VOL. 19. EUGENE, OREGON. THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1917. NO. 14. PATRIOTIC MS REFUSE HEARING TO MILITANTS ATTEMPT TO FORCE AN AUDIENCE UPON OREGON FRATERNITY SISTERS. COURTESY EXTENDED BY “U” WOMEN VIOLATED Kappa and Pi Phi Girls Resent Effort to Convert Dinner Into Woman's Party Meeting. Taking advantage of a fraternal cour tesy extended them by the local chapters of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi, of which national organizations they are members. Miss Anne Martin and Miss Oalderhead, who were refused a hearing by the loyal women of Eugene, last night attempted to convert a social dinner at which they were guests at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house in to a Woman’s party meeting and were repudiated by the women of the two fraternities. Miss Martin and Miss Calderhead, both members of the radical element of the Woman’s party who have been at tempting to force President Wilson into supporting the national suffrage amend ment by methods condemned throughout the country, arrived in Eugene several days ago and attempted to hold a meet ing among the women of the city. Not only did the women refuse to meet with them, but also they were denied the use of the Hotel Osburn and other places where they wished to hold meetings. Took Mean Advantage. Miss Martin is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Miss Calderhead of the Pi Beta Phi. As a matter of fra ternal courtesy they were asked as.(Sin ner guests at the Kappa house last eve ning and arrangements were made to have the Pi Beta Phi girls join the group in a social way following the dinner. Ac cording to members of the two fraterni ties the girls understood that the meet ing was to be purely a social one and that political questions were not to be brought up. When granked a hearing Miss Mar tin at once launched into a discussion of the topic which the girls looked upon as taboo. She urged that the fight which the mili tants have been carrying on in Washing ton for immediate passage of the na tional suffrage amendment be carried on even though it may hinder in the prose cution of the war. She said that it is necessary that the amendment he passed at once and condemned President Wilson for his refusal to recognize the militants who have ben staging demonstrations in Washington attacking the president. Women Leave Room, Most of the women left the room when Miss Martin's remarks began to border upon the unpatriotic, but others remained to remonstrate with her. Her request to turn the gathering into a woman’s party meeting was denied and when she offered to read a resolution calling upon Presi dent Wilson to urge the immediate pass age of the suffrage amendment she was hissed down. Not for a moment would (Continued on pa^e four.) ORDERED TO SAN ANTONIO ORDNANCE STUDENTS SOON TO GO TO GOVENRMENT ARSENAL tudents in the ordnance class who are now completing their course of in struction in the School of Commerce will be on their way to the Government Arsenal at San Antonio. Texas, by No vember 12. This positive assurance has just been received by Prof. C. C. Jere miah, director of the ordnance stores course, in a telegram from the War De partment at Washington. Prof. Jeremiah is authorized to enlist the men individually as fast as they complete their work, as each man will entrain for San Antonio immediately fol lowing his enlistment. The War Depart ment considers it inadvisable to enlist the men in a body. This means that as soon-as the class returns to the campus from its visit to the industrial plants at Portland on November 5, and 7. they will take their final examinations and be mustered into the federal serve ■. Prof. Jeremiah believes that the details of examinations wnd mustering in can be completed by Saturday, November 10. o that the en tire class of 50 men who have been re cruited from various parts <X s*.e Pa cific coast will become a unit of the ! national defense service at the earliest j moment. Classmates Submerge a Frosh Member. Paint Appears on Campus. But the Freshmen Appear Soon and Green Marks Vanish Halloween and the goblin spirit got the best of some freshmen last night if the signs of activity on the campus this morning between 12:30 and three o’clock can be taken as an indication. The evening's program ran something lige this: ? p. m.—Taint makes its appearance on the library steps, the senior bench, the fence about Kincaid field and sev eral of the sidewalks leading to the University. 11 p. m.—The frosh vigilance com mittee meets on Kincaid field. 11:01 p. m.—The paint is discovered. 12:30 a. m.—"Proxy” Hammersley, under the watchful eye of a half dozen frosh. washes the senior bench free from stain. 1:00 a. m.—“Rig" Rosenberg gets some more h,ot Voter. 2:00 a. m.—Justice (Blindfolded, ns usual) holds court in Kincaid field. 2:58 a. m.