p;iwt>w.*i “Shy” Huntington is Re-elected Coach ; Z ' ;-.V «\ ^ '• of Varsity Football for Coming Seasoii Aggie Spirit Undampened by Southern Defeats; Rival Teams Look Even MEN USED IN NORTH TO START AT 0. A. C. Frosh and Rooks iWill Battle In Eugene Friday and Saturday The two hardest games of the season for the varsity quintet are scheduled for this week-end at Corvallis, according to George M. Bolder, Oregon basketball coach. The Aggies are usually full of pep and enthusiasm over the possible prospects of beating Oregon, and the intense rivalry between the teams is not confined to football, both are putting forth all their efforts to win the basket ball games. The Aggies have so far failed to win any games in their conference schedule, losing six straight contests but their spirit is not dampened, according to the reports that 1000 students met the train which brought their defeated team back from California the first of the week. Both Stanford and California have fast teams this year and that the Aggies were defeated by thorn on their home courts could hardly be taken as an indication of the fact that the Aggies were weak this year. Dope Favors Oregon. Oregon has the advantage on the dope sheet so far as the Willamette games I are concerned, the lemon-yellow five having vanquished the Willamette team twice while the Aggies dropped two in a row to the Methodists. Oregon lost their first game of the season to the Multnomah club team in Portland while the Oregon Aggies went to Portland and defeated the Multnomah five. Coach Bolder will start his squad in on a stiff practice schedule at the Arm ory tonight, after a two-days lay-off and according to his present plans will also select a few additional men from the second string to be taken to Corvallis. It is his plan to take about 10 men to O. A. C., six of whom will be the men who made the northern trip while the additional four are yet to be selected. Captain Durno, Marc Latham, “Hunk” Latham, Chapman, Bellar, and Reinhart will make the trip, and in all probability, the same line-up which started against the teams in the north will face the Ag gie quintet. Team In Good Shape. No serious injuries were suffered by any members of the squad while on their taunt. The few minor bruises have been fixed up and the team will be in good physical condition to meet the Aggies.

Ralph Hoeber, of Portland, a junior in the economies department, has been chosen ns the University of Oregon rep resentative in the Old Line Oratorical Contest, to be held in Eugene on March IS. This contest, probably the oldest ora torical contest in the northwest, is held every year, in each of nine colleges in lotation. The contest was held in Ore gon in 1019, last year it was held in For est Grove, and this year the E. B. U. will entertain the contestants. John W. Carter is to represent the E. B. U. in the contest this year. The Old Line . Oratorical Contests have been in existence for about twenty years. During this time the University of Oregon has won nearly half the con tests. Among the winners are Carlton Spencer, in 1911; Walter L. Meyers, in 1016; Abe Rosenberg, in 1918; and Fred Coley, in 1920. A gold medal is given every year to the winner of this contest. SAID TO BE THRILLER Fred B. Smith, Business Man, Appeals to Students Frerf B. Smith, who will hold three live meetings on the University cam pus today has been awakening and thrilling the college students on the Northwest. Jde comes here from the University of Washington, Washington State College and the University of Idaho. He is to speak next at the Ore gon Agricultural College and then at California. Smith is said to be in a class by him self as a speaker to college students. He talks and believes in Christianity but judging from his writings lie has about as much use for an evangelist as the average college student has. He appeals to the rational rather than the emotional. He carries none of the regular evangelist’s tricks of the trade, no sob stuff about mother—no threats of hell or lazy promises of heaven—no scolding—no censuring of the joys of life. And yet he gets results and is liked and Relieved. Scores of decisions are made for Christianity after his visits and all discover a new anchorage of life. Fred B. Smith is a business man—a successful business man as the world judges for he is vice president of a na tional corporation, the .Tolins-Mansville Company. He insists that business can be, and must be Christianized. This first meeting will be the eleven o’clock assembly, the second for men only, at five at the “Y” hut and a gen eral mass meeting at seven at the “Y” hut. First “Oregon Pledge” Taken In 1912; Now a Tradition V "It is reported besides that he is go to request a pledge of every student Present that he will do his best to repay tlie state—for all that has been spent on him—iu g00(| WOrk and good eitizen This, in the Emerald of October was the first hint of what has n°" become an honored tradition of our school. Just thirteen days later “he,” who was ,0'ernor AVest, came to the University I a»d he did give the pledge, which he for mulated. to (100 students. Since then J n‘oie than seven thousand students^iave emuly sworn to stand by the state and the University. th^'CrV ‘'ear *n ^c^°^er bhe governor of e state comes to the University and once again the students, each year a greater