* Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1921. NUMBER 39 STUDENTS URGED NOT TO CUT GUESS BEFORE HOLIDAYS Council and Faculty Request Good Attendance on Day Preceding Thanksgiving CUT SYSTEM NOW ON TRIAL Break in Routine Should Not be Lengthened; Violation of Rules Few This Year Students of the University are ex pected to cooperate with the adminis tration in observing the Thanksgiving hjolidays, according to a statement given out from the president’s office yesterday. Lyle Bartholomew, president of the student body also urges that cutting classes before and after the vacation be eliminated. It has been contended by many members of the faculty that the students here-to-fore have cut classes on Wednesday so that it would be possible to reach home earlier and that they have been in the habit of not returning until Monday morning. This year both the faculty and student coun cil request that the students cut no classes and in order to further this movement special trains leaving Wed nesday afternoon will not leave until late. “The students know the fair thing to do, and the faculty is confident that they will continue their classes on Wed snesdty afternoon and will not be missing Monday” stated Karl W. Ont hank, executive secretary. The following is the request to the associated students from the Student Council: “We, the members of the Student Council, respectively request that the associated students do not cut classes on the Wednesday preceding the Thanksgiving vacation period, or on the Monday after this vacation. Our reasons for making this request are that the objection raised by the fac ulty to the vacation period was that too many students cut classes on these days, which lengthens the break to a much larger one than anticipated. “It is also requested that the mat ter of cutting classes be treated more seriously by the students. The abol ishment of the “cut system” is still on trial and its results are being tabu lated by the administration. It is be lieved by the Council that the viola tions have been very few this year, and this suggestion is merely raised in or der that the students will keep the matter in mind.” (Signed) STUDENT COUNCIL. ARNOLD KOEPKE MARRIES Last Year’s Cadet Major Weds Ruth Dorris, ’15, In Eugene Church Miss Kuth Dorris, ’15, and Arnold Koepke, ’21, -were married in the Episcopal church here yesterday after noon at 1:15 by the Eev. Frederick G. Jennings. Mrs. Koepke is a mem ber of Chi Omega sorority, and was a major in the school of journalism. She has been employed in the health depart ment of the University. Mr. Koepke is a member of Kappa Sigma frater nity, and was a major in the cadet corps last year. During his junior year was assistant baseball manager. Miss Grace Robertson of the Univer sity health service was bridesmaid, and Ben Dorris, brother of the bride, was best man. Star of 97-0 Football Game Visits Campus \ Kalph (Buck) Starr, (ex-’01,) who played football in the early days of the game in the University, working at fullback in the season of 1900 when the team scored its biggest victory over Washington, was among those who came back for Homecoming. One of his principle objects in leaving his home at Gold Beach, where he con ducts the hotel, was to see the big game between O. A. C. and Oregon. He missed one train and the next one was an hour late, and he arrived just too late to see anything of the mud melee. Buck did manage to see a few of his old cronies at the Homecoming dance, however, including Clarence Bishop, all-around athlete of his day. He and Bishop were backfield men in a game in which Oregon piled up perhaps the heaviest score it has ever made. The old Portland University (or Academy) was on the receiving end of the lick ing, and the score was 97 to 0, to the best of Buck’s recollection. The game j was cut short, or the score would have exceeded the century mark—and that in days when a touchdown counted only five points. “How many touchdowns can you ! make, Buck?” Starr quotes Bishop as asking, and he recalls that they made them almost as fast as they could run. \ The general plan was to let Bishop, who was a star sprinter, take the kick off each time and try to run through the whole opposition for a touchdown. He never got clear away, but often fot over on the first down afterward. Doughnut Debate Teams Start < Word Battle Series Tonight \ The men’s doughnut debating league will open its season tonight with eight organizations entered. The question to be debated is, “Resolved, that the United States should adopt a system of national direct primary for the selection of candidates for the presi dency.” The debates scheduled for to night will be held in the new eommeree building and in Oregon hall and will start at 7 o ’clock sharp. Although the names of the debaters have not all been announced it is understood that some of the best dough nut orators on the campus have entered the lists and are prepared to defend the honor of their organizations to the last verbal ditch. Although organized rooting will not be permitted, as in basketball, houses are preparing to send large delegations to the scenes of aetion to support their groups. Results will be made known at room I five of the eonuneree building, this 1 evening, at 8:15. i Debates taking plaee in the eom- , meree building follow: j Room Affirmative Negative 5 Phi Sigma Pi_Oregon No. 2 . 7 Baehelordon .Phi Sigma Pi f 8 Friendly Hall _Sigma Nu 1 105 Sigma Alpha Epsilon..Sigma Chi j 107 Chi Psi _Baehelordon j 207 Sigma Chi .Oregon No. 1 208 Oregon No. 2 -Delta Theta Phi The following debates will be held t in the Oregon building: , Room Affirmative Negative r 108 Oregon No. 1 _—.Chi Psi ( 107 Delta Theta Phi _S.

