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.

OREGON TO DEBATE
CANADIANS FEB. 27
Northerners Suggest Amendment to
Question—Eleven Try for
Local Team
Word has been received from Bri
tish Columbia by R. W. Prescott,
professor ,of public speaking, agree
ing to the debate contest be
tween the University of Bri
tish Columbia and the University of
Oregon on February 22, but sug
gesting an amendment to the former
phrasing of the open and closed shop
question. British Columbia, Idaho
and Oregon are members of this tri
angular debate league. The ques
tion, as amended by the Canadians,
would read: “Resolved, That the in
dustrial interests are best served by
maintaining the policy of the closed
shop.” Oregon’s negative will de
bate Idaho at their university, while
the Oregon affirmative will remain
at home to meet British Columbia.
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.

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

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.

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- *
