Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE? OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921. NO. 79. OREGON DEFEATS AGGIE 57 Kinds of Organizations Prominent In Student Affairs. SOCIAL SCIENCE WORK CARRIED ON IN STATE Every Department Has At Least One Society; Others kave Five Clubs. Nowhere is the gregarious instinct of man more predominant than in the banding together of students, the forming of clubs and societies, diverse m their purposes and activities. A com prehensive survey completed yesterday, shows that there are 57 kinds of clubs, societies, and honor fraternities now on the campus, indicating the versatility of college students. “We are the most live wire organiza tion on the campus” said Dean Bovard when asked what the University Science club was doing. Since there are 57 varieties of clubs and honor fraternities on the University campus many are willing to argue with Dean Bovard as to which is most a> rn ■ \nost ever* department has at least ' one club or honor society and some departments have as many as five organizations. Good Work Done. The University Science club is un doubtedly doing a great work for the state as well as for the University. Its object is to encourage scientific re search by faculty and students and in this effort co-operates with all other scientific, societies. The dub is re sponsible for the formation of the Re search Committee that secured the re search fund from the state which is used to aid and Stimulate research work. Students may be elected to honorary membership in the society after they have shown marked ability in research work. The society holds open meet ings at which addresses are given upon the results of research work. The'University Social Science club is doing similar work but along the line of social science. Interesting speakers are secured for their open meetings and they also encourage investigation among members and students. Musical Clubs Active. The activities of the various musical organizations are perhaps more fully realized by the students than are those of any other organizations on the cam pus. It is the Oregon Music Council that has made it possible for us to hear such artists as Paul Altliouse. The Council was organized less than a year ago and is made up of' all students who have had one year’s work <m glee club, orchestra or band. Its object is to promote better music nol only at the University but throughout the entire state so far as is possible. The University orchestra is planning to give another of its Sunday after noon concerts in the near future, prob ahlv in about six weeks. The feature numbers of this concert will be a Greig Concerto and- a part of Beethoven’s First Symphony. Jane Thacher \|11 be the piano soloist for the concert. The orchestra will appear in concert at Cottage Grove on February 18. and it is hoped that they will give a home concert sometime before the spring vaca tion. New instruments are constantly heint^ added, the latest addition being a hass clarinet of superior quality. Glee Clubs Appear. t he Men’s Glee club appeared in con cert iu Portland recently and ^scored an unusual triumph. The women appeared >u Springfield last week in a very suc cessful concert. They will re^at this concert, at the Eugene theater in March. I he band is doing regular work and stu dents are looking forward to hearing them in. concert soon. Mu l’hi Epsilon is also doing active "'ork in promoting better music. A re cital by its members was given in the 1 dumber of Commerce rooms a short time ago and was very much enjoyed "by the townspeople and students who were (Continued on Page 3.) Versatility, Generosity and Spontaneity Characteristics of Paul Althouse Concert i (By Madame Rose E. McGrew.) With all the versatility, generosity and spontaneity of a still young and* truly great artist, Paul Althouse sang at Vil lard hall Thursday night to a crowded house. He gave us the very best of all the good he has to give. No man can hope to get closer to the pulse of his nation than when he sings heart to heart to a throng of his young enthus iastic fellow countrymen. Paul Alt house is one of us and our greatest real all-American tenor. His training has been American, his teacher Percy Rec tor Stephens of New York ranking as high as any instructor in the country. Now it is high time that America should awake to a sense of national pride in its own musicians and honor them, whenever and wherever occasions pre sent themselves. And such spontaneity as reigned in Villard Thursday evening should awaken within the breast of many of our gifted students the wish and the will to go and j}o likewise. Bury the phrase of the prophet and his own country and begin to . hunt for our own people who give us the hours of wonderful exultation and mentally slap them on the back saying, “Go to it — we’re here on the side lines cheering fur you!” Paul Althouse possesses all the good qualities whoch go to make a great sing er. He is not only a man of great natural talent but a man who works in cessantly. He in not only as great a tenor as the Metropolitan Opera