TO SPEAK IN MARSH
^ Y. M. C. A. BEGINS WARM CAM
PAIGN FOR LARGE ATTEN
DANCE AT MEETINGS
eO UPEBITION IS KEY ° NOTE
Oregon Moral Life Can be Complete'
ly Changed, Says Gall Seaman
at Banquet
Active work of the Greater Ore
gon Group began Tuesday evening,
when that body held luncheon in the
City Y. M. C. A. banquet hall. Gail
Seaman, religious worker of Coast
repute, was present and addressed the
k meeting.
After the “whipped cream” was
vanquished, and the last dishes were
pushed aside, Leslie Tooze, chairman
of the Greater Oregon Group, and
toastmaster of the evening, said:
“There has long been a feeling that
the Y. M. C. A. has not been follow
ing its primary object on the cam
pus. It is the duty of the Y. M. C. A.
to give a spiritual tone to the atmos
phere of University life, and up to
this year we have been unable to ac
complish good results. Last year we
tried in every way, to get a good
speaker here, but were unable to push
the deal through. This year we are
very fortunate in securing Dr. W. D.
Weatherford, of Nashville, Tennessee.
We want to make his meetings a suc
cess, and we want the fellows to co
operate with the Y. M. C. A. and help
us do it. It is for the benefit of the
* Student Body that we are getting
this man here, and it is up to this
committee to get the whole Student
Body interested in it.”
Tooze then introduced Mr. Gail Sea
man, Student Coast Secretary and
member of the International Commit
tee of the Y. M. C. A. After devot
ing some time to an account of the re
ligious work carried on, and the in
tense interest taken by other colleges,
Mr. Seaman explained:
“If great work can be done in other
colleges, there is no reason why the
moral and religious life at Oregon
cannot be completely revolutionized,
and great reseults accomplished. j
“There is altogether too much self
ishness in the lives of college men and
women. When we leave the Univer
^ sity we think we are far superior, in
tellectually, to any of our less fortun
ate friends, who have been unable or
did not desire to acquire a college
education. We demand from society
rather than contribute toward it. If
nothing more can be done than get
ting this idea of selfishness out of the
minds of the college men, we will be
doing a great work.
“The spirit of materialism domi
nates the minds of many of the stu
dents. They think little of the relig
ious and uplifting side of college life.
“I know a man in St. Louis, Mis
souri, who turned down an order for
$5,000,000 of shrapnel from a bellig
erent power of the great war just be
cause ‘he was not going to manufae
' ture anything which would destroy
the lives of men.’
“Your President told Dr. Exner that
there was very little vice in Oregon,
and that the faculty experienced little
% trouble with it, yet Dr. Exner told
me that 14 men confessed to him that
they had ben led into the midst of vice
'khen they came to this institution.
Is it not time, then, that more relig
ious and uplifting ideas are taught to
the students? That is the purpose of
these Weatherford meetings. To give
the men the spiritual view of Hie.
"Make this a University of Oregon
affair. Be faithful in the part as
signed you, even if you have to cut
classes. Get every man out and Dr.
Weatherford will do the rest. Put
the famous Oregon spirit behind it.”
Leslie Tooze asked for short speech

EVEN PROF. ALLEN FEELS
INFLUENCE OF WORLD WAR
Journalist Must Climb in Office Win
dow Because Allies Don’t Like
Germans
The European war directly caused
Prof. E. W. Allen to climb into his
own office by the window about 11:30
yesterday morning. This is why:
Some wax figures and roodels^which
’Dr. Bej-tha J3. Stuart had ordered for
her Personal Hygiene classes are se
cured from Germany by the New
York firm that puts them out. De
layed by the war, the order did not
arrive till about two weeks ago.
Hence the Personal Hygiene class,
which usualy meets in the Journalism
room outside Professor Allen’s office,
has been meeting in the Gymnasium
for about two weeks. But Thursday
it returned to the Journalism room.
Professor Allen, forgetting, per
haps, the presence of the class,
opened his door and rushed out
through the midst of the embarrassed
Freshmen, intent on his own affairs.
But being too polite to again dis
turb the ladies, he went around and
climbed in at his own window. He
wishes no one to think he was trying
to burglarize his own or anyone else’s
office.
COWS GLEE M
SINGS HERE MARCH 12
“Turn Out,” Says Student Manager,
“Do the Right Thing by
O. A. C.”
“Oregon students ought to turn out
to "the O. A. C. Glee Club concert here
on March 12 for two reasons,” says
SamMichael, manager. “First, the
O. A. C. students came out in big
numbers to the University Glee Club
concert at Corvallis, January 6, and
second, the University Student Body
will reecive half the gate receipts of
the 0. A. C. concert here.
“The 0 .A. C. club is much better
this year than ever before, although
they have a good many new voices.
Their program contains more stunts
than that of the University club and
is different in several respects.
"At our concert in Corvallis, after
dividing the proceeds equally, we made
about $85 above expenses. There was
a big house.
