Oregon Emerald vol. 21 OREGON EMERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1919 NO. 10 UK SALARIES RAISED BV REGENTS ABOUT 10 PER CENT New Members and Those Who Got Increase Last Spring Not Included OREGON SCALE JItLD LOW Other Institutions Pay More—Care of Larger Enrollment to be Considered A raise in the salaries of the staff of the University was granted this morning by the board of regents. The raise, which averages ten per cent, varies in some cases, but in the main affects those members of the faculty who did not receive any increase at the meeting of the board last spring. New members of the faculty coming to the University and beginning work this fall will, with the exception of a few cases, be unaffected by the new increase. The raise, according to the state ment of the special committee com posed of Judge J. W. Hamilton and Regents Henry McKinney, and Vernon H. Vawter which investigated the conditions, is made in recognition of the greatly increased cost of living and in conformity with the general upward tendency of salaries in all educational institutions. This in many cases has greatly exceeded the ten per cent increase which tlia board found possible to allow at this time without incurring a deficit. It. was shown that the general scale of salaries at the University of Ore gon is lower than that of other in stitutions of similar standing throughout the country. Building Maintenance Considered The question of buildings and main tenance to care for the greatly in creased enrollment at the University was discussed and referred to a special committee consisting of Re gents W. K. Newell, L. L. Mulit and Charles H. Fisher for report at the regular meeting of the board in January. The president in his report to the board showing increase in enrollment of approximately 60 per cent, and Superintendent J, A. Churchill in discussing probable increase for rext year made the statement that the number of high school graduates next spring is apt to double the number who graduated in the spring of 1919, and that a further very considerable increase in • enrollment may be ex pected a year from this fall. The present total enrollment otn the campus is approximately 1600, and (Continued on page 3) SENIORS OVERRULED BY OREGANA STAFF Activity Writeups to Appear in Year Book According to Old 1 Custom Because old traditions can t be for gotten, Helen Manning, editor of the Oregana, feels it the privilege of the staff to decide the makeup of the senior section of the Oregana. A motion was passed at the last senior class meeting to eliminate senior writeups in the Oregana this year. Following the meeting it was dis covered that many members of the class were opposed to this motion but were reluctant to say so during the meeting for fear it would be thought that they wished to have their own prowess exploited. The staff has decided to run the writeups. In the case of men who have been in the service the period and type of service will be cited as an activity. Each senior should compile his writeup as soon as possible and hand it in to the staff at the Journalism annex. All copy must be in by December 1. Juniors Ride to Jin\s in Old Coach; and Campus Cleaner “Jumping Jupiter, the Junior Jazz Jinks,” shouted a wee freshman, as he scurried out of the way of an onrushing coach. “Holy Smoke, that bars me,” mut tered another, as he saw the Fiji cage careening down the street. Ten minutes later, and the party was on. Dean Straub was among those absent, and all bars were let down. They had to be. It was a wild party. Theda Barers, Brats, Sis Hopkins, Lady Marys; in fact, everyone except September Mourn ers was there. The men’s costumes were of a mixed variety. Everyone was guessing as to what species Sam Lehman represented, while Pix ley and Hoeber were beyond des cription. Then, too, theye were some real enough cowboys, who packed shoot in’ irons and let them off on the slightest provocation. But it only added to the general fun and excite ment. The music was the realization of syncopation; the floor was won derful, and the jinks was a grand success. Leith Abbott and Sam Lehman added a new conveyance to the list of Oregon traditions, when they bor rowed the campus refuse collector. [ A stepladder accompanied the cage. An old coach, originally used by George Washington, intended for four and occupied by eight or ten, was drafted by the Phi Delts. Five or six obliging freshmen served in place of the mules. BANKING COURSE IS ADDED Prof. C. C. Edwards Has Class of 75 in School of Commerce A new course in elementary bank ing under the direction of Prof. Ed monds has been added to the com merce department, according to Dean Walter Morton, head of the depart ment. The object of the class is to teach the students all about funds and their uses, said Mr. Morton, and also to relieve the physics depart ment, which is crowded to over flowing. There are already about 75 en rolled in the class and there will probably be more at the next meet ing on Tuesday morning, Mr. Mor ton says. NEW MEMBERS APPOINTED Vacancies on Athletic