NO. 68. VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, FRIDAY. JANUARY ?.J, 1921. ,STITE LfMK TO NUMBER OF 16 GUESTS SATURDAY Party to Reach Campus for Assembly at 11; Luncheon at Hendricks Follows. PROGRAM for special ASSEMBLY ARRANGED Dean Straub Going to Salem To Escort Visitors; Ore gon Greeting Assured. A real old Oregon welcome awaits the legislative party which will visit the Uni versity campus tomorrow. Arrange ments to jjreet' the visitors in proper style were under way yesterday, and will continue today. Word received in the city yesterday from W. T. Gordon, representative from Laive county, that the party would num ber 75. The campus arrangements, therefore, will be made on the basis of this number. The program for the special assembly is now virtually complete. "With the ar rival of the visitors at 10:45 they will be hurried to the campus, and the as sembly in Yillard hall will start prompt ly at 11. President Campbell will pre side. The address of welcome for Eu gene and the chamber of commerce will be delivered by IT. O. Bowen, president of the chamber. Carlton Savage, presi dent of the student body, will deliver the welcome address for the students. Sev eral of the lawmakers will make short addresses. Music for the occasion will be given ivy the Girls’ Glee club and. un der the direction of L. A. Coon, by the University band. The luncheon at Hendricks hall will follow the assembly. At the close of the luncheon the visitors will be escorted by students and faculty guides over the campus to inspect, the old and new build ings. It will be the aim of the hosts to show the visitors what lias been done with the money afforded by the millage tax funds and also what has yet to lie accomplished by the use of such moneys. After an hour and a half or two hours of inspection the visitors will be taken back down town to bo the guests of the chamber of commerce. Dean Straub will leave for Salem at. noon today and will accompany the visit ors here on the train tomorrow morning. Badges of identification will be given tile visitors, and it is the hope of the com mittee on arrangements that the law makers will become acquainted not only with the University plant and the Univer sity needs, but with the students who so largely make up the life of the institu- j tion. President Carlton Savage urges as 1 duty ou every Oregon student attendance at the big assembly tomorrow and hos pitality of the real Oregon brand to ward the distinguished visitors. 13 ON PROBATION FOR CUTTING. Thirteen men at the University of Illi nois were voted on probation for cutting, by tile council of administration. TWENTY POSTS ISSUED SO FAR BY REGISTRAR Number Shows Decrease Since Last Term; Students Studying More Seriously. Only L’O posts have been sent out by the registrar’s office this term; this number shows a decrease since last term. Two reasons account for this, according to Mrs. Fitch of the registrar’s office. First the students are studying more seriously than they did before and in the second place the faculty realizes the seriousness of the post. Although the post is a warning that the student is doing failing work the pro fessors are not. repaired to send them. Mrs. Fitch said that the post was really a courtesy shown by the professor to the student. There has been a misunderstanding on the part of those who believed that two posts in any subject would put a student on probation. A student may receive two posts in the same subject, in fact, a stu- j dent may fail in one subject without be-1 ing put on probation. But two posts in different subjects will put a student on ^probation. Limit Set at $300; Elaborate Decorations Barred. In keeping with the desire of (he T'ni versity to cut down on ail expenses pos sible tins year, especially those in con nection with the giving, of college dances, and at the special request, of the student council and Dean Straub, the freshman classes planning a frosli glee which will be more economical than it has been in past years. As an outlay of about $600. which was the cost of last year’s glee, is not in keeping with the existing ne cessity for conservation of funds, the amount to be spent on the dance this year has been set at $300. The music and program of dances will be up to standard, as a ten-piece orches tra has been procured. The only item which will be eliminated, according to the committee, is that of elaborate and ex pensive decorations. As there are other expenses, which are unavoidable in con nection with a dance of this kind, and which will equal the amount of money to be used, this is the only thing which could be done away with. A good feature dance will be worked up, good punch will be provided for the thirsty, and the committee promises that the floor will be “slick.” The frosh class is not attempting to offer excuses Ito the student body for this departure from custom. They are attempting to conserve where they can, and still provide all the essentials of a good dance. They hope to put on the glee without special assessment, as has usually been found necessary, and the committee in charge, or the class as a whole, cannot be blamed for the de ficiency in decorations. Plans for the dance are nearly com plete, and the program will be published during the first part of next week. 511 Students Pledge $1123 For Foreign Relief; Several Donations from $16 to $35 As a result of the plan devised by the Student Council for the raising of funds in the campaign for foreign relief, $112f> was pledged at assembly yesterday by •’ll students, Norton