— Neptune receives his of ferings at his shrine back of the Kappa Rig house. ‘‘We were bound that we would beat ’em to it.” said one of the frosh at the close of the program. “The seniors protect us so why shouldn’t we pro test. their bench?” The climax to the morning’s celebra tions came when a member of the vig ilance committee was taken in hand and first ducked then hot-handed just as the third hour of today was striking. Today and for several days to come, Rollin Woodruff will eat from the Delt mantle. ONLY FOUR CANDIDATES APTEAR FOR CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM U. to Meet 0. A. C. Before Football Game Thanksgiving Day in Portland; Not One Veteran From Last Year’s Team in College “What I need is more men to work with,” said Bill Hayward last night in speaking of the cross-country team. “So far only four or five eligible men have been turning out regularly, so I have no way of telling bow we stand.” The annual O. A. C.-Oregon meet will be held this year in Portland just prior to the football game between these two schools on Thanksgiving Day. Instead of using merely four men as in former years either six or ten will be entered from each school, thus making the event, one of much greater competition be tween the institutions, as well as be tween the individuals entered. Last year, much to the surprise of everyone, Oregon tied the Aggies in Corvallis. However, not a single man who entered that meet is in school this year, so consequently Hayward has to develop a team from all new material. Their is a chance for anyone above freshment standing to represent the University in this mee* and every man who ever used a pair of track shoes is urged to turn out at once. The schedule has not been arranged as yet but according to Hayward no varsity games will be held until after ■the Christmas holidays. GIRLS’ BAND TRYOUT SET Will Contest Saturday: First Practice Monday in Villard With practically enough girls signed up, tryouts for the University women’s band are expected to be held next Sat urday and the initial practice will prob ably be held in Villard hall Monday night, according to Albert Perfect, band director in the school of music. Already twenty instruments have been promised, but ten or more are need ed. Mr. Perfect said, so if any students can secure them from their home towns they are asked to do so. CANOEING RECORD IS MADE Grctchen Colion and Helen Case Do Mile and a Half in 13 Minutes The canoeing record was broken the other day when TTFctcTIen * niton and ; Helen Case got ot the paddles. They covered the canoeing course which is over one ami a half mils long in thirteen minutes. The fastest record previously made was seventeen minutes. This rec ord was made at the inter-class race which is held annually in the Spring. FRED PACKWOOD IS CHAIRMAN OF GROUP APPOINTED TO COL LECT TEXTS FOR MEN IN THE U. S. ARMY CAMPS Portland Public Library Co-operates With University by Forwarding Reading Matter to Men Books for the members of the T’nitod States array now eneamped throughout the country are being collected on the campus by a committee composed of Fred Backwood, chairman, Herman Lind and Jesse Witty and will be for warded to the camps through the Port land public library. Mr. Pnckwood has arranged to have a box installed in ‘the University library in which books may be placed at any time. “Our quota is 1000 books’’ said Mr. Pnckwood today. “That means that each of us will have to give about three books. This is a comparatively small number as far ns the individual is con cerned if each one will take the matter seriously.” Mr. Packwood plans a house to house canvass among the sororities and fra ternities, and would like volunteers to handle the collection of books from the town students. The collection of books must be given immediate attention, said Packwood. else the studies of the men will be delayed until they are ordered into active service. Miss Isom, of the Portland public library, has written the following letter describing the native of the books de sired : “Send the textbooks directly to us so that they can be sorted and shipped on call. The men at the camps have now got to the point where they send us orders for so many trigonometries, al gebras. etc., they do not care for a mis cellaneous box of texts. A largo number of certain textbooks is si ill needed— algebras, trigonometries, geometries.j arithmetics, Gregg shorthand, hooks on typewriting, spellers, modern histories, practical English, elementary French and Spanish. Do not send us any Latin books, I am having to throw out so many. Neither do they ask for physiol ogy nor any of the sciences. “I wish you would toll the students how much the books are apreciated. I had an interview with Dr. Coleman the (Continued on page four.) OLD PLAYERS OUT FOR WORK BEFORE OFFICIAL CALL Hayward to Take Bezdek’s Place as Coach; Last Year’s Men Have Charge Till Close of Foot ball Season. Although the official call for basket ball has not been sounded as yet by Coach Bill Hayward, many members of last year’s varsity and frosh squads are turning out regularly, getting into condition for the coming season, which will begin immediately after the con cluson of the football season. Kvery afternoon for the past week ffom eight to ten men have been shooting baskets and passing in the gymnasium and con ditions are very favorable for a good team. As Bezdek is going to leave as soon as football is over, Hayward has been appointed to succeed him in basketball. Bill has had considerable experience in that line, in that he has coached the freshman teams regularly while Bez dek took full charge of the varsity. Some of last year's men are taking charge of the practice until Hayward will be relieved of his duties with the football squad, which will be immediate ly after Thanksgiving Day. “We are going to win and to wipe out last year’s defeats.” Hayward declared today. “We have the material, and with an early start we should be able to put a winner on the floor.” In order that all men will be given a c-h.ince. four baskets will be set up in the drill shed next to the gymnasium to take eare of the overflow on the main floor. The frosh s$uad will be accomodated here thus living the gum nasium proper to varsity eandidates only. Among those who have been turning ~il this wv.k ili'e .T.