• nounced this morning that he •
• was especially anxious that all •
. • student contributions be turn- •
, • ed in to Miss Charlie Fenton •
• not later than Monday evening. •
• This includes all large and •
• small private donations from •
• students, parents and friends. •
According to Wilbur Carl, of the
' student’s committee to raise funds for
» -the Women’s building during vacation
» the fund has now swelled By about
$6,.000 since the beginning of vaca
* tion, and returns are still coming in.
* He is of the opinion that it will be
impossible to-, make a complete check
A on all money collected for two weeks
» or more. As the money raised by the
students is practically all available as
cash, the University will be able to
draw on the state for another block
of $25,000 as soon as needed in con
u struction work.
Members of the committee from
* Portland and elsewhere say that the
campaign is awakening the people of
% the state to the needs of the Uni
versity. Cases are cited of anany
3 mous gifts that are being sent in by
► people who have already contributed
v generously to the building fund- The
largest individual subscription made
during the campaign was the $1,000
* anonymous gift from ‘a friend of the
University in Eugene.
Although the entire amount needed
has not been secured the Christmas
drive has made available all but the
last block of $25,000 of state money.
Members of the campaign committee
’ urge that all students pay their
a pledges and turn in the money col
lected as soon as possible to either
L. H- Johnson, comptroller of the Uni
versity, or Miss Charley Fenton,
alumni secretary, in order that a com
plete check may b§ made at once.
Returns which are still coming in
t have swelled the contributions collect
ed in various towns throughout the
state. An incomplete list of the funds

Girls Enrollment in Physical Train
ing Increases 100 Per Cent
Registration in the physical train
ing department for women at the Uni

tion in class and team work in 1918
was 537; this was increased to 1053
during 1919, showing a 100 per cent
increase. The number of professional
students enrolled in the department

TOTAL LARSEST IN HISTORY
Lewis Bond of Eugene Receives
Top Grade for Men—Annabel
Dunn Highest Girl
Fifty-six students in the University
made all H and S grades during the
fall term, according to the records
just made up in the registrar's of
fice. Thirty of the leading students
are men and 26 women, apparently
giving the men a slight lead in scho
larship; but the enrollment of wo
men is only ight per cent, that of
the men, making the girls’ showing
a trifle the better. The 56 make up
the largest total of all-S-and-H stu
dents in the history of the Univer
sity. The total in the second term
of last year was 45, which, however,
was a larger percentage of the whole
number enrolled than is the 56 this
year. In the University grading sys
tem, H stands for Honor, the high
est possible grade, equivalent to be
tween 95 and 100 per cent., and S
for Superior, only a shade lower in
the scale.
Some of the Leaders
The highest grades in the Univer
sity last term were made by Lewis
A. Bond of Eugene, a graduate stu
dent in geology, who made 9 straight
hours of H, and Annabel Dunn, of
Roseburg, a freshman in the school
of music, whose card records 16 hours
H and 1-3 S. Mr. Bond while an un
dergraduate majored in chemistry,
but changed after returning from
France, where he served as a lieu
tenant in the army. Others who
ranked exceptionally high among the
all H and S students hre Franklin
E. Folts of Hood River, a senior in
commerce, who received 15 hours H
and 3 S; Luceil Morrow of Portland,
a senior in English literature, 11
hours H and 3 S; Irva Smith of Wal-,

