Sociologist Points Out Peril
of Selfishness to
a Country.
RELIGION IMPORTANT
CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE
Students Said to See Need for
Offering Help of More
Practical Nature.
Education, combined with an intelli
gent and conscientious following of the
teachings of Jesus Christ, is the thing
that would, if radicalism ever threatened
to destroy the existing social fabric, save
the people of the globe from'that move
ment, This is the opinion of Dr. Philip
A. Parsons, professor of sociology of
the University, as expressed in his ad
dress to the Associated Students at tile
regular weekly assembly held yesterday
iu Villard hall.
People know too much now. lie said,
to ever succumb wholly to such a
scheme of government as the syndical
ists, the I. W. W., the Bolshevists, or
whatnot, might suggest to take the
place of the already existing forms of
rule. If they follow such a plan, he
said, it would be with their eyes open.
Destructive Forces Losing. ^
Science how lias such a wide knowl
edge of means of destroying any forces
that might threaten civilization, such
forces would not stand much show' of
succeeding, a motive too, would have
to he shown by the aggressors . if
they hoped to recruit any following, as
no army will fight earnestly without
some compelling desire to fulfill.
The older civilizations—the Babylon
ian. the Roman, and others — passed
away because of the weakening influ
ence exerted by the exploitation of the
so-called upper classes. They could not.
because of the weakenejl national mo
rale, withstand the onslaughts of ag
gressors. The backbone of the nation,
the common people, had nothing to fight
for and were not much concerned about
who governed their country.
Wealth Less Centralized.
Today, lie continued, things are dif
ferent. The government is not in the
hands of the few. and the wealth of the
country is not as centralized as former
ly. It is getting to be more so every
day. The average man is finite familiar
with things as they are happening in the
financial.' industrial and political capi
tals of the country, and has an interest,
a deep interest, in what is goiqg on now
aud what is planned for the future.
Each generation, as it grows up, is
learning other things than mere fortune
necking, lie said. A short time ago as
"no generation ago, he pointed out. the
average youth was taught the world was
a battle ground, and that lie must trani
1‘ie on his fellow man in, order to attain
that end lie sought, whether it he riches,
power, fame, or something else.
More Desire to Help.
Those whom lie termed the “future
millionaires” of the country are now be
ing shown that, there are other ways of
living besides selfishly enjoying the fruits

RARTY TONIGHT
Acquaintance Party Scheduled for Eight
o'clock. Promises To Be Live
ly Affair.
Tlie nmiuul freshman acquaintance
party, scheduled for Saturday night,
October 1G at S o’clock, will be the live
liest affair of its kind ever held on the
campus, if the plans of the committees
in charge materialize. President Camp
bell and Dean Straub will interrupt the
jazz just long enough to offer a little ad
vice and to urge everyone to smile at
everyone else and get acquainted.
Claire Wallace, president of the class,
has appointed the folloiwng to act; as
chairmen of committees: Rodney Lang
ois, punch; Edna Piiishman. entertain
ment. and Walter Holman, music. Ac
cording to Wallace, the punch will be
the “real thing,” and the music the best
to be had.
Dates and' party clothes are taboo.
This, when translated, means that it
will be a strictly informal get-together.
Girls are to depart from custom, and
come without escorts.

Later Date Cannot Be Ob

it will be held Saturday night of this
| week. This was decided at‘a “peppy”
i meeting of the Seniors this afternoon.
| A committee has been appointed to in
vestigate the date ayailable for this
party, and a definite announcement will
I be made in Saturday’s Emerald, so all
Seniors are requested to watch this
| issue of the Emerald closely. If it is to
[ be held Saturday of this week all seniors
j are asked to be on hand for this ac
quaintance party.
Alice Thurston was elected vice presi
dent. and P.ob Earl treasurer of the class.

-GIRLS’ OREGON CLUB
TO ELECT OFFICERS
Two Vacincies To Be Filled, Debate
and Basketball Teams To Be
Organized
i
The Oregon Club of the Woman’s
League will hold its first meeting for
this year in Villard hall at 5 o'clock
Monday. The purpose of the meeting
will he reorganization and the election
of officers to fill the places of those
who failed to return to school.
- 'Membership in this club is open to all
women on the campus who do not belong
to a residence organization. The club
might be called the sister organization to
jthe men’s Oregop Club. The two clubs
are run in much the same manner.
Dean Fox will be the principal speaker
I at the meeting. Jessie Todd, president.
1 and Elsie Hildebrand, vice president, of
| the organization last year, have both
j failed to return to the University this
term, so one of the important features
of the meeting will he the election of of
ficers.
It is for the purpose of giving girls not
belonging to other organizations an op
portunity to enter these contests that
the club is to be formed.
; Freslunan co-eds at Maryland are
called “Jtabbits.”

