NUMBER 10
varsity DEBATE
I Convention Of Pacific Coas
Public Speaking Leagut
Will Be Held On Campu?
CONTESTS TO BE FEATURE
All Do-nut Events Must Be
Over By Homecoming; New
Shield Will be Given to Men
A triangular debate in which the
University of British Columbia, the
University of Idaho, and the Univer
sity of Oregon will participate, will
be staged sometime during the fore
part of the spring term, according to an
announcement made by Elam Amstutz,
forensic manager. This is the first
time within several years that these
three institutions hatve had such a
contest.
“Resolved that the United States
should immediately recognise the
Soviet government in Russia” is the
subject of the question which has been
decided for the Oregon-Reed-O. A. C.
debate scheduled for December 7. The
question was chosen at a meeting of
state debate leaders at Salem two
weeks ago. H. E. Rosson, University
debate coach, and Elam Amstutz, were
the Oregon delegates at the meeting.
Women’s Question Decided
The women’s varsity debate teams
will not start activities until the lat
ter part of February, or the first of
March. Their first contest will be a
triangular debate with Willamette and
O. A. C. _ Miss Ethel Rogers, forensic
manager for the women at O. A. C.
was on the University campus yester
day arranging details for the contest.
The question which will be argued is
“Resolved that the state of Oregon
should have a severance tax on timber.”
The men’s annual debate between
Stanford, Oregon, and Washington will
be held again this year, though as
yet the definite date has not been
decided.
The most important event that for
ensic leaders on the campus are now
planning is the convention of the Pa
cific coast public speaking league to
be held here in November. This is
the first convention of this organiza
tion since it was first established
last spring, and Oregon debate leaders
are anxious to make it an unusual suc
cess, according to Amstutz.
Try-outs to bo Held.
An extempore speaking contest will
be part of the program at the con
vention, and it is necessary that Ore
gon have a strong contendent in the
event, said Mr. Rosson. Tryouts for
this contest will be held Saturday
morning.
The big issue in debate for the cam
pus comes this next week, when the
plans for the do-nut contests will be
announced. The campus contests this
year promise to be unusually interest
ing, according to those heading the
work, because all debates must be over
by Homecoming this will give a much
shorter time for preparation; and a new
shield is to be offered in the men’s
league. It is expected that more org
anizations will compete this year.
CAMPUS HIGH ADDS NEW
COURSE IN COMMERCE
Several additions have been made
in the commerce department of the
University high school this year.
Courses in bookkeeping, advanced
shorthand and advanced stenography
are now included in the curricula. Ten
new typewriters, a filing cabinet, and
new tables for the bookkeeping class
have been added to the equipment.
; Time to Pay Fees
Drawing on Apace;
Laggards Lose Ou
Bring on the money-bags, boy,
the time’s ripe for paying fees.
Camp by the sun-dial all night and
when the rosy dawn paints the
Springfield sky, rise and carry thy
wallet to the registrar’s office and
plank down the family’s hard
earned cash.
The old adage about the early
bird catching the worm certainly
applies to fee paying. It can’t
be emphasized too strongly that
students must pay their fees early.
The time set is from Monday,
October 15 to Saturday, October
20, inclusive, and the hours are
8 a. m. to 12 M. aiyl 1 to 3 p. m.
The comptroller’s window in the
Administration building has been
remaining open until 4:30 p. m.
during registration for the con
venience of students,, but it is an
nounced that next week the regular
hour of closing, 3 o’clock, will be
strictly adhered to. The window
will be shut down whether a line
of students is waiting or not.
All fees, registration, laborato
ry, and non- resident, are to be
paid at the same time this year.
Fees for fall term only, are pay
able, however. The registration fee
is $11.25 and non-resident $50 a
term. If the comptroller hasn’t
received your money by 3 p. m.
Saturday, you will be subject to
a $3.00 penalty and a petition will
Jpve to be filed in order for yeu
to retain your hours in the courses
thsft are affected. Such a student
stands a chance of losing his
grades in those courses. So, a word
the wise ought to he sufficient.
