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 Eugene audience expects even big
ger things in the singing line than the
burgs over the state, and this year they
will not be disappointed, because well,

’19 TEAM AND OFFICIALS
BANQUETED BY DR.STRAUB
Malarkey Presented With Silver Cup for
Work as Coa h of Football
Team.
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. President Campbell and Dean
Straub spoke briefly, following a few
words of thanks from Coach Malarkey..
The members present were Captain
Hoisington, George Cook, Itoy Brown,
Paul Downard, Forrest Peil, Dwight
Wilson. Neil Morfitt. Pete Jensen. Chas.
McDonald, Ward McKinney and Roger
Holcomb. The other members of the
team—Reuben Mast. Harry Miller and
Harvey Madden, were not present.
The freshman team has played five
games this season and has not been scor
ed upon. It won four games and was tied
in the fifth. It amassed 52 points against
ns opponents.
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

visory editors. The School Review is

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

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

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.”

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

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
