WHAT! IS CAESAR DEAD? * * * # DOG LANGUISHES IN JAIL * * #- £ KAPPA SIGS BAIL HIM OUT The Kappa Sigs were wroth. They were exceedingly wroth. Someone had murdered- Caesar. At least that was the message received over the phone yes terday, arousing the brothers to instant action. Caesar had been missing for about a week. This was not unusual. He was often missing except at meal time. No one thought anything about it until yes terday when a feminine voice over the phone said that he was dead. A child had teased Caesar. The royal soul of the dog had rebelled and he had re taliated with a sharp nip. A cruel police man had shot him. There was an indignation meeting around the fireplace and threats were made against the offending cop. When lo! he appeared and made haste to ex plain. Caesar had bitten the child. But he had not been shot. Instead he had >een arrested and had languished all night in a darksome cell. “We gotta bail the* little runt out,” said Karl Bronaugh, and it was done. The policeman departed wondering at the way of men and richer by one cigar. Peace settled down , over the Kappa Sigma house. CLUB TO HAVE XMAS TREE Ten New Members Are Added to the German Club.

WOMEN’S PLACE ON CAMPUS Is Topic of Discussion at Tuesday Meet ing of Eutaxian Literary Society. The Eutazian literary society met Tuesday evening in Prof. Schafer’s room in the library, where it plans to meet during the cold weather. Several new members were taken in after which a p'ogram was given. The first number was a ukulele duet by Margaret Rogers and Jessie Garner. A discussion of “Woman’s place on the Oregon Campus’’ followed. Mary Alice Ilill gave a brief resume of wo man’s plaee in the world's work to show the relative position Oregon lias with respect to other colleges and the world. To supplement this Mary Johns reported a few interviews witli different Univer sity departments concerning the relative standings of men and women in classes. According to her. Dr Gilbert and Prof. Jackson both say that women do bet ter work than men in their classes, but this they think is due to the fact that the majority of their students are men and only women specially gifted enter these classes. Dr. Schmidt said women are better students. “Women have a more highly developed sense of duty,” he declared. The library could make no estimate of which sex took out the greater number of books. It is thought men do less reading than women but their reading is of deeper books. Women at present have higher standings than men in scholastic work. , The conclusion drawn was that there is a remarkable equality on the campus intellectually and socially. PROF. REDDIE MAY RETURN Rumor Circulating on Campus That In structor Will Be Back. A rumor circulating on the campus to day says that I’rof. A. F. Iteddie will be back to resume his work in the Uni versity as head of the department of dra matic interpretation next semester. When asked for verification of the report K. W. Onthank, secretary to the president, said he could give no positive information. lie admitted there would be a “possibility” of the executive com mittee of the Board of Itegents taking the matter up in their meeting tonight and the committee would probably act upon the recommendation of President Campbell. It is understood Prof. Iteddie is willing to give up his lyceum work and resume his work at the University. CLUB TO AID IN CHARITY Newman Club Appoints Committee to Co-operate With Parishes.

WHEW PUY IS WELL RECEIVED “Magic of Oz” Is Played Last Night in Guild Hall to Large Audience. C. Bnnfield. Old and young alike were afforded a delightful treat last night in witnessing the “Magic of Oz,” written by Rosalind Bates, presented in Guild hall. The play was a clever arrangement of some nine of the Oz stories by Frank Lyman Baum, so well known to almost every child. Dorothy Gale, “just a little girl” who would do no harm for “anything in the world." was portrayed by Leta Rhodes with childish simplicity and sweetness. Her pet cat. Eureka, a character created almost entirely by Mrs. Bates was cleverly handled by Oleome Carroll., Miss Mamie Gillette as Mombie the witch was truly wicked, used a vocabu lary of reproachful names found no where but among such terrible creatures. Scraps, the patch-woik girl, played by Martha Beer, was altogether what her name signifies—both in clothes and brains—and afforded much amusement. Harriet l’olhemus as the Scarecrow, was a fantastic figure—all that the name implies, while Victor Setter in the Cowardly Lion was admirable. Professor II. M. Wogglebug, T. E. was well handled by Clayton Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin was consistent throughout his role. Uubids, King of the Nomcs, was most extravagently portrayed by Charles Prim. Mr. y.rim has the tendency to over characterize, which often protrudes noticeably and did last night even in this unusual character of the Nome King. The Tick-Tock man, “the most per fect mechanical man in existence, guar anteed for 2fX)0 years,” was Jay Gore. Air. Uores interpretation was very praise worthy and added one of the very distiinct “wonder-land” touches to the entire production. The Wizard of Oz—“the Great and Terrible”—did not prove to be at all ter rible but a mere person who had fallen into the land of Oz from a parachute. With the exception of the last act the play went through with snap anil spirit but the ending was somewhat weak. Young women under the direction of Miss Goldsmith added greatly to the charm of the play. No less a treat was the music by the University orches tra. under the direction of Miss For bes. The production as a whole was given under the direction of Or. and Mrs. Kates and Mrs. Shaefer and Miss Itosa mond Shaw ably assisted with the cos tumes, which were adecpmte and attrac tive.

