VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1922 NUMBER 1
PRESENCE OF FEN
LETTERMEN LIFTS
HOPES OF VARSITY
Coaches Say Best Material
In Many Years Out in
Uniform Now
ONE VICTORY CHALKED UP
Pacific University Team Is
Swamped in Season's
First Game
With what the eoaches say is “the
best material since 1916,” a fine sched
ule, and one game already won from
Pacific University, 27 to 0, the predic
tions of football fans are that Oregon
has a fine chance to put a championship
team into the race.
Something new for the coaches is the
fact that ten lettermen are back, fire
each from the line and backfield. These
men will probably form the bulk of the
team, but the stars from last year’s
Frosh eleven and several new men Will
also put in a strong bid for regular
positions.
The lettermen who are back are Hunk
Hal Chapman, George King,
Ward Johnson and Dutch Gram from
the backfield, while Carl Vender Ahe,
•piny and Floyd Shields, Bud Brown
and Prince Callison the linemen with
letters.
Some of the new men whom Coach
Huntington believes will put up a
strong bid for the positions on the
team are Bill Spear, George Bliss, and
Tergeson of last year’s Frosh, while
Cog Campbell an experienced football
man who played on both the Frosh and
Book teams is expeeted to be out some
time this week.
Callison Still Laid up.
Prince Callison is out of the game
at present on account of injuries he
received while working in a logging
camp this summer. Trainer Bill Hay
ward reports that Callison is rapidly
recovering though and may be out for
practice by next week. Dick Beed is
also in college and will be played at
center quite a bit this season the coach
es say, because of the fact that they
will need an experienced center for the
game next season as this is Callison s
last year.
Archie “Tiny” Shields who was re
ported as being badly handicapped be
cause of an attack of pneumonia last
spring is back again as ever and will
try for his third letter, though he will
not work until later as the coaches are
taking no chances on his back, which he
injured thia summer.
While the game with Pacific Satur
day showed clearly many weaknesses
in Oregon’s eleven they are weaknesses
that may be remedied. With Dick Beed
back and with Prink Callison and Tiny
Shields soon to turn out, with Cogs
Campbell soon to be out in a suit it will
be a far stronger and more experienced
line that faces the Pacific Coast confer
ence teams than that which swung into
action against Pacific.
It is unlikely that Willamette Satur
day will prove a stronger foe than Pa
cific, but next week the Oregon squad
will face a real test when they line up
against the eleven from Multnomah
club. Coach Ted Faulk has some real
stars this war and the Lemon-Yellow
will be hard pressed to take the heavy
end of the score. However the game
Saturday with Willamette will afford
the football squad some excellent lab
oratory work in the actual practice of
footbsdl.
Spear Going Good.
Bill Spear and Bud Brown have been
holding down the end positions so far
on the team and played there in the
Pacific game, in which Spear, playing
his first varsity game, grabbed a pass
and made the first touchdown. George
Bliss at tackle, Bvler at center, McCraw
at tackle and Tergenson at half also
played their first varsity game Satur
—. day
The second game for the varsity is
scheduled here for Saturday when they
meet Willamette. The Salem college
is rather doubtful as they have played
no games yet, but they always have s
strong team and a rather close game is
expected. The Methodists held the Ore
gon men to a 7-3 score last year in an
early season game, but have scant
chance to repeat the performance, for
the varsity is far stronger this year
than last.
President Campbell Greets
Students; Asks Good Work
Message to the Students
The year just opening gives every promise of being a good
one. The numbers are larger than ever, the preparation has
been good, the spirit is fine, and the general University organ
ization grows better year by year. Life on the campus ought
to approximate the ideal. Abundance of interests, abundance
of exercise, abundance of good-fellowship, and unselfish liv
ing—these are a few of the outstanding factors. The Univer
sity best prepares for life by making the livifig good as it goes
along.
Speaking for the faculty, I will say that we will all hon
estly try to do our part, and we are sure that you will try to
do yours. Amongst us, we ought to be able to make the year
abundantly worth while.
