VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1921. NUMBER 25. SPIRIT EMPHASIZED BY MAJOR GILBERT IN VESPER ADDRESS Stress Laid Upon Fact That University Aids Students Realize Spiritual MUSICAL NUMBERS GOOD John Stark Evans With Choir of University Students In Strong Program “The spiritual things, the intangible things are the things worth while; they are beyond price; they are not really things at all,” said Major Wil lian S. Gilbert, regent of the Univer sity, former chaplain in the United States army overseas, wearer of the Croix de guerre, head of Oregon’s American Legion, and now pastor of the First Presbyterian church of As toria, at the first Sunday Vespers of the year yesterday at 4:30 in the Methodist church. “Emphasis upon the Spiritual” was the subject that Major Gilbert an nounced. When the Germans were invading France it was something spiritual, something intangible, it was the spirit of France that stopped them on the Marne; if the “Old Oregon fight” is anything like the spirit of France, then there is something to be calculated upon in that game three weeks from now. The charm of the West is a spiritual thing, pointed out the man who influenced thousands of soldiers in the time of the war. Should Have Realization “When students return to their homes without a touch of new reali zation of the spiritual they have failed to interpret the life of the University,” he said, and added that emphasis on the Tight things demands that students be men and women of vision. Referring to the inspiration of the war he said, “The war gave me a solu awakening to things I could not see, it made me realize what it meant to be an American; I saw that America was not rivers and brooks - and trees, but something spiritual.” The increased participation of stu dents in church activities as shown by memberships means much to the people at home. The percent has been steadily increasing. More people were inter ested in the story telling about this fact, in the Portland papers than in any other story this year, said Major Gil bert. Pipe Organ is Used The pipe organ of the church was used in the musical program, made pos sible by holding the services in the church, rather than in Villard hall as in former years. John Stark Evans of the school of music, organist, and a choir of University sladents made the program unusually strong. Helen Harper played Massenet’s Elegie in a violin solo and made a very favorable impression. SOMBREROS TAKE FLIGHT Two Seniors Vow Horrible Vengence on Nefarious Villan The sombreros of the two senior men, were whisked away while the two were attending a student council meeting in the Administration building last Wed nesday. Although outwardly calm, the two seniors, Art Campbell and Tubby Ingle, are inwardly wrought up about the theft. With a determined flash in his eye, Ingle said to the Emerald reporter, “We’ll dissect the devil who made away with them.” “Tes, we’ll pull ’im apart!” broke in Campbell. Both men had the mien that for bodes trouble to the offender. Repression of Strong Story Is Attempted Scandal will out. Skeletons cannot be kept in the family closet in these days of progressive journalism. “If you nm that story, I’ll . . ,” thundered Kenneth Smith in a men acing fashion to an Emerald reporter when the meek journalist queried him about a recent disconcerting episode. Disconsolate and dejected the reporter meandered back to the shack. “Cheer up,” advised an edi tor,” truth will out.” Here is the story: “What a pretty little kitten,” coed a University girl, as she reached the end of Alder street with her escort. So magnamiously Ken Smith stooped over into the road, saying, “Never fear, I’ll get it for you,” and picked up the striped beauty. When he returned to the Pi Phi house with the yoimg lady, the indig nant Pi Phi slammed the door in his ■ face. | When he went home to the Delta Tau Delta house, his brother Delts spurned him until he had buried his clothes. Even then it was hard to forgive. The pretty “kitty” belonged to he mephitis family, popularly, or per haps unpopularly, known as the skunks. “It was too strong a story to be suppressed,” said the news editor.

