Not only is this one of the most colossal things ever attempted by University students, but it is also one of the best opportunities ever of fered to the Oregon men and women to do something which will have a lasting effect on the progress of the University, The Women’s building now just started on the campus can not bo completed until more funds aro in evidence. The state appro priated $100,000 for the building with the pledge of the University that it would# produce the other $100,000 ne cessary for the completeion of the structure by popular subscription. There are Individuals, clubs and or ganizations in the state who have worked unceasingly to raise the $100, 000 for the past year. Seventy thous and dollars of this amount has been pledged. There Is yet $110,00 to be raised and the people who have been working for the fund are worn thread bare, have gone almost as far as It Is possible for human endeavor to go unaided. It Is now up to the Univer sity students to get behind the drive and carry it through to a finish. It restswlth them whether or not the! magnificent building now started will j become a reality or a mere founda tion—a liauntv spectre to wasted hopes, caused by a student body clothed In lethargy. As men and women with intellect i ami foresight we should look at this movement to raise the remaining funds with a broad scope of vision on the University's future. We need buildings, many of them. Every de partment of the University is ham pered by a lack of room and equip ment. We must interest the people of the state in our needful condition. Uy carrying on a concerted action in every district of the state during the holidays seeking for funds with which to finish the structure our condition and need tor buildings will be well advertised from one corner of the state to the other. As a result endea vor to receive aid for more buildings will be more heeded. Latest Wrinkle in Jazz is Promised ^ Sophs to Spring it Friday Night i Where did jazz originate? Ask the sophomores. If you can’t believe them, just look at the sophomore dance Friday and prepare to change j your opinion. • The arrangements, according to 1 Carl Newbury, chairman^ of the committee, are complete with one exception, and “she’s up to you.'’ Students are warned to leave their “soup anti fish” at home for the plans have been changed from a formal to an informal affair and dress suits are taboo. Decorations that will make Dame Nature look like a hungry artist are to grace the armory. Bill Bol ger, chairman of the decoration com mittee, is preparing to spring a com bination of color that will dispel the worst case of blues on the campus. C. B. Kratz, a local decorator, has been engaged to undertake the work. Bolger promises that the armory will bloom forth in green and yellow and the soph colors, green and white. A monster lemon-yellow block “O” with a green background bearing a w'hite 1922 is part of the decorative plan. And the feature? That’s what’s got ’em! Howard Staub, who is en gineering this end of the program, is imitating the silence of an oyster with the result that nobody knows just what is going to happen. Ru mor has it that the Pasadena game is to be touched upon- The feature is awaiting the approval of the' fac ulty. Programs are going to resemble the decorations—lemon-yellow “O’s” with green background bearing a white embossed 1922. The best music possible has been engaged, and with the punch bowl overflow ing, the sophs are awaiting the stroke of the hour to play hosts to the entire university. VARSITY IS GET GOOD MATERIAL NEXT W Successful Season Ends; Hill, Shields, King, Holmes, Are 1920 Prospects The freshman football team has ended a short but successful season under the direction of Robert (“Bob'1) Murray. “Bob” Murray took hold of the team late in the season, but he succeeded in developing a fast i snappy team. There has been worlds of good material out for the frosh team this year, but the team was handicapped by a poor start, and the lack of games. The season has not been so successful so far as victories are concerned, but it has developed considerable material for the var sity. It is difficult to pick any out standing star from the freshman team, because there is no one whose playing entitled him to a pedestal. However, the ability of “Frankie” Hill as a ground gainer and open field runner should put him in the running for the varsity team. Hill’s main hindrance is his light weight. He weighs 155, but is a whirlwind when carrying the ball. King Good in M. A. A. C. Game. George King, one of the backfield performers, looked ’good against Multnomah in the game last Thurs day. lie was substituted in the third quarter, and did some very good I work. “Duckie" Holmes, who generated the frosh team, showed promise in action this year. “Duckie” is fast for a man who weighs 174 pounds. If Holmes tries out for quarter next year, he will have formidable com petition in “Skeet” Manerud, but it seems likely that he will be shifted to another backfield position. Speed combined with weight makes Holmes one of the likeliest looking young sters of the first year contingent. The Shields brothers, the battle ship twins of the freshman outfit, 1 are going to be strong contenders for future varsity place. “Tiny” Shields registers 190, and the big surprise is that he is one of the fast est men on the frosh squad. Floyd Shields rates high among the com ; ing varsity aspirants. Brown Will Attract Notice. • With both Bartlett and Leslie gone from next year’s lineup Hugh Clerin, a husky of considerable ability, will have a favorable chance to handle one of the tackle positions. “Bud” Brown, who carries around 178 pounds of bulkiness, is bound to attract notice among the 1920 pros pects. Mtthew Duffy played end part of the season this year, but is some what of a darkhorse. He is a product of Murray, The Dalles, and showed a good knowledge of the game while in action. Charles Robinson, a husky lad from Lincoln high school, Portland, who was a member of the all-star interscholastic eleven In the Rose City last season, is another man who ought to make the varsity squad next year. Robinson is a big man and has a world of speed for his size. Injuries kept him from show ing up on the frosh team this sea son.