P. L. CAMPBELL.
Work for “Greatest Oregon”
Says President of A.S.U.O.
With the resumption of class after
the interruption of the summer vaca
tion, John MacGregor, student presi
dent for the year 1022-23, sends the fol
lowing message to the students:
To you all as Oregon students, first,
last, and always, I extend the hearty
democratic handgrip of our campus, and
greet you with the Oregon ‘‘Hello.”
To each of you individually, I, as ths
representative of you all, give the sin
cerest of welcomes and wish for a suc
cessful year, in this, our State Univer
sity.
Seniors I You are faeing your last
year here. You have borne the brunt
of three years undergraduate work,
eaeh of you in his own field of endeavor
adding his meed to the good reputation
of Orogen, and bringing glory, hard
won on the athletic Arid, in the class
room, the debating platform, in the
publications, the laid of musie, and the
other student activities. To you, now
rightfully belongs something of honor,
and pleasure in your last year, and to
you falls also the duty to typify by
word and precept, Oregon Spirit. Be
member that next year you will call
this University your Alma Matv> and
make the last year the best.
Juniors! You are the working execu
tives of the University. You have
passed your year of training as fresh
men, and the maturing period of your
sophomore year. This is your year of
accomplishment, which more than any
other, probably should make or mar
your reputation as an Oregon student.
Make the most of it, and remember that
with your success, Oregon succeeds, just
to that extent, also.
Sophomores t For a year you have
been learning the ways of University
life. If you have learned your lesson
well; nine months of possible achieve
ment lie before you—and the duty as
guides to the new freshmen. Develop
your friendships, and lines of student
activity of last year, and adopt new
onee as you see fit. like coming year
ehould settle the course of your Uni
versity life and prove a maturing per
iod, preparatory to your two years as
upper-classmen at the University.
Freshmen! Hello! That is the Ore
gon watchword. Learn it and use it.
It typifies the Oregon Spirit of camar
aderie, and cheerfulness. There is little
I can say to you that you will not hear
many times in the next few days, and
throughout the course of your first year
here. To you in the proper time will
be given the torch of Oregon student
life to “carry on." All that I can
say to you now is to bid you to learn
the lessons of your first year well, that
you may be prepared when that time
comes, and to bid you welcome, to the
University.
To all, in closing, I say, let us enter
the new year with a firm resolution to
conscientiously strive not merely for
a Greater Oregon, but for the Greatest
Oregon. j
FIRST ASSEMBLY THUDS.
IN WOMAN’S BUILDING
x
Pres. Campbell Will Speak
On Endowment Fund
The first general assembly of the
term is scheduled for 11 a. m., Thursday
in the gymnasium in Woman’s build
ing. Due to the limited seating ca
pacity of Villard hall, which has been
for years the scene of the weekly as
semblies, and to the increased student
body, this arrangement has been made.
It is hoped by this plan, to accommodate
a much larger crowd than it would be
possible to handle otherwise.
President Campbell will inaugurate a
new note in his address on the Univer
sity gift campaign program which is
being launched throughout the state,
with the slogan of “Ten million dol
lars in ten years, for Oregon.” He will
deal principally with the contribution to
be made by the student body in the cam
paign, and the various ways in which
they can assist in raising the desired
sum. Lamar Tooze, ’16, field director of
the campaign, will outline in some detail
the drive program.
John MacGregor, president of the As
sociated Students of the present year,
will be on hand to welcome both the old
and new students on the campus.
Rev. J. M. Walters, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Eugene,
will deliver the invocation.
Members of both the men’s and wo
men’s glee clubs who have returned to
school will lead the singing of Oregon
songs and the men’s club will feature
with special music numbers. It is ex
pected that members of the yell staff
will be on hand to lead in a rousing Or
egon “Oskie” and give the entering
freshmen a real taste of the Oregon
spirit. .
