Who’s Got the Joker?
Well, once again we’ve given “Shy” Huntington a half-hearted
purchase on the 1923 football season by rendering him a one year
contract.
Whatever the merits of Charles Huntington may be, and what
ever his status on this campus is—good or bad—it is distinctly a
lack-lustre policy to continue giving him a year by year contract. If
we don’t want him, let’s say so and get another coach; if wm want
him let’s be courageous enough to do the right and square thing by
him and give him a three year job. Either he’s earned it or he hasn’t.
No man can evolve a football strategy of his own in one season
or two. California nearly broke Andy Smith’s heart by razzberrying
him during the Bear’s poor seasons, and it got so that he was too
miserable to cross the campus in daylight, preferring his own com
pany rather than additional obuse. But by his contract he had the
power to keep trying, trying his own style of football, through all
the adverse storms of the critics until last year. Now who calls Andy
Smith a poor football coach 1
If we have any faith in “Shy” we should have demonstrated it
in the practical way. As matters stand now we have as much as
said, “Well, you did fair enough, but nevertheless we don’t trust
you sufficiently to tie ourselves three years. Do the best you can,
but remember we have the joker up our own sleeve.”
Not an encouraging thing for a coach to remember, is it?
And not the best of sportsmanship and spirit on our own part.
Feed the birds. Crumbs of bread or pieces of suet, or apple par
ings, or anything that will sustain the flicker of life in their graceful
bodies over the wdnter. Now is the time we begin to find pitiful
witnesses of a brave but inadequate struggle against the snow and
wind as we stumble across the stiff, draggled feathered friends of
ours on the ground. Feed them; it’s not such a great task.
The funniest thing we have seen this week: One pair of side
burns creeping, snake-like, down a pair of cringing, hypnotised
ears.
Endow the University!
By R. E. O.
Every large Eastern and Middle 'Wes
tern university and college of the num
ber visited by President P. L. Camp
bell of the University of Oregon, and
Campbell Church of Eugene, who re
turned here after a month’s trip in
the East, have just completed big cam
paigns for funds or are in the midst of
such campaigns. President Campbell
and Mr. Church studied the campaign
plans of each institution in order that
the Oregon effort for private endow
ments may meet with fullest success.
“The alumni and other friends of
those institutions acquainted with the
urgent need of added resources in the
ease of each institution, have been lib
rai in their support.” said President
Campbell. “In ten days, $5,250,000 was
raised ia the city of Buffalo, which lias
a population of 500,000, for the support
of Buffalo University. Vale obtains
$100,000 a year from its alumni alone.
Three years ago Harvard launched a
five-year campaign for $20,000,000.
Two thirds has already been raised.
“Recently a prominent New York
lawyer left $6,000,000 to Yale. During
his life time this man was influential,
in obtaining many large gifts for his
alma mater. Massachusetts Institute
of Technology recently obtained $S,
000,000 in private gifts. All forces in
the communities seem to be alive to the
needs of educational institutions. At
Minnesota for example, students and
faculty made a remarkable shewing in
a campaign for funds. They subscrib
ed $660,000 toward a combined audit i
orium and stadium.”
Private gifts have seemed to be larg
est in those states that were doing most
for their institutions. It was found,
for example, that the appropriation for
the University of Michigan for the last
biennium was $14,000,000. Private don
ors augmented this fund from private
taxes by making liberal gifts. There
was oue individual gift recently of $4,
0000,000.
A great many influential and weal
thy men of America are uatiouallv
minded ill their point of view, accord
ing to President Campbell.
“These men believe that there is no!
better way of salvaging civilization, to
use an expression of it. (!. Wells, than
to give their utmost support to edu
cation, and the real salvation of edu
cation is in liberal financial help,” said
President Campbell.
He was told that some of those don
ors had actually made surveys of the
leading institutions in America to de
termine what college could best and
most effectively make use of the gifts.
While the Oregon men were in the
East, they attended on the campus of
Cornell University, a convention of the
Eastern division of the Univesity
Comptrollers. These men were consid
ering the best methods of utilizing gifts
made to their respective institutions so
that the moneys might be utilized most
effectively.
President Campbell visited the offi
cers of eight or 10 national foundations
One of these organizations asked him
to submit a plan on the basis of how
funds could be most effectively extend
ed. He found the foundations all ex
tremely cordial and interested in Ore
gon and in the state university, and
looking for ways in which they might
cooperate.
1 The general education board was
greatly gratilied with the progress of
I he l!diversity Medical school and is
watching the future of the school.
"We are hoping that thore may bo
a willingness on the part of the general
education board to cooperate further
with the state,” said President Camp
bell.
While in the East the Oregon men
visited Presidents Lowell of Harvard,
Butler of Columbia, Capen of Buffalo,
Parrand of Corntll, Burton of Mieliigan,
Angel of \ale. Bilge of Wisconsin, and
t'oftman of Minnesota, and acting Pres
ident Talbott of Massachusetts’ School
of Technology.

