Assembly
Who has not heard—‘Breathes there a
man with soul so dead who never to him
self hath said, This is my own, my native
land?’ That sentiment, universal in its
anneal is recognized inherently by every
oTas being thoroughly laudable-some
persons even carrying it to the debatable
point of, ‘My country, right or wrong—
The world in which the average Amer
ican undergraduate lives is largely lim
ited to the four walls of his University.
For the most impressionable years of his
life his thoughts and actions revolve
around the one axis,—his University. It
is at once his world, and his Alma Mater
—the recipient of his affections. Loyalty
is seldom lacking, be the University large
or small, powerful or insignificant.
Today Oregon men and women, who
are famed for their loyalty, are accorded
the privilege of pledging fidelity and
loyalty to the University, and apprecia
tion to the Oregon commonwealth for the
tremendous advantages accorded the
members of the University community.
Education at the University is largely
a matter of take, and not give* and the
ceremony today offers a means, in a
meager way, to express appreciation of
the bountiful bequests of the University
and the State.
No one can afford to neglect this serv
Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, is
going about the campus beaming for all
he is worth. The receipts at the Califor
nia-Oregon game did it. Give him a few
more crowds like that, he says, and he’ll
bring the student body out of debt in a
hurry
The Oregon Varsity leaves for Palo
Alto and Stanford from Villard Hall im
mediately after assembly. Every one
should be on hand to give the men a
big send off. The team is in the midst
of an extremely trying schedule and
needs aM the encouragement the students
can give. The train leaves at 12:10 p. m.
With the term well on towards the
half way mark we wonder how many of
us are behind in the scholastic race al
ready.
From Other Schools
ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE
Only thirty-five per cent of those annually
admitted to college ever achieve the goal of
a degree.
Outside circumstances interefere in many
eases, but university officials say that one
third of all casualties are simply a matter of
Johnnie’s having flunked out. Kxtra-curricular
activities, more than all other things, are
blamed.—The American Campus.
CAFETERIA AND COLLEGE EDUCATION
For the past ten years at the Iowa State Col
lege the profits accumulating from the Y. W.
C. A. cafeteria have been put into a student
loan fund which yow totals nearly $112,000. The
fund is available to men students in the junior
or Renior year with good recommendations and
with a scholarship average of 85 per cent or
above. i
We might suggest this plan to take care of
the profits accruing from the much-needed stu
dent cafeteria on this campus. Won’t someone
please start one!
ATTENTION. MEN!
If I were a designer
Of women's clothes renown,
I'd make a hundred pockets
In every evening gown.
And when she’d hand mo
Lip sticks and compacts by the score,
I’d snsfile and calmly answer, i
“Dearie, that ain’t done no more.”

The outline of a human life. Cyril Hume in
“Cruel Fellowship” gives us Fisher, not a hero
but a life. “As the twig is bent so grows the
tree”—“Fate is sister, cousin, brother, aunt,
grandmother, and wet nurse to the child.”
In “Clotho,” the child is born into manhood,
held down by narrw Puritanism. His discoveries
leave him puzzled rather than understanding.
Quiet, reserved, even sullen, he passes through
college a failure as far as campus life is con
cerned, ending in a passionate and unfortunate
outburst at the Prom. “The habit of loneliness
had him on a barbed hook which sank deeper
aifd held him harder when he struggled to be
free.”
Laehesis. Developer. Fisher passes quickly
through the process of securing a position and
becomes settled in a bookshop—at twelve dol
lars a week. The boarding house. Landlady.
Typical. Drudgery. Terrible. Lonely, lonely
. . . . And the woman who might have made
him a man. But he could not support her. He
had not the will to support her. Poor Fisher—
“Fish”—lonely, snuffing out existence in his
pitiful nonentity. His understanding of what
people think of him. Bitter. He draws the
wrong kind of a friend. Fisher would. The
disillusionment of realization. His friendship
becomes a cheap joke. . Jibes in the bookshop.
Thirty-five a week after years of service.
Atropos, the pitiful finish. The bright spot
when he buys a dog, when it becomes his life
only to be 'taken from him. Killed. Then the
inevitable bad woman. Sinking. Degradation.
Life, life . . . one, two, three. . .
We must oonfess we liked Cyril Hume's book,
style or no style.” It is a master-work of char
acterization. This young mian, not so long ago
a college graduate, has far to go into the lit
erary field. As Kerry Bcott has said, the book
displayed the fine spirit of Hume himself when
he tore up the flagstones a few days prior to
graduation exercises. A chat on the prelude
to “Cruel Fellowship” appeared in Book Nook
last Saturday.