(Continued on page three) House Mothers Rival Freshmen in Gym Work It is not only the freshman flapper or their proportionately more dignified upper-class sisters who are displaying ability as gymnasts on the Oregon cam pus, nor are they the only persons cap able of performing feats of gymnastic skill which cause their mother’s hair to rise in terror. For, disproving the old adage that youth, or perhaps we should say, ex treme youth alone is capable of ener getic activity, the house mothers on the campus have resumed their class in physical culture, organized last winter, and are reporting enthusiasti cally as to the enjoyment and benefits of their work. Mrs. Lettie Mowry, house mother of Kappa Kappa Gamma, is conducting the class, which is meeting Tuesday evenings in the dancing room adjoining the gymnasium of the Woman’s build ing. An invitation is extended to all faculty women and wives of faculty men to join the class, and Mrs. Mowry assures all who do so, full measure of benefit and enjoyment. Renew youth for those whtr need it, and preserve youth for all the rest. STUDENT EDITORS UNO PRESIDENTS 10 CONVENE JOINTLY College Writers Have Second Conference: Heads Gather For First Time U. /OF W. MEETING PLACE | Press Association Plans for Election of Officers and Many Speeches University of Washington, Seattle. Oet. 31.—(P. I. N. S.)—The second an nual conference of the Pacific Inter collegiate Press Association and the first annual conference of the associ ated student body presidents will be held jointly here this week. The stu i dent presidents are meeting in con junction with the editor’s conference at the invitation of the press associa tion as it is thought probable that much mutual benefit in the matter of I handling student affairs could come from the joint discussions. The conference will open with a banquet Thursday evening and will close with the University of Washing; ton in the role of host at the annual Stadium Day dance Saturday night. The final business session will be held Saturday morning, allowing the guests to attend the Stanford-Washington football game in the Stadium in the afternoon. Organized at U. of O. The Pacific Intercollegiate Press Association which has a membership1 of all the larger college publica tions on the Pacific Coast, was organized at the University of Oregon last year. The members include the University of Washington Daily, The Daily Californian, The Palo Alto Daily, The Oregon Daily Emerald, the O. A. C. Barometer, The Southern California Trojan, The Whitman College Pioneer. The Willamette Collegian, the W. S. C. Evergreen, The University of Ne vada Sagebrush, The Conzaga, and The Ubvssey. Representatives of all these publications will attend the conference here this week. First Meeting of Presidents The association of student body presidents was organized last year and this is the first big conference which has been held. The meeting was called by Lyle Bartholomew, president of the associated students of the University of Oregon, who is president of the as sociation of student body presidents. !

Seven cars of foreign invaders were seen traveling about the sacred pre cincts of Hayward field, and aroused the suspicions of bystanders. On pass ing a crowd of frosh they shouted, “We’ll get you tonight.” How they were going to do the getting or what they were going to get was not're vealed. Wild rumors were current of how the grandstand and “O” were to be daubed with orange and black paint, but until a late hour nothing materialized. A long vigil was held by the willing frosh, determined that the campus should remain unmarred. Because the annual 0. A. C.-Oregon game is not far off and because peace has existed with the rival colleges for some time, many claimed to know the identity of the alleged foreign pillagers; but no of ficial cognizance was given. TODAY [AST MACE TO PAT DELINQUENT LABORATORY FEES Credits Wil be Lost Unless Late Students Get Busy Before 3:00 P. M. NO EXTENSION GRANTED Non-Resident Members Must Pay Tuition Upon Receipt of Notification “Pay Up!” is the desperate cry sounded in the cashier’s office for the benefit of those students who are de linquent in paying their laboratory fees. “TJiis afternoon at 3 o’clock every student 6f the University who hasn’t paid his fees will be automatic ally dropped from the University, and can only be admitted by the payment of the fees, and in any case can gain no credit for those studies in which the laboratory fees were not paid on the date prescribed. And remember, gym fees are considered as lab fees,” warns Cashier E. P. Lyon. “The office closes promptly at 3 o’clock.” “We have done all we could to make it clear to the students that the fees simply must be paid,” says Mr. Lyons, “^o have run several announcements in the Emerald, we have warned the students as they came to the windows; we have had the signs up since regis tration day—but there are still a lot of delinquents whom we hate