YOLUMB XXTTL UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THJRSDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1921 NUMBER 7 ECONOMY KEY NOTE IF STIBENT M FINANCE FOR TEAR Businesslike Administration of Affairs Will Be Goal of Executive Council PRICES FOR GAMES SET Training Table Authorized; Chalk Talks to Follow Evening Meal [ f By FLOYD MAXWELL That economy will be the key note of the administration of the student body finances was the consensus of opinion reached at the first meeting of the executive council held in the Ad ministration building last night. Every effort will be made by the council to find the most economical method of carrying out the needs of the student body activities during the coming year, and a straight businesslike procedure .will govern all expenditures, according to the statements made by both stu dent and faculty members at the meet ing. Committees Slow to Function There was only one noticeable flaw in the working of the now organization at their first' meeting. The various committees are not functioning prop erly yet. A few incidents came up before the council which were purely of a nature which should have been handled by the various committees for ' the purpose, and proposed by the chair-1 man of the committee with the recom mendations as to what disposal should be made of them. The Council im-; mediately voted to refer the matters to the committees for their proper handling. With the new machinery properly j organized it can be plainly seen that | the new governing body will be able to , function with precision and accuracy, j Football Prices Go Up One of the principle items taken up j At the first meeting was the establish ment of the football training table. This was authorized to begin at once, and according to Graduate Manager , Jack Benefiel, 17 members of the foot ball squad will sit at the table tonight. The table which will be at the Anchor age, will be used each evening for din ner. After the dinner a chalk talk will be given by the coaches. Admission to the football games was j discussed, and the price for the one Var sity contest .other than tbje Home coming game Was set at $1.00. For the two freahmen games, one with the Cbemawa Indians on November 5, and the other with Mount Angel College on October 22, the general admission price was set at 50 cents. Price Comparison Made The annual Homecoming game be tween Oregon and O. A. C. will see the introduction of the $2.50 grandstand seat at Oregon as a result of a motion passed at the meeting. In explaining his action in urging the advance in price, ^Graduate Manager Benefiel brought out the fact that California is this year charging $5 for seats in the grandstand at their Homecoming game and that Washington is selling seats for $3 in their new stadium for the games there. There will also be $2.00 and $1.50 seats in the grandstand while the general admission will be $1.00. • That additional bleacher seats will be necessary to accommodate the crowds at Homecoming was brought out by Bene fiel, who estimated the attendance this year would be 15,000. Efiorts are be ing made to provide for the construction of these.* the estimated cost being $2,850. This will provide 6000 additional seats, which will mean fhe construction of a tier of bleachers 20 seats high, on the north end of Hayward field. No definite ac tion'was taken on the matter. Bandmaster is Requested Student President Lyle Barthol omew reported that he had taken up the organization of the band with Major Baird of the R. O. T. C. Major Baird has requested from the commanding of ficer of the R. O. T. C. in t^is section that a retired band master be sent here to lead the band. t Dean Dyment stated that it was Bie plan of the R. O. T. C. to provide a 30 piece band as a nucleus about which an all University band might be organized. The latter will include upper classmen as well as the cadets. The council ratified the appointments of Everett Brandenberg and Bazil Will iams as freshmen football coaches. They fixed the salary at $1000 for the services of the two. Activity Managers Named Arthur Budd was appointed manager of the men’s glee club for the year and Paul Patterson, manager of debate. Maur (Continued on page two) MIGHTY <OSKW’ GIVEN ********* i. \ New * Warwhoop' Is Liked ********* MANY SEE SCRIMMAGE Down the center of the field from goal to goal, th shadow of the Hayward grandstand dividing the verdant turf into dark green and brilliant