OUR ATHLETIC COACHES
There are those among us who are
now learning a truth that should have
been realized months ago; namely,
that the present coaching system, of
our athletic department went through
one of the most strenuous and yet
the most victorious football seasons
in the history of the University,
hampered by a lack of harmonious
support.
That coaching staff of out\ has
worked together consistently, labored
and struggled for Oregon. They re
ceived a far less remuneration than
does the coaching taff of any other
institution in the conference. This
made no difference to them. They
were soul and body for Oregon. Their
love for the old institution made up
for the lack of funds they received.
They organized a team which in ev
erything but the figures of the score
brought a smashing victory for Ore
gon in its recent game with Harv.'/rd
That team played a game which out
classed the playing of the 1916 team
which defeated the Pennsylvania elev
en. That, team played one of the
most wonderful games of football that
has ever been played in the history
the game.
Through it till shines the dominant
figures of Couch “Shy” Huntington,
Bill Hayward and Bart Spellman. Too
great a credit cannot be given Shy
Huntington for his work. It was es
sentially Shy’s team which displayed
the wonderful knowledge of football,
light and pluck at Pasadena.
And yet there are those who have
been prone to criticize. Men, a few
upperclassmen for the most part, have
faded to realize that Oregon has a
trio of coaches who cannot be beat in
the United States, excepting pone.
These men by their unscrupulous mut
terings and dissent ion have created
a condition which has bid fair to dis
rupt the present regime. They have
forgotten the fact that in so doing
they are doing the worse possible in
jury to their University. Without the
realization that every man in,the in
stitution stands behind them; without
receiving the utmost support of every
student in the institution our athletic j
coaches can do nothing and Oregon
would go on the shoals. \\ e do not
have to look far to see an example
of results obtained from an athlttic
department which has been riddled
by petty jealousies and lack of sup- j
port and yet we have not had the j
thought driven home that we were]
putting our own college in a fair way
to reap the same kind of results.
After the battle is over and the
glory is won is no time to get en* I
thused. The time to show your sup
port is during the stages of prepara-j
tion- Then is when our coaches and
our teams need every ounce of «>ur
support.
Oregon can never progress without
harmonious, unified support to our I
coaching system and athletic teams.
It has been lacking in the past to a
degree, but now in the light of re-;
cent events Oregon students have had
their eyes opened. They realise now
that our coaching system is unexcell
ed. The light has come slow to some.
Everybody knows it now. Now for
support, unending, unhesitatingly, un-(
iversal.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF THE
FOOTBALL SEASON
Resolved: We, the members of the Order of the O, unanimously go
on record in decreeing that we pledge our unending support to Coach “Shy” ,
Huntington, Trainer Bill Hayward and Coach Bart Spellman. To a man
we stand as one In backing whatever the present athletic regime sees
fit to do.
Resolved: That whereas we, the students of the University of Oregon,
after the most victorious football season in the history of our athletics,
take this opportune time to express our gratitude to our grand old man,
BILL HAYWARD; and to SHY HUNTINGTON, coach of Oregon’s greatest
football team.
And, further; That we desire our BILL HAYWARD, and our Oregon
found coach, SHY HUNTINGTON, to remain in their respective positions.
And, further; we, the students of the University of Oregon, being be
hind our BILL and SHY, to the last man, do hereby pledge ourselves to
support, in every way, our athletic staff. Now and for evermore.
OREGON LAW SCHOOL
University Placed On Level
With Harvard, Columbia
and Michigan
The Law School of the University is
now a member of the Association of
American Law Schools. This news
was brought back by Dean E. W.
Hope, of the Law School here, who
has just returned from a meeting of
this Association in the Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago, December 30- “There
are about 150 law schools in the coun
try, good, bad and indifferent, and
only fifty of these are considered
good enough to be admitted to the
Association,” said Dean Hope, “and
Oregon and Washington were the
4!)th and 50th, respectively, to be ad
mitted.”
“The association has in it only the
very best schools, such as Harvard,
Columbia, Pennsylvania, Chicago, and
Michigan,” Dean Hope explained, and
Oregon now ranks with these schools,
which are called “Class A.” “Admis
sion into this association is to be ob
tained only by maintaining entrance
requrements covering two years of
college work,” he went on, “and by
having suitable equipment such as
6,000 law volumes in the library and
maintaining a staff of full time in
structors numbering at least three.”
