A similar vote has been taken or is yet to be- taken at all the lead ing universities and colleges in the United States and is for the purpose of determining student opinion on tills important issue. The movement started with Columbia, Princeton, Harvard and Yale, which sent out sample ballots to the other education al institutions of the country. Oregon’s vote will he counted here and the results will be turned in to the national committee. Ballot boxes will be placed in about four different places on the campus. The campus committee in charge of arrangements is Guy Armantrout, Adelaide Lake and Lee Hulbert. Each Student to vote At each poll will bo a supply of the ballots and each student Is re quested to stop some time during the day, check his ballot and drop it in the box. There will be a separate polling place for the faculty. This, the com mittee decided, will be Just outside the library and will be marked by a poster. Students are asked not to drop their ballots into this box as the faculty vote and that of the stu dents is to be kept separate. On the ballot will bo six distinct propositions concerning what should be done with the peace treaty. The voter Is to check the one which he considers the correct step to be •taken by the United States. A large participation is desired, because Oregon wants to compare favorably with the other universities and colleges of the country. List of Propositions Following are the six propositions. Choose one: 1. I favor the ratification of the League and Treaty without amend ments or reservations. it. 1 am oposed to the ratification of the League and Treaty in any form. It. 1 am In favor of the ratifica tion of the Treay and League, but only with the specific reservations as voted by the majority of the Senate. 4. 1 favor any compromise on the reservations which will make pos sible immediate ratification of the Treaty and League. 5. 1 favor the government pro ceeding to make peace with Germany at once, leaving the question of a league of nations to be settled after wards. (1 I favor a compromise on the reservations of such a character as will avoid the danger of defeating ratification while still making clear that America can only be involved In war by a declaration of Congress, that domestic questions and (lie Mun ro<* doctrine are entirely outside of the jurisdiction of the League, that the plural vote of any member are all disqualified in the event of a dis pute wherein we are disqualified from voting, and that on deciding to withdraw we are to be the Judge of whether our obligations have been met. The voter is asked to sign his name on his ballot. OREGON GRIDSTERS ARE FETED BY EUGENE MEN (Continued from page l) wont wild. Cheering, yelling, howl tng. they greeted the two men who played ttu> most Important part In moulding the eleven which brought unending credit to their institution. It was not until after several mo ments of frenzied cheering that Veil Leaders Crandall, Knudson and Keen ey could quiet the exuberant greet ing. “Boys, this Is the best spirit I have seen in Id years," Mill Hayward told the hoys "1 haven't gone yet. 1 have two weeks in which to make m> decision Tonight’s demonstra tion has done a big hit.” Oregon' veteran trainer paid a brilliant tribute to Coach Shy Hunt ington. Pointing to him, he said. “There's a better man than Bezdek ever could—" The rest of his re murks were drowned by a colossal wave of applause. Coach Shy Huntington spoke to tlte assemblage with a voice shaken with emotion. "Tills is the proudest moment of my life," lie said. "1 don’t think Bill will leave,” he con tinued a minute later. "It would be the greatest shock Oregon has ever had." Creston Maddock then read reso-j lutions on behalf of the student body expressing gratitude 0to both Hay-1 ward and Huntington for their part in making' this football season the "most victorious in the history of Oregon athle’ os," and further to as sure them tnat Oregon stood <to a man to support in every way the University athletic staff. Ben W. Olcott, the governor of Oregon, was present at the banquet. He carved an immense chocolate, “Harvard melon” in the shap eof a cake adorned with miniature foot-; ball players plabeled after the Har vard players. The members of Ore gon’s eleven were each presented with a slice of the cake bearing the player he opposed in the big classic. "You boys have done a wonderful tiling for the state, and it will be remembered for years,” Governor Ol cott said. “If I am ever fortunate enough to be a grandfather and have grandchildren clamber about my knee and ask me what happened dur ing my administration 1 will tell them that the Oregon boys humbled the wonderful Harvard team during my period of office.” Speaking of Bill Hayward, Govern 1 or Olcott said he had heard rumors that he was thinking of leaving Ore gon. “He has been a wonderful asset to the University,” lie said, “and if Bill Hayward has the nerve to leave Oregon I’m going out and take his name off that new athletic field.” wuriiig me uciiitjuei. many telegrams from every part of the United States - lauding the Oregon team for its wonderful game were read. Telegrams were received from A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard univ ersity; the Portland Alumni associa tion; Willamette university; Univer sity of Washington; Washington State college; Stanford university; University of California; Multnomah Athletic: club; the Portland Oregon ian ; George L. Baker, mayor of Port land; J. C. Lowe, mayor of Cor vallis; State Chamber of Commerce; Portland Chamber of Commerce, and Sam Dolan, well-known athletic of ficial at O. A. C. Tlie latter ended by saying, “I)o not let Bill Hayward leave the state of Oregon. He is a great part of our state and is the greatest athletic asset we have. He must not leave us.” Enthusiasm, spirit, and interest did not lag for a single instant from the time the entertainment started at 6:45 until after 11 o’clock when it broke tip. Hon. R. A. Booth acted as toastmaster. Other speakers were E. C. Simmons, president of the Eu gene chamber of commerce; Presi dent P. L. Campbell, Mariou Mc Clain, Bill Hayward, Shy Hunting ton and the individual members of the team. Bill Hayward told of the Oregon fight which had been suedi a big part in Oregon’s athletic victories since t ho founding of the institution. When the veteran of 16 years at Oregon arose to speak the entire assem blage rose to their feet and the air rung with applause. Bill tried to tell what Oregon light was but he couldn’t express himself as he want ed to. “Oregon fight—I can’t tell you—-it’s just there,” he said. "Ev ery man has it. Where lie gets it 1 don’t know—it’s just thero.” A few minutes later Shy Hunting ton said in his talk that Bill was modest in speaking about Oregon | light. “Oregon light is Bill Hay ward,” he said. The committee of the Eugene cham - ber of commerce who were in charge of the banquet were ,1. C. Price, E. C. Simmons, F. N. McAlister, E. W. Merrill, C. D. Borer, Karl On thank, J. A. Griffin, C. C.