Winnard, chair man of the committee in charge of the "01'k reported. Winnard said there Would be no further plans made until after a meeting of the committee, which wdl be called for the earliest possible time. Arrangements have been made where 5 “'ll students who didn’t have the op portunity to contribute may drop their subscription cards into a bo* to be Placed in front of the library. This plea for funds comes incidentlv a resi'lt of Sherwood Eddy’s visit to the 0l'pgon campus. Although Mr. Eddy Ume here primarially to give a scries f futures on social and economic prob ' t|ns *ip also suggested that something s f>(> done for the thousands of I Jr'inS students in Europe. After the mn.iuet given in Mr. Eddy’s honor the ent council took the matter of a campaign under advisement and decided that there were two plans open. Either they could stage a drive, which the cam pus probably wouldn’t support, or they could trust to a special assembly and voluntary subscriptions as a means of raising the desired amount. So far the council feels that they have been justified in following the plan adopted at the special assembly. An other encouraging thing is the number of larger donations from students and or ganizations. Winnard reports that a number of subscriptions from -S10 to have been given, lie asked that the Emerald express, for the committee, their thanks and vast appreciation for the real support which the students have given this affair, and impress upon their minds that this is in no sense to be regarded as a drive. It is being carried on under the name of the Herbert Hoov er Campaign. The committee behind this thing con l sists of: 'Norton Winnard, Lyle Bar | tholomew, Ruth Flegal, Lyle Bryson. 1 Vivian Chandler and Roy Veatch. Dr. Torrey Tells of Terrible Conditions Present at Foreign Colleges. EXPLAINS A.R.A. DRIVE TO RELIEVE SUFFERING Dean Sheldon, Carlton Savage and Lyle Bartholomew A d dress Assembly. “Thorp nrp 100,000 students in Euro pean eollogos still struggling against starvation, disease and bitter oohl, against lack of clothing, against lack of .every possible comfort.” said Dr. Harry Beal Torrey at assembly Thursday morning, in a stirring appeal to the stu dents of Oregon to aid in the American Relief Arministration drive. “’I hey are making a very manful fight for something that we as students hold peculiarly dear, and they have got to be saved if we are to preserve civilization in that part of flic world.” he said. “The civilization in Europe depends upon them. They are struggling to *;eep alive the civilization of the country in which they live.” Many May Starve. Eighty out of every hundred do not have enough of an income to keep them at a minimum required for subsistence, said Dr. Torrey. Twenty out of every hundred can continue to live, and the rest will speedily die if relief does not come soon. They have only fragments of clothing. For breakfast they have only black bread and soup, and the same thing for the only other meal of the day. One-third of the students of Europe are on this fare. Nearly fifty per cent of the /students are working, hut their compen sation is very small. A teacher, for in stance, would have to give one thousand lessons in order to earn enough to buy a dress and a pair of shoes. Sugar is 05 times as high as it was before the war; flour. 55 times as high, and cloth ing 50 to 00 times as expensive. Many Die hi »senna. In Vienna about 85 per cent of the students are dying with tuberculosis, due to cold, exposure, and lack of proper nourishment, lie went on to say. In Budapest there were three times as many sick student? in 1020 as there were in 1014, with less students in school. “These students arc our particular care,” said Dr. Torrey. “They are our brothers in spirit. They have our am bitions, our hope, our aspirations, our life, our habits. They are ours, and we of all people in the world should under stand them and sympathize with them. They are not different from us. Tf we are unworthy, so are they; if we are not unworthy, neither are they.” Hoover Behind Drive. If. D. Sheldon, dean of the solumi education, fold of a letter he had re ceived from a Herman professor, stating that over one-half of the students were without adequate clothing, and that from five to ten per cent had committed sui cide from sheer poverty. To further justify the drive. Dean Sheldon said that he had gone to college with Herbert Hoover, who is at the head of the relief drive, and that he knew Mr. Hoover would lend his support only to a praiseworthy cause. Lyle Bartholomew, in a few words, urged the students to giro all they could to this movement. Ten dollars, he said, would keep a student over winter. Snvaqe Announces Assembly. Carlton Savage announced that mem bers of the state legislature would visit the campus Saturday, and that, a special assembly would be held at 11 o’clock. Tie also dropped a hint that if every student were present, the visitors might notice the University’s need of a new auditor ium. BOXING BOUTS TONIGHT Oregon to Meet Multnomah in First Meet of Season. The first boxing meet of the year will be hold in Portland Friday night when four Oregon fighters will meet, the chosen pugilists of the Multnomah Club. Charlie Dawson, boxing trainer will leave this morning with four men who will represent Oregon. These men and their respective weights ai”. . Charles Lucas, 115; A. C. Merrifield, 125; 'Tarry Culvertson, 133; and Tom V.'yatt, 145. The men have been training for s um I time and according to Dawson are in good condition.

