NUMBER 13
INSIGHT INTO WORK
OF CONGRESS GIVEN
BY‘PAM ARTHUR
Representative Explains At
Assembly How House
Is Organized
COMMITTEE DUTIES TOLD
Speaker Member of Class of
, 1901; Took Part in
Many Activities
An insight into the work of con
gress was given the University stu
• tints and faculty at the assembly in
Villard hall yesterday morning when
Hon. C. N. (Pat) McArthur, represen
tative from the third district of Or>.
.gon, and well-known on the campus
as , a member of the class of 1901,
gave an address, using this subject as
his theme.
‘‘Organization and rules are abso
lutely necessary if legislation is going
to succeed,” he said placing particular
emphasis on this point. “Somebody has
to be boss; there must be teamwork in
legislation as well as in anything else.”
He then proceeded to explain how the
actual work of Congress is done by com
mittees, and how this is the most ef
ficient way of accomplishing the vari
ous tasks that come before it. Rep
resentative McArthur had with him a
book of rules of the house of represen
tatives, and showed it to the students
while he pointed out that one must hear
the matters discussed in order to ab
sorbe them. “You can’t sit down and
learn these rules from the book but you
get them just as a lawyer learns
law at his client’s expense.”
Duties are Outlined
The duties of the most important com
mittees of the house were outlined by
the congressman, who placed the ways
and means committee fieat on the list.
On this committee, which provides the
necessary methods of taxation to meet
the government expenses, are 25 mem
bers, one of whom is Congressman Haw
ley, of Oregon, who Mr. McArthur says,
is a most valuable • member. The
steering committee, which is not an
official committee in the house, outlines
what shall be taken up, and what mat
ters shall find their way to the legis
lative scrap heap, and consequently,
according to the speaker, determina
tion is one of the necessary qualifact
tions of the eommittee members.
Idaho is the only state west of the
Becky mountains which is represented
on the appropriations committee, the
duty of whose members it is to handle
the “purse strings” of the government.
Mr. McArthur said that the qualifica
tions for membership on this committee
are very rigid. The men must be suc
cessful in a business way and have the
courage to say ^No” to entreaties for
money. Mr. McArthur is a member of
the committee on naval affairs.
Was Former Oregon Student
“Pat” McArthur entered the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1896, and during
his college career here was president of
the student body, manager of the foot
ball team, and editor of the Oregon
Weekly.
Preceding the speech Madame Bose
McGrew, of the school of music, sang
two solos. The new members of the
men’s and women’s glee clubs made
their first appearance yesterday morn
ing and assisted the students in sing
ing the opening hymn.
MOBE ATTENDING MINNESOTA
The registration figures for the*fall
quarter show 7,270 in attendance at
the University of Minnesota. This is
251 greater than on the opening of the
second week a year ago.
One Thousand %
Seats at Game
Await Rooters
“ There are one thousand seats wait
ing for us, are we going to fill them I” '
is the question asked by Yell King ;
“Obie.” ‘ ;
One thousand seats in the center sec
tion of the bleachers, on Multnomah j
field, have been .eserved by Jack j
Jienefiel, graduate manager, for Ore- j
gon rooters. Tickets for admission to
the game can now be purchased at the
Co-Op for fifty cents provided you pre
sent your student body ticket at the
time of the purchase.
The old grads, says Benefiel, will be
there about two thousand strong and
will have h reserved section in the
grand stand. Lyle Brown, ex ’12 base
ball man and yell leader, will be there
to take charge of the grads lung exer
cise.
“Assembly will be sounded for Ore
gon ’s rooting forces at one o ’clock
sharp at the Imperial hotel,” says
“Obie,’’after which everybody will fall
in and parade up to Multnomah field.”
“Obie” and Fred Woods, another of
''regon’s noise specialists, will be there
in uniform to lead their forces.

