Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1922 NUMBER 25 SOU ROUNDING INTO SHAPE FOR COUGAR BATHE All Cripples But Latham Now Getting Back Into Game; Coach Working Men HARDEST TILT HOMECOMING Bohler Says W. S. C. Stronger Than Washington, Though Defeated Saturday Oregon still has a fine chance in the coast race for football honors, in the opinion of Basketball Coach George Bohler, who attended the University of Washington-Washington State game last Saturday. Although Washington won by a last minute forward pass at tack, Bohler believes that Washington State has the stronger team, and says the hardest game of the year for the Varsity will be the Homecoming affair. Practically all the cripples with the exception of Hunk Latham are getting back into the game this week, but Hunk’s knee s causing trainer Bill Hay watd quite a bit of worry as it is not healing up at all as it should. Hunk had the knee injured in scrimmage with the Frosh team just before the Whit man game, and it has laid him up ever since. Hunk is a great asset in the backfield, the coaches say, and gives the whole team a feeling of confidence. Backfield Getting in Shape Ward Johnson and Dutch Gram, the other two backfield men who have been on the inactive list because of injuries are in fair shape now, except that Ward has a badly sprained ankle received in the Idaho struggle. The line is the part of the team just' now that the coaching staff is proud of. With the addition of Captain Shields and Prink Callison, who played their first game last Saturday, most of the worry of the coaches over their forward defense vanished, as both these men played a wonderful game considering the fact that they had previously taken part in only a very few scrimmages. With Floyd Shields, Vonder Ahe, Mc Keown, Brown, Spear, Johnson and some of the fast subs as the rest of the line, the team should be able to meet and walk on any other line on the coast, as Tiny Shields, Rud Brown and Prink Calison are each playing their third year, while Floyd Shields and Vonder Ahe made their second “O” in the Idaho game. Coach Working Squad Coach Huntington at present is work ing the squad hard with the prospects of the most difficult game of the season only a little over a week away, and says there are a great many improve ments to be brought about before the clash with the Cougars. Terry Johnson, who played end in the Idaho contest, showed up well for his first appearance, with the exception of the first play of the game, in which the Idaho backs ran around him for 30 yards. With the experience gained in the Vandal mix, Terry should get along all right for the rest of the season. At present it looks as if the biggest problem that will confront the coach ing staff for the Homecoming game will be that of selecting a team from the available material instead of the prob lem of getting a good team on the field. TURKEY DAY WILL BRING HOLIDAYS TWO VACATION DATS ARE ON CALENDAR THIS TEAR Faculty Provision is For No School Friday if Students Do Not Cut Classes to Get Home Students will be able to aid the fam I ily in consuming that big Thanksgiving : turkey and will have time to get over the dispeptic after-effects, this year, for the faculty ruling granting a vacation extending from the last class session !on Wednesday to the beginning of class sessions the following Monday, passed last year, still holds. Because of the practice among the students to cut their Wednesday after noon classes in order to get an early start for home and because of the fail ure to return for Monday morning classes there was some contention among the members of the faculty last year as to whether or not classes should be held on the Friday following Thanks giving. A faculty committee was appointed to look into and decide upon the matter and a decision in favor of holding class es was rendered. Petitions asking for a reversal of the decision were circu lated by the stndents and presented at the faculty meeting held November 2, through the student council. After considering the petitions of the students, together with a petition pre sented by the student council, and after obtaining from the council a promise to urge all students not to cut classes the decision was reversed. However, a pro vision was made in the decision that, should class-cutting occur, the, holiday would be limited to one day and classes would be held on the following Friday. SENIOR SLEUTH SCENTS KAPPA KOEFEE Kill Most Hardened Males Fall For Feminine Wiles “Kalling kards, but no white kollars or silk dresses at the Kappa Koffee. Home in skool klothes, kids!” So say the seniors of Kappa Kappa Gamma who are entertaining the mem bers of the senior class at the annual social function in the Kappa house, from four until six this afternoon. Bill McBride will preside over the ivories, and several campus notables will