games may be HELD IN UNITED STATES The Olympic games may be held in the United States in 1916. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, president of the international committee, says if any conditions prevent them from being held in Europe they will not be post poned. He thinks tbe war will have but a brief temporary effect upon the sports of France and will in no way seriously effect the Olympic games. Los Angeles is putting in a strong bid for the games to be there. It is proposed that the games be held in the Exposition Park Stadium which is now in course of construction. This ^ building will hold 30,000 people, 3,000 more than the one at Stockholm.— Exchange. A chess game between the teams of Chicago University and Washington o University, of St. Louis, is now being played by mail. By this method, the players are able to make one move day. It is not known how long it will take to finish the contest. Rifle shooting may become a recog nized sport at the University of Wash ington. The senior class at the University of Oklahoma assumes a dignified ap pearance by wearing conventional black ties and canes to match. The freshmen, on the other hand, are topped off with glaring scarlet lids, 4^1’ieh the sophomores have a hard time forcing them to wear. KOTL MAKES PUNS TO i EMM COLLEGE MEN Student Co-operative Workshop Would Help at Least 75 to Earn Way Through School j A student co-operative workshop, employing student labor, is the plan of Secretary Koyl, of the University Y. M. C. A., for the aid of men who are working their way through col lege. Some staple necessity will prob ably be manufactured if the plan ma terializes. o “Sixty per cent of the men attend ing this institution are paying their own expenses, at least in part, largely through work done during the school year,” says Koyl. “Each year there will be more men coming, and if the institution remains as democratic as it now is, each year will be an in creasing demand for work.” “If the liberal democratic air of the school is to be maintained, work must be provided for these men. To j do this we must have a plant putting out a product that has a stable mar ket and in which we can use un skilled labor. For instance, if a box factory similar to the one down town, which employs fifteen men, were to be installed we could furnish 75 men with two hours’ work each day at 25 cents or more an hour. “The plant will be conducted under a student manager, and work will be given to all who need it. No profit will be made by the Y. M. C. A., but the proceeds will be divided among the workers.’ During the Christmas vacation Mr. Koyl will make a trip to Portland and visit various plants with a view of finding the article best adapted to manufacturing conditions here. He will present the whole matter to the regents at their January meeting, and if he secures their co-operation will take steps to have the plant working during the spring months. CHANCE GIVEN FOR WOMEN TO MAKE UP GYM CONDITIONS * _ * An examination for the making up of gymnasium conditions and incom pleted work in last year’s tennis will be held from four to six Thursday, December 17, and the demonstration work from Monday, December 14 to Saturday, December 19.
