THE IRON WOMAN
Oregon students regret keenly the
stealing of the “Iron Woman” from
the campus of Oregon Agriculture
college and the suspicion that it has
thrown on us as breakers of a pact
made between the two Institutions
two years ago.
The statue was taken from the
campus without the knowledge of the
University of Oregon students. The
action was in no way sanctioned by
the students at. large ami in fact but
a very few knew of the matter until
today. But one University man—
an underclass man -was implicated
in the affair and lie will bo called
Upon to appear before the student
council to make amends for his act.
The outrage was committed by high
school students who probably did not
realize how much harm they were
doing by the rash deed.
With tlio luimuil football game be
tween our eleven unil 0. A. t'. rapidly
drawing near rivalry will naturally
grow more intense. We must mani
fest our spirit in a square, open, man
to-nian manner and not resort to
sneaking, underhand methods of j
blowing off excess pep. Such things j
as besmirching the buildings and the
Aggie euiupus with paint or other
Stunts of rowdyism cannot and will
not bo condoned by the associated
students. On the oilier band, the
Aggie students will play fair and
our eanipus and "O" will not be
molested.
We want and must have all the
spirit in thi> world but let us manifest
it l»> attending rooting and veil prac
tices, practicing rooting stunts, or
ganizlng a baud and preparing to
out,root the Aggie men when they
come over November 15.
THE RED CROSS
The American Red Cross will hold
its Third Red Cross Roll ('all for
the enrollment of annual members at1
the Ruminal membership fee of one
dollar, during the period beginning
tomorrow, November and ending
Tuesday, November 11, Armistice
Day.
The war fund drives' of the Red
Cross for large sums of money for
foreign relief are entirely a thing of
the past, and the coming Roll Call
is simply the annual opportunity af
forded to every citizen of the TTnited
States to express his belief in the
ideals of the Red Cross and his sup
port of its work by enrolling as an
annual member.
To all patriotic and public spirited
citizens the necessity for maintain
ing a nationwide community organ
ization of the American Red Cross is
self-evident.
Among the reasons why this must
be done, the following stand out with
special force:
The war time work of the American
Red Cross is not yet fully com
pleted.
The American Red Cross is the
disaster relief agent of the Ameri
can people.
In case of epidemic complete or
ganization of the Red Cross is in
dispensable.
The peace time program of the Red
Cross is the preservation and Im
provement of the public health.
The new worldwide Red Cross
movement has its inspiration from
America.
Corvallis is so confident ot the
Oregon game that even the prize
roosters are getting cocky.

cowhide, but when It comes to pig
ikin we will show them November 15.

The football men get dirty
In their tussles with the subs,
And now you know the reason
They always have the scrubs.

Some said he did the sliimmie
Hut 1 will now declare,
The thing that made him dance that
way
Was fleece-lined underwear.

Housework is an awful bore,
Said tlie fresh who held the broom,
lie cast a saddened eye about,
And in one glance swept the room.

I am a well known athlete,
I run a pretty race,
i run a mile In record time
Around the fireplace.

Remember, noble seniors,
(With tliis we'll call a halt)

Is like soup without the salt.

Senior Moustaches
Not Only Ones That
Are Causing Worry
Not the seniors alone are worried
about the question of moustaches
these days. The spirit has invaded
the faculty and two of the most pro
minent professors are involved. The
conspicuous ones are Dean Allen, of
the school of journalism, and Doctor
Bovard, professor of zoology. Their
woes are many, but their cases are
different.
During the summer months Dear.
Allen nourished, cared for and flu
ally unveiled a small moustache.
Someone told him he looked younger
with it. But when the students came
back and the change was apparent,
lamentations were heard, especially
among the co-eds. For they said
that they wanted the dean to be
smooth-shaven.
There were, however, one or two
supporters who stood behind the
dean and in front of his moustache.
They were the few that held the
balance of power, those who said
that possession was nine-tenths of the
law, and that Dean Allen possessed
the moustache. But during the last
week opposing sentiment has been
gaining. The matter was broached
at a meeting of Theta Sigma Phi,
and it is rumored that a committee
of ladies was appointed to work up
a crusade against the moustache.
It is also claimed that the matter
was slated for discussion at the last
meeting of Sigma Delta Chi but had
to be avoided because of the press
of other business. The dean him
self was at the meeting. If the
various committees and press notices
fail a petition may be circulated.
With Doctor Bovard exactly the
opposite is true. The doctor has been
wearing a moustache, off and on, for
years. According to well-accepted
reports, he would appear at class one
morning with it and the next morn
ing, without. How he accomplished
it is a zoological secret. But for the
last few weeks, with amazing regu
larity, he has been without the mous
tache, and his pupils are missing it.
Now they want it back and back to
stay. They, especially the co-eds.
say that he looks younger with it.
It is believed that as soon as Doctor
Bovard finds out the general trend
of public opinion he will act- ac
cordingly.

The “Constitution” of To-day—Electrically Propelled
THE U. S. S. “New Mexico,” the first
battleship of any nation to be electri
cally propelled, is one of the most important
achievements of the scientific age. She not
only develops the maximum power and,
with electrical control, has greater flexibility
of maneuver, which is a
distinct naval advantage,
but also gives greater econ
omy. At 10 knots, her
normal cruising speed, she
will steam on less fuel than
the best turbine-driven ship
that preceded her.
The electric generating
plant, totaling 28,000 horse
puwei, ana me propulsion equipment oi tne
great super-dreadnaught were built by the
General Electric Company. Their operation
has demonstrated the superiority cf electric
propulsion over old-time methods and a
wider application of this principle in the
merchant marine is fast making progress.
Six auxiliary General Electric Turbine-Gen
erators of 400 horsepower each, supply
power for nearly 500 motors, driving pumps,
fans, shop machinery, and kitchen and laun
dry appliances, etc. ■"

Interesting Book Suggested
A book that is highly recommended
for all men working their way
through college, according to the
Maryland State Review, of Maryland
State college, is “Through College on
Nothing a Year,” by Guass. This is
the work of a Princeton student who
presents his actual experiences in ob
taining a college degree.
