CLUB IS GLAD-HANDED
BY HOSPITABLE AGGIES
O. A. C. STUDENTS SHOW GOOD
FEELING FOR OREGON
MEN
GAINS DELIGHT MICHAEL
Banquet Foliow§ Concert, at Which
Henry1 Heidenreich Talks on
Whiskers
By Edison Marshall.
O. A. C., so often apparently vin
dictive and sassy, showed the real
good feeling for Oregon that is in
the students’ hearts, when the Oft
gon Glee Club sang at Corvallis Fri
day night. The evening, and the wee
morning hours that followed the con
cert fairly bristled with magnanimity.
The first evidence of the good feel
ing was in the size of the crowd. The
hall was full of O. A. C. students, ea
ger to be pleased. Especially was
Sam Michael delighted at the good
turnout, for in his official capacity of
manager of the club, he saw that
somewhere around $100 would be add
ed to the large sum already in the
club coffers.
The concert apparently made a big
hit—the crowd calling for repeated
encores. The Glee Club was that
pleased that they put forth even more
than their usual effort, and according
to President Heidenreich, “sang as
they never sang before.”
It was at the Comrade Song that
real brotherhood began to be notice
able. During this song the O. A. C.
Glee Club, occupying seats near the
front, came up on the stage and sang
with the Oregon Glee Club.
Then both Glee Clubs went dowii
to Stidd’s for a fine, large night. A
banquet was served, at which Presi
dent Flint, of the O. A. C. Glee Club,
. presided. Flint called on speeches
from Professor Lyman, Professor Gal
kins, Director of the 0. A. C. Glee
Club, and Henry Heidenreich. Heiny
was instructed to speak on “Why the
Spinach on his upper lip?” Heiny
talked successfully through the spin
ach and told how he was obeying an
Oregon precedent.
After the banquet both teams
cheered for each other, giving final
evidence of good feeling.
The O. A. C. Glee Club will sing at
Eugene March 12, and according to
Heidenreich and Michael, this will be
a great opportunity for Oregon to re
taliate with equally good treatment.
T^he Oregon Glee Club will receive half
the gate receipts at this concert.
Big things are ^planned for the re
mainder of. the season, according to
Michael. On February 11 the Club
will sing at Junction City, and he
thinks it likely a trip can be made to
Portland and Astoria the same time.
What part of Oregon will be visited
during spring vacation has not yet
been decided, but will probably be the
Southern part.
Two members of the club, Sprague
and Jordan, thought lost to the Or
pheum, are in their old places, so that
the club is in the best of shape.
MUIRHEAD IS UNDERCLASS
HANDBALL CHAMPION
In the interclass handball series,
“Moose” Muirhead, of the Freshman
class, won over Leo Furney, who rep
resented the Sophomores. Austin
Brownell, a Junior, and Jim Donald,
of the Senior class, will play for the
finals in the upperclass, and Muirhead
will play the winner of this match
for the class championship.
In the doubles, which will be played
probably next week, the teams rep
resenting the classes will line up as
follows: Freshman, Muirhead and
Mason; Sophomores, Scaiefe and Fur
ney; Juniors, Brownell and Kuck;
Seniors, Donald and Hardesty.
LYRIST THINKS “SOUR BALLS”
HAS MISTAKEN IMPRESSION
“Tick’s” Effusion Evokes Reply from
Unknown Contemporary Who
Feels for Lovelorn
A reply to “Sour-Balls”
Oh, “Tick,” why chide you the fellow
Who sighs and dreams of his love,
In the light of the oak-fire mellow^
When the grey smoke wreathes above;
Whp spouts of the rwer°by moonlight,
Of the stream’s contented purr,
Of the stars and the trees and an
hour of delight
Alone on the race with Her?
He tells of her smile and the blue of
her eyes,
He hints at her wonderful charm,
And you know, and he knows too, that
he lies,
But such lies do no harm.
He reads to her Service and Kipling,
As they drift with the river’s flow,
And fast beats the hear* of the strip
ling
As his love he murmurs low.
