BIG PAJAMA PARADE LOTS OF OREGON PEP EAR-SPLITTING OSKIES Merlin Batley Plans For More Yell Practices Before the Idaho Game. OREGON ENTHUSIASM STARTING Show Visitors That Oregon Is On the Map Home Coming Day. “Big rally,” said Merlin Batley, when asked what plans of celebra tion have been laid, preliminary to the U. of O.-Idaho game, two weeks from Saturday. “There will be the usual pajama parade, going from house to house, collecting everybody on the route and gaining both in size and pep. Our brass band will be there that night and will do all it can to add to the outburst of Oregon spirit. Af ter having completely routed out ev ery Oregon student we will probably head toward town, serpentine up and down the streets and wake up the natives with a few ear-splitting ‘oskies.’ “Those who have a superabund ance of pep will have a chance to work up freak costumes or dress in outlandish clothes. For the most original makeups, prizes will be given. “Before this carnival is held, how ever, we must have a couple of good yell practices in order to get the rooters in shape for the two big games. “Home-coming day is November 20, the day of the O. A. C. game. This is beyond doubt the greatest day of the year and we want to show the visitors that Oregon is on the map bigger than ever and that Oregon en thusiasm still exists. The usual pa rade will be held the night before, led by autos carrying the football team. "Villard will be the scene of the festivities that night. Speeches will be made by Bill and Bez and promi nent members of the student body. A committee, consisting of Rowland Geary, Bob McMurray, John Dolph, Walter Church, Leslie Tooze, and has been appointed to make all neces sary arrangements and to secure the cooperation of Eugene business man in decorating the streets. WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM SHOWS CHAMP. PROSPECTS “The prospects for a winning girl’s hockey team this year are very good,” said Miss Goldsmith, the hockey coach. “The majority of last year's team have been out for practice, and there is some promising material among the freshmen. Effie Maguire for backfield, Ethel Murray for wing, and Ruby Bogue for forward line, are showing up well,” says Miss Goldsmith. The University team has already offered October 20 as the date for the first game, but thus far no word has been received from the Oregon Agricultural college. The girls are out for practice ev ery night. According to Mr. Dy ment, who coached them last Thurs day afternoon, they need a great deal of practice before they will be ready for a game. Professor C. V. Dyment has been appointed the third faculty member v- of the athletic council. This ap pointment fills the vacancy made by the withdrawal from the University of H. B. Leonard, now head of the department of mathematics at the University of Arizona. N Harvard Chitchat Assailed as Inane Table Talk Slanders Women, Bristles With Personalities, Says College Editor. Cambridge, Oct. 6.—Harvard stu dents are accused of being frivolous, if not worse, in their table by the Harvard Crimson, every one of the thousands who er.t in Memorial hall being included in the criticism. The editorial says: “One thousand men are each wast ing three hours a day in intellecutal dejection which might profitably be spent in cultivating intelligent thought. "Women, the war, athletics and personalities comprise the range of subjects. Among the first named, virtue is apparently unknown. The weaker sex is subject to slandering remarks whose sole aim is fill a gap in the conversation. “When the talk wanders to the war, some one says, ‘I hope those damned -— get licked,” and the subject is closed. Even on athletics, where the interest is keenest, desul tory remarks and blasphemies on Yale are the main element. Inter spersing everything are biting per sonalities on another’s physical or mental qualities. A tone of affected cynicism crowns the whole.” Triple A Elects Triple A, the freshman girls’ so ciety elected the following officers at the meeting held Wednesday at the Kappa Alpha Theta house: President, Dorothy Dunn; vice president, Mar ian Coffey; secretary and treasurer, Peggy Boylan; editor, Lillian Por ter. This was the second meeting and was well attended. Plans for a hike and “weeny” roast on Skin ner's butte the afternopn of October 20 were discussed. BARNETT WRITES ON OREGON SYSTEM Work to Be Published Soon; Is Considered a Valuable Lit erary Contribution. A book entitled "The Initiative, Referendum and Recall in Oregon." by Dr. James D. Barnett, professor of political science, is now being print ed by the MacMillan company. It will be published October 27. i In this book Dr. Barnett tells of | the practical operations of the in ! itiative, referendum and recall in ^ Oregon. He discusses both their , good and bad features and compares the laws of Oregon with those of other states and suggests changes that should be made in Oregon’s system. "I am in favor of the initiative, referendum and recall,” said Dr. Barnett, in speaking of his book. "They have, however, some bad fea tures, but these can be easily rem edied. In my book I explain how.” In writing of Dr. Barnett’s book, the MacMillan company says the following: “Professor