Every one was sleepy aqd tired, but yet happy and Contented for the HomAeoming cele bration had gone gloriously into his tory. All were unanimous in telling the world that it was the greatest ever. Sunday afternoon and evening saw the exit of the great crowd of old grads and ex-students. They left singing praises of their old alma mater, and all were more certain than ever that “Ore gon Spirit" was still alive, and grow ing. The number of alumni and ex-stu dents who returned is unknown, for no exaet cheek was kept. Jack Benp fiel, graduate manager, was willing to estimate that there were 1800 on the eampus. Dean Dyment, though, was more conservative and gave his figure as 1500. The rainiest day of the year kept a good many of the towns people from attending the game. In stead of the estimated 17,000, only 12,500 passed through the gates. To those students who think that Eomecoming at Oregon is a tradition :hat is as old as the institution itself, 1 t might be news to know that the one , just passed was the seventh in the history of Oregon. The first Home- , •oming celebration was held on October . 10, 1914. Each year thereafter, with , the exception of 1918, Homecoming ^ has been the big event of the year on ( :he school calendar. It has always I ^ seen during the week-end in which j ;he records ghow that Oregon has never j Deen beaten in a Homecoming game, ^ ilthough two of the games ended in , l 0-0 score. POT AND QUILL ELECTS < Pot and Quill, women ’a honorary or- i janization, announces the election of i Marion Crarv and Catherine 'Watson. ! URGE Ml OF STUDENTS WORK w 111 inn Percentage of Self-Supporting Men 38.7, of Women, 12.4; Total Number 531 DECREASE SINCE 1920 Drop in Ratio of Those Earning Expenses Accompanies Higher Enrollment A large proportion of the students in the University working their way through college, figures given out by the registrar’s office show; but the number of self-supporting students this year is smaller proportionately than last year, the figures indicate. Of the 2006 students registered in the University this term 26.4 per cent are self-supporting, and 31.5 are par tially so. Last year when the enroll ment was 1679, in the freshmen class there were 77 women wholly or par tially self-supporting, while this term when the enrollment is 2006 there arc 68 women self-supporting in this same class. The same result is indicated by the figures for the men and women in the other classes. The percentage of men who are wholly earning their way through school greatly exceeds the percentage of women. Among the men 38.7 per cent are earning all their expenses while 12.4 per ent of the women are doing the same. Jobs Harder to Get The employment bureaus of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are finding it more difficult to find posi tions for the students this year than last. Many desire work but are unable to find it. Several cases have been reported where students have found it necessary to withdraw from the Uni versity because no work could be Pound. Of the 531 students who .are self inpporting 127 are freshmen, 110 sopho nores, 111 juniors, and 88 seniors, 44 ipeeials, ad 42 graduate Btudents. The lumber of workers among the gradu ite students is extremely high since ;here are only 64 graduate students in ;he University. There are 632 students partly self mpporting, and of this umber 429 are nen and 203 women. The percentage ’or the women is 20.5 and for the men 10.2. Higher Standard a Factor Since last year the enrollment has ncreased one-fourth, while the per centage of self-supporters for last fear eras 34.5 as compared with 26.4 for this rear. Aside from bad employment dtuation on the campus, Erie W. Allen, lean of the school of jouralism, assigns mother reason for the decrease in the lumber of students earning their own vav through college. “The higher scholastic standards of he University prevent may students 'rom taking as many hours as formerly, rhose who are working their way hrough find it difficult to carry the irdinary number of hours and yet main ain a creditable average,” said Dean Mien. Dean Allen finds many stu lents who used to carry 16 and 17 lours a term are now dropping down o 13 and 14. Varied Occupations Followed The decrease in the number of stu lents who are self-supporting is not o noticeable in the school of journal sm, according to a survey in that chool made recently by Dean Allen. Fhe commonest answer to the ques ion as to how much the student con ributed to his support was that he ras 100 per cent. When asked what neans was used to earn money the ournalists replies ranged from waiting ables in a restaurant to editing a news aper. Some of the answers showed hat eollege students are far from be ng snobbish or esoterieal. A few of he occupations were, painter and mu lieian, tutoring, logging, cooking, larvest hand, city fireman, selling attle, grocery salesman, correspondent, asuranee agent, librarian, mill laborer, rug store clerk, post office clerk, road rork, teaching, general housework, luch students can hardly be classed as ntellectual “highbrows.” University Jobs Increase Many University students find it ecessary to stay out of college a term r perhaps a year and earn money to eenter, and consequently, according o Dean Allen, the students are older. )ne redeeming feature of the employ ment situation is that as the Univer ity grows the number of University obs open to students will increase, aid Dean Allen. ENDOWMENT POLICY FOR UNIVERSITY IS PUSHEDJY ALUMNI | Student Association President Voices Ready Assent to Proposal NEED OF BUILDINGS SHOWN Undergraduates Commended by Visitors for Success of Homecoming “The alumni are behind the Univer sity in its campaign for