f VOL. 18. EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1916. NO. 35. DYMENT Will TEACH > AT U. OF WASHINGTON Journalism Professor Accepts Offer of Northern School. ALLEN LEAVES ON THE TRAIL OF A SUCCESSOR New Position Will Place Dy ment in Rank of Head of Department. Professor Colin V. Dyment of the school of journalism has accepted a po sition as head of the journalism depart ment of the University of Washington and will probably assume his new du ties there at the beginning of the sec ond sem-ster. i rof. Dyment was expect ed to return late today from Seattle where he had been conferring with President Suzallo of the U. of W. The announcement of Prof. Dyment’s acceptance was less of a surprise than would appear on the face of it. There has been a growing feeling that Dyment was bound to accept some one of the offers that have been made him, be cause the Uuiversitv of Oregon is not in a position to hold two men at high salaries in the same department. A successor for Dyment has not been chosen but Prof. E. W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, left today on a trip which will in all probability be more or less of a scouting trip for a man to take Prof. Dyment’s place. Prof. Allen will visit Seattle, Spokane, Ta coma and Missoula, Mont. At Missoula he will attend the convention of west ern teachers of journalism. Prof. Allen hopes to secure the man whom he had in mind wher. I'rof. Dy ment was chosen, but declined to give the name of the possible successor of Dyment. When asked if any further efforts would be made to have Dyment stay. Allen said that an offer had been | made to make the salary right if he j would be willing to stay, but that upon receiving Dyment’s notice that he had accepted the other of tr, immediate steps had been taken to find a succes sor. During Prof. Allen s absence, bis JKclasses will ho met by Prof. D.vment and ■Mr. Delay. Because of the many enforced absences of professors recently because of sickness. President Campbell is es pecially anxious that no classes fail to meet. Prof. D.vment has been at the Univer sity for the past three years and has been responsible in a large measure for the rapid growth of the journalistic school here. He graduated from Tornto college in 1900 and engaged in active news paper work until coming to the Univer sity. He was employed on the Oregon Daily Journal immediately before com ing here. The story of how Pyment came to be considered for the post which he has just accepted begins with the search of President Suzallo for a man to fill the place left vacant by resignation of the former department head. Suzallo’s search included a trip to most of the large cities A and large papers of the country but with ‘ out success. Returning to Seattle he met Dyment who was attending the Pacific Intercollegiate Conference and broach ed the subject of a professorship to him. The original offer was one of a po sition as temporary head of the depart ment with the possibility that he might either be retained or allowed to go and a successor named. Following some correspondence be tween President Suzallo and the Oregon faculty. Dyment left Saturday night for Sonttle. prepared to refuse the first offer but apparently the Washington people met Dyment’s proposals. The present interest in soccer in the University is due almost entirely to the efforts of Prof. I >yment who contri buted not only his time but money to maintain an interest in the sport. 4 HIGH SCHOOL HEARS MUSIC. | Last Thursday afternoon Prof. Ralph ■ H. Lyman and Howard Annette of the school of music appeared at the Eu gene high school assembly, giving a short j musical program for the assembly hour, j PIN MONEY FOR BOOKS # * # 4S SOMEBODY BEATS LIBRARY * * £ # DOUGLASS SPOTS VOLUME M. H. Douglass, University librarian, was in a second hand store a few days ago, looking over some books. He spot ted one with numbers on the back and recognized it as a University belonging. Mr. Douglass asked the dealer how he happened to have the book in the store, and was told that it was brought in from one of the fraternity houses to be sold with a pile of others. He rescued it and returned it to the shelves of the library. “We take inventory each year,” Mr. Douglass said when asked when he thought the mistake was made. “At this time a list is made of all missing books. Last year inventory was taken at Christmas and this book was not on the missing list. It must have been taken since then.” Y. W.