FIVE REPORTERS NAMED
First Freshmen of Year Appointed to
Staff of Oregon Daily Emerald
Five more names have been added to
those appointed to the news staff of
the Emerald. Those whose names ap
pear in'the masthead this morning for
the first time are Herbert Larson, Mil
Dred Weeks, Edwin Fraser, Margaret
Powers and Doris Holeman.
This is accordance with the policy of I
appointing a few at a time as they |
prove their merit. Freshmen are ap- ;
pointed to the staff this morning <pr
the first time this year. There are a
great many trying out for the staff
and the competition insures the best 1
possible material.
Frosh Who Vanished in’19
Back After Look at World
Back in the spring of 1919 a wearer
of the verdant derbv mysteriously dis
appeared from the campus. Rumor had
it that he had last beefl seen headed
toward the mill race with the expressed
intention of going canoeing. Several
months later the Emerald solved the
mvstery of the freshman’s disappear
ance by printing the information that
the missing *man not only was alive
but was serving his country as a rook
in the regular army.
Late Wednesday evening there
breezed into the journalism shack a
chap with a sea going air and a salty
expression. Ernest Bichter was his
name. The frosh who left suddenly in
1919 was also Ernest Bichter. E. A.
Richter, student jdfirnalist, soldier, and
sailor is back on his old hunting ground.
Richter served one year in the army j
after having decided that college edu
cation was too academic and that prac- j
tical experience was the best instruc
tor. He was released from the service
last June, and shipped out on the high
seas in a merchantman. Richter cruised
through the canal to Galveston and up
and down the Pacific coast for several
months on the S. S. Isis. He was dis
charged in San Francisco three days
ago and immediately steered toward Eu
gene with the campus as his guiding
star.
The prodigal son yesterday registered
in the University and intends to com
plete his course in journalism.
WOMEN’S SPORTS
TO START REGUUR
SCHEDULE MONDAY
Gymnasium Instruction to Take
Last Six Weeks of
Fall Quarter
VOLLEYBALL IS POPULAR
Miss Manchester in Charge of
Classes; Hockey Series
Will be Played
With the physical examinations,
which have been keeping the instruc
tors in the physical education depart
ment busy since the opening of school,
practically over, the classes in sports
will begin their regular schedule Mon
day. Hockey, volleyball, swimming,
canoeing, archery and folk dancing will
take up the first six weeks of the fall
term and the rest of the time will be
devoted to gymnasium work.
Volleyball is being Introduced into
the University as a girl’s sport this
year and according to the number en
rolled in the classes it bids fair to be
come as popular a fall sport as hockey.
The department hopes to put on a num
ber of competitive games to increase
the interest. Miss Gertrude Manches
ter, who was an instructor in the T. W.
C. A. college in New York City, will
have charge of the classes.
A suitable field for the hockey games
has been a problem for the past few
years but this year the girls will play
back of the Woman’s building and
south of the men’s baseball diamond, on
the field which was originally theirs,
and where several years ago they de
feated O. A. C. Under the direction
of Miss Waterman the usual series of
interclass games will be played if the
weather permits.
Swimming and folk dancing will be
under the direction of Miss Winslow,
and the girls have their choice of three
hours of swimming or two hours of
folk dancing and one of swimming. The
archery classes are full according to
Miss Thompson who will have charge
of them, assisted by Miss Manchester.
Canoeing under the direction of Miss
Waterman is being reserved for majors
as there are only three canoes for the
use of the department.
THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY CUT
ONLY ONE DAY OFF, WORK ON
FRIDAY, BAYS FACULTY
November Study Too Much Broken Up
In Opinion of Members of
Teaching Staff
There will be but one day vacation
for Thanksgiving this year. This ac
tion on the part of the faculty was
taken February 3, 1921, in connection
with legislation on the opening and clos
ing dates of the Fall term. At that
time the faculty voted that “Thanks
giving vacation be abolished with the
exception of Thanksgiving Day itself.”
The vote of the faculty was the result
of experience in the fall term of 1920.
At the beginning, of that term the
faculty raised the University standards
materially fti most departments. All
went well until November, when a
series of interruptions occured. Armis
tice day, Homecoming Week-end, the
week-end of the O. A. C. game and
Thanksgiving-week-end caused such a
break that the scholastic momentum
of the fall tejm was much reduced.
This year the same series of breaks
would> occur if the Friday holiday ex
isted. Homecoming week-end begins
the 19th and Thanksgiving is the fol
lowing Thursday. After Homecoming
the students, according to some mem
bers of the faculty, would not accom
plish muuh the first of the week, if
looking forward to vacation Thursday,
and Friday.
Final examinations, only three weeks
’distant from this Thanksgiving holi
day is another reason for the decision
of the faculty against an open Friday.

Huge Reward Offered at
Y.M.-Y. W. Mix Tonight
By LEITH ABBOTT
Camptfsdom has grown tired of read
ing the words “biggest and best” which
for the past many years have ^>een
applied by ambitious press agents to
every sort,of student enterprise under
the sun. Henceforth thJ committee
members in charge of the Y. M.-Y. W.
mix at the new armory tonight, while
they are confident that the function
is to be the “biggest and. . .
have adopted a new method of adver
tising the fact. They will give 150,
000 yen, truly a handsom prize, to any
student who, after attending tonight's
big function does not acclaim it “the
best time I have had in college.” Any
one desiring to claim the prize may do
so by notifying the chairman who will
be in front of the library between the
hours of 2 a. m. and 6 a. m. tomorrbw
morning to receive applicants.
Originality and snap have guided
the committee in arranging tonight’s
festivity. New features will be an
nounced every five minutes for the en
joyment of the thousand or more stu
dents who will attend. A program of
stunts that will please will be one of
the main attractions and in staging
these there will be no delay between
acts.
Co-eds are reminded that an exhibi
tion of especial interest has been ar
ranged for them in the shape of a fast
boxing bout between two of the best
mit men on the campus and while there
lias been a ban placed on betting the
opportunity of seeing an “houost-to
goodness” fistic encounter lias its en
ticements.
All will take part in a new stunt the
characteristics of which are being
closely guarded until tonight. A mask,
homemade or a handkerchief, will be
the only necessary paraphernalia.
A serpentine will leave the library
at 8 o’clock this evening and wend its
way to the armory passing all organi
zations en route. Men with band in
struments are requested to meet at the
library at 7:30.
Or*er of the O men and committee
chuirmen will meet at the armory at
7:45 to get everything in readiness for
the marching hordes when they reach
the fun palace.
Attired in old clothes or costumes
any University student may gain en
trance at the armory for the nominal
sum of ten cents. One nickle will be
necessary to acquire a copy of Sigma
Delta Chi’s “Fizzbang,” declared to be
the snappiest thing in the way of news
papers to have gladened the campus
since 1919. For another nickle ele
phant fruit, alias peanuts, may be pro
curred. Doughnuts and cider in un
limited quantities will be served free
during the evening.
Harkening back to the “biggest and
. . . . etc.” realm this is the one all
University function of its kind dur
ing the year.