-m l'V,A, I.r In si varsity, and Ned Fowler. Tirnie Boylen, Lee Waldron and Carl Knudsen of the frosh team of last year. Others who ought to bid well for positions ori the team are CstI Nelson, Walter Orebe, Lynn McCready and Dow Wilson, ail of] whom are experienced men.

Besides these invitations, 1000 Ore gon stickers are to be circulated, and the publicity committee urges every student to write to members of the “old guard” and use the miniature posters freely. The Portland Alum association is making efforts to gain from Oregon camps permission for University men now in training to visit the campus November 17. The fraternities seem hopeful that many of the men now in the service may be present. Marie Badurn. head of the dance committee, has named 'the following as patrons and patronesses: Governor and Mrs. James Withycoihbe, President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, C. O. Peterson, mayor of Eugene, Frank Jenkins, presi dent of Eugene Chamber of Commerce, Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Dean Elizabeth Fox. Dr. and Mrs. O. F. Stafford. Judge and Mrs. E. O. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Bean, Dr. and Mrs. F. G. Schmdit, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Piper, Dr. John Lands bury, Ada Hall and Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Bates. Music for the dance will be furnished by Hendersehott’s 12-piece orchestra, and probably musical selections by the combined glee clubs. Decorations will be made in the Ore gon colors, but will be used only on the stage and for the punch booth. Campus Luncheon Planned “A real feed" is what Ilelene De lano. president of Women’s League, wants the campus luncheon to be. The men’s gymnasium will be tire location of a regular cafeteria, say the members of the committee. Housing of the guests is in charge of a committee headed by Paul Spangler, who says that each one will be properly taken care of. Hearty co-operation is promised the University by down-town merchants, who arc planning special Oregon win dows with “lemon-yellow” greatly in evidence. 3RD OFFICERS’ RESERVE CORPS NOT OPEN TO OREGON MEN. Graduates <>f the University of Ore gon apparently are not going to he ad mitted to the Third Officers’ Reserve Training camps on the same basis as to the two previous camps. This would appear from the fact that to date the University has not been included in the list of those colleges and universities whose graduates are to be recommended for admission to the next camp. It was at first anonanced that only men already in the federal service would be admitted this time. Outer this was changed to include graduates of military colleges of repute and to a few universities which recently installed military instruction. Notable among these being Harvard and Princeton. Application was made by the Uni versity for consideration when this list was being made up but apparently noth ing has been done toward this end, for -tri iv oh-‘ "" '■■■'■‘■■rob hen- of the naming of the University as one of Un favored ones. The plea for a place on the list was based on the fact that graduates made good at the other two camps and it should naturally follow that they would at this next series of camps. Liberty Bond Speech Is Changed. Prof. F. S. Dunn and Grorgio Mc Morran Find Tlvdir Audience Ready For W. C. T. U. Nobody at Irving know that Professor F. S. Dunn, of the University, and GeoTge McMorran, Eugene business man. were to deliver an address on Liberty Bonds last Friday when they stepped off the train at Irving and asked for direction to the “bond meting.” Both had carefully prepared speeches on Liberty bonds but inquiry at the depot revealed that there was no bond meet ing. Somthing was wrong and Professor Dunn and Mr. McMorran investigated further, it became known today. One citizen was finally found on the street who told that the only meeting of the day in Irving was then being held at the schoolhouse. It was in the mem ory of Frances Willard, he said. He said that two Eugene men were sched uled to speak. “Who was Frances Willard ” asked Mr. McMorran. Both later appeared on the speaker’s platform at the memorial meeting but the details of their addresses were not given out in Eugene until yesterday. Mr. McMorran’s remarks on the life of the \ W. O. T. U, founder were necessarily ; extemporaneous except for the patriotic touch given to the address through a mention of the Liberty bonds and Lib erty bond week.

