OREGON o EUGENE, OREGON, VOL. 17. NO. 32. GLEE CLUB PROGRAM WILL BE “BEST YET” Director R. H. Lyman Thinks Friday Concert Will Have Popular Appeal. DECEMBER 10 WILL BE DEBUT “Class, Harmony, Snappiness, Musical and Acting Ability” Says Critic Stoddard. (By MILTON A. STODDAKD) “For good variety and general popular appeal, our program for next Friday night is the best, I believe, that we have ever presented,” said--l’rof. Ralph II. Ly man, director of the men’s glee club of the University of Oregon. The local concert is usually the debut of the glee club and is really such this year, for the little journey to Junction City was just a trial trip and not a part of the theatrical “tower” proper. Club Makes Reputation. The Oregon glee club has made a real reputation for class, harmony, snappi ness and musical and acting ability. Around the state they have been spoken of as “clean-cut college fellows” and when the boys show in the home town of any member of the club, all the folks turn out and reminisce of the lad’s boyhood days when he was “some singer for a kid.” Eugene Expects Big Things.

The fourteen members of the fresh men football team,, Coach “Tick” Ma larkey, Manager Roland Geary and Pres ident P. I,. Campbell were guests of Dean John Straub at a banquet at the Hotel Osburn last evening. It was the last meeting of the team following what is considered a very successful year. In token of their appreciation of the valuable services 'rendered by Coach Malarkey, the team presented him vvth a beautiful silver cup on which was en graved “Coach Tick Malarkey from Freshmen Football Team, 11)15.” Cap tain Hoisington made the presentation speech.

Devotees of Dance to Revel at Formal Sophomore Committees Have Plans Well Under Way for Big “Struggle” in Armory. The various committees for the Soph omore hop on December 11 are getting busy. The decoration committee, headed by C. B. Corbitt, has planned embelish ment for the armory. It will be along the holiday order and consist principally of streamers and wreaths. “The hall is so big that it is hard to do any decorating at all,” said Corbitt, “What decorations we will have will not be elaborate or expensive.” The punch room will be converted into a semblance of a cave. Icicles will hang from the wall while moss rocks and green things will carry out the impress ion. A fireplace in the .middle of one side of the hall will give a cheerful effect to an elaborate gloomy setting. The electrical committee promises some good effects. Every wreath will be lighted by a colored light. The raised platform in the center of the floor will also be decorated with wreaths and elec trical devices. The miniature stage will not be left out when it comes to beau tifying the hall. The feature of the dance is being kept in darkness and will be sprung as a sur prise during the evening. . The program will consist of sixteen dances with mixed steps, two-steps, waltzes and probably one or two of the new dances. DEMI STRAUB MA! RUN FDR GOVERNOR Call of the University Only Will Keep Him from the Race. “Am I going to run for governor? Well, I am seriously considering it,” said John Straub yesterday. “There’s only one thing that keeps me back,” he continued. “That is the hold the boys and girls of the University, and I especially the freshman class, have <>n my heart. You see, I have been working [ at the University of Oregon for nearly thirty-eight years now, and I just can’t think of a time when the students will he coming here, and the University work will be going on, without my having a part in it. “There is one other thing,” he con tinued. “I will not be a candidate in the next election if Governor James Withy combe runs. My admiration and personal friendship for Mr. Withyeombe would prevent my opposing hint. “At any rate, it is a long tune before the election. The votes will not be cast until two years from next April, so I am in no hurry to decide definitely.” Others besides Dr. Straub feel that his place is really here. Letters have come to him from alumni, who. while promising their support in case he be comes a candidate, yet urge the claims of his position here. “I have had letters from republi cans, democrats, and socialists.” said Dr. Straub—“letters from individuals, and from organizations such as the Ore gon club at Hood River, promising to vote for me and to use their influence for me, if I would enter the race. “Of course,” Dr. Straub concluded, “I would like to be governor. It is a big honor, and it is a place where one can accomplish a great deal of good. But so far I have not been able to bring myself to a decision to leave my boys and girls.” Freshmen at the university of W iscon sin are not allowed to enter saloons un der penalty of suspension. Have Mustache Contest The senior class mustache contest, in which all senior men of the University of Chicago will be eligible to enter, began last Friday. About fifty men entered the race. The men will let the "fuz' grow on their upper lip for a certain length of time, and then some person or group of persons will be given the task of choosing which growth makes the most presentable appearance. Dr. Ayer Honored by School Review. •Dr. Fred C. Ayer, of the department of education, has been asked by. tin1 School Review, published in Chicago, to become a member of the board of ad visory editors. The School Review is considered one of the best educational journals in the United States. The board of editors has recently been reduced front 18 to 7 members, of which Profes sor Ayer will be one. The appointment takes effect January 1. 1916. SOGCERITES TO PLAY WINGED MIN PORTLAND Bad Weather Is Preventing Scrimmage and Outlook Is Gloomy. (By Captain Jimmy Sheehy) With the return Multnomah game to be played in Portland hut a fortnight away, the Soccer lineup is as much in the air as ever. The squad has never numbered over 18 or 20 for any one practice, which has put a damper on real scrimmage. Rainy weather, irreg ular practice sessions, lack of new ma terial, and interest in the game, has left the team in had straits. Tuerck Suffers from Injuries. Coach Dyment is working hard to as semble a good forward line to rush the Multnomah backs. Tuerck, who for the past two seasons starred at center for ward. is still suffering from injuries re ceived in football. He expects to be out soon, and will take his old position. Jay Fox is a fixture at outside right. He is fast, aggressive, and shoots accurately. Sheehy is filling in at inside right. As yet no men of real class have shone to grab the other two forward positions. The lemon-yellow has in Ralston, Kathhun, and Pearson three ideal half backs. All aire possessed of lots of pep. and are heady and aggiessive. Opposing forwards will have their hands full to pass around this trio. Frank Campbell and Bart Spellman will take care of the fullback positions. Bart however, is hobbling around with a badly bunged knee, a left over from the recent O. A. C. game. It is very doubt ful if he will don a Soccer suit Jhis year. Paul Smith, Hedges. W. Sheehy, and Leonard are promising candidates for the position. Kennon Looks Bad Walt Kennon, substitute goal keeper of last year’s squad, is stopping every thing that comes his way. This big 1 (im pound six-footer is improving rapidly, and is now able to quickly grasp the attack of the opposing forward line. This fault was all that kept him on the bench last year. Practice is being held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights on the girls hockey field, back of Kincaid field. With a couple of weeks of dry weather Coach Dyment should be able to whip u creditable eleven into shape. However, unless more fellows turn out it will be almost impossible to turn out a winning team. BENNETT IN CUM Former Professor Holds Big Political Position in Middle West. Doctor Ralph ('. Bennett, professor in the law school last year, lias been ap pointed assistant state’s attorney for Cook county, Illinois—the county in which Chicago is located. Doctor Ben nett has offices in the County Criminal Court building, Chicago, and is a mem ber of several prominent social and poli tical clubs.

