NUMBER 21
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
IS MAIN TOPIC OF
PLEDGE DAT TALKS
Disregard of Constitution Is
Treason, Declares Colonel
W. S. Gilbert
STUDENTS VOW LOYALTY
Superintendent Churchill Reads
Pledge in Absence of
Governor Olcott
The lesson of good, loyal, serviceable
citizenship was driven home to the stu
dents of the University of Oregon by
Colonel W. S. Gilbert, member of the
board of regents, at the twelfth an
nual pledge day exercises held, for the
first time in the Woman’s building, yes
terday morning.
Colonel Gilbert, who is widely known
throughout the state as chaplain of the
O. N. G., addressed the assembly on
“The Romance of Oregon.” “The ro
mance of the Oregon soldier,” he de
clared, “is a chapter in history itself,”
las he reviewed the part taken by the
'sons of Oregon during the World war.
Speaking of the citizenship of Oregon
the colonel said that “out of the war
has come a new realization of its ex
haltation,” and that now the general
trend is to establish a better citizen
ship not only throughout the state but
throughout the entire nation. Colonel
Gilbert cited the fact that there has j
come a laxity in obedience of the law j
and especially of the laws pertaining to j
the eighteenth amendment to the eon-;
stitution. He closed his statement by,
declaring that “a man who is not loyal
to the constitution is a traitor to the
country.”
War Question Subject
Now that the war is over there are j
just as many grave questions facing
the people of Oregon, and the call for
^ good and loyal citizens is just as strong,
the Colonel declared. He then told of
meeting with a young naval captain,
who was on his way to Oregon after be
ing mustered out of the army after the
war, and who told him of the work of
the American navy in the North sea.
When the colonel congratulated him on
completing “a man’s job,” he said, “I
get the greatest satisfaction from the
knowledge that I have done some little
part to put the big thing across.” In
closing his address Gilbert said that
every student should do his best for
his state and that his reward would be
the feeling “that in Oregon he had
done some little part to put the big
thing across.”
Because of an unavoidable absence
of Governor Olcott, State Superinten
dent of Schools J. A. Churchill admin
istered the pledge. Before reading the
pledge to the students Churchill spoke
of the investment that the people of
the state are making in the institution
and the returns which they expect from
their investment.
Institution Is Investment
“In establishing and maintaing this
institution the people of the state have
made an investment in you and from
which it expects as a return a more
efficient citizenship,” Churchill declar
ed. The superintendent stated that at
the present time the state is menaced
by five evils: the demagogue, compla
cency, indifference, ignorance and the
holding of feeling above thinking as
L. a motive for action. He contended that
it is the duty of each and every citizen
of the state to fight these menaces, and
closed his address by saying that if this
is done “you will be living for your

COMMITTEE SUPPORTS
COUNCIL ON BONFIRE
Faculty Will Take Further Ac
tion on Nov. 1
Decision of the iipperelass student
committee o'1 live, meeting yesterday af
ternoon in an advisory capacity with
the faculty eomm.ltee regarding the
limiting of the freshman bonfire, post
pones all further action on the bonfire
question until the general faculty meet
ing, Wednesday afternoon, November
1. The faculty committee of five, also
concurred with the student council res
olution.
The original question of limitation
of the bonfire, arose at the October
faculty meeting, approximately three
weeks ago. At that time President
Campbell appointed a committee of fac
ulty members to look into the question
and present a report on the plan at the
November meeting of the faculty.
At the request of this committee,
John MacGregor, student president, ap
pointed a committee of five upperclass
students in the University, representing
all of the upperclassmen in the Univer
sity, to confer in an advisory capacity.
These committees met in consultation
Tuesday evening and after some' debate
reached a definite decision, which was
presented to the student council meet
ing Wednesday for approval. The coun
cil approved of the action of the com
mittees, and recommended it to the
faculty. Yesterday afternoon the two
committees met again to arrange for
ther details in the plan and to prepare
it finally for presentation to the fac
ulty.