The wealth of real interpretation placed the play on a place far removed from the tinge of amateur work. From the fair Julia to the queer Launce, the players lost themselves in their roles with an aptness that transported their audience, to the sunny realms of Italy, where the scene is laid. Characteristic of the productions of the Company the scenic and lighting ef fects were exceptional and the costuming above reproach. The numerous scenes, necessitated in the presentation of a Shakespearean play, were handled with creditable promptitude. Fergus Reddie proved his claim to a place in dramatic art in his interpreta tion of Launce, an idiotic servant. Dif ficult of portrayal, this character found, a ready response through its excellent presentation. Marian Taylor and Marion Gilstrap were charming in the characters of Julia and Silvia, in love with the two gentle men of Verona. Norvel Thompson’s clever acting in the role of Protons found a sterling counterpart in George Steams’ presentation of the character Valentine. One of the features of the play was Claire Keeney in the part of Speed, a half-wit servant. Keeny, with a role of considerable possibility, acquitted him self well, dominating every scene in which he appeared. Doris Pittinger and Helen Madden fit ted cleverly into the retiring parts of the gentlewomen of the two ladies. The parts of the elderly men, Antonio, and -the Duke of Milan were well cast in Vern Fudge and Manford 'Michael. Reuel Moore in in the part of Thurio, the pa ternally favored suitor of Silvia, formed a clever contrast to the ardent wooing of the girls’ two lovers. Clifford Ken doll in the role of secretary to the fath er of Antonio did his work well. PeFord Wallace, John Canoles and Reuben Goffriere took the parts of the three outlaws. Ted Baker was cast as the host of the Milan Inn and Victor Sether as Sir Eglamotir, a friend of Silvia’s. The “Two Gentlemen of Verona” will be presented at Guild hall again to ; morrow night. The next play to be pro duced by the Company will be the “Tale of Two Cities,” starting February 24 with Fergus Reddie and Charlotte Ban field in the leading roles.

No New Light Thrown on Coach Situation By Coun cil Members. PETITION OF FOOTBALL MEN HAS 35 SIGNATURES Saelm Alumni Re-aroused By Developments. Says Cor respondent. Doan John F. Bovard, A. It. Tiffany, and Doan Walker, members of the ath letic council who went to F.erkeley to look over prospective candidates for the position as head coach of football at the University, returned to Eugene yester day. but refuse to throw any light on the situation. 'I'hr three members of the council refuse to talk or to confirm re ports that they had made any offer to "Nibs” Price while in the south. Dean Bovaril said that he had made a complete report to Professor Howe, president of the athletic council, and that he was unable to give 'out any informa tion. Professor Ilowe said that nothing definite had been done, and restated his assertion that final action would he taken in a few days, as soon as the athletic council holds a meeting. Dean Walker refused to talk, except, to say that he was apprised that the ac tions of the athletic council had leaked out. Tie also voiced his disapproval of the publicity given the affair. The list, of signatures to the petition circulated among football men by Carl Mnutz. three year letter man in football, has grown to a total of thirty-five. Those who have signed the petition lately are: Carl VonderAhe, Tonis VHinsmoro, Har old Kirtley. Fred Dunn, Jack Meyers. Sd Warrens, Kstel N. Akers, Raimey Rush, dial Chainpman, Terr.v Johnson, Ed Ed lunds, and Raymond IfeKeown. Several applications for the position as roach are said to have been received liy the University since announcement of the nthfrtie council proceedings have been made public. No confirmation has yet been made however. A petition which will recommend to the athletic council that coach Hunting ton lie retained will be circulated among th<* business men of Eugene this morn ing. according to W. It. Wallace and E. W. Morrell, downtown business men. It. is proposed to submit the petition to the athletic council before the meeting which is expected to bo held next week. Alumni throughout the state are begin ning to voice their opinions on the sit uation. Raul Farrington, Emerald cor respondent at Salem has sent the fol lowing' article to the Emerald. Salem, Or. Jail. I!7. Closed doors may be a boon to those engaged in the launch ing of a scheme which might otherwise be frustrated, but the secrecy plan of those is scarcely laudable. Coach “Shy” Huntington has accom plished as' much as might be expected from any athletic conch operating under similar circumstances. Oobie and Eezdek may be good men and true, and are undoubtedly excellent football coaches, but their demands for railroad president’s salaries render them well-nigh unavailable. And lesser lights, such ns “\.ibs” Price are not to be con sidered. Mildly speaking, such appears to be the attitude of prominent alumni in Sah em who today bitterly scored the Fni (varsity athletic council’s procedure in negotiating for a new coach and de nounced the “star chamber” sessions in I which plans for the hiring of a new mentor are said to have been hatched. I Such men as Lawrence Harris, su* I promo court judge; Walter Winslow, ! well known attorney; George W. Hug, I superintendent of schools. Arthur Geary, j former Oregon graduate manager, and | Harry X.