to can.” Doubtful Ones Warned “If you have any doubt .whatsoever,” says Lyons, “Come up and let us check your card. Do not wait for a personal notice, for we are not sending them out.” “The rule in regard to the fee is plainly printed in sections *14 and 45 in the University Regulations,” says Registrar Carlton E. Spencer, “and unless Mr. Lyon grants an extension of time the consequences are auto matic.” There will be no extension of time. There is no alternative. There is nothing to do but pay your fees, pay your tax, and heed the cry of Cashier Lvon before 3 o’clock today. ‘Pay Up’.” Non Residents Notified The 175 recently matriculated stu 1 dents from outside of the state included in the operation of the law requiring the payment of $20 non-tesiden tui- j tion fee will, in the course of the next day. or two, receive notification that the fees are due, in accordance with information given out at the registrar’s! office yesterday. “The letters are being mailed at the | present time,” says the registrar, “And the fees will be payable on the receipt I of the letter. No date of delinquency j has yet been set, but prompt payment j is expected. “There is no doubt that there are l many included in the 175 who feel that they should be exempted from the i fee, but those names on the file at the ; present time were taken from all avail able information which we have on ! hand. An opportunity will be offered for every student to file additional i information, if they desire, for their claim for exemption. Forms for giv ing a more detailed statement of resi dence can be had by application at the cashier’s window in the administration building. NICHOLAS JAUREGUY WINS SCHOLARSHIP AT HARVARD Oregon Man’s Distinguished Work in Law School Wins Recognition From Faculty Nicholas Jaureguy, a graduate of the University of Oregon with the class of 1917, has just been awarded a faculty scholarship in the Harvard law school for distinguished work in the school, according to a communica tion received from the Harvard News. This is Jaureguy’s third year at Har vard. While attending the university, Jaureguy majored in economics. He was president of the student body in 1917. On June 1, 1917 he enlisted in the service and was discharged on April 10, 1919. Jaureguy was prominent in campus activities while at Oregon. He was a member of Tau Kappa Alpha and Friars. He was a varsity debater and took part in oratorical contests. He won the alumni medal and the Koyl cup, the latter during his junior year. He also won the Beekman prize of $100 for the second best oration given at commencement. Jaureguy’s home is in Tacoma, Washington, but his present address is 40 Kirkland street, Cambridge, Mass. Doughnuts Arc Wholly Good, Women Insist Today is the day. Tomorrow will be too late. Five cents for the doughnut, and the powdered sugar is free. There is lots of doughnuts, and very little hole. They (the doughnuts) are the biggest, in town. Be like little Johnny^ Little Jphnny was exceedingly fond of doughnuts and never was known to get enough, always being forcibly restrained by his mother from over eating. His fond auntie asked him if he had EVER had enough dough nuts. He said “yes, once.” “How did you know you had had enough?" “Well,” said little Johnny. “I ate till I hurt then X ate one more.” Theta Sigma Phi which is selling the doughnuts, recommends this plan to you. Bring your nicklos and lot your conscience be your guide. There is a stand at the library steps, and girls with baskets will be stationed on every thoroughfare. Have your nickle ready, they will do the rest. B. FRANK IRVINE IR Tfll.K THURSDAY Blind Editor of Journal Will Discuss World Vision At Assembly B. Frank Irvine, editor of the Port land Oregon Journal, will addross the student body at Thursday’s assembly, upon the subject of the “Elimination of Armaments.” Mr. Irvine, although totally blind, has been prominent as a journalist for a number of years. After his grad uation from Willamette University, he operated a Scio paper, and later became editor of the Corvallis Gazette-Times. He then became connected with the editorial staff of the Oregon Journal, and at that, time attracted considerable attention as an editorial writer. He became editor of the paper, several yea rs ago. Mr. Irvine is an unusually fine speaker, ranking ns one of the fore most orators of the state. Tie was the speaker on Mother’s Day at the Uni versity in 1920. Mr. Irvine, who is a member of the board of regents of O. A. C,, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, in the coming election. PICTURES TO BE SHOWN Fred Kaiser, Portland photographer, will show moving pictures of western scenery, Wednesday night in Villard hall, to an invitational audience, con sisting of members of the faculty and their wives. Mr. Kizer will later re lease these pictures upon a north western circuit. OREGON 1) MEET O.A.C. HOMECOMING IN SOCCER CONTEST Past Week Shows Increase in Number of