Barnett makes this book a contribution to literature of a timely and important subject. A careful observer and a trained stu dent, he has presented fresh mate rial collected on the spot, forming a striking contrast to the generali ties which have come from the pens of many writers pro and con. His text is well arranged and treats all the questions raised by the system.” i The department of pharmacy of Oregon Agriculture college has just received notice of its admission to j the American Conference of Phar maceutical Faculties. The admission j of a school involves entrance re quirements, studies equipment qual ifications of the instruct.iral force. DEDICATORY PLAY IS BRIGHT BUT CREAKY Faculty Presentation of “The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” Wins Praise. LI6HTING EFFECTS EXCELLENT Clearness of Enunciation and Clever Work of Individual Stars Lend a Charm. (By James H. Cellars) Guild hall, the “little theatre” in Johnson hall, was formally opened last night by the presentation of Je rome K. Jerome’s “The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” given fiy members of the Drama Guild of the University. An opening address of dedication and congratulation to the University on its acquirement was given by President Campbell. The wonderful inspiration of Mr. Jerome shown brightly through the slow moving and creaking machinery of amateur production. The acting abounded with affectations and over long dramatic pauses which seemed intqnded to allow the moral to sink in. * Instead, as a rule, so much time was given that it generally sank through amd kept the audience in a state of suspense hoping against hope that the actors would remember the lines at last. The acting was not, however, with out a few br’ght spots. That of Mrs. Allen was excellent, for the sympa thetic way in which she portrayed “Stasia,” the little cockney slavey and "bad un;” and that of Mr. Weiss for the naturalness and confidence with which he interpreted the part of “Jape Samuels,” the Jewish swind ler. | Professor A. F. Reddie took the : leading part as the occupant of the j third floor back, who, by his super human insight into the good that lies behind the bad in all humanity and by an equally superhuman tact turns j the lives of the occupants of Mrs. ! Sharpe s boarding house into more righteous and kindly channels. The work of Mrs. Bates, Miss Wat son, Mrs. Thorne and Mr. Thacher was a shade better than that of the remaining members of the cast, al though the efforts of Miss Perkins, Miss Hair, Mr. Broecker and Mr. Bates added materially to the effect j of the play. j On the whole, the production was j worthy of a larger audience than that l which obsehved it last night. The ! lighting effects were excellent, and although the curtain, that "bete I noir” of amateur performances did ’ the expected and failed to close prop erly, it is a thing that can be easily I remedied in the future: j One of the best features of the j performance was the clearness of (Continued on Page Four) ! - - ■ ■ TRACK CAPTAIN CAN'T SEE ODEGON CHANGES With Three “0” Spikers Back to Start Olympic Sport, Hayward Has Big Job. LIGHT FULL TRAINING STARTS Rumor Has it That Payne and Muirhead May Join Squad After First Semester. (By Chester Pee, Track Captain) Chances to get away tor a cham pionship track team next spring are worth about as much as the chance* of the escape of an English battle ship, after the periscope of a German submarine has been sighted. At least that is all one can conclude af ter a careful perusal of all the facts of the case and a close scrutiny of the freshman hopefuls, from which Bill had expected to develop a team. Certainly it i* rather early In the year to make any conjectures, but those who love to slap the tdope can not see where Oregon is going to get much more than a good coat of whitewash from the old bent bucket. At present there are onl/ three let ter men in college: Nelson, con ference half mile record holder; Hamstreet, who ran the low hur dles in his freshman year, but who did not get out last year; and Fee. With Loucks, Payne, Mulrhead, Cook, Huggins, and Hoylen away from the field, the shepherd will have to search a long time before he finds men who can fill their places. Three men who have appeared on the track in the past two years will no doubt make strong bids for the team this year. They are Bull, Beld ing and Langley. These boys would have been numbered among the “O” men last year if fate had not con spired to take away the O. A. C. meet. Gorescky is another man who will carry away lots of points if he keeps on improving, as he was at the end of last season. Other men who may give account of themselves are Bill, Ford, and Montague. Staub 1*. showing fine now, but the heavy grind of spring training may be too much for him, as he has not recovered completely i from the accident of last spring. McConnell, captain of the 1914 track team, is enrolled in the law de partment, but Professor Hope is trying to discourage him from com peting in college athletics, because he will be unable to devote the neces sary time to it. From the latest reports, both Payne and Muirhead will be enrolled at the beginning of the second se mester, but no one 