Nasty Lies About University
Cost Defendant His
Liberty.
PAROLE IS PROMISED HIM
ON HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR
Prisoner to Serve Thirty Days
First; not to Resume
Publishing.
James Fullerton, convicted by a jury
in circuit court of publishing libelous
statements about the University of Ore
gon, was sentenced by Judge Skip-worth
this morning to serve one year in the
Lane county jail. This is the maximum
sentence under the law for the single
count on which he was tried. In passing
sentence, the court took cognizance of
the jury’s recommendation for leniency
owing to the age of the defendant, and
announced that the prisoner would be
released on parole after 30 days. Pending
good behavior he will then be allowed to
remain at liberty.
H. F. Slattery, counsel for Fullerton,
in addressing the court, asked the mini
mum sentence of a $3 or $10 fine. Dis
trict Attorney L. L. Hay's recommenda
tion for the sentence was EubffK'tlially
followed by the court.
Questioned by Judge Skipworth as to
whether he would resume publication of
the medium in which the criminally ob
jectionable articles appeared, Fullerton
answered no.
t While the jury was out four hours be
fore bringing in its verdict, it was stated
by one of its members that only one bal
lot was taken and that the time was
spent in discussing the matter of leni
ency.
During the trial Fullerton failed to
bring a single detail to substantiate his
charges of immorality at the University.
On the other hand, the University’s
showing of clean moral conditions and
competent supervision was thorough and
complete.
PUPS ON CASUALTY LIST
Belgian Hare Goes Calling; Battle En
sues; Dogs’ Owner Sues.
A kennel of prize pups and a Belgian
hare caused a lawsuit. The plaintiff had
a kennel of puppies which he valued high
ly and he kept them in a wire coop in the
back yard. His nexifcloor neighbor had a
large Belgian hare which was also sur
rounded by chicken wire. The hare is
tame and gentle, so far as known, and
the wire fence is supposed to be very
strong.
The defendant didn’t know the habits
of the hare apparently as he never once
thought he could burrow under the wire.
The rabbit was on to his job. however,
so he went calling on the pups. lie wasn’t
well received and was much offended. A
battle followed with three pups on the
casualty list—killed in action. The
others were “bitten and clawed se
verely.” The owner of the puppies sued
to recover their loss.
The case will be tried March 11 at
the Moot court before Chief Justice .T.
B. Pfouts. The attorney for the plaitniff
will be H. R. Decker. Lyle McCroskey
will plead the case for the defendant. 31.
K. ITolland will serve as clerk of the
rourt.

The prize, a long kewpie, went to a
small, ehubby-kneed 'boy, whose wistful
smile won the hearts of the judges. Miss
Gertrude Talbot and Mrs. F. Stillman
The walls of the rooms were hung with
bright colored Indian blankets, or dip
lomatically speaking, rugs, and as the
gay throng bumped and jostled about,
Dean Straub looked on from the pat
rons row, hoping the young people were
having a good time, while Dean Ehr

Jimmy with an anxious eye ns he as
sured the young men and women that
they certainly were angels if they did
insist upon devouring all day suckefrs,
home-made specially to order at the
Rainbow, donated by Miss Talbot.
At times the world seemed topsy tnr
vy, especially when president Maguire
appeared "a la coy vamp” and the cock
showed up in a full dress suit, while
even General iPershing and wife lent
their famous presences to the occasion
and “majur-bed.” alias Bo Bowen, flirt
ed with the good-looking girls.
The guests had their eyes opened when
the honorable Alexanders presented a
feature and were moved to such enthu
siasm that, led by Bed Sutton, alias
Johnny Huston, the festivities of the ev
ening reached a climax in a beautiful
serpentine and “O-O-Orego-on.”
Over $6.00 was raised at the dance.
This sum, according to Alys Sutton, will
be put in the bank as a nucleus for the
fund to be raised at Hendricks hall for