He writes that he follows with pleas ure and interest the progress and con quests made by the football teams of the state over eastern elevens. Will Get Portland Sceneery Special arrangements have been made with the Baker Stock company of Port land for the scenery to be used in the setting of the play, the “fortune Hunt ers,” which will lx' given by the i'niver sit.v players on the night of January Nth at the Eugene theatre.

SUMMER. CO-OP STORE PLAN FAVORED BY MANY Y. M. C. A. Is Willing to Give Up Store and Help Boost Plan, Says Dawson. A majority of the student officials seems to favor the proposed student body co-operative store. Among the fac ulty members who also favor the plan are Dr. 1). W. Morton, dean of theq school of commerce, and l’rofessor E. E. Dot\>u, head of the department of math ematics. “I think a student co-operative store could be a success,” said Dr. Morton. "If the students don’t go in too heavily at the start on the book store, they can put in athletic goods, candy, note-book fillers and such things as will be in de mand by the students. For the start the store will need a manager who will give all his spare, time to the business. Later on it will need a manager who will give all his time to it. 1 think the students should go slow at first and not attempt too much. "Some adjustment should be made whereby the V. M. (’. A. might be recom pensed. should it give up its store, since it is from this source that it receives most of its funds. First, last and all the time, every student should boost the co operative store if it is to be a success.” Professor Det'ou, who is a charter member of the student co-operative store at the University of Wisconsin, said: “With good management I don’t see why a student co-operative store could not be ft success. It would mean quite a little saving to the students. Twenty years ago a co-operative store was organized at the University of Wis consin and it has been a great success.” Eva Brock, secretary of the student body said: "It is a splendid idea. It would’mean a great saving to the stu dent body in the matter of books, and we can carry it further in athletic goods. The student body needs the money.” Ernest Watkins, manager of the 101(1 Oregana, said: “I think the student co operative store plan a pretty good scheme, but the students are getting their books now as cheaply as possible. The dtudent body is too small for the store to be a success at the present time.” Floyd Westerfield, business manager of the Oregon Emerald said: "Personally I don’t think it a good move. From an economical viewpoint I do not think it would be any advantage for the student body as a whole to take it up. The stu dent body is not large enough.” (lenovieve Shaver, member of student council, said: “It is a fine opportunity for the students, especially since Mr. Douglass and President Campbell want to do as much as they can to help the students with it." Louise Bailey, member of the student council, said: “I am very much in favor of the idea. If the store carries every thing the students need, as books, pen cils, paper and such things it will be a great benefit to all.” Chester Miller, member of the student an id * “T inn hifrhlv in favor of the plan. I believe it should start on a small basis, the stock being gradually added to from time to time. I believe the store would be a success if all the stu dents would boost it.” Cloyd Dawson, member of student council and president of Y. M. ('. A., sa.d: “Of course. I favor the plan. A co operative store is bound to come sooner or later, and the students ought to take the opportunity now that they have it. However, I do not think it would be feasible to start the store before next fall. The student council should have time to thoroughly understand the busi ness and get things organized before starting it. “If the students favor the plan the Y. M. ('. A. will do all it can to help pro mote it. Necessarily some arrangement would have to be made between the stu dent book store and that of the Y. M. C\ A. in regard to selling cards, candy and other things which the Y. M. ('. A. now sells. The students of the TTniversty should understand that the store if tak en over by the students is to be purely a student body enterprise and not a share holders affair.” I Montana Students Plan Holiday Mixes. University of Montana. Missoula. De cember 0—Students of the University of Montana who will go home for the holi day jioriod plan to hold reunions in their respective cities for former students of that