High standards of scholarship are
also required, he said.
Night Law Work Barred
One of the conditions upon which
Oregon was admitted was that the
school should never conduct a night
school in law nor should the Univer
sity, of which it is a part,, said Dean
Hope- “There was a real battle about
thisl night school law study,” he said,
“but in the end it was ruled out.” It
was finally voted that old members
of the association would be allowed to
give only one year’s credit for night
school work and that amount only
after the applicant had passed the
regular examination given in the
course for which lie desired credit,’
he explained. New members, begin
ning with Oregon, he said, are for-i
bidden from giving any credit what
ever for night work. This bars the
University Extension division from
giving any night law clases from now
on, he said.
It was also proposed at this meet
ing to raise the standard law course
from three to four years requirement,
but the resolution did not pass.
Dean Hope visited the law schools
of the universities of Montana, at
Missoula; Minnesota, at Minneapolis;
Wisconsin, at Madison; and the Uni
versity of Chicago, making the trip
in about ten days.
Partial Students, to Decrease
“In the law school here there are
about 08 students, including partials,
of which there are about 28,” said
Dean Hope, explaining that the days
of partial law students are number
ed, and that before long there will
be more regulars and very few par
tials. There are four women inelud
eo in the enrollment of the law
school.

480 EX-SERVICE MEN
10 GET $25 MONTH
TOLD NOT TO WORRY
Voucher To Be Made Out When
All Expense Accounts Are
Filed With Notary
No difficulty wil be experienced by
the ex-service men who are recipients
of the $25.00 monthly installment
from the state in obtaining the reg
ular allotments as they become due
says L. H. Johnson, comptroller at
the University. There has been a
question in the minds of some of the
service men as to whether any furth- j
er payments would be made until
March owing to a lack in the tax
turnover of the state for that purpose.
This idea is unfounded says Mr.
Johnson, and as soon as the state- j
ments are received from the students
of the December expenditures, a
voucher will be made out and the
men will receive their December com
pensation. j
File Claims with Notary
Lyle McCroskey, law student will
be in the hall of the Administration j
building next week to act as notary1
public for students filing claims for1
December expenditures.
So far many more students have
taken advantage, throughout the
state, and as a result inadequate
funds have been the result, but ac
cording to Mr. Johnson, it will be the
duty of the special session of the
state legislature to take up this mat
ter and provide adequate support for
men who are availing themselves of
the state aid measure.
About 480 men at the University
are receiving this compensation from
the state, including the extension di
vision and the University school ot
medicine at Portland. Those in the
extension division do not receve the
full $25 tn every case. They are only
reimbursed for the amount of their
actual expenses, such as tuition, car
fare, meals etc-, up to $25 per month.
Registration Swells Expenses
About $20,000 was the amount of
the statements of expenses handed in
by the ex-service men for the month
of October as their actual expendi
tures incurred in attending the Uni
versity for one month. $8,500 was
paid out by the University to cover
as much of the expense as possible.
During the month of November the
total expenditures was a little less
owing to the fact that registration
was over and most of the incidental
fees had been paid. The total ex
penditures, according to statements
received, amounted to about $6,00G
for the month while the University
paid out about the same as during
the previous month.
CUT miEH ID BE TOPIC
STUDENT COUNCIL TO TAKE UP|
QUESTION
Wearing of Green Caps by Frosh
With Military Credits to Fea
ture Meeting
At the Student Council meeting on
Tuesday evening, the first for this
term, there will come up for consid
eration reports on the Women’s build
ing fund drive, further modifications
of the cut system, the wearing of
green caps by freshmen whose mili
tary credits give them sophomore
standing, “open house” for this term,
and reports by various standing com
mittees.
The student council is trying to get
the cut system so modified that cuts
will not be cumulative from term to
term and will not cause the student
to lose college credit. Through their
efforts the system has already been
changed so that a student, by apply
ing to his major professor, may find
how many cuts are recorded against
him, and the date of each. Upon pre
sentation of a satisfactory excuse for
the absence he may get it removed
from the record.
The question of whether fres.hmen,
who have received sufficient college
credit for military service to give
them sophomore standing shal con
tinue to wear the green caps until
they have earned standing through
class work has been raised among
the freshmen and this will be discus
sed at the student council.
