OREGON EMERALD -T PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK ' UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1915 Volume XVII, No. 83 EAST IS PROSPEROUS SAYS PRES. CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY HEAD RECENTLY j RETURNED THINKS WAR HAS HAD MEAGRE EFFECT PEOPLE CONFIDENT IN WILSON Little Change Has Taken Place Along Educational Lines: Oregon Well Known There seemed to be a fair degree of prosperity throughout the East generally, and especially in the wheat belt and manufacturing centers, said President P. L. Campbell, who has re cently returned from a three weeks’ Eastern tour, yesterday. “There was very little disturbance over the war, and even after the Lu sitania disaster, there was no exces sive discussion evident,” the Presi dent stated. “Everywhere the people seemed to be willing to defer judg ment until after President Wilson has formulated his policy. Everywhere there was a keen interest in the events of the war, and also a fixed determina tion to support the President. “Nowhere did there seem to be any great degree of over-excitement, but rather a desire to be fair. The im pressions gathered from the attitude of different people determined, I think, a very fair level of popular interest.” In response to a query as to wheth er or not the University of Oregon was very well known in the East, Presi dent Campbell said: “Yes, especially at the universities in the East and at some of the large industrial centers. The University of Oregon has sent a good many stu dents to a considerable number of the universities of the East, and without boasting at all, the students from Oregon generally have very fine rec ords. The President states that he did not notice any very marked change in educational lines in the East, but that all the universities seemed to be on about the same general basis as in the past. Of course, he added, the Eastern universities have all carried strong engineering departments for a long time. 54 ONUS REMAIN As Many Students Must Pay Full Price of $3.00 After Next Sev en Days Have you forgotten to get your copy of the 1915 Oregana? There are 54 students who have paid their $1.50, but who have not as yet called at the Y. M. C. A. to get their books. If these students do not se cure their Oreganas within the next seven days, or by June first, they will have to poy the full price of $3.00, said Leslie Tooze, circulation mana ger of this year’s publication. The total number of books delivered to date is 425, which is 55 more sub scriptions than were secured last year. The increase in the number of cop ies subscribed for was partially made by the Law and Medical students, who subscribed for 60 copies. This number is considerably larger than the subscriptions from these depart ments during previous years. High schools in Oregon will receive copies of this year’s book, as the Board of Regents have taken 20b copies in return for their appropriation toward the expense of publication. This is the first Oregana in a num ber of years that has sevured enough money to pay all their bills. Mana ger Holt said that roughly there would be a balance of about $10 to the good, provided all sources of rev enue did not fall below the estimated ' amount. OVER-ZEALOUS GOP PINCHES HENRY HOWE FOR TRESPASS Indiscreet Sophomore Taken for Cir cus Man as He Starts Across Sigma Chi Lawn “Come here, young fellow, you’re pinched,” called a policeman to Henry Howe Wednesday noon, as the latter deftly jumped up the terrace and took two steps across the Sigma Chi lawn. Two of the fellows on the porch had called to him, “Henry, we dare you to walk across the lawn.” Henry didn’t see the officer who had been stationed to keep the mot ley circus crowds off the soft terrace. But the “copper” saw hitn. The Sigma Chis fixed things up,: and the victim was* allowed to retain ■ his freedom. Registrar D. F. Hoy, of Cornell states that the average of marks for fraternity men for the first semester of the present year was 72.6 per cent, as compared with 70.7 for last year. The non-fraternity men average 71.2, also their percentage for the pre ceding year. NEW NAME AND PLANS FOR OLD LAW SCHOOL NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE OF LAW ORGANIZED OUT OF FORMER DEPARTMENT Faculty of 19 to Teach on Seventh Floor of Multnomah Court House Full details of the reorganization of the former Oregon Law School into a Northwestern College of Law, will be given out in a few days, accor ding to Carlton C. Spencer, Secreta ry of the old organization and also of the new one. “The new Law School will have a faculty of 19, including Chief Justice of the Supreme Court McBride, three Federal Judges, Gilbert, Bean and Wolverton, and the balance of the faculty will be drawn from the prom inent lawyers of Portland. Judge Gantenbein will remain the Dean of the new college. “The college will be located on the seventh floor of the Multnomah Court House, where the students will have access to the court library. There are ten court rooms in the building, and many of the classes will be held in vacant court rooms, with a judge presiding, and all the minor details of the court carried out. “The course of study will include three years of law, with special study being put on the laws of Oregon. As before in the old school, graduates from high school only will be accept ed, but it is the intention of the new faculty to stiffen the courses consid erably above the requirements of the old organization,” said Mr. Spencer. “The enrollment will be kept down as low as possible next year, but at present at least 250 students are ex pected to enter the new school.” Mr. Spencer is spending a few days in Eugene, visiting friends. He was graduated in the class of 1913. COMMENCEMENT INVITATIONS ON TAP AT BOOK EXCHANGE Commencement invitations have ar rived and are being distributed at the Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange.