number than the last, pledge their loyalty to the school and to the state. “As a student of the University which is maintained by the people of Oregon, I heartily acknowledge the obligation I owe. The opportunities open to me here for securing training, ideals and visions of life, 1 deeply appreciate, and regard as a sacred trust and do hereby pledge my honor that it shall be my most cherished purpose to render as bounti ful a return to the Oregon people and their posterity, in faithful and ardent de votion to the common good, as will be in my power. It shall be the aim of my life to labor for the higher good of an even greater commonwealth.” SEVEN YEAR NIEDIGItL COURSE PLAN WILL BE OFFKDTO FUCULTY Portland School of Medicine Has Approved New Arrangement DESIGNED TO UNITE WORK NOW DIVIDED Preparatory Course For High Schools Is Recommended ' By Committee Plans for a seven year course in medi cine, which is an attempt to unite the premedical and medical years and to ob literate the division commonly^existing between the premedical, preclinical and clinical studies, will be submitted to the faculty at a meeting on Thursday, Feb ruary 8, after having been approved without dissect by the faculty of the school of medicine in Portland on Janu ary 8. The course is designed to provide sound training in the fundamental medi cal sciences, and to provide opportu nities for the liberal cultivation of the social sciences and humanities. It will be effective for entering freshmen in the fall of 1921. Three Years College Work. Three years of this curriculum are to be taken in the college of literature. Science and the arts of the University in Eugene, under the department of zoology, and four in the medical school in Port land. As outlined in this curriculum, the first three years must be satisfactorily completed before admission to the fourth year, and, upon satisfactory completion of the first four years, all students are eligible for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. A mini mum of 135 term hours, plus six in phy sical training, are provided for during the first three years; and these, togeth er with the fourth year in the medical school itself, fulfill the requirements for the degrees, provided that the candidates for the Bachelor of Arts elect two con secutive years in one foreign language. The curriculum provides for the neces sary 30 hours in science for the Bachelor of Science degree. Candidates Must Finish. The requirements for these degrees must be satisfied before admission to the work of the sixth year. This applies also to students from other institutions who desire to enter the course in medi cine with advanced standing. Every can didate for the degree of Doctor of Medi cine must finish the seven year course, and while students properly qualified may be accepted from other institutions with advanced standing, the seventh year must be taken in the University of Ore gon Medical School.

University of California, Feb. 1. — Books from the lute Henry Morse Stephens’ private library amounting to approximately 12,250 volumes, many of which are unbound, have recently been turned over to the university library. Choice of Athletic Council Unanimous After Long Session u Nibs” Price, Recommended By Committee, Voted Down; Four Hours Spent In Delib erations; Salary Increase to be Given Mentor for Next Year. Charles “Shy” Huntington will be coach of varsity football next year. * This decision was reached by the athletic council after a four-hour sCMloH ' yesterday afternoon. Huntington was unanimously re-elected to the position he ins held for three years past, after the council had debated two hours apt) a. ialf in executive session, which was proceeded by an open meeting at which. petitions and views of various students were offered in an attempt to aid this rouncil in makiug its final decision. , : j ' Huntington will be offered an increase in salary for bis services during the omiug year, but there will be no contract arranged. In explaining this detail, Professor Howe, chairman of the athletic council said that Huntington’s poai* ion in the University was similar to that of any member of the faculty of tM University, and that no contract would be arranged. , Although reports of the executive session of the council are meagre. Pretty t sor Howe said that but one vote was taken, and that a unanimous vote of cob*' fidence had been given Coach Huntington * ! , S Central Employment Bureau Would do Away with Personal Touch, Say Deans of Oregon Oregon is not yet ready for a voca tional bureau which would centralize the work of the various school on the cam pus in placing their graduates in posi tions. Deans of all departments inter viewed are unauimous in their belief that students can be placed more economi cally, expeditiously, and advantageously under the present system whereby each school takes care of its own graduates. “We are not yet ready for such a localized system,” said Dean Dymeut when referring to the success of the vo cational bureau at the University of Washington. “Oregon is yet/a small j school, and can take care o^ its gradu | ates under the present system. The I different departments would rather place ' their own students thau turn them over to a placement bureau where they would be listed merely as numbers. Each de partment is interested in graduates turn ed out