ORDER OF OMEN
VOTE TO RETAIN
DIAMOND SPORT
Baseball Is Held Slighted
A t Oregon; Indignation
Meeting First In Years
Decision Made To Circulate
Petition Among Students
For Ascertaining Opinion
By WEB JONES
An indignation meeting of the
Order of the “O,” held last even
ing in the Administration building,
unaminously voted a resolution to
keep baseball as an intercollegiate
sport at Oregon. -This was the first
indigniation meeting of the organi
zation in many years.
Petitions will be circulated by
the Order of the “0” today in order
to ascertain student opinion. “It
is necessary that the students take
a stand either for or against base
ball,” said Louie Anderson, presi
dent. “The stude'nt council did not
vote on the matter, it is up to the
students now to say whether they
want it. Petitions should be sign
ed and the organization wants ev
eryone to sign one way or the
other.” . i
Bleachers Lacking
The new $10,000 baseball field
which the University has taken so
much gains to build will be wasted
and will remain idle if the sport
is abolished it is pointed out. Be
fore, it has been the custom to
knock baseball because it was fin
ancially not a paying sport, but no
effort has been spent to build it
t
up. There has been no advertising
or work at all towards making it a
financial success. Bleachers have
been lacking and none of the ef
forts which was used to increase the
popularity of football were used
for baseball.
“The northern schools are not de
sirous of abolishing the sport and
are certain to keep it,” said Mr.
Anderson. “While at Seattle this
fall, I asked Tubby Graves, the
Washington baseball coach, and he
was all for the sport.” The ad
verse criticism is not coming from
other sources but originates at Ore
gon.
Many Turn Out
Baseball should have the same
privileges as track or basketball—
neither of which are paying sports
and which are paid for by the re
ceipts of football or from the As
sociated Student funds. Every year
125 men turn out for baseball and
they should be as privileged as the
football or basketball players. An
athlete who is a baseball player,
will not come to the institution if
he cannot play.
Basketball which ■ was formerly
a very unprofitable sport, by care
ful handling the past year, reached
a plane where it could almost pa^
for itself. It has been built up
from practically nothing until now
it will probably make money this
season. Baseball could be handled
the same way. With a new field
and new bleachers the interest in
the sport will be held.
The Order of the “O” will meet
at the “Ad” building at 12:45 to
day to arrange the circulation of
the petitions.

FRATERNITY TO GIVE
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
The Christmas program of Hu
Phi Epsilon will be given Thursday
evening, December 10 in the school
of music auditorium, at 8:15. This
program has been arranged by
John Stark Evans, and will be com
posed of Christmas music of sev
eral varieties.
A woman’s sextette will sing a
group of old Christmas carols, and
a stringed trio will render some vio
lin carols. Solos, vocal and instru
mental, will be featured during the
evening. The program promises to
be one of the most interesting and
enjoyable of all the musical events
of this term.
POSTAGE NOTES HIGHER
Students are asked by the post
office department to remember that
Christmas cards and all post cards
must bear 2c postage. In the rush
of the season, the new postal rates
are apt to be forgotten and the de
partment takes this opportunity to
remind everyone to bear in mind
the new scheduls. i
TURNER’S DELEGATES
FIRST TO REGISTER
To the Turner, Ore. high school,
goes the honor of having the first
delegates register for the sixth an
nual conference of high school stu
dents on the Oregon campus. This
came yesterday when shortly after
noon, two girls from that city ar
rived on the campus. They were
Doris Hillery and Roberta Wilson.
The school that is sending 'its
delegates the farthest is probably
Baker. Students from this school
came nearly 450 miles. Credit must
go also to Union high Bchool near
La Grande which, although only
25 miles closer, sends two students
and a faculty adviser from a stu
dent body of only 150.
MUST APPLY FOR DEGREE
All those who expect to apply
for a degree are requested to call
at the Registrar's office before
this term' is over and to register
for a degree. Failure to follow
regulations in this matter means
that the students will not receive
a degree.

DEBATERS PRACTICE
FOR 0. A. C. CONTEST
Chinese Question Subject Is
Chosen For Analysis
Five days are all that remain
before Oregon men meet Oregon
Agricultural College it the first in
tercollegiate debate of 'the year.
Under J. Stanley Gray, head of the
department of public speaking, the
four men on this p<»rt of the year’s
debate work are putting the fin
ishing touchos on their constructive
speeches as well as improving re
buttals.
Wednesday night, Dr." W. A.
Barnes of the history department
criticised the debaters as they went
through the debate in regard to
their analysis of the Chines® ques
tion, which is to be used in the
dual debate.
The question of foreign interven
tion in China’s affairs is one of
vital interest to people on >the
western slope of the American con
tinent, and it is increasing in
importance all the time. The prob
lem as it will be handled in the
coming debato resolves itself Into
a question of whether it is better
to immediately allow China to car
ry on the functions of its republic,
unassisted, or unhampered with, as
it is now by the foreign powers,
most of which rather oppose the
idea of relinquishing their claims
immediately.
Benoit McCroskey and B. V. Lud
ington compose the affirmative,
while Herschel Brown and Jack P.
McGuire constitute the negative.
This debate is the only one which
these men can participate in this
year. The other men on the four
teen man team selected Oc,tf>ber
30 will be used in later debates.

WEST HAILED AS COMING MUSIC
CENTER BY VOICE INSTRUCTOR
“No, I am not an Oregonian. I
probably woukln't have this sore
throat if I were—and they tell me
I can’t wear rubbers or I won’t
make a sorority.”
Eugene Carr, instructor in the
voice department of the school of
music, feigned great sorrow. Then
his dark eyes glowed with sincerity
as ho spoke of the Pacific Coast
as the “coming” musical section
of the United States.
“I believe, as many other be
lieve, that the time is coming when
the west will be just as good as
the east in the musical world. For
merly all students have felt it nec
essary to go to the east to study.
From there they go to Italy and
return with an Italian name. Then
before they come west they feel
that they must get press notices
from the great critics who are in
New York. It is only after this
achievement that they come to the
west.”
It is Mr. Carr’s belief that with
in a few years students from the
west will stay and work here and
win their fame.
“The demand is hero,” he said.
“Many great artists corner to the
west. The material is here, for I
see people in our own school of mu
sic who have just as great promise
of career as any artist in the con
cert series which we will hear this
year.
“It is advantageous that students
on the Pacific Coast remain here
and study. Those who are on the
ground floor now will be on the
ground floor when the west becomes
good. The country is young, and
they can grow with it,” Then he
added, “My beard is not gray
enough nor am I old enough to be
a prophet, but musicians and crit
ics in the east, where they are
flooded with young musicians, and
good ones too, hold thjp same view
concerning this section of the coun
try.”
It seems strange that with talent
and opportunity these promising
students are not heard of. Mr.
Carr explained this by saying, “We
do not hear of them because they
are afraid to work. Like all Am
ericans they are in too much of a
hurry. They expect to become great
in a year. They must take their
time, be more deliberate, work
harder. Richard Hageman, director
of the Chicago Opera said that
America could produce opera stars
and singers as great as those of
Italy, France or Germany but that
they were not willing to go through
what the foreigners go through.”