emerald; scattered over the gridiron, the var sity footbalj men, running down punts and calling signals; in the grandstand, the Thundering Thousand, including a goodly number of co-eds—this was the setting yesterday afternoon when the initial yell practice of the year and tryouts for berths on the yell staff were staged on Hayward field. Yell King Oberteuffer started the program with an “Oskie” which had some difficulty breaking through the incrustations of rust on the rooter’s vocal cords. Following the announce ment of assembly today, “Obie” told the rooters that this year he intended to make the yell staff more of an in stitution at the University. The eight aspirants for honors as his assistants were then introduced in order. Several of the men displayed considerable stage fright and added extra embellishments to the time-honored yells. Always when the potential yell kings floundered in noisy chaos, “Obie” sailed out to their assistance. “If we want to get anywhere we've got to get together” announced “Obie” once after relieving a nervous aspirant of the megaphone. The crowd followed him in an “oskie” which, he said, he wished to t send to Hendricks park, looming clear in the sun over the bleachers of Hayward. The temporary yell staff of eight men, directed by the Yell King, found it difficult to slow down the locomotive veil, but after some persistent practice the speedy locomotive war cry of the students was made to synchronize with the signalling arms of the yell direct ors. The new yell, very simple in it \s. composition and strikingly effective when the rooters follow the antics of the Yell King, was given to the stu dents and received a great hand from the crowd. Th preliminary canto of this varsity warwhoop is the name Ore gon slowly spelled out, the silence be tween broadsides emphasizing each thunderous letter. “Obie” will air it in all its noisy glory to the students in assembly today. Aftef a prolonged period of line holding practice near the north goal post, the coaches assembled the first and second team squads and staged the scheduled scrimmage. As the two teams got set for the exhibition scrimmage, King “Obie” and his white-trousered assistants led the students in the team yell. The first team backed their op ponents up the field and over the line, then ploughed down the turf to the goal posts. Many of the spectators left, before the scrimmage began. The names of the yell assistants chosen by the yell King will be pas sed on by the student council and made known in assembly today. “OLD OREGON” DUE SOON HOMECOMING TO BE FEATURE OF ALUMNI MAGAZINE First Number of Year Expected This Month; Jeanette Calkins Gathering Material Homecoming win be the feature of the first issue of “Old Oregon,” the alumni magazine, which wtf make its initial ap pearance for the year on the campus the latter part of this month. The greater part of the material for this copy is to be furnished by Miss Jeannette Calkins, acting alumni secretary, according to a statement made by Carl Onthank. After the Homecoming number “Old Oregon” will come out every other month, Form letters have been sent out to Ore gon graduates who have not yet paid their dues in an effort to get subscrip tions, A fee of two dollars entitles a graduate of the University to member ship in the alumni association and also to receive “Old Oregon,”' the alumni publication. The dues are usually paid in June, the year being counted from that time. Miss Calkins proclaims an unus ually fine response to these letters, which were sent out Saturday. The first and even the second issue of “Old Oregon” may be put out by the class in editing under the direction of Dean Allen, but Mr. Onthank said that no definite plans have been decided up on. The absence of Miss Grace Edging ton leaves the alumni association without an editor and as yet there is no one to take her place. Erroll Murphy has been appointed as advertising manager. Erma Zimmerman Smvthe, a graduate of the University, and a major in the de partment of journalism, who represent ed the alumni association of the Univer sity of Oregon at the National alumni as sociation convention last year, reported that ‘ ‘ Old Oregon ’ ’ received very favor able comment there. OREGON SIGMA UPSILON WINS NATIONAL PRAISE Xe Tabard Inn Leads in Active Mem bers Now Contributing to Magazines Ye Tabard Inn, local chapter of Sig ma Upsilon, national men’s honorary literary fraternity, wins high praise in