FINISH THE JOB
Starting this week the student eoun-j
cil and members of the Greater Ore
gon committee, aided by every mem
ber of the student body, are starting
a task which is one of the largest and
most important moves ever started
by the associated students, namely,
the raising of $30,000 for the Univer
sity Women’s building during the
Christmas vacation.
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.

acter of the Caliph of Bagdad. 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

2 SERIES OF DEBATE
ARE ASKED THIS YEAR
BT DNIVERSITY WOMEN
Forensic League Would Enter
Another intercollegiate
Conference
Eighteen girls, representing every
women’s fraternity on the campus,
have at the present time signed up
for intercollegiate debate- In the
resolution drawn up recently two
series were asked for. 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.
The league is endeavoring also to
assist the women students to solve
the employment problem.