Council Filled by Bartlett and Williams Kenneth Bartlett and “Bas” Wil liams have been appointed members of the athletic council of the asso ciated students by Stan Anderson, president of the student body. The new members take the place of Dow Wilson and Henry Fostdr, members elected last spring who did not return to school this term. Dwight Parr is the third member of the council. Wilson and Foster may return to school for the beginning of the sec ond term. Foster is now managing his father’s ranch at John Day, Ore gon, and Wilson is at home in Rufus, Oregon. Washington Enrollment Large The total registration at the Uni versity of Washington this year is 4904 which is an increase of 2514 over that of 1917. This year there are approximately 1,868 first year men and 782 first year women enrolled in the University making a total of 2,651 freshmen alone. • CHALLENGE • • - • • We, members of the sopho- • • more class, challenge the mem- • • bers of the freshman class to • • a game of football to be played • • at the first open date. • SHY WHIPPING SQUAD: INTO SHAPE 10 FIGHT WASHINGTON ELEVEN Varsity Eleven to Play Five Consecutive Games Begin ning Saturday “Rest,” was the command given by Coach Huntington to his squad this morning after a comparatively easy week on the gridiron. Since the Idaho contest, the main factor on the afternon practice program has been signal work and the develop ment of new plays. Several of the main Varsity men have been out of the lineup this week due to injuries and sickness. “Bas” Williams received a wrenched knee in the game against the Van^ dais at Moscow and has been tak ing it easy since that time. “Vince” Jacobberger has been ill but has recovered and will be seen in the backfield again on Monday. Ed Strowbridge, who was kept out of the game last Saturday because of a severe case of poison oak, is another who is ready to resume his duties with the Vasity. Light Scrimmage Held A light scrimmage was indulged in yesterday afternoon. It was the first''of the week, and not so strenuous as the average clash be tween the first and second teams. Several of the regulars were out of the lineup and some of those able to get into the fracas were unable to show their best form because of slight injuries. On Monday the real practice for the University of Washington game is due to begin. Beginning next Sat urday, the Varsity is on the pro gram for a game every week until the conclusion of the season. Four of the five contests are to be played on foreign territory, which makes it especially hard on them. It is doubtful at this time who will be picked from the 18 training table men to start the Washington clash. Captain Brandenburg is still on the “weak” list, f>ut his shoulder has shown a marked improvement over last week. Trainer “Bill” Hay ward has his "rubber’ crew at work in the steam room every evening and some of the kinks are being taken out of sore muscles and sprained joints by the application of steam and liniment. Coach Watching Aggies Coach Huntington and Trainer Hay ward left for Corvallis this morning accompanied by the first squad for the purpose of watching the Aggie Stanford fracas this afternoon. The main purpose in view is to get a line on the collegians for future use. The following men made the trip to Corvallis: Captain Brandenburg, “Spike” and “Brick” Leslie, Art Berg, “Bas” Williams, Hollis Hunt ington, “Skeet” Manerud, “Bill” Steers, Francis and Vincent Jacob berger, Mart Howard, “Nish” Chap man, Ed Strowbridge, Stan Ander son, A1 Harding. Assistant Coach Spellman and Ken Bartlett are in Seattle today looking over Coach “Jump” Hunt’s eleven, which is to form the opposition next week at Seattle. MEMORIAL DRIVE PUSHED Students in Public Speaking .Will Help Roosevelt Campaign According to Professor R. W. Pres cott, instructor in public speaking. Eugene and ell surronding territory is to be thoroughly combed for the Roosevelt memorial fund, the drive for which is tc begin next week. The University sent Ralph Hoeber and Remey Ccx out to the city high school this morning to address the assembly in behalf of the drive. Tonight Carlton Spencer, registrar, will impress on the populace of Creswell the importance and the honor of pari.i''.:paling in this work SENTIMENT GROWS TOR ORGANIZATION OF ROOSEVELT CEOB Society Would Promote Ideals of Great American; Funds Come in for Memorial With the Roosevelt memorial fund drive nearing completion, sentiment on the campus seems to be gradu ally shaping itself toward the forma tion of a more lasting memorial, so far as the university is concerned, in the form of a Roosevelt club or society. The idea gained added im petus on Thursday with President Campbell’s announcement in assem bly of the recent action of New York university in forming a Roosevelt club, with the ultimate purpose of combining with similar clubs to form a Roosevelt league or association. In an interview last night Herman Lind, chairman of the committee conducting the memorial fund drive on the campus, said the idea of a Roosevelt club formed along lines similar