CORNELL TO CAPTAIN 1916 BASEBALL NINE TEAM LOSES TWO MEN, CAPTAIN WELCH AND “BUCK” BIG BEE BY GRADUATION DISBANDING FOLLOWS MEETING Seven Letter Men Voted; Five Names Submitted to Council as Eligi ble for Letters By Harry Kuck. The Varsity baseball team wound up a season full of casualties and rain last night by electing Anson Cornell Captain of next year’s team and pass ing a resolution disbanding for the season. “Anse” added his second leadership to his athletic laurels by last night’s election. He has played three years in the Oregon infield, alternating be tween second, third and short, and has played the lead off role most of his career. His “prep” experience was gained by four years’ service at Wash ington High. The team’s action in casting off alle giance to the national pastime for the rest of the season is due to sev eral reasons, the foremost of which is impending examinations. An at tempt was made to schedule the two postponed games with O. A. C. for Tuesday, but arrangements could not be made till Saturday, and rather than struggle along trying to practice be tween showers for another week, with no hope for a championship, the boys called all bets off. Seven letter men voted for captain. They are: Marris Bigbce, Lyle Big bee, Anson Cornell, Dick Nelson, Wm. Tuerck, James Sheehy and Walter Grebe. Five additional names have been submitted dto the Athletic Council as eligible for letters. The Council will pass on them in their regular meet ing June 12th. Everything went wrong in baseball this year. Catchers were anything but up to conference standard; pitch ers rounded into shape slowly; “Skeet” “Shy” and Dick received injuries to their lower extremities which neces sitated more or less hobbling around and slowed up the machine; grounds were poor and J. Pluvius kept crab bing the show from the start. “Skeet” Bigbee sounded the key note of the players’ attitude when he said, “This is the first baseball sea son I ever wanted to see close.” Oregon will lose only two men by graduation, Captain Welch and Buck Bigbee, and Coach Bezdek is planning bigger things for 1916. PocketAthlete Cops Second Captaincy ANSON B. CORNELL LOMBARD BATTLES WITH SEE, HE IS SADDER ANO WISER MAN Hodge’s Coaching Proves of No Avail When Frosh Hero Attempts Capture Clarence Lombard Leura Jerard, Louise Adams and a score more of Freshmen in Professor R. W. Broe- j ker's 11:00 o’clock English Composi tion class were alarmed one morning recently, by the entrance, r. u. e., through an open window, of a bel licose bumblee bee. It buzzed toward the heads of the two girls sitting near Lombard. “Avaunt,” cried Leura. “Scat,” exclaimed Louise. But the bee neither avaiinted nor scatted, but hurled himself straight at their heads. They shrilled out. and ran for safety. Lombard held his ground. Memories of fly-catching must have been in his mind as he swung a cupped hand for the marauder. He was dis astrously successful The bee gave him a warm greeting. And now it buzzes vain-gloriously among the campus flowers, for Lom bard forgot to kill it. ORATORICAL CONTEST IS WON BT CROCKETT OREGON ORATOR WINS $1(00.00 PRIZE OFFERED BY SEAT TLE ATTORNEY John Veatch, ’05, Acts as Chairman of Contest in Which Alma Ma ter Is Victorious The third annual oratorical contest between Washington and Oregon was won by Peter Crockett. The contest, which resulted in a unanimous decis ion for Crockett, was held in Portland last Saturday night, at the Central Library. With his oration, t "An Outgrown State Philosophy,” Crockett also won for himself a prize of $100, which was offered by Attorney Blain, of Seattle. Arthur Glenwood, Washing— ton’s man, spoke on “A Modern Pen ology.” John Veatch, chairman of the con test, is an Oregon debater, who won the championship in the Pacific Coast Oratorical Contest in 1903. The Judges were: A. H. Harris, editor of the Portland Labor Press, and C. C. McCullock and W. F. Magill, law yers. “Both men had strong orations,” said the Oregonian. “Mr. Glenwood developed the progress which is be ing made toward a more humane treatment of prisoners. Mr. Crock ett’s oration made a plea for less se crecy in the handling of