PLAN TO STANDARDIZE
.. SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
ALREADY ORGANIZiEDo COURSES
MAY BECOME DISTINCT
DEPARTMENT
DEGREE OF A.B. TO BE 6IVEN
Graduates Will Take State Examina
tion to Qualify as Certified
Public Accountants
If plans which are being considered
materialize, next year there will be
a full-fledged Department of Com^
merce in the University, with a dean,
prescribed classes, and a standard
three-year course, which will compare
favorably with that of any other uni
versity. The School of Commerce
was first organized this year under
the management of the Department of
Economics. All the classes neces
sary for first year work have been
given on the campus, but not organ
ized in a dstinct department.
A three-year course is the stand
ard. Its graduates here will be pre
pared to take the examination for
the degree C. P. A., or Certified Pub
lic Accountant. This examination is
required by the state on the same
principle as examinations are required
for physicians or dentists.
The proposed course has not been
entirely worked out, but will include
three years of accounting and audit
ing. New courses will be added as
needed.
Professor Sowers, instructor in
Commerce, thinks that the work in
the Freshman and Sophomore years
should be largely ‘prescribed. He sug
gests the following as a tentative
list of required subjects:
Freshman year: Prof. W. F. G.
Thatchers Business English; Prof.
W. D. Smith’s Economic Gteology;
History, American, English or An
cient; Science; Chemistry or Physics;
Elementary Accounting; Language,
French or German.
Sophomore year: Psychology, Bus
iness Organization and Administra
tion; History; Advanced Accounting;
Money and Banking; . Principles of
Economics.
Courses already given which are in
line with the work in Commerce are
Prof. E. E. DeCou’s Mathematics of
Investment and the Advertising class
es. A course in Resources of the
Northwest, Professor Sowers says,
is needed. Reed College has such a
course. A class in South American
Trade may be given next year with
the extension of the course. For Jun
iors and Seniors, more instructors
would probably be necessary, says
Professor Sowers.
A letter recently received from the
Lumbermen’s National Bank of Port
land suggests that the bank may be
able to offer positions to graduates
of the new Commerce Department.
The department will not grant a
degree o&ier than B. A. to graduates,
according to President Campbell.
Some Schools of Commerce grant the
degree B. S. C., Bachelor of Commer
cial Science. Wisconsin, for exam
ple, however, grants only B. A. The
Wharton School of Commerce of the
University of Pennsylvania gives a
Certificate of Proficiency to students
caring to complete only two years
work.
TWENTY REQUESTS FOR CATA
LOGUES RECEIVED WEEKLY
The Registrar’s office is receiving
requests for catalogues at the rate
of 20 a week. Many of these letters
are from high school students who
plan to attend the University next
year.
“We are going to have 1,000 Fresh
men here next year,” reiterated Dr.
John Straub.

Co-Ed Checker Tournaments in Book)
° Exchange to Come Under the
Ban
Petty gambling ‘is again running
rife at the Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange.
It has developed that co-eds have
recently been playing checkers for the
Hersheys. The Y. M. C. A. furnishes
the checker boards upon which the
games are played.
Last year the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet,
exercising one of its prerogatives,
enacted legislation to the effect that
all penny matching et cetera were
under the ban and must be discontin
ued.
The Y. M. authorities intend placing
a ‘check” on future checker tourna
ments where the “I-win-and-you
lose” question is at stake.
The game with the Colored Giants
will be played at Midway, if it is
played at all. Admission 25 cents.
Student tickets don’t go with the “Gi

Four Year Guider of University As
sociation to Enter Divinity
School in Chicago
Charles W. Koyl, for four years
General Secretary of the University
Y. M. C. A., will not be a candidate
for re-election when his year is up in
June. Mr. Koyl told an Emerald re
porter today he would enter the Di
vinity School of the University of
Chicago to fit himself for further
Christian work. When he finishes his
course there, Mr. Koyl intends to go
to China or India as a missionary or
do Christian work in the United
States. ,
Each year since his election to tne
general secretaryship in 1911, Mr.
Koyl has received an increase in,sal
ary. He now receives $1,200 a year.
Since Mr. Koyl has taken charge of
the Y. M. C. A., 593 jobs have been
; secured for men students and 152 men
have worked their entire way through
college with the assistance of the
University organization.
The book exchange has handled
$1,580 during the four years. Mem
bership in the Association has in
creased from 35 to 58 per cent of the
men in the University. Mr. Koyl was
instrumental in introducing sex-ed
ucation among Association activities.
Last year the Oregon Y. M. C. A.
headed the list of Pacific Coast col
leges for Bible study classes and at
tendance.
Mr. Koyl is a graduate of the Uni
versity.

