PLEDGES-TO-BE III
Council Voices Objection to
Nine Girls Remaining in
Penalized House
f - ,
DEAN FOX EASES BURDEN
Heavier Punishment May Be
Imposed; Meetings Are
Secret
_£_
Opposition to allowing “pledges-to
be" of Gamma Phi Beta the privilege of
being guests in the house until Novem
ber 1 has been voiced by members of the
Alumnae Panhellenic council which met
yesterday. The nine girls who have
been “holding outr” were given permis
sion to do this by the administration.
Gamma Phi Beta had been penalized
by' the elimination of the pledging priv
ilege until November 1, and members of
Panhgllenic held that the punishment
should be strictly adhered to, especially
in view of the fact that similar cases
have appeared in the past and in few
cases has punishment been evaded.
Not Reversing, Says Dean
in regard to the action of the admin
istration Dean Elizabeth Pox said yester
day: “I am not reversing the ruling of
the Panhellenic council in allowing Gam
ma Phi Beta to take as guests their nine
pledges-to-be, but am merely removing
the burden of the penalty from the
shoulders of the freshmen girls concern
ed.”
There is opinion that all action in re
gard to rush week and pledging should
be taken by the Panhellenic council and
the discussion of the matter filled the
meeting yesterday afternoon and will be
taken up again tonight in a special meet
ing.
TTJht the nine girls were bearing the
greatest burden of the punishment by
waiting and that they were unable to find
suitable rooming places for the short time
is given as the reason given by the ad
ministration for lifting the penalty.
Discussed by Girls’ Houses
Information from an authoritive1
source is that a penalty even more se
vere than the one at first imposed may
be ruled, although all of the meetings of
the Panhellenic have been behind closed
doors. Discussion of the problem has
been carried on through the girls’ houses
and the culmination is expected in the
meeting tonight.
Officers of the council have empha
sized the fact that all through the affair
there has been little hard feeling, and
that the girls of the house on which the
penalty was inflicted have presented
their side of the case in a straightfor
ward manner.
The Panhellenic council was respon
sible for the original punishment for the
violation of rushing rules on Friday of
rush week. It was alleged that Gamma
Phi Beta entertained a rushee at their
house during hours when she had dates
with another house.

COEDS MEET BAD MEN
Throngs at Open House
j * # * * # * * * *
FROSH ARE IN HEA VEN
Police, detectives and other guardians
of the law were evidently taking a va
cation on Saturday evening. Nothing
else could explain the manner in which
Roy Gardiner, Pr, Brumfield, Maliony
and “Fatty” Arbuckle were allowed to
find their way about Eugene, especially
in the vicinity of the various sorority
houses and girls halls of the University.
They did not stay long at any one
place it is true, eighteen minutes being
the average time, but no house was
overlooked.
Even though their visits were short
these notorious ones did much to turn
the tide of public sentiment in their
favor. More than once Dr. Brumfield
was followed by a feminine whisper of
“Isn’t he nice”? Fatty Arbuckle was
strangely altered in appearance, being
something over six feet in height and
noticeably thin but never the less a
shy maiden was heard to say, “Oh but
I think he is good looking.”
It was not only noted criminals that
visited Eugene on Saturday evening as
other well known names were heard.
There was Thermos Bottle, Cornedbeef
Cabbage, Soda Fountain and others,
many others.
No it was not a meeting of the so
ciety for the assembling of Who’s Who,
^neither was it a lunatic asylum assem
bly, but merely the annual University
open house. The well known names
were assumed for the evening only and
the unusual names did not in the least
interfere with the round of entertain
ment. The wearers of the titles danced,
drank punch and otherwise acted as
University men are supposed to act at
such a time.
Much confusion was avoided by the
adoption of the schedule of visits and
by adhering closely to the time limit
agreed upon. It is true that several
young frosh were very much dissa
pointed because they were not allowed
to spend the entire evening at the first
house they visited but at the next house
they found an equally good looking
girl and did not grieve long.