The plan as it now stands is that the
ban will be lifted Thursday noon, and
that freshmen may go to work at that
time if they have no classes. All men
of the class will be expected to work on
the pyre after classes Thursday after
noon, and they will probably work all
night, Thursday night. Friday, all
freshmen will be excused from their
classes, to work on the fire, which must
be completed by 5 o’clock that evening,
in order to be ready for the rally.
The committees recommend that no
limit be placed on the size of the fire
in width, but that the fire marshal’s
ruling of 40 to 45 feet in height be ad
hered to.
In order that the freshmen may have

Strong Wills Required If Girls
Wish to Keep Flowing Tresses
In these days it takes a girl with a
strong will to save her long hair. The
bobbed haired girls seem to have united
in an attempt to have only short heads
on the campus.
It works this way. The victim of the
raid being chosen, her sisters plan a
concentrated attack. The unsuspecting
girl returns home from class and is met
with a series of rapidly fired questions.
“Why don’t you bob your hairf”
“Think of the time it will save.”
“You know it will do your hair
good.”
“At the rate your hair is falling out
your head will soon be bald.”
All this time the protesting girl is
being pushed into the nearest room, her
hair taken down, and all is prepared
for the a tual slaughter. At this point
the subject of interest has been per
suaded that it is a crime to have long
hair.
One girl grabs a pair of scissors, man
icure or otherwise, haste being the nec
essary element, and in a few minutes
the long hair is hacked off. The last
wail hedrd from the victim is, “If my
mother could see me now!”
Then another babble of voices.
“It looks darling.”
“I never saw anyone who looked bet
ter with short hair.”
“It eertainly is an improvement.”
“Everyone will be crazy about you
now.”
The poor girl, gazing dumbly, first
at the uneven, short, clinging hair, re
f’eeted in the mirror, then at the love
ly long hair lying on the bureau, bursts
into tears, and vows never to be sees
'again without a hat.
But the others are happy, the number
of bobbed haired girls in the house has
reached nine!
“Isn’t it too gtod to be trust" they
ask one another.
TURK ATROCITIES
UYRIWG1
TOLD If VISITOR
Necessity of More Relief for
Orphans and Babes Noted
By Miss Cole
NAVY PROTECTS REFUGEES
Belief Stated That America
Should Have Backed
England’s Stand
“Oh, there is so much to tell about!
A few minutes is only too inadequate
in which to picture the terrible atro
cities suffered at the hands of the
Turks by these Greeks and Armenians,”
said Miss Nellie Cole, visitor on the
‘campus, who has recently returned from
Trebizond where she was in charge of
a girls ’ school. She reached into a bag
nearby extracting a large package of
pictures of the girls with whom she
was associated, little tots with big wist
ful brow* eyes, dark skin and very
determined young chins, older girls
fall with the same large dark eyes, and
looking surprisingly like our own girls.
“Oh, if we could only realze how like
us they are,” she said. “Now that one
escaped,” pointing to one, “but the
other—I searched for hoping that T
might find her in one of the Turkish
houses but she must have been massa
cred. And these little kiddies, they are
from the orphanage; they are all very
bright and it has been a great joy to
the workers to see the children change
from abject fear of little hunted ani
mals to a confiding trust in American
helpers whom they have come to depend
ton so completely. So many of them
had trichoma, and they would stand
perfectly still while they were treated
with blue vitriol if one of us would
hold their heads tightly during the pro
cess.
“I went to the Near East not know
ing exactly what I was going to do,”
Miss Cole went on. “I was willing to
do anything, and when I arrived I
found that I was to have charge of the
Ischool of girls in Smyrna. The first
thing we tried to do was to make them
feel safe and well. They were in terri
ble mental and physical condition and
by care and sympathy we gained their
confidence and by regular meals we
built up their bodies and filled out their
faces, and they are beautiful girlsl We
let them make clothes for themselves
and they became very happy at the
school. They came to me with every
thing—to pull their teeth even!
“I wanted not only the wisdom of
Solomon but a knowledge of all the
professions,” she said with a smile that
made you realize how easy it must iKEve
been for her to win thpir confidence.