Coach Edwin Durno yesterday, the .
time from 4 o’clock until 4:45 will bo j
devoted to the men who know abso
lutely nothing about the game, but wish
to play it. The time from 4:45 o’clock
until 5:30 is for men who know some
thing about the fundamentals of the
game, but are not experienced- Exper- !
ienced men are not wanted on the floor
during these hours, and are urged to
do their practicing during the day. ‘‘It
is our aim to develop new material dur
ing those hours” said Mr. Durno, “and
we do not wish to be bothered by men
who already know the game, for the'
ran do their practicing at other times.”
The time from 7 o’clock until 10 in
the evening is to be reserved for the dif
ferent doughnut teams to practice, ac
cording to Mr. Durno. One hour wi 1

MIX PROGRAMS TO APPEAR
ABBOTT CHOSEN TO HEAD COPS;
KUHNHAUSEN AWAY
“Harmony and Harmony Only” Will
Win Yelling Contest, Says Brad
dock; Tangle Starts at One
The programs for the underclass mix,
printed with pure fresh blood, will be
issued on the morning of the fatal day,
tomorrow, according to “Doc” Brad
dock and “Hup” Hazard, who are edit
ing the sheet. (Quoting the two
“worthies” word for word, ‘,‘The pro
grams will be the Biggest and the Best
and everyone will get his money’s
worth.” Promptly at 1 o’clock the tan
gle will commence, and although stunts
are scheduled every man must come
fully dressed.
Speaking with much past experience
“Doc” Braddoek issues the following
advice to the frosh, “Harmony and
harmony only will win the yelling con
test so I would ail vise all frosh to bring
their tuning forks with them. Frosh be
sure and leave your music at home as
the singing contest is for women only;
but don’t forget your voices as the
howling fest will be for both men and
frosh.”
The mix will be under the eagle eye
and the guiding wing of the senior
cop force headed by President Leith
Abbott, who will take the place of Art
Kuhnhauaen, the regular chief, who will

ed for Portland, where tomorrow on his
toric Multnomah field the Lemon-Yel
low will do battle with the fighting
Gemstaters from Moscow.
The teum will stay at the Imperial
Hotel while iu the metropolis and this
afternoon will work out on the Multno
mah club field between 2:00 and 3:00
preceding the game between Hill Military
Academy and the eleven from Forest
Grove high school. The workout will bq
mainly confined to signal practice and
kicking. •
Idaho Strength Fund
'With Idaho at the top of its form
and with its strong last year’s team
practically intact, Ueud Loach Hun
tington is not especially optimistic over
the outcome, but is convinced that if
the varsity cun take this game with
few injuries the Lemon-Yellow will pre
sent a strong front ugainst the other
coast teams with whom games are
scheduled. However, Idaho has such a
strong team in the field this fall that
a defeut at their bauds will be a long
way from a sign of Oregon weakness.
Idaho will take the field Saturday
with prob^Jdy, Goff, at center, Brown
Evans or Neal in the guard positions,
Gliudeman and Stipne at tackle, S.
Breshears, and Cobloy iu the wing po
sitions, with “Beany” Breshears at
quarter, “Buck” Breshears at fullback,
Wbitcomba at right half and Irving at
loft.
t New Men Strong
Thu Gemstute team lost but two of
its lust year’s eleven, Perrin at right
tackle and Plastino at center. Per
rine, though famous as an Olympic
athlete, was not rated very highly as
a tackle and Stone from last year’s
freshman eleven is playing the first
year on the varsity lino is expected to
strengthen the team considerably. Goff,
who takes the great Plastino’s place at
center, played with the Idaho yearlings
last year and is looked upon as a comer.
Idaho made its scores agalast the
strong Camp Lewis team on placements
and possessing an experienced booter
in the backfield, is conceded a slight
advantage over Oregon in this depart
ment. For though Parsons, and Chap
man have been showing excellent stuff
in practice in the way of placements
and dropkicks have not yet been tried
under fire.
Leslie To Punt
“Spike” Leslie, will do the booting
for Oregon and has been getting away
some long punts in practice. With the
development of the secondary defense
and the strengthening of the line it
will be practically impossible for the
Idaho aggregation to duplicate Wil
limette's feat ^n blocking the big
tackle’s kicks.