pour. Ham sandwiches and coffee! Lots of, the former and the latter piping hot. Just the thing to cheer the senior on for another strenuous “leap” of this eventful week. In addition to this sub stantial and appetizing attraction, the Kappas say that they have a big sur prise to spring in the way of eats. Yesterday afternoon the Gamma Phis and the Thetas were hostesses at a matinee dance in honor of the Celebrat-1 ing Seniors. The Gamma Phi house was decorated with spooky Jack-o-lanterns, vines and corn stalks, and great bowls of crisp pop corn, succulent all-day suckers provdied for the merrymakers. Rumor has it that tonight many of the Senior Leapers will find their way to some down-town hop, and it is ex pected that various cinema attractions will appeal to those already weary of the more strenuous pastime. “This is great! Let’s keep it up!” was the expression of a wearer of the sombrero in commenting on Senior Leap Week. It is rumored that even members of the Obak club, which was formed for the purpose of resisting any attempts (Continued on page four.) Hallowe’en Time for Glee and Fun; Students Respect Campus A person may study philosophy or sci ence or half a dozen or more deep and serious-minded subjects, but when Ilal lowe ’en comes again, most people are just kids. At least, this is what Dean Straub says, and he’s seen enough of the biggest and best classes in history steal his gates and rob the women’s porch swings and soap everybody’s win dows, so that he ought to have some thing to say in the matter. Ticktacks gritting—gates walking off on two legs (or maybe more), cows standing lonesomely on co-ed porches— property departing by the hands of more or less shadowy spooks—Dean Straub has seen them all. “At Hallowe’en students are just like some other people—grown-up boys,” the Dean said. “But as a general rule the students have been very considerate. In the days when we had fences, they used to steal our gates; mine was lost that way once, but they brought it back to me four or five days later.” In the depredations of Hallowe’en spooks, the University campus and prop erty have always been respected, Dean Straub says. “I don’t recall a single time when University students or any one else ever marred a University build ing,” he declared. Class numerals, and the like, have, of course, often made their appearance in brilliant paint on different campus landmarks—but never with Hallowe’en as an excuse. The night of the thirty-first is the night when University men set forth to raid the back porch refrigerators, steal porch boxes and swings, borrow canoes, and put soap on windows for the freshmen to clean off next day. University women, on the other hand, endeavor to see that nothing, of a port able nature, is left upon their premises. They take in the flower-boxes, remove the swing from its usual place, lock and bar the doors and windows, and then, according to the rest of the pic ture, retire for the night in fear and trembling. The more adventurous, how lever, have been known to do such things as walk backward down the basement stairs with a mirror and lighted candle, peering earnestly and questioningly into the mirror to see if her true love’s face may appear looking over her shoulder. All the psychology in the psychology de partment hasn’t entirely done away with superstition. Dean Straub declares that he isn’t ■ qualified to tell about all the bad thing* (Continued on page three.) HUS ARTISTS TOMA HERE: RESULT OF FUND Students Will Have Chance to Attend Concerts of Great Value DADMUN IS FIRST TO COME Dean Landsbury Says Singer Is Prominent Figure of Musical World In accordance with the passage of the amendment to the student constitution last spring, providing for fifty cents to be added to the student body fee each term, to provide a fund with whicl^ to bring famous artists, nationally and internationally known in the world of music to the campus for the benefit of the students, the campus music commit tee has announced the first concert of the year to take place in Villard hall, November 14, the Tuesday after Home coming. Royal Dadmun, an American baritone, both by birth and by training will visit the campus at that time. The singer has been a prominent figure in the world of music during the last twelve years and has added each year to laurels and reputation, which he has won by the beauty of his voice. In his visit to the coast this year, Dadmun will open the symphony con cert series in Portland about the time that he will sing on the campus, and great interest is anticipated in his com ing there. “We are especially fortunate,” said Dean Landsbury of the School of Mus is,. “in securing Dadmun to open the concert series this year. He is one of the prominent singers who is to be on the coast this year, and ho is also one { of the most prominent singers in Amer ica today. The fact that