the October issue of The News-Let ter, national publication of Sigma Up silon. The mention is made in the section entitled “Noteworthy Activities in Various Chapters.” • ”Ye Tabard Inn,” says The News-Let ter, “has led the field in the number of active members contributing to cur rent magazines. Several of her alumni have graduated into full-fledged pro fessional writers, and are making names for themselves in the literary world.” Chief among the alumni of the organi zation who are professional writers is Edison Marshall, who sold a short story to the Saturday Evening Post while be was a student at Oregon. Leslie Blades and Milton Stoddard, other alumni, have broken into the magazines. E. J. Haycox, the present president of Tabard Inn. has placed several short stories. 700 STUDENTS JOIN CO-OP PLENTY OF TIME YET TO TAKE SHARE, SAYS MANAGER Two Day’s Business More Than Whole Turnover During College Year of ’16-<17 -* More than 700 members joined the University Co-Op in the membership drive which came to a close yesterday after a 10-dav canvass. Although the membership, has not reached the desired total it is as large as it was at the end of last year, if not larger. The campaign was managed by Virgil DeLap, and on th staff of solicitors were Alice Bailey, Marguerite Miles, Johanna Johnson, Wolcott Buren, Jos eph Olsen, H. Westerfield and Peggie Peterson. Marguerite Miles led the solicitors with 215 new members, Alice Bailey came second with 129 and Joseph Olsen third with 125. Although the drive is” over, Manager McClain wishes to remind the students that there is yet plenty of time to join and that any one wishing to do sa may sign up at the Co-Op store. “Business is good,” said Manager McClain yesterday. “In two days last week, we did more business than dur ing the whole year of 1916-’17. Up to the present time there has been some difficulty in obtaining books; but Manager McClain hopes to have this trouble bridged over by the middle of next week. This lack of books, according to McClain, was caused by the large registration, which was about 500 above the highest prediction. MAKERS OF HUMOR WILL ADDRESS CROWD TODAY Neophytes of Hammer and Coffin To Carry Huge Sledgehammer In Campus Peregrination Chaucer is said to have said, “Hit’s not the ’orses ’oofs as attracts atten tion, but the ’ammer ’aininer, ’ammer on the ’ard highway.” Acting on this suggestion two initiates of Hammer and Coffin, national humorous publication I society, will betake their carcasses 1 about the campus today armed with | huge sledgehammers, the business ends ! of which will be carried in a student i like manner over their right shoulders. The staunch little disciples of the i Greek God Thor or walking Arm strong Soda Ads who will make this striking appearance are Owen Call*1 i way and Ep. Hoyt, the former an ar | tist of mean ability, the latter a pror : mulgator of parlor and smokehouse wit. Just before the assembly hour they will mount the library steps together where i Callaway will attempt, in defense of his profession, to draw a crowd, while > Hoyt will entertain with choiee selec i tions of modern comedy. Following the demonstration, the ■ neophytes, i* honor of their being the first to appear publicallv in the in i terest of Hammer and Coffin, will be I permitted to carry the twelve pound weights for the rest of the day. nr that IS FIRST MEEI1 OF STUDEHT BODY Glee Club Will Lead Singing; “Thundering Thousand” to Follow Yell King BENEFIEL TO GIVE REPORT Coaches to Outline Football Prospects; Bohler Also On Schedule The first meeting of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon will be held this morning in Villard hall, at 11 o'clock.

Important announcements will be j made from the floor, and it is impor- j taut that every student be present. Chairs will be placed in the back of the [ hall to accomodate the extra students, ; and juniors and seniors are asked to j sit as far front as possible. President Bartholomw urges all liv- j ing organizations as well as individual students to remind the men of the class of ’25 that it is one of the oldest of Oregon traditions that all frosh should be present at all assemblies. The Order of the O will be present in force, ALL-UNIVERSITY PHOTO V^ILL BE TAKEN TO-DAY Picture of Entire Student Group To Be Used For Publication In State Newspapers Every student in the* University is requested to gather on that part of the 1 campus between the tennis courts and j the Y.

