Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1921 NUMBER 26 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL m EXPENDITURE Amounts Asked by Orchestra, League and Football Satisfactory SEPARATE COPIES ASKED Funds to Send Bartholomew and Emerald Editor to Conference Voted Discussion of the budgets in the various lines of activities, which were presented to the executive council oc cupied the greater part of the meet ing of the body yesterday. The bud gets, which are destined to carry the activities over until January 15, 1922, when the complete budgets for a year are required, were in many cases too large and the decision of the finance committee of the executive council was unanimous to return these to their respective committees for revising and cutting down in various expenditures. Three are Ratified The only ones ratified by the finance committee of the council were those of the orchestra, women’s league and the football committee. The sugges tion that the council ratify the bud gets as they were presented and recom mended by the finance committee, met with opposition on the part of various members of the council. It was held by these members that as the council was charged with complete financial responsibility, it is necessary that each member of the council be supplied with copies of the budgets to study at length and vote upon at a meeting after plen ty of time had been allowed for the discussion of various amendments and suggestions. The question was first raised by Dean Dyment, who declared that any action of the council at this time while the new constitution was being tested would be taken as a precedent at other times during the year, and that the council must realize the financial re sponsibility with which it is charged. In the opinion of Dean Bovard, it should be the duty of every member of the executive council to know the various items of expenditures as they ! were called for by the prepared budgets. The discussion resulted in a motion being made by D. Walker that a com-1 plete copy of each budget submitted to the council, be furnished each mem ber of the body. The motion was passed and Graduate Manager Jack Benefiel was instructed by President Bartholomew to prepare the copies for each member as the budgets were sub mitted. Football Work Interferes Benefiel declared that the work of his office during the football season was such that it would be impossible to prepare the copies in detail and have them ready for the next session of the council. Dean Dyment sug gested that the manager submit the budgets as they came in, not to attempt | to prepare them all for action at once, and as this appeared to be the con census of the council, the graduate manager was instructtd to follow out this suggestion. It was clearly the opinion of many members of the council that the cutting down of budgets be distributed uni formly and not thrown as a burden on (Continued on page three) Girls, Captive, Starving, Saved By “R. Porter” Let’s see, would you say B. Porter flowed down or slid down? Well, if four girls are locked in a room in Susan Campbell hall for nearly three i hours and B. Porter comes to their rescue spider-like from the third I story with a rope as his web, it is proper to say that B. Porter slid down. ’Twas like this: Late in the after noon one day during the week-end just passed four girls in the hall just mentioned were hurridly prepar ing for the evening meal. In their accelerated preparations the door was banged shut, breaking the lock spring. Four damsels were prisoners in their own castle. For some time the imarisoned girls worked at the lock, but finally much banging and excited voices heralded the fact that the inmates desired to get out. They were Informed that masculine assistance'would soon come to the rescue. But sisterly negligence or delayed orders prevented the res cuer from making his heroic debut until long past the time for the even ing meal. Finally, from the third story, there ascended a gentleman with an anti Volsteadian name who entered through the window, removed, the door from its hinges and released the girls. Since Mr. Porter’s first name is Baymond it is supposedly proper to say that B. Porter slid down. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM IS era A GENERAL SUP Reorganized Squad Will Face Cougars In Big Game Next Saturday It will be a reorganized varsity that takes the field against Washington State in Pullman Saturday and it will be an eleven that has a fighting ehanee to win against the powerful Cougar machine, in the opinion of “Shy” Huntington, Oregon’s head coach. Huntington is rather optimistic over the situation and said that the squad was at last mastering the details of inside football that he has been hammering at them all season. The first string lineup showed some marked changes in personnel in scrim mage last night. Rud Brown, who has played guard all season has been jerked back to a wing position and will fight it out with Howard, Clerin, and Morfitt for a berth on the outside of the line. Rud has teen playing a great game at guard but the need of his smashing attack was felt at the ends so he was changed. With Captain Howard's knee still giving him some trouble, Brown will probably alternate at left end. “Chuck” Parsons and “Tiny” Shields have been pulled up from the backfield to fill the hole left by Brown at right guard. Both are heavy, Parsons weighing in at 190 and Shields tiping the beam at 192. This change will add weight to the center of the line where it is needed, and should add power on both offensive and defensive plays. They were both given a work (Continued on page three) ‘Spooks * Play Pranks on Sorority Front Porches Spooks were a-walkin’ Halloween night. Goblins peeped around every corner, and witches moaned from the tops of the pine trees on the campus. And several people are ready to swear today that the goblins nearly got ’em that night. As in the days of yore the dead came to life again, and the spirit of humor walked aboard in various guises. The sister houses seemed to be the favored ones. Loud and excited cries of “Fire! Fire!” aroused the peacefully sleeping D. G’s, who cooly watched the red glare creep up around the sleeping porch, before relapsing into their for mer babe-like slumber. A red light thrown on the porch failed to produce the desired panic. A dashiag speedster, of the vintage of 1902, decorated with a neat sign, “Circus Grounds,” occupied the post of honor on the Gamma Phi front porch. Perhaps the girls are thinking of competing with the Thetas in the morning dash for the mail. Someone, probably a disappointed pigger, decorated the Alpha Phi house with mourning crepe, and placed a “Patterson St.” sign over the mail box. When the cold grey dawn arrived, the Kappa Kappa Gamma house stood forth to the world %rith the Co-op sign across the front steps and the “Way side Pulpit” of the Uniterian church on the front porch railing. Oh yesl Spooks were abroad, all right. By the way, some of the fra ternity brothers were sleepy in their 8 o'clocks. OREGON SPIRIT ON RAMPAGE TONIGHT AT VILLARD RALLY TRIO OF WASHINGTON STATE GRIDIRON STARS WHO WILL BATTLE SHY HUNTINGTON’S PROTEGES From Left to Right—Eldon Jenne, right half, who will do punting for W. S. 0. against Oregon; Butch Durrwachter, right guard, who was shifted to that position from full hack at the start of the season, and Verne Hickey, left end, one of the outstanding stars in the Bear-Cougar clash last Saturday.