7 TEAMS SURVIVE
OF DEBATE SERIES
Oregon Club, Hendricks Hall, Pi
Phi, Beta, Sigma l\iu. Phi
Delt Winners.
Oregon Club, Pi Beta Phi and Hen
dricks Hall were the high point win
ners for the women and due to their
tie score. Beta Theta Pi. Sigma Xu,
Oreogn Club and Phi Pelta Theta sur
vived in the men's league at the sec
ond round of doughnut debates which
were held on the campus Thursday
evening.
Following the debates, members of
the winning house teams met and de
cided to have the next series of intra
mural debates on Tuesday evening.
March 31 at 7:80 o'clock. The women
i decided tv use the same question as
was debated Thursday evening: "Re
solved, That an embittered Germany
1 would be more dangerous inside the
Reague of Nations than outside." The
i men are going to debate on the ques
tion which they used at the first round
1—"Resolved, That the Allies should not
Admit Germany to their league of na
tions until Germany shall have made
restitution and reparation as provided
in the terms of peace.”
Four Tennis Tie.
According to the elimination plan
accepted by the house representatives
when the men and women's leagues
were organized, there were to be only
three survivers following the second
round of debates. The results of last
night's competition in which Beta The.
ta Pi made a total of E points; Sigma
Nhu, 4 pounts; Phi Delta Theta, 4
points, and Oregon Club, 4 points, dis
■rupted the pre-arranged system of
counting. A suggestion was made
that the points won in the first round
oe included in the totals i.r each of
the 4 houses in order that one might
be eliminated. This was found to be
an inadequate remedy in as much as
it gave two of the houses S points and
' the other two houses 11. As the prop

dial Hospital.
Carin H. Degermark who graduated
from the University in 1913 and enlisted
in the army medical corps as a recon
struction aide in physiotherapy in Octo
ber of 1918, writes to Emma Wootton
Hall, secretary of military affairs at the
University, from the remedial hospital in
Boston that, “wearing a three-button
miltary collar is rather a painful experi
ence after the fashions of women that
have b°en in vogue of late. Her letter in
answer to the questionnaire sent her
by Mrs. Hall follows in part:
“I find life quite satisfying. The
wounded men with whom we work are so
cheerful and gay, so eager for any help
that will restore them to normal life and
so grateful for what little we do that we
enjoy our work. The one outstanding
characteristic of Uncle Sam’s army that
has impressed itself on me again and
again is that for all their valor and fine
soldiery, they are a group of boys grown
ttli »nd with their gayety and pranks

Men Can Make No
Dates on Campus,
Night of April 12
It's nlnu'st April Frolic time again,
the time when the women forget about
the men entirely for one campus event
and go and come from the gym unescort
ed except perhaps by a mannish-looking
sister in cavaliers costume or a Spanish
desperado armed to the death with cruel
and rust.v-looking instruments.
The Frolic is going to be all that the
name implies and more, the committee
says, its going to surpass any Frolic
ever held, its going to be great! Any
way, the committee seems awfully enthu
siastic about it and where there is so
much smoke there must, he a little fire
at. least.
Incentives are to he offered in the
form of cash prizes of $5 and $3 each
in order that the girls may strive even
to surpass the usual run of clever cos
tumes. Then too, there will be honorable
mention by the judges for costumes
which are particularly good and a silver
cup for the organization which puts on
the best stunt.
These stunts are going to be limited to
twelve minutes in length and if one can
judge by previous years, there are going
to be some very attractive little skits
put on. The order of these miniature
performances will he, Delta Gamma,
Delta Delta Delta, Futaxian, Gamma Phi,
HetR, Hendricks hall. Kappa Alpha The
ta. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi,
Y. W. A. and faculty women.
All faculty women are invited to he
patronesses of the affair and are asked
to appear in costume.
To participate and have a lot of fun
costs only ten cents and gives every one
a chance to win the prizes.

peal recently made by Miss Itrenda
Frnncldyn, representative for the Re
lief Committee of Devastated France,
when she spoke at the school assembly
urging everyone to contribute some as
sistance to those lit tie war orphans of
France. One renson for this excellent re
sponse was due to the fact that nearly
70 of the students had just written to
pupils of like ago in four seliools in
southern France, beginning a corre
spondence of great interest to all.
The support, of four of the orphans
has been assumed by the roll room organ

half a year; room 2. supporting two for
a year, and room 12, supporting one for