Men Out For Evening Practice REGULAR SQUAD DEPLETED Lynn Roycroft, Monte Byers, Clifford Vester Are Late Additions to Team News from the turf, players, ami the powers that be, scent to indicate that soccer, a sport whose status lias been in a state of uncertainty at Oregon this fall, will again have a place on the schedule of athletic events this year. ■ More men have turned out for the ! evening practices during the oast week than at any time since the regular ; squad began booting the pill around K im-aid. No gr,mts have been definitely ar ranged as yet, but Phil Brogan, mana , ger of the soccer team has said that it is probable that O. A. 0. will be asked for a game here during Homocoming. If the men show good form and demon strate their willingness to brave the 1 mud of Kincaid for daily practice, it i is probable that the squad will arrango a game with a team of the Portland Soccer association, to be played in Portland. Several Men Transferred The soccer gvm classes aro develop ing some good men who will greatly bolster up tlie depleted regular squad. Prof. Gerald Barnes of the athletic department has agreed to transfer several capable men to the vnrsitv team. Several of his men have played on teams in foreign countries. One of these, a Chinese lad, played in some of the great intersectional games in his native country. So far this year the soccer men have been practicing in a variety of make shift uniforms, but Benefiel has prom ised them better outfits in a few days. The lack of uniforms prevented the players from turning out on masse dur ing the initial practices. Failure of many of last year’s men to return to school this fall has badly disrupted the varsity aggregation. Bast, year is was the fighting work of “TTay” Sehmeer under the goal posts, and a group of backfield players with accurate boots, which held the Aggie players to two tie games. This year Sehmeer is not back in school, having graduated, and the backfield is shot to pieces} Sehmeers place will be ha yd to fill, but several men with mighty kicks are now showing their wares. Among these is Lynn Rovcroft, a man who has played the game with the A. E. F. forces .overseas. “Monty” Byers, former Franklin star and skilled player on last year’s team, is training his port boot on the left wing this year. Clif ford Vester is showing professional form at outside right. The forward (Continued on page four) “Idaho Doughboy” Statue Result of Some Real Work “The idea didn’t just come to me” said Assistant Professor Avard Fair banks of the art department, when questioned on the subject of his statuo, “The Idaho Doughboy.” “Art takes the hardest kind of creative thinking, and I applied myself on the subject for a long time before I finally reached a decision.” The state of Idaho has officially accepted “The Idaho Dough boy” for its memorial to the men who fought and died in the world war. The statue is that of a lone American soldier, who stands with his gun ready, and his jaw set, prepared to throw back an attack if it is launched. Previous victory is shown by the defensive ar mored headgear of the enemy which he carries. The figure is that of a typical Northerner, for it shows the Northwest both in the physical makeup and the spirit of the man as indicated by the set of his jaw and his unconquerable attitude. The Idaho Memorial commission ap pointed by Governor Davis selected Mr. Fairbanks to design the memorial for the state for two reasons. The first was his remarkable talent; the second that Idaho claims him as a native son. The plans of the Idaho memorial committee are not complete yet, accord ing to Mr. Fairbanks. The present plan is to have 10 statues of “The Dough boy” in different poses, erected in 10 different counties of the state. Those statues are to be larger than lifesize anil east from bronz. The completed plans may perhaps include a very large statue of “The Doughboy” to be placed in Boise. Mr. Fairbanks estimates that it will take him at least two months to finish his modeling of the statue, and that it will take a year after his models were finished before the bronz casts can be made and set up. • The work has been widely viewed and discussed, and according to many critics this statue of the doughboy is the best work that has appeared along this line since the war. Mr. Fairbanks attained success in the realm of art at a very early age, for when only 13 years of age he won a scholarship in the Art Students League of New York, and at 11 years exhibited in the National Academy of Design. At 17 he was accepted as a student in Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris without an examination, which was a great honor. From that time to this his triumphs in art have been many, and today he ranks high as a creative sculptor and modelor. Mr. Fairbanks is quite reticent con cerning himself and his life, but will talk freely of his work. He is an as sistant professor in the art department of the University.
