field with 2.5)2 and Heta Theta Pi at the
bottom with 4.32 the tri-yearly an
nouncement eoneerning house grades w'as
made yesterday at the registrar’s of
fice.
The tightening up of the scholarship
requirements is shown in the general j
average which is only 3.(505 as compared |
with 3.52 for the spring term and 3.42 /
for the winter term last year.
The average for men’s houses is 3.0
as compared with 3.31 for women’s
houses. Women’s averages last spring
were 3.27 and the men's. 3.74.
Men’s Houses Low.
The fact that the first*men’s house to!
appear on. the list is down in tenth
place seems to indicate that house rules
are a good thing scholastically. .Sev
eral houses among the fraternities re
port that stronger rules will be enforced
in regard to grades than ever before.
University officials report that the
work done during the fall term was just
as good quality as before but the fact
that the new system has -made it harder
to obtain high grades is the cause of the
downfall of the general average.
Averages were obtained by tlie follow
ing system: Honors counted zero; one
as one; two as two; three as three;
four as four; five as five; condition a.s
six; failure as seven.
Men's houses slipped down the scale
much worse than, the girls as last term

YE TOY GOOD SPORT
SAY SIGMA NU MEN
Deceased Cook Leaves Life Savings To
Countryman Student In San
Diego. *
T lie life savings of \ <• Toy, Chinese
Freemason member of the Otti King
tong and for the last five years cook at
the Sigma Xu fraternity, were left to
a young student, a fellow-countryman,
who is studying in a school at San Diego,
California, to become a missionary. This
fact became known following the death
of Ye Toy last. Friday. The giving of
the money, which ajnounted to $150,
and the fact- that. i£oy used to sing
church hymns frequently as he worked,
have led to the*'3 belief that lie was a
Christian.
“He was a good sport,” said one of
the Sigma Xu men, yesterday as he re
lated in a low voice the few facts known
about the deceased cook. “He was the
most devoted cook we ever had. He
was considerate about our welfare and
was always trying to save in order to
cut down our house expenses.” »
Toy, whose funeral was attended by
nearly every Chinaman in Eugene, and
by milkmen and icemen with whom he
had business dealings at the rear door
of the fraternity house, was 53 years
old. He came to this country with his
uncle when he was seven years of age.
During his residence in the United States,
he roughed it in early-day mining camps,
owned a restaurant in Ashland and lived
in San Francisco for many years. He
had been cook at the Sigma Xu house
since 1916.
The range of Toy’s acquaintances was
not limited to the Sigma Xu house. At
times when he would be down-town with
out money he would drop into Obak’s
cigar store and ask the proprietor to
advance him a few dollars. “Gimme
twenty-five dollars.” he would say. “Pay
you back byemby.” And he always got
his request.

Meeting of State
Teachers.
Dean H. D. Sheldon of the school of
education lias been elected chairman of
the committee appointed by the State
Teachers’ Association to select sub
jects for investigation ,at the next an
nual meeting. About 2000 teachers at
tended the convention, which is held in
Portland during the Christmas holidays
every year.
The committee on investigations,
which reports at each annual meeting,

subjects as teachers’ salaries, pensions,
and tenure, and such problems as thrift
in schools, and retardation of school
children. The committee for this year
consists of: Dean H. D. Sheldon, chair
man; Superintendent K. P. Kirk, of The
Dalles; Miss Katharine Arbuthnot, of
Monmouth Normal School; Miss Susan

