w.* **■ OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1915. Volume XVI, No. 47 “MAKE THE THING GO” SAYS IRVING E. VINING COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PROFES SOR ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN ABILITY Qualities Leading to Success; a Stu dy of Application of Psychology to Business Is Topic “There is no failure in life except the self-acknowledgment of failure,” said Professor Irving E. Vining, of Columbia University, New York, in his assembly address Wednesday morning, on “Qualities Leading to ^ Success; a Study of the Application of Psychology to Business.” “Failure,” continued Professor Vin ing, “is the absence of your ability to grasp the new complications in the situation. The estimate of value of a man is the number of obstacles he can overcome before he will acknowl edge that the conditions are too com plex for his ability. “Education based on conscious mind and effort of will is going to change and will be based on the subconscious, In regard to the subconscious mind, one view of life is absolutely neces ’ sary—the positive belief in your own endowment to carry out the demands made upon you. “The great demand of the commer cial world today is, ‘make the thting go.’ In student organizations or whatever you undertake, never yield, never acknowledge your inability to carry to the fullest fruition the de I mands that will be made upon you. “Students of a university, upon en tering the commercial world, find the transition difficult, and often their best efforts are lost. I have found graduates of Princeton, Yale and Har vard in the Y. M. C. A. bread line in New York City. This condition is so because the inability to make the change is not understood and in the transition a vision is lost, disillusion overwhelms the ideals of the young men, and before they know it, they are cast A^recks upon the beach. “There are opportunities all around you-Mnvisible hands reaching out, crying, ‘We need you, we are hungry for you.’ If you knew how to re spond, success not only in a tempora ry way, but the real success of • achievement would be yours. The un ^ fulfilled desires of humanity are ask ing for your efforts. Just as soon as you are capable of fulfilling the de sires, you will receive the preference, and then success is assured. “I would suggest the study of per ' sonal qualities. In knowing and stu dying men, we reach the final demand; the demand that crowns life and makes it worth while. A true, posi tive, noble character, that fertilizes and enriches every endeavor, is the final asset that crowns a life with qualities that I positively believe will insure success.” BRICK LEY BEGINS COACHING CAREER AT HARVARD IN APR. * Charles Brickley, captain of Har vard’s 1914 champion football team, will have his first chance at coaching next April .when he will be assist ant to Head Coach Percy D. Hough ton. The spring season of rudimentary training that has been put into prac tice at Harvard for the past two years has been so successful that the plan is to be repeated this year. Brickley will coach the backfield men, and will also give instructions in drop kicking to the candidates for po sitions behind the line. D. F. McClelland, of New York City, Traveling Secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, will come to the University Saturday and remain over ^ Sunday. He will hold conferences in the Y. M. C. A. office with all stu dents interested in Christian work. I SOPHOMORE BRIDE MAKES HER HOME IN SEATTLE! • ~ . I Marriage of Margaret Stauffer to Al bert Davis Follows Long Friendship Seattle is to be the home of Mrs. Albert Davis (Margaret Stauffer) who was married Tuesday afterno'on, January 19, at the Pro-Cathedral of St. Stephens, Portland, before a few relatives and close friends. She was a Sophomore, a Journalism major, and a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Letters to campus friends this week say that Mr. and Mrs. Davis are spending their honeymoon at the home of the groom’s father, Col. Geo. Davis, U. S. A., who is in charge of the quartermaster’s department of the United States Army in Seattle. They have been friends since childhood and had been engaged for more than a year prior to the wedding. Mr. Davi3 had just returned from six months’ leave spent in Honolulu. He is well known in Louisiana for proficiency in school athtletics. Mrs. Davis is daughter of Frederic P. Stauffer, instructor in biology in Lincoln High School, Portland, and entered the University in February, 1914. Each member of the class in Ge ology, under Professor Smith, is