Estimated Cost of Fobs Is $200; Classes Report Plans Well Under Way. Although the college vaudeville to be given by the University classes has been postponed until after the Christmas va cation, the committees of the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes report that their plans are even now well under way for the entertainment. A definite date has not been set for the affair but it is hoped by the Student Council committee that either the first or second Friday after vacation can be had. The plan of giving a vaudeville per formance at a down-town theater was suggested when means of paying for the new gold football fobs for the Varsity were discussed by the student council. So readily was the approval of the vari ous classes gained that plans were made to give the show Saturday night of this week, because no suitable place could be had for that night the show was postponed several weeks. Under the direction of Fred Kiddle, general chairman, a committee composed of Frank Scaiefe, Echo Zahl, Ernest Watkins, Emmet Rathbun and the chair men of the class committees, Alex Bowen, senior, Leura Jerard, junior, Helen Bracht, sophomore and Elsie Fitz maurice, freshman, is in charge of the program and arrangements for the en tertainment. Besides the chairman mentioned, the other members of the class committees are: senior, Echo Zahl; junior, Marion Tuttle, Kent Wilson, Cleome Carroll, James Sheehy, and Lillian Lit tle r; sophomore, Russell Fox and Keith Kiggins, freshman, Lyle MeCrosky and Dick Avison. It is estimated that the football fobs will cost almost $200. It is the intention of the committee to keep the cost of admission to the performance low enough so that everyone in the University will be able to attend and so say that they contributed to the reward for the team. It is generally conceded that the Ore gon team has first claim to the Pacific Coast championship for the season just closed, both on account of comparative scores and also by the weight of public opinion. Since this cu-tom of giving gold footballs to the winners of con ference championships is in vogue in al most every conference, it was decided by the council that this form of reward be voted the Oregon team, in addition to the usmal sweater and letter.

C.-OREGON GAME AT PORTLAND Annual State Football Classic Will Be Staged on Thanks giving Day. Pray With California to Be the Big Campus Event of the Year. Jimmy Sheehy As nearly as can be ascertained, stu dent opinion is about evenly divided on the change in the football schedule whereby the annual campus game be tween Oregon and the Oregon Aggies will be played in Portland next year on Thanksgiving day. Prom a purely financial standpoint there is no questioning the feasibility of the move. On a monetary basis last year’s game in Eugene and this year’s struggle in Corvallis were rank failures. Football was almost an impossibility considering the condition of the gridirons. Likewise a disgruntled public, which was forced to wade in mud and water to get to the game, only to sit in the rain during the entire GO minutes of play, vowed “never again’’ after the treatment they had received. If weather conditions are at all suit able a crowd of some 15,000 fans ought to witness the state championship battle next Turkey day in the Rose City. With the gate divided on a 50-50 basis it should swell the rival student body ex chequers by a cool $5000 or more. “Although I hate to see the game taken away from the campus the scheme certainly is deserving of a trial,” asid Nicholas Jaureguy. president of the stu dent body, in commenting on the change. “It will give more of the alumni a chance to witness the game. That alone is worthy of consideration. Most of the students go home Thanksgiving so the majority will be able to witness the bat tle.” Harold Hamstreet, editor of tlio Emer aid, is of the same opinion as Jaureguy. “We’ll have the California game as the big campus attraction of the year,” said Hamstreet. “With the new athletic field an uncertainty the switch to Portland was almost a necessity. It will put us oil a sound financial basis so that we can run the rest of the sports.” “The Oregon-O. A. C. struggle ought to be a campus game,” is the way Emmett Rathbun looks on the matter. “We fought hard eigmgh to make it an annual campus affair—why make the change. It brings the undesirable ele ment of commercialism into our athletics. I hate to see the game go to Portland.” Amidst all the discussion both pro and con, one thing is certain. The campus eannot support more than one big game during any season. This much was proven after the scoreless tie of Novem ber 4, between Washington and Ore gon. Interest fell with a dull thud—eveh the 12 to 3 victory over W. S. C. and the smashing given the Aggies failed to re vive the famous “Oregon spirit.” California is bound to be one of the strongest drawing cards of the 1917 schedule. Eugene is fortunate in getting a glimpse of the Berkleyiteg in view of the fact that they make but one trip north during the year. If the new athletic field materializes a great crowd can be expected. By virtue of the Oregon-O. A. C. game going to Portland next Thanksgiving it means the cancelling of the twentieth successive Turkey day engagement be tween Multnomah and the lemon-yellow. Even since 1896 the two elevens have wound up their seasons on the Mult nomah hollow. The last three years the attendance has been falling off due to the gradual weakening of the clubmen in the football world. When the Oregon-O. A. C. game was broached -for the date, Multnomah was only too glad to give up their claim to the collegians. PRIM ENTERTAINS TEAM Football Men Eat at the Osburn and Speak and Sing. In honor of the Varsity eleven, Charles Prim gave a banquet at the Osburn hotel Sunday evening, from six o’clock on. Speeches and songs filled the time that was not otherwise occupied. Besides the members of the team, Coach Hugo Bczdek, Bill Hayward and Roland Geary, manager of the team, were present. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH VILLARD NO LONGER USED # # « « ONCE REGISTRATION HALL “The old order ehangth giving place to new.” For many long years old Villard was the scene of the annual f-eshmen regis tration. This year’s junior class was the last class to enroll in the old hall. The class of 1889 was the first class to register in old Villard. It was a dif ferent Villard from the piesent building. The registeration rooms were in the southeast corner of the lower floor and the new students lined up in two long lines along both sides of the hall and walls. The weary ones seated themselves and carved their names on the seats while they waited. For 32 years the (tutoring classes registered in the old hall. Then the erec tion of the new Administration building marked the passage of the old and the advent of the new. 250 MEAI ENROLL FOR GYM Forty Boys From Junior High Take Work Twice a Week.

