Organizations Are to Join in
Move of Cooperation
For Campus Good
“I won't send my daughter to the
University of Oregon because she would
uot have half a chance to maintain her
interest in religious things.”
This statement was made by a Port
land physician to L. P. Putnam, secre
tary of the campus Young Men's Chris
tian Association, just before his arrival
in Eugene last fall, and marked the
birth in his mind of a big idea which
is about to revolutionize the organiza
tion of the religious forces here within
a very short time.
About thirty years ago Dr. John E.
Mott, internationally famous for his
work among students, and in inter
church fields, founded the University of
Oregon Y. M. C. A. After struggling
through the difficulties of the pioneer
years the organization came to hold a
position of one of the leading campus
activities.
Then came the war with its abnorm
al conditions and its unnatural impetus
to work. Constant changes in secrear
ies hindered the work to a large extent
and the opening of the fall term last
year saw the work at a low ebb.
Need Is Realized
A realization of the need rallied the
interested forces and L. P. Putnam, for
ten years one of the best known Y
workers in the city of Chicago was ob
tained and a great five year program in
stituted.
In connection with the program Mr.
Putnam led a group of students and
faculty men in a study of the situation
in the light of what other colleges are
doing. Realizing that the University
of Pennsylvania has 1500 men in bible
study groups and that Penn state, Iowa
State and scores of other educational
institutions are making great strides in
this line, it was decided that Oregon’s
showing was poor and that something
should be done. Consequently a con
structive program of reorganization
has been made and a comprehensive
program is to be projected.
A United Board of Religious Educa
tion with representatives from each of
the larger Eugene churches and from
the campus Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C.
A., combining and centralizing the
work of the various secretaries and stu
dent pastors, is now being organized
and bids fair to be the greatest advance
in this line that the state of Oregon
has ever seen.
Immediate Impetus Sought
The immediate impetus for the reor
ganization is the necessity which the
endowment campaign presents. Many
people of wealth throughout the state
will welcome this advance in the cam
pus religious work as assurance that
gifts to the University will be used in
development of the Christian character
as well as the sharpening of intellects,
is the belief of those behind the move
ment. To believe thoroughly in the Uni
versity and its work to the extent of
contributing to its support, many par
ents want to know that their children
will have not only a chance to do re
ligious work but will have fellowship
in their endeavor.
Some of these people may even de
sire to contribute directly to the pro
posed campus building, which will house
the two Y organizations and the student
body offices and provide a meeting
place for campus rganizations.
President P. L. Campbell and John
MacGregor, student body president,
have both expressed themselves as be
ing in favor of the movement to com
bine the campus forces for good into a.
solid phalanx for the creation of a
wholesome religious atmosphere.
Credit Allowed for Courses
Under the new plan the work of the
Y. M. C. A|, Y. W. C. A; and student
pastors will be a part of the greater
University religious program. Great
speakers will be brought to the campus
who will compel attention of every
thinking student on the campus regard
less of his belief. Surveys of condi
tions will be made and a school of re
ligion, with credits given for part of
the courses, similar to that adopted at
the University of California, will be
advanced by the board.
Impetus is being given to the new
plan by the increase in interest in
things religious here on the campus.
Mr. Putnam reports that many students
have come to him this fall with stories
of vital summer experiences that brot
a realization f the worth of service in
a religious way. ‘ ‘ The war has brot
a keen realization to the students that
there is something in life besides sur
face matter and a great united pro
gram for the moral advancement of the
campus will give an outlet for the men
who desire to help,” Mr. Putnam de
clares.
The country generally is seeing a re
vival of interest in religion. The Ore
gon program will be a factor in the
great world movement for the better
ment of humanity and ultimate peace,
he believes.
CAL CLUB WILL BE BUSY
Organization to Promote Acquaintance
Among Golden Staters
The California club is starting out
with enthusiasm this term, having back
most of its old members from last year.
They are planning a large number of so
cial activities this year, and expect to
show the new members some good
times.
The club originated last year for the
purpose of promoting eo-operation
among the California students, and
working as a whole for Oregon. The
club aims also to help the California
students get acquainted, so that all will
know one another and work in harmony.
The officers for this year are Jack
Myers, president; Xelia McGantv, vice
president and Emil Ohio, treasurer. The
first meeting this year will be held in
room 105 commerce building on Wed
nesday evening at S o 'clock.
DEBT TO BE CANCELLED
University of Washington, Oct. 10.—
' (P. I. X. S.)—The annual program of
activities and social events which was
started with the all-university mixer,
Tuesday, October 4. will be even more
extensive this year than in the past.
One of the important events on this
program is Stadium day, October -1.
On this day, bonds on the Stadium debt
which have been retired during the year
will be burned and work will be done on
the stadium. The Homecoming celebra
tion will be held the weekend of Xo
veinber 11, the day of the California
game. Robert Macfarlane, former
president of the A. S. U. W. is handling
this work for the alumni association.
FROSH-SOPH MIX
(Continued from page one)
the senior cohort, fully provided with
the equipment necessary to care for the
rules of a square mix, will be in the
field early next Saturday afternoon.
What field the mix will be staged on
has not yet been determined. John
MacGregor believes that the contest
should take place on Hayward field pro
vided the field will not be spoiled for
the coming football game by the strug
gling contenders. A definite program
for the mix has not been arranged but
it is rumored that last year’s program
will be closely followed. This consisted
of a girls ’ singing contest, a tug of war,
a tie up rodeo, a swagger stick rush, a
flag rush and a sandbag scrap
The score for last year’s mix was
never published, for inasmuch as the
contest was one of the squarest ever
conducted in the history ef the Univer
sity it was never deemed necessary to
state who won.
Unless all signs fail, the sophomores
will have a tough struggle with the
yearlings this time. A number of bare
frosh backs, seen during the froBh par
ade, displayed hardened bunches of
muscles. Because of this the seniors
will be much more diligent in their ef
forts to be certain that the mix is
square.
Another feature of the mix, though
participation therein -is confined solely
to members of the upper class, and re
sults will not be visible for weeks, is
the mustache race began by the sen
iors. After the mix, the squarest one
in the history of the University, every
senior is bound by a solemn obligation
to allow no razor to trespass on the up
per lip until the contest ends sometime
next spring.