What matter if he plant his pin
A dozen times or more,
And it’s always given back to him,
And each girl throws him o’er.
For, though he may flunk out of col
lege,
Though he may posted be,
He has gained a right rare knowledge
Of co-ed inconstancy.
President Edmund James, of the
University of Illinois, in an open let
ter to President Woodrow Wilson,
suggests that the government train
university students in military tac
tics. He would have the students
paid $250.00 annually for six hours a
week drill.

WILL BE BEST EVEB
Seniors’ Stepping Party to be Given
for the Ultimate Good of the
University, Says Jerard
“The Senior dance will be the best
ever, with the finest punch possible,
the patrons and patronesses carefully
selected, and no decorations except
the pretty girls,” said Bert Jerard,
chairman of the publication commit
tee.
“The dance,” continued Jerard, “will
I begin promptly at 8:00 o’clock, in or
der to give plenty of time for the 18
‘steps.’ Notwithstanding all these
wonderful features, the dance will be
cheap, fifty cents a couple.
“The Seniors are giving this dance
not because they are in debt,” con
cluded Jerard, “but because they con
sider that after the long strain of ex^
aminations they need the relaxation of
this dance. In fact, it is for the ul
timate good of the University.”
The following committee is in

PLAN EXPANSION OF
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
1 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY MAY GET NEW
BUILDING
0.0:8 N. PRESENTS LAND
o - --
Dean Mackenzie Asks the State Legis
lature for $100,000 to Maintain
Struggling Institution
i -
Plans for the expansion of the Med
ical Department of the University of
Oregon that will give the school
a $100,000 building on the recently
acquired state property on the heights
overlooking the City of Portland from
the west, have been put up to the leg
islature by Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie,
Dean of the Medical School. The
property, which is the gift of the O.
W. R. & N. Co., has been given to the
state on the sole condition that it be
utilized for the higher education of
the youth of the state in the service
and practice of medicine and in the
study of all matters relating to the
health and well being of the people
of the state.
As Dr. Mackenzie points out, the
Medical Department, which, by the
way, is in Portland, was not consid
; ered at all in relation to the millage
j tax for the support of the University.
• The bill expressly excludes the Medi
; cal Department from participation in
! its benefits.
j Present plans include the present
\ ing to the legislature this year of two
bills to provide for the needs of this
department, which will in time, states
Dr. Mackenzie, be perhaps the largest
integral part of the University. The
first bill, asking for $80,000, is for
maintenance, and is based exactly up
on the needs of the institution for the
next two years. Dr. Mackenzie de
clares that anything short jf that
amount would cripple the operations
of the school, or at least affect the
teaching in the laboratories very se
riously. The second bill, providing
for the $100,000 appropriation, is for
a building to house the school proper
ly.
The Dean of the Medical School as
serts that the State of Washington is
closely watching the institution, and
would be only too quick to establish
a medical department in its generous
ly endowed University, if for any rea
son the Oregon school, which is the
only Medical school in the Northwest,
lost its present rating because of the
poor facilities for teaching or on ac
count of the lack of proper buildings
for laboratories and lecture rooms.
The construction plan includes lab
oratories for the State Board of
Health, which, according to the Gov
ernor’s suggestions, ^are to b§ consol
idated with those of tfie medical
school.
PICTURES OF STUDENTS FOR
OREGANA CORfE IN PROMPTLY
“The students are ‘coming through’
with their pictures for the Oregana
morepromptly than I expected,” re
marked Manager William Holt when
questioned as to the ’16 Oregana’s
progress. “The cuts will soon be or
dered, as the editors wish to get the
pictures out of the way as quickly as
possible.”
Holt will leave about February 1
for Portland, where he will solicit for
advertisements from the Portland
merchants and hotel men.
Last Saturday morning, in Port
land, at the meeting of the women’s
annex of the Multnomah Club, Dr.
Bertha Stuart gave three Personal
Hygiene lectures: “First Aid to the
Injured,” and two talks on the “Care
of the Baby.”
Dr. E. S. Conklin returned Sunday
j after a week’s lecture trip through the
\ Rogue River Valley.