OREGON WEEKLY
Monday November 5, 1900
Multnomah won the big football game from
the University of Oregon today. It was not a
sensational game. There were few long runs,
the ”5 yard dash of McMillan and the clever
trick play of Kerrigan being the only one of
moment. The score 5 to 0 stands for one of
the closest and hardest games ever played in
Portland. The play was fierce but not unneces
sarily vicious; hard, but clean. Multnomah is^
proud of her victory and honestly so, for she
encountered a team full worthy of her prow
ess; the University mien aro by no means dis
couraged at their showing. They realize that
they made the victors feel their presence and
that they called forth the most strenuous efforts
of their opponents.
The editors of the Weekly desire all con
tributors when abbreviating University of Ore
gon to write it U. O. and not as was formerly
the custom with the preposition “of.”
The work of the rooters in the campus gaane
ast week is deserving of special mention. It
vas vigorous and systematic, and it lasted
hroughont the entire game. The boys deserve
ho heartiest congratulations.
Uecomber 14 is the date set for the Senior
eception.
For thi> second time in its history, the Uni
ersity of Oregon will send its football eleven
o California. Last year, when the Webfooters
let Berkeley, the whole coast was surprised at
he result. This season the work in California
.ill be watched with the utmost interest The
ehedule of games is a hard one, but the Ore
onians are in good shape‘for the contests.
For students of the University a special rate
f !15 cents has been made for the Barlow
He'.ke piano recital at the Christian church
ext Saturday evening.

A policeman with a yellow bill,
Tapped upon my window sill,
Knocked me on the head and said,
“HAVE YOUR LIGHTS ADJUSTED.”
Old Sinbad the other day got loquacious and
gave vent to his feeling in the following way:
“Say,-fellows, I feel so good I could grasp a bo
vine by the caudal appendage and hold him hori
zontally with the horizon.”
Whereupon we all decided he had either just
gotten a II on his Report Writing paper, made
a heavy date with Helen Manary or had a swig
of Fred Henningsen’s healing cough syrup.
And now, dear babes, we come to that great
item of interest that you have been waiting a
whole week for. • Bcause the following have
shown themselves worthy in somfc way or other,
we nominate them into associate membership
in our Order.
Ray Rankin, because it may be through
his strong pull he might gain favor in the
eyes of the Amphibians.
Boone HenariCKs because oi ms aomty to
tease along the ivories, and because he may
sometime be as good looking as his brother.
Fran Wardner, because she’s beautiful
and dumb, hasn’t got a line and doesn’t
fall for one.
Billy Giles, because of his high Ideals,
and advise to other wandering freshmen.
Mayanna Sargent, because of her sense
of humor, and because she isn’t afraid of
Piggin’ Lane after nine o’clock.
Cliff Emmel, because of his ambition to
play the pipe organ in the Colonial theatre.
Blanch Allen, because she thinks that Os
wego Lake is a'much nicer place to live in
than New York.
Jack Jones, because of his passion for
grapenuts and H. G. Wells, and because he
had the nerve to tell us that someone came
up to him and said “Hello there, Lynn.”
Alice La Tour, because she had her first
love affair when a freshman at Jefferson
high, and has been at it ever since.
There w as a young freshman nam,ed Hocket
Who wore his green hat in his pocket,
He was soundly chastised
Before everyone's eyes,
And he took it down town to reblock it.

INDEPENDENCE
John Silver, patch across his sightless eye,
And wooden leg where once a leg could stand,
Had never been adored by dimpled maid,
He didn’t have a flame in every land.
His hat pulled down to hide a face as cruel
As cutlasses, that gash and rip and tear
Could not conceal a heart, that merciless
The pleas of captive maids refused to spare.
Hi, then, I would old Silver be, and so
When ever dimpled maid would beg a boon,
1 ’d scowl from out one eye to make her cringe,
Turn on my wooden leg, and let her swoon.

EVER THINK OF ALL THE USES
OF CHOCOLATE
There are a great many.
Just sit down a minute
and count them. But be
fore you go ovei4 the ones
you know, let ns suggest
something you probably
never have tasted.
Have you eaten choco
late in salads? It is dif
ferent and delicious. Slice
a banana in half and roll
it in a sugar syrup and I
then iu ground chocolate
and chopped nuts. Serve
it on lettuce with mayon
naise and it will be thor
oughly enjoyed.
Ask your friends how
chocolate cookies appeal
to them either with or
without an icing.
We haven’t forgotten
the joy of drinking choco
late with cinnamon toast
or cheese dreams, there is
nothing more appetizing.
And chocolate fudge!
There is no need to dwell
on its glory.