The women’s gymnasium has a seat
ing capacity of 1800 and standing room
for several hundred in addition to thia,
so that it is expected that 2000 students
at least will attend the first assembly
of the year and start the term with an
abundance of Oregon spirit and enthu
siasm.
CALIFORNIA HAS RADIO.
University of California, Oct. 3.—(P.
j —Radio club classes in code
practice and elementary theory are now
in progress in the Mechanics building.
The radio station was recently com
pleted and intercollegiate traffic has
started.
UNIVERSITY HEALTH
HAS NEW QUARTERS
Department Now Located In
North End of Friendly
.
New and artistic tints and hangings,
and improvements in the way of space
and general facilities make the new
quarters of the University health ser
vice, at the north end of Friendly hall,
more attractive and convenient than
the quarters occupied by the depart
ment before the fire last summer.
New members of the health service
staff are Miss Margaret McGregor
laboratory nurse, and Miss Ruth Har
vey, nurse in charge of the office and
waiting room. Both are hospital-train
ed. Physicians at the offices of the
health service are Dr. W. K. Living
ston and Dr. W. E. Savage. Dr. Bertha
Stuart, physieian to the women of the
University, has her offices in the Wo
man’s building. Another new member
of the health staff is her assistant nurse,
Miss Jane Gavin.
The personnel of the nursing staff
at the infirmary has also been changed.
Miss Orpha Clouse and Mrs. W. B. Mar
tinson are the nurses, Miss Clouse being
in charge.
Dean Bovard of the physical educa
tion department has his office at pre
sent in the part of Friendly hall occu
pied by the health service, but expects
to move as soon as the wooden struc
ture near the administration building is
finished.
The walls of waiting room and offices
of the health service have been tinted
a pleasant soft grey, and the waiting
room is made cheery and attractive
with bright new cretonne on the cush
ions and at the windows. New hang
ings and wall paper have also made
changes at the infirmary.
GOLF INSTRUCTOR HERE.
Golf enthusiasts will be interested in
knowing that professional instruction
in the ancient Scotch pastime will be
at their service this year. Mr. M. C.
Shaver, formerly golf professional of
the Newberg Country Club is registered
on the campus. Mr. Shaver will instruct
faculty and students between 4 and 6
on the golf course just south of the R.
0. T. C. barracks. Professor Seott, of
the physical education department, an
nounces that physical ability men may
select golf as an elective.
PHI Hit KAPPA
GRANTED OREGON
WITHOUT DISSEHT
Council Votes Unanimously
to Admit University to
Honorary Society
SCHOLARSHIP RECOGNIZED
Small Group of Graduating
Class Eligible; High
Standards Held
The University of Oregon was grant
ed a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, na
tional honorary scholastic society, by
the Council of Phi Beta Kappa meeting
in triennial convention in Cleveland,
September 12 and 13. He Oregon peti
tion for membership presented by the
University Honor society and members
of Phi Beta Kappa on the University
faculty, was granted without a dis
senting vote.
The installation of a chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa on the Oregon campus will
mean a distinct recognition of the schol
astic standards of the University. At
present there are chapters in only one
hundred universities. A small percent
age of the graduating class whose
scholastic attainments are most marked
are eligible for membership in any
[chapter.
I Bo definite arrangements have been
| made as yet for the installation cere
money, but, according to B. C. Clark,
president of the University -Honor so
I cisty aad a member of Pki Beta Kappa
from the University of Texas, it is pos
sible thst an installing officer might
be sent this term. <
Tint Efforts in 1916.
The University began working for a
chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in lfiiti, but
at that time tne petition did not reach
the senate in time for consideration.
Bast year, renewed effort was made by
the University Honor society, under the
direction of its officers, Hr. Jtt. C. Clark,
Miss Mary Perkins and George Turn
bull.
At present the Honor society consists
of about 60 members, including more
than 40 students who have been chosen
from the classes of 1920, 1921 and 1922,
and members of the faculty who wear
the Phi Beta Kappa key. In granting
the chapter to the University of Ore
gon, membership in Phi Beta Kappa
was not conferred upon the student
members, but they are in line for elec
tion to the society.
Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776
at William and Mary’s college in Vir
ginia. The next three chapters were
granted to Vale, Harvard and Dart
mouth. The first chapter on the Pacific
coast was installed at California in
1696, and Oregon makes the third school
in the Northwest to be recognized,
chapters having already been granted
Washington and Whitman.
Faculty la Pleased.
“The faculty members of the Uni
versity campus are well pleased with
the recognition given to Oregon,” said
Mr. George Turnbull, secretary of the
Honor society. “It really means that
Oregon is recognized among the strong
est institutions in the country.”
President Campbell in his statement
at the time of the granting of the chap
ter said:
“For some years the University of
Oregon has been in line for Phi Beta
Kappa. The equipment, breadth of
work, and general standards of the
University have been all that Phi Beta
Kappa could ask for some tune, and
now that a chapter is finally author
ized we are very much gratified. Pro
ductive scholarship, in which Phi Beta
Kappa is much interested, has reached
a high level at the University, as evi
denced by the various series of mono
graphs describing researches by faculty
members, published by tho University.
Valuable contributions have been made
in pure science and in social science.
Collage Work Improving.
“Undergraduate work in the Univer
sity has for a number of years strength
ened at an even pace with the graduate
work and research work, both directly
by the quality of the courses and equip
ment, and indirectly by the permeation
of the spirit of the graduate school, in
the student body. Graduates of the
University have been making noble re
cords in Eastern graduate schools.”
The following list of faculty mem
bers belong to chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa at other institutions: Mrs. Erie
W. Allen, W. C. Barnes, E. 8. Bates,
W. P. Boynton, B. D. Casey, Dan E
Clark, H. A. Clark, B. C. Clark, T. Clor
an, Mrs. J. Fayard Coon, M. H. Doug
lass, J. 8. Evans, B. Justin Miller, W
E. Millie, Mary Perkins, W. D. Smith
H. B. Torrev and George Turnbull.
DONALD SMYTHE,
EX ’19, TO TALK
-ON PERU MINES
The geology of a country located in
the clouds 15,000 feet above sea-level
will be the subject of the talk to be
given in Condon hall at the rear of the
Administration building at 7:30 this
evening by Donald D. Smythe, Univer
sity of Oregon graduate, who has been
m Peru for over a year in the employ
of a mining incorporation. Mr. Smythe
| is a member of the 1919 class. He
served in France during the war. He re
ceived his M. A. degree from Cornell.
^ Mr. Smythe, who was associated with
Cerro de Pasco Copper company in
Peru, is not to give a technical address
and students and residents of Eugene
who are interested in South America or
who like to hear tales of adventure
have been invited by the Condon club
to be present for the meeting. Ian
Campbell, a post graduate student in
the department of geology, is president
of the club this year and will preside
at the open meeting this evening.
The Cerro de Pasco mines are only
60 miles distant from Lima, the capital
of Peru, yet in that distance the moun
tains rise from the plains of Lima, near
sea-level, to a height of over 15,000
feet—twice the elevation as that of the
Cascade range. Mr. Smythe will proba
bly explain the geology of these mines
and the surrounding area.
Mr. Smythe is well known to Eugene
people. He married Erma Zimmerman,
also! a University graduate, who remain
ed in Eugene while her husband was in
the Andes.

Two Schools Now Crowded
For Class Room
| Buildings for the school of journalism,
the art school, and the gift office are
now being rushed to completion. The
building for tbe school of journalism,
which calls for a contract price of $34,
000, will be a wing of McClure hall. The
art sehool will be housed in a $34,000
frame building. Headquarters for the
$10,000,000 gift campaign will be in the
wooden structure now being completed
behind the Administration building.
