NUMBER 51
DEBATERS NEARLY
READY TO TACKLE
QIC. ON MONDAY
Establishment of Industrial
Court Is Question to Be
Argued at Guild Hall
WOMEN TO HOLD TRYOUTS
Girls to Meet More Teams
of Larger Pacific
Coast Colleges
The first varsity debate of the year
will be held with O. A. C. Monday eve
ning, December 11, at eight o ’cloek
in Guild hall. The question for debate
is of very live interest and is a direct
outgrowth of the industrial disturb
ances caused by the railroad and coal
strikes last summer, according to Paul
Patterson, forensic manager of men’s
debate. The question is “Resolved:
that a Federal court with power to en
force its decisions should be establish
ed for the adjudication of industrial
disputes.”
“Oregon Agricultural College looks
upon this debate as an important con
test with the University and the stu
dents are turning out in large numbers
for it,” said Patterson. “Our affirm
ative team has been greatly handi
capped this year owing to the with
drawal from school of Claude Robinson.
A new man had to be drilled in the
last three weeks before the contest, and
consequently the team will need all the
student cooperation it can get to break
even in the contest.”
25 Minutes Allowed
Ted Rice will be first speaker for the
affirmative, and Charles Lamb second.
Speakers for the negative will be Ralph
Bailey first and Boyd Isemenger sec
ond. Each speaker will be allowed
twentv minutes for constructive argu
ments and five minutes each for rebut
tal, concluding the entire debate by
10 o’clock. The students are urged by
Patterson to arrange their affairs so
they can attend the debate.
Judges for the debate are Clement
Akerman, head of the department of
economics, Reed College, Charles Le
non, a Portland attorney and Pres
ident Riley of Linfield College.
Women to Try Out
Women’s varsity debate tryouts will
be held in room 4 Commerce building,
Friday, December 15, according to Ed
na Largent, forensic manager for wo
men’s debate.
All women, desiring to try out for
varsity debate, must try out at this
time because this will absolutely be the
last and only opportunity for women’s
tryouts this year, Miss Largent said.
This question for tryout will be “Re
solved: that the United States should
cancel all allied war debts with the ex
ception of those of Great Britain.”
The question is the same as that used
in do-nut debate, and for this reason
a large tryout is expected. Work will
begin immediately after tryouts are
made. All girls trying out will work
together on questions and the teams
will be chosen by coach C. D. Thorpe.
Even after the choice is made every
one will work as alternatives in helping
the people on the team.
Veterans Are Back
Varsity material returned to the Uni
versity this year, includes Lurline Coul
ter, Edna Largent, and Mae Fenno.
These people may not be chosen in the
final tryout, according to Professor
Thorpe.
“The people trying out thi3 year need
not think they are getting in on some
dry quesions which have no common
interest,” Miss Largent stated. “Be
cause the questions will be carefully
chosen on points of present day inter
est.”
In previous years Oregon has only
met O. A. C. and Washington but this
year the University is broadening out
and taking in other representative col
leges of the Pacific coast including Cal
ifornia. This will be the hardest year
the varsity has ever experienced, Miss
Largent believes, because it has a heav
ier program than ever.
The first debate will be held with
O. A. C. in April. The date to meet
Washington has not been decided.
California and Oregon will debate here
May 2. The California debate will be
carried out by a three woman team.
Three girls will be sent here this year
and we will send three there next year.
Only one representative team will de
bate.
METCALF PASSES CIGARS
The engagement of Myrtle Anslow
and Hesden Metcalf was made known
last night at Friendly hall when cigars
were passed. Miss Anslow is a grad
uate of Franklin high school and at
present is engaged in work in Port
land. Mr. Metcalf is well known on
the campus. He was president of last
year's freshman class.

A manifestation of the spirit of the

for the sophomore hop Friday night
in the new armory.
Black and white will be effectively

costumes will furnish the best of music,
according to those in charge. This or

will be decked up to match the general
color scheme, and so situated that the
music will reach the entire crowd.
The special feature—“Well that is
a secret right now,” says Ed Tapfer,
but he adds it will be entirely differ

