CAMPUS WRITERS
TO DISCUSS NEW
MAGAZINE TODAY
Tabard Inn and Pot'and Quill
To Meet With Students
And Professors At 4:15
Former Fiction Publications
Failures Owed To Lack
Of Financial Resources
The feasibility of starting a new
campus magazine will be discussed
at a meeting to be held in 105 jour
nalism at 4:15 this afternoon, un
der the auspices of Tabard Inn of
Sigma Epsilon, men writer’s fra
ternity and Pot and Quill, women
writers’ fraternity.
All students and faculty mem
bers interested in the publication
of a new magazine are asked to
attend the meeting when several
proposals for the new magazine
will be advanced. This meeting
will probably determine whether
the University will have another
publication, and if so the type of
publication it will be.
No Literary Organ At Present
An inventory of the present cam
pus publications taken from a re
cent Emerald editorial displays a
meager list; “ first the ’Hello
Book,’ yearly information and ad
vice; the student and faculty ‘Di
rectory,’ statistics; the ‘Daily Em
erald;’ the annual 1 Orcgaija; ’ and
the monthly ‘Old Oregon,’ thp lat
ter an alumni magazine.
Twenty five years ago, with 300
students enrolled;- a monthly maga
zine in addition to the weekly
struggled bravely, but somewhere
along the line it gave up the ghost.
Pot and Quill, women writers ’
fraternity, recently published one
issue of a literary magazine, “Green
Ink,” but it died in swaddling
clothes.
Financial Difficulties Involved
Lemon Punch, the brain child of
campus wits, died a recent ignoble
death, and lies with grave unkempt.
A magazine of short stories, plan
ned last year, got no farther than
the brains of its projectors. No
finances.
Last year, also, there was ‘Em
erald Ink,’ a supplement promised
in lieu of the extinct Sunday Em
erald| Gone, gone, also a victim
of financial disability on the part
of the Emerald.
Another Emerald supplement
planned for the present year seems
to have followed the rest of the
corpses with not enough money on
hand to provide a decent funeral.”
The need of a magazine has been
expressed by many. “The publi
cation of a magazine would be one
of the biggest steps toward attain
ing culture the campus could take,”
says Glen Burch, president of Ta
bard Inn. “It would stimulate the
function of amateur poetry and
creative writing on the campus.
Practically all colleges of any size
have a student magazine. The Uni
versity has grown to the place
where one is as necessary as a cam
pus newspaper.”
OFICERS RE-ELECTED
BY CAMPUS DEMOLAYS
The officers of the Councilor
club, campus organization of DeMo
lays, who have been serving during
the fall term of this school year
were unanimously re-elected for the
duration of the winter term at a
meeting held last Wednesday after
noon at the Craftsman club.
The officers of the club are:
Burton Nelson, president; Ed John
son, master councilor; Ed Brown,
senior councilor; Milo Hempy, jun
ior councilor: William Schulze,
scribe; and Ed Best, treasurer.
The installation of officers will
take place at a luncheon at the
Campa Shoppe next Tuesday noon.
Tickets ire not being sold for the
affair, but each one will order his
own meal separately. The club has
extended an invitation to all De
Molays on the campus to be pres
ent at the luncheon, and announce
ments to this effect are being made
at the various living organizations.
Food Preparation
Course Is Praised
By English Farmer
It ia a far cry from the Emer
ald to Leicester, England, but a
cowman, working on a farm there,
bridged it when ho wrote to ex
press his appreciation of the
courses in food selection and
preparation given by Miss Lilian
Tingle, head of the home eco
nomies department here. The
writer stated that he had read
the article in the Boston Chris
tian Science Monitor, which had
copied the article from the Em
erald.
The letter gives a glimpse of
the terrible food conditions exist
ing in England today. Hedge
hogs and other Unfit material are
being used for food because of
shortage. The writer expresses
the wish that there were “more
women like Miss Tingle” to help
people along these lines.
AT OREGON WELCOMED
Plans for Big Conference In
December Outlined
An unparalled opportunity for
service to the high schools of the
state is seen in the high school con
ference . to be held on the campus
December 4 and 5. At a meeting
of the full conference committee
held last night speakers outlined
clans for the sessions.
“There is no more significant
occasion on this campus than this
conference,” said Professor Pow
ers', assistant director of the ex
tension division, in addressing the
committee. “These 500 delegates
come down here to get something
and it is up to us to see that they
get it.”
Walter Malcolm, president of the
student body, told the committee
members that the impression the
university makes will be import
ant.
The administration of the Uni
versity, through Karl Onthank,
pledged support to the conference.
Each committee chairman report
ed that all details were being taken
care of in advance of the confer
ence. Welcoming students, hous
ing them, entertaining them at the
banquet and college night, were the
topics discussed by the chairman
in charge of each division of the
work.
Adrienne Hazard, chairman of
the booklet committee, announced
that copy is nearly all in for a
snappy, sixteen-page booklet to be
given the delegates and for use
during the year. The book will
contain,' besides, appropriate write
ups, pictures of the campus and a
number of ink pictures.