to those adopted by New York university met with his ap proval. Dean Allen in an informal discussion of the uplaneakdrr ,vetliel discussion of the plan remarked that such a movement appealed to him as a very fitting manner for Roosevelt admirers among college men and women to commemorate the former president. Student Council May Act “The student council did not take up the discussion of the formation of a Roosevelt club at the meeting on Wednesday night,” said Stanford Anderson yesterday, but he added that there was at possibility of it coming up later. “Its objects,” sets forth the tele gram received by President Camp bell from the Roosevelt Memorial association, announcing the forma tion of a Roosevelt club in New York university, “are to be primarily the nonpartisan discussion of the economic, social and spiritual topics of American life. Of this organiza tion, Roosevelt’s life shall be the inspiration.” The telegram puts the association on record as “looking forward to the founding of similar clubs which may in the end be unit ed in a league of true Americanism.” The memorial association pledges it self in the forming of such clubs or societies. Drive Meets Success “I cannot say at this time,” said Herman Lind last night, “Just how much money has been raised so far in the campaign,” He reported, how ever that the drive was meeting with an appreciable display or interest oa the part of the students and that very probably a majority have already given to the cause. “The donations from individual students have not been large,” he said. “The object of the campaign has not been to raise a large sum, but rather to give each one a chance to help as he feels inclined.” The drive closes Monday, he added, and hoped that everybody who wished to contribute would have his money in by that time. The funds raised gc direct to the Roosevelt memorial headquarters. BULLETIN Stanford defeats O. A.

Moreover, they are puzzled. And they are in a quan dary. For the first time in his long career in the University, the dean of men is not sure of his position. How does that come about? It is about tonight’s dates. What time do they end? Ordinarily of course, they end at 11 o’clock. But the question now is, when is 11 o’clock. Tonight is the night that the clocks of the nation go backwards one hour. In other wards, when 11 o’clock comes around it will really be only 10 o’clock, most of the clocks will already have been turned back, and the students will have another hour of liberty. But the question is still further complicated. When is 11 o'clock? Is 11 o’clock 10 o’clock or midnight? And if so, why? And whichever is 11 o’clock, when do dates end? No wonder that both deans are worried. They are said to have called into conference Professor E. IT. McAlister, authority on astronomy an hence, on time; Professor DeCou, mathematician, and Dean Morton, ex ponent extraordinary of good times. But nothing has come out of it. And the deans are still puzzled, and the students rejoice. But, not only is there the possible extension of dates for tonight—there is also the added hour of slumber, longed for by the multitude. If there were only classes tomorrow the whole college could be one hour late for their first class. And those dining rooms which far merly closed doors at 8 o’clock, would have to remain open for another hour. Verily, the legislators at Wash ington have created greaf. things. Whenever you do It, don’t forget to turn your watches and clocks back one hour tonight. For It Is so decreed. SOPH’S JAZZ INFORMAL Second Year Men to Challenge Froeh for Football Game The sophomore dance to be held December 5 will be Informal. Such was the final decision of the class at a meeting last evening In VUlard hall. It was the original Intention to make it a formal affair, but Dean Straub was opposed to this and the boys of the class strenuously ob jected because of tiller Inability to procure dress suits. This is the only social affair which the sophomores will be allowed to have this quarter. It was decided that the second-year men would challenge the Frosh to a football game. They will also chal lenge the winner of the junior-senior contest. Sydney Hayslip was elect ed manager and the team will be chosen soon. Twenty-five dollars was voted to be given toward the fund for the rally before the O.A.C.-Oregon game. A picture of the sophomore class will be taken for the Oregana next Thursday at the assembly hour In front of Villard, it was announced. MASONIC CLUB FORMED Prof. F. S. Dunn, Temporary Chair man, Newton Baker, Secretary. A meeting was held in the office of Dean Straub Thursday evening for the purpose of organizing a Masonic club on the campus. Prof. F. S. Dunn was elected temporary chairman, and Newton Bader, secretary. A com mittee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the new organization. The next meeting will be held in Dean Straub’s office next Tuesday | evening so that all arrangements may be made at once for the formation of a permanent organization. The attendance of all Masons at the next meeting is urged.