endowments, and you may expect to see some re sults before many years,” said David Graham, ’05, president of the alumni association. This was the response which Presi dent P. L. Campbell received from the “old grads” present at the alumni meeting, the first of its kind, which ! was held in the Woman’s building, Saturday morning. “We are at the beginning of a great! movement which calls for the coopera tion of the alumni,” said President Campbell. “Our buildings are no longer ! enough to accomodate us, and the growth of the student body threatens : to swamp the University. An increase j of 20 per cent over last year has made [ it necessary for new plans to be made regarding the building conditions.” [ Organized Power Needed In his plea to the alumni for an or ganized power to assist in canvassing the state for endowments, President Campbell told of the crisis which the institution would have to faro with the increase in enrollment, should the alum ni fail to get behind a movement to bring gifts to the University. Presi dent Campbell pointed out the need of a new science building which will in volve at least $300,000 if it is to come up to the standard of the other campus buildings; the critical fact that the auditorium in Villard hall aceommo- i dates no more than half the student i body at present; and the pressing need of a new library. There are 100,000 ] volumes in the University library that would be impossible to replace, and in its present state there is no adequate | protection against fire loss, according • to President Campbell. “The way that the alumni put them- i selves behind the millage bill, has made it possible for the University to , rise to its present status,” stated President Campbell, “and the same co- , operation at the present time will do mueh to help the University equip it- ; self to meet the present demand made , by the ever-increasing enrollment.” Carlton Spencer Talks Carlton Spencer, '13, registrar of the , University, boosted the campaign from ; the alumni stant^point, “Thej force for this territory is the state, the future is before us,” "he said after pointing 1 out the practicability of the campaign. Bobert Kuykendall, ’13, spoke in a lighter vein for the alumni, and Colin , V. Pyment, dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts, out lined the recent problem of raising Uni versity standards. Bill Hayward, foot ball trainer, told briefly the condition ^ of the team, stressing their fighting ^ qualities. i At an alumni council meeting, held ( just before the main alumni meeting, ^ a resolution was passed commending ( the undergraduates for their work in ^ making Homecoming an unrivalled sue- ^ cess. A letter of appreciation was ( voted sent to the railroad officials who made the reduced Homecoming rate , ^ possible. POWERS PASSES CIGARS • Alfred, Jr., With Three Days Practice , Adda to Homecoming Noiae I t Smoking members of tho sebool of i journalism staff puffed an extra one i yesterday. Other friends of Alfred 1 Powers also had a chance at the cigars. ] Alfred Powers, Jr., who weighed 7Vj pounds on his first Homecoming day, was three days old and was already 1 pleasingly vocal if not specially mo 1 bile, and everything was lovely. And ,1 yesterday afternoon Dean Allen was ( saying to the proud father, “The first one is the one you do all your ex-1 perimenting with.” - 3 j 1 EMERALD 8TAFP PROMOTIONS f Lot Beanie has been promoted to the i , position of advertising manager of the ] Oregon Daily Emerald, by Webster ] Ruble, business manager. Randolph < Kuhn has been appointed as one of the , advertising assistants on the staff. £ Friars Elect: Marc Latham Floyd Maxwell Lotta Noise Wins Cup for Bachelordon A boiler, two steam whistles, and four circular saws attached to a pipe were the noise making devices which won for Bachelordon the silver loving cup, offered to the organization which had the contraption making the greatest amount of noise in the Friday night rally parade. Amid the siren calls, the steam whis tles, pounding sledge hammers on steel and iron, ekploding fire works, and rattling tin cans and every noise mak ing device since the time of Adam, the penetrating steam whistles of the Bachelordons, with a background of ?ar splitting sledge-hammer thumps, penetrated the farthest into the ears af the judges, causing them the most uiditory pain, and the result: one silver loving cup for the Bachelordons. The cup was presented by President P. L. Campbell at the Homecoming lance held in the Woman’s building 3aturday night, and was received by Lyle Bartholomew. This is the first rear a cup has been offered for the noise-winning prize. EMERALD PRINTS EXTRA SPECIAL EDITION APPEARS 16 MINUTES AFTER GAME Play by Play Account of contest With O. A. C. and Column of Sidelights by Oregonian Writer Carried Sixteen minutes after the final gun rounded Saturday afternoon freshmen newsboys wero on the streets selling special pink editions of the Emerald, rhe extras were the same sizo as the regular papers and carried both a play by play account of the contest and a general story. In addition to this was i column of sidelights written by Don 3kene, of the Oregonian staff. It was first time in the history of the Emerald and tho University that a ipecial sport extra had been printed mmediately after the game. This was >f course in addition to the regular >aper printed Saturday morning. Several former members of tho Emerald staff assisted in covering tho [ame Saturday. Alexander G. Brown, 'ormer sports editor, and Leith Abbott, 'ormer editor-in-chief handled the play >y play reports. The srowds who at :ended the game were able to buy i paper on their way home, giving a 'nil account of what they had just een.

