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

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,

not return to school this term. Dwight
Parr is the third member of the
council.

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.

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.

Deans in Quandary;
When is I / O'clock
Tonight; They Ask
Both Dean Fox and Dean Straub
are worried. 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

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

social affair which the sophomores
will be allowed to have this quarter.

LLOYD TEGART TO
COACH FOOTBALL
Member of Great 1916 Team Handle*
Washington High Team In
Portland
Lloyd Tegart, formerly end of the
Oregon football team, has been se
lected as coach of the Washington
High school team of Portland. Tegart
takes the place vacated by the re
signation of Professor Leon Strong.
Strong had not been getting the re
sults from the Washington team that
Principal H. H. Herdman thought
should come from the Washington
squad.
Tegart starred at tackle for the
Washington High for four years from
1911 to 1914. He played four years
under Hugo Bezdek, being shifted to
an end. He was a member of the
famous team of 1916 and after leav
ing college he entered tahe Marine
Corps, playing on the Mare Island
team of 1917, which was captained by
his former teammate Johnny Beckett.
Tegart, after receiving his discharge
from the service, returned to the
University and completed his college
course, graduating with the class of
1919.
Oregon followers that knew “Teg’*
during the days that he wore the
Lemon-Yellow will watch closely the
result of his work at the Portland
High school.
