Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1921. NO. 89. Advancement of Interests of University and of State Also Aimed. BODY INTENDS TO JOIN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Affiliation With State Group Also. Planned; Depart ments Established. Formation of a chamber of commerce organization has been undertaken by the major students of the school of com merce o fthe University. The establish ment of this chamber of commerce, em bodies as its chief purposes the advance ment and promotion of the interests of the University, the advancement of the interests of a school of commerce partic ularly, and the promotion of the general -welfare of the public of the state. The movement is really the first step towards the definite organization of every element in the largest department in the University. Every commerce major will be eligible for membership in the cham ber according to the proposed plan. A summary of the direct object of the movement may be found in its preamble; ‘The object of this organization and its purpose shall be to promote and de velopment of the social, physical and mental capacities of its members; the ■welfare of the school of commerce and the University of Oregon; and to draw more closely together the students, the faculty, the school of commerce, and the business world, thereby cementing their scholastic, business and social re’ptions.” Wide Scope Planned. While other schools have junior chambers of commerce, clubs and vari ous forms of associations to promote the welfare of some particular branch of work, none of these organizations has been carried beyond the scope of its im mediate locality. Neither has any of them developed 'to the exfent of the modern chamber of commerce, or to the extent of joining the state chamber or the National Association of chambers of commerce, as is tile intention ot tne or ganization here. Membership in the Na tional Chamber opens the way for great possibilities for advancement. Speakers of national repute may be obtained through co-operation, with this body and benefits derived from relations with the biggest business interests of the coun try will be opened. By joining the state chamber close re lation will be had with all the business interests of the state, and mutual aid derived therefrom. A uniform system of obtaining employment for graduates would be established by the relation, and special short courses for business men of th estate will be arranged for in vari ous commerce subjects. Departments Organized. One of the outstanding features of the proposed organization is the establish ment of nine departments within the chamber under the heads of administra tion and membership, social, publicity, transportation, industrial and employ ment. markets, accounting and banking; each branch functioning in co-operation with the other. The plans for the establishment of the chamber in the school of commerce originated with a group of upperclass commerce majors and their first meet ing was held early last week, when Bar ney Garret was chosen chairman of a committee to form plans for an organiza tion. Members of the committee are Homer Mornliinweg. Frank Miller, Ross MacKenna, George Lowden. Wilbur Carl. F.rnest Evans, Stanley Evans, Victor Nether, Ruth Lane, Wanda Brown, Mil dred Aumiller and Marjorie Stout. A meeting for majors in the school of commerce will be held next Thursday night in the club rooms of the Eugene chamber of commerce when all the plans I formulated will be presented to those present. Dr. E. C. Robbins, dean of the school of commerce, commenting on the plans of the students said; “While the sug gestion is direct from the students and not from me, I am nevertheless 100 per cent in favor of it and I believe it is un doubtedly the biggest thing ever attempt ed by students in any branch of the Uni versity. Its success would open up re markable possibilities for the aid of the 1 Diversity as well as the school of commerce.” SPIRIT OP FREEDOM FELT BY STUDENTS No Classes, No Boning, No Worry, Thanks To General George. If George Washington could receive, by Ouija board or some other method, the expressions of gratitude which the students throughout the United States would like to send him today, he would have to hire, in order t.o record them, a corps of stenographers, which would ex cell, in numbers, the individuals engaged in the world war. Imagine, if you can, the expression of joy which would cover the great general’s face if he could gaze upon the many happy faces caused by the holiday which has been declared in his honor. Undoubtedly he would, if spirits ex press their extreme emotions in yells, give “a big fat Oskey” to show his de light in the fact that the wrork of free dom wliech he began, while on earth, is still being carried on. It is with a joyous heart that students leave behind them for one day, Greek Gods Roman generals, English statesmen and other personages, mythical or other wise, of foreign fame and honor for an American who bears the immortal title of “Father of his Country.” Girls’ Glee Club Concert To Be Elaborate Affair. Do you live in a nine o’clock to>vn? If so, do you know what happens when the clock strikes twelve? Not if it real ly is a nine o’clock town! In the days when nine o’clock was very late indeed, but you couldn’t bear to go to bed, did you think playthings came to life the minute your eyes were shut? Remem ber the time your tin soldiers had fallen off the chair when you woke in the morning? But you imcinit touched them?—they must have moved them selves! , Maids of the Glee Club remember these things too. Not only do they re member, but several members have been conducting active research along these lines. The results, they say with myster ious glances, are astounding. In most cases they have determined the cause— for instance that long grewsome shadow in the dark corner by the. mantle that you watched for so long. Maybe it was the curtain! ±l avails yuu uuuiiug iu utj i-unuus yet. Never a lass will tell what she knows until Saturday night. Then and not until then will those deep dark mysteries of your childhood be fully re vealed and explained. But that’s not all! Glee Club girls seem to be taking, or undergoing mili tary training. Watch them turn corners squarely in the library, then halt with manifest confusion. Officers in charge of men’s military training complain that they cannot even give orders with snap py results any more, because so many girls are always hanging around attempt ing to absorb tactics through observa tion. The answer seems to be as usual, “Glee Club Hoifie Concert!” Testimony of sisters of Glee Club girls seems to be to The effect that costumes will be elaborate. O, very elaborate from the midnight oil that is being consumed in their construction! Tickets are now on sale at the Co- \ op. Kuykendall’s drug store and all the men’s houses. Representatives selling tickets in girls houses will be announced later in the week. The following will have tickets from now on. so the duty of every man on the campus is evident, says Don Davis, manager: Bachelordon, Dan Welch; Delta Theta Phi, Jimmy Baker: Fiji, Nelson English; Chi Psi, Fred Miehelson; S.

