English Elections Surprise
Oregon Politics Bitter
Kaiser Is Married Today
Motors Kill Many in 1921
Turk Sultan Is Deposed
Italy Undergoes Change
With election but a day or tw(
away, politics in Oregon have assume!
a bitter, personal aspect. Both the
Democratic and Republican camps are
shaken by controversies as they nevei
were before. One outstanding feature
of the muddle is the prominent part
that religion is playing. The compul
sory school bill, the core of the trouble,
has stirred up strife wherever it is
mentioned, and has ruptured to some
extent both the leading parties. Ac
cording to all indications, however, it
seems that Pierce is steadily losing,
along with his education bill, while 01
cott, though arousing little enthusiasm,
is gaining. Bets so far are ten to
seven in favor of Olcott.

The political situation in England is
causing no end of surprises, and now
to top the climax of the stir created by
the resignation of Lloyd George, comes
the utter defeat of the Labor party.
Of this, the Morning Register says:
“London, Nov. 2.—Almost the entire
attention of the political world today
was absorbed in the surprising result
of the municipal elections, in which
labor suffered an overwhelming defeat.
The returns in 70 of the leading bor
oughs in the provinces show that out
of 574 labor candidates only 215, were
elected, while the conservatives elect
ed 350 of the 450 nominated.”
In London there has been a similar
landslide. Labor had 573 seats in the
old councils, but has only 253 in the
new. Labor now holds only four Lon
don borough councils, as against 12
councils formerly held, while in 11
London boroughs not one labor repre
sentative was returned.
A report of motor accidents in the
United States for the year 1921 has
just been announced, and it is some
what startling to know that the death
of 10,168 persons is due directly to
motor vehicles. In this, California
leads all states in the Union. A marked
increase in accidents over the year
1920 is shown in all sections of the
country.

Kaiser Wilhelm, formerly ruler of
Germany, is again before the public
eye. Today he weds Princess Hermine,
a noted Prussian beauty. Strange as
it may seem, his bride will take the
title of “Queen.” They will make
their home at Doom, Holland.
• • •
An event of great import to the
world is the deposition of the Sultan
of Turkey. This now means that in
name as well as in reality, 4he nation
alist regime, which really has had the
reins of government for some time
past, is now the ruling element of Tur
key. All negotiations will henceforth
be carried on from Angora, the Na
tionalists ’ capital. The Sultan is still
allowed to reign as the head of the
Moslems in a religious capacity only.
• • •
Italy, too, underwent a complete
change of government in what is
termed a bloodless, or almost bloodless,
revolution. Mussolini, the man of the
hour in Italy, at the head of the Fas
cists took over the government, with
the consent of the king, however. His
party, which is directly opposed to all
forms of soviet, now dominates in
every government department. The
new regime is already recognized by
European powers, and Italy is expect
ed to be greatly benefited by the
change.
HUSKY HENDRICKS TEAM
LOSES TO SIGMA CHI, 6-0
Great Battle Put Up in Sea of Mud; .
Girls Almost Score Near Finish
In defending his husky hockey team
concerning the defeat they suffered at
the hands of the Sigma Chi’s, Colonel;
Leader states that it was due to an
unfortunate error on the part of the
girls in mistaking the “use the clubs
on them” signal for “pass to the wing.”
Fierce fighting predominated through
out the game, proof for which was
shown in the frequent cries of the boys,
“Ouch!” and "Time out, man hurt!”(
The hardest fighting came near the j
end of the game when the girls had
the ball within two feet of the goal
line. The dramatic intensity of the
moment was pierced by the shrill whis
tle of Umpire Leader, announcing the
end jf the struggle with the final score
of <1 to 0. The fighting elevens crawled
out of the sea of mud, and the white
middies of the girls and Art Bose
braugh’s attractive track suit had lost
their well-laundered appearance.
STORY OF WOMAN'S
BUILDING IS TOLD
Years of Struggle for Building
Funds Depicted by Dean;
Ruth Guppy First Saw Need
MRS. GERLINGER PRAISED
Legislature Equalled Donation
of Generous Oregon People;
• $150,000 in Gifts Matched
By Dean Pox
In 1912 Miss Ruth Guppy came tc
the Oregon campus as Dean of Women
Shortly after her arrival, she saw the
need for a Vroinan’s building. The
women students rallied to her support,
and out of their work together came
the Women’s League as a permanent
organization.
