T
JOY IN SERVICE
TO PUBLIC SEEN
BY DEAN MILLER
Provincialism Must Give Way
to Massive Program of Aid
to Humanity
PEOPLE HELD INSINCERE
Greater Oregon Plans Given
at Student Meeting; Gift
to Col. Leader Urged
“Human service is the greatest force
in the world for keeping men and wo
men happy, in procuring a long and
useful life and in ending that life with
satisfaction,” said Stephen I. Miller,
dean of the school of busness admin
istration at the University of Wash
ington, who addressed the assembly yes
terday in regard to the Student Friend
ship fund drive.
“Every hour in which we can render
service to our fellow beings somewhere
will bring a joy beyond all joy of mere
profit, while society, for its part, puts
a mark of distinct approval on the man
and woman who devote themselves to
public service.”
In speaking of the success of Amer
ican philantrophic plans in the Orient,
Dean Miller said, “An entire Pacific
coast movement is needed to even dent
that Oriental civilization. It must not
be from Oregon, from Washington,
from California but from all the north
western section. Men must get over
their puny provincialism, and grasp the
meaning of a larger loyalty, a larger
citizenship.
Large Program Needed
We must have a common interest and
create a massive program, the speaker
declared. “As long as individualism
and provincialism are so heavily devel
oped as they are now, it is practically
impossible to make a mass play.” It is
individualism versus loyalty which is
one of the greatest obstacles in the way
of human progress, the dean believes,
and there can be no real progress until
men forget this low-planned rivalry and
see a larger vision of service and use
fulness.
Another obstacle in modern civiliza
tion is the tendency of too many people
to substitute cleverness in the affairs
of life instead of sincerity, accordng
to Dean Miller, and those people who
have the finest line of talk and super
ficial chatter become leaders by the
very force of their pleasing personal
ities and their subtle ability to “play
the bluff.”
Industry Has Changed
A few years ago, railroad rebates
were frequent—that was cleverness; it
was necessary to pass laws prohibiting
the adulteration of food stuffs—clever
ness promoted this; cleverness, so-called
provoked the Sherman act. However,
in the last twenty-five years, American
industry has almost completely changed
from the stage of cleverness to the
stage of sincerity. An honest effort
is being made among employers to co
operate more closely with labor, to in
itiate codes of service into their busi
ness relations and thus to humanize
progress.
The idea of thinking in terms of
profit and financial returns keeps many
from the broader fields of social ser
vice, believes Dean Miller. They do
not realize that not money alone will
make a man powerful and renowned
or crown his life with a content, and
satisfaction that a larger vision will
give him.
Sincere Man Held Best -
“Give me the sincere man, the loyal
man, the man who thinks in terms of
public service,” said the Dean. “The
man of the future will not only be
scientifically trained but he will have
the ethical capacity of power necessary
to human problems. Mky you | stu
dents,” he concluded, “at the taxpay
ers’ expense, remove from your faces
the smiles not coupled with sincerity
and responsibility. May you think more
of the uplifting of men and women
than of the clothes you may wear or the
incomes you may receive. May you
know the joy of rendering to society
the work of loyalty and human ser
vice.”
Dean Miller spoke with a forceful
convincingness that won the immediate
attention and interest of the student
audience. His very attitude was rapt
and powerful and his eyes flashed with
the fervor of his subject. He is a
man whose vision goes beyond the
reaches of his own community; whose
ideals are those of service and human
itarianism and whose interests are those
of his fellowmen.

DURNO’S GRID MEN
SEEK STATE TITLE
FORMER OREGON HOOF STAR HAS
CHAMP FOOTBALL TEAM
Medford This Tear Defeats Ancient
Rival When Eddie’s Warriors
Trim Ashland Squad
Eddie Durno, ’21, forward on the
Varsity basketball team for three years,
and now coach of the Medford high
school football team, this year has turn
ed out one of the most successful grid
squads in the state interscholastic
group. Coach Durno’s team has not
been defeated this season.
Medford played its hardest game of
the season on Armistice day, Ashland
being the opposing team. For many
years Ashland has been Medford’s rival
in football and for some ten years the
Ashland gridders have taken the rep
resentatives of the Jackson county met
ropolis into camp, but this year Durno's
squad won.