he is appear ing in the opening of the symphony con cert series in Portland speaks for it self.” The Dadmun concert will be held in the Armory, and students will be ad mitted upon presentation of their stu-; dent body tickets. Tickets will also be on sale for the people of Eugene. Speaking of this concert series, Dean Landsbury. said, “We look forward to this' series as being one of the great sources of student inspiration on the 1 campus. We are going to bring as many of the good artists as come to the coast to the University campus as we are able. We also hope in time to ac cumulate enough of a surplus in the music fund to allow us to bring some of the commercially valuable artists such as Geraldine Farrar to the Univer sity. Intrinsically, as far as voice alone is concerned, neither Miss Farrar nor any other artist is worth such huge sums as are needed to bring them here, but the people pay more to hear them because of their great reputation. If we are able to carry out our plan, the j University of Oregon will become I known as one of the music capitals of the West.” STUDENTS ASKED TO WRITE Only Ten Days Remain Until Alumni of Oregon Return for Homecoming Homecoming is but ten days distant and in this brief period thousands of people in all parts of the state must be i made to feel the call of the campus— must be made to realize that the recep tion for the returning alumni is being prepared on a large scale. This was the ultimatum delivered last night by John MacGregor, president of the associated students. University al umni are now being bombarded with is sues of Old Oregon and Winnagen, but personal letter: from students will be a more effective means of bringing alumni back to Oregon at Homecoming, believes MacGregor. “Every student here should write one or more letters to friends or relatives, calling their attention to Homecoming,” said the student body president. “One of the most effective means of adver tising Homecoming is the special en velopes which have been prepared.” During the next few days the plea to write letters telling about Homecoming is to be broadcast over the campus. FOSSILS ARE RECEIVED Fossils of the Oligocene age have been received at the geology depart ment recently. These specimens were I Bent by Dr. Bruce L. Clark, curator of the paleontological museum at the Uni versity of California, to be used for ; comparative purposes by Hubert G. 8chenck, graduate student in the de partment, who is preparing his master’s | thesis on the Oligocene age in western i Oregon. This period comes between the I eocene and miocene ages of the ceno I zoic period. SPEAKER’S TOPIC Mrs. Trumbull Talks to Class in Ethics; Knowledge of Conditions Needed CO-ED COOPERATION ASKED Methods Used in Conservation of Laborer’s Physical Powers Discussed College women have a large place in the program of improvement of the con ditions of working women, according to Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, secretary of the Industrial Welfare commission and Child Labor board, who addressed the class in Villard hall yesterday after noon. The first requisite, according to Mrs. Trumbull, is that the college wo men must understand the conditions un der which the working women labor. Knowing this, they can then take steps toward real social service, in encourag ing the workers in the factories to bet ter their conditions. In her talk to the class in ethics, Mrs, Trumbull emphasized the great import ance of keeping the body in fit condi tion to do tho work for which pay is received. “We must have a strong, healthy body,” said Mrs. Trumbull. ‘The uncertain worker is a liability to the employer. What we want to sell to our employer is our bodily strength^ jo when a girl goes out to take a posi tion, one of the first things she must do is to equip her body so that it can be depended upon.” Present Conditions Discussed Discussing working conditions in fac tories and other places where women gather to work every day, Mrs. Trum bull pointed out some of the efforts that are being made to make working condi tions more favorable to conservation of the workers’ strength and health. All of the modern factories, she said, are being built so that they occupy one story wherever possible to obtain en augh ground to build in this way. Con crete floors are covered with linoleum >r boards where the workers must stand.; This is one of the requirements of tho . Dregon labor laws. When asked how, in her opinion, the working conditions for women in Ore gon compare with those of other states, Mrs. Trumbull replied that she believes that, as a general thing, they are good. Consideration must be made, however, for the nature of the industry in ques tion, she said. The Oregon employers have not been as reactionary as in other states, especially in the east and middle west, with the result that the wages have not