Anna DeWitt announced the pro
gram for the girls ’ league division
which is being sponsored by the
Woman’s League. One of the fea
tures of this part of the, confer
ence will be the annual style show,
which will be held Saturday morn
ing December 5, in Guild Hall.
Carl Dahl, general chairman of
the directorate, insisted that each
committee continue to do its alloted
part.
ONIONS ARE STUDIED
BY SENIOR IN ZOOLOGY
Onions are being grown by John
Eberhart, senior in the zoology de
partment, in an attempt to deter
mine the chemical processes under
lying the growth of plants and to
measure the progress made by the
onions each day.
The onion sets are placed in a
solution which contains all the food
elements necessary for growth, and
an accurate record of the increase
in size and changes in development
is- kept. Bull plants are best for
this experiment because they are
larger and easier to watch. This
is a new experiment, and if it does
not produce the desired informa
tion some other problem will be
used, Oscar Richards, of the zoo
logy department explained.
DANGER FACING
MODERN YOUTH
SEEN BY BISHOP
Mod e s t y, Conventionality
and Formality Safeguards,
Says Rev. W. T. Sumner
Plea Made For Observation
. Of ‘Ten Commandments;'
Decalogue Not Lengend
Maintaing that informality and
unconventionality do not necessar
ily spell immorality, Bt. Eev. Wal
ter T. Sumner, Protestant Episco
pal bishop of Oregon, in his assem
bly address yesterday expressed his
absolute confidence in the youth
of today. In opposition to the
present attack on youth which he
declared to be world wide, Bishop
Sumner said that youth today is
just as moral, as it was in the days
of his youth or any previous gener
ation, if not more so.
Bishop Sumner made a plea to
the students for more modesty, con
ventionality and formality, which,
he said, were safeguards. He called
for greater cooperation on the part
of students witA their parents,
warning students to listen to their
elders until such time they are able
to prove by experience that they
are right in their actions.
Many Believe In Youth
“There are those who believe in
youth. Be as good as they be
lieve,” Bishop Sumner pleaded.
“Those who revolt against conven
tion, which society has placed as
a safeguard to all, are doing a tre
mendous injustice by spreading
their influence to those who are not
so stable. It is a reflection on
fathers and mothers and an injus
tice to themselves, although the
actions may be meaningless and in
nocent on the transgressors’ part.”
“The Ten Commandments,” the
speaker concluded, “are not le
gends; they are still the command
ments of God, and those who vio
late them Will ipay the penalty.
Why we fail so in our life is be
cause of a spiritual convention,
based on some convention of a re
ligious nature, therefore I make a
plea that each of you have some
form of religious convention.”
Musical Numbers Given
Two highly appreciated numbers
were sung by Vivian Woodslde,
mezzo-soprano. Alfred Powers, as
sistant director of the extension
division, outlined plans for the an
nual Eoll Call of the American Bed
Cross, giving the functions of the
Ked Cross in time of peace. Steele
Winterer is in charge of the en
rollment, which will take place all
day Tuesday. Mr. Powers urged
all students to join. Dean John
Straub presided at the assembly,
and Dean H. D. Sheldon introduced
the speaker.

‘YELLOW FANG’ KILLED;
PUBLISHERS LOSE $60
Sigma ' Delta Chi “ Holding
Sack" After Plans Fail
Who censored Yellow Fang?
“Not I,” said the Prof. “By my
pencil and golf, did not censor Yel
low Fang.”
A funeral or a sale of the re
mains, is the question facing the
committee of Sigma Delta Chi
which published the Yellow. Fang.
There remains a vigorous editorial
policy, the committee says, a slight
ly biased news service, a sad case
of chagrin, 2000 Yellow Fangs and
a $60 printing bill. Sigma Delta
Chi holds the sack.
Before the Yellow Fangs were
published, plans were agreed upon
by which the Sigma Delta Chi com
mittee would work in conjunction
with the homecoming rally commit
tee. The rally committee was to
distribute the papers, help get
them out and share the expenses,
sight tjie homecoming chairman
was not notified of this arrange
ment. No place was left on the pro
gram for the salo of the Yellow
Fangs, which were censored by
“the powers,” late in the day. Con
sequently they were not sold and
Sigma Delta Chi holds the $60.
The publishing committee an
nounces 2000 guaranteed pure, cen
sored, cut and recut, Yellow Fangs
for salo. Soon the campus may
hear the cry, “Extra, Extra, send
a copy home to the family.”
THREE COLLEGES NEED
ZOOLOGY INSTRUCTORS
Three calls for men teachers of
college zoology have heori received
recently by Dr. H. B. Yocom, of
the biology department. They were
issued by Washington State Col
lege, the University of Wyoming,
and the University of Hawaii. Dr.
C. H. Edmondson, a former assist
ant professor of biology at the Uni
versity of Oregon, who is now at
the University of Hawaii, sent the
request from that place.
Dr. Yocom points out that the
idea that medicine is the only field
for students trained in zoology is a
mistaken one, and that demands
for zoology instructors are con
stantly being received.
LAST DAY OF WITHDRAWALS
Today is the last day that a stu
dent may withdraw from the Uni
versity without a special petition
signed by the registrar’s office.