Tomorrow is the last day that
courses can be added, but courses
may be dropped for one more
week. The complete petition must
be filed by that time. Graduate
students may not file their study
cards after today.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS
TO STAGE PRODUCTIONS
“Peter Ibbetson” Will Probably Follow
“Green Goddess”; “Show Shop”
is to Feature Juniors
A list of plays that promises a yeai
of keenest enjoyment to the Guild hall
fans, comprises the tentative program
of Fergus Keddie for the junior and
senior companies.
In “The Green Goddess,” the first
which will be produced, must interest
has been evinced. Those ' who have
seen George Arliss in the role of the
Rajah of Ruhk will be especially in
terested in seeing how this role will
be handled by Darrell Larsen. Lar
sen has demonstrated his ability to
handle tragic parts before, and this
part seisms peculiarly fitted to his
temperament.
Charlotte Banfield will play the only
woman’s part in this particular pro
duction, and will play several leads
thruout the year.
“Peter Ibbetson” will probably be
the next play, and “The Return of
P,gt^r Grimm” will follow. “The
School For Scandal’’ ‘will be done
probably with Kate Pinneo starring,
since the play seems made for her.
“Show Shop” will be given by the
junior company, and many have ex
pressed their desire to have Reddie
put his “The Little Yellow Mother”
on the boards.
With an unusual number of out
standing senior members of the de
partment graduated, it is a little hard
'to conjecture just what persons will
carry the heavy leads in the little
theatre this year. However the ranks
of the companies hpye been filled with
some very sound talent, already hard
to work.
Pledging Announcement
Chi Omega announces the pledging of
Mary Murray, of Portland.
Journalism Janes and Jimmies
Will Join in Peppy Jambouree
Seas of cider and dozens of dough
nuts! Wouldn’t these appeal to any
sane student, especially when served
amid riotous jazz music by persons in
disguise! But it is to be the priv
ilege of only those majoring in journal
ism or otherwise connected with the
publication of Oregon’s daily to be
present at just such a scene Saturday
night.
The outrageous outburst, at which all
pounders of keys and slingers of ink
will appear at their very worst, for
some of the rumored costumes do not
compare with former atrocities, will
start with a spurt at eight o ’clock
sharp, and until every doughnut and
its hole is devoured, each tin container
of cider emptied, and all blank cart
ridges fired off, there will be no
thought of home and the downy nest.
If a good time would be had by
all, loosen the purse-string to the extent
of one dime at the door, and compete
with the members of Sigma Delta Chi
and Theta Sigma Phi for the most
appropriate costume. Do not let tales
of merciless hold-ups and lassooing
parties detain your footsteps, oh
scribes, for you are sure to be bailed
out, and besides, think of the news it
out, and besides, think of the news it
■Will make for the every-fifteen-minute
edition of the Neophytes newspaper.
Already the wheels are being greased,
the tables polished, and chairs made
ready for those of the perilous pen
to keep up-to-date the doings of the
evening. If a chorus-girl who is danc
ing at one end of the room with a
strange man, wishes to know what her
gallant cow-boy has been shooting np

French Student Realizes Lifi
Long Ambition In Comiru
to America, She Declare;
HOSPITALITY IS PRAISEC
Nominating Committee Selects
Candidates for Positions o
Vice-President of Leagut
“The first word I would say to yot:
is ‘ Merci ’ ”, said Mademoiselle Andree
Pellion, beneficiary of the Women ’i
league scholarship, who spoke to the
members of that organization at the
first mass meeting of the year yester
day afternoon in Villard hall. “I was
so glad to come to the United States.
To me it meant the realization of one
of my dearest dreams.”
Since the days of the war, Made
moiselle Pellion has hoped to come to
America. Seeing the kindness of
Americans in France gave her the de
sire to meet and know the people of
this country. She drew a very vivid
picture of France at the time the
American soldiers arrived. “When I
came, I was lost,” she said, “but I
'found that it was not hard to get
along, for here I found hospitality and
the spirit of Oregon.