It was a successful open house, every
one laughed and no one looked bored
for long. All in all it seems that the
University will be able to get along
nicely until the next one, if the next
one will just hurry along.
Orchestra and Glee Clubs
Send Call for Musicians
Vacancies in the Men’s and Women’s
Glee Clubs and in the University Or
chestra are to be filled this week as
far as possible, according to the di
rectors of the organizations. Tryouts'
for the Men’s Glee Club will be held in
the studio of John Stark Evans, the
director, between -1:00 and 6:00; for the
Women’s Glee Club in the studio of
Leland A. Coon at 7:00 and for the
Orchestra in flex Underwood’s studio
between 5:00 and 5:30.
Each of the directors spoke emphati
cally of wishing to have as many as
possible tryout for his organization.
“I’d like to have them come and try
for the Club no matter if they can only
carry a tune in a basket,” was Mr.
Evan’s way of putting it. Mr. Under
wood and Mr. Coon echoed his senti
ment.
Orchestra has Rehearsal
A successful rehearsal marked the
opening of the year’s activity of the
orchestra last night. With those suc
cessful in tonight’s tryouts, Mr. Under
wood hopes to round out the organiza
tions into a larger and better one than
that of last year. There are vacancies
in all departments of the Orchestra,
said the director, and everyone who can
play any orchestra instrument is urged
to try out. The second rehearsal will
be held tonight at 7:30 in Villard hall.
“There are vacancies in each voice
in the Men’s Glee Club,” said Mr.
Tryouts for Yell Staff
To Add Pep to Practice
Wednesday afternoon at 4:15 the
thundering thousand goes into action
on Hayward field, the first yell prac
tice of the year. Not only is it going
to be a yell practice, but Coach Hun
tington has assured Yell King Oberteuf
fer that a scrimmage will be staged
which is guaranteed to get a good
show. It is probable that ••Shy”, Bill,
Bart, and Mitchell will speak to the
students.
This year the staff will put on a
new yell, one which will to a certain
extent take the place of the locomotive.
King “Obie” has termed the new yell a
knockout. Also, “Obie” has promised the
students something new and snappy in
the line of yell practice. The uniforms
this year will be strictly regulation.
The cheer leaders will be dressed in
white trousers, and dark green sweat
ers.
Eight aspirants for positions on. the
yell staff will display their wares to
the student rooters Wednesday after
noon. The candidates for positions are
Ole Larson, Arthur Bosenbraugh, Fred
Woods. Boyd Homewood, Shrimp Phil
lips, Archie Erickson, Ralph Simpson,
and Ted Baker.
Yell King Oberteuffer has expressed
his appreciation of the rooting of the
frosh at the Y. M. mix last Friday
night. “They displayed a wonderful
spirit,” said the Yell King” and with
a little practice they will go great.”
The rooters will again be referred to
this year as the Thundering Thousand,
bu Obie has emphasized that every stu
dent is expected to be out on the field
for the initial practice tomorrow after
noon. Those taking gym or having clas- ]
ses at that hour are urged to put a plea !
! to their instructors to get excused, or |
if they can’t to come out to Hayward j
after their classes are over, because
the practice will just be getting well j
underway at five o’clock.
Oberteuffer has stated that yell
practice will not be held every Wed
nesday afternoon and urges all the stu- .
dents to be present at the initial prac-'
tice. Not only does the Yell King wish
to teach the new yell to the students,
but he desires to organize the Thunder
ing Thousand for the game with Pacific
University next Saturday on Hayward
field.
GAEEETT NOW SECBETAEY
B. O. (Barney) Garrett, University,
graduate in the class of 1920, is serv- i
ing as secretary of the McMinnville •
Commercial Club. For a short time
following graduation he acted as as
sistant secretary of the Salem club and
then went to McMinnville, where he is
said to be proving himself a live wire.
Evans. “We'd like to have everyone
out for the tryouts.” Numbers will be
given out beginning at four. If the
candidate cannot get there at four, five
j will be all right.