Any student who fails to make the
proper arrangements with officials
before leaving school will be given
a grade of -‘IT” in all courses.

Large Turnout Is Expected
By Coach Leslie
Freshman basketball practico will
not officially start until the begin
ning of next term. Complications
which make it impossible to get the
men’s gymnasium at a desired timo
is the main cftuso for the few weeks
delay. Doughnut basketball, which
is played each afternoon, is now in
the middle of the second round and
it will probably bo sevoral weoks
before the champions of this series
is determined.
Yearling football was completed
last Friday with the Oregon Aggie
Rook game at Corvallis. A num
ber of freshman football men in
tend to report for basketball. The
coaches think that a few weeks rest
will do the men good. In addition
to men who have been playing
football, a number of freshman are
playing with teams in the Dough
nut league.
According to Coach “Spike” Les
lie, he wishes all men intending to
report for frosliman basketball to
play basketball during their sparo
time. He wants the men to bo ac
customed to handling tho ball.
Practice will start in earnest after
the Christmas holidays. Early work
will consist largely of fundamentals
and a general conditioning of tho
men. A largo turnout is expected
when the first call is issued and
coach Leslie will have several as
sistants to 'give personal help.
The first year men’s schedule is
now being arranged. This will in
clude four games with tho O. A. C.
Rooks, possibly two with tho Uni
versity of Washington babes and a
number wjth strong high school and
minor college fives of the state.
LATIN STUDENT VIEW
INTERESTING SLIDES
A trip over the Appian way,
through the forum of Borne and up
to historic Capitoline hill was the
experience of members of the Latin
club at a regular club meeting hold
Wednesday evening, at 7:30, in
room 107 Oregon building.
At this time Professor Frederic
S. Dunn, head of the Latin de
partment, showed stercopticon slides
to illustrate his lecture, “A Trip
Through Home.” Professor Dunn
has been in Rome and was able to
give his own experiences and im
pressions.
Ruins 'of majestic tombs, the
Claudian aqueducts, great towers
guarding the walls of Romo, the
Circus Maximus, the Coliseum in
which gladiatorial combats woro
staged, the arch of Titus, Capito
line hill and the.statuo of Marcus
Aurelius were among the slides
sho-^.
The speaker was introduced by
Francis F.' Powers, president of the
club, who spoke a few words in ap
preciation of the work of Profes
sor Dunn.
IW ASPIRANTS
FOR FIRST SQUAD
ON MAPLE COURT
Five Lettermen Available;
Members Of Last Year’s
Second Team Promising
Newly Designed Basketball
Shoe Overcomes Usual
Arch And Ankle Trouble
Tho lttro of tho maplo court is
now drawing its quota of athletes
who are turning their attention to
wards tho coining basketball sea
son. At 5“i00 o’clock each evening,
35 men are reporting for the pre
liminary workout. Of tho 35 men
working out, 5 aro lettormen from
last year’s successful team, nob
son, Gillen waters, Gunther, Jost and
Westergren.
A number of promising candi
dates for this year’s quintet are
from the varsity second team of
last year. In addition to those, a
number of men from last year’s
freshman team are out for varsity
berths. Powers, Joy, Walker, Bee
ney, and Eberhart . aro reporting
regularly. Threo men from the var
sity squad who aro now playing
football will roport afifcr tho com
pletion of tho season, namely, Car
ter, Kiminki and Reynolds.
Fundamentals Practiced
Practice for the rest of this
month will consist solely of condi
tioning and tho loarning of funda
mentals. Tho fundamentals of tho
hoop 'game are strongly emphasized
by Coach Rinehart. Ho believes
that a team with tho beginning
points of the gamo will develop in
to a scoring machine. Conditioning
of the men is another one of tho big
problems confronted by the coach.
Basketball practically takes mioro
intensive training than any other
branch of college athletics.
According to tho coach, pros
pocts for a winning season look
very good. He added, however,
that it was nearly impossible to
make any dofinite season forecast
at the beginning of practice. Roy
Okerberg, star center from last
year’s hoopsters and choice of
many sports writers for all-coast
center berth, was working out with
the varsity Tuesday. Okerborg is
not in school but has been visiting
on tho campus for several days.
In speaking of tho possibility of
Okerberg's return next torm, Coach
Rinehart said, “there is somo pos
sibility of Okerborg’s return next
sible chanco but as yet nothing
definite.”
New Special Shoe Used
A trouble that confronted overy
player early in tho season last year
—mainly foot trouble is being over
come this year by tho use of tho
newly designed basketball shoe by
Oregon’s versatile coach. This
piece of footwear is strongly sup
ported with an arch support, anklo
supports, and cushion insoles. Tho
sole of the shoo is baked to the up
per which is made of much strong
er but lighter material than the or
dinary shoe. This shoo has become
a permanent basketball equipment
and all varsity aspirants are equip
ped with such.
Tho possibilities of a barnstorm
ing trip during tho Christmas holi
days is still hanging free. Thore are,
however, somo chances of a state
or out of state Christmas vacation
tour.
