Students Urged by Y. M. C. A.
National Secretary to War
Against War.
COLLEGE MADE GOOD
IN GREAT CONFLICT
Looked to With Expectation by
Nation for Big Things,
Says Speaker.
David R. Porter, national atudent sec
retary of the Y. M. A., was the prin
cipal speaker at the first assembly of
ithe new term, held on Wednesday morn
ins- In addition to Mr. Porter's talk,
the Girls’ Glee dub entertained with a
selection, making their first public ap
pearance on the campus.
Mr. Porter, who succeeded John R.
Mott as national student secretary upon
-the latter’s resignation to go into over
seas work, spoke on the building of the
new world and pointed out the opportu
nities of the universities in this rebuild
ing. He said in pant:
‘‘The criticism of the universities over
the world heard during the last decade—
that they were not turning back to t'he
state the equivalent in'service of the
money put into them—is not now heard.
No other class furnished as many in t'he
war service as the student class. The
university student is now looked upon
with expectation by the nation, this ex
pectation being at once a challenge and
a burden.
Life Mover So Rich
“Life was never so rich and full of
significance as it is this year. Life would
l»e poor indeed if not richer from the
'heritage of aims handed on to us. We
have a chance this year that no previous
students ever had, that of building vrp
new foundations for a new world- We
cannot live for ourselves, but for the
world henceforth.
“We cannot forget the eleven million
graves scattered over Europe and Asia.
It is hard to think in millions. Yet each
one of us can think in unfits—multiply
that by ten million if you can. A call
comes to us fro-m the muddy, muddy
fields of Flanders, to finish the war; a
call to take up the burden they have hail
to lay down, take up the aims of this
war. And if we do not, those .hero dead
will not Test beneeth Flanders fields.’ ”
Mr. Porter went on to say that not
only must the students carry on: the aim's
of the war, but that .hey nr. st dedbeato
themselves that war will be ended for
all time to come. 11 < emphasized the fact
that the sustaining tin light of the fight
ing men, the closer they came and the
more unspeakable it became, was that
they were doing tlm only thing they
knew how to destroy it.
Concrete Tasks Set
In a response for concrete, definite
things to do toward the budding of the
new world. Mr. Porter gave as two, work
in the World's Christian Student Federa
tion and in the foreign missionary enter
prise of the church.
Preseident Campbell paid a short trib
ute to the memory of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, at the close of the hour, when
he said that “the world was much poorer
la the logs of this great, vigorous force
for high standards in public and private
life*
PACKARD DECLINES OFFER
Professor Mot to Becoir.3 One of Party
of Geologists for Oil Company.
Prof (■••or P. L. Packard, of tko ge
ology department, recently refused an
offer from an important California oil
company to go with a party of geologists
and oil men to different parts of Cen
tral and £k>uth America to investigate
the possibilities of opening mp an oil
field there.
Deposits of cretaceous rock in which
pools of oil are often found are located
in that region, according to Professor
Packard, and he was asked to make a
study of the rook formations ■which would
probably decide the advisability of drill
ing in that part of the oonntry.
The party expected to leave about

Men of University
Step Out in New
Sartorial Style
The Tower of Babel was supposed to
be the original home of the various lan
guages. For the origin of original cos
tumes, however, the seeker of knowledge
must, study the University of Oregon.
The coat of many colors, of Bible fame,
is not in it, when compared with some
of the outfits worn on the campus to
1 clay, especially by the men.
The favorite combination seems to be
array pants, with or without leggings,
accompanied by any kind of a shirt and
a sweater. The effect of the green cap
when worn with this outfit, is simply ir
resistible. White shirts with the khaki
trousers, set off by a flaming red neck
tie is another great well-liked group.
The army overcoat is probably the
greatest single feature seen on the cam
pus. It is not necessarily accompanied
by a uniform or army hat. It is argued
that neither of these are necessary to
make the coat any warmer. The navy
pea jackets are also seen in abundance,
not being entirely confined to the men.
A very striking effect has been obtained
by combining the navy blouse with the
army trousers.
It has been rumored about the cam
pus, that a fashionable men's designer
will be here in a few days to study the
situation, with a view to establishing
new styles about the country.
ANNIVERSARY IS OBSERVED
Thomas G. Hcro'ricks. Father of Uni- !
versity. Celebrates Golden Wedding.
CVlelvratin.g their golden wedding an
niversary. Air. and 'Mrs. Thomas G. Hen
dricks. of Eugene, received 400 people
at their home on Friday, January .4. Mr.
!tendrv-ks is widely known throughout
the state as tlbe father of the Univer
sity of Oregon, since it was through his
efforts that t.he school was started.
It was due to his sacrifice of time and
money that the first stock of the Union
of Universities Association was sub
scribed. This, money built the first Uni
versity building on the campus. In
1875 the school was taken over by the
state and Mr. Hendricks was a member
fo the first board of regents.
Hendricks hall, the new women’s dor
mitory, was named in honor of Mr. Hen
dricks and will always stand as a mon
ument to this man who has done so
much for the institution.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks were married
in this city on January 3, I860. In the
receiving line with them last Fri
day stood their daughters, Mrs. II. 8.
Smith and Mrs. Ruby V. Goodrich, both
of Eugene.
A. T. (Ts. IN OLD FIJI HOUSE
Will Stay Until Their Own Home. Dam
aged by Fire, is Repaired.
The members of the Alpha Tan Omega
fraternity are temporarily living in old
I ’hi Gamma Delta houses. Fourteen men
are living in the house and it is thought
that they will remain in their present
home until such time as the other house
is repaired. Work on the building will not
begin until the insurance adjuster has
thoroughly investigated. The men expert
to bo in their new house for three
months at least, blit will return just as
soon as the old house is repaired. They
are getting settled as quickly as possible I
and every man is spending his entire
time getting things in shape. The first
meal will be served Friday morning.
Dick Lyons says they hope to have at
least ten upper classmen back next fall,
including Ray Couch and “Stuffy” Iiur

