Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1923 NUMBER 37 RED CROSS DRIVE TO BE WEDNESDAY Program for Soliciting Funds Is Unusual; Speakers Will Visit Living Organizations LUCINDA DELL IN CHARGE Local Work Among Veterans of War Receives Money From Students’ Pledges Next Wednesday the annual drive for Bed Cross subscriptions will be launched on the campus. Complete charge of the drive is in the hands of Lucinda Dell, who has planned a live program for soliciting funds among the various organizations. A representative from each house will have charge of the work in that house. On Tuesday, during the dinner hour, speakers will be sent out to the houses, a man speaker to a girls’ house and a girl speaker to a men’s house. A table will be provided inside the entrance of the library from 9 to 12 Monday morning and from 1 to 4 in the afternoon. All organizations are requested to turn in their quotas at the booth during the hours that it is open in the afternoon. Students Urged to Cooperate “Of course, it is not compulsory to join,” says Lucinda Dell in urging student cooperation with the house representatives, “but I think we all know what the Red Cross does and are willing to help.” The local Red Cross unit has expressed the hope that the University will respond generously this year as the students usually sup port movements of this kind very well. The money pledged will be used for two separate ends. A part will go to the national organization and a part to the community work. The students are asked merely for the annual mem bership contribution of $1. However, the following contributions and mem bership statuses are available at this time: $5 for contributing membership, $10 for sustaining membership, $25 for supporting membership, $50 for life membership and $100 for patron mem bership. Of the first four of these, all but 50 cents will be used for local community work. Town Drive Progressing The student pledges may be paid in installments but it is the desire of the chairman that the payment be made at once. The local unit has been putting on a drive during the last few days and while the outlying districts have not been heard from, $1,500 has now been received from Eugene. The aim of the drive, including the student contribution, is $3,600. The town drive will continue till Thanksgiving. Lane county has a long record of work in the Red Cross line, especially in helping the ex-serviee man and his family. There is still a large number of disabled men in the hospitals who require aid. The Red Cross has spe cial branches for hospital treatment, vocational training, cases of tubercu losis, epilepsy and shell shock, bonus applications and reinstatement of in surance. There are also many civilian cases under their care. During the Japanese disaster, the Lane county relief campaign contri buted a free-will offering of $2,342.15. This is the students’ opportunity to co operate in this kind of work. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Tail Nu announces the pledging of Alice Ehrenreich, of Albany. Student Who Will Play Comedy Role at Heilig Katherine Pinneo I “DOVER ROAD’’ WILL BE STAGED NEAT M0NDA1 Clever Comedy to be Producet by'Mask and Buskin “Dover Road” is a little more’ thai just a play. It is a pleasure, keej amusement, and the certain promise o: an evening of successive laughs in ap preciation of really good situations an< clever lines. If “Dover Road” had not a successfu past in New York, it would still b( worth seeing for its own sake, for, ai the author himself says of it, “it is ai absurd comedy.” Mask and Buskir has made itself known for the above amateur quality of its productions anc interpretations. Kate Pinneo is cast in the humorous role of the piece and, after her man} performances in company plays and her acts in junior vaudevilles, little more need be said. In this play she has an unusual opportunity for good comedy. The part lends itself to the sort of maneuvering the Pinneo brand of comedy can get across. Betty Robinson, who could hardly be cast for anything but a charming little aristocrat, will interpret Anne opposite Ted Baker, who is ftl#o manag ing the play. Dave Swanson has a very nice role, which he does well. Dave is getting better all the time. His part in the “Green Goddess” was well received by the audience. Darrell Larsen is in the role of Mr. Latimer, rich and eccentric bachelor, who lives on the Dover Road, the way the eloping couples take, and it would really seem as if this part were made for Larsen. In the “Green Goddess” he did better than in most of his former interpretations but the part as signed him in this play he handles more easily than that of the Rajah. The play will be produced at the Heilig theatre one night only, next Monday night, November 19. A mem ory of the ticket situation for “Come Out of the Kitchen,” the last Mask and Buskin play, would plead the neces sity of getting the tickets early if one would be sure. COURSE FOR BEGINNERS IN BASKETBALL OFFERED WOMEN A voluntary course for beginners in basketball is being offered to women in a class directed by Dorothy McKee. The course is to continue for the rest of this term and next term and all those who have never played but desire to learn are eligible to enter. No credit is given in the work. The class meets every Wednesday and Thursday at 4 o ’clock. Colonel Leader Is on Deck for Homecoming Festivities “ I always feel, in case O. A. C. does win, that perhaps one last yowl from me might have saved the day,” says Colonel Leader, and it is for that reason, he