OREGON OVERWHELMS
WILLAMETTE QUINTET
METHODISTS SHOW BUT LITTLE
MORE THAN FIRST CLASS
HIGH SCHOOL ABILITY
FOULS VARSITY’S WEAKNESS
Score is 51 to 10; Game is Slow; Sa
lem Forwards Can’t Get Away
from Bezdek’s Guards
By Harry Kuck.
Oregon’s basketball team over
whelmed Willamette Saturday night
by the score of 61 to 10, in a slow and
listless game. The contest was not
characterized with the same atmos
phere of "pip” that has been present
at Gym basketball games in the past,
a condition which was probably due to
the inferiorit yof the “Methodist'’
quintet.
At the start of the game the Ore
gon team had difficulty in locating
the basket, and Willamette scored
two field goals, the result of a little
loose defensive work on the part of
the Oregon guardsV The shooting
throughout the game was inferior to
that of previous practice sessions and
in spite of the lop-sided score the ex
hibition did not add materially to'
Lemon Yellow stock in the conference j
race.
The ball was in Willamette’s terri
tory nearly all the game, and Coach
Thompson’s five seemed unable to ad
vance past the middle of the floor.
Willamette was minus the services of
one of her regular guards, but the
most optimistic survey of the team’s
ability would hardly rate it above a
first class high school five.
Oregon’s team work was good and
the ball was seldom lost on account of
poor passing. The guarding was close
and alb the men handled the ball well.
Sharpe was high point man, with
eight field goals to his credit, and
“Skeet” Bigbee followed closely with
six “shots” and three foul throws.
Dudley got five baskets and Lyle Big
bee speared four ,three of which were
of the “horseshoe” variety. Boylen
converted but one attempt, but his de
fensive game was of the stellar order.
Wheeler substituted for Boylen in
the latter part of the game, but did
not get much chance to show his scor
ing ability. This was the only sub
stitution Coach Bezdek made.
Shisler monopolized all of Willam
ette’s scores. He got two field goals
and converted six out of nine free
throws. The rest of the team rarely
got close enough to shoot.
One element especially noticeable
was the frequency with which Oregon
fouled. Four were called on Lyle
Bigbee, two on Sharpe, one each on
C. Bigbee and Dudley. This factor
may lose the boys some games after
a jvhile. All referees are not as len
ient as “Bill.”
filLL DRAWN FOR ABOLITION OF

KIRK AND ASH SHUN RAZOR
TO GIRD LOINS FOR EXAMS
A. T. O. Pair Engaged in Whisker
Growing Contest to Promote
Cause of Scholarship
At this season of the year, wheh va
rious and sundry measufes are being
taken, by the students to combat the
dreaded ■final exes, two A. T. O.
youths have invented a solution which
is both novel and heroic.
If you meet Walter J. Kirk or Ralph
Ash upon the campus within the next
few days, and note an exuberance of
vegetation upon their visages, kindly
refrain from remarks such as “Where
did you go after you got that shave?”
Rather, the young men should receive
commendation, for their neglect of the
Gillette is but a manifestation of their
deep and consuming desire to gratify
the faculty by making good grades.
This is the way Kirk and Ash have
it figured out: between now and the
close of the-examinations, it behooves
every student wishing to enjoy the
privilege of sitting at the feet of the
faculty next semester to put in their
time studying. But with the many
temptations of city life surrounding
them, to say nothing of the coquet
tish co-ed, it is often difficult to carry
out this laudable ambition.
Here is where the anti-shaving
movement comes in. With a crop of
soup-strainers such as either young
man is capable of raising, they will
have no desire to go “fussing” this
week-end, while with a few more
days’ start they will not dare to ven
ture outside the A. T. 0. house on any
pretext.
A contract has been drawn up,
whereby if either man renigs, he will
forfeit three dollars and undergo mill
racing at the hands of the other. The
penance is to last until noon of Friday,
February 6, when the lawn mower will
be called into commission.