been cut as severely here aB in other sections of the United States. Last summer, for tho first time, the Consumers’ league sent a working wo man to Bryn Mawr, to spend the sum mer on the campus and study any sub jects she desired. This undertaking cost the league about $1,000 and the results were quite satisfactory. Mrs. Trumbull believes that a movement should be started to send the delegate from Ore gon to the University of Oregon, rather than to the eastern school, as the Uni versity offers quite as great advantages, and the added expense saved may be used perhaps in sending more than one delegate. This matter will have Mrs. Trumbull’s careful attention, and it is possible that before long some action will be taken in this direction. Interested In Child Labor Mrs. Trumbull is keenly interested in the question of laboring conditions of women and minors. She has been con nected with this work in Oregon ever since the passage of the original child labor law in 1903. The commission ap pointed, by ex-Governor Chamberlain consisted of women, who served with out pay. Incidentally, it may be said, that women were appointed for this post because they would serve without pay. Since the Child Labor board and the Industrial Welfare commission were joined together in 1917, Mrs. Trumbull has retained the office of secretary of both departments. As secretary of the Industrial Wel fare commission, Mrs. Trumbull’s duty is to inspect factories and industrial plants for working conditions and pay rolls for the enforcement of the mini mum wage law. She has been in Eugene this week inspecting the various places where women are employed. TUITION FEES INCREASED Tuition fees in the school of medicine of the University of Oregon have been increased from $150 a year to $180 a year through action taken by the board of regents. The board has authorized the University to charge a non-resident fee of $25 a term, making the total fee paid by a non-resident $240 a year. Thii will be effective October 1, 1923. 1 SUGARY SINKERS TO BE DISPENSED APPETITES WILL BE APPEASE! BY POPULAB PASTBY Theta Sigma Phi Will B&ise Funds tc Send Delegate to Convention in November Doughnuts all day tomorrow, five cents. Do you remember these luscious, sug , ar-powdercd doughnuts, with very small I holes and lots of doughnut around them which you bought on the campus last yenrf Tomorrow you’re going to have a chance to buy the “biggest and best” doughnuts ever produced. And it’s the only chance you’ll have this year. The doughnuts will be on sale all day in front of the library, and girls with baskets will patrol the campus, exchanging a doughnut for the nickle of any and all passersby. Senior girls are urged and expocted to bring the men of their choice to the library booth and give them a real treat. You know girls “the way to a man’s heart—” Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism fraternity, is putting on this sale to raise money for expenses which will be incurred in sending a girl to the national convention which will be held in November, probably at the Univer sity of Missouri or at Oklahoma. A doughnut sale is the particular method of earning money used by Theta Sigma Phi, and this year there is going to be only one. This is your one big opportunity to appease that long, lank, lost feeling experienced before eight, nine, ten and eleven o’clock, and again in the afternoon. ENROLLMENT INCREASED _18 PERCENT THIS YEAR Many Return to University to Complete Work for Degrees An increase of 1 5 per cent in the total enrollment in all deportments of tho University of Oregon this term over the fall session of last year is shown in a report of President P. L. Campbell to the University board of regeuts^Tho per rent of increase of full-time students in residence at Eugene is 8.3. At present the schools on the cam pus number 2181 students against 2012 the first form of last year. Indicating that many students nro coming to the University of Oregon to complete work for degrees, the enrollment figures show that there are more juniors and seniors enrolled this year than last year. The medical school at Portland has 194 students against 152 last year. The Intension Center enrollment in Port land is not complete as yet but runs to 1296 „to date with the expectation of reaching 1400 this term against 1125 last year. The correspondence study de partment has 1490 against 1160 last year. The total current enrollment in the University for credit for graduation is 5161 against 4449 tho first term of last year. Counting the 830 students enroll ed during the summer session and the new students entering during tho sec ond and third terms, the total enroll ment of students in degree courses for the current year will bo in excess of 6500. 