The last game of the season was play
ed with Forest Grove high school, Med
ford winning 41 to 2.
Last week Medford challenged a
high school in the state to a post-season
game for the championship of Oregon.
So far this challenge has not been ac
cepted. The Corvallis high school is al
so out for state honors, and since this
team is coached by Speck Keane, for
mer O. A. C. man, if the two teams
should meet it will be the squad of an
Oregon man against that of an O. A. C.
man.
Durno, while attending the Univer
sity, was too light to take part in Var
sity football, but he is well versed in
the game.
MADAME D’AUfAREZ
ENTERTAINS AUDIENCE
Peruvian Singer Pleases With
Interesting Repertoire
Madame d ’Alvarez, contralto, sang
last night in the Woman’s building to
an audience that was spontaneously en
thusiastic, and completely charmed by
the beauty and color of her voice. Ma
dame d ’Alvarez is gracious, pleasing in
appearance, and the range, sureness and
power of her voice was delightful.
Her program consisted of four groups
of songs, some of which were sung in
English, others in French and Italian,
and the last group, with one exception
were Spanish songs, two of them being
from Carmen. For encores Madame
d'Alvarez gave an Irish and a Scotch
song, repeating at the completion of
the program Bizet's La Seguidillo from
Carmen.
Lois Maier, who accompanied Ma
dame d’Alvarez, played two numbers
for the third group of her program, “On
Wings of Song” (Mendelssohn-Liszt)
and “Capriccio in B minor" (Brahms),
with Percy Grainger’s arrangement of
an Irish folk tune for an encore.
Madame d’Alvarez gave the follow
ing program:
Group I-*The Mind of a Child, Beau
mont; Caro mio ben, Giordani; Danza,
Danza, Durantie. Group II—The Tryst,
Sibelius; The Butterfly Is in Love With
the Bose, Cox; Do Not Go My Love,
Hageman; Come to the Fair, Martin.
Group III—Psyche, Paladilhe; Beau
Soir, Debussy; Les papillons, Chausson;

STMT PRACTICE
FOR RID SEASON
Last Year’s Lettermen Report
Early; Hunk Latham Is
Again on Squad
CONFERENCE VERY STRONG
Barnstorming Trip to Be Taken
During Holidays; Rockhey
Back Next Term
Varsity basketball practice started
this week with a large turnout, among
which are six of last year’s lettermen
and Hunk Latham, who won his letter
two years ago at center and was con
sidered one of the best in that position
on the coast. The six lettermen who
responded to Coach Bohler’s first call
are Arvin Burnett, Don Zimmerman,
Eddie Edlund, Francis Altstock, Half
Couch, and Leo Goar. Haddon Rockhey,
who made his letter last season, will
be back next term to put in a bid for
one of the forward positions.
Besides the lettermen there are many
others that have been showing up well
in practice, including “Chappy” Chap
man, quarterback of the football team,
and Bill Spear, also a football player.
Several of last year’s freshman team
are turning out and will run some of
the letter men a close race for the
berths on the squad.
Will Barnstorm Christmas
A barnstorming trip is being planned
by Coach Bohler for" the Christmas hol
idays, on which the team will play ten
or twelve games, seven of which have
already been scheduled. The first of
these is against Silverton on December
27. Silverton has’Marc Latham, an Or
egon three-year letterman, playing for
them and will give the Lemon-Yellow
a hard game. Frank Almstar, guard
of last year’s frosh five, is also on the
Silverton quintet.
Other games of the trip are with In
dependence on December 28, McMin
ville December 29, and Newbrg Decem
ber 39, Astoria on January 4, Pacific
University January 5 and Multnomah
Club January 6. This will give the
men plenty of opportunity to show
what they have, and on the strength of
their playing in these games the team
will be selected.
Strong Teams in Conference
Although Oregon is especially lucky
in having many lettermen back, prac
tically all of the other colleges on the
coast are just as fortunate. Idaho,
which won the coast championship last
year, lost only one man. The Univer
sity of Washington team lost only two
men and the Oregon Aggies have their
entire squad back with the exception
of Stinson. California is expecting the
strongest team in years, so the dope
points to a hard season for the varsity
tos8ers.
