ADVERTISING CLUBS’ | HEAD TELLS HOW TO SUCCEED IK SELLING Chas. H. Mackintosh Relates Early Experience Getting Buyers” Interest J. J. HANDSAKER SPEAKS State Director of Near East Relief Makes Appeal to Student Assembly “Never try to sell the article which you are selling, but sell the use to which the article can be put,” said Charles Henry Mackintosh, of Chicago, President of the Associated Advertis ing Clubs of the World, in his address to the student body in Villard hall Thursday morning. “This is the keynote to successful selling” he added, “The salesman must ! put himself in the place of the person who may buy. The gist of the whole thing can be summed up in five words, ‘ Put yourself in his place ’.” How Not to Sell To illustrate the way of the suc cessful advertiser Mr. Mackintosh told of his early experience in the field of advertising. When he first went into the advertising game he accepted a position with a logging machinery com pany. His business was to write ads for the machinery. Mackintosh thought that he had better go out on the road and sell for awhile and then start his advertising work. He was detailed with a man who was a machanical engineer and builder of logging mach inery. The man proved to be a poor salesman and during the time he was with Mackintosh he failed to sell a single logging engine. The man failed to talk about the advantages in the use of the machine, but tried to tell the prospective buyer how the machine was put together, and his clients dozed on him. The Way It’s Done Mr. Mackintosh then went out with the star salesman of the company. This man engaged the prospective buyers in conversation but not on the merits of the machine he was selling. In time he worked around to the subject of logging and the cost of getting logs out of the woods, and the number of men employed. The salesman then cited the method employed by a neigh boring logging camp and after a visit j to the camp a deal was made. The sale was made without many words on i the part of the salesman. “It isn’t what we know, but what we do with what we know,” the speaker said, “that gets us by.” Near East Belief Appeal Made John J. Handsaker, State director of the Near East Relief, who recently re turned from the famine-stricken region, spoke to the students on the existing conditions there. In Constantinople he saw relief workers debating whether they should allow some 2500 children out of 5000 to perish in order to bring the rest up in a normal state or to di vide the available resources in a way ; to bring them all up in a sub-normal ! state. At the conclusion of his appeal to the students in behalf of the starv- , ing multitude, Mr. Handsaker intro- j duced Miss Margaret Reid, a relief worker, who stayed at her post in spite of dangers which caused the British army officers to order her away from there, and mothered 2000 children for two years, defying the army’s order. Miss Reid, who is a teacher in the Jef ferson school of Portland, received an ovation when introduced to the as sembly. Miss Beulah Clark, instructor in the school of music gave two excellent se lections on the flute. FRIENDSHIP COMMITTEE APPROVES Y. W. CAMPAIGN Money to be Used for European Stu dent Belief; Pot and Quill to Sell Candy at Basketball Games The student friendship committee, which handles all campus drives, met yesterday afternoon at four o’clock, in Guild hall, and voted to allow the T. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. to establish a booth on the campus where voluntary contributions could be made for the European Belief Fund. The I committee also approved the proposal of Pot and Quill to sell candy at the basketball games. The Y. W. C. A. campaign for funds was allowed. The function of this group is to guard the students against too many non university drives. Ford or Stutz? Dean Straub to Purchase Auto Whether it is due to the bad weather lately, or whether the rise in standards causes so much work that the faculty have to be in their offices before the cars start running in the morning or whether it is due to some other ob scure cause—but something has lead Dean Straub to seek the comfortable speedy and almost ever ready auto mobile. Maybe Dean Straub is worrying over the freshmen, and they absorb so much of his time that he needs a quicker means of transportation to keep in touch with their doings. So far it seems to be a deep dark secret what type of a machine it is to be so the general public is left to wonder whether it will be a Hudson Super Six, a Stanley Steamer or the lowly but serviceable Ford, but what ever it is to be Dean Straub promises that it will make its appearance in the very near future. PICTURES WORRY RECANA — INDIVIDUAL CUTS OF SENIORS