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.

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 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.’’