It is hoped that these buildings can
be occupied by the first of January,
said Karl Onthank, secretary to Pres
ident Campbell, yesterday, but bad wea
ther may delay operations. Every ef
forfr to have them for the winter term
will be made, he further stated, for
both schools are badly congested. Some
courses were omitted entirely.
The school of journalism will occupy
the entire lower floor of their building.
The department of chemistry and psy
chology will be located on the second
floor. The art building will have one
special feature, a studio and display
room, three-fourths concrete and fire
proof. This is to prevent misfortune,
such as the one this summer when many
valuable art displays and works were
burned.
The infirmary, which was housed in
the burned structure, is now located in
the east end of Friendly hall. A new
building for the infirmary is a possibil
ity this year. State funds are not
available, but Lamar Tooze, chairman
of the gift campaign expects to raise
funds immediately which will be used
for this purpose.
PRIZES PROMOTE
LEMMY’S DRIVE
Unless 2000 Lemon Punch subscribers
are found among the students in the
near future the magazine is likely to go
out of existence says ‘ ‘ Doc ’ ’ Braddock,
editor of the University comic maga
zine.
The drive for 2000 yearly subscribers
was started Monday and up to noon
yesterday only 400 had been reported.
The prize of $10 offered to the person
selling the largest number will evident
ly go to either Inez King, Don Wood
worth, Kenneth Cooper or Margaret
Seymour unless other rapid salesmen
appear in the race.
‘ ‘ Lemmy ’ ’ rated fifth among the uni
versity and college comic publications
of the United States last year, and staff
members say it is to be better and big
ger than ever this year if the drive
goes across.
According to Milton Brown, circula
tion manager, unless the 2000 subscrip
tions are taken in by the end of the
drive the publication will be suspended
and Oregon will lose one of the best
comic magazines in the United States.
All houses which subscribe 100 per
cent are to be given a leather bound
volume for the year. Alpha Sigma was
the first to rate the volume, with the
Delta Zetas second with 100 per cent
subscriptions.
Two loving cups which will be given
to the men and women who obtain the
most subscriptions are now on display
at the Co-op.
RUSH WEEK ENDS;
204 ME PLEDGED
01 FRATERNITIES
Some Organizations Take In
More Than Ten Members;
Men Have 114
KEEN COMPETITION SHOWN
Changes of Residence Made
By Several Groups; One
House Is Built
The pre-quarter week of rushing by
the various fraternities came to a close
last night with 114 men and 90 women
pledged. Last year at the termination
of the second day of registration 95
men had been pledged and the girls’
list, given out on the third day of the
fall term, had 104 names.
It is the consensus of opinion that
never before has there been such a
whirlwind of keen competition between
the various organizations for the choice
of the new students. The intensity of
the feeling aroused has been created, it
is believed, by the more than ordinary
size of the incoming freshman class.
No official figures have as yet been is
sued showing an increase in numbers
over lhst' year, but fraternity circles,
and sorority too, concede that ths Sea
son has presented itself as the. most
promising in the history of the Univer
sity, and that the organisations are
anticipating doing big things this year.
Houss Locations Change.
An interesting feature whioh entered
into the rushing this year is that sev
eral of the fraternities have changed
their place of residence since the dose
of school last June. Phi Delta Theta
fraternity is at the present time com
pleting the only new structure on the
campus. It is a striking building, four
stories in height, with housing capacity
for 30 or more. The Kincaid residence
where the Phi Delta were located last
year is being occupied by Beta Theta ^
Pi, while the Delta Zetas have moved
into the old Beta house on Mill street.
Alpha Tau Omega is located in a
new residence on 13th street which wae
erected for them last summer. Kappa
Theta Chi has purchased a home on
Eleventh and Hilyard streets, and has
remodeled the interior for comfortable
occupation. Alpha Delta Pi has a new
house southeast of the campus, and a
new local fraternity has been organized
to occupy their old home on Alder
street. Several of the older houses have
been renewed with a coat of paint, and
the entire group of fraternities is all
ready for a successful year in 192&-23.
