More than 80 pounds of music and $5
in cash are the results of the final drive
of the music campaign, which was staged
last night, when two squads working
in automobiles visited every fraternity,
sorority and boarding house on the
campus. The grand result of the cam
pany is given at about 1300 pieces of
music, weighing 105 pounds.
Every place visited answered with a
contribution, either money or music, and
townspeople have been generous in giv
ing. A letter containing a dollar "to
help purchase music for the boys in
TYance,” was received by the committee
from a Eugene woman yesterday.
Appeal Far-reaching.
■ A woman in Portland wrote in answer
to the appeal for music in the Emerald,
and naked for an address to which to
send her collection of songs. She writes:
“1 have about 12 or more popular pieces
1 can send, and hope by bo doing I
may bring joy to many of our soldier
boys.”
The address to which nil the. music
has been sent is, ‘‘Miss Elizabeth Stew
art, Y. M. C. A. Headquarters, care Mr.
E. C. Carter, 12 Itue D’Aguesseau,
American Expeditionary Forces, France.”
No city name is given in the address.
Miss Stewart, to whom the music is
sent, is a librarian in France, and a
friend of a member of the music com
mittee. Miss Stewart went to Franco
to do canteen work, hut when it was
found that she was an experienced
librarian, she wns transferred imme
diately to that work.

diers coming from distant hut». In a
letter she tells of their appeals for pop
ular music, and her inability to supply
it because of the lack in France. “It
is impossible to buy it here,” she wrote.
The music committee declares that
the result* of the campaign have exceed
ed their fondest hopes. "We thought
we might get about 35 pounds,” said a
committee member this morning, “but
105 pounds—well, we didn’t even dream
that.” .
Final Shipment Made.
The shipment this morning will be
the last one made by the Jdmerald cam
paign committee, but the committee
urges that anyone who wishes to con
tribute more music will send It directly
to Miss Stewart in France.
The committee in charge of the mu
sic campaign was as follows: Adelaide
Lake, chairman, Pearl Craine, Dora
Richard, and Lucile Messner. The can
vassing squads who relumed with the
results last night consisted of Ruth
Westfall, Dora Richard, Rill Ilnseltine,
and Bill .Steers, in the first squad; Cur
tiss Peterson, Mellie Parker, and Mer
ritt Whitten, in the second squad.

Oregon will have one of the hardest
series of basketball games of the season
when she meets the University of Wash
ington quintet next Monday and Tuesday
ovening. Comparative scores show the
two teams to be about evenly matched,
as neither of them has won any games
so far, and both have been defeated
twice by the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege five.
Both Teams Beaten by 0. A. C.
O. A. C. defeated Oregon by 20 points
In both of the games played, while only
ten points separated the contestants
when O. A. C. played the University of
Washington team. While this differ
ence in score might tend to swing the
odds in favor of the purple and gold,
it is hard to compare the merits of de
feated teams. In the game between O.
A. C. and Washington the Aggies piled
up a score of 13 to 1 in the first half

of one of the games, and then, during
the rest of the evening, allowed their
opponents to register 7 points in the
last half, while they were content
with 6.
Looking at the scores in the Confer
ence it may be seen that Washington
State beat the University of Washington
by only 2 points, while the Aggies had
little trouble in running np & large
score. From the mass of “dope” that
may be secured on this subject, it looks
as if it were pretty much of a 50-50
proposition.
“Dot” Medley Will Play.
The Oregon team has been materially
strengthened by the return to the game
of "Dot” Medley, which will give
them a better chance against the north
ern university. While Medley was able
to play in the game with the Aggies,
his injured ankle is now in much bet
ter shape than it was on that occasion.
The Oregon team as a whole seems to
have more speed and fight at present
than it has shown so far this season.
The Washington team, it is reported,
is also in better shape than when they
took on the Aggies, and for that reason
they hope to break into the victory col
umn against Oregon next week. It is
probable that Ide and Holbrook will
start at forwards for the University of
Washington. Jamieson has been play
ing center all season, so he will prob
ably start at that position. Cook and
Murphy have been playing guard in
nearly all the Washington games and
will start here unless some eleventh
hour change is made.
Graduating Class This Year