House possesses, he is their best linquist, counting Russian among his accomplishments. His Ital ian and French diction is faultless. When the courtesy of the Elwyn Con cert Bureau in Portland made Mr. Alt house’s appearance in Eugene a possibil ity, the undertaking seemed, at that time, so vast as to be absurd. Last night’s attendance and the enthusiasm of the audience throughout the evening, gave us courage to undertaka more con certs of like magnitude. It is a wonder ful thing to see the young people rise to the occasion and it pays no small tribute to their own good taste. Mr. Althouse also showed discrimina tion in the choice of his accompanist, Rudolph Gruen, whose accompaniments were all that the most fastidious could ask, and whose solo work was, for one so young, masterful to a degree. His applause after this number amounted to an ovation. Amusing to one “on the inside” ,was the reaction which came to Mr. Alt house after Tie had sensed the “peculiar” acoustic quality of our beloved old Vil lard. We who knew, admired his good sportsmanship and hoped again most fervently for a real concert hall on the campus where artistic singing would be possible and any kind of music produc tion a pleasure—not a fight. Bureau Places 88 Per Cent of All Who Would Teach. Eighty-eight per cent of the students who registered with the school of edu cation appointment bureau during the year 1919-20 were placed in teaching positions according to Professor C. A. Gregory of the education department, who is director, of the bureau. Of the remainder, five and a half per cent de cided not to teach, after they had regis tered, some went into graduate work in other institutions, and a few took grad uate work at the University. The total number of positions listed by the appointment bureau for the school year 1919-20 was 420. The bureau was able to recommend 277 applicants for these positions. Seventy-nine earlier graduates of the University were listed with the appoint ment bureau last year, and a large per centage of these were placed in positions, Dr. Gregory said. A great many of the offers of positions came from states other than Oregon, and there were some eight or ten offers of teaching positions in colleges, normal schools, and univer sities. In 143 cases the appointment bureau had no suitable applicants. Dr. Gregory urges that all students, who wish to secure teaching positions for next year register at once with the apointment bureau. “Superintendents of schools are already writing to us asking us to recommend teachers” he said, “and those who register early at the bureau have a much better chance to get the positions they want than those who register late.” Unless the credentials of the candidates are on file in the ap pointment bureau it is impossible to give recommendations for positions, Dg. Greg ory said, and many good positions were lost to University students last year be cause they had failed to register in time. I The fee for enrollment in the ap pointment bureau is one dollar. Regis tration blanks may be had at the ap pointment bureau, on the ground floor of the education building. Superintend ents who are looking for teachers want as much information about applicants for positions as possible, and it is necessary to fill our the blanks in full, Dr. Gregory /says. __ '! f.Ji Miss Fenton Makes Survey of Programs of Colleges. ! The homecoming program as staged by the University of Oregon in the fall of 1920 embodies practically every good feature that is being used by other col leges of the .country in similar enter prises. This fact is brought out iij the homecoming program survey which Miss Charlie Fenton, alumni secretary, is making. In the survey, which was started sev eral weeks ago, Miss Fenton has had correspondence with 20 or more schools and colleges in botlr the east and west, including Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Michigan Agricultural College, Mis souri, Wisconsin, Chicago, Ohio State, Western Reserve and the University of Washington. Miss Fenton reports that eastern schools have a tendency to offer more prizes than does Oregon, but that' their results have not been any better than those on the Oregon campus. She was unable to find a school that had a bon fire anything like the frosh pyre as a part of its homecoming ceremonies. Illinois and Wisconsin each have a feature or two which have not been tried here. A hobo parade is held and prizes offered for the most clever take off on some current event. A prize of some value is ateo given to the football player who makes the first touchdown in the homecoming game. In connection with the survey Hiss Fenton has received letters from a num ber of alumni secretaries, complimenting her on the idea and asking that they be allowed to share in the benefits. As soon as the survey is completed plans for the next homecoming on the Oregon campus will be started and many new ideas will probably be tried, ac cording to Miss Fenton. RELIEF MAP RECEIVED. A copy of a large relief map of the United States recently published by the United States Geographical Survey has been received at the president’s office through the efforts of Congresional Rep resentative Willis C. Hawley, of the first district, who writes that only two of the maps were at his disposal and suggests that such a map would be of great value to students in the school of commerce. STATE OFFERED FREE USE OF 1,000 FEET OF FILM BE U. OF 0. Service Is Arranged So Any Kind o.f Movies or Slides Can Be Obtained. 