adds, that he lives in Van couver instead of England, “because, you know, it would be so far to come over from England every year for Ore gon’s Homecoming.” The popular colonel is back on the campus again to witness the big game and help Oregon on to a victory against the Beavers. And there is no doubt in his mind that there will be a victory, although it does not necessarily take a victory to keep up his enthusiasm. “Three athletic events stand out in my mind,” he says, “that to me are the high points in Oregon athletics since my first connection with the school. The first was the big game between O. A. C. and Oregon, 1919, when O. A. C. carried off the honors with a score of 9 to 7. The second was the Thanks giving game last year, when we tied Washington at Seattle. Washington was on our three-yard line with four to go and our line didn’t move an inch, but held the Huskies. And the third big moment was the last quar ter of the Oregon-Stanford game last Saturday. I ’ll never forget any one of those plays”—and he looked as if he meant it, for if Oregon has only one staunch adherent, through thick and thin, that man is Colonel Leader. “I have fixed up a room up there in Vancouver,” he says, “with no other decorations than Oregon pen nants and Oregon colors, and it’s there for no other purpose than to make my visitors feel at home when they come to visit me.” Art Bosebraugh was a visitor at the Colonel’s home this sum mer, as was also Miss Banfield of the dramatic department. “It’s not used as much as I’d like though,” he says, and there is a note of longing in his voice, “for everyone has been so kind (Continued on page three) DR. BOWMAN WILL TALK IT ISSE1L) “Three Philosophies of Life” Is Portland Pastor’s Subject at Student Body Meeting | VILLARD HALL IS PLACE — Speaker Teacher for Three Years at Beirut College, Syrian Christian Institution At the assembly today in Villard hall, Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church of I Portland, will talk on “Three Philoso phies of Life,” and the University or chestra will play two numbers. It is not known what philosophies of life Dr. Bowman will discuss, but it is | known that his discussions are always fascinatingly absorbing, for, as a speaker, he is considered by persons who have heard him to be exceptionally fine. The very fact that after his L graduation from McCormick Theo t logical Seminary his second pastorate < was in the Portland church, the sixth . largest Presbyterian church in the United States, e’Joeaks well for ,his ability. The members of his pastorate number considerably more than the | University student body, aocording to ! Rev. Bruce Giffen, University stu dent pastor. Reverend Bowman is particularly interested in and qualified to talk before college students, for he is a member of the synod committee which has charge of religious work in the colleges. Speaker Will Address High School Dr. Bowman has addressed the stu dents at the University of Oregon each year since his arrival in the west, and faculty members and students alike are warm in their praise of him as a lecturer. He will arrive on the campus this morning, and, before the campus as sembly, he will address the students of the Eugene High school. At noon Dr. Bowman will be guest of honor at a luncheon to be given at the “Y” hut, at which time student leaders on the oampuB are invited to meet him. One of the outstanding purposes of the luncheon is to create atmosphere for the Student Volunteer convention to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, the latter part of December. This conference is expected to be the greatest student gathering in the world, as it is planned to have present 6,000 students representing approximately 1,000 institutions of higher education all over the world. These Student Volunteer conventions, which are inter denominational in their scope, are held every four years. Dr. Bowman Foreign Instructor Reverend Bowman is particularly interested in such an international project, for he was for three years an instructor in Beirut college, a Chris tian institution in Syria. It was largely through his efforts that Roy Veatch, a Eugene man who was gradu ated from the University in 1921, was elected to the position of instructor in that institution. Though all student body assemblies so far this term have been held in the Woman’s bftilding, the administration announces that Villard will bo used for that purpose today. j The orchestra, under the direction of i Professor Underwood, will play a selection from “The Fortune Teller,” j by Victor Herbert, and probably Tsehai kowsky’s “Chinese Dance.” --- FRIENDLY HALL LEADS IN DOUGHNUT DEBATE1 I - i First Forensic Contest of Season Held! Last Night; Question In volves Timber Tax Friendly hall took the lead in the first lap of the Doughnut debate, which was held last night in the Com- j merce building, both the affirmative j and negative teams winning unanimous j decisions, and making the maximum of eight points. Psi Kappa, Beta j Theta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and' Delta Tau Delta were close seconds rvith seven points each. The question was “Resolved: That Oregon should adopt a severance tax on timber.” The affirmative teams re 1 ceived a slight majority of votes. The results are as follows: Friendly hall, eight; Psi Kappa, seven; Sigma Alpha Ephilon, seven; Sigma Pi Tau, seven; Delta Tau Delta, seven; Bachel ordon, five; Phi Delta Theta, four; Alpha Beta Chi, ‘one; Kappa Delta Phi, one; Sigma Pi Tau, one; and Oregon club nothing. Council Elects