ON PLUVIAL KINCAID
INUNDATED FIELD UPSETS ALL
TRAINING—SPEEDERS PRAY
FOR OLD SOL
SQUAD FACES L0N6 SEASON
Hayward Must Solve Problem of
Keeping Men in Pink of
Condition
By Floyd Westerfield.
Verily the quarter-mile track in
Kincaid Field is more fitted for aqua
tic stunts than for any kind of track
work. J. Pluvius is responsible for
the present state of affairs, but Old
Sol is billed for a return engagement
in the near future.
Monday the work-outs were slow
and intermittent showers prevented
the men from doing much work. For
the most part slow, slippery “trot
arounds” and a few starts were the
only maneuvers attempted. As each
man was handicapped by pounds of
mud that adhered tenaciously to the
pedal extremities, the only speed that
was shown was in the return to the
gymnasium. Shot putters were re
quired to do submarine stunts every
time the shot hit the ground.
Freshmen have been tacking paper
over the holes and cracks in the shed
over the jumping pit. If the old shed
survives the gentle zephyrs which no v
cause it to sway and creak, the run
ning for the next few days will ne
there.
But the rain will knock the Oregon
track squad out of their stride. Dur
ing the previous warm days the men
were getting into shape; now they
must go back to the early season
style of training.
“To do good work the men must
train consistently, and they can’t do
it with this kind of weather,” said
“Bill” yesterday. “The fellows are
doing good, the prospects are fine,
and with warm weather from now on
till the Columbia meet we ought to
be able to do something.”
Another problem that confronts
“Bill” Hayward is that of keeping
the men in the “pink” for the excep
tionally long track season. “If the
men are up to A 1 shape for the Co
lumbia meet, there is a chance that
they may grow stale before the sea
son closes. We have a long and a
hard season ahead and I don’t feel
like putting the boys in the best pos
sible condition so early in the sea
son. If the season was short the men
could hold up under those condition,
but the number of trips, and the dis
tances to be travelled in the next
months does not warrant working the
men to the limit.”
31.144 HARVARD MEN HAVE
DEGREES; 30% HAVE SEVERAL0
According to figures from the Quin
tennialc cataalogue, 31,144 degrees
are at present held by Harvard men.
Of this number 30 per cent hold
two or more degrees from the uni
versity. James Bryce, LL. D., ’07,
Litt. D. ’09, holds 22 academic titles,
thereby heading the list of degree
holders. Theodore Roosevelt, ’80, and
S. N. Newcomb, ’84, stand next on
the list, holding 18 degrees each.
Nicholas Murray Butler is the proud
possessor of 17, while Dr. Charles W.
Eliot has amassed but 11, and Pres
ident A. Lawrence Lowell has only
nine.
Five cases of smallpox have been
discovered at the-University of Illi-,
nois. It has been ordered by the fac
ulty that all students be vaccinated.
A model of the campus of the Uni
versity of Illinois fifteen feet long and
eight feet wide, which was made at
the cost of $1,000, will be sent for ex
hibition at San Francisco exposition

OREGON FENCE BUSTERS NOSE

BY 7 TO 6 SCORE
BOTH TEAMS PLAY IN TRANCE
Aborigines Dream of Happy Hunting
Ground, While Locals Show Ef
fect of Hopless Diet
By Rex Kay.
Chemawa went down before the Or
egon team for the second time last
Saturday, but though the Redskins
bit the dust, the palefaces have littie
to be proud of. It was a poor exhibi
tion of the national game. The In
dians gathered in but four clean hits
to Oregon’s 12, yet boneheads and
bush league playing kept the Univer
sity men down to a total of seven
scores and handed six unearned tal
lies to the visitors.
For Oregon, Tuerck took the slab
for the first six innings and allowed
but three hits, although the warriors
popped the ball pretty regularly. Good
support would have kept the bases
empty most of the time. Bill had
their number and fed them anything
he desired; they were not at all-par
ticular and took a swing at all kinds.
In spite of a sore arm, Tuerck put up
a good game. He was never in dan
ger.
Johnnie Beckett made his debut into
Varsity baseball in the sixth ad got
out with only one clean hit marked
against him.
A fairly-good sized crowd watched
the game—from the sidewalk. It has
been decided that since there are nice
new bleachers there must be occu
pants for them, hence a fence is being
built around the field.
The game was void of all sensation
al plays with the exception of a run
ning one-handed catch by Sheehy in
center field and a running one-handed
scoop by Grebe. Both catches brought
the crowd to its feet, as either should
have been good for at least one or
two bases.
Twice Oregon had the bases full
and was unable to come through with
a score. It raineU part of the after
noon, which might account for the
way in which the Indians moped
through the game with but one or
two spurts of fight. They had little
on Oregon for sloppy work at that.
Coach Bezdek is not at all pleased
with the showing. “It was mighty
poor work,” he said.
Cornell started the game off with
a strike-out. Grebe followed for a
nice two-base hit. “Skeeter” followed
with another, and Grebe went to third.
Nelson came up and put the ball out
in left .field of<*r a two bagg&r and
brought in Grebe and Bigbedi
In the second inning Tuerck con
nected for a single and brought in
Liev^ellen; Cornell took base on balls,
and a drive into center by Grebe
obrought him in for a score. It looked
at this stage as though the Indians
were losing their tom tom for fair.
They took new life in the third,
however, and started a war dance
when they got three men on bases
through errors on Oregon. Chief Ad
ams came to bat and with bases full
tomahawked a nice one into right
field. Grebe recovered the ball and
held it long enough to allow three to
ramble in. Elk scored on an over
throw to third.
At this stage of the game the tribe
.was wearing the medicine hat and
the Whites were looking pale. But
Oregon took a rally, Lyle Bigbee and
Sheehy each got a hit, M. Bigbee sac
rifice and advance dthem, and they
came in on errors.
Oregon made the next score in the
fifth, when M. Bigbee made a drive
to center which should have been good
for a nice single, but White let the