260,000 OREGONIANS SERVED BY UNIVERSITY Enormous Variety in Pictures,1 Everything From Hats to Bible Stories. Tlie free educational slides and films, consisting of more than six thousand lantern slides and nearly a quarter of a million feet of moving picture, film, which the extension division has to of fer to citizens, schools and organizations, now await the public’s call and are list ed in a 28-page pamphlet recently pub lished. The films include 28 different topics under geography, scenery, travel, 36 on industry, manufacture, technical, 3 on health sanitation, public safety, two each on drama and University of Oregon ac-! tivities and 20 films on the war. One hundred and fifty-four slide sets consist of 40 subjects on geography, scenery, travel, 27 on history, develop ment, 12 on industries, products and a surprising range of other subjects. Of the 40 subjects on geography, scenery, and travel, 20 are colored, lending an added interest to the pic tures. All the other slide subjects have from 2 to 8 sets which are colored. Churchill Approves Service. A paragraph taken from the pamphlet says: “In 1016 the Extension Division started in a modest way this service which has reached truth proportions that in 1920 Oregon audiences, aggregating 260,000 Opeople, viewed upon the screen the wealth of illustration it is now pos sible to furnish. J. A .Churchill, state superintendent of public instruction, says that visual in struction opens the way to a richer, deeper and broader training without the expenditure of any more time and ef fort than before. “This year marks the beginning of a new era of service to the non-tlieatre ex hibitors of Oregon,” says the pamphlet. “The dramatizations of famous classics listed under the heading, “A Special Of fer of Films’ are the kind of material the extension division expects, in the future, to be able to offer in increasing quantities. It was possible to secure these dramas through co-operation with other state universities, particularly the (Continued on Page 2.) TORCH AND SHIELD MAY BE FORCED TO DISBAND Student Advisory Committee Demands Names of Members Who Put Kick in Punch. Unless the identity of certain mem bers of Torch and Shield is disclosed to the Student Advisory committee, so that they can be held to answer for recent alleged misdemeanors, that organization will be forced to disband. This was the action taken Thursday afternoon by the committee in considera tion of the charge that Torch and Shield, a sophomore honor society on the cam pus, improperly conducted a dance about a month ago at the Country Club. The express charge against the so ciety is that intoxicating liquoV w’as placed in the punch. Because it is be lieved that not all of.-Ac members of the society present were responsible for the action alleged, the committee gave ithe society a period of two weeks in which to name those men who were re • sponsible for tfie action charged, so that any defense they may have can be made. If the names of those connected with the affair are not given at the,end of the reqnired time. Torch and Shield, organized on the campus April 14, 1912, will be disbanded. Pending the action taken by tlie committee yesterday. Torch and Stjield was some time ago deprived of the right to hold social functions of aDy descrip tion. * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ • x ♦ ♦ 0. A. C.

Gamma Plii Beta scored her second triumph Thursday afternoon and placed herself in the lead in the doughnut bas ketball series by defeating Oregon club 2 to 7. j Oregon club was outplayed in every way and Gamma Phi easily made her score. Zeta Rho now ties with Hendricks for second place. Zeta Rho by defeating the Tri Delta in their first game. 17 to 9, has spored three victories out of four games. The Thetas failed to score a single point against Thacher housed but held them to an 8 to 0 game. The Gamma Phi team plays together exceedingly well, Margaret Murphy and Helen Nelson, forwards, rarely failing to make a basket after getting their hands on the ball. They are tall enough to evade the guards, and are accurate bas ket shooters. Wenona Dyer turned her ankle in the game Thursday night and still limps as a result. A large crowd witnessed the games Thursday afternoon. The Delta Delta Delta-Zeta Rho Epsilon game wa» the first one played this' season at 3 o’clock. Five o’clock is the hour scheduled, but lack of time is forcing the doubling up of the doughnut scries in order to give class and varsity teams a chance. Miss iCrama Waterman was referee and Miss Laura McAllister, umpire for the Thurs day afternoon games. The line-ups were as follows: Delta Delta Delta. Zeta Rho Epsilon. A. Young..F. . . . M.