CHUMMING ORGANIZER
REVIEW SAYS CONKLIN
Psychology Professor Gives Advice to
Students About Studying for
Examinations
The question as to whether cram
ming is harmful or beneficial to stu
dents at examination time is answered
by Dr. Conklin: “Cram, but cram in
theright way. The best dramming is
an organized review and not an at
tempt to memorize a whole semester’s
work.”
Cramming, as defined by the diction
ary is, “hastily memorizing informa
tion.” This, according to Dr. Conk
lin, is unprofitable and makes the stu*
dent unfit for .his examination. “The
best way to review a book,” he says,
“is by chapter heads’oand sub-heads.
In this way the details are associated
with the main line of thought, and the
one suggests the other. Don’t study
too long at one time. After your
mind has once become tired, it will
retain very little knowledge; this has
been proved by experiment. Above
all, get plenty of sleep, especially on
the night before your examination.
If you have one exam following ano
ther, try to time yourself so that you
can walk around the block before go
ing to your second task, and get your
mind free again.”

FINE SOCCER ELEVEN
HAS BEEN BUILT IIP
TEAM COULD CHALLENGE FOR
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND
MAKE A SHOWING
BEATS * Cllt TEAM 5 TO 0
With Another Year of Training, Could •
Hold California and Eastern Col
lege Teams, Says Coach
By Floyd Westerfield.
A soccer football team that with
another season’s drill could hold its
own against Stanford, Berkeley, Co
lumbia, Pennsylvania, Harvard, or any
other of the big college soccer teams
of the country, hafe at last been de
veloped at the University of Oregon.
Without the racket of a publicity
trumpet, the work of training it has
been proceeding for a year and a half,
and the estimate of its possibilities is
that of its coach.
The soccer squad began this season
with 27 men. One withdrew from col
lege, one quit because of an injury, a
third was not permitted to return af
ter an attack of mumps. The remain
ing 24 men are still in harness and
without exception participated in a
practice game played a few days ago.
They have been in harness through
all kinds of weather, on all kinds of
ground, since late in September, which
is one of the reasons given for the
progress made.
Last Saturday a team picked frorti
the squad beat the Eugene Soccer
Club by 6 to 0, the equivalent of six
touchdowns in intericollegiate foot
ball. The city players, most of whom
learned thh game in Great Britain,
commented on the good condition, the
ground covering qualities, the unself
ish combination and the spqed of the
University eleven, which was made up
of the following men: Gorescky,
Spellman, Campbell, Rathbun, Pear
son, Ralston, Tuerck, Neal Ford (Cap
tain), Hugh Ford, Sheeiiy and Seng
stake, with Crockett and Huston sub
bing in the second half. A previous
game with the Eugene Soccer Club
gave the University a 3 to 1 victory.
These are the only games the squad has
had this season with outside players.
The men now want to test their
strength against a Portland team. “I
should be glad to see them meet, first,
the leading interscholastic team from
Portland, and, second, the best senior
league team there," said Colin V. Dy
ment, Professor of Journalism, who
has been acting as coach. “In meet
ing the best senior league team, I do
not see why the University should not
challenge for the state championship.
Of course, the team could not be ex
pected to win this year against hardy
and experienced pl&yers like those of
the Multnomah Club, but by 1916 the
Varsity squad should be an annual
contender for the state championship
on Multnomah or Kincaid Field.
“The first team is a well balanced
eleven. In only the senior league
teams of Portland have I seen better
wing passing than was shown by the
Varsity forwards Saturday. The
halves are active fellows, hard to get
away from, and with a definite idea
of feeding the forwards. The backs
and goal have more pronounced faults
and need more training. The entire
tecfm is, of course, deficient in foot
work, which comes only after several
years of practice. The men have been
well captained by Ford."
The season ends about March 1, and
games with Portland teams will have:
to be during February. O. A. C. has
declined to play, and no response hast
been received from Willamette. The:
only chance for games is therefore
with Portland. The deficit last year
on soccer was only $40, and three
games could be played this year with
Portland teams with a deficit of not
more than $50, according to Professor
Dyment.