AND JUNIORS WANTED Solios Must Have Background And Are Needed by All Except Members of Glee Clubs Pictures—individual, group, snaps and solios are now the chief worry of ! the Orogana staff. All students should make arrangements before Saturday for their pictures for the Oregana. In dividual pictures of every student in every house, of all members of each honorary organization, of staff mem bers of all publications, of all stu dent body officers, and all members of the senior and junior classes will go in this year’s Oregana. All solios for cuts should have black back grounds, so pictures that were taken for last year’s Oregana should not be used this year. One must have a solio for each time his or her pic ture goes in the annual. These can be procured from the photographer with out an extra expense. Group pictures will be taken of the men’s glee club, and the women’s glee club, and also of the orchestra. Stu dents in these organizations will not need a solio. Rumor has it that jun iors will have only snaps of themselves in the Oregana. The staff wishes to put this rumor to route, for juniors will have individual pictures and solios will be needed. COSSMAN FAINTS ON MAT Complete Exhaustion Caused by Over Exertion From 3 Hours Wrestling Henry D. Cossman, a freshman, in the physical education department lost consciousness, late yesterday afternoon, as a result of over-exertion and com plete exhaustion, caused by too much wrestling. He had been on the wrestl ing mat from two to five o’clock, and was engaged in active work the greater part of the time. When ordinary methods failed to bring the boy too, the infirmary at tendants were called and a respirator applied. When Cossman regained con sciousness, he was removed to the in firmary on a stretcher. The nurse in charge of the infirmary stated last evening that Cossman would be able to go home today. He is the son of John H. Cossman, 1411 Agate Street, Eugene. RETURN OF HUGO BI MEMORIES OF HAR Stories Are Told of Former Coach who Chicago; Northwest Conference Tii to Learn From Mistakes Said to By EP HOYT With the return of Hugo Bezdek to the campus Monday memories of the days of Oregon’s supremacy on the gridiron will return. Bezdek is ono of the great coaches in American foot ball and his record since his advent as mentor at Penn State in 1918 has prov en that his work with the varsity was not a flash in the pan. Probably hi3 most noteworthy performance while the director of Oregon's football destinies was the defeat he handed the Pennsyl vania eleven at Pasadena on New Year’s day, 1917. Though Pennsyl vania with one of the strongest teams in its history was conceded an easy victory over the Oregon team, Bezdek’s ; mm came through and turned the 1 Pennsylvanians btek ir. a game in | which Oregon clearly excelled, by a 14 C score. Bezdek came to Oregon in 1906 from Chicago where he had played under Stagg. In his first year at Oregon he won a nlorthwest championship and ; trimmed the University of Washington ! 16-6. At the close of that season B<-/.- > dek returned to Chicago where he put1 DIM WILL SELECT ALL STAR DOUGHNUT BASKETJLL TEAM 15 Doughnut League Players Chosen by Bohler For Varsity Training FIJIS SECURE IN LEAD Proposed Varsity Christmas Trip May be Called Off by Lack of Games A new feature of the doughnut bas ketball series this year will be the selection of an All-Star team by Eddie Durno, probably with the help of Coach Bohler. This is the first year that this scheme has been tried, but it will serve to rouse the interest of both the players and the fans. There will be two teams picked from the 85 or 90 men who are playing in the series, all of whom are eligible for the team. The Fijis have practically cinched the series now, after last nights win over the Dclts, and with only one or two games of any importance to play} have the best chance to have some of their men on the team. Most of the men will no doubt bo picked from some of the squads near the top of the per centage column, for they have prac tically all of the strong men in the league. Series May be Shortened The doughnut games are taking so much time, and on account of them, the Varsity has to do its practicing late in the evening, so for this reason the department is working on a scheme which will eliminate all but the first eight teams after next week, and then these eight teams will fight it out for their places in the league. This plan will eliminate most of the teams that have no standing on the percentage list, and will serve to make all of the games faster and more interesting. The games for next Week will include all of the teams in the league though, so some of the teams still have a chance to make their place among the