Miss Cole emphasized that it would
be a grave mistake for Americans to
stop giving now. All the food the ba
bies have—and there are thousands of
them, she says, on the quays with their
refugee mothers—is supplied by Near
East Relief. And the situation is so
acute now that only sick babies are
'allowed food—apd then it is canned
milk. She told of several pathetic in
stances of babies dying for the want
of milk, just starved to death.
“They have gone through so much
that we mustn’t stop now,” she con
tinued. “The orphans must not suffer
and those babies must not die.”
Miss Cole told of how the Turks call
ed the Greeks out of Trebizond, pre
then sent them into the interior to care
sumably a measure of conscription, and
sent them into the interior to care
for themselves . These Greeks, who
were well-to-do, had good homes, and
sent their children away to school, had
40 per cent of all their possessions tak
en as tribute and in many cases all was
taken. Family after family was reduc
ed to poverty and exile and everything
sold, even to wedding trousseau.
The Greeks and Armenians do not
trust the promises of the Turks, who
assure safety and peace and then come
to burn, dishonor and destroy. “If you
could only see that long quay full of
people—”
She told of the work of several re
lief workers, and of how the children
were saved by their efforts and through
the protection of the American flag.
During the burning of Smyrna seveal
•soldiers rushed up the steps of the place
where the children were—a voice cried
out: “Come back! can’t yom see the
American flag!” Of course it was or
dered by Kemal and they realized what
I it meant if the flag were ignored. Mus
| tapha Kemal is the leader of Mb people.
Witness the fact that he just ordered
that the Sultan at Constantinople be the
i religious and not temporal head of the
Turks.

worst massacres occurred, though the
persecution began on the 9th. The Wi

Special Train Over Oregon Electric Will Leave
Eugene at 7:25 Tomorrow Morning to Arrive
in North at Noon; Street Parade Will Start
From Front of Imperial Hotel; 800 May Go
“On to Portland.”
Tomorrow morning at 7:25 a goodly
detachment of the Thundering Thou
sand heads northward from the Eugene
Oregon Electric depot towards Portland
where the Idaho Vandals and the Var
sity tangle in Oregon’s pivotal game
of the season. The special train is
scheduled to arrive in Portland at 12
o ’clock, giving the students time to
take lunch before gathering for the
pep parade up Washington street to
the Multnomah football field.
After the luncheon hour tomorrow,
the rendezvous of the Oregon students
will be in front of the Imperial hotel,
where the hosts of noise will fall in be
hind the 45-piece band. The musicians
are to be garbed in the new student
body band uniform, white trousers and
rooters’ caps.
Art Rosebraugh, emperor of the staff
of three yell kings and one assistant,
last night made it known that all per
sons taking part in the Portland street
parade will be expected to wear the
official rooter cap.
First call for Vandal meat resounded
over the University campus yesterday
evening when an impromptu parade was
staged. Despite the fact that a drizzling
rain shrouded the campus conifers, a
goodly host of the spirited students fell
in behind the band and broadcast
through the fraternity and sorority dis
trict the call for Oregon fight. Tho cus
todians of tho spirit of victory gather- j
ed on Alder street and then marched
to the campus, increasing their ranks
en route.
It is expected by the yell kings, Rose
braugh, Keeney, and Oberteuffer, and
their assistant, Fred Martin, that 8001
will make the trip north for the Oregon
Idaho game tomorrow. All four yoll
leaders will accompany the students on
the special train.
When marching in to their places in
the Multnomah stadium, the Oregon
rooters will be given megaphones. It
is expected that tlioir ranks will be
greatly supplemented by the Portland
alumni.
The special train will leave Portland,
southward bound, at 8 o’clock tomorrow
and will arrive in Eugene at 12. The
round-trip ticket will cost $5.08. This
ticket will be good until Sunday.