The leading parts will be played by Irene Stewart, Norvell Thompson, Claire Keeney, and Yerne Fudge.

Helen’s brother, John, who is very conventional and who would do anything to uphold the honor of the family, will be played by Verne Fudge. Claire Keeney has the comedy part of the old judge who is seeking a di vorce from his wife and who thinks the younger generation is really wake ing up. The judge does not bother about the conventional himself, but he, marries the couple just as they are leaving for Paris, and they do not know they are being married. The other members of the cast are Rex, Delbert Faust; Theodore, Kenneth Arm strong; Lucy, John’s wife, Elizabeth Mellis; and Jean, sister to John, Dor-1 is Pittenger. TWO UP FOR Y. W.

A. in the bungalow, tomorrow. The nomination of a new president was made through the resignation of Ruth Flegal, several days ago. COMMITTEE TO MEET TODAY A meeting at which plans will be made for collecting money for the Homecoming luncheon is called for this afternoon at 5:15 in Boom 1 of the Oregon building. The following are asked to be present: C. C. Wilson, H. W. Wilson, A. F. Winter, Edwin Winter, L. A. Winthrow, P. C. Witmer, J. M. Wolfe, Marie Wood, E. L. Wood, F. C. Wood, Don M. Woods, D. L.

Suffers Few Hurts in Bear Game Washington State College, Ppllman, November 1.—(P. I. N. S.)—Special— Few injuries were suffered by the Cougars in their battlo with the Cali fornia Bears in Portland last Saturday and Coach Welch is expected to start practically the same line-up against the Oregon eleven. Practice this week has been spent in developing a stronger defense. To date this season defensive tactics have been the Cougar’s weak jpoint and Welch is taking no chances on Satur day’s game. If Skadan starts at quarter it is almost certain that aerial attack will be used to a great extent. Skadan is probably the best passer on the squad and while he is in the game a good percentage of the attempts for yardage will be overhead. Sax prefers straight football and stars at open field work. With Moe calling signals it is more than likely that line plays and end runs will pre dominate. Jenno and Zaopfel arc rapidly de veloping into as smooth a pair of backs as can be found on the Coast and Moran gives every evidenco of filling Gillis ’ shoos to perfection. Al ways a good offensive player, Moran is also going good on defense, a point where he was weak last year. Captain Dutch Dunlap at center is showing the* same form that Won him a place on the All-Coast team last year and McKay and Durrwaehtdr especially showed up well on smashing inter ference and getting through the line. Dunton looks like ail All-Coast tacklo this year and on the other side of the line Art Hamilton is giving a good account of himself in brother Fred’s old position. Hanley, Loomis, Hickey and Bo hannon are all playing ball and what, they may lack in weight is made up in fight. Bohannon looked nice against California when it came to stepping in and around the interference and nailing the man with- the ball. COMMERCE MIX THURSDAY EUGENE COMMERCE CHAMBER TO BE SCENE OF JOLLITY Big Eats, Jazz Orchestra and Stunts to be Features of Evening’s Social Program The first big get-together “bust” of; all commerce majors is to be held at the ; Eugene Chamber of Commerce rooms Thursday night at eight.

