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

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

‘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.

Cougar Claws Ready;
W. S. C. 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.

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