Realizing the importance of the
game, the yell kings are urging the
students to make the journey to the
state’s metropolis tomorrow. “Oregon
is conceded a fair chance to win from
Idaho if the old tight is aroused,” said
Rosebraugh last night. “It is up to the
students to accompany the team and to
make the men realize that they are be
ing supported.”
Tickets to the game must bo obtained
at the Co-op by showing student body
tickets. Admission to the Oregon-Idaho ,
game will cost 50 cents when the stu- |
dent body ticket is shown, but these
passes must be purchased in Eugene.
Students remaining in Eugene will
receive the returns by quarters at the
Rex ami Castle theaters, according to
an announcement made by the manager
of the two theaters.
MRS. MURRAY WARNER
MAKES MORE ART GIFTS
Rare Mandarin Coats Added to
Oriental Collection
The most recent gift to the Univer
sity of Oregon of Mrs. Murray Warner
includes three rare Mandarin coats, a
quantity of embroidered articles from
India and China, a rare Chinese paint
ing of Buddha,several Hungarian wed
ding caps embroidered in gold and a
Turkish scarf of gold and colored
threads.
Mrs. Warner is the donor of the War
ner Oriental collection. The gifts just
announced are in addition to this col
lection. Some of the articles in the
most recent gift, notably the mandarin
coats, were given first to the Smithson
ian Institution but Mrs. Warner was
able to persuade the institution officials
to permit the University to have the
collection.
5400 In Cash Given
Mrs. Warner also gave the University
this week $400 in cash to provide cases
for the display of the recent gift in the 1
Woman’s building.
One of the Mandarin coats is of Man
churian make, woven on a blue back
ground. The patterns on the coat are j
in gold, silver and copper threads. The
coat is equal to any article of similar
nature in the Warner gift of last year.
In the new collection is an Imperial
robe with the pattern of the Imperial
insignia and two other rare robes with
the patterns woven in Imperial yellow
silk.
One of the most beautiful or the gifts
made in India is a wall hanging of gold
embroidery. An embroidered skirt and
six bands of embroidery are also in
cluded in the collection from India. j
There are perhaps seventy-five pieces
of Chinese and Japanese embroidered
articles made to decorate Mandarin,
coats. The wall hanging or painting
representing Buddha is a rich and beau
tiful Chinese tapestry which would cov- j
er a wall ten by five feet.
Other Gifts Included
A large embroidered Russian scarf!
is included in the collection and four
Chinese paintings on silk are among the
many rare things given by Mrs. Warner.
Mtb. Warner gave the department of
normal arts twenty photographic re
productions of paintings of the early
Italian school to be used in class room
work.

IDAHO TO HAVE SPECIAL
U. of I., Moscow, Oct. 23.—(P. I. P.
A.)—Arrangements are being made by
the O. W. R. & N. officials to provide
a special to Boise for the Armistice
day game. The students from Southern
Idaho are very enthusiastic about this
^project because it gives them a chance
to see the game and have a flying visit
home, on the side.
COLLEGE HELD NO BAR
TO SPIRITUAL THINGS
Northwestern U Man Discusses
Problems at Y
“Just bocauso a university man is a
thinking man is no reason why ho
should suppose he can afford to pass
by spiritual things,” said Dr. H. F. Ball,
head of systematic theology at. Gar
rett Biblical Institute, Northwestern
University, when interviewed Tuesday
at the “Y” hut, where ho met individ
ually students who desired to discuss
tlieir problems with him. lie is trav
eling throughout the northwest visiting
colleges and schools in the interest of
the spiritual life of the students.
“No wonder religion doos not assume
a big part in a man's university life,”
said Dr. Ball. “The men and women
have had training, both moral and spir
itual, when they were small. Now that
they have grown older they devote less
and less time to religious thought. It
is not that they are against religion,
particularly, but that they stop think
ing about things spiritual.”
Minds at High School Stage
When asked what ho thought of the
religious life of the ordinary student
he replied with enthusiasm, “When
young men graduate from our univer
sities and colleges they are broadened
in mind. They can take their place
as leaders in the affairs of the world.
IBut as for religion, well, they have a
high school mind when it comes to
things spiritual.”