first eight. Fijis May Get Cup If the Fijis succeed in beating the A. T. O. ’s and S. A. E.’s in the next few games, the cup will then be award ed to them as they have beaten all of the other teams that have any stand ing at all. The cup is at present in posession of the Kappa Sigs. To win this cup permanently a house has to win three years in succession. The varsity squad which was picked from the best men in doughnut series is practicing regularly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights at 8:30, getting in condition for the Christmas vacation tour which Coach Bohler is planning, and which is at present prac tically a sure thing according to state ments by the coaches. Whether or not the varsity basket ball team will make the Christmas va cation tour depends upon the number of games that can still be obtained. Due to the fact that no definite deci sion had been reached regarding the (Continued on page four' iZDEK will bring D-FOUGHT BATTLES First Came to Oregon In 1906 From tie Won in Same Year; Bez’s Ability Stand Forth Among Country’s Mentors in several years learning the fine points of football coaching under Stngg. It was during his second stay at Ore gon that Bezdek won national recog nition, by his system of coaching and t r me teams that he placed in the field. Today, with enviable records at two great schools behind him he is rated as one of the four great coaches of the country. Although Bez is a clever leader of men, a strong leader who impresses i his personality on those under him, a psychologist who understands all the | foibles and whimsies of football stars,1 as a successful producer understands the idiosyncrasies of his prima donnas, he is no parlor exhorter. In fact Bez used to be a little rough with the boys back in 1906 when he was fresh from j his own football days under Btagg the ! story goes that in the game with Wash ington during that year, at the end of the first half with the score six all the great Bezdek used such strenuous language that the boys resented it and (Continued on page four) ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO BUILD UP LOAN FUND More Money Wanted to Supplement Mary Splller Scholarship Award of $272.62 The Alumnae Association, composed of the women graduates of the Univer sity of 6regon, is planning to increase its membership so that it will be pos sible to keep up a loan fund in ad dition to the Mary Spiller scholarship, according to Janette Calkins, member of the Mary Spiller scholarship com mittee. The dues of the association are one dollar, which should be sent to the secretary-treasurer of the Alum- i nae Association, Mrs. Lawrence T. Harris, 1460 Chemeketa Street, Salem, Oregon. The money is used entirely for scholarships and loans. The Mary Spiller scholarship per petuates the memory of Mrs. Mary Spiller, first woman member of the faculty. Any girl graduate from any accredited high school of Oregon (out side of Lane county) is eligiblo to ap ply. The scholarship pays for room and board for a year in one of the halls of residence. The first award, granted in 1912, was $135. At the present time it is $272.62. One girl may receive the scholarship for more than one year, the money after the first year, being a loan. Applications should be made to Mrs. ITnrris, before May 1. ACTIVITIES WOMAN’S LEAGUES FAVOR HIGH ER STANDARDS FOR COLLEGES Miss Margaret Reid and Ella Rawlings Address Mass Meeting in Villard Hall The high spots of the discussion taken part in by delegates from the Women’s Leagues of western schools at the Berke ley convention were touched on by Ella Rawlings at the regular monthly mass meeting of the League held in Villard yesterday afternoon. Oregon is not the only institution in the west that is “tightening up” on studies, Miss Rawlings reports. Higher standards of scholarship are being em phasized everywhere. In some schools a certain average grade must bo obtained to allow the student to take part in any campus activities. Too many activities, interfering with studying, are not re garded favorably in any of the schools that were represented at the conference, but more stringent means of preventing one or two willing individuals from be ing over worked are employed in some schools than in others. The general opinion at the convention was in favor of student government, with cooperation between student and faculty. Under the matter of student government cheating and ways and means of preventing and punishing it wore dis cussed. The University of Washington is literally “stamping” it out. When a student in a classroom discovers another student cheating he begins immediately to tap on the floor with his foot. The others in the room take up the tapping and the culprit