foreign af fairs. He advanced the belief that a secret policy does not get the Reac tion of an intelligent public mind, and consequently makes for misunder standing and war.” SIX WILL COMPETE FOR FAILING-BEEKMAN PRIZES No preliminaries were held for the Failing-Beekman orations, because only six contestants have entered their names as competitors for the two prizes. The finals will be held Tuesday, June 15, during Commencement week. Those who will deliver the orations next month are James Donald, Fred Hardesty, Victor Morris, Peter Crock ett, Lawrence Dinneen and Maurice Hill. At the end of the 100-yard race of the track meet which Oregon, Wash ington and O. A. C. participated in while at Red Bluff, Hayward an nounced: “Stenatrom, the fleet-footed Wash ington sprinter, first; Loucks, the tow ering Oregon speed marvel, second; O. A. C. also ran.” NIMH WILL RUN 11 CONFERENCE MEET VARSITY ALL-AROUND ATHLETE WILL RECOVER IN TIME FOR BIG EVENT NEW RECORDS ARE EXPECTED Bill is Reticent As to Oregon’s Pros pects, But Says Best Men Will Competo i ",— By DeWitt Gilbert. “Moose” will be able to> run in the conference meet at Corvallis next Sat urday, according to Bill Hayward. Bill is saying very little about his team and its chance to win the big intercollegiate track event of the yebr in the Northwest, but he laconically answers all questions with, “I don’t know who will be on the team or what it will do, but you can know that the eight men who will run for Oregon Friday will be the best ones that the University has at that time; and if they are beaten I’ll have no alibi to rriake. Some people are saying that thirty points will take the meet, but it won’t do it. The winner will have to get more than that.” me conaiuon oi tne tracK is proD lematical at this time, but if there is no more heavy rain before the event, it will probably be in fair shape, as it is a new and scientifically con structed path, with special facilities for drainage. A wide-spread interest in some particular events has been aroused by the ability and rivalry of some of the athletes entered. Those in which the competition is expected to be par ticularly keen and which the follow ers of the sport in this part of the country are watching specially are t1 e 4^0, mile, two-mile and half, while considerable interest is center ing around the javelin and discus be cause of the probability that new rec ords will be established in these events. Loucks, Oregon’s conference record bolder in the 440, and Kadderly of O A. C., who defeated the “Grasshop per” in the quarter at San Francisco recently, are counted upon to furnish a race which will come near the rec ord of 49 3-5 seconds. Chet Huggins, Reynolds of 0. A. C., and Clyde of Washington, the lat ter of whom holds the mile record, will meet in a four-lap jog that ought to mean hot competition and good time. It is “Chet’s” last conference meet, and the old veteran can be counted upon to 'run the best race of his long career. The conference record for the two mile run is comparatively slow and will in all probability be bettered in the struggle between "Mose” Payne ar d Guy Hobgood of 0. A. C. The lrtter holds the Coast intercollegi ate record for the distance, which is v seconds faster than the conference record, but he has not been able to touch this mark in any open compa ction so far this year. Payne best ed him at San Francisco and has run the two miles in practice faster than Hodgood’s record. In the half, Clyde of Washington, and Coleman and Reynolds of O. A. C., are all capable of pushing “Cot ton” Nelson, who established a rec ord of 1:57.2 in the same meet last year to his limit, but it is doubtful if these men will be able to do theij: best, as they will probably have to enter in other events. Cole, the Aggies’ discus man, has scaled the flapjack nearly ten feet be yond his own Coast recofrd already this spring, and was, of course, con ceded the event before Edmondson, of Washington, hurled the discus over 140 feet. Big "Buck” Phillips, of Idaho, who holds the American record with the javelin, bids fair, with a new form *»f throwing which he h*s developed and (Continued on I^aat page)
