Saturday, December 9, there will be a luncheon in the grill room" of the Os burn hotel at 1- o'clock, to which alP col lege business men are invited and which is for the purpose0 of forming a I niver sity dub. “This initial step will but stwt* fke° ball rolling, and the organiza tion wall assume a more permanent na ture as the winter's plans progress. E. O. Immel, attorney, and chairman of the committee on arrangements, said in speaking of the plan, "As many col lege men as there are in Eugene, we have never worked together; we should be organized, and that is what we will do at the luneehon. It will be absolutely informal, with informal talks, the prin cipal one of which will be President Campbell’s report of tlfe educational con vention which he recently attended in Washington, IX C. We have no defin ite or extensive plans yet. What we want now is organization—plans will de velop later in the winter.” D. W. Morton, dean of the school of commerce, and I. P. Hewitt, a University of Nebraska graduate and a practicing attorney, are the other members of the committee which is responsible for this movement. Entire Senior Class Indicted on Charge of Gambling With Their Own Names A gambling game in which the entire senior class of 116 students is implicated, was fereted out by the Emerald yesterday, when a reporter forced admission into the senior lottery dance drawing in McClure hall.

Dyment, Eulalie Cros by, Helen Curry and Jack Elliott, properly authorized representa tives of the entire senior class, were discovered in a wild state of excitement, with the glazed eyes of the gambler, drawing lots to decide their principal’s pardners at the dance Friday night. The verdict rendered by the Supreme Court of College Tra dition wras that as a penalty for getting caught, each senior must attend the public execution at the Sigma Nu house Friday night and there receive his just deserts.

Brown Ida Barr Tryout Adds 4 Debaters to Team In the final debate try-out, which took place last night in Guild hall, four new members were added to the Varsity de bating team. The successful contestants were Lewis Beebe, Vivian Kellems, Don D. Davis, and Waiter Bailey. The two substitutes are C. X. Patterson and Carlton Savage. Because of the large number entering, the last year's debaters were excused from the final try-out. Those passing on their previous work in debate are: Wal ter Myers, Rosalind Bates, Nicholas Jaureguy and Earl Flesclimann. These four represented the University in vari out debates last year. The eight debaters entering the try-out last night had previously passed an elimi nation try-out where they were chosen frojn “eighteen contestants. The same ’question was used in both elimination and final try-outs. The question is: Resolv ed, That the United Stages should adopt the essential features of the Canadian system for the settlement of Industrial disputes. None of the men entering knew on which side they would speak until three hours before the debate, when they met in Prof. Prescott’s room and drew for sides. The time in the final last night was eight minutes for constructive speech, three for rebuttal. Of the four new men making the team, Mr. Beebe alone hus had experience as a Varsity debater. He was on the Morn ingaide college team in Iowa during his freshman and sophomore years. I Miss Vivian Kellems, well known in t dramatics, is the second woman to make [ the Oregon team. Rosalind Bates made the team last year and will be on again this year. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Bailey had experience as high school debaters. Coach Prescott expressed himself well | pleased with the new material. “The prospects certainly indicate a good year in debate," he said. The judges for the final were Miss Ida Turney.

FISTIC AND MAT BOUTS MANY MYSTERIOUS STUNTS # « # # FRESHMEN WILL REVEL An unequaled round of mi-th provok ing stunts! A period of unrivaled joy! A marvelous unending session of “talk!" The first year men promise the reali zation of all these things at the freshmen smoker at the Kappa Sigma house next Friday night. The evening’s entertainment will he crammed full of wild and various things. A sensational criminal trial will be stag ed for the special benefit of the frosh present. A genuine wild west bar will be wide open. One of the many Mexican republics has i.uthorized a special issue of money for the occasion. A vaudiville skit is on tap. A correct imitation of an old fashioned Irish hoe-down is scheduled for the evening. Fistic and mat. bouts are to be staged together with several stunts now shrouded in dark mystery. “This n’int all either,” said one of the Knppa Sig neophytes, “but they gotta come to find out the rest. We got enough to eat and drink to make ’em all go away with a stomach ache." INTEREST IN DRAMA KEEN Rivalry of Campus Organizations In creases Activity In Dramatic Circles. With two rival dramatic organizations on the campus, the University will be offered more than the usual number of plays this year. Formerly there was only one players’ club—the University Players—which has been established for a. number of years, and. until now, has produced all the college theatricals. Hut during the last session of the summer school, a second organisation, the Cam pus Players, was formed by the depart ment of dramatic interpretation. The first play to be given by the newly-organized players’ club will be an adaptation of the three-act French farce, the "Live Corpse." It will be produced at the Eugene theatre on January 13. The leading roles will he in the hands of Mrs. Hates and Ernest Watkins, both of whom have been seen in many of the Guild hall produc tions. Walter Gilbert, of the Baker Stock of Portland, who has been en gaged to coach the comedy, will take charge of rehearsals shortly after the holidays. MEDICAL CENTER GROWING Multnomah County Hospital May Adjoin University Medical School In Portland. The O. W. R. & N. Go., has granted n tract of land above Tcrwilliger park on Marquam hill to the University of Ore gon medical school to be the Portland hospital center. In keeping with this policy, Dr. Kenneth A. J. Mackenzie, dean of the University medical depart ment, has offered as a gift to the coun ty a site for a county hospital on the tract reserved for the center. It is probable that the offer will be accepted if the county gets all the funds available for the construction of the first unit of the hospital this year. There wall be an attempt made to ob tain $150,000 out of the combined coun ty and road levies. The need for this hospital is very great, the present coun ty hospital being sadly in need of re pair and lacking facilities. In making this gift Dr. Mnckenaie stated that the proffered land was in no way dependent on the fortunes of the medical college.

With this is mind, a movemest was begun recently to provide gold football watch fobs1 for the men who made their letters in the past season. Last night the council authorized a vaudeville performance under the man agement of the four classes to provide the funds necessary for the footballs. It is understood that a local theatro can he secured for a small amount nsd the acts will be provided by the classes. This practice of awardisg gold fobs to the winners of conference championships is almost universally followed through out the United States. The old problem of canoe regulations again presented itself nnd a committee of Karl Becke, Martini Beer and Ray Couch was appointed to consider the question and decide upon suitable penalties for violations of the rules. The council discussed the advisability of awarding some form of official recog nition to members of the freshmen teams for participation in scheduled games. No action was taken on the modifica tion of underclass activities as the fresh men bonfire, clues mix and so forth, which was to have been presented by a member of the faculty. The council ex pressed it as their opinion that the action should originate with the faculty rather than with the council. In resposse to what Harold Tregilgas, chairman of the student dance commit tee, sayH has been an insistent demand on the part of the student body for more dances, a student body dance was set for December 15, the evening preceding the. College Vaudeville night. Admission to the student dance, which will he held in Hayward hall, will be 15 cents per couple. Music will be furnish ed by the hand and, said Tregilgas, ‘It will be a regular dance, programs and (Continued on page four) Red Cross Seals Will Be Sold by Girls to Aid Nation-Wide Tuberculosis Fight The wale of Ited Cross Christmas seals to raise funds to further the nation wide fight against tuberculosis is being luunehed this week in Kugene, down town and on the University campus by Mrs. W.
