THE PROPOSED CHANGE.
Consideration of the plan to change radically the pres
ent form of student government is apt to he made hurriedly
nnd without thought. As the movement has so far proceed
ed, no definite plans have been completed. The ideas are yet
in a tentative state.
Originating in the executive council, the idea for a form
of financial control that would co-ordinate the work of the
several councils under, the present system later met with the
approval of the student council. A committee was appoint
ed which has been gathering up material and composing it,
into a system that is expected to prove more economical to
the associated students.
it is likely that the step to he suggested by the committee
will be the formation ol a finance board which will combine
the athletic council, the forensic council and the executive
council. The thing which the committee has been working for
is centralized control of student finances. The movement was
started long before the athletic council created such a dis
turbance, and is not to be attributed to an outgrowth of re
-sentment against the actions of that body. Coming from the
executive council, it seems likely that there must be some
thing seriously wrong with the present system of handling
student finances or tin* movement would have died within
that body.
The plan of the committee should be announced as soon
as possible, so that student sentiment will have an opportu
nity to adjust itself to the new ideas. Then the attitude of
the students should he made known. Consider the idea of a
change seriously. Do you want it? Or are things running
smoothly as they are?
BEAT CALIFORNIA!
The hardest games of this season for the Oregon basket
ball team wil be Friday and Saturday nights against
California. By virtue of Inn* victory over Stanford at Berke
ley last Friday, her win over (). A. O. last night, and her prob
able victory over the Aggies again tonight. California looms
up as the most formidable •contender for championship hon
ors among the members of the coast conference.
Oregon must win both games from the Bears in order to
lay claim to the conference title. Stanford has yet to play one
game with W. S. 0., two games with 'Washington, and two
games with California. There is every possibility that she
may lose some of these. As the dope now stands, Oregon
could win the coast conference title by winning both games
from California, providing Stanford loses two games out of
the five yet to bo played. Everything depends on the results
of the games with California, this week-end.
The Oregon varsity this year has one of the best coaches
on the coast. The members of the team work well together.
They fight. And the Oregon student body fights with them.
Bet's win both games this week-end! Beat California!
The V. M. C. A. must be given credit for bringing some j
forceful speakers to the Oregon campus this term. Sherwood j
Eddy. Fred Smith and now Norman Coleman! Tmlv an im
posing list.
The weather improving, baseballs have now been warned I
oB the public thoroughfares near the campus. By the wav,
lias anything been done about a baseball coach?
REGISTRAR'S FORCE BUSY.

address of the students of the I'niver

veraity. The facts gathered in this way
will be used in the registrar’s report to
President I*. L. Campbell and in the re

WORK OF MISS DAVIS
TO STRENGTHEN Y. W.
Help Given by Four Eugene Churches
To Supply Need of Assistant
for Secretary.
With Louise Davis as her associate in
the campus Y. W. C. A. work, Miss Tirza
Dinsdale, secretary, expects to be able
to broaden the influence of the organiza
tion and to keep more closely in touch
with the religious problems at the Uni
versity.
This addition to the Y. W. C. A. was
made possible by four Eugene churches
realizing that through the activities of
the association, students are able to
express their religious ideas. They ex
pect the students loyalty in tin1 church
but know that in the Y. W. C. A., girls
may receive training for leadership,
ability to work with other people on com
mittees and similar tasks, conduct meet
ings and plan things that will be bene
ficial in the future.
-Vtiss navis understands tlic work on
tlu> campus having just completed her
college course last year. She is also
a student volunteer and vitally inter
ested in tlu> religious problems that are
met at the University. She will have
charge of the office at the Y. AY. O. A.
including employment and other business
matters*
Miss Dinsdale plans to be with the
girls more and to have time to become
personally acquainted with their needs.
She rilso expects to perfect the organ

♦ HOW WE STAND. ♦
The so called ‘Big Three’ situation has
caused some stir at the University of
Oregon, according to news received from
Eugene by Pacific Intercollegiate Press
service recently. The attempt to ob
tain the services of Gilmore Dobie,
football coach at Cornell University,
was brought about by fears that the
“Big Three” would overshadow Oregon
in football if in nothing else, according
to the dispatch. Indications in tjie dis
patch also showed, however, that the
falsity of the first thoughts on the sub
ject, and the needlessness of such action,
have become apparent on matlirer con
sideration.
The truth is that the new status
changes former conditions only slightly.
Washington. California and Stanford
are now bound by no financial agree
ments, either on paper or actual, in
which they cannot concur; and they will
meet each other every year in football,
instead of having Washington play only
one of the Southern teams each year.
Beyond these changes, the understand
ing between the three institutions has
no meaning insofar as it relates to the
"conference” situation.
In baseball, basketball, track, and
other -athletics, Washington will have the
same relations that have existed with
Oregon, W. S. C., and O. A. C. in the
past. The championship of the coast,
at least for the present, will rest just
as surely among the six schools, rather
than the socalled “big three,” as it does
now. Teams from Washington, Cali
fornia, or Stanford which have played
and defeated only the other two institu
tions will have no claim to coast laurels,
other things being normal. Financial
matters will be arranged on an inde
pendent basis, which h.as been the prac
tical basis during the existence of the
Pacific coast conference. In fact, there
will be practically no change whatso
ever, except in football, and these
changes are not particularly vital to
Oregon, O. A. C., and W. S. C. at pres
ent.
Oregon s period of worry, then,
which has apparently passed with
Dobie’s refusal of the $S,50Q offer, was
unnecessary. Oregon will continue to
meet Washington and the other big
coast institutions, relations will be on
almost the same basis, and the mere
fact of the break-up of the football con
ference will make little difference to the
smaller institutions, one way or another.