Money Gift Great
The gift of money to me is great,
but I have found the hospitality great
er. The people here are not only glad
to help me but they help me with a
smile.”
In closing, Mademoiselle Pellion said,
“You have heard that every man has
two countries, his own and France.
Now I have two countries, France and
Oregon.”
The nominating committee, of which
Mary Alexander is chairman, appointed
to select candidates for the vice-pres
idency of the league, to fill the vacancy
left when Margaret Alexander failed to
return to school, reported at this meet
ing. They named Gwladys Keeney and
Virginia Pearson for the position. The
election will be held Tuesday, October
16, and the polls will be open in front
of the library from 10 to 2.
Dean Walker Talks
Dean Walker, student advisor, talked
to the girls for a few minutes about
football and women’s interest in the
game. He expressed the willingness
of the athletic department to give a
series of lectures on the subject if the
women in the University 'were inter
ested and felt that they could give it
the time. He said that unless the
students realized the amount of time
and energy required of each player,
and the various forces against which
he must work, they did not know what
the men were giving to the University.
PARTNERSHIP IS FORMED
Dance Promoters Join Forces; Will
Hold Forth Once A Week
Campus dance enthusiasts will be in
terested to know that Jack Myers and
Douglas Farrell, well known dance pro
motors have joined forces and are at
present holding forth once a week at
the old armory, better known as Dream
land.
The Mid-Nite Sons orchestra is tak
ing care of the music for the partner
ship. William O’Bryant on the piano
is being featured. Harry Me Gillis, a
trumpet player with considerable ex
perience in eastern orchestras is being
added to the aggregation of music
makers. He will make his first ap
pearance with the group Friday night.
Some minor changes have been made
on Dreamland hall and every effort
to please the patrons will be made,
the dance managers promise.
SCIENTIFIC FILMS SECURED
Extension Division is named Distribu
tor of Films on Pacific Coast
The University extension division
has been made the Pacific coast rep
resentative for the distribution of
films from the experiment station of
the National Bureau of Mines at Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania. As a result science
departments in Oregon will be able to
obtain a particularly good selection
of films without having to send to
Pittsburg as was formerly necessary,
according to Alfred Powers, of the
extension division.
Several additions of microscopic
slides on botany have been made by the
extension division of the department
of botany. These will be sent to high
Bchools where they have been requested.
“The slides are especially in demand
by teachers who use compound microp
scopes in their classes,” Mr. Powers
said.
PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS BARRED FROM
COMPETITION IN THEIR SPORT BY
INTRA-MURAL COMMITTEE
Cross Country Restored to Do-Nut Series; P. E.
i Credits Will Be Given on Inter
€
I Fraternity Teams
Two important changes were made
'by the intra-mural sports committee in
| the meeting held Thursday. The
changes refer to the eligibility of do
nut players. Men are barred from
. intra-mural competition who have be
. come professionals according to in
tercollegiate rules only in that sport
, in which they are professionals.
All men trying out for house cross
country will be given gym credit
even if they do not make the team. In
order to receive gym credit each house
must turn in to the office in the men’s
gymnasium a complete list of men try
ing out for the event. Training starts
Monday and the list of entrants must
be handed in to the office not later
than Wednesday of next wek.
The do-nut basketball tournament
will get under way with the two games
scheduled for Monday afternoon of
next week. Basket ball players can
only receive gym credit by reporting
to their gym instructors on the days
they play a game or particpate in an
Organized practice, and their names
must be on the certified list of players
which every house basketball manager
must turn into the office in the men’s
gymnasium.
Thus a professional baseball player
would bo barred from do-nut baseball
but could play basketball or any other
do-nut sport. The second revision pro
vides that men (except freshmen) are
barred from do-nut competition in any
sport in which they have representated
a university in an inter-collegiate
meet. A revised list of rules will be
sent to each house within the next
week. The committee also decided to
reinstate cross country as & regular
event on the do-nut program. The
inter-mural cross country meet will be
held some time before the end of the
fall term. Each house entering the
meet will have a three man team. Men
trying out for do-nut cross country
will be required to report three times a
week and if they are taking regular
gym werk may report to the men’s
gymnasium and receive credit.