T'niversty. alumni, and members of | the high school graduating classes who ! expect to enter some institution of high er learning next fall. Plans are now be ing made for these holiday mixes by stu dents from Butte. Helena, (Sreut l ulls, Billings, Kalispell, Lewiston and Mis soula. . Sports Editor Is a Good Sportsman Henry Philip Burchell Forced to Abandon Date But Prom ises December 15. "That’s what I call being a good sportsman,” said Professor Eric \V. Al len, as he finished telling how llenr.v Philip Burchell, sporting editor of the New York Times, failing to fill an en gagement on December through an. un avoidable delay on the Shasta Limited, (arranged to return to Eugene from the middle west to give a lecture before the assembled classes in Journalism on De cember 15. When Mr. Burchell found that he could not be here he telegraphed Profes sor Allen explaining how, in order to fill his engagements in the middle west he was forced to go on, and that he would return and give his talk us soon as these engagements were filled. Professor Allen told him that this was unnecessary as the department would gladly release him from his contract under the circumstances. Mr. Burchell wired back, asking if he might speak here December 15. Professor Allen told him that the University of Nebraska was very anxious to have him on that day but that if he wished to return, the date ‘would be convenient. Mr. Burchell ac cepted. I Mr. Burchell is making a tour of the Pacific coast and middle western states giving a series of lectures on sports and the writing up of sports and sporting ! events. > 0REG0N0.1. C. TERMS WILL WRESILE SOON - I ch Will Probably Occur | Early in February Says Coach. The wrestling team of the University of Oregon and the team of the Oregon Agricultural College will meet on the limit in the gymnasium in the early part of February, according to Coach Kd. Shockley. This is not a regular match, as there have not as yet been any arrangements 'made in that direction. There have been no meets scheduled in Portland for the coming year because there has been no conference formed. “There has been plenty of interest shown, but the students do not seem to take to it in a very strong way. If they want to get wrestling into the University as a standard sport, let them get into it,” said Hill Hayward yesterday after noon. As yet no petition has been put up to the faculty for the sanction of the sport in the Athletic council. Secretary N. C. Grimes says, that in his opinion, there would be no opposition to establishing the sport in the institu tion. “Of course if the students sched uled a match with one of these so-called "toughs” there would lie strong opposi tion to the thing. Hut I see no reason as to not staging a bout with the Mulnomah club and establishments of equal rank. “Hring it up and 1 see no reason why it would not pass,” said Mr. Grimes. “ALICE IN WONDERLAND” IS FINANCIAL SUCCESS Cast Is Entertained During Interim Be tween Two Presentations Saturday. Is Also Served Dinner-Lunch. (Ky MARTHA HUGH) Artistically, as well as financially, "Alice in Wonderland” was , a success. The stage settings and lighting effects have been pronounced by all “things of beauty and joys forever." The costumes, too, have been variously commented upon as being "unique,” "harmonious," and “effective. The dramatization itself has been praised by many. All in all, “Alice” was strictly a University production. A feature of the production was the delightful dinner-lunch served to them on Saturday evening in the administration building by Professor Reddie and the Drama guild. The entire east remained at the "little theatre” between the two performances. Refore lunch the Vietrola was brought into use and after lunch Professor Red die entertained the group with a few clas sical dances which were appreciated by them.

The question of whether the student body tax of $N.OO was compulsory or not arose during the recent investigation of intercollegiate athletics. A committee of th" faculty was appointed, with Prof. De Con as chairman, and their investigation brought out the fact that the Board, of Regents, 12 years ago, made this tax compulsory but that the matter if left to the student body constitution would be in effect volunar.v. Tlte faculty committee has been consid ering the advisability of having the tax voluntary or compulsory with the pur pose of making a recommendation either one way or the other to the regents. But before making their recommendation, they (Continued on Page Pour.)