DEM EG TALK THROUGHOUT STATE NATION WIDE EDUCATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PROGRAM TO BE PROMOTED Dean Mlixabeth Fox will make a tour of the state, starting January 17, in behalf of an educational and, financial program which the V. \V. C. A. is now forewarding. This program is nation-wide in scope, Doan Fox having been asked to make a tour of the states of Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona, declining, however, because i ho could not spare the time from her work at the University. Miss Fox goes to Portland first, where she will attend a Daughters of the American Revolution meeting, and from there will start on her trip. The itinery evil probably include Forest Drove, Koseburg, Medford, Ashland and Grants Pass. During the war the work of the V. W A. increased greatly in the number of people it served, and, ac cording to Dean Fox, it is very de sirous of continuing the work. Many new clubs were organized among the women and new interest was awakened in the rural commun ities. Women working in factories, many of them being taken out of their homes for the first time, and brought together in such large numbers, found a social and educational center in the V W. C A. It is felt that once hav ing reached such a large number of women an opportunity exists to en large the scope of the Y. W. C. A. permanently. The raising of money to carry on the work will be a feature of the program, which is to be carried on throughout all the states. O.A.C. WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN TRIANGULAR DEBATE Oregon Loses To Both Corvallis and Reed College Teams In Close Arguments The debating laurels in the state triangular contest went to the Oregon Agricultural college when Reed col lege and the University of Oregon were defeated last evening.

C.’s negative in Villard hall before an audience of 500 peo ple and upheld their side of the ques tion “Resolved that the principles of the Chinese exclusion act should be applied to all immigration into the United States for a period of not less than five years.” The judges decision went to the negative. Paul Emmett and T. Landis upheld j the negative here for O. A. C. Pro-j fessor Crockett acted as chairman. H. j W. Davis, secretary of the Eugene: Y. M. C. A., substituted as one of the judges for President R. C. Pennington of Pacific College at Newberg, who! was unable to arrive on time owing to an accident which prevented him from catching the train. C. L. Tra win, pastor of the Methodist church at McMinnville, and G. E. Baker, of Portland, were the other two judges in Villard hall. Remey Cox and Ernest Crockatt upheld the Oregon negative at Reed college against Herbert Swett and Lewis Jones, Reed’s affirmative. The judges returned the Reed team the winners by a 2-1 vote. Carlton Sav age and Ernest Nail were alternates for Oregon at O. A. C- 0. A. C. were the winners on both sides of the question. Owing to the delay in obtaining a substitute judge, the debate did not start until 9:50, ending at 11:30. The audience at Villard was enter tained during the long wait by a pro gram of solos and piano selections. Those who took part in the program are Kate Chatburn, Genevieve Clancy, Dean Elizabeth Fox, Frank Jue and Randolph Howard.

Both “Shy” and Hayward will have charge of coaching the frosh basket eers this season and it is expected that a fast quintet will be developed from the husky squad of aspirants. The frosh schedule has not been completed as yet but it will include* in all probability, games with the O. A. C. Rooks team, the Chemawa Indian tea^n and a number of the fast high school quintets in this section of the state. No attempt at a se lection of the team has been made by the coaches as yet although it is expected that by the latter part of next week a pretty good line on the strength of the team this season can be secured. A wealth of good material was out in uniform during the doughnut league schedule and no doubt a num ber of these men will show up to good advantage in the tryouts for the frosh quintet. Among the most likely looking material is: Clerin, Gassoway and “Hunk” Latham, for the center position; Holmes; Gavin Palmer Andre and Shields all work ed well in the forward position, while Burchdorf, Brown, Couch Von der Ahe, McEntee and Martin all loomed up as good men in the guard position. There is a plenti ful supply of other material in addi tion to these named and the compe tition for places on the team pro mises to be keen.