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SURE TO BEIDOPTEO
Oregon Senator, Candidate for
Re-election, Addresses
Student Audience.
SENATE MAJORITY FOR
INTERNATIONAL PACT
Countries’ Financial Condi
tion Discussed; Democrat
ic Club Is Urged.
No matter which presidential candi
date is elected the. league of nations
will be adopted although probably not
in its present form, according to Senator
George E. Chamberlain, who addressed
a meeting of students in the Oregon
building last night.
The people of America want a league
of nations and Senator Chamberlain be
lieves that its immediate adoption, in
some form, is the thing of greatest im
portance before the American people to
day.
That the ratification of the league
ever got into polities was considered un
fortunate by the senator, who stated that
he had done all in his power to secure
its approval. The people of America
hope that there will be no more war, but
whether or not the league will accom
plish the result remains to be seen.
The majority of the senate arc in
favor of some form of a league, accord
ing to the senator, but' opinions on the
reservations are so divided that it is
very doubtful if the present league will
ever be adopted. -x
Senator Chamberlain emphasized the
part which the younger generation would
be compelled to take in the solution of
problems arising from the war and re
construction, and urged young people to
prepare themselves to the utmost de
gree. He said that congress is respon
sible for the immediato*#olution of the
problem, but that very soon the young
people of America would shoulder Un
burdens of government.
The fluctuation of monetary standards
may compel America to stop exporting,
and this effect is already being felt, said
Senator Chamberlain in discussing Amer
ica’s financial condition. He spoke of
the change of America from a debtor to
a creditor nation.
Senator Chamberlain was introduced
by Dr. B. C. Clark, of the history de
partment of the University, and spoke to
a small crowd of students and faculty,
before his s.peecli at the court-house at
eight o'clock.
Dr. Clark announced that a democratic
club would probably be formed in the fu
ture.
FIRST-BLOOD SCORED
IN CAMPUS POLITICS
Journalist Decorate “Shack” With Cam
paign Literature and Candidates
Pictures.
Tlie first signs of a bitter campus
struggle over national politics have
broken out. The journalism “shack” is
the first place to experience a manifes
tation of the old time partisan spirit
that was formerly aroused by campaign
eider and torch light processions.
The fun began d’hen an enthusiastic
republican pasted up a Ilarding poster
on the “shack’s” door. In retaliation
the democratic element secured a number
of Cox and Roosevelt pictures and dec
orated the windows of the Emerald of
fice with them. *
Not content with gumming up the win
dows with posters, the enthusiastic
Bourbons pasted a large “Cox and
Free Beer” glogan under the candidate’s
photograph. This popular war cry last
ed only as long as it. took for the prohi
bition representative to discover it and
tear it down.
Before the socialists had a chance to
advertise their wares the janitor issued
an ultimatum to the effect that no more
window decorating would be tolerated.
He had to wash the windows, at any
rate, so the “shack” will at least have
clean w’indow panes until dust again
flies in the spring, all of which goes to
prove that it’s a poor election that docs
nobody good.
HOW ABOUT IT?
Yell Leader Keeney Upbraids Students For
Poor Showing in Wednesday’s Yell
Practice; Thirty Frosh Out.
“When you can got more men out for
rooter practice than we have out for
football I’ll talk to them,” replied Bill
Hayward when asked if he would say a
few words to the rooterfs at yell practice
Wednesday evening.
Notwithstanding the fact that we an
nounced at the beginning of the year that
every Wednesday evening would be set
aside for the purpose of practicing yells,
and that a notice of the time and place
of practice was announced at the head
of Wednesday morning's Emerald and
on the bulletin board in front of the
library, probably a scant hundred re
sponded to the call. A casual observer
of that practice might well be justified
in observing that the Varsity Yell Staff
held a very good Secret Practices
Is that the old-time Oregon Spirit? Is
that the kind of support that will en
courage Oregon’s Warriors to again
smear up a perfectly clean field with an
O. A. C. team? IIow dpes any one of
those warriors feel when he spends
every evening of the season fighting that
victories may be realized, when he knows
that the members of . the Student Body
haven’t enough interest in him, in the
team, in the outcome of the season, or
cnougli honest-to-goodness school patri
otism to devote an hour or an hour and a
half of their time, a week, to learning
the yells, or learning how to play the
tunes that will be an inspiration to him
in the time when it is most needed?
Someone has advanced the kind and
consoling belief that, we will have no
trouble in arousing enough School Pa
triotism to grant us a big turnout for the
games, both in the rooter’s section and
in the band.
That’s all very good, an we’ll sure be
tickled to death to have you there, but
what kind of a showing is our rooting
section and our baud going to make
against larger institutions such as Wash
ington and O. A. C?
Sonic people have the idea that if they
know the yells and songs and come out
to the games, that their mission is en
tirely completed. That is not so! Real
Rooting is done by individuals yelling as
I a body, not as a body yelling as individ
| iials, and this state of affairs cannot be
1 reached without practice.
Special arrangements were made with
the coaching staff, whereby the team
[ would be allowed on the new field fort a
' short time Wednesday evening so that
they might witness the yell practice and
the Student Body might view their work,
j They were greeted with a turn-out of
about a hundred rooters and a. fifteen
| piece band. That is not only shameful,
but disgraceful.
What’s the matter?
By actual count there were thirty
^ green caps in evidence. Are the organ
izations of the campus adoptiug the
right methods of instilling Oregon Spirit
into the youngsters? Alright then, let’s
see you snap!
There are about one thousand men
registered. With the right, amount of
co-operation and hard work we can be
come known as Oregon’s “Thundering
Thousand.” LET’S GO!
According to the present schedule we
can have but one more chance to get to
gether before the Idaho game, and that
will be WEDNESDAY (OCT. 30) AT
4:30 P. M. ON KINCAID FIELD.