“The 0. A. C. club has always had a
good attendance in Eugene, as good
considering the size of the town as we
got in Corvallis. For our own inter
est, as well as to do the right thing
by the 0. A. C. club, the University
students ought to turn out. Remem
ber, the Eugene Theatre, March 12.”
INDUSTRIAL SURVEY DEPT.
DEALS WrtTI CONDENSED MILK
A survey of the world market for
condensed milk is being made by the
Department of Industrial Survey of
the University of Oregon School of
Commerce. Queries that cover the
amount of condensed milk imported,
sources of supply, prices paid, names
of importing firms, general trade con
ditions, and many other points, are
asked of consuls through the state
department, with which arrange
ments have been made for this ser
vice. »
The consular replies will be avail
able for reference to all business
firms desiring them.
“In Oregon climatic conditions are
the very best for the producing of
condensed milk. The state should be
on the world’s map as a condensed
milk exporter,” said H. R. Miller, Di
rector of the School of Commerce.
Mae Norton, ’14, of Portland, and
Bess Bach, ex-’J6, of Lebanon, spent
last week-end at the Mu Phi Epsilon
house.
MULTNOMAH MAY PLAY
RETURN SOCCER GAME
STUDENT BODY ACTION MAKES
POSSIBLE TWO CONTESTS
WITH CLUB
Prospective M. A. C. Games Will Prob
ably Decide Championship of
State
Negotiations for return soccer
games between the University and the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
were opened yesterday by Graduate
Manager Tiffany who suggested March
6, on Multnomah Field, and March
13, on Kincaid Field, as the dates.
The negotiations were made possible
by the action of the Student Body
Wednesday in voting unanimously to
authorize an exchange guarantee of
$65, each institution to keep its own
gate receipts.
These two games will be the only
ones secured by the soccer squad this
season, and practice for them began
this afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon
at 2:45 a game between 11 men of
the University squad and a town team
will be played, and beginning Monday
daily practices will be held.
The men who get the Portland trip
will be picked next Thursday. The
guarantee from Multnomah of $65 will
permit only a dozen men to go, unless
the railways agree under the week
end rate to carry a party of 15 at the
same rate as a party of 11; in that
event all 15 will be taken.
“Several players who seemed likely
to make the first team three weeks
ago have been negligent about turn
ing out since the game with Jeffer
son fell through. With Multnomah
games in prospect they will have to
train religiously, or their places will
be filled by the faithfuls,” said Cap
tain Neal Ford today.
The game against the Multnomah
team may mean a contest for the
•championship of the state. In a league
that carries this championship, Mult
nomah is now tied for first place, and
the University team, if it proves vic
torious by any chance, will claim the
state palm.
“It is scarcely conceivable that the
University can beat the crack M. A.
A. C. eleven, however,” says Colin V.
Dyment, coach of the squad.
By a coincidence, these two games
will bring together two teams in each
of which Mr. Dyment has a peculiar
personal interest. In September, 1908,
he was invited to introduce the game
in the Multnomah Club. Joining the
club, he assembled an eleven of Scotch,
English, Canadians and Americans,
that won 11 games in a row and took
the state championship. The follow
ing year he managed the team again,
reorganized it slightly and again won
| the state championship, the two elev
ens being still talked of in Portland
for the evenness and speed of their
play. He has attempted to build up
at Oregon the same speed and even
ness of play, and the contest between
the two fast elevens is expected to
attract a large attendance.
SHELTON SECURES OVER WO
FOSSILS ON TRIP UP MeKENZIE
j Mr. A. T. Shelton, field worker for
the Zoology Department of- the Uni
versity, has returned from a field trip
up the McKenzie river. According to
Prof. C. H. Edmondson, of the Zoology
Department, the trip was a most suc
cessful one. Mr. Shelton secured over
one hundred new fossils for the Zo
ology Departmenv of the University.
Lawrence J. Martin, Washington's
track coach, hails from Richmond
College, in Virginia. While there he
was an all-around track man. He
holds the world’s record for indoor
hurdles, made in the armory meet at
I Ralfrimnss m 1968.

Basketball fever will reach a climax
with campus fans when Oregon meets
O. A. C. in two games this week-end,
for the state collegiate championship.
Coach Bezdek left for Corvallis
this afternoon at 5:00 o’clock, with
eight men bent upon humbling the
Agj? ies.
“The squad has; been working hard
and are as fit as they ever will be,”
remarked the coach. “Chances are
abtut fifty-fifty for victory tonight.”
Continued reverses, both at home
and abroad, have been forgotten and
a!] eyes are focused on the one most
interesting series—that with O. A. C.
Both the “U” and the Aggies have
dropped all'their games to Washing
ton, and by about the same scores.
Oregon is credited with one win over
Idaho, while 0. A. C. has yet to break
into the win column.
Comparative scores indicate that
the teams are very evenly matched
Coach Stewart has four veterans to
form the backbone of his team: Dew
ey rnd Sieberts, at forward, and Capt.
Blagg, a Sophomore from Hood River,
and last, year’s second string man, is
Toe’s choice for center.
'lhere is not a man in the Oregon
Lneup who won his letter last year.
They are inexperienced, but fast and
full of fight. 0. A. C. will always
have a hard time beating that kind of
a team from Hugene.