re quested to submit a collection of 12 rocks, classified and listed under Ge- j ologic heads. These rocks were gath ered in field study work, and to clas- j sify them the student must use his knowledge of the more simple forma tions, their composition and so on. j SUPPORT OF SOCCER FAVORED BY GOONGIL STUDENT SENATE RECOMMENDS STUDENT BODY AID AT WED NESDAY SESSION Three Games Are Planned; Two With Multnomah and One With J. H. S. I That soccer should receive some Stu-! dent Body support is the gist of a res olution passed by the Student Coun | cil at a regular meeting Wednesday. | This resolution recommends to the Associated Students that soccer games, to be played this season, shall receive financial support of the Student Body. It is planned to play three games, two of which will be on the campus. The total expense of the three games, according to estimates of members of the Student Council, would be from $50 to $100 less than the gate receipts. Should a deficit ensue, It is recom mended by the Student Council that the Student Body assume the obliga tion. According to Professor Dyment, three games could be played with Port land teams with a deficit of not more than $50. “The receipts here last year for the game with Columbia were $35,” said Tom Boylen, President of the Stu dent Council, “and a possible deficit this year should not be great. It is only fair that soccer should receive I some support. A good many of the i men do not go in for other branches | of athletics. There are about 25 men ; out now. Each year several hundred ' dollars are spent on the basketball team, and the number of participants is much smaller. “The two games in contemplation to be played here are with Multnomah Club and Jefferson High School. The third game will probably be played j with Multnomah Club in Portland.” There has been no practice this; week on account of the nearness of the ! examinations. Walter Amspoker, who was out for several weens on account of sickness, will be back on the field soon. Amspcl.er played center half on the team last year. | OREGANA BILL IS REFERRED 10 GENERAL COMMITTEE BY COUNCIL RESOLUTION .FOR APPROPRIATION FOR GREGANA IS FAVORED BY STUDENTS, BUT CONSTUTIONAL DIFFICULTIES ARISE SENIORS OPPOSE ACT Constitution Must be Amended Be fore Executive Body Can Vote and Appropriate Funds At the special Student Body meet ing held Wednesday morning in Vil lard Hall, the following resolution was introduced by Prentiss Brown, President of the Junior class: “Be it resolved, that the Associat ed Students of the University of Or egon go on record as favoring an ap propriation by the Executive Com mittee sufficient to cover the actual cost of the space used iji the Oregaua by the Student Body, and that the Executive Committee be requested to make the necessary appropriation.” Tom Boylen, President of the Stu dent Body, threw the meeting open to discussion of the resolution. Argu ments were advanced on both sides. The Seniors energetically opposed the resolution. The Junior class, publish ers of this year’s Oregana, stood pat as a whole, for the appropriation, and the Executive Committee of the Student Body gave reasons why the appropriation should not be made. Earl Blackaby, of the Seniors, asked for a report of the Executive Committee. This report was given by the chairman, Bert Jerard, who stated also that the committee is pledged to reduce the Student Body debt. He said: “We turned down requests for Stu dent Body support of soccer, tennis and other sports, because we felt it our duty to the Student Body. If we do vote this money, where are we go ing to get it Mr. Tiffany can tell you that we haven’t got it, and that it will be mighty hard to borrow.” Cloyd Dawson, of the Junior class, brought up the question as to wheth er economy means a greater thing thing than does the Oregana to the University. He stated that the Ore gana vitally affects the University in regard to its standing with other uni versities of the Pacific Coast and with preparatory schools. (Continued on page 4.) ISSUE IS MOOTED Class Representatives Will Thresh' Out Question and Report February 24 The appointment of a general Stu dent Body committee to take charge of the matter of Student Body support for the 1916 Oregana was authorized by the Student Council at its regular meeting Wednesday evening. The action was ttfken after a lengthy discussion, in which it was agreed that the present status of the question is uncertain. “The question as it now stands is up in the air,” said Tom Boylen, Pres ident of the Student Body, this morn ing. “For this reason it