ber of good jokes and was worth al
most as much as they charged for it).
One of the main features of the sum
mer was the Summer Sun, daily paper,
with a Mahomet and the mountain form
of circulation, appearing every morn
ing outside the library. The staff was
made up of several enterprising mem
bers of Mr. Turnbull’s class in report
ing and was very good with the excep
tion of Barney McPliillipps, sports edi
tor. who forgot to report the most ex
citing game of the season between the
married and single men because he was
on the “single” team and was exhaust
ed after the encounter with several
married men more in practice than he
was.
Every member of the last summer

; the showing of the entire squad. Among
the most promising aspirants for posi

HEAT IS COMING TO SHACK
Chilly Journalists Will Have Warmer
Place in Which to Work
Connection of the heating pipes with
the journalism shack has practically
been completed.
In order to make room for the annex
which is being built to McClure hall, it
became necessary to move the portion
of the shack not destroyed by the fire
last summer. Moving, together with
the fire, completely disorganized the
old heating system in the shack and
made necessary the addition of new
[pipes and radiators. As soon as the
j radiators are connected the students
! and those who work late at night on
the Emerald will have no reason to
complain of chilly atmosphere in the
shack.

ON COAST PAPERS
Undergraduates Hold Places
for Summer on Many
Publications
Summer vacation found many Ore
iron undergraduate journalists employ
ed on various publications throughout
the state and on the coast.
‘•Ken” Youel, Emerald editor, and
“Ed" Fraser, sports editor of the Em
erald, struggled against each other in
the daytime for competing dailies in
Albany and at night made up and went
to the show together. Ken labored for
the Democrat while Ed punched the
typewriter for the Herald.
Clinton Howard hied himself to sun-;
nv California and scampered after news
,for the San Francisco Chronicle. “Kap”j
i Kuhn, the little fellow with the shadow
sombrero, held down the advertising
manager's job on the Marshfield Times.
Kap is small, but he can handle a whale
of a job, on the coast paper.
Frederick L. Rice, John Piper, and
Florence Cartwright figured in the daily
makeup on the Portland Oregonian
while Marvin Blaha was employed on
the rival Journal in the mechanical;
department.
Ear! Voorhies did time on the Grants!
Pass Courier, and farther north Doris
Sykes showed the natives of Cottage
Grove how they gather news at the
University. Phil Brogan and Howard
Godfrey spent their time in Eugene
on the Register staff while Leitn Ab
bott was telegraph editor on the Eu
gene Guard.
Down in Oregon City Dan Lyons put
in some lusty licks on the Enterprise
staff while his contemporary, Alfred
Erickson, broke into print with signed
sports stuff on the Clatskanie Chief.
Ianthe Smith spent the summer
months on the Albany Democrat gather
ing news of the valley metropolis.
Mary Hathaway served on the Ore
gon City Enterprise. Art Rudd again
did his stuff for the benefit of the Pen
dleton Round-Up and by the decided
success of the affair Art must have
done some whirlwind work. Jaspler
Crawford did his bit this summer on
the Heppner Gazette-Times.
So far this doughty eighteen are all
that will divulge the fact that they
were engaged in the newspaper game
during the summer. If there are any
others, they could not be ferreted out
by the Emerald reporter.
CO-OP STORE SELLS
6,000 TEXT BOC^S
First Four Days Sales of Term Excel
Business Done in Tear 1916
When Store Started
The University Co-op store is also
having a “best ever” this year, accord
ing to Manager M. F. McClain. The
Co-op store has sold 6,000 text books
since the beginning of the current quar
ter, a mark that has never been reached
before by the Co-op in that length of
time. Business transactions the first
four days last week have exceeded that
of the first year which the Co-op ru..,
| which was in 1916. Business at the end
of the second year of the establishment I
of the Co-op exceeded the total amount j
of business which had been transacted
;at the University for a term of ten
years.
A notable feature of the Co-op store
is that only student help is employed.
There are now eight students working
there, and last year five students earn
ed their way through college by means
of work secured at the Co-op store.
Approximately 25,000 text books
have been sold by the Co-op store since
its establishment; the average value of
these books ranging around $3 each.
The most expensive books that have'
been sold at the Co-op store were some
special law books which sold for $35 a
volume.
The Co-op store, which was incorpor
ated in 1916, has the following cabinet
of officers: Nelson English, ’23, presi
dent; Harold Simpson, ’23, secretary
treasurer; Paul Sayre, ’24, vice-presi
dent; Jack Myers ’24, and Tom Hughes
’25, delegates at large; J. F. Bovard
and Dr. J. H. Gilbert, faculty members.
These officers are elected at the end
of every year by the stock holders,
which consist of those students who
hold Co-op tickets.
M. F. McClane, ’06, who was gradu
ate manager until succeeded by Bene
fiel, has been manager of the Co-op j
store since its establishment. !

test of the season, as the clubmen have
an aggregation of former college stars,
and are out to win if it is possible. Sev
eral former lemon-yellow stars are in
the lineup, including Bill Steers and
the Jacobbergers, so it is easily seen
that Oregon is up against the real thing
this week.
SPANISH CLUB TO MEET
An informal reunion of the Spanish
club will be held on Wednesday eve
