A. H. HARRIS TELLS CLASS IN ELEMENTARY JOURNALISM TO BE OWN MASTERS Former Editor of Portland Labor Press Advises Men to Begin , Life in a Small Town “There has beer, a distinct improve ment in the spirit of the campus of the University in the last few years. It is noticeably^a more human, more wholesome atmosphere of democratic cordiality than was present former ly,” said A. H. Harris, lately editor | of the Portland Labor Press, and an; old friend of the University, in an | address before the first year Journal ism class yesterday afternoon. He urged the young men to aim to be come their own masters in some small town, rather than to run to the big cities to work for someone else. “People in this state, as in others, are rapidly drifting toward the great industrial centers,” he said. “They are submerging themselves tfc the vast complexity of the city life and are overlooking the fact that the re ally big things come to the young man in the country where one’s in dividuality has an opportunity to as sert itself.” “Of course, a certain amount of hard work and chance is involved in starting out in a small center. The element of uncertainty is apt to keep the young man from starting alone j with the expectation of rising until he as an individual is a factor in the community. Then, and not until then, is the time for him to step into the city. Then it is that the larger op portunity will be waiting for him. I Men are looking for the young man! who has had experience along the! smaller lines of endeavor rather than 1 those who are trying to step imme-! diately into the business of a vast: municipality. It requires hard work, but nothing is worth while that does not.” PRELIMINARIES END IN A CLOUD OF DUST (Continued from page 1.) and scored four baskets. Tho pame ended 14 to 6 in favor of Delta Tau. Phi Delta Theta showed no mercy to the Dormitory team. This was the last frame of the preliminaries. The crowd was eager for the Nero style of sport, and its desire was fulfilled. In the first four minutes of play Phi Delta Theta piled up four bas kets. Kuek and Greby silenced this fire after the fourth basket, and only one more was made in the first pe riod. Score first half: Phi Delt 10; Dorm. 0. True to the preliminary form, roughness featured the second half. Wolfe, Greby and Kuek squirmed into their opponents’ way in a manner that was disastrous for all concerned. Could Kuek have had a little luck, the score might have been different. He played the ball up and down the floor in line style and almost shot nu merous baskets. Strangely enough, it was necessary to call two personal fouls on the Dorm. Sharpe failed to score either time. The game ended 20 to 0 in favor of Fhi Delta Theta and the Dorm went into the discard as the rest of .the fighters but poor players. * SAVOY THEATRE * * Always Ten Cents * * SATURDAY SPECIAL * * The Dollar Mark features Win. * * H, Brady’s great stage success— * played Wallack’s N.

We must know sufficiently about it to be able to draw our own conclusions and ( to consider what the outcome will be. What have we concluded of the to morro„w? The best material for the college student is to be found in the periodicals. I recommend the Liter ary Digest, Current Opinion and World's Work. Dr. Schafer, of the History Depart ment, stated that he also thinks the correct way to study the war is to read books on the conditions of the countries engaged, which were writ ten before the conflict started, and he suggests Bernhardi’s "Germany and the Next War,” also books formerly written by Professors Sloane and Demburg. Demburg has been writ ing recently for the “Independent” and the “Saturday Evening Post.” Professor O’Hara is also of this opinion. He says, “The books writ ten now are too heated. One must read those published before the war in order to get an impartial concep tion of the present conditions.” The University Library has received several late books and pamphlets on the European war. Among these are: “Germany and England,” Prof. J. Cramb. “The War and America,” Hugo Muensterberg. “The Times’ War Atlas,” The New York Times. “The End of the Armament Rings,” H. G. Wells. Besides these books, there are mag azine articles, cartoons, and pam phlets which are recommended to the students for reading, such as: "Germany and the Next War,” Gen eral von Bernhardi. “How Britain Strove for Peace,” Sir Edward Cook. “The World’s Work War Manual,” The World’s Work Magazine. “The Duty of a Neutral Nation,” William Joel Stone. The London Times publishes week ly a pamphlet on the “History of the War,” the first eight parts of which are now on file at the Library. KUEHNEMANN CHANGES NO NEUTRALS—SCHAFER (Continued from page 1.) sonable prospect that conflicting in terests will change this sentiment. “Personally I am very glad of Dr. Ivuehnemann’s visit, because it af fords our students and people an op portunity to make a comprehensive study of the issues involved in the war, and it naturally intensifies in terest in recent European history. Our department was very glad to offer this lecture to our class in Contem porary History as a substitute for one of the regular weekly lectures.” Let us fill your Christmas Box with fresh candy Place your order now Peter Pam •• AT THE ° SMEED Our Sunday evening dinners are not equaled in the city for the price.