Haseltine) No South Son. soothsayer is needed to toll who will win when Oregon bucks nip against the Mare Island Marines on Multnomah field in Portland next Sat urday. A glance at the sailors’ lineup is sufficient to silence the most rabid Oregon enthusiast, but in spite of the fact that Oregon is out-doped from every angle, a quiet confidence is per vading the team that, they will give the much-vaunted Marines a run for their money. From what Conch Bezdek says, the running will be n|U on the (part of Johnny Beckett, and his cohorts. “They can mnke the score nnything they want to,” said Bez. “There isn’t a spot on my line they can’t hammer for gains and as for offense—there is none.” Bar Williams Leaves Ranks Baa Williams’ departure from the ranks, left the couch without an ex perienced man in the line. Baz was the best man on the team at breaking up plays innd could also take his turn at carrying the hall. Berg, who played guard, during the first part of the seas on will take his place Saturday. Glen Macey and “Dot" Medley are both practically recovered from their injuries and may get in the battle also. Bezdek was undecided last night how many men lie would tnke to Portland Friday morning. At least 18 will make the trip and possibly the entire squad. Everybody is assured the trip to the <). A. C. game on Thanksgiving.

House Managers Sign Pledge For Conservation of Food The pledge card campaign for food conservation closed todn.v when the house managers of the various clubs and fraternal organizations, in response to short tall(s by the food conservation committee appointed by Chairman Shee ny, signed the following pledge: “To the Food Administrator: I am glad to join you in the service of food conservation for our nation and I hereby accept membership in the United States Food Administration, pledging myself to carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administrator in my home, in sofar as my circumstances permit.” Speakers Address Groups. A speaker went to each of the houses and spoke briefly during the lunch hour. Kmnm Wootton spoke at Kappa Kappa Camilla. Chi Onmga, and Delta Gamma; Lenra Jerard went to Delta Delta Del ta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Mary Spil ler; Jeanette Calkins addressed Kappa Alpha Theta, J’i Beta Phi and Alpha I 1,i; George Cook talked to Sigma Chi, i eitn Tau Delta, and Phi Delta Theta; Thurston Caraway went to Sigma Xu, I• i• t:i Tlo lo Pi. arid Alpha Tau Omega; Jimmy Sheehy spoke to Kappa Sigma, Friendly Hall, and Phi Gamma Delta. Each house was given a food adminis tration card to display in its windows. Co-operation Willing. The houses are reported by the speakers to be showing a sincere interest in the campaign. Without exception they 1mvo reorganized thoir menus so as to conserve the great staples, wheat, red moat, augar and fats. "Cutting down on these four articles does not necesasrily mean a reduction of house bilis,” says .Innmy Sheehy, "because substitutes have to be found for them, and the sub stitutes cost as much as the original article or even more.” Miss Tingle To Aid. In the matter of substitutes Miss Lil lian Tingle, head of the domestic arts department, is working out sets of menus which she will present to the various rumpus organizations soon. Miss Tin**' says that substitutions can not be made at random, but must be made with some knowledge of the nutritive values of the f< ods which we attempt to substitute. In a follow-up campaign Miss Tingle, with the co-operation of Dean Fox, will make talks to the houses in which she will give out some first hand informa tion on foods which can be intelligently substituted for the four staples which we must conserve. “The food campaign has so far been a great success,” said Jeanette Calkins, n member of the food conservation coin rnittee. “Some of the houses anticipated tlie camrms campaign and had already signed pledge cards and turned them over to A. C. Dixon, the epunty food ad ministrator. Everyone was glad to co operate.’’
