HOOVER MEETING DELAYED
Absence of Dr. Warren D. Smith
Causes Postponement
The meeting of the Oregon Hoover
Club, scheduled for last Tuesday,
will be held early next week, it was
announced by Hoover advocates yes

postpone the meeting when Dr. War
ren D. Smith, who was to have de
livered an- address upon the platform
of Hoover, was called out of town
and could not get back in time for
the meeting.
The fact that a large number of
meetings of campus organizations
and committees are scheduled for

Hoover men to seek another night.

of the meting next week will be
made through the Emerald and on

ing to Harry Jamieson, chairman,
has so far consisted in collecting
material from different colleges and
universities in the country. Mr.
Jamieson told the council that it
was the opinion of the committee
that such a system would not be feas
ible unless worked out in conjunc
tion with a plan for student govern
ment. In accordance with Mr. Jamie

Mineralogists Defy Spooks For Lab.
Haunted House Is Braved By Studes
Spooks! Tall ones ,thin ones,
wicked ones, who carry away
specimens ’n’ everything have
been rumored. Mineralogy peo
ple are said to be in danger of
facing them everytime they do
laboratory work. Spooks, it is
said, who come in the night and
leave chfcken feathers instead of
calling cards and who crawl in
through broken windows and
drag their trailing robes over
the uncarpeted floors. They have
such a little way to go, these
spooks, their home supposedly
being the cemetery just across
the road from this make-shift
mineralogy laboratory which has
recently been established in the
old ‘“haunted house.”
Once, quite a while ago, Pro
fessor Edward H. McAlister brav
ed the danger of this suspected
haunt of departed spirits, and
installed an observatory there.
The hole which at that time was
I cut through the roof to give full
play with the telescope is still
in existence. Finally, though,
after some time, even the scien
1 tific McAlister moved elsewhere.
Later on, for want of a place
to live, several women teachers
became brave and moved In to
share the house with its’reported
ghostly inhabitants, but this was
not for long, for soon they too
fled to more friendly places.
But. finally, along came some
mineralogy students in desperate
need of some place to work.
They were twelve. The geology
department had room for only
four. Something had to be done.
Someone suggested the haunted
house, so, leaving the girls to
work in safety, eight brave, bold
men advanced to the house and,
in a measure, have mastered the
spooks. At least, now the ghosts
kindly refrain from appearing
until after these studious men
have gone.
Of course, this isn’t a good
place for a laboratory, but it has
to suffice. You can’t blame the
spooks. They don’t need gas,
they don’t even need water;
but the students do. The water,
they have to carry from the bar
racks, and the gas, they have
to do without.
Newlyweds Forced
To Make Speeches;
Treated To Ride
It was 8:30 and all was as
usual on the campus.
Then suddenly the air was 1
filled with a pandemonium of
noise. Shots rang out in the
dark. A shouting mob poured
out of Friendly Hall and their
cries were mingled with the crack *
of rifles and revolvers. A trage
dy senved to have been commit
ted and a buzz of excitement ran
through the reading orom. Some
venturesome members of the
library steps brigade rushed over
to the scene of the battle.
It was but a minute until the
mystery was cleared up. The
scouts came running back with
the news, ‘It’s a charivari! Paul
Stone and Winona Lambert are
married. They just got back from
Portland and somebody got up a
party for them.” More question
ing brought out the whole story.
The pair were married in Port
land, Tuesday night, after slip
ping quietly from the campus
the night before. The wedding
was held at the home of the
bride in that city, and next day
they started back for the cam
pus. Upon their arrival at Hen
dricks Hall the news spread
rapidly and soon a delegation of
the bridegroom’s friends came
over from Friendly Hall.
A grand march was staged
from Hendricks hall and the cou
ple taken over to Friendly, where
they gave' impromptu speeches.
A cart was found and amid the
uproar of noise they were given
a ride around the place, after
which *they were left to enjoy
their honeymoon in peace.
i
Botlj, Miss Lambert and Mr.
Stone are juniors in tire Univer
sity and the home of each is in
Portland. For the present they
plan to remain in schopl.

1ISH0P W.T. SUMNER
GIVES PLEA FOR ME
ALTRUISTIC CALLINGS
Education, Medicine, Ministry
Termed Supreme Efforts
of Man
SELF-CONFIDENCE NEEBES
Speaker Is Ardent Supporter of Mill*
age Bill and Believes that
It Will Pass
A plea for the three altruistic vo
cations, those of an educator, a prac
ticer of medicine, and the minister,
was made by Bishop Walter Taylor
Sumner, Episcopal bishop of Oregon,
this morning in an address on “The
Supreme Question in Life—a Voca
tion'” at the student assembly in
Villard hall.
“It Is one thing to produce things,
and another to produce people” said
Bishop Sumner. “An educator has
the joy of producing people, which
is far greater than that of one in
another . occupation who receives a
greater amount of money.” <
Physicians Relieve Suffering
The Joy of relieving pain and phy
sical suffering was the main argu
ment brought forward for physicians
and nurses.
“Not every man is called to the
ministry,” the Bishop continued.
‘This vocation is not one for you
to seek—it must come - to you, and
you must be able to recognize the
call when it does come.
"But interest yourself in some par
ticular vocation,” lie said . “If medi
cine, take biology, chemistry, and
other such subjects. You will soon
discover whether you are fitted for
tills particular work.
Be a Leader
"Another thing, develop yourself
with ambition through a process of
self-confidence—^trough leadership.
Be a producer in your profession.”
One is not a quitter, if he changes
from one profession to another, ac
cording to Bishop Sumner. A man
may not find just what he is lotted
fpr until he has tried several kinds
of work.
The need of an education in pre
paration for life work was empha
sized by Bishop Sumner, who be
lieves the test of a vocation is the
success and happiness which may be
obtained through following some par
ticular one. A man should not chose
a profession because bis father fol
lowed that, or because he is com
pelled to take It, but should find
his place, he said.
Supports Millage Bill
Bishop Sumner is an ardent sup
porter of the millage hill, for edu
cation, and has been speaking for
it every place he goes, even advo
cating its paaage in his sermons.
When he couldn’t work it in with
his sermon, he Just stopped and said,
“Now I’m going to talk to you about
the miliage bill."
“I believe the millage will pass,”
said the bishop. “It certainly will
be a castastrophe if it does not.
On it’s passage depends the develop
ment of character in terms of leader
ship.”
A special feature of the assembly
was several musical selections by the
University quartet, composed ot
Warren Edwards, George Hopkins,
Curtiss Peterson and Herald White.
Great applause was occasioned by
tho announcement that the local
post of the American Legion had
gone on record as favoring the mill
age bill.
President Campbell asked that the
University ruling against shooting
the rapids in the river be strictly
observed, as there have been several
accidents caused through failure to
comply with the rule.
A brief roll call of the work done
in connection with the counties was
taken by Don Newbury, student
chairman of the campaign for the
millage bill. Mr. Newbury asked
that everyone on the campus attend
the special asembly tomorrow at
11 o’clock, in Villard hall. A special
message and charge in connection
with the campaign will be given out.
