Holiday High Jinks to be Track Meet
While students are buring the
midnight oil, Saturday morning, for
the stiff exams scheduled for next
week, the pedagogues will have their
big holiday high jinks in the men’s
gym- It’s going to come off sure,
blizard or no blizzard, and note this,
H. M- Fisher has promised that the
old gym will be w-a-r-m! It’s going
to be a hum-dinging party, says the
faculty bulletin and if the enter
tainment program has anything to
do with that prophecy—were in
clined to believe it.
A burlesque triangular track meet
will be participated in by every mem
ber of the faculty, the teams being
captained by none other than Dr.
H. D. Sheldon, Prof. E. E. DeCou and
Dr. W. P. Boynton.
According to Prof- W.F. G. Thacher
rigorous training rules have been in
effect for the last week and in addi
tion to the alleged careful supervi
sion by Bill Hayward, who will also
act as referee, all of the professors
are in excellent condition- Teams
will be captained by Professors Shel
don, DeCou and Boynton, and all
are confident of success. All mem
bers of the faculty will take part
in the meet, following which there
will be dancing and general making
merry; that is, provided none of the
contestants are incapacitated through
“rough play” or overabundance of
fighting spirit in the various events.
A good old Virginia reel or two
and some John Paul Jones for the
younger and more frivolous of the
facultate and something good to
eat, hot chocalate and cake, if the
storm keeps up are expected to add
to the enjoyment.
Put a little spare change in your
pocket before starting out, is the
advice of the finance committee, as
everyone will be assessed per cap
ita—for even the simplest kind of
of a party costs something, you
know.
“Don’t dress up” is the final ad
vice of the committee, nor is any
kind of a special costume necessary,
but they say soft slippers or shoes
might be brought for the athletics.
Even that doesn’t matter, however.
Just come at 7:30 sharp, is the re
quest.

that he was confident the students
could do it- That sums means only
an average of $20 per student, he
explained. He added that one gift
of $1,000 was already in sight. The
success of the student body in the
matter will enable the university to
let the contract for finishing the
building soon after the first of the
year.- The Women’s building, when
completed, will be the finest build
ing on the campus.
Students should know, he de
clared, how well the state has stood
behind the university. The bill pro
viding for $100,000 for the women’s
I
building was all that could be ap
propriated under the 6 per cent
limitation law and it passed in both
houses without a dissenting vote.
Dean Straub pointed out to the
student body and more particularly
to the freshman class just what was
expected of each individual. The
main thing, he said, was to get
started right away after reaching
home. He expressed his confidence
that the freshman class would prove
itself the best as well as the larg
est ever in the school. i
Mrs. Gerlinger Praised.
Dean Fox told of the enthusiasm
of Mrs. Gerlinger for the cause,
and the appreciation she had ex
pressed at the move the student body
was making. She also told of Mrs.
Bishop’s work in behalf of the build
ing fund.
Announcements were made of mass
meetings of all Portland students in
Villard hall at 8 p- m. today, and
of a similar meeting of all eastern
Oregon students in the Y. M. hut

paign.