Students can go directly to assembly after the photograph is taken. FORMER STUDENTS MARRY Aline Thompson, ex-'12, and W. C. Klltz, ’10, Were Campus Friends The marriage of Aline Thompson, ex-’12, of Salem, and William Charles Kiltz, ’10, of Vancouver, B. C\, which j took place September 30 at Salem, is the outcome of a friendship which 1 originated on the Oregon campus in \ 1908. Mrs. Kiltz was a popular mem ber of Kappa Alpha Theta during her two years on the campus. Mr. Kiltz is an Oregon graduate and was promi nent in athletics, playing right end on the football team in 1908-9. He is a member of Kappa Sigma. Mr. and Mrs. Kiltz are making their home in Van couver, B. O., where Mr. Kiltz has extensive lumber interests. WOMEN BECOME MARKSMEN More than 100 young women turned out at a meeting to sign up for rifle practice at O. A. C. recentl/. As all the students interested cannot be ac commodated a process of elimination will be used letting only those who make a good showing stay in the class, and thus give all a chance. Howe Offers $5 Prize; His Cas/t Is Safe By offering a prize of five dollars to the student in his class in World Literature who remembered the names of all Chinese books and authors, and all he said about each, Herbert C. IJowe, professor of English Literaturo, held a ray of hope before the eyes of the overworked student who plods along with his faithfulness unrewarded, and set a brilliant example for other mem bers of the faculty. The World Literature class has. for the past two weeks, been wading through a sea of Chinese monosyllables in their effort to grasp the meaning of the great works of Confucius and his school of early Chinese writers and story tellers. Professor Howe’s liberal offer was made to the Tuesday ten o’clock section. Following, as it did, a long list of Chinese books, and their renowned Chinese authors, the propo sition caused something of a commotion among the members of the class. There has been quite a lot of specu lation whether or not this offer came about as a result of the tightening up of the University’s scholastic require ments last winter. There are some who regard it as the beginning of a new tradition on the part of the faculty. No one, as far ns could be ascertained, regarded it as an indication that Pro fessor Howe was becoming careless with his money. 51 Ml5 HUNT CLASSES ACCOUNTING SECTIONS BECOME BADLY MIXED Officials Puzzled Over Problem of Getting Members Into Right Sub-Groups Students enrol Uni in the principles) of accounting classes in the school of business administration have gotten themselves into a veritable Chinese puz zle. Some have signed up in one section and found themselves attending another, according* to Professor 1’. \V. .Tanuoy, instructor. The officials in the new Commerce building are now fairly swamped, straightening out the sections and tol ling everyone just where he belongs. The dims is divided into seven sec tions, each with its own quiz and labora tory sections, and with a lecture period once a week, either at eleven o’clock Tuesday, in Villard hall, or three o ’clock the same day in ro6m 105, Com merce. The sections are divided as follows: Section one, quiz Tuesday und Thurs day at eight o ’clock, lab. Monday and Wedpesday from 8-10; Section two, quiz Monday and Wednesday nt one, lab. Tuesday and Thursday 8-10; Sec tion three, quiz Tuesday and Thurs day at one, lab. Monday and Wednesday 1-8; Section four, quiz Monday and Wednesday at one, lab. Tuesday and Thursday 1-8; Section five, quiz Tues day and Thursday at three, lab. Monday and Wednesday 3-5; Section six, quiz Monday and Wednesday at three, lab. Tuesday and Thursday 3-5; Section seven, quiz Tuesday and Thursday at ten, lab. Saturday from 8-10. The quiz sections of section seven are to be combined with the quiz sections of the other divisions sometime during the next two weeks. SHRINE HOSPITAL MAY JOIN MEDICAL SCHOOL Institution for Crippled Children to Be Erected in Portland, Likely To Be Allied The University of Oregon medical school, according to Dr. Richard R. Dil lehunt, dean of the University medical school, will probably have allied with it the National Hhriue hospital for crippled children to be erected in Port land. It is important, Dr. Dillehunt savs, that such a hospital for crippled child ren be connected with a medical school if possible in order to care for these unfortunate children with utmost ef ficiency, their restoration, when pos sible and their vocational training and education when physical restoration is not possible. Also such a hospital will aid in preventing the crippling of children by teaching doctors