m
That every woraap, rich or poor, should
Warn a profession well enoubh to prac
>ties it was the fusion reached in' the
•first session of the Women’s Vocational
conference, beginning yesterday after
jnoon. The point was made by Mrs. Bose
Osbum, speaking on "Women in Busi
ness,” and reinforced by other speakers
fin the open discussion which followed,
^whether it is right that women who do
not) seed to earn, should take employ
ment from those that do was decided, to
be secondary. “Whoever rich or poor
can do the work best must do it,’’ Mrs.
Osborn said.
Mrs. Jtttxm Hampton who had been
scheduled for the subject, "Women in
Business,” was prevented by an accident
from attending. IShe said that she knew
of no one else who could fill her plaee
on short notice, better than Mrs. Oabura.
Mrs. Irene H. Gerlinger who was to have
given the opening address of the session
,waa also prevented from attending. But
iMisa Both Guppy, who presided, assur
ed the 75 or 80 *omen present that ac
cidents had not befallen ail the speakers.
Should Not1 Lose Femininity.
Mrs. Osbum said in part: “Teaching
Is too often the line of least resistance
between graduation and matrimony. It
they are not suited by temperament to
teach, they should go into some other line
of buisness. In business a woman does
not need to lose her femininity. She
must learn independence and strength of
character', but she must make her true
womanliness felt and respected Sfte
must not push the hard work off on-men.
She must not play her femininity. If
there is hard work to be done, she must
do it as well or better than men, even at
a iower salary. Confidence and efficiency
are what women, as business workers
lack most now. !
“Start at the bottom and learn to
• serve, was Mrs. I Osbum’s particular
point “If you wspt to be a traveling
saleswoman,” sheisaidv'“begin as a clerk
in a depaitmenit store.” There was no
reason, she said, [why women should not
make as good traveling saleswomen as
men in some linesi of goods. “They have
the gift of talk,” she explained. To
marry was the proper thing for a woman,
the speaker insisted, but every married
i woman should be fortified by tjie ability,
to make her living if reverses overtook
'her. I
" Secretarial Work Bridges.
“Women as secretaries,” was the theme
0f Mrg. E. C. Bobbins. Mrs. Bobbins is
a graduate of Vassar, and served if year
as secretary in tile Y. M. C. A. training
school in New York City.
“Secretarial wwk offers positions 'to
women who must make their living per
manently,” Mrs. Bobbins said, “and to
women who want l to bridge over the gap
between graduation and matrimony, tl
brings women inti contact with congenial
and intellectual people. It is something,
besides, that a woman may fall back on
later, if necessary. For the woman whq
keeps at it and learns efficiency, wages
go up almost indefinitely. Preparation
to secure such a position demands almost
invariably a college education; and tech
nical training in shorthand, typewrit
ing and accounting is always of value.
Mrs. Bobbins pinned her talk down
to actual salaries j paid, and the real ac
complishments demanded of a secretary.
“You may be asked to do anything from
planning an entertainment new but not
startling to translating a French book,”
she faid. She outlined the various kinds
of secretaryships, apd pointed out what
college courses would prepare for such.
"To finally arrive, there is nothing like
English composition and literature.^ But
commercial courses are almost always
essential. As a secretary to a lawyer,
you would have to know Latin; to a
physician, perhaps French, Latin and
German; for social service, sociology and
jour&alism. Stenography and typewriting
are always tools iof the greatest value.”
The ability to keep secrets, personality,
accuracy, and self suppression were the
qualities which (Mrs. Bobbins thought
were of the greatest importance to any