Reinhart_ i Varsity Basketball Coach _ « Action Follows Recommendation of Director Earle in Appointment of Former Oregon Star; Freshmen Will Have New Mentor The appointment of Billy Reinhart, who has held the position of freshman backfield coach this fall, as varsity basketball coach was made known last night. Reinhart was selected from the field of applicants by the executive council, after being recommended by Virgil Earl, director of Oregon ath letics. Earl’s recommendation was the outcome of an expressed desire of the basketball letter men that Reinhart should be the mentor of the varsity hoop sport. As Billy was named this fall to coach all of the freshman sports, his acceptance of the baTth as varsity coach will necessitate the procuring of another freshman basketball coach. Ac cording to Earl, the services of a frosh coach will be secured at an early date. Becord Is Good Reinhart’s record as an Oregon athlete seems to give him a clear call to the position as well as the fact that he was a student of Bohler basketball. This will be greatly in his favor as he has a team that is well schooled I in tho Bolder type of basketball which j placed a premium on fast passing and , team play. As it stands now. Coach 1 Reinhart wilfcbc able to start his work I with a group of men that are well versed in his style of fundamentals, whereas if a coach of another type of basketball were appointed, he would have to undo tho work of the previous coach. Reinhart is a three-vear letter man in both football and baseball and for two years held down a guard berth on the varsity basketball team. Ho started his collegiate athletic career when he played outfield on tho base ball team in 1919 and he held that position for the following two years, serving as field captain in 1921. In 1920 he* made a namo for himself in football circles as an understudy to Bill Steers at quarterback and the fol lowing year was the outstanding as pirant to that position when he broke his shoulder in the Willamette game. (Continued on page three) EMERALD TO BE MADE SEVEN COLUMN SHEET Enlargement Found Necessary With Increase of News A distinct advance in campus journal ism was made last night when the executive council unanimously ac cepted the recommendation of the publications committee that the Ore gon Daily Emerald be changed to a seven-column sheet. The editorial staff of the Emerald has been handicapped this fall by lack of space and considerable important news has been crowded out to meet the needs of the advertisers, and the change was considered a necessary move. The Emerald has come to be .recog nized as one of the best advertising mediums in the city, according to the report of the publications committee. This fact, the committee believes, is largely due to the work of Leo Munly, manager of the student daily, who has carried the Emerald advertising pres tige to the highest mark in its his tory. Robert C. Hall, superintendent of the University Press, has been instruct ed to go ahead with plans for the (Continued on page three) KNIGHTS OF 2 IN 1 TO INVADE CAMPUS TODAY National Odor of Italy to Prevail in Classes; Eyes to be Blinded by Glare’of Bright Colors Juniors will shine today! Large hob nailed, mud scows, trim, natty oxfords, dainty co-ed slippers and shoes, the Juniors will shine anything that comes by on a pair of feet today—and it will be some shine. Bright sashes, villainous mustaches, oeetling brows and melting Italian eyes will these knights of the 2 in 1 have as they sally forth accompanied by the sparkling, colorful Carmens of the class who will inveigle the more hard-boiled masculine bipeds of the campus into the lairs of the lusty-lunged advocates of a shine as the great panacea. No one will escape, say the juniors, the professors will be accosted, their collective conscience appealed to, and their pockets rifled. Of course, no vio lent means will be employed, it is stated, but the most strenuous moral persuasion is in order. As a special inducement, a handsomo shoe-shining kit will be ab-so-lute-ly given away—free for nothing, to the customer having his shoes shined be tween the hours of 9 and 11, who holds the lucky number and is present when the drawing takes place at 11 o’clock in front of the library. Classes will roek with the national odor of Italy. Eyes will be blinded by the glare of many newly-attacked pedal extremities, and life savers at the co-op will not sell as rapidly be cause of an inexplainable shortage of small change among the students. Colonel Leader, it is rumored, came back for the express purpose of being on the campus for this occasion, though he would rather not have that published because he has told other groups the same thing. At least he will have his shoes all put in order for his next trip. SOPHOMORE INFORMAL SCHEDULED SATURDAY Tri-Color Oriental Motif Will be Used in Decorations In an Oriental milieu of exotic splendor, the annual Sophomore Infor mal will be given Saturday evening at the armory. Strictest secrecy is being maintained by the committees in charge of decorations and features for this big University event, but a few "teas ers” have leaked out which have caused much interest and suspense on the campus. A tri-color motif of Oriental green interspersed with gray and brunt orange, which will be worked out in the decorations, has caused much specula tion as to the mode of treatment of the hall which will be "exceedingly different,” the committee states. The feature dance to be given by Gladys Noreen and Kathryn Jane Seel will be a fantastic creation in conform