OLD GLEE CLUB MED
Commencement This/Year Will
Celebrate 40th Anniversary
of State University.
A gathering of the members of the
flee dubs of the University in years past
on Alumni day of Commencement, prob
ably at the dinner held on that day, for
the singing of old Oregon songs as they
lang them in their undergraduate days
is one of the ideas that has been suggest
d for that day’s program.
Commencement this year will celebrate
the fortieth anniversary of the founding
of the University and it is also planned
o hold as many ten-year reunions as pos
sible. Thu class of ’06 is laying definite
plans for big reunion, Miss Norma Hen
dricks of Eugene being a member of the
committee in charge. It is also hoped
that the other classes at every ten-year
jnark will make special arrangements for
yeunions.
The gathering together of the old glee
club members and the singing of songs
probably forgotten now but which were
known by all Oregon students at one
time, is believed would be an interesting
gnd enterti
aining feature.
Among other ideas that have been sug
pested for
this day are several parades,
pne is a plug ugly parade in which the
graduates and alumni will appear in cos
tume, some as clowns, and other char
acters of whatever nature they wish.
One class might have a band, another a
jninistrel show or other feature, as a
heelbarrow parade with the class babies.
One class of more recent years might
have but one baby present and this might
be featured in the parade.
Another idea is to have a parade sim
ply by classes, the line of March to be
on the campus.
A roll call at the dinner table has been
suggested with each graduate saying per
haps but ten words in a review of the
years since he left college. This would
give in a complete manner a review of
$he years ever since the founding of the
University.
Other events that have been scheduled
lor Alumni day following the business
meetings, which will be held in the morn
ing, aTe a faculty baseball game with
0. A. C., President Campbell’s reception
nd the Alumni 'ball that night. Satur
day, June 3 will be Alumni day.

INTEREST INCREASES
IN REORGANIZATION
Little Opposition Develops to
Plan Suggested at Last
Monthly Meeting in Portland.
Alumni throughout the state are show
ing increasing interest in plans for re
organization of the association.
Many plans are 'being discussed and it
cannot be said at this time, that senti
ment is decidedly in favor of any one com
plete plan. Very little opposition has
developed to the essential features of the
plan proposed at the last monthly con
ference of the Portland Alumni, by Carl
ton .Spencer, on behalf of the re-organiza
tion committee.
The essential features of the plan pro
posed at that time are the election of an
Alumni council of eleven members to
whom large executive and legislative
authority would be granted; provision
for referendum of important acts of the
Alumni council, when asked for either
by the council or by the Alumni associa
tion; reservation to the Alumni associa
tion of the executive right to amend the
constitution; semi-annual meetings of
the Alumni council; close affiliation of
local associations with the general asso
ciation through corresponding secretaries
and annual reports.
At the monthly meeting of the Port
land alumni, to be held at the Hazelwood
at 12:15, on Saturday, May 6, this plan
will be again presented and the commit
tee may be authorized to prepare it for
submission to the annual Alumni meeting
on Alumni day.
Walter C. Winslow, president of the
Alumni association is considering the ad
visability of appointing a committee of
the general association to go into the
question of re-organization.
Wendell Barbour, president of the
Lane county alumni, has proposed in con
nection with the discussion of reorgan
ization, that the alumni be organized into
bureaus.
Mr. Barbour has worked out a plan
based partly upon the idea of the Har
vard territorial clubs, and partly from
the analogy of the United States cham
ber of commerce.
“I would send every alumnus,” says
Mr. Barbour, “a postal card, and give
him first or second choice of the bureau
he prefers, with power reserved in the
executive committee to keep the strength
of the several bureaus practically the
same.
“The following bureaus would seem to
be necessary:
“1. Executive and financial. 2. Ed
ucational. 3. Athletic. 4. Publicity
and promotion. 5. Social.
“The chairman of the bureaus would
form the executive council. The ad
vantage of having each major interest
represented on the executive committee
seems evident to me. Suggestions could
be written to the bureau chiefs by per
sons interested, be presented to the exe
cutive council.
“I think that no action by a bureau
should be final until approved by the exe
cutive council. The executive' council
should elect the president, vice-president,
secretary and treasurer. This council
should meet twice a year, or at the call
of the president with three weeks notice.
Three votes should be nece: sary to carry
any particular proposition.”
Mr. Barbour is not opposing the plan
outlined by the committee of Portland
Alumni, but says that his proposition
has certain merits which should be pro
vided for even if the other plan is
adopted.
CLASSES FOR FACULTY.
The University of Ohio has recently
made an innovation in the way of a fac
ulty gym class which, according to re
ports of the Ohio State Lantern, has
proved to be a great success.
A fire doing a damage of $200,000 de
stroyed the engineering building of the
Michigan Agricultural college on Sunday.
Practically all of the mechanical, elec
trical and physical laboratory equipment
of the college was destroyed by the fire.
FINDS IRWIN GR0DIN.
Irwin Grodin will be remembered by
many men who lived in the' dormitory in
1908.
Grodin had dropped out of sight until
the secretary received a card from Pro
fessor Jesse H. Bond of the University of
Idaho. Bond says, writing under date
of March 5:
“Copiing home from Spokane on the
train yesterday I met Grodin. He has
an office over the Old National bank in
Spokane and seems to be doing well in
the insurance and real estate business,
lie has done some work at the University
of Chicago and has been in Europe since
leaving the University of Oregon.”
H. J. WATTS IS A CANDIDATE
Enters Race for Prosecuting Attorney
of Umatilla County.
Weston—(Special to Alumnus section)
—Homer I. Watts of Athena is making
the race for prosecuting attorney of
Umatilla county. This position is now
held by Frederick Steiwer. Mr. Steiwer i
will not be candidate for re-election, but i
will try for a place in the legislature. Mr.!
Watts is engaged in the practice of law j
at Athena with business interests |
throughout Umatilla county. His broth- I
er, Marvel Watts, is manager of the |
flouring mill at Athena and has for sev- j
eral years been a member of the Athena
school board. Another member of the
school board is Mr. Bert B. Richards.
The effect of having two college gradu
ates on a school board in a small town is J
quite evident when one sees the new $40,
000 building for the Athena schools.
This building, thoroughly equipped for
high school purposes, with gymnasium,
auditorium, library and laboratories, sets
a standard for high school buildings in
that part of Umatilla county. The super
intendent of the Athena schools is also
an Oregon graduate, Mr. C. A. Guerne.
Mr. Guerne will leave Athena immediately
upon the closing of school five weeks
hence, for Chicago where he will be in
attendance, as a spectator at the repub
lican national convention. Guerne will
take graduate work in Chicago university
for the next year or two. Mr. Guerne’s
position at Athena will probably be filled
by another Oregon graduate, Mr. J. O.
Russell, superintendent at Wasco, Ore
gon.
Miss Lucile Cogswell, ’15, of Portland,
is teaching German and history in Wes
ton high school.
Miss Edyth A. Still and her brother
are living at Milton where Miss Still is
teacher of the second grade.
HONOR SYSTEM INSTALLED.
At Miama university, Oxford, Ohio,
the following has been adopted, and must
be written out and signed by each stu
dent, on his quiz or examination paper at
the tme he hands it to the instructor: “I
have neither given nor received any help
of any kind during this examination, nor
have I seen anyone else give or receive
aid in this examination.”
LIVING ON 35 CENTS.
A nineteen yeaT old student is pytting
himself through the Georgia school of
Technology on 35 cents a day. He has
built himself, a small shack on some
ground near the university and cooks his
own meals.