All “O” Sweaters Worn To
day; Order Elects Officers
|
Today is “Letter Day” on the campus,
"hii’h means that every large blue
sweater with a lemon-yellow “O” in front
"■dl be worn by its owner. Such was
the decision of the “Order of the O” at
a meeting last night when re-organiza
tion took place.
"Spike” Leslie, two year letterman in
football is the newly elected president,
the other officers which were elected
are: ^ ice president, Francis Bellar;
secretary-treasurer, John Houston, and
sergeant-at arms, “Scotty” Strachan.
l.very member of the “Order of the
will meet in front of the library this
morning and march down “Hello” lane
to assembly. It is planned to make
1-etter Day” a permanent institution.
Initiation of the new letter men into
tiie athletic order will take place a week
ft om I riday on the occasion of the first
basketball game with O. A. C. At that
lime the Armory will be the scene of the
application of the famous “Oregon per
suader,” and other means of impressing
upon the neophytes the gravity of the
situation.
A complete reorganization has taken
place, and the wearers of the big “O”
are to take upon themselves some of the
responsibilities of the maintenance of
the Oregon traditions.
The organization will co-operate with
Fra-tra-co, or freshman traditions com
mittee in the enforcement of some of
the oft forgotten Oregon customs.
Henceforth when the brilliant young
high school star walks the paths of the
University campus, with a prep school
letter as an adornment the “Order of
the O” will make itself evident.
Plans for a dance to be given in the
near future were made, and committees,
appointed to cover the details.
It is planned to assist the University
in the matter of the entertainment of
members of visiting athletic teams: as
the members of this organization are
better acquainted with these men than
anyone else.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
BEING ARMED BE
GRADUATE MANAGER
Settlement of Controversy
Over Coach Clears Way
For Action.
_%
GAME WITH BEARS WILL
BE PLAYED OCTOBER 29
Location Not Fixed; W. S. C.
To Be Met Nov 5; U. of
W. Mix Unlikely.
Now that the coaching situation lias
been settled, graduate manager Marion
McClain is proceeding with the arrang
ing of the varsity football schedule for
the coming season. Nothing has been
done since the first meeting of the ath
letic council placed Oregon’s attitude to
wards the “Big Three” in doubt. The
coaching situation also held up arrange
ments, as McClain was waiting to see
what the attitude of the new coach would
be. and what games he would be willing
to play.
Tt is certain that Oregon is to play
California next year on October 29, al
though the location of the game has not
yet been arranged. California wants the
game in Berkeley, and desires to play
W. S. C. at Pullman. She wants to make
only one northern trip, and if Washing
ton State and California agree on the
Pullman date, it is likely that Oregon
will go south to meet the Bears.
Washington State wants Oregon to go
north to play them this year, but Mc
Clain is holding out for a game either
here or in Portland, because if tie trip
is made to Berkeley to play California,
he figures that the varsity may be in
poor condition to play the Cougars. The
date of the game is tentatively announced
as November 5.
1 It is unlikely that Oregon and Wash
ington will mix on the gridiron next sea
son. Oregon has but one open date left.
November 12, and Washington has that
filled, so an agreement between the two
state schools is unlikely. An early sea
son game is not favored by either insti
tution.
Another game which seems likely to
go through is with the University of
Southern California, on November 11,
Armistice day. McClain wants to play
the game in Portland, as the varsity
went south to play the Trojans last year.
But little has been heard from TJ. S. C.
in regard to this game, however, and
nothing definite is announced.
O. A. C. will be met in the annual
Homecoming game here next year on
November 17. A post-season game is
also being dickered for by McClain.
CREDIT FOR RELIGIOUS
COURSES NOT FAVORED
Faculty Committee Favors Work But
Not As Part of Regular
Curriculum.
The committee appointed at the fac
ility meeting of December 2 to consider
credit for work not offered under' the
auspices of the University, and speci
fically credit for courses in religious in
struction, has drawn up the following,
which it recommends to the faculty for
adoption:
1. It is a clearly recognised principle
that the University can give no credit
toward its degrees for any work that it
does not itself offer for credit, or
which it does not consider a proper part
of the curriculum of a state-supported
higher educational institution.
RESOLVED, That the faculty sympa
tliizes with the desire of religious or
ganizations that their students who are
here be stimulated in their religious
life; and invites them to offer courses
in religious instruction, which instruc
tion, however, must necessarily be out
side of University auspices and without
credit toward the University’s degrees.
JAMES D. BARNETT,
R. H. WHEELER,
M. H. DOUGLASS,
WALTER C. BARNES,
COLIN V. DYMENT, Ch.
Mr. Douglass dissented from Resolu
tion 1.
The entire faculty will consider this
report at the regular meeting this aft
ernoon.
On With the Dance; But Let
It Be Exceedingly Proper
I
T1h> Dance, ns it is properly executed
— this whs the purpose of a class held
in the Women’s building last night, spon
sored by the department of physical edu
cation and personally instructed by Miss
Katherine Winslow.
Representatives front the men’s and
women's houses were present, and re
ceived instruction in what is known as
the West Point system.
Correct, dancing posture was demon
strated by Miss Winslow. An interval
of ten inches, dependent, of course upon
the relative size of the dancing partners,
is one of the signal features of the sys
tem as shown by the instructor.
Under the new code, the man’s right
hand should be placed lightly upon the
woman’s back, and the right elbow held
at a position conveniently high. The
man’s left arm and consequently the wo
man’s right, should not. be bent, toward
the body, but extended away at, (lie
nearest to a straight line allowed by
comfort.
The proper place for the woman’s left
hand is above the man’s right shoulder.
The position wherein the woman looks
over the man’s left shoulder, is not de
sirable, according to Miss Winslow, who
extolled the benefits to east in leading,
if a position were maintained wherein
the girl could easily glance over the
man’s right shoulder.
The method of dancing in conformity
with the rules presented last, evening,
requires a straightness of stature, and
a slight swaying when in motion, as was
demonstrated by the instructors.
After the first instructions in the West
Point system, the students .danced, in
order to practice the dccorans method.
Dances of this nature are to he held in
the future in order to educate the men
and women in the proper method of
shaking a hoof. Those present last
evening are expected to carry the mes
sage home to the members of their res
pective houses.
The dancing classes are to be held as
part of the movement to eliminate such
steps as the “camel” walk, and others.
Cheek dancing and correspondence school
methods are banned. It is hoped by
those sponsoring the affairs that they
can revive the more proper dignified steps
of some years ago, and stimulate an in
terest in the light fantastic as she
should be done.
Students to be Allowed Spe
cial Reductions.
Appointments to the committee in
charge of the ticket sales for the Paul
Althou.se concert, to be given on the

A reduction of 50 cents on ei'her re
served or general admission tickets is
to be made to all holders of student
body tickets. Tn order to make it un
necessary to bring the student body
tickets to the concert a system has been
worked out. whereby the student will

ticket. It will be necessary for tin'
name to be signed, said Morrow, other
wise the reduction will not be given. A
check on the sale cannot be made unless
the tickets are signed.
Prices of tickets will be $1.75 for re
served seats and $1.50 for general ad
mission. Prices for the students will be
$1.25 and $1.00.