preventive methods and by research into causes of deformity. The University of Oregon medical t school during the last four years has cared for more than sixty children from j various parts of the state, their work being hindered by the absence of a specially equipped hospital providing for surgical care ami education of children. The regents of the University acting for the medical school of the University of Oregon has donated a three-acre site on the Marquam Uill campus 'or such a hospital. The situation is away from the noise and dirt of the city, in an elevated, easily accessible posi tion. Tbjp site is near enough to the medical school to afford the hospital the use of the laboratories and facilities of the University. BROWN ANB LESLIE UTEST10 {IMll IN HOSPTTAl End Suffers Broken Nose, and Big Tackle’s Leg Gives Him Trouble REINHART LOST TO TEAM Star Quarter’s Shoulder in Bad Condition; Shy’s Men Still Below Form The Morning Register last night received the following message from the San Francisco Chronicle: “Notwithstanding published re ports that he would soon leave for Eugene, Prince Callison, Olympic Club football star, definitely an nounced today that he would re main here for the present at least.” With daily additions to the varsity injured list prospects for a victory over Idaho, October 15, seem rather dimmed. Rud Brown is the latest member of the squad to be battered. .Brown was kept out of scrimmage yesterday with a broken nose, but will probably soon be back in the harness with the aid ol a nose guard. “Spike” Leslie, var sity tackle has a “mush” leg, aud it is unlikely that he will face Pacific Uni versity on Saturday. Tommy J)e Annaud's knee, which was injured in the fray against the Bearcats is’nt improving very rapidly and he will bo out of the game for some time, although he put in an ap pearance< in a suit last night. DeAr mand who is one of the fastest of the backficld prospects may be ready for the battle with Coach Kelley’s Gem Staters in Portland; he will be if Bill Hayward’s skill can put him in shape. Reinhart’s Injury Serious Billy Reinhart came back to Eugene yesterday, but was sent back to Port land by Trainer Hayward for an X Ray photograph. Reinhart's shoulder is badly shattered and Hayward is dubi ous about a quick return to the grid iron. Horaee Bvler, candidate for guard dislocated his knee Tuesday and will be out of the game for several days. Hugh Plerin is eomiftg around nicely an<l though his Hhoulder is still very stiff he will soon be available for duty. Chuck Parson’s twisted knee is in nice condition and he will be used against Pacific on Saturday. With Leslie and Reinhart'out of the game the kicking will probably devolve upon Shields, Gramm and Chapman. Shields and Gram are making respect able showings with their punts, while Hal Chapman is rapidly educating bis toe in kicking placements and drops. Punting Situation Bad The varsity is weaker this year in its punting than it has been for many Reasons and Huntington has a stiff task before him to develop a real kicker who is fast enough to get the ball away without being blocked. Both Shields and "Spring” Johnson are passing nicely and will probably be able to take charge of that phase efficiently. The varsity wns given a stiff work out last night with an hour’s scrim mage, and the dose will in all proba bility be increased tonight. The squad will be put through its paces on Friday, but there will be little if any scrim mage and the workout will be light in comparison with those of the proceed* ing evenings. No Farcy Stuff Saturday As was the case against Willamette, straight football, linebueks, off tackle plays, and short end runs will be counted upon to lower the collegians’ colors. Little forward passing is looked for and the few used will probably be short. Coach Huntington wishes to use the game Saturday to the fullest extent possible to point out the team’s weak spots and to develop the needed punch and drive before the big games start. RUCH WRITES BULLETIN Oregon Graduate Doing Advanced Work At Stanford This Year (1. M. Ruch, a University of Oregon graduate now doing advanced work at Stanford, is the author of a bulletin recently received hv the school of edu cation. Mr. Ruch’.s work was the re sult of an extended research on the correlation of the estimated will power of a person with the amount of will power that actual scientific research disclosed. Mr. Ruch graduated from the school of education in 1918, prior to which he served for two years on the staff of the University high school. The two* years after his graduation he served as principal of the campus school.