The paper contains notes in the returning graduates in addition o reports of the game.

RIMED FIELD PROVES 1MDCR Varsity and Aggies Unable to Score in Battle in Sea of Mud GAME THIRD TIE OF YEAR Leslie Furnishes Thrill With Placement Kick Which Hit Goal Post By BP HOYT It was Old Jupe Pluve’s day and through the falling rain that made old Hnvward field a weltering swamp the varsity and their ancient rivals, tho Aggies, fought through sixty saturated minutes to a scoreless tie. Statistics of Saturday's battle give Oregon a long edge, but the mud and the rain greater than statistics outfought even “Ore gon Fight” and awarded each a mud splashed gooso egg. Twice in two years have those toams fought it out with the same result, for last year on a heavy field ankle deep with clinging mud, at Corvallis, the final score went down in history, Ore gon 0, O. A. C. 0. Saturday’s game was tho third draw participated in by the Varsity this season, the first with Idaho was a clear case of Oregon fight ing on indomitably, outplayed but un beaten, fighting on to a 7-7 tie. Cougars are Outplayed Then came tho Berkeley game, with Oregon's green squad crushed to de feat—a two weeks’ rest and the tie with the Cougars, and though the final score of that hard fought battle read 7 all, oven Washington State fol lowers conceded that Oregon outplayed their team. It wasn’t a fluke, Oregon’s outplay ing of the brilliant Cougars, that was firmly established Saturday, for Ore gan made 5 first downs from scrim mage against .18 for the collegians and “Spike" Leslie outkirked the Gill Miller combination a foot to a punt. Incidentally Spike had lots of trouble keeping his husky boot inside the lines during the first pnrt of the game, but in that last quarter the big taekle set tled down and with the slight wind at his back started twisting them down the field, high in the air, 50 and 55 yards at a clatter. Whole Team Stars Who starred! They ail starred all eleven of those mud be spattered he roes. Did you see Bud Brown and Mart Howard racing down the field under Spike’s punts, or picking a play to pieces behind the Aggies first de fense! Did you see that Oregon inner defense, Shields, Callison and Shields, some firm that, tearing the farmer line to bits, Von der Ahe climbing over their backs, or Spiko playing the game of his life. Did you see those backs, Latham, King Johnson and Chapman rarrying the ball or immovable on the secondary defense! Tf ever a team worked together, fought together with out grandstand plays and sacrificed everything to the one purpose, to win, it was that same mud bespattorod eleven that out played the Aggios Saturday. Game Full of Thrills Tn spito of the condition of tho field, tho slipperiness of the ball lor the falling rain the game was brilliantly played and was full of breathtaking moments. Four times Andy Crowell, the Aggies star tackle attempted kicks from placement, behind Oregon’s 40 yard line, and four times the boots went wild. Twice Spike Leslie, the dar tackle, attempted placements, ^pike missed them both, one of them (Cna tinned on png* two! FACTORY FILM ON TOMGHT Conditions Affecting Women In Indus* try to be Depicted st T. Hat “When Women Work,” the two reel Him which will be shown in the Y. FTnt Thursday evening from 7:15 to 1:00 o’clock, has been released by the United 8tates Bureau of Labor and shows actual working conditions in factories. An interesting story and ro mance has been woven through the scenes which were taken in model fac tories and in those failing to care prop erly for their employees. “Anyone interested in industrial con iitions will find this interesting,” said Miss Dorothy Collier, Y. W. C. A. secretary. The government produced this film with the idea of awakening people to the need of reform in present indus trial conditions.