was deemed ad visable by the Council to appoint a committee, composed of members of each of the four classes, which could take the matter up and take some definite action.” “The resolution adopted Wednes day was merely an expression of Stu dent Body sentiment. Before any funds could be appropriated, it would first be necessary to amend the Stu dent Body Constitution, as the con stitution does not now give the Ex ecutive Committee the power to make such appropriation.” The committee will hold its first mjeeting immediately following ex^ aminations. The entire question of Student Body support will be thor oughly threshed out and the recom mendations of the committee will bd presented to the Student Body at its next regular meeting, Februaiy 24. The committee numbers fifteen, in cluding six Seniors, four Juniors, two Sophomores, two Freshmen and one post graduate. The personnel of the committee is as follows: Tom Boylen, chairman; William t\ Holt, Maurice Hyde, Ben Dorris, Lee Hendricks, Prentiss Brown, James Donald, C. C. Barker Robert Prosser, Joe Sheahan, Sam Michael, Bert Peacock and Earl Blackaby. -^-A A A —^. .^- ^4, -♦* .^..^.

At the present the skeleton of the mammal is quietly reposing in a vacant lot in the northwestern part of the town, awaiting the disposition of the University authorities. No press notices heralded tne com ing of the whale, but no sooner had it arrived than the serene atmosphere of the town became charged with an odor peculiar to great fishes who have changed their abode from the mighty seas to dry land. It shocked the ol factory organs of soporific Eugene. For a few minutes the freight au thorities became very anxious to re move the carcass from their vicinity, and so immediately communicated with the University, which was to be the future habitat of the odoriferous mammal, so famed in ocean and Bi ble. “No,” answered Mr. Johnson over the phone, “we didn’t order any whale; the man that brought it here did so on his own initiative and it’s up to him to dispose of it. I’ll never approve of bringing that thing on j the campui in the condition it's in,” i reiterated the irate Steward. Mr. Fullerton, undaunted by the at titude taken by the University author ities, has been busily engaged cleans ing the skeleton, and feels sure that once the odor is removed, the Univer sity will welcome the remains of the animal. President Campbell this afternoon held a consultation with Professor Ed , munson, of the Zoology Department, [ as to the fate of the whale, and it ! was decided to let the bones undergo a drying process before any decided steps are taken. During the consultation it evolved | that the lower jaw of the mammal was missing and a doubt was expressed by the Zooipgy Professor whether the University wants an incomplete skel ! eton. MEXICAN HURLS GAUNTLET AT CRAWL “SOUfl-RALLS ,Hendershott’s Henchmen in Trim With Classical Stuff for Sen ior Dance _ “I, er, we, the members of the Sen ior class, do hereby challenge any stude in this University who shall at tend our dance to say that he has not had the time of his life,” remarked Bert Jerard, press agent of the Big Show, the Senior dance, to come off February 6, 8:00 P. M., at the Gym nasium. “ ‘Lil* Arthur Hendershott and his henchmen have been taking the hearse out of rehearsing for several weeks, getting in trim for the fray," said the famous athlete. “The boys will pound out some brand new music, written especially for the occasion. You will notice the program adopted contains a few steps, some more steps, and yet some more steps. The reason for this is that the faculty recently passed a ruling against waltzes. There will be one fox-trot, not that any one of us can dance it, but some might feel slighted if we left it out. Besides, like Aristotle, we believe ‘Variety is the spice of life.’ The musicians’ un ion, recently formed in Eugene, de mand higher prices for waltzes, as they take more time, make the leader sleepy, and they don’t like ’em any way. If time permits, we’ll dance all night. Eighteen dances and as many extras, if they’re wanted. Remember, the admission is 60 cents.” T ORCHESTRA GIVES FIRST CONCERT SOON ALBERT GILLETTE WILL PLAY FIRST VIOLIN, BARDOL LET, ELUTE Miss Forbes Says Orchestra is in Splendid Shape for Best Ever Concert The University Orchestra will give its first concert of the season March 12, in Villard Hall. The program will contain orchestral and ensemble num bers and solos. Mr. Frank Bardollet, the new teach er of flute in the University School of Music, will play in the Orchestra from now on. Mr. Bardollet has been