Sharpe has returned to the fold
after a temporary lapse, and will
start at forward with “Skeet” Big
bee. This pair, if working right, ought
to grab a few baskets.
Captain Boylen and Lyle Bigbee
will work at guarding as usual. It
was the sterling work of this duo
that held Savage’s Washingtonians
within hailing distance last week.
“Estacada” Bob Morton is booked
to oppose Blagg at center. Both are
tyros, and Morton should have a little
easier time tonight than a week ago
against Savage.
Wheeler has been retired to the re
serve list, and together with Coss
man and Huggins, will warm the
bench.
Coach Bezdek expects his team to
foul less each game they play. Here’s
hoping so. “It slows up the game and
I won’t have it. A man can’t play
basketball and be hanging ’em on the
wall at the same time,” averred the
chief mentor.
The game will be played in O. A.
C’s new gym, which is probably the
best floor in the conference.
Tracy Strong, of Seattle, will han
dle the contest. He has refereed all
college games in Seattle this sea
son.

TRAP FOR CURIOUS DISTURBS
TRANQUILin OF STUDY ROOM
Maiden’s Inquisitiveness and Fool’s
Prank Combine With Startling
Results in Library
Peace reigned in Mr. Douglas’ sanc
tum. The tall clock nad just sounded
eight o’clock and the seven sorority
tables were well filled with their us
ual habitues. An innocent looking
book entitled “Rubber Kecks” lay
guilelessly before a maid. Curiosity
prevailed. She grabbed the boolaSnd
peered cautiously into it, overcome
with the common characteristic of her
sex—but without enough caution. An
intricate mechanism, set into the
leaves of the volume, had exploded a
powder cap. The detonation was
startling. We now draw the curtain
upon the scene and leave the rest to
imagination.
Aside from the slight agitation of
the dupe of the joke, no harm result
ed. At a late hour last night the
guilty party had not been found,
though it was slyly hinted by the Li
brary crew that the prank was per
petrated by some irresponsible, nov
elty loving male.

MOTION TO AMEND CONSTITU
TION IS LAID ON TABLE
FOR ONE WEEK
FOOTBALL MEN 6ET SWEATERS
Measure Introduced to Make Women’*
Glee £otlege Activity; Soe
• w Granted $65
The second regular meeting of the
Associated Students of the Universi
ty of Oregon, which was held Wednes
day morning in Villard Hall, was al
most entirely tnken up with proposed
amendments to the constitution, chief
of which was the one concerning a Stu
dent Body appropriation to the Ore
gana, the annual Junior publication.
After a special meeting of the Stu
dent Body last month, the Student
Council appointed a committee of 14
to investigate and report on the
amendment, which was introduced at
that time. Their meeting, which was
held last Tuesday evening, immedi
ately following that of the Board of
Regents, resulted in a vote of ten to
three against the appropriation, one
member being absent. Frank Beach
gave the committee’s report at the
meeting last Wednesday morning, and
Prentiss Brown, President of the Jun
ior class, gave a minority report .
Beach showed that by figuring on
410 pages for this year’s annual,
there would be only a deficit of $380,
which could practically be made up
by the proceeds from the Junior
Week-End, the Senior Play, and two
class dances. He also stated that
there are about $75 in the class treas
ury at present. He said:
“After going over the situation for
ahput an hour, we decided that the v
committee go on record as opposed
to the Student Body’s buying space
in the Oregana, so long as the Ore
gana was managed by a class.”
Brown, who gave the minority re
port, pointed out that the committee
spent almost its entire time in con
sidering means by which the deficit
might be made up and did not touch
on doing away with it entirely.
He stated, too, that if the Student
Body did not live up to its obligations,
the Board of Regents might withdraw
all or part of the $760 which they are
willing to appropriate if the Junior
Class can show a clean slate in re
gard to the Oregana publication.
Prentiss Brown, on behalf of the mi
jnority members, introduced a motion
i to amend Article II, Section 7, of the
constitution of the Associated Stu
dents, to read: “The Executive Com
mittee shall decide as to what shall
be officially inserted in the Oregana
by the Associated Students, and they
| shall appropriate from the funds of
the Associated Students a sum suffi
cient to eover the actual cost of this
insertion to the said Oregana.”
According to the requirements laid
down in the Student Body constitu
tion, this motion was laid on the ta
ble. It may be voted upon, however,,
any time after one week.
It was moved and seconded that it
be the sentiment of the Associated
Students that they go on record as
disfavoring the appropriation for
spaoe in the Oregana. Two standing
votes were taken; the first resulting
in 108-143 in favor of the motion,
the second 170-162 against the mo
tion. The motion therefore was lost.
A committee, composed of Lamar
Toose, chairman, Ray Gorman, Mao
Neill, Charlie Fenton, William Holt,
Emerson Merrick and Wallaee Ea
kin, are circulating a petition among
the 126 members of the Junior class,
concerning any possible deficit result
ing from the publication of this year’s
annual. The petition reads:
“We, the undersigned members of
the class of 1016 of the University of