Friends Hear Latest From Chicago
i A few weeks ago Alexander G.
I Brown left his cares behind and
! startd for Illinois to attend the con
vention of the Sigma Delta Chi hon
orary journalism fraternity at the
expense of his brother journalists.
That was way back before exam
inations. He has returned now and
is recklessly giving out information
on the coal shortage as it affected
the middle west and expressing his
opinions on such productions as the
Scandals of 1919, in fact the ex
pression, “when I was in Chicago”
| has become such a byword with him
that he almost found himself regis
tering from that metropolis the first
day of school.
Of the thirty-three delegates rep
i resenting Sigma Delta Chi chapters!
from all over the United States atj
the University of Illinois convention,!
Brown had the distinction of having'
i come the farthest. He out-traveled
i the University of Washington dele
gate by |10.30 railroad fare.
Business sessions, interspersed with
pink teas and banquets, were the
diversions of the several days spent
at the convention. Only 1000 students
a day were allowed to leave the
University of Illinois as the railroads
could not take care of any more
owing to the lack of coal, and the
University could not keep them there
any longer for the same reason, even
even if examinations did have to be
dispensed with.
“Chicago at the height of the coal
shortage, December 5, gave the im
pression of a country hamlet during
the morning and evening hours when
the stores were closed, most of the
theatres shut down and no street
lights burning,” declared Brown. “It
was only in the afternoon that the
city really assumed its metropolitan
atmosphere when business returned
to its normal state and everything1
opened up.”
While spending a short time with
relatives in one of the small vil
lages in Missouri, Brown was afford
ed the oportunity of speaking at a
grangers’ meeting on “Farm Organ
ization and its Advantages,” and of
writing several articles for the spe
cial New Year’s edition of the local
paper on rural topics.
“As a whole the middle west was
strong for Oregon in the New Year’s
game and hoped the University would
come out on top with a big score,”
he said. “The newspapers and sport
ing men of Chicago, St. Louis and:
other cities were emphatic in de-!
daring their favoritism for the Uni
versity of Oregon, but they were
doubtful as to our chances of win- j
ning.”
Brown arrived at his home in Port
land in time to megaphone the Ore
gon-Harvard game for the Evening
Telegram.
VARSITY GRIDSTERS FETED

BASKETBALL SEASON OPENS MONDAY
BASKETBALL SEASON
WILL OPEN MONDAY
WITH WHITMAN FIVE
Four Letter Men On Floor, and
Much Good Material
In Evidence
VETERANS MAY START GAME
Durno, Jacobberger, Lind and Chap
man Expected to be Seen
Against Northerners
With no definite lineup arranged,
and the squad in rather poor condi
tion the prospects for a basketball
victory over the Whitman athletes on
Monday night are not the best in the
world. The squad has only been out
about two weeks which is not suf
ficient to get the men into fighting
trim. But in spite of these handicaps
the sport followers expect Oregon to
hand Whitman a defeat. “Shy”
Huntington, coacli, has not had time
to pick the men who will start the
battle, but as the Whitman team will
be played two games, Monday and
Tuesday nights, it is expected that
a great many candidates will be giv
en a chance on the floor.
Little dope can b# gathered on the
Whitman team. Whitman has a
number of the old men back and a
rather close game is expected, ac
cording to the followers of the teams.
Oregon has four letter men this year
and with several other aspirants for
berths on the team a good one is
expected. Bill Reinhart came back
at the beginning of the year and will
make a strong bid for a forward pos
ition if he is eligible to play. .“Skeet”
Manerud, who played on the fresh
man team last year and held a place
on the football squad, is making a
splendid showing on the floor and will
also crowd someone for a try at for
ward.
It is certain that “Eddie” Durno,
the basketball wizard, will break into
the lineup against Whitman. It is
also expected that “Herm” Lind, cap
tain, «ind Francis Jacobberger, and
“Nish” Chapman, of last year’s five
will feature in the coming battle.
All sport enthusiasts are waiting
eagerly to see the little whirlwind,
“Skeet” Manerud, perform on the
basketball team. - “Skeet” plays the
same style as Durno but lacks his
experience.
.Dick Nelson will not be out for
the- team. Since leaving college he |
has been playing a great deal of
professional baseball and will not be,
eligible for a Iflace on the Varsity j
quintet. Dick played on the Varsity:
team her in ’17. He has been play- j
ir.g baseball with the Moose Jaw
team of the Western Canadian league
during the past season but expects!
to remain in college till spring.
That the team needs every ounce
of support that can be given them is
emphasized by “Slim” Crandall, yell
king, and “Herm” Lind, this year’s
captain. Slim says he wants to see
every man and woman out to the
games Monday and Tuesday nights.
Oregon is going to have a good team
and it must have a good rooting sec
tion.
Oregon has a splendid chance in
the basketball field this year, how
ever, there are some hard games to
be played and many of the old men
stars of other institutions are back
on the job. The Varsity squad has
been out since Monday and has been
holding scrimmages daily, getting in
shape for the game with Whitman.
MEDICAL INSPECTION SOON
Physical Examination of Cadets to Be
Completed Next Week
Physical examination of all mem
bers of the R. O. T. C- here, who
haife not gone through medical in
spection this year, will be made next
week. Nearly all of tfee freshmen
were examined at the beginning of the
year, but a number of sophomores
failed to take the tests.
The government requires that all
men in the corps be in good physical
condition. The examinations will be
made by Dr. D. H. Sawyer at the
school infirmary.
ORCHESTRA ELECTS
HOEBER PRESIDENT
Several New Members Added—Others
May Try Out Tuesday or Thurs
day Afternoon
At a meeting of the University or
chestra on Thursday evening a perm
anent organization was established
and officers elected- Ralph Hoeber
was chosen president, Beulah Clark,
secretary-treasurer, and Edna Rice,
librarian.
Professor Rex Underwood who has
charge of the orchestra this year an
nounces that several new members
have been added, and that there are
openings for more. He asks that any
one interested in trying out for the
orchestra see him on Tuesday or on
Thursday afternoon at the music
school.
He said it is especially important
that all members attend the regular
rehearsal next Tuesday night at Vil
lard Hall as a flashlight group pic
ture for the Oregana will be taken
at that time.
LIBRARY MAKES NEW RULE
Student* Wust Get Permission to Use
0 Stack Rooms
A new ruling has been made by M.
H. Douglass, Univerity librarian,
whereby students are requested not to
use the stack rooms of the library
without special permission. Most
university libraries restrict access to
the stacks, Mr. Douglass says, and
that he believes the time has come
to take some action here.
“The idea,^ said Mr. Douglass, “is
to have the tables in the stack rooms
reserved for advanced students and
those requiring the use of the books
in the stacks. The advance students
upon request of the major professors
will be given permanent permits.
Others wishing to secure temporary
use of the stacks will be given tem
porary permits, if there seems to be
an important reason for it.”
GIRL’S GLEE CLUB TO TOUR

