EGON OFFICIAL ORGAN EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1916. NO. 71. VARSITY NIKE WILL BARNSTORM NORTH III TOUR TO MEET WASHINGTON TEAM Fourteen Men, Including Coach and Student Manager, Pack Their Grips to Board Rattle r Monday Morning for Annual Spring Invasion of Enemies’ Territory. Northern Games Are of Paramount Importance. (JIMMY SHEEHY) Fourteen men, including Coach Hugo Bezdek and Student Manager Jack El liott will pack their grips Monday m ing and board the rattler for Salem, where the varsity will meet Willamette university in the first game of the j an nual spring barnstorming tour. Car tain Cornell, Huntington, Tureck, Nelson, 'Rathbun, Medley, Maison, Risley, Grebe, McLean, and Sheehy compose the varsity aggregation that will invade the north. Either Wilhelm or Knighton will be par ried as the extra man. Knighton has the call as he can play the outfield besides being able to serve them up to the bat ters in practice. Oregon will journey to Centralia Tuesday, wher j they play the Cent ralia high school, and on Wednesday a stop over will be made at Bellingham, Wish., to take on the Bellingham normal school. The squad is booked to arrive in|| Se attle Wednesday night and will make their headquarters at the Washington Annex. Thursday the team will urilim ber on Denny field and will no doubt take in the Seattle-Colored Giant’s game in the afternoon. Friday and Saturday ):hey will oppose the University! of Washington in the opening games of the 191G conference season. Although the Washington games are of paramount importance, both Coach Bezdek’s and the team’s worries are focused in getting out of the rut that they have fallen into the past week. The lemon-yellow lacked the fight and Hash against the licorice stained vanguard that has characterized their former games. Perhaps it was due to nervous ness or plain stage fright, but taker all in all the varsity put up a woozy exhi bition in last Tuesday’s matinee, justice to some of the members of team it must be said that they playing their first real game against a real nine. However, the varsity has some solace in the fact that the negroes trim, med the Oregon Aggies 11 to 2 yester day in Corvallis. Preliminary to Wednesday’ fiasco Eugene high school, Bezdek shufflec whole outfit about in an attempt to break the jinx that is hovering over the squad. Medley was brought in from left field to fill McLean’s shoes. Joe been temporarily benched. Sheehyj outfielder by trade, is filling in at se base in lieu of Walt Grebe’s change to left field. Jake Risley is now workin; in the middle garden. Either Dick Nelson or Bill Tureck will play first base or right field when not pitching. “You might as well become accustomed to playing any position,” said Bez, in last night’s talk to the boys. “A good ball player can perform reasonably well any place. We only have 1G men from which to pick a squad to make i. ball club. I’ve got to make use of all my ma terial, so don’t be surprised if you ] are switched all over the field.” with the has an eond K. U. MAY NOT FEED GRADS State Auditor Gives Order That Alumni Are Not to Be Banqueted. Technicality may prevent the Uni versity of Kansas from entertaining the alumni and other guests at the an nual commencement dinner. Accord ing to "The Graduate Magazine,’;! the University has received from the state auditor what amounts to an order! that it shall not entertain alumni at a com mencement dinner, notwithstanding: the fact that the money for this entertain ment is paid into the state treasury by the graduating classes for the specific purpose of meeting such expenses, auditor disallowed the bill last and the attorney-general has give: support to the Tuling. Last year guests sat down to the University ner at Lawrence. Chancellor 1 Strong, formerly president of the The year 1 his 1100 din ’rank Uni versity of Oregon, is said to be anxious to do anything in his power to carry on such substitute plan as the Kansas alumni may adopt. \ help Students Allright Is Dean’s Opinion Journalism Classes Get Out Guard Nicely and Fail to Be Scooped. That the journalism students are handling the Daily Guard very nicely is the opinion of Dean E. W. Allen. “They haven’t been scooped yet and could easily run two pages of news more than the usual sine of the Guard permits,” says the dean. Staff positions are competitive and changeable. They have been temporarily filled by the following students: Tele graph editor, Grace Edgington; manag ing editor, Wallace Eakin; assistant managing editor, Merlin Batley; proof reading, Carmen Swanson; copy desk, Clytie Hall and Bernice Lucas. Prof. C. V. Dyment, of the journalism department, says that the work on the Guard has brought out the newspaper instinct in some students and shown that it does not exist in others. He thinks the copy has been good, but regrets that no unusual situations have arisen to be dealt with by the students. He suggests that it is natural to think that 70 student reporters should be able to do the work of the two regular reporters on ; iper. 0RGHESTRAPUIYS1IPR.1I New York Organization With Noted Pianist Big Musical Treat of ^ the Season. The New York Symphony orchestra” under the direction of the distinguished conductor, Dr. Damrosch and Josef Hof mann as piano soloist, will be in Eu gene, April 11, to give a concert. This is1 one of the greatest musical treats the city has ever had the This organization is a tra r . _ nental tour during whicli 100 concerts will be given in all of the large cities and educational centers of the United States. Such a trip is made possible by nn endowment of one hundred thousand dollars a year which is given by a New York man. For thirty-two years Dr. Damrosch has been the conductor of this orchestra so that at present it is gener ally known as the Damrosch orchestra. At the present time Dr. Damrosch is the only composer conductor before the American public. On most of his pro grams a specialty of his compositions is made. Eugene will have a chance to hear excerpts from “Iphigienia in Aulis" by Mr. Damrosch. This composer does not belong to the new school of music but patterns after the older writers who made more over melody and rythm. All of his compositions show a characteristic of conservatism. Josef Hofmann is a very noted Polish i pianist, who has made friends in coun I tries all over the world by his playing. ! He made his debut in musical circles when six years old and appeared on an American tour in 18S7 when only ten ! years of age. It was during this tour that Dr. Damrosch became acquainted with this noted artist and ever since that time they have been the closest of friends. The seat sale will open Thursday, April 6. at Sherwin-Moore Drug store. I Prices $2, §1.50, §1.

