PRESENTATION OF STATE
CASE NEAR END TODAY
Charge That Immorality is
Rampant at Oregon Is
Basis of Indictment.
The trial of James Fullerton for
criminal libel against the University of
Oregon, the students of the University
and against President P. L. Camp
bell, progressed this afternoon with
the examining of witnesses for the
prosecution showing in examination and
cross examination that witnesses called
by the state believe conditions to be es
pecially good on the Oregon campus.
The testimony of faculty members,
house chaperones and representative
students was all to the effect that T ni
versity conditions are closely super
vised and that the statements made by
Fullerton were unfounded. In testi
mony given this morning Dean Mor
ton was prevented in making a detailed
comparison of conditions on this cam
pus with others he was acquainted with
by order of Judge Skipwortli.
Witnesses called late tins afternoon
were Douglas Mullarky, of Bend, edi
tor of the Emerald ; Mrs- Johnson, Kap
pa Alpha Theta: Miss Doscli, Kappa
Kappa Gamin;}; Mrs. Benson', Pi Bet

versity; Miss Tirza Dinsdale; Miss
Dorothy Flegal and Colonel W. II. C.
I.’owen.
President Campbell Testifies.
President Campbell was the first wit
ness this morning, continuing his testi- j
mony of yesterday. He testified as to the
“whale incident” which the prosecution
maintains was the original cause of Ful
lerton’s alleged malice against the Uni
versity. which refused four or five years
ago to accept a large and malodorous
marine skeleton Fullerton had brought
from Florence and wanted the University
to set up on the campus for use as the
frame of a tea house. The president also
instanced various unsuccessful attempts
by Fullerton to obtain a commission from
the Fniversity ns biological collector.
The president also , while on the stand,
resented warmly what he referred to as
the defense’s aspersions on a former head
of the women's physical department of
the University.
Dean Morton told of two instances of
discipline of men students in which two
men students had been made to leave the
University. He testified that the Univer
sity never failed to investigate even the
vaguest Tumor, that real misdeeds were
extraordinarily few. were never condon
ed and that no case had involved any Uni
versity woman.
Doan Straub On Stand.
Doan Jobn Straub, dean of men, pave
testimnnv covering tlie whole period since
1S7S. The University pirl in its entire his
tory has oyer "gone to the bad,” he
said, which he maintained was a surpris
ingly clean record considering the large
number of students. Of drunkenness
there had not been a single disciplinary
case in ten years. Students were well
protected and were so housed and lived
under sneh associations that irregularities
such as charged in the "Hornet’ could*
not occur with impunity.
R. S. Bryson, county clerk, who has
just finished a six-year course as city
recorder, testified that the trouble given
the city authorities by students was neg
ligible. He could only remember four
The most serious one involved an offi
cer’s training camp man and not a stu
dent. Xo University women had even
been involved.
Ex-Sheriff D. A. Elkins gave much the
same testimony. He was also asked if he
had ever received complaints of conduct
on the mill race and had investigated
them. II> said ho had and no students had

Faculty Requested
to Exercise Both for
Looks and Disposition
Tlie latest facility bulletin, issues a
touching plea, for sweetening of facul
ty men’s dispositions and increase of the
good looks of the male part ot the teach
ing staff. The appeal is made in con
nection with an effort to get the mem
bers out for the physical exercise class
es on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days.
Exceptions ore made in the case of
those faculty members who milk cows,
as Dr. Schafer used to do; cultivate tur
nips, a la Dr. Clorau, swing a golf club
in t)he manner of Mr. Tiffany or raise
cane like—names deleted. But read the
appeal. Perhaps the sweetened dispo
sitions may be reflected in various ways
j a round examination time- The students
lem't know about that; but if the faculty
men’s gym class will have that effect,
they’re for it. Following is the text
of the appeal:
“If is hoped that no member of the
faculty will perpetuate himself in poor
physical condition, and hence in doubt
ful working efficiency, by continued re
fusal to avail himself of opportunities
for helpful 'recreation and exercise. These
opportunities at least are fairly good.
We now have a faculty gym, with op
portunities for handball and tennis at
any hour < f the day, and for volley ball,
push ball and calisthenic work Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:30 p. in.
Twelve or fifteen members of the fac
ulty are taking care of their health in
this manner. They. are thus increasing
their efficiency, to say nothing of im
proving their already good looks and
their dispositions.
“Not any man of the faculty, unless
he is already taking some other good
health program—such as sawing wood,
incubating chickens, swinging a golf club,
milking cows, cultivating turnips or ras
ing cane—can afford not to grasp the
opportunity which has been made for
him by the board of regents, made at
cost. THINK IT OVEiR.”
BEMHTS HOURS
TO THREE STUDEfUTS
Arthur Weatherherd Has First
Place; Ellis and Johns
ton Honorable Mention.
Arthur C. Weatherehad, n junior, has
received first mention placed and Loren
J. Ellis, also a junior, and Hollis John
son. honorable mention for work sent in
to the last competitive exhibition of the
Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New
York City. All three are students in the
Schoo lof Architecture.
First mention placed is the highest
honor given by the Beaux-Arts and this
is the second time it lias beeu received by
any students in the University. The work
sent in by Mr. Weatherhead was the de
sign of an exedra, a garden pavilion. The
designs of the other two were plans for
an athletic center for industrial towns.
The work submitted to the Beaux-Arts
is judged by juries made up of archi
tects in New York City. Work is sent in
every six or seven weeks upon receipt
of the problem which the institute sends
out to schools all over the country. The
students are now working on another
problem to be submitted next week.