FORTY IRE INVITED
TO JOIN POLIll CLUB
Invitations Issued to EHgibles
to Meet at Beta Theta
Pi House.
t '
Invitation to meet at the Beta Theta
Pi fraterity house on Thursday evening
in order to foTm a branch of the Inter
national Polity club, will be .sent to
about 40 men students and faculty mem
bers some time next week. The purpose
of these branch clubs is to discuss and
study all phases of the present day po
litical and international affairs, .accord
ing to. Lamar Tooze, who is heading the
initial steps in the formation of the or
ganization at the University.
The central club originated in England
several years ago, but no branches were
formed in the United States until 1913.
They are financially backed by Andrew
Carnegie. Mr. Tooze says that there
will be no expense to the members ex
cepting a few cents for postage.
Lecture Service Fine. *
“The finest lecturers in the world are
sent out without a cent of cost to the
clubs,” says Mr. Tooze. “Such men as
Norman Angel, editor of the Paris Ma^l,
can be obtained.
“Annually, delegates froc. the different
branches of the International club meet
j in some city. This year the convention
will take place in Madison. Wis: Every
| club is ^flowed one or tV?o representa
tives, whose expenses are paid'out of
the Carnegie funds. N; particular prop
aganda for or against war, suffrage or
other questions is taken up, but a
thorough study is made of both sides of
all propositions.
“The persons that are invited to attend
1 the preliminary meeting next Thursday
and are there will constitute the member
ship of the club. One week later an
other meeting will be held to adopt the
final constitution and effect the perma
nent organization. After this year I
think that the number of members
should be limited to 25 or under.”
Tiwse who will receive invitations to
meet at the Beta house on Thursday
evening at 7:30 are: Bothwell Avison,
John Black, Burle Bramhall, Newton

DEMIS KOI RUIGMir
FOR OR MSI PUR
Men Willing to Listen to Fur
ther Arguments; Won’t Con
sent to Lowering Standards.
i
The deans of the varions professional
schools of the University—so far es^they
have been interviewed—have not ex
pressed themselves as radically for or
against the proposal tox move the pro
fessional schools to Portland. The fac
ulty is‘-after more information and def
inite §tatements regarding the proposed
change.
The petition submitted to the board of
regents by the greater Portland associa
tion, a league of retail grocers, con
cerned the schools of law, jornalism, ar
chitecture, commerce, music, and peda
gogy. Following is a list of statements
from the deans:
U. W. Hope: “I would like to 'hear
some definite statements from Portland
in regard to land and buildings. 1 would
listen to no proposition, however, that
would in any way lower the standard of
the law school that we have built up here.
There' is no doubt that the facilities of
a city like Portland would broaden the
scope of the law department and would
offer more opportunities for closer con
nection with some of the* leading judges
and lawyers of Oregon.”
Ralph Lyman: “The school of music
has been built up here as a distinct cul
tural school, and has never been profes
sionalized. If such a thing should ever
come about that the school of music
should become professional, then—as' a
school—it would flourish better in a city
like Portland than here. But as long
as it remains a cultural school it is bet
ter situated in Eugene.”
E. F; Lawrence: “It would be im
possible to move the school of architec
ture to Portland as long as the under
graduate school remained here, upder the
present organization of the school. It
would, however" be ideal to have the
school in Portland under certain condi
tions, say, when the architectural school
Becomes a graduate school.
Eric W. Allen: “This is a matter for
the regents and the legislature, rather
than the faculty. There are, of course,
certain advantages in 'being in or near a
large city, but the state has an invest
ment of nearly a million dollars here and
up to this time I have not heard any
Portland talk that sounded like a million
dollars. My ears are good enough so
that I could listen to a proposal that
seemed to me to mean a bigger, better
more unified Univeristy, Wherever it
might be located. But up to this time no
Portland proposals have been made <jn a
basis sufficiently broad to be interesting,
to me. I don’t know what the future has
in store. I hope for the time when Ore
gon will have a univesrity as big and
sound as have Wisconsin or Illinois, but
it will have to be resultant of bigger ideas
than were epressed in the proposal
made public in Portland last week.’’
D. W. Morton: “It is undoubtedly true
as far as any school of commerce is con
cerned that a metropolitan connection
offers laboratory facilities which are not
found,m the ordinary inland town. But
the co-operative store will undoubtedly
afford laboratory practice . for the stu
dents of the University school of com
merce which will be far better than any
similar opportunities now available for
commerce students in any other inland
town in the country. I can’t believe that
this movement was started by the re
tailers, for they have done very much to
back the school of commerce, especially
in the last two months, and have ex
pressed themselves as being heartily in
favor of the installation of our retail
courses.”
H. C. Howe: “I am thoroughly oppos
ed to moving a part of the University to
Portland. It would "be absurd. If
Portland wants the. University there, let
Portland put up the necessary money and
replace the buildings that we have here
—so that the state will lose no money.
Then, if the interested parties would
take the matter before the legislature,
there is no doubt that the change would
be permitted. The University itself,
however, should not he divided, for that
would mean the gradual destQKtion of
both sections.”
E. E. DeCou: "It would cripple the
work of the University to separate the
professional schools from the college of
arts and sciences. As far as the aiffer
enee in' the size of the two towns is con