Prof. H. R. Douglass, educational director, ami Rollien Dickerson, prin cipal, ruled that all organizations must be under school supervision or have faculty advisers as secret societies in high school were regarded ns unwhole some. ■* Bulletins have been sent to patrons of the school in order that it may be made clear what responsibility the faculty will assume in such matters. A certain amount-of sensible social life and good times for high school stu dents is regarded as beneficial and a number of school parties and enter tainments will be encouraged during the year. It is recommended in the bulletin that all dances attended by students be chaperoned by instructors and a representative number of parents, and it is urged that mid-week social events be discouraged by parents. The school and faculty disclaim all responsibility for any parties other than those regularly scheduled and chaperoned by the school and those jointly chaperoned by parents and in structors. A girls ’ club which had already been organized is now under the direction of Mrs. Anna L. Beck and the boys ’ club has chosen Mr. Dickerson aB supervisor. — PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Mu Phi Epsilon announces the pledg ing of Mildred Brown of San Jose, C^l. TEAM TO fit GIVEN SEND-OFF TO W.S.C. CONTEST SATURDAY Students Asked to Gather in Front of Library at 6:45 O’clock 'CRUSH THE COUGARS,’ CRY Line of March to be Short; All Sorts of Noise Makers Wanted “Crush the Cougars.” The old disturber of silence is again to roam rampant over the Oregon cam pus shortly after 6:46 this evening when the vociferous hosts armed with noise reproducers gather in front of the library at the summons of the clan chieftain, Oberteuffer, and his active satellites, Larson, Rosenbraugh, and Woods. Things are going to bo terribly tumultous in Villard tonight, is the word passed. No down-town rally will feature this invocation of tho Oregon spirit pre paratory to tho crushing of the Cou gars. Villard is to bo the scene of tho rally this time. President Camp bell has snid that tho hall can be used as long as it is not torn down. “Obie” is not worrying where his Thundering Thousand will drape themselves just as long as the additional thousand can got into tho place. Team to Occupy Stage On the stage of Villard this evening will bo tho team and coaching staff. President Campbell nnd other mem bers of tho faculty will also bo pres ent on the platform. Both the men’s and women’s glee clubs will join in paying homage to tho Oregon spirit. All members of tho faculty are invited nnd urged to attend this gala fete of spirit appeasement. But the old spirit is out after noise tonight, says Obie. No prizes will be given for novol and origiual methods of extracting discordance from rever bratory instruments, but everyone is urged to bring some sort of noise pro ducer. Line of March Short This spontaneous cloudburst which is to swirl around the campus this even ing with much thunder, and perhaps some lightning is to bo short and sig nificant, according to the dope from the wigwam of the noise mukor. The line of march is to bo short. The gang —2000 of 'em and a few extra units for good measure—will gather in front of the library at 6:45, march down l.'ith to Alder, then to 11th, where the line of mgrch will head south and swiJop down on the Anchorage and the train ing table. Just a few steps from the Anchorage is Villard, where things are going to happen real peppy and noisy. “The object of this rally is to show the football men that we nre behind them when they meet up with the nor thern Cougars Saturday,” said “Obie.” The team leaves at 7:25 Thursday morning for Pullman. Will bo Spontaneous “This is to be a spontaneous, let-’er go affair,” continued the varsity yell king. “Say, just imagine how it is going to sound in Villard. President Campbell has expressed a desire to know how the student spirit morals was holding up after our defeat by California. Now is our chance to let everyone know how the game goes. O. A. C. got trimmed also, and Home coming is looming up on the horizon. All’s well, so let’s go. Crush the Cou gars.” The band is requested to be in front of the library by G:45. Above all, “Obie” admonishes the students not to forget to bring some kind of noise producer. Each house will be asked to come to the rally equipped with a devilish disturber of silence, and the individual members are supposed to ; bring anything which is portable and capable of creating an atmosphere of anti-silence. NEW “Y" SECRETARY EXPECTED L. P. Putman, former Christian ser vice secretary of the central depart ment of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., is expected to arrive on the campus within the next day of two to assume ! his duties as executive secretary of ths - University Y. M. C. A., according to ‘ Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, hut mother.