9RCHESTRR HDDS 14 NEW PUTERS TO OLD PERSONNEL Underwood Has 33 Pieces in Music Organization; Is Pleased With Work TRYOUTS DRAW NEARLY 50 Small Group Is Selected to Furnish Music for Pro ductions at Guild Tryouts for the University orchestra were completed Monday evening and 14 new people have been added to the per sonnel of the orchestra. These, with 19 of last year’s organization make an orchestra of 33 pieces, which is larger than it has ever been at this time of year. Rex Underwood, director of the or chestra, is especially pleased with the spirit shown by all the members of the orchestra and commended the freshmen particularly for their earnestness and interest in the work. Mr. Underwood has found it difficult, too, to select the new members of the club because the musical material on tho campus is so much better than usual and there is more of it. Because of this, the tryouts consisted of individual playing and work with the orchestra at three or four rehearsals. New Members Now members of tho orchestra aro: First violins—Nina Warnock, Enter prise; Mary Burton, Eugene; second violins—Edna Rico, Los Angeles, Calif.; Wanda Eastwood, Eugene; cello—Katy Potter, Eugene; Irene Burton, Eugene; flute—Curtis Burton, Eugene; clarinet —Harold Gray, Prinovillo; trumpet— Davison Stivers, Eugene; Donald John son, Eugene; Harold Cummings, Eu gene; horn—Gerald Lawlor, Portland; trombone—Bart Kendall, Redmond; pi ano—Vincent Engledinger, Hillsboro. The Guild theater orchestra is a new feature of orchestra work on the cam pus and was organized by Mr. Under wood to take caro of tho orchostra over flow und in response to a demand for appropriate music for productions put on by tho University players. Eloven people from the University orchestra have been chosen to make up this group, and it will be in addition to their reg ular orchestra work. Tryouts for this orchestra are still boing held and more people will be added to it. Lois Parker, Eugene, and Kathleen McCord, Carlton, are to be pianists for tho orchostra. Be cause of the size of the theater 'pit the orchestra is to be divided into groups of six or seven. These will supply mus ic on alternate nights and in this way tho work wil bo more evenly divided, since most of tho plays run for three nights. 'Guild Orchestra Chosen Members of this orchestra are: First violins—Gwendolyn Lampshiro, Eu gene; Jane O’Reilly, Portland; Nina Warnock, Enterprise; second violins— Charlotte Nash, Portland; Helen Bchup pel, Portland; viola—Clairo Collete, Eu gene; cello—Katy Potter, Eugene; Irene Burton, Eugene; flute—Genevieve Phelps, Pendleton; clarinet'—Harold Gray; Prinovillo; horn—Gerald Lawler, (Contiaaed oa page two.) Borrowed Aggie Banner Brings Grief to Seven Sons of Oregon Wcven doughty sons of Oregon trav eled forth last Saturday to see the foot ball squabble. Their method of loco motion was one Henry Ford, 1904 mod el or earlier, sans top, windshield, and many of the accoutrements of a re spectable gas buggy. Regardless of the outer condition of the little tin rick shaw, the engine was percolating ill Bierce-Arrow order, and only the high spots were hit between Eugene and Cor vallis. At the outskirts of the Aggie strong hold, a sign announcing the game be tween Stanford and O. A. C., attracted the attention of the intrepid seven. Here was a mantle for Henry; it would cover up his nakedness. Forthwith one of the bold-bad crew purloined the flar ing bunting and draped it on Henry’s heaving flanks. Under forced draft, the good ship Henry sped through the enemy. Lo, on the other side of Corvallis floated an other sign, and the seven Fearless Ford sters copped it and rove it about the bow of the puffing speedster. But alas! A loyal Aggie perceived the dirty deed anil without stopping to argue or re trieve the banners, burned the highway to Albany and then notified the author ities of Corvallis, but tho seven mar auders had flown. Tho Aggie town scorched the wires all the way to Jefferson, and there tho bespectacled minion of the law halted the knights of gasoline in their wild ride. The copper listened to reason and on sped the seven with orders to report back after the game. With Portland a few leagues away, Henry snorted into Aurora, bucked, wheezed, groaned and stopped. The i doughty seven sniffed the breeze. Smoko smote their sense of smell—a beuring | had gone haywire. Henry was left to j cool and be repaired while tho sons of Oregon made their way to the game in various manners (not to be publish ed). When the hounds of speed hove in sight of Aurora, Henry was ready and waiting and Jefferson was made in noth ing flat. Ordered to report to C'arl Lodell, tho seven sped on to Corvallis, but were unable to see Lodell. While speeding about the town at a 40 mile clip, Hen ry was again feeling his oats. Tho sev en sons of Oregon still have the banners and are still looking for Lodell and won dering what sort of punishment the Ag : gie manager will mete out to them. l