usually ceases. Clean campus politics were especially emphasized by all of the delegates. Honor societies at some universities have developed into mere political machines and delegates from those schools were particularly opposed to honor societies. It was decided that the individuality of the candidate should be alone considered and that his fraternity affiliation should .not play any part in winning or loosing him votes. The convention at Berkeley proved, said Miss Rawlings, that university wo men everywhere aro “getting together, thinking together, and trying to work together.' ’ Miss Margaret Reid, recently returned from relief work in the Near East gave a short talk and some personal sketches of her work among the children of Ar menia. BENEFIEL WILL MARRY Wedding of Graduate Manager and Miss Huddlestone Will be Saturday Jack W. Benefiel, ’21, graduate manager of the University of Oregon, and Miss Lydia Huddlestone of Port land, will be married on Saturday morning at 11 o’clock in Portland. News of the coming marriage has been kept secret until now. The bride-elect is a graduate of Washington high school. She attended Monmouth Normal for two years and has been teaching in The Dalles. The couple were school-mates at Washington high. They will leave with the football team on December 15, and will spend their honeymoon in Hawaii. 8IEFERT TO SING IN PORTLAND John B. Riefert, instructor in voice j at the University school of music will sing at the meeting of the McDowell t Club in Portland next Tuesday. Leland A. Coon, instructor in piano, will go as accompanist for Mr. Riefert. Campus Officials to Aid in Receiving Visitor; Student Rally Planned BANQUET TO BE FEATURE Oregon Knights Will Have Almost Entire Charge of Campus Entertaining The entire University ami the whole city is making preparations to welcome home the University’s one timo foot ball coach, Hugo Bezdek. Plans for the reception and entertainment of the man who has sont so many Oregon football teams to victory are now in a formative stage. Lyle Bartholomew is enlisting the aid of all campus officials and of those who knew the famous coach when he was here, to make ar rangements to receive him when he steps from the train on Mondny. Wlmt is retarding the business of arranging a definite program is that the time of the day ho will arrive is as yet unknown. If Bezdek arrives in the morning in sufficient time for such an affair, an all-University all-Eugene rally will be held in his honor at Vil lard hall where it will be demonstrated to the guest that the Oregon spirit still lives. Trophies May be Shown There he will be urged to recount some of the experiences which he had while at this University and perhaps to tell of his work at the Pennsylvania State College where he is now situated. Arrangements are being made for the Oregon Knights to bring forward the many trophies which wore won by Ore gon teams under the tutelage of Ore gon ’s one time moulder of fighting machines. It has been suggested that Bezdek might be prevailed upon to tell the students how these trophies were won. Should the arrival of Bezdek be de layed until noon, he will be met at the station by a reception committee of students and citizens of Eugene. The Oregon KnightH will form a body guard to conduct him to the Univer sity where it is hoped thnt he can ap pear before the student body. In any event it is planned to have a rally in celebration of the return of Bezdek to Oregon. Banquet is Planned The Chamber of Commerce, it is reported, intends to hold a banquet in honor of the coach as a feature of the evening. No other plans have been given out either by the President or the secretary of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce both of whom say that action is being doferrod on the matter of appointing committees until the stu dent officials can be consulted. Bar tholomew, president of the student body, is waiting until the roturn of President Campbell from Portlnnd and also for more definite word from Bez dek as to when he will arrive. What is certain so far about the program is thnt the Oregon Knights under the leadership of Stunt Duke, .Tames Meek who was elected to that high office last night, of Marcus Young, Ttoyal Scribe, and .Tames Neale, Chancellor of the exchequer, will have nlmost entire charge of the entertain ment of Bezdek on this campus. An nouncement of definite plans for his reception will appear in Saturday’s Emerald. BYRNE MAKES SCRIBNER’S Survey of Life of Prominent Art Critic Accepted by Magazine Norman Byrne, graduate major in philosophy, has written a critical sur vey of the life of James Gibbon Hune ker, prominent critic of all arts, which haM been accepted by Scribner’s maga zine.