Men Showing Class
The men who have been showing up
well in practice so far are Latham at
center, Zimmerman at forward, and
Burnett at guard. All of these men are
veterans and seem to have the call for
their jobs. Zimmerman in particular
has improved a great deal since last
year and is the cleverest shot on the
squad.
The men who will make the barn
storming trip are to be selected from
the candidates next week in order to
leave them free during examination
week. According to Coach Bohler, 12
or 15 of the men will make the trip in
order that he may pick those who will
play the games when the regular col
legiate season opens.

1 Election of Experienced
Cheer Leaders
Failure of students to recognize the
importance of the Varsity yell staff
has caused considerable agitation to
ward its complete re-organization. Yell
King Bosebraugh, assisted by Del Ober
teuffer and Claire Keeney, past yell
kings ,is formulating plans whereby
the staff in the future will be picked
not at random, but on the merit of past
experience.
“In the past,” said Oberteuffer, “the
position of yell king has been more or
less of a temporary affair. The yoll
leader was chosen regardless of oast
experience.”
System Used Elsewhere
This system of selecting the cheer
leaders is in vogue in most of the col
leges on the .oast. They build up
their staffs through experience. At
least one year on the yell staff is neces
sary before one can become a candi
date for the position of yell king.
“It is also our desire,” continued
the former yell king, “ to revive the
interest of tne student body in the pu
sh ion held by che yell leader. More
recognition should be given the posi
tion which is one of great responsibil
ity and high up iu the list of student
actvities.
“The »n«ir.nent presented at the
assembly yesterday, if passed, will put
the yell king on the student council
and will give him a Controlling voice in
the student affairs." r
Oberteuffer pointed out that the of-,
fice of yell king is more than a goat’s
job. The position of yell leader has
never been taken seriously by the stu
dents. Without a leader of recognized
ability the rooters of an institution
are invariably at sea when it comes to
concentrated rooting.
Response Was Poor
At the beginning of the football
season the response of the student body
to the call of Bosebraugh for candidates
was so miserable that drastic measures
had to be resorted to. Volumes of cred
it must be given the freshmen who turn
ed out for the staff. Freshmen, how
ever good they may be, are not desired
on the yell staff. They are not imbued
with the traditions of the school and
for that reason are not capable of the
positions of assistants to the yell king.
In the absence of upper classmen for
the positions of assistants it was neces
sary for Claire Keeney and Del Ober
teuffer, former yell kings to offer their
assistance to Bosebraugh for the re
mainder of the football season.
Next term will see a new system of
selecting the yell staff innovatd. A
canvas of the varous men’s organiza
tions is now being made with the idea
of getting men to try out for the yell
staff for the remainder of the year.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are
wanted for the tryouts. Men with
yell leading ability are especially de
sired.
Tryouts at Games
At tne nrst or second tiasKetoan
game of the season these aspirants will
be given a chance and from those try
ing out, yell king Rosebraugh will se
lect his two assistants for the remaind
er of the coliege year. From such a
system as this it will be possible to pick
a man, schooled in the traditions of
the institution and familiar with the
various yells, for the yell king next
fall. Also :t will be possible to select
assistants from tnose who tried out dur
ing the winter term.
This system assures the selection of
a yell king with a year or two of ex
perience behind him. Out of some 900
eligible men for the position of yell
king it will certainly be possible to get
enough asprants out to make th& se
lection of assistants interesting.
At most of the other ooUeges the po
sition of yell king is an honored one
The yell king usually ranks third is
the list of student body officers. Here
at Oregon he has no particular rank.
The various organizations are urged
to rout out any of their members whe
' possess the qualities of yell leaders.
NEW AMENDMENT
TO CONSTITUTION
PLAN TO PLACE YELL KINO ON
STUDENT COUNCIL
Addition of Cheer Leader Swells Mem
bership to 15; Vote Probably
Taken Next Week
At the student assembly in the Wo
man’s building yesterday an amend
ment was proposed to Article 4, Section
2 of the constitution of the Associated
Students of the University of Oregon,
providing for the addition of the name
of the yell leader to the names of those
on the student council. This will raise
the council’s membership from 14 to
15. The amendment proposed reads as
follows:
Section 2—Membership. The Student
council of the Associated Students shall
consist of 15 members. It shall be com
posed of the president, vice-president,
and secretary of the Associated Stu
dents, the editor of the Oregon Daily
Emerald, the president of the Women’s
League, the yell leader, three men and
two women from the senior class of
the following year, two men and one
woman from the junior class of the
following year, and one man from the
sophomore class of the following year.