ity with the decorations, state those in charge, and will be teeming with brilliant and gay action. Women will be dressed in formal dress and men will appear in either informal attire, or tuxedos. Refreshments have not been neglect ed and the committee handling this phase of the dance is enthusiastic re garding its choice. The orchestra will be orientalizod for the affair and so will be in keep ing with the setting. Tho designs and colors of the programs are to bo kept secret until tho very hour of tho dance. Inasmuch as tho affair is one of tho big all-University affairs of the year and no admittance feo is exacted, a record-breaking attendance is fore casted by the sophomores. Floyd Mc Kalson is the chairman heading all committees for the event. Y. M. AND Y. W. TO SPONSOR MEETING OF SOCIAL WORKERS There will be a meeting for all those interested in observance of world fel lowship work at the Y. M. C. A. hut at 7:15 o’clock tonight. The meeting is being given under the joint auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. and everyone interested in student volunteer work, or world fellowship, is invited to attend. FARRELL MEADS STUDENT UNION Committee Named to Advance Movement for Constructing University Rallying Place COST TO BE INVESTIGATED Berkeley Building Described by Frank Carter; Structure Is Center of Campus Activity The appointment was made yesterday of this year’s Student Union committee. Douglas Farrell heads the list as chair man. Farrell is a senior and head of the publicity committee for this year’s Homecoming. He was chairman of Junior Week-End last year, had eharge of this year’s Y. M.-Y. W. mix, and has held numerous other positions on the campus. Mary Skinner, a junior and secre tary of this year’s Homecoming com mittee,and Frank Dorman, a senior in the school of achitecture, completes the list. Claude Robinson, A. S. U. O. president, believes this to be a very important appointment, for the com mittee is to make tangible the more or less hazy plans that are outlined at present for the Student Union. Campaign to be Worked Out The working out of this year’s cam paign will be the first task of the committee. The Student Union idea was started last year and gifts were solicited from the various campus or ganizations. This year the plan is to have the committee work in conjunction with the gift campaign. The first tangible plans for the building are to be outlined at once. The location, plans and cost of the union will bo decided upon. The Student Union will be located ia a central part of the campus, where it will be accessible to the largest num ber. It will contain committee rooms, lounging rooms, student stores, rooma for visiting teams, a newspaper plant, a cafeteria and other features. “The Student Union is a rallying place to keep alive the spirit of democ racy on the campus as the student body enlarges,” says Robinson. The Student Union committee is to cooper ate with the Greater Oregon plan to fit the Sudent Union building into the plans for a greater Oregon. Fund Will be Increased The Oregon Student Union will be built as soon as the money is secured. How soon this will be is a matter for conjecture. The cost of like buildings on other campuses ranges from $250,000 to $1,000,000. Frank Carter, vice president of the student body, in his visit to the Cali fornia campus at the student body presidents’ convention, brought home some significant information concern ing the Berkeley Student Union. The total cost of tho Union was $400,000, of which $300,000 went into building and materials and $100,000 into furui turo and equipment. Methods in Other Schools Noted The funds were raised by various subscription campaigns, the profits of the cooperative store, which last total led $05,000, by au assessment of the funds of the associated students and by the profits from student activities such as football and the daily news paper. The general purpose of this student union is to make it tho contcr for all student life upon the campus and tho headquarters of all student activities. Among the features tho building boasts are the cooperative store, soda fountain, cafeteria, tea room, barber shop, roof garden, lounging rooms and offices. The alumni association lias exclusive use of one portion of the union for offices and reception rooms. Excellent Technique Shown in Jackson Dance Program By Ii. K. B. and M. S. A uniform sense of balance and rhythm characterized the varied Deni shawn dance program given by Juanita Jackson last night in Guild theatre. She was supported by Elizabeth Nel son, soprano, and Jean Harper, pian ist, Four dances were presented, each in a different mood, the last (one, “Maria! Mari!”, being especially origi nal iu interpretation. The most typically Denishawn of the four were the “Garden Dance” and “Brahm’s Waltz,” from the visualiza tion of the waltz by Ruth St. Denis. Poise was maintained throughout, as one line rippled into another. Miss Jackson also shows her Russian ballet training in the sharp definition of kirks and turns, and the c^aan-cut beauty of her loaps. The dance “Maria! Mari!” had a gypsy abandon in its daring of invita tion, promise and scorn, in pleasing contrast with the studied restraint of the other three and the vivid red of the costume against the purple curtains. The tambourine seemed especially suited to the dancer’s personality. The backward bend in the pirouettes, and the side arabesques were repeated in two encores. “Temple Bolls,” rendered first as a song by Miss Nelson, and then as a dance, gave an oriental touch.