GERMAN PROFESSOR FIDOLES
WHILE GLASS SINGS LESSON
“Might As Well Tunc Up, While We
Are About It,” Says
O’Donnell
It was not Tipperary, as one girl
on the campus supposed, that George
O’DonneH's German II clnss was sing
ing Friday morning about 9:30. Nei
ther did the strainu of violin music
which accompanied the singing indi
cate that Mr.-O’Donnell is go
ing to stage a musical comedy “for the
ultimate good of the University."
The explanation is merely that a
class has taken up a volume of Ger
man songs for translation. At the
class hour Mr. O’Donnell permitted
the singing of several of the songs
and even got out his violin, which
was standing in the corner, and joined
in.
“We might as well tune up while
we’re about it,” he agreed, swinging
into “Oh, Tannenbaum,” “they may
object to our doing it again.”
PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY

melodies.
It is interesting to note that the
words of the American poet and the
spirit of the Indian were caught and
set to music by an English negro, Col
eridy-c-Caylor.
In this cantata occurs what is said
to be the most beautiful tenor solo
ever written, “Onaway, Awake Be
loved,” and to sing this song the so
ciety has engaged the phenomenal
tenor, Theo. Karl Johnston, of Seat
tle. Mr. Johnston will sing the fa

DR. KUYKENDALL, ’08, GIVES AD
DRESS BEFORE PRE-MEDICS
Dr. J. Eberle Kuykendall, of Eu
gene, recently gave an address before
the Pi Sigma Phi pre-medical frater
nity. His subject was “Therapeusis
of Internal Secretion Glands.” The
lecture was mainly a discussion of the
various theories of American and Eu.
ropean scientists on the purposes of
the secretion glands.
The society intends to secure sev
eral more lecturers this year.
At the University of Pennsylvania
a plan is under foot to hold 8:00

TEDOfMD SUFFRAGE
ROOSEVELT SAYS MARY ANTIN
CONVERTED HIM TO VOTES
FOR WOMEN
NAS RAISED IN THE SLUMS
Many Want to Entertain Her—Poor
Health Forbids Her to
Accept
__
Mary Antir., who lectures in Villard
Hall Thursday evening, April 1, on
“America in the Light of the Euro
pean War,” a Jewess, born in “the
pale” of Russia and brought up in
the slums of America, is the woman
of Whom Theodore Roosevelt said:
“After I had talked with Mary Antin
and found out what she had done and
saw what she was, I was converted
to woman suffrage.”
This of the foreigner who lived in
the slum district of Boston, and who
describes her home at thje time of her
entrance to the Girls Latin School
in the following way:
“Our new home consisted of five
small rooms, up two flights of stairs
with the right of way through the
dark corridors. In the parlor the
dingy paper hung In rags, and the
plaster often fell in chunks. One of
the bed rooms was absolutely dark
and air tight. The kttcnen windows
looked out on a dirty court, at the
b ck of which was the rear tenement
of the estate. We were seven in five
rooms—we were bound to be always
in each other’s way.
“In front of the door in passing out,
I squeeze through a group of chil
dren. They are going to play tag
and ane counting to see who should
be ‘it’—
‘My mother and your mother went
out to hang clothes,
“ ‘My mother gave your mother a
punch in the nose.’
“If the children’s couplet did not
give a vivid picture of the life, man
ners and customs of Dover street, no
description of mine can ever do bo.”
Miss Antin is now in Portland, and
will speak there on Wedneseday ev
ening, March 81. She will arrive here
at 2:15 P. M. Thursday and will leave
at 1:00 o’clock that night for San
Francisco.
While the D. A. R., the sororities
and the townspeople have asked to
entertain Mary Antin during her stay
here, she is to be quietly entertained
at the home of Dr. Bertha Stuart, as
her physicians have advised that she
accept no offers of formal entertain
ment because of her present poor
health.
Miss Ruth Guppy, Dean of Women,
has received a §fcgat deal of informa
,tion „%B.°to the work o°f Mary Antifi's
lectures and of the message she has
to deliver. 0
“She feels that she has a message
to speak for°the interest of America,”
Miss Guppy said, “for she is very in.
tensely an American. It seems natur
al that she should feel so when we re
member that our country has offered
her a refuge from Russian oppres
sion, and that here she has been giv
en a chance to learn and develop.
Her usual lecture subjects are on vital
questions of American life and on im
migration.
“It is up to Eugene to show ap
preciation of one of the greatest wo
men of the United States by having
a large audience at her lecture. We
should show appreciation of Mary An
tin as enthusiastically as other col
lege towns have done.”
The tickets are 50 cents general ad
mission, and 35 cents for students.

College of Hawaii are the only re
