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,

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 .

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

their efforts were in vain. Moe, Hyde

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