Remigio Ronquille, a freshman from the Philippine islands, spoke to the mem bers of the Spanish Club in the Y. M. C. A. hut Wednesday evening. In his native tongue he related the history of the islands, enumerated their industrial resources, the part his people played in the world war, sketched the life of the natives, and mentioned the climatic con ditions of the archipelago. In a brief discussion of the educational system in effect on the Islands, Ron quillo said that there were over 400 schools, three good universities and 12 colleges. Hpanish songs were sung by members of the club preceding a short business session. Members were urged to attend the meetings, and a committee was ap pointed to collect the dues. The magazine “Mercurio,” subscribed fpr by,„the club, will be placed on re serve in the library for use of members. The ne*t meeting of the club will be of a social nature. n WINS FROM 0. A. C. BT UUIGEST SCORE IS SERSON Durno, As Usual, Rolls Up Most Points; Converts 8 Out of 9 Fouls. BEAVER SPURT AT END FAILS TO MATERIALIZE Trio of Guards Responsible for Lowest Score Blade Yet by Visitors. By a score of 42 to 13, the largest score rolled up by the varsity' this sea sou. the Oregon quintet defeated the O. A. C. five in the first qf a two game series at the Armory last night. This game makes the third straight victory for Oregon over tht Aggies, places the varsity safely in the lead & the northwest conference, and give's them still a fighting chance • at tSe coast conference pennant. v The work of the Oregon guards, Bel lar, Chapman and Reinhart' was largely responsible for the low score of the Beavers, which is the lowest niade in*^i conference game so far thi»seasoL These guards held Arthurs, Aggie .for ward to one lone field basket, while Stinson was able to gather only’ !11L points for his team, only two of which were field baskets. Three field bas kets were all the Beavers were able..to chalk up, Stinson converting 7 out of ,10 free throws.. '**■ * t As usual, Eddie Durno was high ^^t man, netting 6 field baskets ghd cep verting 8 out of 9 fouls for countersf a total of’20 points. “Hunk” Latham cbj§i ped tons* field baskets, while Ohapnata slipped away from his tnan'ofteh' enough to gather two more ringers' for Oregon. Mare Latham had an off night, being unable to hit the hoop but once, al though he played a stellar game'on the floor. In the last half, Coach Rutherford of the Beavers sent in several sugstitutes ! in an effort to stem the tide, but only succeeded in allowing the Lemon*-Yellow tossers to get away with an added spurt O. A. C. made but four points in thn last half, all by the free throw route, their last half spurt which worked so well at Corvvallis failing to materialize. The second game of the series will be played tonight at the Armory. The game will start promptly at 7:30. Awarding of football sweaters to ten members of this year’s varsity will . be made between halves tonight by Carle ton Savage, A. S. U. O. president. The Aggies took the lead in last night’s game, when soon after the first whistle Arthurs secured the ball when Stinson bounced a try off the back board and dropped one through. Follow ing this, Stinson scored two free throws when fouls were called on Durno for holding and for a broken dribble. “Huih” Latham made the first two points fbr the Lemon-Yellow when he hopped a long I throw from the center of the floor. Durno scored one point from a fpul throw. “Hunk” Latham hooped another from . the floor shortly after piecing Oregon in the lead with a. 5 to 3 score. Durno converted another free threw shortly after when Sanders was called for holding, by Referee Gawley. Stinson of the Aggies dropped a long throw through the hoop for the two points needed to tie the score. .The ball see-sawed back and forth for the negt few minutes, and “Hunk” Latham scored his third field basket for ,Ore gon, putting the Lenion-Yellow id *ho lead again, which the Aggies failed to overtake. Durno dropped in another free throw after Chapman' secured a field basket giving Oregon a 11 to 6 lead. Eddie Durno secured his first basket from the field shortly after on a clever throw from the center of the floor. Stinson added two more points to the Aggies score on a pretty field goal. Reinhart was substituted for Bel* lar, and Durno dropped in two more field goals in quick succession. Reinhart brought the crowd to its feet with a beautiful basket after in* tercepting an O. A. C. pass, and drib (Continued on Page 2)
