VARSITY BOOK STORE DOES BIG BUSINESS Last September the University of Or egon started its own bok store, with the Librarian and student help in charge. So far the store has handled between L .000 and $8,000 worth of text books to the satisfaction of both faculty and students. Mr. Douglas, the Librarian, in speak tog of the matter, said: “The idea in starting the store was to solve the diffi culties of the professors in securing the text books which they needed promptly and without the usual delay. We al ready had utilities for getting in touch v ith the publishing companies, and it made the work in that respect less trou ble, though of course it means added 'v ,rk for the Librarian. We hope by Me end of the year to come out with a 1 lance on the side of the book store. “At the present supplies, such as pen ens, note-boks, etc., are not handled here. The down town merchants wished fo still handle those supplies. And I tnink being located as it is on the cam Pl's, the book store fills a needed want.” 1 he women of the University of Min nesota have started a campaign to se cure the right of voting in the athletic association elections.

LYNCH LIKES PROSPECTS S ys Oregon Men Show Up Well —Will Pick Two Teams Monday Paul Lynch, of Syracuse, Oregon’s new baseball coach, is enthusiastic over the prospects for a winning team this year. When interviewed this afternoon, Coach Lynch said: “I like the way the boys meet the ball on the nose, and I am going to exert all my efforts to de velop a hard hitting club. I am not yet entirely familiar with my men. but for so early in the season they certainly look good. Because of the number of enthusiasts who are turning out, the squad is still a trifle unwieldy, but 1 will cut it down to about twenty-two men Monday afternoon. 1 intend to work a first and second team, but will not attempt to line them up tor a game before next Saturday. “For the battery, the material turning out is good, but there are not enough men trying out in that department. For pitchers, T am trying Cozens, Peet and Houck; for catchers, Taylor, Broughton and Word. “It is still a little early to give any favorable or unfavorable individual men tion, but I am well satisfied.” ISSUE IN JUNIOR WEEK Birdie Wise Appoints Staff Mem bers for Each Classi—Friday of Week End the Date “The Women’s Edition of the Em erald will be ready Friday of Junior Week End.” These are the words of Editor in Chief Birdie Wise, thus set tling definitely all controversy over the date of issue.

Burleigh Cash, member of last year’s debating team, was in Eugene last week attending to the sale of the property of the once famous Hood River Bachelors’ Club. When college opened two yreas ago, Burleigh Cash, Jack Luckey, Albert Gar rabrant and Clyde Pajttee, lull 'from Hood River, organized the Hood River Bachelors’ Club, bought a lot on Uni versity avenue on the installment plan, built a “shack” for a small sum, and lived there for from eight to ten dol lars a month, when it was costing stu dents outside from ten to twenty dol lars. Last year, with another member, they did even better; but this fall the organization was broken up on account of three members not retaurning to col lege and the rest going into fraterni ties and the dormitory, so the lot and building was advertised for sale. The club spent about two hundred and fifty dollars on the property all told, and sold it for four hundred, a substantial profit, not to consider the saving real ized in the cost of living while they lived there.

TENNIS SEASON TO BEGIN One Inter-Collegiate Meet Will be Held This Year In Eugene The tennis season starts early this year with the handicap tournament, which will be begun ini the near future. This, while giving something of a line on the tennis material in college, will not be entirely relied upon to furnish information of this sort, and will be immediately followed by a tryout for Varsity men. The Varsity tryout con sists of a series of matches to he played by those who have aspirations for the team. The three men making the best showing in this tournament will be pit ted against the college champions of last year, Stine and Newland, and from these finals Oregon’s representatives for the coming season will be chosen. Only one conference meet is to be I held this spring, owing to the lack of ] interest shown in tennis by the other ! colleges and universities. Washington I State University will play Oregon on the home court during Junior Week End. According to conference rules, there will be five matches run off, four sets of sin gles and one of doubles. It is possible that several tournaments may be arranged for with non-confer ence schools, but this as yet remains un settled. Mr. Arthur R. Priest, of Seattle, un til recently dean of the College of Lib eral Arts at the University of Washing ton, visited at the Delta Sigma house Friday evening. SPENCER DECIDES EO DROP KIS GONTENTION CONCEDES FIRST PLACE IN CONTEST TO ROBISON PUIS AN END TO HEATED CONTROVERSY • Executive Committee Decides That It Has No Authority to Call New Tryout Carlton Spencer has decided not to carry the contention for a new tryout for the Inter-State Oratorical Contest to the student body, as it was rumored yesterday he would, hut will let the mat ter drop and concede the position to Charles Robison, in whose favor the final decision of the judges was made. This ends what has been for the past two weeks one of the most interesting contentions on the campus. Spencer, dissatisfied with the decision of the judges in the Inter-State tryout, ap pealed to the executive committee for a new tryout, which was granted by that committee, hut later rescinded; the committee holding that it had no con stitutional right to interfere. Spencer then decided to take the matter direct to the student body, hut, on further de liberation, decided to let the whole mat ter drop. He says: “Although 1 have every reason to be lieve that the constitution of the Asso ciated Students bears me out, and that if it came to a settlement on th ceatual merits of the case, 1 should receive a favorable decision, yet in order to pre vent a rupture in the student body, l shall do all in my power to prevent fur ther conflict over the matter.” The whole contention hinged on whether the decision should have fol lowed the traditional method, that of declaring the contestant victorious who had the highest percentage, when rank ing resulted in a tie, or whether the contention of the University, for the last three years, that a contestant having four firsts out of six ought to be de clared winner, should have been ob served. rfhe former would have given Spencer first by eight one-hundreths, and the second made Robison Oregon's Inter-State orator. Each side is firm ly convinced that its contention is cor rect. The constitution of the Associ ated Students says nothing of the meth od of judging oratorical contests, be yond providing that the decision shall he based upon delivery and composition. GREG STARS AS DOUBLE DYED VILLAIN AT U. of W Lair H. Gregory, some time a fellow student at Oregon University, father of inter-frat baseball, mission worker, and perpetrator of the deceased Doughnut, is giving new and abundant proof of his versatility, in his meteoric career at Washington this year. Besides editing the Washingtonian, the college literary magazine, serving as associate editor of the Daily, and performing divers and sundry other important functions, Greg last night trod the boards as the chief villain in the Varsity Press Club's “High Jinx.” The name of the intense melodrama was “Gentleman Joe,” and Greg took the role of Cherokee Dan, the double-eyed villain, who 'met a Trampas-like end in the frontier re freshment emporium. The production is reported to have been a very suc cessful and clever take-off on Western melodramas