STUDY HABITS SUBJECT OF EDUCATIONAL SURVEY Thousand Questionaires Sent to Superin tendents Inquiring as to Home Work and School Conditions. 'l'he University department of educa tion is making a survey of the study habits of high school students. Six standard high schools have been chosen for this examination. One thousand blanks have been distributed, which con tain such questions as “How many hours have you studied at home this week?” “How many hours have you studied at school?” One of the unfilled positions at the employment bureau of the University of Nebraska is that of a first-class de tective. ram. an ASKED IK PETITIONS Copies WiU Go and Students Sport Reinstated. ..Petitions are being circulated over the campus to be signed by all students de_ siring the reinstatement of intercollegi ate basketball. Copies of these were left at every club and fraternity immediately after the student council meeting yes terday aftemo«r The petition reads: “To the faculty of the University of Oregon: “We, the undersigned students, want intercollegiate basketball reinstated at the University of Oregon.” Harry Kuck, representative of the council committee for the reinstatement of basketball made the following report: “The committee has carefully invest!, gated the status of basketball. We have talked with Prof. E. E!. De Cou, chair man of the intramural sports committee, and with the members of the faculty atheltic committee, Profs. H. C. Howe, and Colin V. Dyment, and with Coach Hugo Bezdek. “Prof. Howe said that he is a friend of basketball and always will be. Mr. Bezdek is also in favor of reinstating it. However, Prof. Howe advised that the students take no action until fall. “The committee lias, nevertheless, de_ cided to go ahead with the matter, since the fall will be full of football and more time can be given to it now. “These petitions will be circulated among the students an«^ the alumni. We hope to show the faculty that the stu dents, alumni, and others concerned are anxious to have basketball put back on the inter-eollegiate calendar. The pe titions sent to the alumni will be ac companied by a form letter giving our reasons and explaining: the situation at the University.” Following the report of this committee, Chester Miller submitted a statement re. garding the co-operative store. The store will probably not be started until fall. Robert McAusland, instructor in the department of commerce, has been suggested as general manager. Mr. Mc Ausland has been invited to present his (Continued on ^>age four.) Students “Load to Muzzle” in Preparation for Vacation Advertising Campaign Will Be Conducted Among High Schools of State in Order to Increase Enrollment at University Com ing Fall. Dates Are Set Aside by Principals for Assembly Talks by Representatives. f This afternoon at 5 o’clock, there was a general meeting of students returning home for spring vacation who will “talk University” in their home town high schools. Loaded to the muzzle with all the information that any one can possi bly demand as to the University of Ore gon, they will go out prepared to bring in the “game.” Roberta Killam, corresponding secre tary of the Greater Oregon committee, has received replies from many of the principals of state high schools setting aside dates when an assembly will be granted. Any one expecting to go home who is willing to “talk” can find out from Miss Killam, phone 1131-L, what date has been set aside in their own town. It has been suggested that after vaca tion a big “experience” meeting be held, and all the “talkers” summarize their ad ventures and the possible results. Lamar Tooze who is to travel up one side of the Willamette to Portland, and down the other side, stopping twice a day at high schools, is expected to have something unusually interesting to relate. The “Taming of the Shrew” which will be put on at the Heilig in Portland, Saturday night, April 15, will be another feature in the “Advertising Oregon” campaign. Between the third and fourth acts, Ore gon students in the audience will sing Oregon songs. As a “capper” to the work of the high school speakers and an illustrated University booklet that is to be put out the latter put of April, the Greater Ore* gon committee is to isque a 28-page bul letin on “Student Life at the University.” Thirty-five hundred copies will be sent to high school seniors around the state. Pictures of Student Body officers, and heads of student body activities will be contained. All the members of the com mittee will be asked to help in some way on the bulletin. It is thought that in this way material more generally interesting to high school students may be secured than