FORUM ELECTS OFFICERS. - At the regular business meeting of the Forum last week, two new officers were elected; Eric W. Allen, treasurer, and Louise Davis, secretary. A constitution was presented and adopted. The Forum now numbers about sixty members. Business meetings occur every two week's? and open meeting whenever lecturers can be obtained. Charles W. Lutton, Secretary of Phi Mu Alpha on • Campus Saturday. AID OF AMATEURS IS AIM OF “SYMPHONIA” Work of Oregon Known in East, Says Visitor; High Standard Lauded. Preliminary organization of a men’s local, honorary, music fraternity which will petition Phi Mu Alpha, usually known by the name “Symphonia,” and which will be composed of men actively interested in music on the campus, was effected at luncheons at the Anchorage, Saturday and Monday noons, attended by men belonging to the Oregon Music Council and others interested in music. The Saturday meeting was addressed by Charles W. Lutton, national secretary of “Symphonia.” The work of the national music fra ternity was outlined by Mr. Lutton in his Saturday speech. The plan of or ganization, bo said, was to further Amer ican ideas of musicianship. “Sym phonia” is doing all it can to spread the lov.e of music for music’s sake—to give to as many persons as possible the abil ity to enjoy good music. In Europe the professional musician did not need any other education. .“Sym jjhonia” also stands for the educated musician. Mr. Lutton told of the case of Mischa Elman, who has just recent ly leadned to write his name. In Amer ica, he continued, the idea is becoming more and more prevalent that musicians should have as good an education as those following any other profession. Time Ripe for Chapter. The membership of the organization is made up for the most part of amateurs rather than professionals, according to the speaker. More good can be done along the line of making people realize the cultural value of music through ama teurs than through professionals. The. speaker told of having written to Dean John J. Dandsbury several times regarding the placing of a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at Oregon but each time, he said, the Dean replied that the time was not ripe. Then, at last the Dean said he was ready. “We know what is being done at the University school of music—we know in Chicago perhaps better than you do here” Mr. Dutton said in his talk. “We know the standards set here and the grade of work done.” He spoke of the work of the Glee club and orchestra. He had heard members of the Glee club sing be fore the luncheon, and complimented es pecially the tenors. “Where do you get such tenors?” he asked. “We can’t find them around Chicago.” The sing ing of all, he continued was clean-cut and good. Orchestra Is Praised. The work of the orchestra in the Cot tage Grove concert was also praised. The’ orchestra is doing good work, he said. “Of course, there are better university orchestras in the country, for instance, there is the Illinois organization. It has about fifty or sixty members, but half of them are faculty members. The Ore gon orchestra is a student organization an dits work is fine.” “I shall look forward to the placing of a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at Ore gon and shall expect to hear from the Oregon chapter,” he said, in conclusion. At the Monday meeting Maurice Eben, and Dr. Dandsbury spoke for a few min utes in regard to the policy of the local organization. Dr. Dandsbury expressed a desire that the policy of the national organization bfl carried out. He said he wanted the club composed of live men. Maurice Eben was elected president of the local organization and Glen Morrow, secretary-treasurer. Joe Ingram and Ralph Hoeber were appointed members of a standing committee to consider rules for admission. YALE WANTS WESTERN MEN. According to the Salt Dake Tribune, Yale desires western youths. It quotes a Yale professor as saying that, Yale particularly desires men from the west because “such men put a leaven into the student body, and we offer them excep 1 tional advantage! to pursue their studies. P.L. Spencer Made President of Phi Delta Kappa Society At Installation on Campus Peter L. Spencer, a senior majoring in education was made president of Chi chapter of Phi Delta Kappa when the honorary national educational society was installed on the campus last. Satur day. Spencer was president of the local education club, Phi Kappa Delta, and automatically became president of the national. Installation of Phi Delta Kappa took place at the Masonic Temple on Satur day afternoon, and was a very impres sive affair, said Professor C. A. Greg ory of the school of education and a member of Phi Delta Kappa from the University of Iowa chapter. After the initiation, a banquet was held at the Osburn hotel. Professor Gregory was toastmaster for the occa sion. Professor .J. IlAvid Hauser of San Francisco, national historian of Phi Delta Kappa, gave a short address of welcome, - to which Peter Spencer, ’21, president of the newly installed chapter, responded in behalf of the local organ ization. John C. Almnck, assistant director of the University extension department, who was one of the initiates, spoke on “The Sixth Sense in Education.” Dr. B. \V. DeBusk’s subject was “The Next Step in Research.” Dean IT. D. Sheldon of the school of education spoke on “Some | Ethical Pftblcms of the Teaching Pro fession.” William C. Hoppes, '20, assistant su perintendent of the Salem public schools, discussed “Educational Initiative,” and C. A. Howard, superintendent of the Marshfield public schools, spoke on “The Educational Outlook from the Standpoint of the City Superintendent.” ltoth these men became members of the fraternity on Saturday. Dr. S. C. Kohs, of the Portland court of domestic relations, who with Profes sor Hauser had charge of the installa tion ceremony, gave a talk on the gen eral value of Phi Delta Kappa. “Professor Hauser and Dr. Kohs were very favorably impressed with the group of initiates,” declared Professor C .A. Gregory, “and gave them a great deal of encouragement as to what they might do in the work of education. One thing these men tried to press home,” Professor Gregory said, “was the fact that Phi Delta Kappa is not nn organ ization whose' members have done some thing worth while in education and are living on their past records, but a dy namic living organization, constantly looking to the future, and not relying upon past achievements.” About 3000 men in the United States are members of Phi Delta Kappa. There are 23 chapters of this organization . HENDRICKS WINNER OVER OU CLUB Gamma PM Keeps Lead; May Play Hall.