“Forget exams and other worries, for
we want the entire student body to

is the word sent out by those in charge.
Furthermore members of the sopho

PATTERSON AN
COMMITTEE
Plans for Year Are Outlined by
Head of Work
Announcing the appointment of the
Greater Oregon committee for the com
ing year, Paul Patterson, chairman of
the group, outlined the plans for the
organized work of the new committee.
“The committee will not be as large
in the future, as it has been in the
past,” said Patterson, “as it has been
too cumbersome to accomplish effective
work. There will be a large number of
important towns left off the list but it
is to be understood that this is not in
tended as a slight to any community
since these towns will come under the
jurisdiction of other towns. The chair
men named will be responsible for
reaching the smaller communities and
high schools around their own cities.”
“The plans are,” Patterson went on,
“to reach as many high school seniors
during the Christmas holidays as will
be possible. The alumni are asked to
cooperate in the work of the commit
tee, and the workers will feel free to
call upon them at any time.’.’
Discussing the possibilities for meet
ing the seniors, Patterson announced
as some of the plans, an Oregon assem
bly at each high school, the publish
ing of a portion of the high school
paper as an Oregon section, a dance for
proposed students and alumni, and last,
a meeting of the senior classes with
the committeemen and alumni at which
Oregon will be “talked up.”
The object of the work will not be
to obtain great numbers of students,
but to obtain a good quality of stu
dents, said the chairman.
A meeting of the committee is called
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock in
Dean Straub’s office. Every member
is requested to be present, says Patter
son. Those composing the committee
are:

League A Championship May
Hang in Balance Because
of Three-Cornered Tie
Two semi-finals, played last night, de
cided the championship of one do-nut
league and helped decide the honors
in the second league. League B semi
finalists, consisting of Phi Delta Theta,
Delta Tau and Phi Gamma Delta, have
played their three game schedule, with
the result that the Fijis are the league
champions, having won two of the
three contests. They gave the Delts
their second semifinal defeat last night
25-11, and had previously beaten the
Phi Delts.
In the other contest the Oregon Club
gained another chance at the league
championship by defeating the Sigma
Nu quintet, 21 to 17. This complicates
the standing of league A, as the Oregon
Club has been beaten by the Kappa
Sigs, the third contestant of that lea
gue in the semifinals. One game to be
played in the league, between the Kap
pa Sigs and the Sigma Nus. If the Kap
pa Sigs are victorious in this game they
will represent the league in the finals.
Three May Tie
If, however, the Sigma Nus should
win, a three-cornered tie will result and
another series of three games will be
played. This contest comes Thursday,
Decsmber 7, and a victory for the Kap
pa Sigs means that the finals will be
played the following week.
The plan for the playing off of the
finals favored by Coach Boliler is a one
game contest between the winners in
each of the two leagues. The date for
this contest has been tentatively set
for next Tuesday, December 12. There
is a possibility that a three game ser
ies will be played to decide the intra
mural championship.
Kappa Sigs Have Cups
The Kappa Sigs have a special inter
est in the championship contest this
year, as they at present hold the two
cups offered by Bill Hayward and the
Spaulding Athletic Goods company.
Each of these cups is given yearly to
the champion interfraternity basket
ball team, and the house which wins
either cup three times is entitled to per
manent possession. The Kappa Sigs
have won both cups two times and will
make a strong attempt to annex them
permanently.
The Fiji-Delt game aroused a large
amount of enthusiasm on the part of
spectators last night, as the contest was
hard fought and action was fast
throughout the game. The Fijis show
ed in this game that they will make a