In the fog he encounters a young ad venturess who has lost her way in the' fog and conducts her to her destination. The young lady appears at his home the following day. Then the fun starts and Hummingtop beats all records for telling lies. The three acts are full of live and clever action and good humor is fur nished the audience throughout the two hours .

This is the first ime at the University of Ore gon that anything of this nature has been attempted by the women, and to quote Miss Ethel Wakefield, pres ident of the women's inter-society forensic league the proposed series will be a success. At a meeting of the 'Women’s In tersociety Forensic league held a week ago in Professor Bert Pres cott’s room in Johnson hall, a set of resolutions were drawn up by the students’ forensic council and graduate manager for approval, but as yet no definite action has been taken. It is hoped, however, since Thursday of each week has been set aside as official meeting day for the Women’s Intersociety Forensic legue, that the student forensic council and graduate manager will have taken some definite action before the next meeting of the league. Both Series to Be in Winter. The resolutions, as p'^psented, call for the immediate negotiation of two women’s triangular debating contests; one to include the Oregon Agricultural college, Washington State college, and the University of Oregon, Leland Stanford and the | University of Washington as partici- [ pants. It is the plan of the women’s j forensic league to have both of the series of debates during the winter term. Work will begin very soon on tryouts. Council Urged to Act Soon. In view of the consideration of the welfare of the university as well as the women of the university, the resolutions urged that an ex ceptional effort be made by the stu dents’ forensic council and the grad uate manager to secure for the wo men of the university these inter "collegiate debating contests. The resolutions also ask for the support of the entire student body as the university women have long given their generous support to all college activities. At the meeting of the Women’s Forensic league held just before the Thanksgiving recess, permanent of icers were elected. Miss Ethel Wake field was elected president of the organization; Laura Rand, vice pres ident, and Doris Pittinger, secretary treasurer- It was also decided at the meeting that the Women’s For ensic league would meet at 4 o’clock on Thursday of every week in Pro fessor Prescott’s room in Johnson hall. Plans Are Discussed. At today’s meeting plans for the intercollegiate contests were dis cussed- The out-of-twn members, Mrs. Roy Bishop of Portland, Mrs,. Alexander Thompson of Hood River, t could not be present, but Mrs. P. L. I Campbell, Dean Elizabeth Fox, and Miss Julia Burgess, professor of | rhetoric at the university, were ex ; pected to be present at the meeting. Work is under way in each of the twelve women houses which are participants in the doughnut series scheduled for January 20 and 22. The question which will be dis cussed is, “Resolved, That the prin ciples of compulsory investigation as defined by the Canadian act of 1907 should be applied to all dis putes arising between railway com panies and their employes.” Montana U. to Raise Standards The University of Montana is or ganizing a woman’s league for the purpose of raising the social and scholastic stand-ard of the students.
