Oregon Emerald VOLUME 21 EUGENE. OREGON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 22, 1920 NUMBER 36 WASHINGTON DOT IIP TO HARK FOR ORESBN CONTEST, SAYS COACH Same Lineup Used In Whitman Game Will Probably 'Open Mix Tonight SEVEN MEN MAKE TRIP Dope Points to Victory for Shy’s Team, Though Form is Not Yet Up to That of 1919 “Shy” Huntington and seven of the best basketball players on the coast according to Oregon rooters, left on the 5:05 train Wednesday for Seattle to mix with the University of Wash ington team. Among those who made the trip were Francis Beller, Eddie Durno, Nish Chapman, Fran cis Jacobberger, Herm Lind, Mark Latham and Lynn McCready. “Shy” Huntington did not announce the men he would use to start the game tonight, but it is thought the same combination that defeated Whitman will' be used, namely, . Durno and Lind, forwards, Latham, center, Jac obberger and Chapman, guards. Coach “Stub” Allison, Washington basketball coach, is reported much disappointed in the results of the first practice game with the Spalding five. “Terrible,.” declared Allison, commenting on the showing of the varsity squad. “There wasn’t a par ticle of teamwork displayed. The squad acted like a bunch that had never been together before. They have done better in scrimmage. They lacked everything.” All things seem to indicate that the Eugene contingent will return with at least one victory added to the honor roll, although followers of the game are not yet convinced that Oregon is up to the championship standard of 1919.

Agreement has not yet been reached on the phrasing of the question, and Professor Prescott announced that he intended to ask British Columbia to reconsider the phrasing of the question, several of the terms being ambiguous. The two Oregon teams will prob ably not be chosen until a week or so before the debate, Professor Pres cott announced. Oregon, he said, had 11 strong candidates from whom to choose four.

EMERALD IS SHVED; SUMS CUE HID Win SUBSCRirilONS Campus Drive Nets Estimate of 400 New Subscribers to Paper HOUSES RESPOND READILY Energetic Committees Solicit Entire Student Body in Two-Day Campaign The Emerald is saved. This is the report given out by Leith Abbott, editor, and Warren Kays, business manager, this morn ing, following a two days’ subscrip tion drive held on the campus Tues day and yesterday. The exact number of subscriptions taken during the drive is not known yet by . Mr. Kays, as detailed reports from several committee members who solicited in different houses on the campus are not yet turned in. The business manager places a close ( estimate on the new subscriptions gained at 400. This will mean that the paper’s future is assured and that it can keep on as before, Mr. Abbott announced today. “The drive fell short of the goal we set,” he said this morning, “but results of the drive put us in a position where by steady, consistent effort on the part of every member of the staff for the remainder of the year the Emerald will be possible. It leaves us no surplus but it puts us on our feet.” Both Kays and Abbott are warm in their praise of the committee and solicitors who conducted the drive. “The committee worked unceas ingly,” Editor Abbott said, “and practically every student was reach ed in the two days of the drive.” The fact that practically every stu dent was reached during the two days of the drive is given as the reason for letting the campaign stop short of the 600 subscribers goal which was set. All of the houses on the campus are practically 100% or over. All of the organizations have subscribed for a flat number for the house while many in the organizations have taken an individual copy to send home. The committee hardly expected as high a rate could be obtained in Hen drix and Friendly Halls owing td the larger number of students, but reports indicate that both are nearly 100% subscribers. Fine Spirit Shown Kays declared that everyone came through in good spirit and he thinks that the drive was only made neces sary because students had not been solicited at the beginning of the year. He said much credit is due the wo men’s organizations which detailed two girls from each to solicit sub scriptions on the campus the closing day of the drive. These members, he declared, kept the drive from lag ging till the very close. Kays is anxious to complete his check on the drive and asks all mem bers to turn in their complete re ports to him as soon as possible. Dorothy Duniway, he said, so far as incomplete returns indicate, has outdistanced all in collecting Emer ald money. She secured 40 sub scriptions in the drive and was an untiring worker from start till fin ish. Clem Cameron also made a splendid showing throughout the drive and her total in new subscrip tions has reached about 30, Kays thinks. Friendly Hall Well Up For Friendly Hall, Bill Martin col lected 19 new subscriptions, and the hall high up in the percentage col umn before the drive was well under way. Marjorie Holliday lead