•Tust at present there is a movement
on foot to have the survivors of this
debate compete again the next evening.
Friday, on the same question and in this
way wind up the debate work for the
term. By having the third elimination
now. nothing would be held over for next
term, save the all important debate be
tween the victorious men’s team and that
of the women which is to be held at an
assembly hour. Helen Brenton, head of
women's debate on the campus, has de
cided to put this matter up to the sur

done.

GOV, ME.
OF OREGON, IS DEAG
Pioneer of State and Friend of
Education; Successor is
Ben W. Aicott.
The flag over tho administration build
ing of tho University is at half mast to
day- Governor James AA’ithyoombe, chief
! executive of the state oif Oregon and ex
officio member of the board of regouts,
died at his home iti Salem onu Monday
evening.
Governor AYitihyco<mibc’s dentil was d>uie
to a general breakdown brought about by
overwork. His last day was spent in
examining some of the hills passed by
the recently-adjourned Session of the
legislature.
The office of governor is now filled,
under the constitutional provision, by Iten
\\'. Olcott, secretary of state, who also
retains his former office. This repeats
the situation of nine years ago when
Oswald A*' sit succeeded Governor Frank
AAr. ltenson. i |
Governor AVit'hywunbe, recognized ns
a firm friend of education, was a former
.director of the experiment station at the
Oregon Agricultural College. lie was
n native of Engla/nd, G-t years old. and
had been a resident of Oregon since
1ST1- He visited the University and
addressed tho student battalion in the
spri/cg of 1017.
President of Willamette will
Discuss Kultur; Served
in France.
Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of
Willamette University will speak on
“German ICultnr vs. American Civiliza
tion” at Assembly in Villard Hall
Wednesday morning, according to an
announcement made by the President's
office today.
Dr. Doney spent about six months in
Prance doing work for the war coun
cil under the auspices of the V. M. C.
A. He returned to the United States
I some time in the late summer of lint;
and has resumed his work at Willamet
te University.
Dr. Done.v's address Wednesday will
probably be based on his personal ex
periences and observations while in
France. His talk is interesting, accord
ing to the report from the President's
office and considered well worth hear
ing.

containing paper lighted by flint on steel
which are still used in some parts of
China; brass bowls, necklaces of Chinese
officials indicating the emblems of their
rank, made of peaeh stones and smaller