spective organizations are asked to

Theatres
BEX
Continuing a policy of many years I
standing, semi-annual Rex Replay j
Week, during which six of the best
pictures shown within the past half
year are to be brought back, each for
one day's showing, is to be the, vogue!
starting Monday at that theater.
The pictures selected, and which will j
be shown in the order given, starting
Monday, are: Norma Talmadge in her
pieturization of the Allen Langdon
Martin play, “Smilin’ Through;” Mark
Twain’s unrivalled satire, “A Connecti
cut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court;”
D. W. Griffith’s master play, “Dream
Street,” based on the characters of
Thomas Burke’s London limehouse dra
matic comedy stories; Mary Pickford
in Eleanor IT. Porter’s “Pollyanna;”
Douglas Fairbanks in “The Mollycod
dle,” and a Rex “Surprise Program”
which will complete the eventful week.
Thematic introductions presenting
Charles W. Ilawley at the Rex Wurlit
-zer, organ settings, feature comedies
and short subjects have been booked to
round out each program, advises the
management.
HEILIG
Kolb and Dill come to the Heilig the
ater for an engagement of one night
only, Monday ,December 18, when they
will present Aaron Hoffman’s latest
success, “Now and Then,” a story of
this land before Volstead’s law became
effective and of the days when boot
leggers rule and ruin. Kolb and Dill’s
special orchestra accompanies the unus
ually clever company they are offering
this season. Apparently the author
of ‘Now and Then’ endeavored to cram
the three acts full of uproarious laugh
ter and, according to dramatic critics
who have reviewed the show, he suc
ceeded admirably.
CASTLE
Robert Louis Stevenson’s well-known
story, “Ebb Tide,” had no love interest,
but there is plenty of that quality in
the screen adaptation by Paramount, a
George Melford product which is to be
presented at the Castle theater on
Thursday for a week-end run. The pic
ture adaptation is a thriller, with its
peculiar characters and strange adven
tures. The story tells of a man’s he
roic flight for regeneration after he
is apparently down and out. With Mr.
Kirkwood and Miss Lee are George
Fawcett, Nosh Beery, Robert Hatton
and Jacqueline Logan, making an all
star cast.

The Stafford method depends ''upon
an entirely new principle. Before Pro
fessor Stafford began his experiments,
the wood used in carbonization work
has always contained moisture. Pro
fessor Stafford experimented with per
fectly dry wood. He found that when
the dry wood is heated undef his pro
cess to the temperature at which the
charring begins the carbonization went
along to completion without further
application of heat from outside sour
ces. This is referred to by chemists as
an exothermic process.
Professor Stafford is a graduate of
the University of Kansas. He joined
the faculty of the University of Ore
gon chemistry department in 1900 and
two years later was made head of the
department.

EXAMINATIONS SLAUGHTER MANY
Hours of Slumber
Extensive preparations for coming struggle reported in faculty
camp. Student forces still unprepared for coming collision.
Faculty plan captured and printed.
The big battle of the }'ear seems to be
threatening the peaceful hamlet of Eu
gene. The war cloud grows darker
and more threatening as it accumulates
mass on the horizon. Just what will
happen when it bursts forth with all
its fury is beyond all powers of local
prophesy.
It is generally considered by local
authorities that the landscape will take
on the same general aspect, however.
Such storms have been weathered be
fore, they say. Of course many of the
(familiar faces will not be with us for
the rest of the year but the present
state of civilization will beyond doubt
continue on as it has since the early
days which Dean Straub was a neo
phyte.
Extensive preparations are being
made in the faculty camp, it is re
ported, for the leading attack. Beyond
doubt the struggle will be pushed by
this faction as a complete plan of at
tack was published in the official stu
dent organ, The Emerald, the other
day. It was claimed that this docu
ment came originally from the enemy
headquarters and was offered as a
warning to the student population that
danger lay ahead and that prepara
tions for protection should be made.
Up to press time no activity of a
defensive nature was detected in the
ranks of the younger generation.
One organization, however, that has
always been noted for its forwardness
and progressiveness has made ready
for any contingency by putting itself
in order to receive any soldier of the
student rank who may need aid, re
freshments or retirement from the field
of battle. It is OBAK’S of course.
Open all the time it will always be
ready with its famous service to serve
the famished fighters with food of
unsurpassed quality at a price they can
easily afford to meet. It will continue
to serve the very best of everything
from water to roast beef.
It will open up its pool and recrea
tion rooms to the weary and will af-'
ford them ample chance to refresh
their tired brains for more action when
] they again take up pen, pencil and
blue book against the hords of Ph.D.’s
M. A.’s and L. L. D.’s
MOMENTOUS QUESTION SOLVED
The perenial question that has
bothered the ladies since the first home
spun #ock was hung on an indoor tree
has been solved. What to get for men
of the family that will make them feel
that Christmas is a real period of gift
giving and not a rummage sale need
no more worry the inhabitants of this
campus.
No more will it be necessary for
the Co-eds to buy up the surplus sup
ply of bargain counter ties and last
year’s sox in Christmas boxes, label
them “Merry Xmas” and unload them
on their men friends. They but need
to take heed to our suggestions and
make this year end a real time of joy- ft
fill surprise for “the other half.”
The very thing that your men friends
would write to Santa for if they were ^
still kids is an above-the-average,
genuine pipe of the latest design. A
long one for the evenings at home is
the very thing he wants.
There are pipes of all sizes and
shapes, of all qualities and prices for .
every situation. A real jimmy pipe for
the out of doors hits the spot where
many others would not fit in.
If “he” has been wise enough to buy
his own pipes to suit his tastes load
the Christmas tree with a big jar of
his favorite tobacco. Although mother -
will probably be off you for supplying
him with the extra ammunition for
scenting up the curtains you’ll make
a hit with the head of the house that
will be hard to beat.
This matter of giving gifts to a man
that he would buy for himself applies
equally to the males on this campus as
to the women. You know the feeling
that has come over you in the past
when the conventional pile of sox plus
/a Merry Christmas card with your
name on it greets you on the morning
of the 25th. Make this a Christmas of
real joy to the men by giving them
Obak’s pipes, cigarettes and cigarette
holders, cigars and real tobacco.