FOUR SUFFER INJURIES
WHEN CAR OVERTURNS
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hayward, Dick Ar
thur and Mildred Burke Are Hurt
in Seattle Auto Accident
Mrs. Bill Hayward received a broken
collar bone and other injuries, several
of Bill Hayward’s vertebrae were pull
ed out of place, Dick Arthur, of Seattle,
suffered an injured hip and leg, and
Mildred Burke, a sophomore in the
school of journalism, suffered a frac
tured arm, when the automobile in
which they were riding overturned on
the highway about five miles out of
Everett, Washington, last Friday morn
ing. Others in the car were Mabs
Breekon and Lois Pixley, both students
at the University, who escaped with
slight injuries.
The car, owned and driven by Dick
Arthur, was traveling between twenty
five and thirty miles an hour when it
was crowded off the road by a large
touring car traveling at high speed.
The car carrying the Oregon people was
turned completely over, and the other
car went on without stopping. The
girls were the first out of the wrecked
car, leaving Bill Hayward and Dick
Arthur pinned under. Hayward soon
came to himself and got up, and brac
ed his back against the car and got
out. The girls, with the aid of Bill,
then lifted the car from Arthur, who
was being choked by a rod across his
! neck.
The Oregon people had gone to Seat
tle to see the Oreeon-Washington foot
hill game Thanksgiving and had plan
ned to go farther north before re
turning to Eugene.
HID FOR EUROPEAN
STUDENTS TO BE
ASKED TOMORROW
i Campus to Be Solicited for
Subscriptions to Fund
on One Day Only
ZIMMERMAN IS DIRECTOR
Herbert Hoover Lauds Purpose
of Relief Worker to Succor
Needy Foreign Youths
“From student to student” is the
motto of the campus campaign for the
European Student Relief fund, which
will be held tomorrow under the direc
tion of a general student committee,
headed by Don Zimmerman.
Following the precedent set by the
Red Cross workers the solicitors for
the Friendship fund will take only one
day for the task. Booths will be placed
in front of the library, an appeal will
be presented at assembly, and dinner
talks will be made at the campus or
ganization tables in the evening.
Committee in Charge
Those who have been named by the
student body executives to carry out
the Friendship Day activities are Don
Zimmerman, chairman, John Palmer,
Helen McCormick, Mary Alexander,
Francis Altstock, Ellen McVeigh and
Art Rudd.
The situation among European stu
dents is such a serious one that action
by American college folks is impera
tive, according to a bulletin issued from
the New York headquarters.
The situation is stated by David P.
Barrows of Berkeley, California, who
lias recently returned from a trip to
Europe.
Barrows Cites Need
“In the university centers of central
and eastern Europe,” he says, “there
is a large proportion of students whose
situation is deplorable, considerable
numbers having been banished from
their native countries because of revo
lution. American sympathy must go
out to those young people who are fight
ing for an education, and the core of
this sympathy should be in our own
universities and among our American
student bodies.”
No regular campaign was staged at
Oregon last year, but the money which
was raised privately, with that which
other coast educational institutions con
tributed, did a great work in keeping
many European students in school, ac
cording to statements by Herbert Hoov
er, Frank A. Vanderlip and Wm. N.
Haskell, director of the American Fam
ine Relief in Russia.
Hoover Praises Workers
Mr. Hoover says, “I find that your
committees are doing wonderful work
among students of European univer
sities by encouraging self-help and en
abling students to get along when there
is no opportunity for them to help
themselves.
Literature on the drive will be circu
lated today under the direction of Fran
cis Altsock and students are request
ed bv the committee to read it in or

HINDU SUICIDE
WAS AT OREGON
DEAN STRAUB RECALLS THAI
LAD WAS OFTEN GLOOMY
Jilider Dhillon, Who Took Poison at
Marysville, Cal., Left Here
More Than a Year Ago
■Tinder Dhillon, Hindu, wfio commit
ted suicide December 1 at Marysville,
California, by eating a bar of choco
late containing enough opium to kill
ten persons, was a University student
here in the fall of 1921.
According to Dean Straub, Dhillon
dropped out of the University about
Thanksgiving time. He said lie met
the Hindu on the street, and noticing
that he did not have on a green cap,
stopped him and inquired the reason.
“I am lonesome; I have no friends,”
the boy answered.
Dean Straub then took him to Mr.
Veatch of the Y. M., who had him re
registered. Later he had Dhillon over
to his home for dinner, and the boy
seemed in a much better mood.
Since last June, Dhillon had been em
ployed in a fruit orchard in Marysville.
He wrote to Dean Straub twice regard
ing his return to Oregon. His first
letter arrived several weeks after the
opening of the University and he was
advised by the Dean to wait until Jan-j
uary before entering.
After taking the poison he sat down
and wrote a number of strange notes,
mostly in Hindu.
His father is a retired Hindu officer
in the English army. He had a rich
uncle in California who was sending
him to college.
PHI GAMMA DELTII WINS
FINAL DEBATE HONORS
Susan Gampbell Hall Defeated
By Score of Seven to One
Phi Gamma Delta won the do nut de
bate championship for both men’s and
women’s organizations on the campus,
in a hotly contested tussle with the
Susan Campbell hall teams last night.
The tota^of the Fiji score was seven
points, while that of Susan Campboll
was but one. The Fiji affirmative
team won by a score of two to one, and
the negative team by a score of three
to one. Two points must be added ac
cording to the counting of debate
scores, one for each victory of Phi
Gamma Delta, thus bringing the total
score of the Fijis to seven points.
A fact which was greatly to the cred
it of the Susan Campbell teams was
that the negative team of Susan Camp
bell hall, up to last night’s debate had
not only never lost a debate, but had
never even dropped a point to their
oponents. The members of this team
are Frances Simpson and Julia Ray
mond. The members of the Susan
Campbell affirmative team are Mildred
Whitcomb and Frances Ward.
The members of the Fiji affirmative
team are Art Rudd and James King,
and of the Fiji negative are Ted Baker
and Jack Schumacher. Auditors of the
debates last night declare that the
men’s teams improved greatly since
the dual finals a week ago.
By the winning of the championship
last night Phi Gamma Delta gains pos
session for the coming year of the Tau
Kappa Alpha cup, offered by the men’s
national honorary fraternity to the win
ning do-nut team. The cup stands
about a foot high, and on its silvery
surface is engraved the name of the
organization which won it, together
with the year in which it was won.
In addition to gaining possession of
this cup, Phi Gamma Delta won the
men’s do-nut debate shield offered by
the forensic council. The Fijis won this
shield three times, and it now becomes
their possession according to the rul
ing of the council.
Much credit is due, according to
those who have witnessed the do-nut
series from start to finish, to Lurline
Coulter, president of Zeta Kappa Psi,
women’s honorary debate fraternity,
and Paul Patterson, manager of men’s
for executive work, in the manner in
debate, who have exhibited much talent
which they directed the contest.
MYSTICISM LECTURE TOPIC
Talk Given by Tat tier Bede Bose Be
fore Newman Club Tuesday
A review of the history of mysti
cism in the Catholic church from the
earliest times to the present, was the
| theme of an interesting lecture given
! by Father Bede Rose of Mt. Angel to
members of Newman club and their
guests last evening. Father Bede, who
is a professor of the classics at Mt.
Angel college, has made a special study
in the field of mysticism from Catholic
and secular viewpoints and is well vers
ed in the works of the writers of mys
ticism of all ages.
“There is in the human soul a nat
ural desire for truth and knowledge,”
said Father Bede, “and this craving is
never fully satisfied in this life. The
mind of man tends always, therefore,
to reach toward the higher life. There
is always a gasping for something be
yond."