Dr. Edward T. Devine, associate edi tor of The Survey, former professor in Columbia University, and chief of the bureau of refugees and relief of the American Red Cross during the war, will address the student body assembly Thursday morning on the subject “Amer ican Social Service.” Dr. Devine will be remembered by many on the campus from his appearance last year on the weekly assembly pro gram when during a tour of the north west, his talks, to the students here and his Portland addresses drew considerable press comment. Having a wide knowledge of social con ditions throughout the world and being a recognized authority on the special methods America has devised for dealing with social problems, Dr. Devine’s ad dress will hold much interest for the student and especially for those contem plating work in the recently organized school and bring to their attention the place it will hold in the future. As an author of numerous books on social and economic subjects, Dr. Devine is well qualified to handle the subject of the evolution of social service in our own time and the preliminary announcement of his address promises 'that many facts of American social conditions will bo brought out. by the speaker. Dr. Devine holds the degree of Ph. D. from Pennsylvania and that of L. L. D. from Cornell and following his work in Europe with the Red Cross published several volumes concerning rehabilita tion among the disabled service men. R.O.T.C.

EMTEBS 31-18 Hold On Northwest Leader ship Tightened by Vic tory Over Idaho. OREGON LOSES COAST TITLE TO CALIFORNIA Bears Win Final Game Hare Saturday Night; W. S. C. Games Next. Coach Bohler’s proteges tightened their hold on the Northwest Conference title hy defeating the Idaho five, runners up in the percentage column by the decisive score of 31 to 1!) at the Armory last night. The game was slow and listless, neither team getting away for any bril liant playing, Oregon easily excelling the visitors in basket shooting and floor work throughout the contest. Captain Durno of the Lemon-Yellow five was high point man scoring 13 points for the varsity, with “Hunk” Latham close behind him with a score of 10 points. For the Gem Staters, Thomp son, scoring 6 points, was high point man. Varsity Strong. The first half ended in a score of 15 to 1?, with Oregon in the lead. In the second period the varsity came back strong and ran up 16 points while Idaho was only able to garner 7 markers. Thompson for Idaho scored the first field basket of the game several minutes after the start although Durno marked up one point on a converted free throw before this. Eddie followed with an other pretty shot putting Oregon in the lead when Idaho spurted and passed the varsity holding a two point lead for .about five minutes. The repented foul ing of the visitors was responsible^ for a number of the points scored by the varsity in the initial period. Durno con verting five out of seven attempts via the free throw method, during the first half. Hunter Is Star. Captain Hunter of the Idaho five was the stellar performer on* the floor for his team, breaking up the Oregon passes and getting into the plays more frequent ly. “Hunk” Latham played a bang-up game for the varsity, Marc Latham. “Hunk" ani Eddie Durno proving an ef fective scoring combination against the visitors. Reinhart and Seller played a goo. defensive game although both of them had hard luck in ringing the bas kets from the floor. Couch relieved Reinhart at guard dur ing the latter part of the last half when Reinhart was taken out for four per soual fouls. Idaho used numerous sub stitutions in an effort to stop the Ore gon onslaught during the last period but their efforts were in vain. Moe, Hyde and Wyman were the spare men used by. the visitors.

VARSITY LOSES SECOND GAME TO CALIFORNIA 24 . 18 The University of California quintet succeeded in taking the measure of ths varsity five in the second game of their series played at the Armory Saturday night by a score of 24 to 18. This sec ond win by the Bears leaves them at the top of the heap in the Pacific Coast con ference and Oregon’s chances to end the season in the lead are nil. The game Saturday night was equally as thrilling as that of Friday night and the Southerners again came from behind and cinched the honors after the second half was well along. Oregon appeared to have solved a method of breaking up the short passes of the visitors st the start of the game and repeatedly stop ped the team work of their opponents. But the Californians again staged their spectacular comeback and led at the (Continued on Page 3.)