Bring Voices; That’s All
“Applicants for places in the Wo
: men’s Glee Club are to bring only their
voices,” Mr. Coon said. “This is only
the first tryout. At the second which
will be held soon solos will be re
quired.” There are 18 places in the
Club to be filled. Of these four, one in
each voice, will be used as a sort of
understudy to fill vacancies in case
of sickness.
Tryouts for an accompanist for the
Women’s Club will be held in Mr.
Coon’s studio on Friday afternoon be
tween 2:00 and 4:00. The accompanist
is used not only to play accompani
ments for the Club but also to appear
in solos.
Two Trips for Women
All of the organizations had very
successful seasons last year and this
year even better plans are in the mak
ing. Maurice Eben, president of the
Men’s Club, is working on a trip to
the East, the Women’s Club is plan
ning two trips during the year, and the
Orchestra will have at least one long
trip, probably to eastern Oregon, and
is planning a trip to Portland. The
Portland people who heard the women
on their last year’s trip are asking that
another concert be given there, ac
cording to Mr. Coon.
LEMON PUNCH WONTS ART
STUDENTS WHO CAN DEAW ABE .
INVITED TO MEETING
Plans Under Way for First Issue
To Be Out Homecoming Week-end;
Contributors Needed Soon
The Lemon Punch is now ready to
give an opportunity for art work to all
freshmen interested in this part of the
publication, and to any other student
who did not contribute drawings last
year, but desires to take part in the
future. meeting will be held at 4:15
this afternoon in the Punch office, and
all aspirants should be on hand. The
kind of work needed will be outlined,
and some suggestions as to drawings
will be made so that preparation of
material can be started immediately.
Nearly all of last year’s staff are
back, and plans are under way for the ;
first issue, which will come out on
Homecoming Week-end. It will prob
ably be more than thirty pages in size,1
and contain about two-dozen cuts, so!
work is plentiful and chances are good
for those who wish to get some of their ■
drawings into tfie issue. In order to
put out a publication containing first :
class work throughout, a large number
of contributors are necessary. The
circulation of the Punch is increasing
rapidly, especially since a chapter of!
Hammer and Coffin was secured, and
is expected to continue increasing
throughout the year.
I
FAVORABLE SEASON
1 IN TRACK FORECAST,
i CRACK MEN RETURN
Abbott, Crack Half Miler,
On Campus Again After
Year’s Absence
FALL TRAINING STARTED
Art Tuck, Holder of Coast
Javelin Record, To Be
Back on Squad
| Oregon’s chances for a winning var
sity track team for the coming spring
were materially increased by the re
' turn of Leith Abbott, crack half miler,
; to the campus as a student and the
I eligibility of Ralph Spearow, former
| Multnomah athlete and crack, frosh,
pole vaulter and high jumper, for this
year's squad.
Abbott, who has been absent from the
campus for a year, during which time
he served as telegraph editor on the
desk of the Pendleton Tribune, is one
of the fastest middle distance men in
the Northwest. Two years ago, in the
spring of 1920, Abbott won the North
west conference championship in the
half mile against a strong field in the
fast time of 1.58.
Spearow a Winner
Ralph Spearow, who will be on the
job for the virsity this year, was for a
number of years a consistent winner for
the Winged M in the pole vault, high
jump and relay, last year with the
frosh he had little difficulty in win
ning his events.
Practically all of Oregon's track men
who are eligible for another season with
the varsity are either back or have
signified their intentions of returning
for another year under Bill Hayward.
Arthur Tuck is at present at home
in Redmond, Oregon, but has signified
his intention of returning. Art hung
up a new Coast record last year in
the javlin and is practically certain of
a first place in his event. Scan Collins
star quarter miler, has written that he
will return at the beginning of the
winter quarter which will strengthen
the quarter mile contingent and the
relay team.
W&lkley Looks Good
Captain Glen Walkley looks like a
sure bet in the mile and two mile for
Bill’s aggregation next spring. Walk
ley clipped the Pacific Coast Conference
record a quarter of a second in the
mile, at the conference meet in Eugene
last Junior week-end. Captain Walk
ley’s new time in the mile was 4:28.