MEM NEWS TEST
WON OT1923 CLASS
Revised QuS^ May Be Given
Scribes This Year.
Professor Max Freyd, wlio devised the
])syehological test for journalistic ability,
to which all the local journalism students
submitted last year, writes Dean Allen
that he has u better, revised test, which
lie would like to have tried out on this
campus in the near future. Professor
Freyd is now on the faculty of the Car
negie Institute of Technology at Pitts
burgh.
Last year’s tests were given in many
Universities. At the University of Cali
fornia the winner was Dorothy Bennett,
a Freshman girl, and the showing she
made led to her being employed by the
San Francisco Examiner, to write a
series of feature stories, which the
Hearst pajier runs under a by-line dis
playing Miss Bennett as the winner of
the “test for super-journalists.”
At Oregon last year, Fred Guyon, also I
a freshman, was the winner, but no met
ropolitan paper has yet secured his ser
vices.
Dean Allen refused last year to give
out the names of the freshman winners
because lie believes that too much public
ity is bad for freshmen. The best fresh
men in the order of their rank were:
Fred Gtiyon, Earnest A. Jticht.er, Floyd
Maxwell, tied with Charles Gratke, Inez
E. King. Herbert Seheidt, Margaret
Scott.
Incidentally, the freshmen beat, the
Sophomores, which, according to Dean
Allen’s theory would have been particu
larly bad medicine to reveal. It is now
made public for the first time.
NEW INSTRUCTOR AT R. 0. T. C.
Sergeant Edward Conyers, of Van
couver Barracks, Washington, will soon
join the Military Department here as an
instructor according to advices from that
quarter yesterday. A number of new
non-commissioned officers in the 1’. O.
T. C. will be selected and their names
announced in the near future, by the
members of the military committee.
FROSH UNO VHRSITY
TO MIX i MIN
SATURDAY MORNING
Game to be Flayed in Regular
Style on New Field
Near Hayward.
NEITHER TEAM YET
DEFINITELY PICKED
Competition Is Keen Among
Men of First String for
Backfield Positions.
Student funs will l>c treated to a rare
football game Saturday morning when
Ooach Bartlett’s Frosh eleven will be
pitted against the Varsity for the first
time this season. No announcement >as
to line-up has been made by either
Conch Huntington of the Varsity or
Coach Bartlett but there will be plenty
of brawn on the frosh eleven according
to the present indications and it will
be up to the Varsity to put on a regular
battle. s
On account of a number of the Var
sity plnytrs wishing to attend the O.. A.,
(’.-Multnomah Club game in Corvallis
Saturday afternoon, the Varsity-Froph
game will begin at 10 o’clock Saturday
morning and will he played on the new
practice field near Hayward. Accord
ing to Coach Huntington the game will
be played in regular game style and if
the Frosh have anything on the bfcll
this year they will be given a change to
show it.
“Spike’1 Will ProbaMy Punt.
The Varsity line-up will be shifted
slightly from that which started thf
game agninst Multnomah /last weeki
from information given out by Coach
Huntington last night, although pll the
players who took part in the Multnomah
game will no doubt be in the line-up at
some time or other during the morning.
“Spike” Leslie will in all probability
do the punting in the game, providing
any punts are necessary. “Spike” has
been making a good average in booting
the ball the past week and Coach Hiint
ington is well pleased with his work, he
will probably be groomed for the kick
ing job in the conference games if he
can keep up his present pace. “Nish”
Chapman who proved to be one of tjii
fastest men on Coach Huntington's hack
field last year is out agoin in a suit and
will probably get his initial workout with
the lemon-yeiiow first stringers in the
Frosh game Saturday. “Nish” got his
letter last year and played in every
game at some period. He played the en
tire Idaho game last season.
Lettermen Out for Baokfiuld.
“Brandy” Brandcnberg also will get
his first whirl at scrimmage this we«ti
iiMhe Frosh game according to ’Huntingr
ton. “Brandy” had a little hard luck
this summer in getting his ankle broken
and has been kept off the squad so far
this season. The trainers feci that be
has sufficiently recovered however to
give him a chance at a scrimmage work
out.
The addition of Brandcnberg and
Chapman to the eligible list for a back
field position makes the competition
still more keen for a berth. Three of
last, vetn’s letter men are now out for a
baekfield berth, “Jake” Jaeobberger,
Chapman and Brandenberg. They are
going up against a hard battle for their
places however, as the work of Hill,
Blake, King, Mead and Hoisington in
the Multnomah game and in' the recent
scrimmage workouts has shown that
they are not to be overlooked in the se
lection of the backfield this year.
