ACACIA AND AVAVA
LAIR GREGORY OFFERS
CUP TO BEST BATTER IN
DOUGHNUT LEAGUE
Schedule Fixed and Rules Adopt
ed at Meeting of Committee
Last Night.
At a committee meeting of the Inter
Club Baseball League held in the Dorm
uory 1 uesday evening lots were drawn
by the cluo managers to determine the
opposing teams for the preliminary ser
ies, and important details in the rules
were discussed and agreed upon. 1 he
Acacia and the Avava fraternities, the
t,vo new entries in the league, will start
uie struggle tor the much-coveted
Doughmit Cup on next Saturday
morning.
Additional interest will be added to
the games this year ny the award of an
attractive silver cup to the batter mak
ing the highest average for the season.
To be eligible for this trophy a player
must come to bat at least twelve times.
1 he winner this year will have his name
engraved upon the cup and will have
possession for one year. The cup will
become the permanent property of any
player winning it three years in succes
sion. '1 he donor is L. H. Gregory.
I he question arose whether associate
members at the Dormitory should be
allowed to play on the team. As the
Dormitory Club outnumbers the other
clubs in membership it was considered
unfair to allow it to recruit players by
simply making them associate members.
It was finally decided to allow the
I lormitory to play any man who is now
an associate member, but all who join
during the remainder of the year are
ineligible. It was also decided that all
players must carry at least five hours
of work in the University.
Some difficulty was experienced in
determining who should be considered
members of the varsity team. Rule
one of the league regulations states that:
“All resident members of a fraternity
or club, including players who have
made or are trying for the varsity team,
are eligible to play in Inter-Fraternity
games, provided, that no such player
shall play in his regular position so
long as he is trying for or playing in
such position on the varsity, or during
the same season in which he made the
varsity. This rule, how'ever, shall not
be taken to apply to performances in
past seasons, but only during the sea
son of the present.” The interpretation
h\ed upon this rule was that any play
er who turns out and practices in a
poiiion shall be considered as trying for
that position, but as soon as the first
oy d is picked by the coach, till players
'a t in this squad may play in any po
"■'in on a club team.
By beginning at once and playing two
vames a week, Wednesday evening and
•' turday morning, the committee hopes
be ready for the final game for Jun
ior Week-End. If bad weather or var
o> games do not interfere, the games,
decided by lot, will be played on the
II Mowing dates:

MANY POINT WINNERS
MISSED AT W. S. C.
Washington State College, March 15,
— U . S. C. track dopsters are busy hg
uring on the outcome of the approach
ing season. Many of the old point win
ners are out of college this year. Put
nam graduated last June; Mead, the in
tercollegiate champion in the discus
throw is not in school this year; John
son, the half-mile man is now on his
homestead claim; and Cagle, the pole
vaulter and weight man, did not return
this semester.
1 lie rest of last year’s team will be
out for practice as soon as the weather
permits. Among the new material is
Anderson, of Seattle, in the weights
md javelin and Englehorn, of Spokane,
in the discus and weights, and Monroe,
of Spokane in the pole vault. Manager
Jones expects to make arrangements
for the team to meet all other confer
ence teams this year.
FIVE DOLLARS FOR
BEST TICKET SELLER
MANAGER STEELE WANTS
BIG CROWD OUT
AT DEBATE
A prize of live dollars to the person
selling tlie most tickets for the coming
Inter-state debate is part of the plan
idopted by Manager Steele to bring out
a large crowd in support of the Varsity
team.
Encouraged by the unusual interest
taken in debating this year and espec
ally at the Oregon-Utah debate last
January, Manager Steele is making a
strong effort to get 1000 yeople to at
tend the coming contest against Idaho.
Several students will canvas the down
town business district and it will take a
hustler to land the prize. Manager
Steele will not make an effort to sell
Tckets himself, but will leave the field
open to the competitors.
The conditions for entering the race
are that the contestant must agree to
sell at least five tickets. An additional
stimulus will be added by offering com
plimentary tickets to all who dispose of
ten or more.
The manager expects this method to
be more effective than an equal amount
spent on advertising. He also hopes to
see the clubs and fraternities support
him loyally as in the former debate. At
that time, two of the houses, the Sigma
Nu and the Beta Theta Pi, bought
tickets through their house managers
for every member.
M iss Emma Christman, of Portland,
Miss Bess Hendricks, of Cascade Locks,
•md Miss Anmida Bringman, of Port
land, are guests at Gamma Delta Gamma
this week.
Mr. Sargent’s lecture on higher criti
cism scheduled for last night was post
poned on acocunt of inability to secure
a room. It will l>e announced later.
May 14Ti has been chosen as campus
day at the University of Washington.
On that day the students will perform
the annual task of cleaning up the Uni
versity grounds.
WOMEN’S COUNCIL FILLS
NEED IN CO ED AFFAIRS
WILL HOLD OPEN MEET
ING IN VILLARD HALL
FRIDAY
Organization Formed to Repre
sent Women of University
Proves Usefulness.
At the meeting of the University
vVomen next Friday afternoun the con
sutution just adopted by the Women’s
Undergraduate Advisory Council will be
read and discussed and the purpose of
the organization explained. Every wo
man in the University is expected to
come and take part.
1 he Women’s Council was organized
at the beginning of the present college
year and is intended to be a permanent
organization of representative senior
women. Its functions are thus stated
in Article II of the constitution: " 1 he
purpose of this organization is three
fold : tirst, to promote clear, mutual un
derstanding between the faculty and the
women of the University; second, to
act in conjunction with the Student Af
fairs Committee, and as a medium
through which the sentiment of the wo
men of the student body can be made
known to that committee; and third, to
act as a place of origin for policies and
suggestions which especially concern the
women of the University, and as an
agent for carrying out such policies and
suggestions.”
For a long time before the organiza
tion of this council, a need was felt for
some means of reaching, individually,
the women of the student body. The
Student Affairs Committee were often
handicapped because they were unable to
determine the current public opinion of
the women of the student b )dy. Presi
dent Campbell realized this need more
clearly than any one else, and conceiv
ed the idea of a council of senior girls
which should meet it.
At his suggestion, the girls of the
senior class met and elected representa
tives to compose such a council. These
representatives organized themselves in
to a permanent body, “The Women’s
Undergraduate Advisory Council.” This
council meets on the second and fourth
Thursdays of each month in Professor
DeCou’s room. 1 he members are Ruth
Hansen, Frances Oberteuffer, Bertha
Dorris, Anne Bergman, Caroline Duns
top, Essie Sechrist, Pearl fluff, Vera
Horner, Pearl Hawthorne, Essie Haley,
Ethel Barnard, May Sage, Edith Pres
cott, Bertha Cummings, Kate Hender
son and Hazel Humphrey.
At the regular meetings of the Coun
cil questions are brought, up and dis
cussed which concern every girl in the
University. Some of the more import
ant of these questions will be discussed
at the open meeting in Villard Hall at
4 p. m. Friday, March 18th. Every Uni
versity woman is invited to be present.
Curtis Coleman >t last year’s baseball
t .mi arrived in Eugene yesterday after
noon and was out in a suit today, lie
will assist Coach Kelly in rounding out
the team for about two weeks before
joining the Tacoma Northwesters with
whom he will play again this year.
STUDENT BODY DANCE
EACH MONTH PROPOSED
An attempt is being made by the exec
utive committee to inaugurate a series
of informal student body dances, one
to be belli each month of the school
year, the idea being to maintain the old
spirit of democracy and friendship,
among the Oregon students, which has
characterized them in the past.
The committee in charge of the affair
petitioned today for the adoption of
such a system, the first dance to take
place April 30th. Those who attend
will be charged just enough to meet the
expense of the dances.
This idea was proposed early in the
year, but has been allowed to drag. It
seems to be gaining friends, however,
and will be taken up with energy if the
petition is granted by the Student Af
fairs Committee. The many events that
had been scheduled, such as the senior
dance, stood in the way for some time.
BIRDIE WISE LEADS
CO-ED DEBATINC TEAM
ONCE DEBATED AGAINST
LEADERS OF MEN’S
TEAMS
Coach Buchen has arranged the speak
ers on the co-ed debating team in the
following order: First speaker, Miss
Fay Clark; second, Miss Corine Deg
emark; closer, Miss Birdie Wise.
Miss Wise, who holds the position
anologous to captain of an athletic team
has probably had more experience in
practical debating than any other wom
an in College. In her senior year at
high school she led her team into the
final debate of the High School League
which is held at the University of Ore
gon in the spring. In her junior high
school year she was first colleague on
the team. Rather curiously, this team
debated a team from the Eugene High
School, of which the leaders of this
year’s triangular teams were members
Should the men and women debate this
year, as has been proposed, it would
not be the first encounter for at least
three of them.
The co-ed debate will be held in Seat
tle the first Friday in May. Oregon will
uphold the negative of the question,
which is the establishment of postal sav
ings banks.
The team will not begin regular work
together until after the triangular de
bates are over, as Coach Buchen will
have no time until after then.
TONIGHT’S RECITAL SAID
TO BE BEST OF YEAR
What is expected to be the best music
recital of the year is scheduled for to
night in Villard hall at eight o’clock,
when Miss Lila Prosser will appear
before tlie footlights, assisted by Miss
Edith Prescott, contralto.
Miss Prosser is is one of the most ac
complished artists on the piano in the
University and her many friends have
been looking forward to this occassion
for some time. Miss Prescott has a
! voice of exceptional quality and will add
I much to the evening’s entertainment. I

CENSORSHIP SCENTED
IN FACULTY ACTION
EXTRA—At the Junior Class
meting this afternoon, emphatic
resolutions were passed against

Faculty.
Some time ago the Faculty ap
pointed a committee to look into
the publication of the Junior book,
with a view, as they said, of aiding
in getting out the best book pos
sible. The committee demanded
that all matter pass through their
hands before it went to the print

acterize censorship.

are Professor Howe and Profes
sor Thurber.