the Hendricks Hall Emerald boosters with 15 new subscriptions. Mauna Loa Fallis, who conducted the cam paign in the Kappa house, and also; worked on the campus, turned in about 15 subscriptions and earned a; place among the live wires of the campaign. Price of Home* Limited The board of regents at the Uni-j versity of Washington set $45,000 ■ as the limit that fraternities and: sororities could spend in the erec-' tion of homes. -I JUNIORS SET MAY 13 FUR ANNUAL WEEK-END; PR06RAM IS LINED UP Varsity Track to Be Absent; Oregon Frosh Will Rescue Meet COSTUME PARADE FEATURE Chapman Appoints Committees to Work for Success of Big Date —Ed. Durno, Chairman. The date for Junior week-end, May 13 to 16, was announced for the first time at a meeting of the junior class Tuesday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. Hut, where plans for the affair were discussed. The program, as far as it is made out, was presented by Ed die Durno, chairman of the commit tee for arrangements, and Nish Chap man, president of the class, appoint ed committees for the various events to take place during the week-end. Unlike other years, there will be no varsity track meet during the week-end because the team has al ready signed up to be away at that time. As this was the best week-end to have the annual junior “blowout” it will be given during the absence of the track men. “A track meet be tween the O. A. C. Rooks and the Oregon Frosh will fill the place of the varsity meet,” stated Chapman. One of the features of the week end is to be the costume parade which made such a Hit the last time it was staged. “We decided to give this so that the ‘preppers’ can see us at our worst as well as at our best,” declared Durno, explaining the reason for including this event in the program. The costume parade has been left in charge of the Yell Kingi. Dances at the various houses on the campus on Thursday night were discouraged at the junior meeting. “These dances,” stated Durno, “are not only a trouble for the houses to arrange and give, but they interfere greatly with the rest of the program. Thege dances usually start before the canoe fete. The couple dance until nearly time for the fete and then rush over in their light clothes to the raceway and stand around for hours. After the fete is over, it’s rush back to the dance again. These entertainments have always met with great disapproval. It is our plan,” Durno continued, “to set aside the time following the fete this year for house members to become acquainted with their own guests.” The costume parade is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the canoe fete at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday. The most important event of Fri day of the week-end will be the senior play at the Eugene theatre. As yet no announcement has been made in regard to the choice of play of the plans for staging it. Saturday morning the “O” will be painted as has always been the cus tom. This is to be taken care of by members of the Order of the “O.” It ia hoped that the weather will permit luncheon to be served on the campus Saturdaly noon, instead of in the gymnasium. The committees for this affair will be announced later through Women’s league-, stat ed Chapman. Many aquatic features will be stag ed during the early part of Satur day afternoon. A committee con sisting of Francis Jacobberger, chair man, Vivian Chaudler, Helen Case and Gladys Smith will be in charge of the meet. A .tennis tournament between O. A. C. and Oregon is to have a place on the program; George Beggs and Uoland Woodruff are the committee for this affair. Definite plans for the big Junior Prom of Saturday night are being kept dark, but the committee In charge, consisting of Wilbur Carl, chairman, Theodora Stoppenbach, Willard Hollenbeck, Nell Warwick and Wanda Nelson, promise to make it a better Prom than ever before. Whether it will be formal for the men or not was not discussed at this meeting, but it will be decided at a later date and announcements will then be made. Sunday afternoon will be turned HK » (Continued on CRAFTSMEN BANQUET AT HOTEL OSBURN Twenty-six Members Attend Meeting; Humorous Anecdotes Fill in Between Courses The Craftsmen of the University entertained themselves byt telling of their varied individual experiences as Masons at their banquet last night held at the Hotel Osburn. Twenty-six members of the organ ization were present at the banquet, which was the third regular meeting this school year. The dinner began at 6:30 and lasted for two hours, during which time each member present told some amusing incidents relative to his initiation or experi ences in school or overseas having to do with his Masonic connection. The dinner took the form of a purely social meeting of a type which they intend to hold regularly. Thfe Craftsmen society is composed of all Masons of the third degree or above who are enrolled students or faculty members- of the University. “There are about 60 Craftsmen in school,” said