A special meeting of the faculty will
be held two weeks from Wednesday to
take up tbe duestion of returning to the

as undecided.
PORTER SPEAKS AT Y. W,
Tells Girls of Place In Program of Re
construction.
David R. Porter, national student sec
retary of the Y. M. C. A., addressed a
large meeting of the Y. W. C. A. yester
day at the Bungalow on the subject of
“Woman’s Place in the Reconstruction
Program of the World.”
ITi' emphasized the power and neces
sity of education in the days ahead. Tie
pointed out that the very foundation up
on which society rested crumbled with
the great world war. it is therefore nec
essary to find a new basis. This, he said,
might he done by a process of elimination
but that would take too long and bring
no results.
“No process of golden thought, can
spring from leaden motives,” he quoted
from Edmund Spencer.
“The college is here, we must keep
our standards the highest and be willing
to pay the price. The one thing which
has not been tried and which would re
construct the ideals of the world, is the
application of the principles of Jesus
Christ."
Special music for the meeting was
provided by .Toy Judkins, prayer was of
fered by Miss Tirza Dinsdale, general
secretary, and Helen McDonald had
charge of the meeting.

With the season's opening but two
weeks away. Oregon's hopes for a win
ning basketball team were jarred .con
siderably yesterday when it. was learned
that "l’buck" Comfort, iast year's var
sity center, will be unable to continue
the game The doctor has ordered Com
fort. to stay off the floor because of a
had heart.
"Si” Starr, last year's freshman cen
ter, is also incapacitated on the account
of bad eyes. "Si" has been given a few
more days to play and if his eyes grow
worse foe will he forced to diseont tiuo
the game.
It is rumored that "Varsity" Wilson,
who played guard on last, year's aggre
gation, may he kept from playing be
cause of his heart, which prevented him
from entering the service. However, he
is still to be seen on the floor at his old
job of guard.
Dean Walker, graduate manager and
coach, is shifting his prospects each
night trying to find a winning combina
tion. Much material is making the com
petition great, and from present i rod ac
tions mo one man on the whole floor has
any cinch to make the team. At the
forward positions, Fowler, ]>umo, Ileti
niinger and Medley are battling for po
sitions, while Wilson, Chapman, Bran
don ami Houston are all showing up well
as guards. land and Jaeobbcrger were
the competing centers last night, and if
Starr is not able to play Brandon also
is a possibility. Lind is being used as
a forward.
Several practice games with Multno
mah, Chemawa and Willamette will oc
cupy the coining week-ends until the first
collegiate game of the season is played
with TV. S. C. on January 27 and 28.