glee club will sing in the towns sche
duled for the Christmas holiday trip.
Arrangements are being made for
the girls to sing in Medford, Ash
land, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Klam

University Men 500 Strong Show
Their Gratitude to Bill Hayward
and Shy Huntington
"Bill, Shy, Bill, Shy, Bill!” Five
hundred pep enthused, wildly enthu
siastic, University men voiced it as
they wound their way in a Joyous
serpentine of ultra jazz, through the
crowded banquet hall of the cham
ber of commrce last night where in
royal dignity sat the members of the
Oregon football squad, its coaching
and managing staffs as guests of /
honor of the Eugene chamber of com
merce.
It was a great banquet—one won
derful night— and came as a fitting
close for the most victorious football
season the lemon-yellow lias ever
known.
From the minute that 250 members
of the chamber of commerce escort
ed the football aggregation to the
lemon-yellow bedecked banquet room
while the Mighty Oregon men’s quar
tet made the air resound with Ore
gon songs until the final glowing tri
bute of the last toastmaker had faded
with the cigar smoke the evening was
a success. Loyalty, gratitude, praise
and appreciation to Coach Shy Hunt
ington, Trainer Bill Hayward, Coach
Bart Spellman and the members of
the football squad were the keynotes
sounded by the speakers of the even
ing. The coaching staff and indi
vidual members of the eleven were
lauded with brilliant phrases and
mad to feel that the citizens of Eu
gene and the people of the state at
large appreciated their mighty show
ing at Pasadena, and the glory and
favorable comment it had brought
to Oregon as a state and to the en
tire West.
The assemblage had hardly seated
themselves at the food laden tables
when 500 University men accompan
ied by a student band marched to
tile outer portals of the banquet hall
aiuj loudly clamored for "Shy” and*
"Bill.” When the two men appeared
before that packed mass of noise
making humanity a gigantic roar of
applause shook the building. The
noise was deafening. The rooters

ORDER OF "0" RUCKS
BILL AND SHI TO LIMIT
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED TO
MAKE LETTERS HARDER
TO GET
The Order of the O, at their first
meeting of the year held yesterday
afternoon in the Varsity room of the
men’s gym, passed a resolution that
every member of the order should be
one hundred per cent behind Bill Hay
ward and Shy Huntington. It was
also announced that shortly after the
basketball game with W. S- C. that
a meeting would be held to initiate
all the new members of the order who
| won their letters on either last year’s
track and baseball teams or this
year’s football team.
Stanford Anderson and Herman
Lind were appointed as a committee
of two to look after arrangements for
a dance which will be held early in
February.
“Hank” Foster is president of the
order, Nish Chapman secretary-treas
urer, and Si Starr is the official
bouncer.
The order recommended that the
athletic association buy Oregon blan
kets for the use of all varsity teams.
It was also voted at the meeting that
football and track letters were too
easily made, and the recommendation
was passed that steps be taken to in
crease the requii'fements for winning
letters in both these branches of ath
letics.