As yet the houses have failed to turn
in the certified lists. No gym credits
can be given unless these lists are

FRO FOOTBALL TEAM
Line-up Will Not be Announced
Until Chemawa Game
Sixty-five frosh footballers are work
ing nightly on the sawdust gridiron
south of Hayward, field and while
Coach Williams does not enthuse great
ly over the prospects, he admits that
they are a big, hardworking bunch
of youngsters, who will show a lot be
fore the season is over.
So far practice has been devoted to
rudiments and light scrimmage, but
next week the real work is to begin.
No cuts have been made in the squad,
nor will be for some time. Williams
says the going will be so hard in
the next few days that the customary
“weeding out” practice probably will
not be used.
There is a dearth of backfield mater
ial for the team and it is impossible
to picl^ ,amy outeamding players at
this time. The ends include several
good men. among them Adolph, Col
lins, Dill and Pete Brooks. The fresh
men should get good punting this
year, as Harrison, Adolph and Mim
naugh are booting them, long and high.
The line positions belong to anybody
right now but Coach Earl is of the
opinion that it will be slightly heavier
than last year.
The first game on the frosh schedule
is with Chemawa, October 20. By that
date something more definite will be
known about the ability of the re
spective players and Williams will not
announce even a first string before
then.
Williams is driving his linemen hard
right now and the way they are de
livering gives promise of an aggres
sive forward line. Some of the men
are big and the others make it up in
fight. Last night the “supposed first
string” line worked well in opening
holes for the backs. They still lack the
polish of Williams’ teams of the last
two years.
The backfield looks fairly good with
Agee, Mimnaugh, Officer, and Post
taking their turn with the ball. Jones,
a big back from Salem, looks good
and there are several others who
haven’t shown yet. The squad iB still
too big, a reduction will soon be in
order when the going gets rough.
SURVEY OF LOAN FUNDS ON
Scope of Financial Aid to be Widened;
$9440 Borrowed in Past Year
According to Dean Walker, who
heads the university loan fund com
mittee, there is a survey being made
in this important field of student wel
fare, the aim of which is to increase
the scope and specialize some of the
features of loan funds.
Some interesting figures are dis
closed in looking over the cashier’s
report on loan funds for the year 1922
23. The total amount of loan contri
butions, exclusive of special funds, was
$13,489.36. The number of student bor
rowers from general loan funds, which
is made up of ten individual gift
funds, was 24 women, with a total
amount borrowed of $2180.00, and 73
men, with a total of $7260.00 borrowed.
EACH HALL WILL ENTER
TWO TEAMS IN SERIES
First Do-nut Game for Women
Will be October 24
Susan Campbell hall and Hendricks
hall will each have two first teams and
two substitute teams in all do-nut
games as a result of a decision made
■Tuesday night at a meeting of the
'executive council of W. A. A. An
nouncements of plans for various sports
have been made and work has begun
in earnest.
The division of tke halls has been
a much-discussed question on the cam
pus due to the fact that girlsl in
other living organizations have felt
that they have not kad an equal chance
in do-nut games. The halls have a
greater number of girls from which to
choose their teams and, as a result,
for several years, the championship
game has been between the two halls,
the other houses having no chance in
the competition.
The teams will be chosen by lots
and will be placed in different leagues
so that there will be no competition
within the hall. Each team will
have its own substitute squad. In case
of two teams from one hall rising
to the top of their respective leagues,
the game will not be played, the cup
going at once to that hall.
“I certainly appreciate the way in
which the girls from the halls have re
sponded to this movement,” said Doro
othy McKee, president of W. A. A. “It
has entailed a great sacrifice bub they
have been simply splendid.”
Basketball practice for women’s do
nut games is now under way and will
last until Wednesday, October 24, when
the first game is scheduled. Every
girl must have at least six practices
before she is eligible to play in any
do-nut game. Eighteen or twenty
houses are expected to compete this
year, according to Florence Baker,
head of basketball.
