OREGON EMERALD VOL. 17. EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1915. NO. 17. liUUNGIL TO DISCUSS WEIGHTY MEASURES Reports On Over Organization, Student Bank, Homecoming and Library Will Be Read. REMEDIES ARE SUGGESTED Meetings to Be Held Bi-Weekly So as to Have Student Body Present Is New Plan. Among the new subjects to be dis cussed at the student council meeting Wednesday evening are those of camp us organization, the proposed student bank, contributions to the woman’s building, and the overcrowded con dition of the library during study hours. According to the council, there are so many clubs and societies on the campus that the students have theii hours so crowded that they are un able to devote their time to activities concerning the whole institution. One plan that has been suggested as a remedy is that clubs must obtain a permit from the council before they shall ibe allowed to organize. The student bank is not a new sub ject. In many high schools and some colleges it has been successfully work ed out by having the banks of the city subscribe to the capital, for the bank located on the campus. In this case the commerce 'department would probably have charge of it. In order to increase the woman’s building fund, it has been proposed that the Woman’s league take out a 10-year endowment insurance policy, the women dividing up the expense equally and then the whole sum being turned over to the fund when it falls due. As a remedy for the overcrowding of the library during the '•morning hours, when many of the students have found it necessary to either stand up or sit on the steps, it is proposed that the periodicals be moved to the steel racks in the back of the building, thus allowing a large space for additional tables. Reports will be made by the home-coming week committee, Max Sommers, chairman, cooperative store committee, Chester Miller, chairman; industry committee, Cleve land Simpkins, chairman, and the modification of the cut rule com mittee, Max Sommers, chairman. The cooperative store has been discussed at a meeting of Dr. D. W. Morton, head of the school of commerce, Pres ident Campbell, and J. D. Poster, Y. M. C. A. secretary, and it has been proposed that the logical time tc start this would be when the book exchange passes out of the hands of the Y. M. C. A., on January 1. The commerce school will then take charge of the exchange, and if the store is to be installed they couR add such things as stationery, schoo supplies, and confectionery to its stock. Only articles involving £ small investment of capital would b< handled at the beginning. As an aid to students working theii way through the University, the in dustrial committee has been working in conjunction with the Eugene Com mercial club in searching for idea: on the establishment of a lead penci or broom factory, which would no require skilled labor or regula: hours. o Due to the large amount of worl before the student council, it i hoped that a change of rules wil be effected, so that members of th. entire student body may be taken ii and the meeting held each week, in stead of bi-weekly. These meeting are to lie made more open than here tofore. and it is urged that as man, as can, attend the one Wednesda night in Professor Ayer’s room, oi the second floor of the librar building, at 7 o’clock. StudentsatU.ofO. in 1928 to be 3000 Mathematician Procrastinates and Makes Statement of “Inevitable” Result. All but four counties of Oregon, eleven other states, of which Penn sylvania is the farthest east, and two foreign countries, Canada and New Zealand, are represented at the University of Oregon. A compilation of statistics is being made, showing how many students come from each county, state, and countries represented. A partial list of counties is as follows: Lane, 24 9 (208 from Eugene); Multnomah, 156 (154 from Port land; Marion, 27; Douglas, 23; Clatsop, 18; Yamhill, 17; Clackamas, 15; Polk, 15; Coos, 14; Umatilla, 14; Union, 14; Wasco, 11; Malheur, 10; Baker, 11; Sherman, 4; Tillamook, 4; Crook, 3; Gilliam, 2; Wallowa, 2; Washington, 2; Morrow, 2; Colum bia, 2. The several Chinese and Japanese students attending the University are registered as belonging to this state. This semester’s registration up to the present time is approximately 800. Thirteen years ago it was about 200. According to Professor E. E. DeCou, head of the mathematics de partment, each year’s registration has shown a fairly constant increase of 10 per cent over that of the pre ceding year. If this rate of increase continues 13 years more there will be something over 300 students at tending the University. HOraiEAM 10 MEET 0.1C. SOON IS HOPE Girls in Good Condition, Says Miss Goldsmith. Practice Three Times