Bill, Bulldog, Does
His Bit, to Put Pep
In Faculty Meeting
The faculty meeting yesterday was en
livened as never before in history. There
was a real, old-fashioned, honest-to-gosh
rip-snorting dog fight, which had the
spectators on their toes. Colonel Lead
er's Bill, was the nog in me case, while
Bean Straub was the other participant.
The faculty members supported each in
due turn, but the betting was four to
one in favor of Bill. They were finally
separated, so the report goes, by water
before any real damage was done.
According to the generally accepted
version of the affair. Bill and Bean
Straub were sitting peacefully side by
side. The chairs, however, were built
more for people with the Bean's build,
than that of Bill’s. Suddenly Bill slipped
backwards, and was held suspended half
in mid-air.
t At any rate, tho Bean took mercy on
I Bill in his thrashings, and came to the
rescue. Bill misuticdrstood his kind in
tentions, mistaking them for hostile re
inforcements, and showcfl his resentment
in a material form. Bean Straub never
backs up. so the fight was on. For a
while the room resembled a prize ring,
with Colonel Leader as referee. There
was no red pepper handy, hut, it is said,
they were finally separated.
While the affair was quieted ns much
as possible, it has created quite a furor
around the campus. Bill is said to have
declared that he will not attend another
faculty meeting if Dean Straub is pres
i ent.
Gymnasium Classes Abandon
ed: Sports and Drill is
Substituted.
Combining with the department of
military science, athletics will be requir
ed of all underclassmen. In this manner
it is expected by the athletic department
that, the drill will be made more desir
able for the students when it is mixed
with the athletic work.
Ac orbing to Bonn Walker the ath
letic department is entering into a new
era and will endeavor to make athletics
not only fun but of some benefit to the
men. A physical examination will lie
given every student and corrective gym
nasium work will be prescribed for those
who need it.
The old system of gymnasium classes
will he done away with, in the strict
sense of the word and there will he
more games and competition introduced.
The drill period, it is understood, will
be. in the nfternon from :.'i0 to t:.'10 and
the. athletic work will follow. On, prob
ably, Tuesdays’s and Thursdays the en
tire afternoon will he spent in athletic
work.
Varsity, Freshman and Doughnut bas
ketball will be worked in during the af
ternoon as well as wrestling, swimming
nnd a little inter, track. Varsity basket
ball will be under the direction of Bean
Walker who will take the place of “Bill”
IlaywaVl, in this branch, ns “Bill” will
have his hands full taking the track men
under his wing. Frosh basketball will
he handled by “Shy” Huntington, who
will be in charge of the wrestling classes.
Doughnut basketball will he handled
by “Bill” Hayward, who will probably
referee the contest. Swimming, which
is to be especially required, will be un
der the direction of Dean Walker.
Walker plans to make it one of the re
i :rr'-irerits of the course that no one
will be allowed to pass his last year of
gymnasium work if he cannot swim.
Walker is assuring the prospective
fteshmen and sophomores, who are re
quired to take the .work in the athletic j
department, that the course is not to be i
a “pipe" and that it is being offered to
make the men physically fit.
WILL EXPLAIN URILL
*” The upperclassmen who intend to take
military training this term and nil un
derclassmen will report in front of the
mens’ gymnasium tomorrow afternoon at
P,o’clock. Colonel \Y. II. <Bowen will
issue instructions about this term's work
to the men and will also form-them into
military formation.

May be Museum.
Adelaide Lake*, of Eugene, was elected
editor of the Oregana last evening at the
student council meeting which was held
in the library, at 7 ]>. in. Lay Carlisle,
of The I Valles, was also nominated. Miss
Lake ran against Llsie Fiizinnnriee last
year in the rave for mlitor of Oregana.
and was defeated by but 14 votes.
One of the biggest things that has
ever been taken nb n.v any student <r.«un
eil was suggested last evening by Dean
Walker when lie took lip the proposition!
of having a University history. “At the
present time we have none except t'he
Oregnura awl the Kin era Id, and it is tire
some to run back through several hun
dred copies of the Emerald to find a few
records,” saVl Mr. Walker, “and it is
for that reason that I am making this
suggestion.” Mr. Walker had not worked
out any plan and Dorothy Kleguil was
appointed lo look into (lie matter.
Room Offered for Musaum
M. 11. Douglass, of the library, has
offered room for a University miisetnm,
where records, programs, etc., may be
kept. If the student council sees fit
it may lie that a new student body office
will lie created ami a historian elected
to keep the records each year.
Douglas Mullarky, cliairman, Marian
Coffey and Helen McDonald were ap
pointed on a committee to see about, anew
amendements and the publishing of tile

versify itself.
ItatcrcoUegiute debate suffered a se
rious blow when the student council
adopted its retrenchment program to
discontinue financing all non-supporting
activities last term- it is mow thought
that the eoui'cil should reconsider its
previous program to out all expenses it
as much as college life is once again re
suming its normal tone. A new policy
to take the place of retrenchment wit
he devised at the meeting of the joint!
committee and will be put before the