Professor Dunn, “but it is hard to get all of them out to any one meeting.” Those present last night were: Faculty members—F. S. Dunn. A. L. Lomax, R. H. Wheeler, J. Bolitho and Carlton E. Spencer; students—Wm. P. Allyn, B. O. Garrett, H. W. White, N. C. Bader, E. A. Britton, C. II. Phetteplace, R. II. Mast, E. E. Leslie, W. II. Garretsen, Jr., R. P. Burkhead, Victor Chambers, Lay A. Carlisle, 0. Iv. Crandall, G. E. Armantrout., J. M. MacGregor, Geo. F. Guldager, Stanley E. Allen, Francis T. Wade, Harold J. Wells, Clarence E. Lom bard and Pouls W. Latimer. OREGON TEACHERS SOUGHT Positions Offered Several Students and Three Already Taken Oregon trained teachers are in de mand. Three 1919-20 students have accepted places for the rest of the year and others have been offered desirable positions. Misses Ethel Ewer, Harriett Garrett and Marion Andrews have been offered positions in the Eugene high school. Miss Ewer and Miss Garrett have accepted, the former to teach Eng lish in extra classes made necessary by the increasing enrollment in the city high school, the latter to take over the science classes formerly taught by Miss Katherine Howells, who was transferred to the head of the home economics department. Y. M. C. A. FACES PROBLEM Employment for University Students Fails to Meet Demands The employment openings at the University Y. M. C. A. have been on the decrease since the beginning of the new term. There is a usual fal ling off, each year, in the jobs that come in during the middle term but this term has beaten all records. The demand for jobs by the students has been great up to the present. The figures on hand show that more than three hundred jobs were given out last term, some of which were permanent. The total amount which this brought in, came to over five thousand dollars and has proved to be a reason for many students remaining in school. Reverend A. M. Spangler, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., said that if the situation did not improve, some steps would be taken to let the townspeople know of this need so that they will respond to the students’ desire for work. LUCILE REDMOND TALKS Eutaxian Meeting Given to Modern American Poets Lucile Redmond gave a talk on “Modern American Poets,” as the main feature of the meeting of the Eutaxian Literary society Tuesday evening. She told about their lives and read sketches of their works. At the short business meeting held before the program it was decided to elect officers at the next meet ing of the club on February 3. These officers are elected twice each school year, she explained, but no ballot has been made up yet. The regular meeting on February 17 will be a social for the members only? if present plans are carried out. STUDENTS HAVE CHANCE TO HELP PUT OREGON ON EFFICIENT BASIS Support of Millage. Bill to Be Voted On In May Urged At Assembly TWO DEANS GIVE FACTS Straub and Morton Tell Needs—Dr. Gilbert Discusses Chance for Victory at Polls “'She opportunity is within your grasp to make this a bigger, better and a greater Oregon.” So said Dean D. W. Morton, speaking before the student assembly in Villard hall Thursday morning on the subject of the new appropriation measure for the University which is to be placed before the people at the primary elec tion next May. Each student was urged to obtain ten votes for the mil lage bill. Urging the students to support the referendum which will increase the millage tax for the higher educational institutions throughout the state to 1.20 mills, Dean Morton showed the crying need for additional funds at Oregon. Oregon has received, since the al lowance of three-sevenths of a mill tax in 11)15, approximately $300,000 a year. The new bill provides for an additional income of $514,000 annually, which funds will be used for the con struction of new buildings to bring the university up to a standard with other similar institutions throughout the country. Of the new levy, .06 of a mill is to provide funds for the state normal school and the remainder is to be split three to four, O. A. C. receiving the larger porton of the ap propriation. Less Than High School Cost “All the buildings on the campus at present,” said Doan Morton, “have been built at a cost of $528,819.06. What did Lincoln high school in Port land cost? Some of you are grad uates of Lincoln. It cost a little more than $600,000. “With our present facilities over crowded and prospects for an increase of 25 per cent in the enrollment next year, as estimated by State Superin tendent of Public* Instruction Church ill, something must be done to care for the increased need. The increase in appropriations has not kept pace with the growth of the school. In 1915 the enrollment was 818, and to- * (Continued on page*four) DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STUDENTS TRAIN Classes Assigned for New Semester in Eugene and Springfield High Schools Twenty seniors in the school edu cation are embarking these days on their careers as teachers.