The sprints should be fairly well
taken care of this year with Larsen
and Hemenway, lettermen back on the
job and A1 Grilley the frosh speed mer
chant rturning for the winter quarter.
In the half Abbott will find able as
sistance in the person of “Speed” Pel
tier who should bring home some points
for the varsity this year.
In the pole vault there will be three
lettermen on the job, Don Port
wood, Tubby Ingle and “Shrimp” Phil
lips, strengthened by the advent of
Spearow and Rosenburg of the year
lings.
Other Available Talent
“Scotty” Straehan, “Tiny” Shields
and “Chuck” Parsons, a member of
last year’s frosh will handle the
weights, while Art Kuhnhausen and
Webber, a sophomore, look good in the
hurdle events.
Ilayslip and Dick Sundeleaf are back
in school and are ready to go in the
quarter. Both men are veterans and ;
performed on last year’s relay team.
A fair sized turnout greeted Trainer
Bill Haywards first call for track
which is to take the form of cross
country, and is for the purpose of pro
viding fall training for track aspirants.
Bill wants all track men out Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at four.

Guard on Grid
Maulz Holds
Prisoner Line
Carl Mnutz, all-American guard on
Walter Camp’s second team and al
coast guard for three years from the
University of Oregon played his old
position this summer on the Multnomah
county jail line-up. The usual pigskin
gave way to the cold strong bars ot
justice. Mnutz alone faced his hundred
, odd growling opponents, but he smiled
i . . . . for on his huge key ring were
the pieces of steel that held their line,
It is reported that he played his old
, reliable game, allowing no one to break
through his section or score a touch
down under the “bar.”
A mother with an only child could not
tender more love than did Carl when it
came to looking after his charges. It
is said that on Sunday morning he as
sembled them and talked of their
spiritual future, where bread and water
were terms not understood. Visitors
of the jail were entertained with a
complete history of every inmate, his
: accomplishments and talents which had
placed him within the confines of the
1 county bastile.
But Carl’s career had its ups and
downs. These came when the prisoners
j were taken to and from the upper
chambers, via the elevator route. How
ever all was not work for Carl, as he
had his cribbage board near by and
proceeded to establish himself firmly
as champion of the officers of justice.
He will not accept a chair at some
university in crimnology but is now
attending medical school in Portland.

MORE THAN 25 PROFESSORS AND
STUDENTS FALL

Well Known Athletes; Havoc
Wrought This Summer
County clerks, ministers and justices
of the peace had their incomes consider
ably augmented during the vacation
period by the 'marriages of University
students and faculty members. No
fewer than 25 students and seven of the
faculty were married during that time.
Miss Norma Dobie, instructor in Eng
lish literature, and Melvin Solve, assist
ant professor in rhetoric, were married
early in September. Mr. Solve returned
this summer from Norway where ho
studied for a year on a scholarship from
the Ainerican-Scandinavian foundation.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Solve are on the fac
ulty this year.
Another faculty wedding was that of
Miss Catherine Beekley nnd Dr. Henry
B. Yocum, both assistant professors in
the zoology department last year, which
took place in East Orange, New Jersey.
Dr. Yocum is on the faculty again this
year. Lillian Pearson, who graduated
last June, and Dr. Harold Crosland, as
sistant professor of psychology, were
also married during the summer.
George Hopkins, a member of last
year’s senior class and this year instruct
or in the school of music, was married
to Miss Edith Ernst of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, at Claremont, Cal. The mar

Reinhart and DeArmand Out
With Injuries; Backfie'd

NEITHER TEAM IN SHAPE
Oregon Without Punch to Put
Ball Over When Within
Striking Range
| After defeating Willamette Uaiver
j sity on Saturday by the narrow mar
i gin of 7-11 Head Coach Huntington and
| his staff of assistants put the varsity
football machine through a strouuous
workout yesterday, in preparation for
the hard games of the next two woeks.