Miss Guppy passed her vision on to
Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, a member of
the board of regents, and Mrs. Ger
linger became the leading and conspic
uous figure in the long, hard campaign
that followed. Her belief in the Ore
gon students and her devotion—untir
ing and ceaseless devotion—to their in
terests have endeared her to the hearts
of thousands.
Building Completed in 1921
In the early days, it was only the
pessimist who did not expect to see the
building full grown in brick and mor
tar within two or three years. In re
ality, the building was completed and
dedicated in May, 1921. The long road
from 1912 to 1921 carried us through
the dark days of the war, but never
once, in spite of difficulties too num
erous and too varied to mention, did
Mrs. Gerlinger lose heart and faith and
courage. She is a graduate of the
University of California and she was
familiar with the California spirit of
making large gifts to the State Uni
versity, so she sought large gifts for
Oregon. She called personally upon the
executive officers of great foundations
and wealthy men and women whose in
terest in education was known. Al
ways the first queston was, “What is
Oregon doing?”
Finally, Mrs. Gerlinger and Dr.
Campbell and a few loyal friends pre
sented the need of the Oregon students
so convincingly to the state legislature
that the legislature promised to meet
private gifts from the citizens of the
state, dollar for dollar, in $25,000 in
stallments up to an amount not to ex
ceed $150,000. It was a stupendous
task to raise $150,000 in gifts, but it
was done and many gifts in furnish
ings were made over and above this
amount, and the legislature made one
additional appropriation.
Gifts Tell Story
The story of how it was done can
be partially read in the columns of L.
H. Johnson’s ledger where gifts, small
and large, are faithfully recorded. The
undergraduates and the alumni and
women from other colleges assumed in
dividual and collective responsibility.
The women’s clubs in every corner of
the state, the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, the Parent-Teachers’
Associations, the Junior League of
Portland—these and many other or
ganizations contributed to the growing
fund. There were plays, and musi
cales, and lawn parties. There were
rummage sales and state-wide sales of
Woman’s Building postal cards and
Woman’s Building bricks. There were
milk bottles placed as containers to
catch the coin of the casual passer-by.
There were lecture courses given and
miniatures painted. There were Christ
mas balls and stunt parties and self
sacrifice gifts.
Among the gifts, there were some
large ones and many small ones, all of
them representing the love and loyalty
of the people of Oregon for their Uni
versity. In this respect, the Woman’s
Building “Fund Campaign” was in a
real sense of the word a forerunner of
the present state wide gift campaign.

“You want to interview me? All
right. Now, what do you want to
know?’’ This answer in perfectly
spoken English was received from Chi
Sung Fil native of Korea on the inter
viewer’s request if he might ask a few
questions.
“I was born in Pyng Yang, Korea,
in 1898,’’ he said. “On reaching
school age, I went to Seoul, the capital,
where I attended a Christian institu
tion. My father was one of the first
ministers of the Christian religion in
my country. All my life I have been
raised under the influence of that
faith.
“I love the United States,’’ he de
clared. “I shall devote my life to
aiding my countrymen and relieving
them from the oppression of the Jap
anese. ’ ’
Coming to America in 1918, he lived
first in California, later coming to
Oregon, where he attended Pacific Col
lege at Newberg for three years. While
there, he represented the institution two
years in oratorical contests.
‘ ‘ I love sports, I play baseball,
basketball, and other of your games. I
like baseball best. It is something like
a game we play in my country. It
has a Chinese name which means
stonethrow.
“There are two teams lined up about
a hundred yards apart. Each side tries
to make the other lose by driving them
over a line. We throw stones, made
round, which are about the size of a
baseball. ’ ’
Many of the men are badly hurt in
this game, he said.
“See how my nose is flattened here,’’
commanded Pil, pointing, his eyes
glinting humorously. “I was hit by
a big rock there, and was in the hospit
al for three weeks. We play the game
to train the eye and arm, and to de
velop courage. ’ ’
ROYAL DADMUN, BARITONE,
IS COMING NOVEMBER 14
Noted Impressario Interesting
Human Character
Royal Dadmun, the baritone, who is
coming to sing here November 14,
is not the stiff and staid opera impres
sario that some people may think in
seeing his picture and name set out in
large black type on the posters. He
is just human—so human, indeed, that
he makes election bets, and pays them,
too, on occasion when he loses, as he
did in the Wilson-Hughes election in
1916.