Weekly. The girls’ hockey team is now practicing three times a week, and Miss Goldsmith hopes to arrange a game with O. A. C. for two weeks from Saturday. The game scheduled for last week had to be postponed on account of a threatened small-pox epidemic at O. A. C. Only one case developed and as all the girls have been vaccinated, the danger seems to be passed. The Oregon team is in good con dition and has plenty of spirit and they only need the support of the students to have a winning aggrega tion, according to Miss Goldsmith. “Those showing up well are: Mar garet Crosby, captain, Jennie Hunter, Esther Furuset, Ethel Murry and Jean Bell,” said Miss Goldsmith. “The team is experiencing some dif ficulty playing on the present field, because the latter is rough and the stubble has not been cut. A little bit of playing maizes it very slick and so causes many bruises and sprains.” The field should be scraped, leveled, and rolled to make it suitable for hockey, says the coach. New shin guards, balls and hockey sticks have been provided for the players, and benches will be pro vided for spectators at the O. A. C. ’ game. ' Next year it is hoped that inter class games can be arranged and also games with Reed College and O. A. C. Legislature Makes Record <»itt The legislature of Illinois has pass ed a bill that grants the University 1 of Illinois the sum of $5,000,000, which is said to be the largest ever ’ granted at one time by a statd to an ’ educational institution. f Evelyn Harding, ’14, and Lucile 1 Shepard, ’15, are among the recent ’ visitors at the exposition. QUESTION OF SHOPS FOR STUDENTS IS UP Cleve Simpkins, Chairman of Committee, Makes Tour of Business Men. Shall the University start a new industry near the campus to provide permanent work for students who are self-supporting? This question, the outgrowth of a suggestion made by Lamar Tooze and Botliwell Avi son, is under serious discussion at1 the present time. Cleve Simpkins, chairman of the committee to investigate the matter, said, in speaking of it, “I visited many of the prominent business men of the city and they all considered the idea a good one. There are, of course, many phases of the question to be considered. What industry would be suited to the city of Eu gene? What raw materials procur able? How much capital necessary to put it through? Will we be able to market the article once it is pro duced? We must take into consider ation the fact that the students are most all unskilled workmen, and that a market might be a difficulty. I do not think people would buy sim ply because the students made the ar ticle. “There are many possibilities around Eugene for a new industry. For instance, a broom or furniture factory would be practical,consider ing the raw materials necessary; also a brick, tile or potter stone factory might be practical. Metal art work on hard surafce metals might be added to the list. “The factory would be erected as near the campus as possible. The work would, of course, be piece work. Plans are indefinite as yet, and the realization of this idea is far in the future.” President Campbell heartily fa vored the plan. “It is an experiment worth trying, and one 1 should like to see succeed. If permanent work were assured the students, the Uni versity would have an increased reg istration, and that is what we need. That is also what the state needs; the more educated citizens the bet ter off Oregon would be. Our duty is to educate for citizenship. I have seen this plan of a University indus try worked out successfully several times. For instance, the Sophie Nowcombe College of Tulane makes the Newcombe pottery, with sales amounting to several thousand dol lars each year. The clay around Eu gene is good and art craft might be furthered with success. A market, of course, would have to be worked ' up, which would be a comparatively easy matter, I think. People would j want to help the students.” SOCCER SQUAD NON GETTING UNDER WHY Advent of Veterans Will Im prove Outlook. Tuerck and Spellman in Football. (By Captain Sheehy) Twenty-five soccerites are chasing the ball over the lot every Tuesday and Thursday nights, under the di rection of Coach Dyment. The old baseball field is at present the scene of action. As soon as the Varsity packs away their moleskins for the season, the squad will move over to Kincaid field. Newly painted goal posts will be erected and the grid iron will be lined off according to association measurements. Predictions at this stage of the game are as useless as alibis for our drubbing at the hands of Washington State College. One thing is certain, that there is plenty of chance for new men to make the team, no matter if they have never played the game be fore. Pox, Smith, and