for 14 years connected with the large Symphony Orchestra. He comes to the University from the Minneapolis Symphony, where he played the flute. Mr. Bardollet will play one of the solo numbers at the Orchestra concert. The Orchestra recently purchased a set of kettle drums, which LeVerne Apperson will play in the concert. ‘"Hie Orchestra is in splendid shape,” said Miss Forbes. “All have been practicing faithfully, and our con cert will be the best ever.” Albert Gillette has recently become a member of the Orchestra. He plays first violin. NATIONAL DRAMATIC FRATER NITY ORGANIZED AT ILLINOIS Through the efforts of University of IllinQis students, a new national collegiqte dramatic fraternity has been organised, to be called “The Associated University Players.” The purpose of the organization is to exchange plays and to promote in terest in dramatics in every way pos sible. Both co-eds and men players are elligible for membership in the new society, of which the dramatic clubs of Illinois, Northwestern, Wis consin and Chicago Universities are members. A journal devoted to col , lege dramatics will be issued quar terly by the fraternity. Several pe-! titions for charters from other dra I matic clubs are being considered, and an extension will be made in a short time. Wellesley girls are making rolls of bandages for use in Red Cross work in the European war countries. EIGHT BASKET TOSSEBS TO TRAVEL 1000 MILES SEATTLE, MOSCOW, PULLMAN AND WALLA WALLA TO BE VISITED BY TEAM “BEZ" SATISFIED WITH QUINTET' Outcome of Series is More a Matter of Speculation that of Judgment By Harry Kuck. Coach Bezdek and eight basket tossers will leave Eugene Thursday af ternoon at 1:80 for Seattle, Moscow, Pullman and Walla Walla, on the one big junket of the basketball season. The outcome of the series of games which starts at Seattle with Washing ton, a week from tonight, is problem atical, and more a matter of specula tion than judgment. In summing up the situation, Coach Bezdek eulogizes upon his team as follows: “We have a better team than last year, but it’s hard to tell what will happen when the boys meet the heavy veteran teams of Washington, Idaho and Washington State College. The team is doing nicely and has attained as high a degree of efficiency as I ex pected. “I am going to take eight men on this trip; it’s a hard one and I'don’t want to be ffaught short-handed if in juries come our way.” Besides the five regulars, Dudley, C. Bigbee, Sharpe, L. Bigbee and Boy len, three men will be picked from the second string. The “scrubs,” strength ened by the addition of Wheeler have been affording close competition for the first team of late. After hooking up with- Washington in two success(ive) not (lul) games on Friday and Saturday, the bunch jour neys to Moscow and engages the Uni versity of Idaho Monday, February 8. The next night will be devoted to W. S. C. at Pullman, and Wednesday they jump to Walla Walla and meet the “Missionaries,” a practically unknown quantity. Before they return two weeks hence each member of the party will have consumed approximately 1,000 miles of mileage tape. In a recent game with Puget Sound College, of Tacoma, Davidson and Rob inson, \Vashington .regular forwards scored thirty field baskets. The for mer caged sixteen and his teammate fourteen. Travelling some, that! O. A. C. is covering about the same territory this week-end and next, with the exception of Washington, whom they met and were conquered by last week-end. The scores were 20 to 13 and 25 to 14. Somewhat encouraging, since Bez’3 crew is going to make the Aggies go some. AMERICAN LATTER-DAY NOVEL COURSE TO BE OFFERED In order to cause appreciation of latter-day American novels for their suggested solution of problems and their presentation of the American point of view, and not just for their being “rattling good” stories, a course in American latter-day novel will be given next semester by Miss Cathe rine Davis ,of the Department of Eng lish Composition. “This course will differ from a typ» ical literary course,” says Miss Da vis, “in that just the purely literary side of the books will not be consid ered as much as their attempted pre sentation of the American viewpoint and the solution of American proo lems. Faithful and thoughtful read ing of the novels will be necessary so that there shall be a ready expres sion of opinion, not necessarily con ventional, but well supported.” The course will be two hours and will come on Tuesday and Thursday, probably at 9:00 A. M. Simplified spelling has been official ly adopted by the faculty of Drake Universit;’.