OREGANA STAFF MEETS 125-Page Feature Section Is Planned by Adrienne Epping, Feature Editor. At a meeting last week of the Oregnna staff, plans for the year’s is sue were discussed and new features planned. •> “The hook is to he full of new pictures —new campus pictures—original snap shots, and with the help of Jimmie Vance, Adrienne Epping is planning to make the feature division one of the largest that has ever been put out by any junior classes’’ said Emma Wootten, editor-in-chief. “We are planning on running about 1 pages of features alone. No old ideas will he allowed to DeWitt Gilbert and lOcl Harwood are working out a lot of good stuff that might be classed as student activities. Their department will take up such acti vities as Commencement, Junior week end, underclass mix and Berkeley rally, and all such. Cress Maddoek is in charge of the ad vertising, with Chuck Hundore and Kd Harwood as assistants. He is soliciting merchants and business houses of both Portland and Eugene. In this capacity Miss 'Wootton asks any stu dents who live in the smaller towns of the state who can and will secure ads, to do so—that will help. “The Ore gano goes all over the state,” she said, “and no one who is not in Eugene or in Portland or in the districts which are not directly associated with them, will be backward about putting in a little adver tisement, for it will help them more than any of the local papers or publications could. “Have you seen any rubber soled camera artists sneaking around the cam pus and snapping everyone at rundinpV” she continued, “Well, don’t be alarmed for it is only the staff protographer of the Oregana who is out after material. If he comes up to you and wants your picture in the negative he carries, let him have it it is for the Oregana and you will not be alone in your glory.” “Annonncemerfts will be made very soon of dates for the taking of fraternity and class pictures.” The next meeting of the staff will take place on Tuesday evening, December lb, at 7 o’clock.

The gifts have by now reached a total [ of about $9600. Squad,Accompanied by Coaches and Rooters, Begins Journey West Friday. Dope Seems Unfavorable to Oregon; Bets Everywhere Favor Southern Team. Hiding in tho second “Golden Special” from the intellectual East to the be nighted West, the Pennsylvania squad, accompanied by coaches and rooters, be gins its journey next Ftrida.v. Only nine men out of the eleven own motor cars. At Cornell they could only raise $5000 between them to bet on the game. Fancy their smiles of amused tolerance at the idea of an Oregon “mule skinner” being able to play football. Crossing the continent in a luxurious special train equipped with every con venience including shower baths and sci entifically cooked food, these fine gentle men will have every care taken for their well-being. No doubt it would be “rather interesting, you know” to see a football star who has made his living working in a mine. At Pennsylvania a few days ago prac tice was called tiff because it was raining, a report to a Western paper says. It must be terrible to drive a bakery wagon in an Oregon town. Did one of these Eastern gentlemen ever wash windows or stoke a furnace; vide with eow-punchers or sweat with lumberjacksV Oh my, no! Accompanying the squad of 24 men are four coaches and trainers including Dr. M. Wharton, diet specialist, and 100 students probably part of the crowd that bet $25,000 on the Cornell game— and won. will entertain the entire crowd during their sojourn. A special dispatch to the Los Angeles Times says the l’enn boys do not take the game vvitli Oregon too seriously. Coach Folwell says they are' to have no scrimmage before the game. At Albuquerque, X. \L, a great Christ mas tree is to be prepared for them which, the report says, is to be "pack ed with presents.” There is to be a Christmas dinner, too, with half-a-dozen turkeys, and a table “laden with dain ties.” Dope seems very unfavorable to Ore gon. Coach Andy Smith, California’* $12,000 mentor, says Oregon is going to get ‘‘one awful walloping.” Senti.. in the Golden Gate city is anything but favorable. Bets are running 7 to 15 on Pennsylvania. One three-to-one wager has it Penn will whale Oregon .‘10 points. In our own state Roseoe Fawcett, fig uring through Notre Dame, favors Pen nsylvania from 10 to 14 points. Oregon is fighting the whole country. Super-man Howard Berry, All-East ern—und according to some critics, All American fullback, for a tilin' was bland ly indifferent about the Pasadena game. But after some contemplation of back work which the faculty seemed desirous of having done before lie go, the great star consented to come out and play against Oregon. John M. Scott, general passenger agent for tin* Southern Pacific says the gUfne on New Year’s day will lie a great ad vertisemen. for Oregon. Presumably he means a good advertisement. But there are good and bad advertise ments. Well? ORATORIO TO BE GIVEN University Vesper Choir Will Give Se lections From “Messiah” at Vespers. i The University vesper choir, composed of the combined Men’s and Women's Glee clubs, will give selection!, from Handels “Messiah” for the vesper ser vice Sunday afternoon nt 4:50 in Vil— lard hall. This is one of the most popular of the oratorios from the American standpoint, and is invariably given at Christmas time. If the entire oratorio were given it would require from two and one half to three hours for the performance. The vesper choir will give about 15 of the selections consisting of chorus and solo numbers. The soloists will lie Martha W. Tinker, soprano; Leah Perkins, contralto; Prof. Lyman, tenor; and Albert Gillette, baritoue.
