OKLAHOMA C7Y SENIOR Stake Pins for 1914 That the $40000 bridge west of Norman on the Canadian did not share the fate of a half dozen or more of other bridges on the rampaging stream yesterday is due partly at least to the work of University students in the Signal and Engineer corps is the belief of farmers and business men of the Norman section About thirty members of the corps who are also students in the College of Engineering spent the entire day during the height of the flood that took out several railroad bridges and threatened this one at any minute cutting away the brush wood whole trees that had been uprooted and carried down the torrent from around the concrete pillars of the bridge The body of men in uniform worked the entire day in keeping floating trees from collecting above the structure leaving at dark last night after the water had fallen six feet and the danger to the bridge was thought to be over The men used ropes and grappling hooks to steer the great uprooted trees from near the peers of the bridge However it sometimes became necessary to get down on the drifts and cut away parts of the floating timber that became lodged on the upstream side of the structure A number of the men took turns at this dangerous work and kept the peers clear until the crest of the flood had passed Charles Carey who was with others at the work all day said farmers and business men here spent $40000 on this bridge last year and we had to keep it from going out if we could do Large numbers of students and townspeople from Norman went to the river yesterday to see it when she was on one of her big With little rain in this country the river rose in four hours from a little stream thirty feet wide and two or three feet deep to a torrent a mile wide and in some places twenty or more feet deep and with almost the force of a mill race The river hed is loose sand but the roaring of the water traveling from fifteen to twenty-four miles per hour could he heard in town three miles away Geologists declare the Canadian is without an equal among the streams of the world It is the only one that six hundred miles from its headwaters in the Rockies can rise in so short a time from a dry bed of sand to a raging torrent that carries bridges and trees alike with it STUDIO The Photographer NOW READY A GEOLOGY PARTY RETURNS FORGET MOFFETT When in

political future is blasted If you have fought the fight squarely and the votes for some reason you do not see just refuse to come your way but drift off into a landslide for your opponent forget the whole thing If you have not played the game in the open you will want to forget also If you do win do not think that this student approval has placed you above that of the other fellow who did not happen to come out at the head of the ticket Maybe that last man you hustled out to the polls is all that lies between your success and his apparent failure If you win the fight fairly you may well feel that you have received some recognition for a student community is a critical one If you win along with others in a or by other election trickery you must feel some little tinge of shame when you are alone and honest with yourself as a man Whether you win or not is not so important after all Whether or not you were elected vice-president of the Student Association of the University of Oklahoma over John Jones by one vote will not have much weight when a board of directors are considering your fitness for president of a future railroad or when you are asking for a position as third assistant clerk to the second vice-president The world will be apt to test your ability in a far different way The thing that counts is the way you played the game The mental and moral attitude is the thing that leaves the stamp on you If you played fair this first impression will aid in directing your future efforts in the right channel and if you did not it may lead you into more undersiable traits

crowd that has yet made the semi-annual trip from the University to the Arbuckles returned from their four days tramping in the mountains at 6:31 Saturday night One hundred and seven made the trip including every member of both the Geology 1 and Geology 2 classes three regular professors in the subject of geology the official chaperone and a number of guests Two special cars were furnished by the Santa Fe for the students one for the baggage and one for passengers Switch was again the stopping place The four days of study of geology by nature was in charge of Dr Irving Perrine Prof Taylor and Mr A McCoy Mrs Dungan acted as chaperone The guest list included Misses Jane Griffin Nemo McGuire and Cherokee Boles and Messrs Bourke Bayless Ray Flood Forest Geyer and Otto Wetzel The trip was not without the incidents which make the semi-annual affair an interesting one One boy discovered that a travertine slope is very smooth when he found himself sliding over it without being able to stop his progress over a waterfall A party of drunken citizens gave to the girls a little scare and to those of the sterher sex an opportunity of showing their valor This opportunity of displaying the valor however consisted solely in doing sentinel duty during the night WEST SIDE BAKERY THE LEADER In firstclass Bread Cakes Pies and Fine Pastries All orders given prompt attention Phone 333 Arrow

the Notre Dame football team was losing his Subscribe for university Oklahoman Subscribe for the University Oklahoman There have been instances in which the treasurers of classes and other student organizations have failed to account for funds intrusted in their hands There are other instances much more numerous in which there have been rumors of funds being missapplied There is an ever present possibility that irresponsible students may improperly use the money placed in their keeping by fellow students It is always easy for the suspicion of such a misconduct whether founded upon sufficient reason or not to gain some consideration from those who are not in possession of all the facts The reliable student treasurer would welcome some system by which the stamp of approval may be placed on his accounts He would feel better if hd knew that no one could suspect that he has spent one cent of the money of others in any way he was not authorized to spend it These things point the way to some needed legislation The Studdnt Council has already provided a system of auditing the accounts of the Sooner the biggest of the student enterprises in which there has been no definite way of looking over financial conduct of the managers Some such system of auditing the accounts should be extended to all student organizations The treasurer of the University or a special auditing committee provided by the Student Council should each year go over the books of student organizations and place the stamp of approval or disapproval on the way treasurers have handled the funds intrusted to them Such a policy would tend to narrow the possibility of student funds being misapplied and would give to the reliable treasurer an official approval of his work that would be an absolute bar to any
