JUNIOR WEEK-END
DEAL weather, guests ar
riving on t lie campus,
student elections over
a ml tho strusH of cam
paign strategy relaxed I
all point, to the success
of Junior Week-end. Yell
something more in neces-j
nary to maxo me icsuviue*
are planned to bo the co-operation
of every student on the campus in
the program from first to last, not in
the letter but in the spirit of the day.
This Calls for more of real Oregon
spirit than the last few months have
seen, something of the atmosphere
of Homecoming day when spring days
and spring fancies had not appeared.
Tomorrow is the day of ail days
to show co-operation. Campus day
depends absolutely on each student.
Each man and woman must do his
part or the program cannot be suc
cessful. There is much work to be
accomplished tomorrow morning. The
complete committees were printed in
Tuesday night’s Emerald, lie sure to
llnd your name and report for duty
promptly. Worse things than cor
poral punishment await the man who
does not respond to the call. He
dishonors himself by showing he
hasn’t the true spirit. #
We must unite to make our visit
ors feel with us that Oregon Is the
best University in the country; we
must unite to impart to them the
love and loyalty which combine to
make Oregon spirit.

Flapjacks Will Be
Served From Real
Campfire by Miners
Did you notice three men—Ray
Van Horn, Deo Hertlein and Del
mar Powers—carrying about the
campus all day, brand new Pros
pectors’ hammers and wearing
pledge ribbons of red and white?
Did you wonder about the cause
and the significance of it all?
Well, these men were simply
fulfilling the pledge day order of
the Condon Club branch of the
Geological and Mining Society of
American Universities. They will
become upperclassmen next year
and have proved themselves eli
gible to membership by their gen
eral good scholarship on the Uni
versity campus and will be ini
tiated next Saturday.
Listen for the shots which will
be sounded on the campus Sat
urday morning at 9 o’clock. They
will lead you to a miner’s tent
and complete camping outfit.
Also, here will be found a miner
in typical red shirt, rough boots
and trousers and turned up hat,
bent low over a small fire, mak
ing flapjacks to be served to
members Qf the club and their
fortunate friends who happen to
be near.
$50Q WORTH OF HUMILIATION
SUFFERED, SAYS PROFESSOR
(Continued from page 1)
and defamatory statement printed
in the Emerald is:
“WILLAMETTE PROFS WIN
Faculty Tennis Meet Lost 2 to 1—
Larremore Takes Singles.”
The plaintiff alleges that the Uni
versity professors were not defeated
by the Willamette faculty but by the
Willamette varsity tennis team, and
the plaintiff charges that although
it is no disgrace to be beaten by the
Willamette varsity team it. is a dis
grace to be defeated by the Willam
ette faculty. Ho alleges that he has
been subjected to ridicule and humil
iation because of the printing of the
false statement in the Emerald.
Prior to the publication of this
statement the plaintiff alleges that
he received an offer of a remunera
tive and profitable position as coach
of a tennis team which he had de
cided to accept. However, with the
publishing of bis defeat by the Wil
lamette faculty the offer was with
drawn. As a result of this with
drawal the plaintiff charges that he
has been damaged to the amount of
$600. How many years’ salary this
is supposed to represent is not stated
in the complaint.
Other court officials besides the at
torneys have not yet been appointed.
BOB-TAILED DOG LEADS
PARTY THROUGH MINE
(Continued from page one)
the first level of the Black Butte
quicksilver mine, located 38 miles
south of Eugene, Saturday morning.
After reaching the first level of
the mine, some of the girls in the
party of 35 students said that they
thought it was a shame to leave the
poor dog alone on the first level. But
when the exploring party moved for
ward where Dr. Smith hoped to find
some cinnabar containing the quick
silver it was found that the care
taker’s dog was leading the crowd,
feeling his way carefully past the
pools of water and sniffing at the
entrance to the narrow dark man
holes. Mr. Caler explained that
“Bob” was better acquainted with
the mine than any person in the
party and was an adept at climbing
ladders.
Dr. Smith fignally located a pocket
of cinnabar and by a concentration
of the lights of the numerous can
dles carried by the students he
pointed out the irregular fissures in
the rocks and explained how vol
canic gases carrying mercury and
sulphur had forced their way up
from the interior of the earth. The
mercury and sulphur, amalgamated
with other minerals, cooled and were
deposited in the scattered pockets.
The excavations of the Black Butte
quicksilver mine consist of seven
miles of tunnels on three different
levels near the summit of a tim
bered butte 2350 feet above sea
level and 1600 feet above the place
where the ore was smeltered. The
crushed rocks were sent from the
mouth ow the tunnel down to the
smelter nearly a mile below in buc
kets strung on a continuous cable.
The ore was roasted in furnaces and
the gases were cooled in pipes spray
ed by cold water. The sulphur pass
ed out as a gas while hte mercury
liquified and was collected in steel
flasks weighing 0 pounds apiece.
The mine has not been in opera
tion since the war. Mr. Caler stated
that quicksilver is worth about a dol
lar a pound but there is no demand
for it at present.
Although the overhanging rocks in
the great excavations have a menac
ing appearance for the uninitiated,
Mr. Caler said that to liis knowledge
no one had ever been hurt in the
mine. “The smelting process is the
more dangerous,” he added, “since
the pure quicksilver is poisonous.”
The 35 geology students and then
instructors traveled from Eugene to
Black Butte in four cars and a pas
senger bus. The mine and smelter
were visited before noon, and after
descending the nearly perpendicular
butte in less than 10 minutes, the
geologists ate their ulncheon in the
grassy streets of the old mining
town.