The amendment is to be voted upon
not ibter than a week after the notice,
of it appears in the Emerald. The defi
nite date of the voting has not been
decided, but will probably be the last
of next week.
KNOCKOUT NUMBER OF
LEMMY DUE TOMORROW
Witticisms Feature Magazine;
On Sale Monday
"Knockout number” of Lemon Punch
declared by competent campus erities
as the best “Lemmy” ever issued, will
be out in all the glory of its bright or
ange cover some time Saturday. Al
though the magazine contains but 24
pages, the features are more numerous,
and snappier and cleverer than ever
before, it is understood.
The cover, painted by “Stu” Biles,
depicts a sombreroed senior, strumming
his guitar under the window of his fa
vorite senorita, and descending through
the air is a flower pot—a real “knock
out,” both from the point of view of
the reader, and the unfortunate seren
ades
Francis Linklater, recently elected
to Hammer and Coffin, has produced
an abundance of witticism that goes
far toward completing the knock-out
effect, and the regular members of the
staff, Doc Braddock, editor; Ted Os
burne, associate editor; Gus Evans,
Kelly Branstetter, Ernest Haycox, and
others have made their usual high qual
ity contributions. -t
Art contributions are far above stan
dard, and include work by Stu Biles,
art editor, Bee Morrow, Claude Snow,
and others. Pen work and illustra
tions are interspersed throughout the
entire publication.
cnmtmas Reminders Suggested
Copies of this number of “Lemmy”
can be obtained at the Co-op ready
wrapped for mailing next Monday, and
it is suggested that students send them
to friends as Christmas reminders.
Oregon Knights, under Jimmie Meek,
have been appointed as official sales
men for the Lemon Punch, and will sell
this issue on the campus to all who
have not subscribed.
Lemon Punch also announces with
the issue four additions to the staff,
Francis Linklnter, assistant on the edi
torial staff, George Godfrey, national
advertising manager, Kenneth Moore,
circulation manager, and Kuut Diger
ness, associate advertising manager.
These men were all recently elected to
Hammer and Coffin society, which pub
lishs Lemon Punch, and several other
coast humorous magazines. Milton
Brown, formerly circulation manager,
is now associate manager.
In order to increase the subscrip
tion list of Lemmy, a campus-wide sub
scription drive is to take place on the
campus immediately after the opening
of school next term. A special price
of $1 for the remaining five issues will
be offered.
The entire staff is already ^t work or
the next number of Lemon Punch, the
“anniversary number,” which will be
issued early in February. It will be the
largest comic ever published in the Uni
versity, and will contain unlimited nov'
el features and surprises.

Who Play U. S. C.
Tlie University of West Virginia,
one of the strongest football teams in
the Hast this year, has asked the Uni
versity of Oregon for a football game
to be played at San Diego on Christmas
day, according to reports from Port
land. If members of the conference,
who meet at Portland today will sanc
tion such a game, it will no doubt be
played.
The first indication that such a con
test might be scheduled came yesterday
evening when Professor Howe, who is
Oregon's delegate at the conference
phoned from Portland to find out if the
faculty would sanction such a contest.
West Virginia is one of the unde
feated teams of the East this year,
and has won from both Pittsburg and
Harvard. Pittsburg is the team which
plays Stanford on New Year’s day.
If the game does materialise Oregon
will be playing a stronger eastern team
than either U. S. C. or Stanford, as
West Virginia won from Pittsburg,
which in turn walloped Penn State.
This would seem to indicate that Ore
gon will either have her hands full in
walloping the Virginians, or else east
ern football is not as good as that play
ed on the coast.
The final decision on the game will
be* made at the Pacific Coast confer
ence meet in Portland today, and will
be known sometime this afternoon.