Dr. Ball pointed out the necessity
of each student concerning himself with
his convictions on the deeper things of
life. “Every student ought to have
convictions,” he said, in discussing the
great lack of actual thought on the
moral and spiritual life, “for his actions
and character depend largely on those
convictions.”
It was Dr. Ball’s opinion that if men
would pay more attention to their spir
itual life the great moral, spiritual and
even business problems would bo largely
solved, for business ethics and social
ethics are both based on individual
.character and convictions.
First Trip to This Section
This is I)r. Ball's first trip to the
•northwest, and he expressed great re
gret that be could not spend more time
in seeing some of the spots of scenic
beauty that are to bo found here. His
stay in Eugene was only of one day’s
duration.
He addressed a luncheon party of
Methodist men and students at the An
chorage, then spent the afternoon in
consultation with individuals who
brought their problems to him for coun
cil. •

ILL BE PIVOTAL
CLASH OF SEASON
Huntington Expresses Belief
Vandals Will Be Defeated
In Portland
MATHEW’S MEN OUT TO WIN
Varsity’s Opponents in Many
Grid Battles Have Won
Few Victories
The first coast conference game of
,tho season for the Varsity is that
against Idaho at Portland tomorrow.
On the outcome of this contest the re
cord of Oregon for this season depends
to a great extent, for if the team is
beaten it will practically be out of the
race for coast honors.
Coach Huntington last night said the
result of the game depends a great deal
on how the Oregon team fights. “I feel
that wo are going to win,” he said, “but
don’t know any reason for feeling that
way, as Idaho has by far the strongest
team that we have met this season.”
Twenty-Two Making Trip
The 22 men making the trip are
Chapman, Byler, Parsons, King, the
Johnson trio, Bill, Ward and Terry,
Vondor Alio, Jordan, Gram, Latham,
Kirtloy, Tergeson, Bus Brown, Bud
Brown, Jack Moyers, Prink Callison,
Captain Tiny Shields, Floyd Shields,
McKeown, Zachory, and Beed. Accom
panying the team are Coaches Hunting
ton and Spellman, Trainer Hayward and
student manager Lawrence Hall.
Idaho, under tho coaching of Ma
thews, is primed for this game, as it
has never won a game from the Lemon
Yellow teams since the schools opened
athletic relations in 1900. Last year
they were doped to trounce the Varsity
but Oregon came out and held the Van
dal eleven to a 7 to 7 tio.
This your the Idaho men have an
oven break, or are even conceded to
have tho edge on the Varsity, but they
never seem to produco enough against
Oregon to win, and the result is hard to
predict. George Vnrnell, one of the
leading roforecB of the coast stated re
cently that Idaho has tho fastest line
on the coast, so if tho Varsity is to car
ry off the bacon this season, and koep
their long list of victories over the
Vandals untarnished, it behoovos the
men to play faster football than they
have shown so far this season.
Coach Huntington will not decide
what team to start, until time for tho
game, but tho probablo lineup that ho
gave will place Ward Johnson at full
back, Gram and Jordan as halves, and
Chapman at quarter. The line will have
Callison as center, Tiny1 and Floyd
Shields as guards, Mch'eown and Ven
der Ahe as tackles, and Hud Brown
and Terry Johnson as ends.
Latham on Shelf
Hunk Latham, who has been showing
more dash and speed than any of the
other backs this year, will bo out of
the game because of a twisted knee
which ho received over a week ago.
Hunk will be missed especially in tho
punting, as he had been sending the
ball out regularly for 50 yards before
he was injured. Dutch Gram will prob
ably handle the punting for the team
tomorrow, as he also is good for around
45 or 50 yards every time he boots the
ball.
The line as it will start tomorrow
looks stronger than any lino that has
started for Oregon for years, for with
McKoown and Vonder Aho as tackles,
Callison at center, the two Shields as
guards, holes should be opened in any
line.
One feature of this game Is that a
large section of Oregon rooters is as
sured, as practically half tho students
are planning to spend the week-end in
Portland.