1* absolutely sure about this, as there are always many (Continued on Page Four.) I Progressive Dinner Shows Rare Celerity of Besiegers (By Walter H. Keniion) Half mile run, mile run, 440 yard dash, 220 yard sprint—these were the order of events at the progressive dinner, given by the Women’s league Friday evening. At the end of each I distance -awaited tempting viands oi 1 a dainty entree, a meat course | salad, ice cream, coffee and wafers | urging the participants of the pro ! gression to greater speed. | Celerity was the watchword of th« evening. As one entered any of tb« stations, quiet and speedy service was given 'by picked union waitresses of the Women's league. Cries oi “More! More! Is this all we gel here?” had no effect on the smiling (servers who hurried back and fortt I like unto members of the W. C. T. U., i serving their annual chicken dinner. | Two serpentines of nearly 150 : hungry men started on the rounds, : their emptiness somewhat allayed by j the strains of “On Oregon,” and i puffs of the weed. Then on ward the I mob moved, the aching void dimin ; ishing in direct proportion to the i progress. j The Uttlff .walks between the courses served to keep the hunger at | a keen edge, the wit flowing and the “Fats” glowing lustily. ! After all was said and eaten, the sentiment of the satisfied diners seemed to be, “Rah for the Women’s league and a greater Oregon! Let 'er ;go!” She went! Bibliophile Spurs Raggedy Pegasus Indignant Cub Turns Caustic Pen Against Sorority Tables in the Library. Look what I've perpetrated!! In the library—where studes study —and gents bull—and girls giggle and gossip—there are a lot of tables —where a fellow is supposed to sit— when he comes to bull—or study. And in the University—there are lots—a great many—sorrorltles— and these sisterhoods—which is what that means—go to the library en masse— or in the evening—to gos sip. And these sisterhoods have ap propriated—and designated — as their own—certain of the beautiful tables—which are put there for ev eryone to use—and the casual bo server would almost think—that the sisterhood owned the tables. 'Por these sisters gather about their tables and draw the chairs close together—like the boys in one of Cloran's classes—for protection. And if a guy—who wants to study—sits down at "their table— they look at him as if he was a snake—and as if he was trying to steal the secrets—of |thteir ipi|B.tier hood. Ami if a girl—from another soror ity—sits down at their frigid board —they all get up—and move—to the other end—as though she had—lep rosy—or was trying to break—one of their pledges—and then they say said things—about her—and what a bum house she belongs to—and how they would hate—to be one of them. And so—'LISTEN'—the next time you go to the library—Just look around—and see— how many per sons—you- can count—who study— standing up—rather than sitting down—at one of the holy tables.

A A * ****** (Special to The Emerald.) (By Harry L. Kuck) Pullman, Wash., Oct. 9.—Wash ington State College’s 168 pound back field ripped Oregon’s big line to shreds and won their first game from Oregon In three years. The score was 28 to 3. Oregon fought to the end, but played as if dazed. Coach Dietz’s men crisscrossed, straight bucked, and forward passed for good yard age throughout the game. Oregon’s first line of defense crumbled re peatedly and only the sensational work of Johnny Beckett backing up the line saved the lemon-yellow con tingent worse defeat. Johnny was the individual star of the game. He out-punted Dietz, averaging 40 yards to hiB opponent’s 38 and was In ev ery play. Bezdek’s men played straight foot ball for the most part, but could not gain consistently. The only Oregon score came In the second quarter, when "Shy” Huntington place-kick ed 30 yards. First Quarter The game opened with Diets kick ing to Risley. Beckett punted on the first, down, and W. 8. C. got the ball in the middle of the field. Bangs, Downe and Durham paraded down the field for a touchdown In seven minutes without losing the ball. W. S. C. tore off yardage through Oregon's right side and got within distance again, but Durham’s drop kick fell short. Second Quarter Bangs passed 20 yards to Diets (Continued on Page Four) GIRLS WILL SING PARODY SONGS NEXT TUESDAY "Honest, little Girlie, I am Strong for You.” Yes, but have you heard it sung, “Honest, good old Seabeck, I am Strong for You?" And have you heard "It’s a long, long way to go to Seabeck,” and "We're on our way to Seabeck gay?” If not, then you should go to the bungalow Tuesday afternoon at 4, and hear those song sung by a full chorus of the girls who went last summer to the Y. W. C. A. conference at Seabeck, Wash. The topic of the meeting will be, “Echoes from Seabeck,” and besides the music, all the girls will talk— about Seabeck and the time they had there. Stories about the little town, and illustrated scrap books, made by Lillie Miller, will be shown. The Y. W. C. A. guests, Miss Jane Scott. aiu| Mtiss Eleanor Hopkins, are leaving today. A breakfast was given up the race for them this morn ing. The party of 12. including Miss Gillies, the cabinet, and Mrs. C. H. Edmondson, went by canoe up to the portage and cooked their eats over a campfire.