Nelson are the re cruits who have shown any class as yet. Fox will bolster up a somewhat weak forward line, playing outside right. Smith, although a bit clumsy on his feet, shows promise of developing into a good man. Nelson, a freshman, appears to be a dark horse. He handles himself well and is an exceptionally good dribbler. Of the old men, Campbell and Pearson are showing mid-season form. Both are fast, aggressive, and can kick with either foot. Tureck, Spellman, Gorescky, and Ralston have not turned out as yet, owing to the pressure of other duties. With the addition of these four veterans chances for a winning eleven will take on better aspects. Multnomah club will again meet the lemon-yellow in two games. Both contests will be played In the early part of December. Columbia Univer sity of Portland may also be en ticed into a contest. Should the Ag gies put out a team, they, too, will be taken on by the Varsity. Course In U. Ideals (liven at Kansas University of Kansas, Oct 20, 1915. —Feeling that students leave school without a full appreciation of the work of the institution, the authorl ies of the University of Kansas are onsidering a class in “University His tory and Ideals” for freshmen. If the matter is favorably acted upon, one hour’s credit will be given and the history of the school, when it was founded, its growth, ideals and pre sent status among other institutions will be the main topics for class dis cussion and outside reading. Faculty Members Give Opinions On Athletics Did the faculty accomplish any thing drastic in the realm of inter collegiate athletics last Thursday? Will a faculty member give the whole of his real opinion on the ath letic question if he knows he is “speaking for the press?” Do the professors on the campus really see the side of the coaches, or of the men on the teams? These questions, suggested by a faculty member, may have some bearing on the sentiments expressed below apropos of the faculty action last week, a summary of which was published in Saturday’s Emerald. “The work of the committee was very thorough and satifactory. The members went at it sympathetically,” commented President Campbell. “If the results are not entirely perfect, at least they are very good. “The basketball restriction is an experiment. But practically every* one whom basketball concerned was willing to try it. The regulation on basketball will go into effect tbit year, 'because no schedules have been made. Basketball has always been a loss financially, anyhow. Be cause of the fact that the floor wil now be available for fraternity anc society teams, interest in basketbal will probably be just as keen0 as ii was last year. “We need intercollegiate sports ai an ethical laboratory,” continuec President Campbell. “They offer t chance for the demonstration of fln< sportsmanship. The game of No vein her 20 will offer an unusual op portunlty to students to display th< (Continued on Page Four) Feminist Satirizes ‘Delt’Dog in Poesy Humane Appeal Asks That Mill race Date Be Made For the Canine “Rex.” (By “Add” Epping) We’re appealing to all wtao’re hu mane.

FROSH TREAT AGGIE ROOKS TO FLOUNCING 19-ers Whip Corvallis Rivals By An Even Dozen Points. Jabbing their opponents’ heavy de fense for constant gains, outplaying and outthinklng the Aggies, Oregon’s Frosh whipped the O. A. C. Hooks 12 to 0 at Corvallis last Saturday. The first score was put over in the third quarter, when Hoisington, 1919 fullback, ended a long, steady advance by a final plunge over the goal. Again, in the last quarter, Morfitt, quarter, peretrating the line Oregon scored on a straight buck, and racing 40 yards for another touchdown. The turf field was badly cut up, slow and slimy. It was with great difficulty and frequent fumbles that the ball was handled at all—punts and passes being hazardous under takings. Throughout the whole game the Frosh played on the offensive., keep the ball in the territory of their ad versaries and dangerously near the goal line. It was the steady and con siderable gains of Mast and Holslng ton, Oregon’s two most consistent backs, that was directly responsible for the victory. The defensive work of the line was commendable, but was considerably hampered by the precarious footing. This same mud accounted for the failure of Miller to kick either of the goals. The Oregon lineup was as follows: Cook and Wilson, ends; Madden and Miller, tackles; Williams ami Piel, guards; Downward, center; Morfitt, quarter; Jensen and Mast halves; Hoisington,ofull. fttiMk'nts Contribute $100,000 The students at the University o , Illinois have contributed $100,00( . toward a union building, to be i , home for every Illinois man, ever , tafter lye has finished his eolleg< . course.