After lengthy consideration by the fac
ulty ,at a special meeting yesterday af
ternoon, the nine students who were
fchiefiy involved in the publication of the
“Spring Scarlet Sheet”, received their
sentence. Probation will be continued in
definitely with the qdded requirement
that ,a publjc apology be printed in the
“Oregon Emerald.”
This scandal sheet is published each
year and contains accounts of fictitious
j events of sensational interest involving
faculty members and students. This
year the discipline committee held that
the publication violated the proprieties.
The faculty divided up against the pro
posal' to take each case separately and
administer individual punishment and the
motion lost by one vote.
After lengthy consideration, the fol
lowing punishment to the group as a
whole was decided upon. Each student
connected with the issue is to make a
satisfactory apology to each person men
tioned in his writings, to tell the commit
tee all facts in his possession concerning
the publication of the sheet, to sign a
public apology to the University, to gath
er and destroy all available copies, and
to relmaai on probation as long as he
should be connected with the University.
The senterice is uniform, regardless
of degree of guilt. The connection of the
men Varied considerable, especially in the
instance of Edward Harwood, who only
solicited advertisements. N
The students whose cases were dis
posed! of at today’s meeting are: -Chester
Tee, Pendleton; Wallace Eakin, of A6
toria; Howard McCullouch, of Portland;
Dewitt Gilbert, ef Astoria; Henry Howe,
of Eugene; Edward Harwood, of Cordo
va, Alaska; Bothwell Avison, of Oregon
City; Max Sommers, of Portland; Sam

PREMIER COACH STICKS
WITH TRACK PROTEGES
“I have not been made any offer of a
position as athletic trainer at O. A. C.
by any one in authority there.” declared
“Bill” Hayward, head of the men’s phy-*
sical training department at the Univer
sity today. “There'has been a rumor the
past three days current on the campus
to the effect that I have refused such
an offer but that I^m considering others
of thb same nature. I am unable to ac
count1 for the report, but it is not true.”
At a mass meeting held Wednesday
night1 in Villard hall by the students the
question was first brought before' the
University in the form of speeches and
banners.
Hayward says there is no cause for
alarm as he receives offers of new posi
tions every year. “Of course, this does
n’t guarantee that I might not accept
one some day but just at present I am
not considering any of those I have re
ceived this year.” *
Hayward has been at the University
the past thirteen years, and has estab
lished! a record aa one of the best track
coachea in the country.
Senior men at the University of Texas

and forth with the breaks favoring the visitors. Wilson and Hurn
pitched for the Frosh and Shake arid Kraft for the visitors; Wil
loughby, star moundman for O. A. C. being protested. The umpir
ing was off color. ’ i
In a loosely played game with the via.

the O. A. G. Tooks defeated the Oregon
freshmen 7 to 2 this morning in the
first game of the day's rouble header.
The Aggie yearlings gathered 0 hits off
Ralph Hum, while Slake held the frosh
to five binpl-'",
The Gorrallisites were able to buqph
their hits when they meant runs and
were quick to take advantage of the five
errors mado by the local green-cappers.
After two were down, in the opening in
ning, Heiss singled and went to second
on an error. Preston b?t a high fly to
Kiggins, who fell in an attempt to field

Virgil Alexander was the big si it of
the morning engagement. Besides gath

plate, he pulled a circus catch of a low
liner, and af‘cr tui-naig a sc-n-rsauit

KANSAS CO.EDS WORK.
The task of self-support^ among the
women students of the University of
Kansas includes everything from cook
ing for harvest hands to washing little
white dogs while in school. About the
most common method in practice is doing
housework for faculty ladies. One wo
man who is especially anxious to get
along without financial aid, works for a
professor’s family while she is in school
and spends here vocations helping the