Howe Will Go Tomorrow;
Important Issues Up
Corvallis, Ore., Dec. 5— (Special to
Emerald)—University of Southern
California will represent the West in
the game at Pasadena New Year’s
Day. All members in the Pacific Coast
Conference with the exception of Or
egon voted for the Trojans, according
to an announcement made known late
this afternoon by Dr. U. O. Dubach,
president of the Conference and the
O. A. C. representative. The vote
was taken by mail.
The University of Idaho represent
ative in casting his vote stated that
it was his desire that the best team
on the Coast should meet the eastern
ers and made it known it was his be
lief that the U. S. C. Trojans had
earned the right to represent the
West.
The Trojans have one defeat chalk
ed up against them this year, the Cal
ifornia Bears having taken them into
their den by a 12-0 score, while Ore
gon had passed through the confer
ence undefeated.
Delegates to Meet
Jack Benefiel, graduate manager and
Professor H. C. Howe, Oregon’s ath
letic manager, will attend a meeting of
the Pacific Coast conference and the
Northwest conference on Friday and
Saturday in Seattle. Benefiel, who left
last night, will convene with the Man
ager’s association, and Professor Howe,
who will leave Thursday, will represent
Oregon in the conference meeting. The
Managers’ association is composed of
the graduate managers of the member
schools, who will arrange the football
schedules and game contracts for the
coming year. The conference proper,
composed of faculty members of the
eight institutions, who must be regu
lar instructors not in the department
of athletics, and chairmen of the fac
ulty athletic committees, will discuss
rules, eligibility, etc.
Some of the things which will likely
be discussed are the definitions of the
now-existant conference rules, and the
eligibility of Kline, University of Ida
ho stellar player. For seven years
members of the conference have been
trying to get the rules defined so that
there would be no misunderstanding as
to the ways which they might be in
terpreted. Two years ago at a con
ference meeting, the rules were entire
ly revised, and last summer, Professor
L. Ayer of the University of Washing
ton, as the result of this, prepared a
codification which was accepted after
some hasty revisions. Part of the con
ference time will be spent in reviewing
this.
iuine uase Slated
Kline, tho Idaho man, was put out
of a seasonal participation last year be
cause as a freshman he played five min
utes in the game against Utah. Idaho
will enter a plea in this case, that Kline
played in the game against his own
wishes and that of the faculty; that
he had gone to the game only with the
intention of being a spectator, but then
was played in the game by ex-coach
Kelly of that institution.
Because Stanford and California both
send their track teams East, thus dis
rupting the track schedules of particu
larly the northern members of that con
ference, the Northwest conference was
organized by Oregon, Washington, Wash
ington State, O. A. C., Idaho, Montana,
Whitman and Willamette. The admis
sion of Pacific University to this group
will be considered at the Northwest
conference meeting on Friday after
noon.