In that election Dadmun bet on
Hughes, promising that if Hughes
should lose, he would sing on the streets
of New York at one o’clock in the
morning and before the window of any
lady who should be chosen by his op
ponent. And there Dadmun made a
bad bet, for as our own Professor
(“Jimmy”) Gilbert says, “That was
the closest election this country had
seen in 20 years.” On the morning
after the “first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November,” Dadmun, who
was then traveling in the middle west,
wired his friend in New York an “I
told,-you-so-—get-re ady-to-pay-your-bet”
message, and his friend wired back,
“Just wait.”
Dadmun did wait. And after Wilson
had won, he wraited a long, long while
before he went back to New York. In
fact his friends who wanted to hear
him sing, nearly despaired of his ever
coming back. But there was no way
out, and Dadmun pays his honest
debts.
At one o’clock on a cold and stormy
evening, one of the world famous New
York police, rounding a corner on his
beat, beheld the strange sight of a
group of young men in evening clothes
standing in front of a bedroom of a
private house, and one of the young
men was singing.
The good officer had never heard of
singing burglars, but he did suspect
liquor.
“Move on, move on,” he ordered,
“or I’ll run you all in. It’s no time of
night for gentlemen to be standing
about people’s houses singing.”
“But an election bet, officer—” pro
tested Dadmun’s friends.
“Move on, I tell yau!” And they
moved.
38 SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED
University of Washington, Seattle,
Nov. 4—(P. I. N. S.)—The University
of Washington students now have 38
scholarships offered them each year
since the Frederick and Nelson fund
has been added to the list. One of the
Irederick and Nelson scholarships is
open to a boy; the other is open to a
girl. They carry a stipend of $250 for
each freshman and sophomore veer
and are awarded on the basis of schol
arship, personality and business ability.
The cthtr 36 scholarships cover prac
tically every course of instruction in
the University.
IS CKMPUS PUZZLE
• Pioneers” Is Offered Athletes
by Professor Thacher as
I the Most Appropriate Title
REAL NEED IS QUESTIONED
Some Hold Moniker Would Be
Detrimental in Keeping Uni
versity Before the Public
Would a nickname for the Oregon
teams be a good thing? Would such a
name be of benefit to the University?
Would the University lose anything by
substituting an acceptable nickname
for the name of the institution at
times?
Such is the question which was
raised on the campus about two weeks
ago by a letter from W. F. G. Thacher,
professor in the school of journalism,
proposing the name “Pioneers” for the
Oregon teams.
The Emerald has gathered the opin
ions of a number of prominent faculty
members and students on this question.
When asked for his opinion, Dean
Colin V. Dyment said:
“My stand on this question may be
stated briefly. I am in favor of hav
ing a nickname for the Oregon teams,
so long as it does not displace seri
ously the name of the University. I
reserve, however, that the approved
nickname must be dignified to a cer
tain degree, for I do not approve of
naming our Oregon teams after the
birds of the air, the beasts of the field,
the reptiles of the waters, nor the in
sects that crawl on the trees.”
Advocates No Change
Oregon’s our name, ami we would be
foolish to forfeit it, thinks Karl On
thank, secretary to the president. We
are an Oregon institution, the Univer
sity of Oregon, and thereby alone we
gain much.
“Yale is known as Yale, Harvard as
Harvard, and Princeton, and not as the
Bulldogs, and the Tigers, and what-not.
livery time a press dispatch goes over
the United States telling of the achieve
ments of the Oregon teams, so much is
gained. There is a great benefit from
the standpoint of public psychology in
keeping the name ‘Oregon’ before the
public.”
Some of the advocates of a nickname
for the teams contend that such a sou
briquet would merely supplement the
name of the institution and not dis
place it, but Onthank does not believe
that such a sport appellation would re
turn enough in value to make up for
the substituting for the name of the
University.