Size and Cost to Be Determined
by Length of War; Mem
ber Enlisted.
It is probable that the senior me
morial this year will be given to start
a fund townrd n memorial for Oregon
men in the service of their country. The
student council originated the idea of a
memorial and has discussed plans for
having the memorial take the form of
a statue on the campus.
The size and cost of such a monument
will be decided by the number of men
who enlist and the length of the war.
Dance Proceeds to Holp.
Other plans for raisiug the fund neces
sary, inelude devoting proceeds of stu
dent dances, and the giving of benefit
affairs.
The seniors will take action at their
next class meeting on the suggestion of
letting their memorial be the first step
toward the lnrger one.
Mrs. George Gerlinger, member of the
board of regents, met with a committee
front the student council yesterday to
discuss plans for the student memorial.
As chairman of the woman's building
fund campaign, Mrs. Gerlinger suggest
ed that a room, to he known as the
alumni room, in the woman's buildiug,
be endowed as a memorial room, and
that the University service flag be hung
there. -/
Council Favors Plan.
The decision of the student council
favored an outside memorial, and Mrs.
(lerliuger, heartily in favor of a monu
ment on the campus, withdrew her sug
gestion.
All money subscribed will he left in
the hands of someone permanently on
the campus, in the event of such a me
morial fund being started.
The committee which met with Mrs.
Gerlinger, was composed of Rau Couch,
chairman, Cora llosford, Clinton
Thienes, Frances Prater, from the stu
dent council, and Charles Dundore, sen
ior representative.
Deans Straub and Young, and
Professors Stafford and
Gilbert Elected
Members.
P. 0. Crockatt to Get Master’s
Degree; Condolence to
Gurney’s Family.
Dean John Straub, Dean F. G. Young,
Professor O. F. Stafford and Dr. James
II. Gilbert were elected to the faculty
advisory board at the faculty meeting
Thursday afternoon. Dean H. D. Sheldon
and Dr. James D. Barnett, whose terms
have not expired, are also members of
the board. Retiring members are Dean
Eric W. Allen, Dr. George Rebec. Dr.
John F. Bovard and Dr. Joseph Schafer.
The faculty voted to grant degrees to
Mrs. H. L. Hussong of Astoria, wife of
the city superintendent of schools, Tao
Sun, senior in the University, and Percy
M. Stroud. A master or arts degree will
be granted to Professor Peter C. Crock
ett, who has completed his thesis on
‘‘The Promise of the American Merchant
Marine."
To Send Letter of Condolence.
The president was requested to send
a letter of condolence to the parents of
James B. Gurney, reported in the list of
victims of the sinking of the Tuscania.
Gurney, who entered as a freshman last
October, left soon after the Thanksgiv
ing holidays to join the Twentieth En
gineers, forestry division.
A resolution was passed to be pre
sented to the regents calling attention to
the fact that the cost of living has risen
HO per cent since 1913, the last time the
professor's salaries were raised. The
high cost of living has worked an es
pecial hardship on those professors re
ceiving less than ?1500 a year.
Registration Systom Criticized.
Criticisms were made of the new sys
tem of registration which was used this
term, whereby several professors main
tain that two or three days time is lost.
Professor H. C. Howe said that in or
der to see all his majors he would have
to dismiss his classes for two days if
the system was continued.
Frofessor James Gilbert suggested
that a day just before examinations be
devoted to registration. Suggestions or
complaints are to be made to Dr. A. E.
Caswell, chairman of the committee.
Dr. A. E. Caswell, one of the com
mittee in charge of the mass meeting
of the men of the University, called
for 9:45 o'clock tomorrow morning, an
nounced this afternoon that it would
be impossible to hold the meeting in '
Guild Hall, but that it would be held
in Villard Hall at the appointed houC