if the booklet were put out strictly by the journalism or any other depart ment. Professor Colin V. Dyment will edit the bulletin, and Roberta Killam will act as assistant editor. All of the faculty have shown an interest and willingness to co-operate. The plan of the publica tion follows: Section 1. Traditions: Freshmen caps, the senior bench, cleaning and staying off of the Oregon Seal, mill race and bath tub penalties, class memorials, somreros and corduroys, no smoking on the cam pus, etc. Section 2. Yells add songs. Section 3. Fraternities and clubs. Section 4. Athletics: Letter awards and the Order of the O. Section 5. Glee clubk and their trips. Section 6. Oratory and debate. Section 7. Social life and faculty leg islation on it. The bulletin will try to cover every thing in the way of information that the high school booklet wbcih precedes it does not. SIXTY-TWO ANSWER PRESENT" LASTNIGHT AT MILITARY T Competition for Officers Is Concluded and Twenty Men Are Placed According to Merit in the Two Companies. Enthu siasm Features Meeting and Appears to Warrant Its Out lining the Novelty of the Af fair. i.l: .-Jt' Co-Ea Overrules Managing Editor Senior Has “Aesthetic Taa and Refuses to Breal Guard Column Rules. ‘‘No column rule on the first piige shall !be broken for a head or banner of any kind looking the least bit ‘yel low!’ ” This definite edict was laid down by Miss Grace Edington, senior co-ed from Hood River, and now tele grapher editor of the Eugene Guard, the daily paper being put out by the students of the department of journal ism. Even Dean Allen has been over ruled and other professors of the de partment, not to speak of the manag ing editor himself. Miss Edgington is strictly a conservative. As for her reasons for keeping the beads within a single column this fair co-ed says, “To break the column rules violates my aesthetic taste. And to see big headlines always denotes ex citement, and I believe in a calm, cool poise.” So the dean, the professors nnd the managing editor hiyve fallen in line find the makeup of the paper is ns the tele graph editor orders. While not strictly adherents to the suffrage movement, they have a deep rooted respect for the judgment of this co-ed. Speaking of her work as a tele graph editor Dean Allen says: “She is making good and has shown herself a capable person around a newspaper of fice.” FEWSTIIDEIIT5 LEFTOVER Most of Those Remaining Say “Work” Will Be the Watchword Henceforth.

Williams and Major W. L. Copper noil, 0. N. G., placed twenty men, ac cording to merit, in the lieutenant, sar geant and corporal positions in the two companies. The men were formed into a company and instruction in compaay movements given. Enthusiasm again featured the gather ing. Enough enthusiasm has appeared to warrant its outliving the novelty of the affair, say national guard officers. Those officers present last night were: Major W. L. Ooppernoll, Captain W. G. Wil liams, First Lieutenant H. G. Keeney. Lane County Treasurer S .W. Taylor, veteran of the Civil war, also appeared on the floor. K. K. Kingsbury, Franklin Folia and r.yman Pickett were named respectively as the most capable "order givers” among the officer aspirants. To them were as signed two lieutenant’s and a sergeant’s position. Captains Foster and Harwood have pointed out that merit will continue to win places in the officer’s ranks and that therefore present appointments are as temporary as their holders will make them. An officer’s school is to be main tained. Men for the separate companies will 'be most probably chosen in alphabetical order. Eighty-five is the total enlistment; twenty-three failed to answer to roll call last night. EXHIBITION NEEDS $100 Paintings of American Artists May Bo Seen Hore if Amount Is Raised. As the Emerald goes to press it is impossible to tell whether or not the col lection of oil paintings enroute to Los Angeles can be brought to Eugene. The town and University people are working to raise the amount required. Mr. Allen Eaton, who has agreed to take the res ponsibility for tho pictures while here, says that if $100 is promised by Saturday night, he will have the exhibit stopped here on its way to Los Angeles. The exhibition consists of one paint ing each of 27 leading American artists. The pictures are valued at more than $25,000. There is a great and interesting variety of subjects. Eugene has never had such an opportunity before and it would seem that there are many readers of the Emerald who would help. Those who wish to help should not send money but should write or telephone the amounts they will give. Phone 852 architectural buldng in the day or 162L Mr. Eaton in the evening.