“The Portland papers,” said Leith
Abbott, general chairman of the Home
coming, “took for a while to calling us
‘The Yellow Peril,’ but it soon died a
natural death. Nicknames don’t seem
to stick to us, and until we find one
that arises among the student body,
spontaneously, I am in favor of re
taining ‘Oregon’ for all our uses.”
“I do not believe,” said Professor
Barnett, “that we have the right to
preempt solely the name ‘PioneerB,’ for
nearly every institution in the WeBt
has a right to such a name. I under
stand that the name ‘Webfeet’ has
been suggested, but I think that is a
little too derogatory of our climate.
As for thosM other names of animals,
birds and fishes, 1 think that they are
too undignified, and unworthy of asso
ciation with our name, Oregon.”
Colonel Leader seems to have ex
pressed the opinion of the majority of
the Oregon student body when he said,
in reply to a query of what he thought
of a nickname for the Oregon teams:
“I don’t know av annie nickname
for us; and anniway, Oregon’s our
name. It’s the best name there is,
and it’s far ‘Arregan’ I’ll yell always, I
at any time, and wherever I am.”
U. OF W. FROSH TESTED
Fictitious Answers Given to Questions
In English Comp Classes
University of Washington, Seattle,
Wash., Nov. 4—(P. I. N. 8.)—There is
very little about modern or ancient j
personages, places, or characters that
Washington’s freshmen do not know,;
as was revealed by answers to a ques- .

“Who was William George?” Why,
he is “Lloyd George’s little brother,”
ran one of the answers. Equally star
tling is the fact that Mustapha Kemal
Pasha is head of the Japanese navy;
“Oliver Twist” is a kind of tobacco,
and Mozart a brand of cigars. Other
samples of freshman intelligence are:
“Iago,” Japanese rice; “Sir Roger de

BUSY CO-OP ONCE
PAIR OF STORES
DESERTED BUILDINGS STOOD AT
CORNER OF HAYWARD
Association Began in Basement of the
Library; Later Moved to Campus
Barber Shop Building
How many of the ten or fifteen hum
I tired students who pass through the co-op
leach day know that the two little struct
j ures which form the main building were
standing as deserted grocery stores, three
years ago, at the far corner of Hayward
field t
Rack in the days of the “Fairmont
boom,' ’ when some real estate agent
pictured the Fairmont district as a future
rival do the city of Eugene, an ent r
prising young man had a one story, frame
structure erected at 10th and Agate
streets. On the high falso front he had
paiuted in bold lotters. General Mdse.’’
TL i world quickly wo -e tho weeds i mn
in front of this place of barter nnd soon
j 'notier youth, not quite so bold Imt ju«t
a- e. iuprising decided that he too mast
share in the great “Fairmont boom.’’
Tn a week another store with a high
board front came into being and the spicy
outlines of “Staple Groceries” loomed up
for all the neighborhood to see.
Then came the slump and within a few
months tho spiders were weaving their
webs over the broken places in the win
dows and the wind had torn the “G”
from the “General Mdse.” They only
needed a “haunt” to make their desola
tion complete.
Now we switch to another thread of the
story. Ten years ago H. M. Douglass1
sold books over the counter in the base
ment of the library. In 1916 this method
was abandoned and the University co
operative store was formed and the busi
ness conducted in the house recently sold
by A. ('. Reed, the photographer, to Dean
(Sanderson of the E. B. II. When the war
came on it was necessary to sell the co
op to pay the football debt, including
$3500 for Hugo Bezdek’s salary. The
business went to the Allen Drug company,
later the University Pharmacy.
In 1920 when the co-op was reorgan
ized the book trade was purchased from
H. Taylor, then owner of the University
Pharmacy, and it was found necessary
to find a building to house the enterprise.
Here is where the old grocery stores
come into the play. Marion F. McClain,
then graduate manager, had them brought
to the present co-op corner and in the
fall of 1920—the year that the present
Junior classmen were frosh—the Univer
sity Cooperative store was founded.
Although the enterprise started from
nothing, according to McClain, the first
year's business amounted to about $47,000
and last year the total business done was
about $60,000

Comeback Staged in Last Half
Brings Victory to Oregon;
1 Anderson Makes 80 Yards
FIRST HALF FAVORS 0. A. C.
