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.”

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

1500 TO 1800 ALUMNI BACK
SEVENTH HOMECOMING DREW IN
SPITE OF DOWNPOUR
Visitors Find Old Oregon Spirit Full
of Vigor; 12,050 Attend
Football Game
A most singular and striking quiet
ness and calm was noticeable on the
campus yesterday. 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.

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.

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.

pleasingly vocal if not specially mo 1

Wins Cup for

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

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