and is in contact with the sources of demand. The only advantage of such a centralized placement bureau would be that it would relieve to some extent the work of the departments already crowded for time.” No Advantage Seen. Doan Sheldon of the school of educa VSf* tion sees no advantage in a placement bureau. “I do not think any gain can be accomplished by such an innovation at present,” he said. “The placing of our graduates can be brought about more economically and expeditiously in the manner in which we now handle it.” Dean Sheldon said that a centralized placement bureau would relieve his de partment of much work, especially in the summer, but said that the demand for teachers now exceeds the supply. “Should hard times come arid more per sons take up the teaching profession such a bureau would be of great advantage to us,” said the denu of education. “As the University grows, it will undoubtedly re quire a more systematic provision for finding employment for its graduates.” Not Needed by Journalists. The centralized employment bureau would be an anomaly in its function to wards the school of journalism, accord ing to Dean Allen. “I know that the newspaper men of the state would never apply to such a bureau for trained jour nalists when they are so intimately ac quainted with me to call inc by my first (Continued on Page 4.) CLUB WILL PLAN DANCE Washington Students Urged to Attend Meeting Tonight. All Washington students out for the meeting of the Washington State Club this evepfng at 7:30. At tonight’s meet ing which will be held in the assembly room of the Oregon building, definite plans will be made for the dance to be given within the next two weeks. “We urge all students who come from Washington to be at the meeting” said “Doc” Braddock, president of the club. “It will be the last opportunity this term for them to join, and we are more than anxious that everyone will be there and get acquainted.” The club, which was recently organ ized, has about thirty “live wire” char ter members, and after tonight’s meet ing it is expected that practically every one of the 87 students who are register ed from Washington will belong. MORE PROFS SECURED California Expected to Have Large Summer Session. University of California, Feb. 1.—An ticipating an increased enrollment in summer session courses additional pro fessors from universities all over the United States have been secured to serve during the summer session, ac cording to an announcement made yes terday by Walter M. Hart, dean of the summer sessions. Dean Hart recently returned from au intercollegiate confer ence of summer session directors at Northwestern University. Among the prominent eastern edu cators secured for next summer are Professor Stewart Sherman, University of Illinois; Professor G. H. Gerould, Princeton; Professor Carleton Brown, University of Minnesota, and Professor Lough, New York University. WMJ w»wi uwmv mj « “Shy” was almost overcome when i4 heard the news. One of his dope friends called him up soon after thevkr* diet had been reached by the coinicU, and the Oregon mentor’s voice over.tlit wire was almost broken. He evidently could hardly believe that the dedaldn had been unanimous, for he asked If .M were really the truth. When assured that the decision was really unanimous. “Shy” was quiet for a moment, and then hung up the receiver. According to Professor Howe, chair* man of the council, the first indication of the stand of the council came when the report of the committee which had been named at the last meeting and given power to hunt a new coach,, whs voted down by the entire council. T|w committee recommended that the. cotU|* cil elect “Nibs "Price, at present fUMttt* ant. coach at the University of Califokr nia, as head coach of the University jOf Oregon. No contract had been mad,* with Price, and the vote waa merely 4a indication of the stand of the council oh Huntington. Then followed the U$Ml* mous vote of re-election for *‘8hy“ Huntington. Salary Not Anaouasad. The committee refused to give ont.the salary increase that was voted Huhttajl' ton. The executive council of the' asso ciated students has yet to ratify th* salary increase voted Huntington, but ft is probable that this will he done today. There seems to be no question but t^St the executive committee will appro** th* new salary, according to members of the body. Members of the athletic conned ad* mitted that student sentiment aroused, iu the lust few days did much to influence the council in its decision. Letters, tel** grains and petitions expressing sentiment both against the graduate coaching ays* tern and iu favor of it reached the coun cil through various means. The.coun&l made an effort to get as many views as they could before last night’s meeting according to members. Council Met at 4 p. m. The athletic council went into Motion at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon- Tjii final decision was reached a few minutes before eight. After a short executive session, a joint meeting of the athletic council and the executive council wttf held at which all petitions were pre sented, and members of the student body allowed to state their views. A pe tition from the business men of Eugene was first offered by Professor down, who said the petition had been placed tp his hands. Retny Cox then presented a (Continued on Page 4.)