Among the miscellaneous articles are
Chinese embroideries. Japanese articles

Considering Offer to Enter
Service as Y. W. C. A.
Secretary.
M.so Tirza Hinsdale, local V. W. A.
secretary, returned to the campus last,
night from the .national V. W. C. A
conference at Evanston, Illinois. She
was accompanied by Essie Maguire, who
represented the students at the assem
bly. Miss Dinsdnte received while in
Illinois an offer to go to France as an
association secretary, and although very
few arrangements have been made as
yet she is hoping to accept the offer.
“1 should count it as a rare priwlcge
to be able to go,” she says, "and am
hoping to make plans toward that end.
However, there is a great' deal of red
tape to go through, uuxl meetings of the
local cabinet and advisory board will have
to be held to discuss my release here."
Miss Hinsdale made some arrange
ments for her pnssiport while in Port
land on her way home, but the red tape
will consume about three or four weeks,
1 she thinks. She says that, a message
came to the conference to send secre
taries ov*'r to France as fast, as possi
ble, as they were needed very much.
Forty-Three States Represented
(The conference held at Evanston was
attended by about 100 persons. Miss
Hinsdale said, including students, fac
ulty, deans of women and association
secretnrins. forty-three states were
iepresented, most of them sending a fac
ulty member or secretary and a student.
The first meeting from tiie 15th to the
10th of February was for the secreta
rial staff, association secretaries from
all over the country. 'The second part
of the convention, from the 10th to the
2,'1'rd of February, was a joint conference
of these people with tint students from
all the colleges and institutions.
"The central thought of -ill the con
ference to my mind,” said Miss Hins
dale, “was that of leadership. 1l was
emphasized Unit we are at this time in
a new and changing world tend in order
not to make the mistakes in this recon
struction period that have been made
both in this country and elsewhere ia
other times, the most necessary thing
is adecjiuate leadership; leadership with
vision; and leadership that is Christian.
If the students do not get this vision,
the leadership will not come from them
but from the world at large and from
industry.”
"We were given a ldrdseye view of
the conditions in several countries by
very able speakers who have been in
work in those places- Those who told
of France and the orient were especial
ly interesting.”
Along with those interesting experi
ences a new idea was instituted at thi ,
conference in the shape of discussion
groups. The afternoons were given over
tij, discussion <vf student campus prob
lems both by the students themselves
and lay the staffs anal faculty representa
tives, each body reporting their find
* nt tile end of the conference and
the coUii/iti-.-ii reports were sent to the
conference of deans of women which met
immediately after the V. W. <A. con
vention in Chicago.
Tile students’ discussions were led by
students -n small groups of fifteen and
twenty each. There were two north
| western girls heosen to lead these, said
Miss Dinsdale, aim 1 lassie Maguire was
one of these. Miss Hinsdale spoke very
highly of the way Miss Maguire con
ducted her disciw.sion groups and tire fa
vorable comment she received from the
girls themselves. These findings will
constitute the basis for future student
work kii the Y. W. C3. A.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
Work Shown by Varsity Team
Promises Good Returns
From South.
'I lu- Iniversity of Oregon basketball
team accompanied by Dean II. Walker,
conch, left Kngene hist night for Ttcrkc
. Icy, California, where they will meet the
T’niversity of California in a series of
three basketball games for the cham
pionship of tlu> Pacific coast. According
to telegraphic arrangements concluded
this morning between !!. P. Watson, ex
ecutive secretary of the Associated Stu
dents of California, and T>ean Walker,
the two teams will meet on Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday evenings .
Stanford also would like to meet the
Oregon team while they are in the south
| but it is hnrdl,\ possible that this game
I can he worked in as it would make four
games on ns many nights. The members
of the team are inclined to think that
would he just a little too much festivity
after the journey on the train.
The California team appears to he a
fairly strong aggregation, having beaten
about everyone worth while in the south,
Oregon lias an even chance to win and
they enn lie depended upon to give a
great fight. The custom of the olden days
at Oregon of sending telegrams of en
couragement to the team on tin* nights
of the game should he reinstated, and the
organizations on the campus should show
| the fellows on the team that they are
behind them.
Wins Right to Play.
Oregon won the right to play Califor
nia by defeating the O. A. C. team here
Saturday afternoon !>v the score of 28
to 2d. The second gnu.c was much closer
than that of the previous night, and at
one stage was too cVse for the absolute
comfort of Oregon Imckcrs.
Oregon’s five played a good game Sat
urday, and they were met by the united
determination of the Aggie quintet to
win the game. Coach ITargiss lost his one
big chance to win over Oregon when he
started Arthur at forward instead of
I Kincaid. Kinsnid played a great gam >
during the time be was i:i Saturday and
scored II points which gave him second
plate for the day. On throwing fouls he
had about anything heat that lias appear
ed here this season, getting five out of
five and every one clean.
The entire Oregon team went well in
tlie last game with the Aggies, and if
they can k"cp up their good work there
iR no reason hut to believe that they will
he able to win from California.
Gamos to Bo Hard.
The three games in the south will
probably lie the hardest that the varsity
has played yet this season as they will
he on a strange floor, end the Oregon
men will have the r-nwd . gainst them.
Ttefore leaving Walker made no specula
tions as to the outcome of the series as
he has had no very definite way in which
to get a line on the ability of the Cali
fornia team.