SHALL STUDENT BODY Question of Building Athletic Field to Be Discussed at Meeting. POOR ACCOMMODATIONS KEEP AWAY VISITORS “Oregon Must Have Facilities or Be Inferior University” —Tiffany. Shall the associated students borrow or bond themselves for a maximum of .$15,000 to he spent on ft new athletic field? This is the question which will he introduced at the meeting of the associated students on Wednesday, Do eember 13. The matter will be voted upon December 20, stated Nicholas Jatircguy, president of the associated students. A motion to strike out the constitutional amendment which provides sweaters for band members will be voted upon Wednesday. “Oregon must have proper accommo dations for big games or will have to fall back to an inferior position among universities,” stated A. It, Tiffany, grad uate manager. “Because of the poor field and poor seating facilities there were 1500 persons loss than expected at the O. A. C. 'game in 1015,” remnrged Mr. Tiffany. In spite of the wide in terest which was shown throughout the northwest in the Oregon-Washington game this year, the number of spectators 1 was far below the number anticipated. This was all because of the poor reputa tion Oregon has in the. way of field and scats. The rain was the cause of a large loss to the student funds, for many people did not care to sit in the wet to see a game on a poor field,” asserted Mr. Tiffany. Mr. Tiffany thinks the expense of a new field would be justified h.v the re ceipts of games played on it. “The game with California which will lie played here on November 17, 1017, will be a big game and tile best advertising pos sible would be to say that Oregon has a new field which is well drained, and ade quate seating accommodations which will be comfortable even if it rains. 1 con sider the chances about 50-50 for rain on that day, by the way,” said Mr. Tif fany. The motion which will he proposed win provide for bonding the student body for a maximum of $15,000, or borrow ing that amount, although Mr. Tiffany believes that the work can be done for less than the amount asked for. lie received assurance from one bank to the effect that it will loan the desired money if asked. No bids have been re ceived, or asked for, yet. Nicholas Jaureguy states! that the board of regents will probably furnish $7,000 or $8,(XX) toward a new field, but nothing definite has been done at pres ent. This money would cover the cost of the field, but about $8,000 more will bo needed for the grandstands. The new field will he situated on the golf links in the corner bounded by Agate and Fifteenth streets. Mr. Tiffany ex pects to provide 4,000 covered seats and (1,000 bleachers for the California game if the new field is authorized. He says that eventually all the seats will be covered. WILL SELL CALENDARS Y. W. C. A. Will Offer Them to Students at Assembly Tomorrow. The University calendars gotten out by the Y. W. C. A. will be on sale to morrow at the student body meeting in Villard at 10 o’clock. Dorothy Wheeler will have them in charge. They were sold Saturday at down town stores. The association girls are undertaking to sell 1000 of them. GLEE CLUB TRIP POSTPONED Will Not Appear In Cottage Grove as Has Been Planned. The proposed trip of the dice club to Gottage Grove has been postponed. However, Hothwell Avisos, manager of the Glee club, is negotiating with June j tion City for a date.