! Contest Most Bitterly Fought
1 of Year; Babes” Punting
Average 10 Yards Higher
After being completely outplayed in
the first half, the Oregon frosh showed
a mighty reversal of form in the third
frame and emerged with a thrilling
6 to 0 victory over the Aggie rooks on
Hayward field yesterday afternoon.
Louie Anderson, stocky little quar
terback of Baz Williams’ crew, was
the shining light who made it possible
for the Lemon-yellow yearlings to gain
the touchdown which put them ahead
of their rivals in the most bitterly
fought contest seen on the campus this
year. Early in the third quarter An
derson turned the stands into a screech
ing mob when he received Snyder’s
punt on Oregon’s 20-yard line and
behind perfect interference Bquirmed
and twisted through the entire opposi
tion and ran 80 yards for a touchdown.
His attempt at goal failed.
Rooks Lead at Start
In the first half everything was in
favor of the Corvallis youths. The
rooks had the ball continually and five
times carried it to the frosh five-yard
line only to lose it on downs. An at
tempted place kick from Oregon’s 20
yard line in the first five minutes of
play was blocked by the frosh and
Oregon took the ball. The rooks in the
first half garnered 14 first downs to
three for the frosh, a total of 113
yards to 39. Price, Grider and Baker
wwre the principal ground gainers for
the rooks in this session.
The Oregon babes took a new lease
on life in the next half and brought
their total number of yards to 232, in
cluding 96 yards from scrimmage. The
backfield with the substitution of Hob
son began to work more smoothly. O.
A. C. kicked off to Hobson, who ran
the ball back 30 yards and would have
had a clear field before him had it not
been for the fact that one of the rook
backs had camouflaged himself in a
jersey of the frosh color and was taken
for an Oregon man, thus enabling him
to easily make the tackle. In the next
few plays the Oregon babes made their
third first down of the game, but were
soon forced to kick. The rooks failed
to, make yardage and then came the
sensational run which won the game.
This seemed to take the fight out of
Oac ” Hubbard’s boys, for they
failed to make first down a single time
during the second canto, making num
erous attempts at forward passing, all
nf which were spilled. A punting duel
between Anderson of the frosh and
Snyder of the rooks ensued with tho
Oregon man besting his rival by about
ten yards. Anderson averaged about
40 yards to his rival’s 33.
Rooks Again Menaced
The Oregon babes nearly scored an
other touchdown in this quarter when
Baker, rook safety, dropped one of
Anderson’s punts and the frosh fell on
it on the Aggie ten-yard line. The
rooks held at this juncture, however.
Tho frosh suffered considerably from

Do-nut Basketball Dope Upset
*********
Oregon Club Is Strong Bidder
Upsetting the dope is the favorite
pastime of the do nut basketball teams
this year, as practically every other
game last week came out differently
from what was expected. First the I'hi
Delts stepped out and handed the Fijis
an unexpected 19 to 14 trouncing, and
then in the same evening the Kappa
Delta Phi quintet made a warming up
game out of their meet with the Alpha
Taus, and left the floor on the long
end of a 21 to 12 score.
The Oregon Club with six wins and
no defeats is the only team that has
not been walloped in league A. They
have a real fast passing aggregation
anil coupled with the shooting of Mur
ry and Gunther will be hard for any
team to beat. They have been lucky
at that, though, for two of their games
were taken by two-point margins, and
they won from the Alpha Taus by only
three points.
Real Battle Looms
The other strong teams in League A
are the Kappa 8ig and 8. A. K. quin
tots. Both have dropped only one game
and their meet \^ll be a real battle.
The Kappa Sigs, champions for the
I last two years, started the season off
; badly by dropping their first game to
the Oregon Club, but now with the ad
dition of Miss as a guard, are going
t strong.
The Fijis before their defeat by the
Phi Dolts looked like the class of the
I teams this season, but now two of the
teams in League B.are ahead of them,
i as neither the Belts uor the Phi Delts
; have yet tasted defeat.
The Phi Delts arc all big men and
| will be hard for any of the other do
nut fives to stop. The Delta also have
■ a fast aggregation that shoots baskets
well, and have beaten most of the
strong contenders in their league.
The Kappa Theta Chi five also is