Janet Woods, head of hiking, an
nounces that the first W. A. A. hike
Will take place on Sunday, October 21.
The trail will lead along the river,
ending up at Springfield. Everyone
is to bring her own lunch and be ready
to start at 9 o ’clock in the morning.
SHY PIL01SI[I
AGAINST VARSITY
Oregon’s Fighting Third Makes
Touchdown With Forward
Passes and Clever Plays
COACH WEATHERS STORM
Hayward is Patching up Early
Season Injuries; Squad is
Coached in Fundamentals
Those who came out to Hayward field
to watch practice last night were
treated to a few football thrills that
actually overshalowed the feminine
enhanced riot of Wednesday. In order
to give the varsity defensive practice
against certain types of plays Coach
Huntington put Scrap Iron Toole in at
a half position and called signals him
self, using the fighting third to drive
the ball over the varsity’s goal line.
The varsity linemen seemed to have
the idea that this was a rare oppor
tunity to make an impression on the
coach concerning their charging and
tackling ability; but somehow, after
the heap was untangled, Shy always
appeared with a grin and none the
worse for the mix up. On his im
provised team Shy used: Red Powers,
center; Kelly and Mays, guards; Carl
berg and Ellis, tackles; and Don Zim
merman and Kidwell at ends. In the
backfield Toole and Kendal werp at
half, Hillis at full, while Shy called
signals at quarter. The ability of Zim
merman to pull down passes gave the
fighting third several substantial gains
via the air route.
Linemen Work at Defense
The linemen who have been report
ing early have resumed their old prac
tice at defensive work. Twenty min
utes was also devoted to tackling prac
tice. The rudiments of football have
been well drilled on during the last
week and a half, so the game Saturday
should show a squad of clean tackles
and good blockers even though the
team work might still be a bit ragged.
Bailey is stilt doing his heavy work
running around the track; but Bill
Hayward hopes to have him in shape
to start the game Saturday. Bill has
been unusually busy the last few days
fixing up the countless ailments which
always afflict a team the first of the
season; however, these gradually les
sen in number as the men get toughened
to the grand.
Student Body Optimistic
Tonight the squad will take only
a light workout to keep them on edge
for the coming conflict: for scrimmage
is over until the starting whistle blows
tomorrow afternoon on Hayward field.
If conscientious effort on the part
of the men and good coaching will win
a football game, Oregon will come out
a real victor, seems to be attitude of
the student body toward tho Pacific
conflict.

Fair Piggers Will Avenge Past
Wrongs in Coming Leap Week
Pre-Leap Week and the politician!
are with us with their usual offering!
of gum, coca colas, and smiles wreathec
all over their inquiring faces. Campui
elections with their candidating mobi
have little in comparison with the bow!
and scraps now being showered upor
the senior women in anticipation per
haps of an evening at the movies
noodles at China Mary’s, or trippinf
the light fantastic at some feminim
pigger’s expense. Leap Week maj
turn into revenge week when som<
of the fairer sex take spite out 01
their secret sorrows who have let then
sit alone many a weary evening, anc
ask them out. Perhaps on the othei
hand some of our more popular boyi
who have lately contrived argument!
with their lady friends, may find tha'
the fire place feels most comfortable
evenings. It will be the women’s week
but, we imagine the men won't let
i this revenge stuff go very far with
out returning it and probably more
than one lady will nervously twitch
and squirm in some fraternity house
drawing room while her date sits calm
ly above watching the minutes roll by.
Really, the anxiety over dates even
at this early hour is appalling. Such
questions, when meeting some of the
senior men on the campus, as these
come rather easily from them, “Oh
I’d like to talk to you,” “Can’t you
walk up to class with me,”, and “Are
you going to have a pleasant senior
week!” One house has actually issued
invitations to a pre-Leap Week adver
tising dinner in order that its guests
may look over the stock with a view
to future prospects. Time will tell
and until then date books will probably
be flourished widely.