The squad is handicapped by the loss
of Hill lteinhart, quarter, and Tommy
He Armand, half. Reinhart suffered
an injury to his shoulder iu the battle
with the Bearcats that may keep him
out of a suit for two months, while
Do Armand had his knee badly
wrenched. “Chuck” Parsons suffered
a slight injury to his knee but was
back in a suit yesterday.
Oregon’s varsity is in sad noed of a
good backfield punter and Coach Hun
tington is working several kickors in
the attempt to dovolop one. “Hunk”
Latham is the latest acquisition to
Shy's string of punters and in his first
nights workout looked very promising.
Spike Leslie is getting the carry on
the ball, but liys trouble in getting it
away from him quickly enough. Dutch
Oram is working in nice form but so far
lacks the distance.
Clerin Nearly in Shape
Hugh Clerin’s shoulder which was in
jured last week iu scrimmage is begin
ning to got back into shape under the
capable hands of Trainer Bill Hayward,
and Clerin, who has been showing some
rare promise as a guard, will bo in A1
shape for the battle with Coach Kelly's
Idaho team, October 15.
The game with Willamette was some
thing of a disappointment to the fol
lowers of the Lemon-Yellow and showed
many weaknesses in line and back
field. Although the collegians found
it impossible to penetrate the heavy
varsity line for anything like sub
stantial gains, Oregon lacked the punch
to advance the ball when yardage meant
touchdowns.
The ball remained in the varsity’s
posession during the major portion of
the contest but successive fumbles and
blocked punts prevented heavy scoring,
and it was not until late in the third
quarter that Oregon by a succession of
straight line plays put over her lone
score, Reinhart kicked goal.

Frosh Prexy Ducked;
Old Tradition Upheld
Events in the Bailey Case
Friday 5:30 P. M. : Ralph Bailey
of Salem elected president of tho
Freshman class, and is escorted
home by fifty frosh. Class an
nounces he is not to bo mill raced.
7:45: Kalph Bailey attends Stag
Mix. He is escorted by 100 frosh.
9:30 P. M. Ralph Bailey is spiri
ted away by frosh committee when
introductions start.
10:00 P. M. Ralph Bailey reposes
at his residence, Ninth and Hilyard.
All doors lockcds ,
Midnight: Mysterious doin’!
Meeting of the Soph Dux Klan.
Saturday 2:45 A. M. Ralph Bai
ley goes eight feet over a hedge
into the mill race.
Saturday morning: Ralph Bailey
is booked at the infirmary.
Saturday afternoon: Mat-ting of
the frosh committee on Ninth and
Hilyard.
Next: Ralph Bailey hands in
resignation to Dean Straub. Resig
nation has not yet been accepted.
Another tradition was upheld early
Saturday morning when Ralph Bailey,
newly elected Frosh President, clad in
warm pajamas slipped into the mil!
race, after taking a nose dive over the
hedge near Bachelordon. He was pro
pelled by force supplied by a number of
sophomores.
At 2:35 Saturday morning a masked
group assembled at the eorder of Ninth
and Hilyaid, well known as the home
of President Hailey. Two carried a
thirty foot ladder. One had an axe;
another a complete second story outfit.
No explosives could be detected by the
Emerald reporter, but it is said large
quantities wre concealed among the
masked men. The ladder was placed
against the side of the house. The
leader of the group at this point wus
seen to ring the door bell.
- Now, it happened that an unsuspect
ing fellow by the name of Kelly had
“turned in” late. Tre heard the door
bell. Thinking that someone in the
house had been locked out—he opened
the door. He was immediately seized
by a number of intruders. The fol
lowing dialogue ensued:
“What's your name?” (A little rough
house here).
“Kelly!”
“Say it again!”
“Kelly!”
The mob w'as directed to the bedside
of President Bailey. When Railey
emerged from the millrnce he was told
that he was to be ducked, once every
week. A meeting of large number of
the frosh was called to “thrash” the
problem out. At the conclusion of the
meeting the president interviewed Dean
Straub, and subsequently handed in his
resignation, which has not yet been
accepted.
Records show that President Bailey
was among the students who were
treated at the infirmary Saturday morn.
