BIG MEN AT OREGON Since the beginning of its history, the University of Oregon has pro duced a distinct type of men; big men; men who have made Oregon Spirit famous throughout the land. Are we, men of the present genera tion, doing our share to maintain and preserve this standard? Is it true, that Oregon is not producing, as of old, those of whom it may proudly be said, “lie is a big man here at Oregon?” Or can it be that we are merely in a lethargy, that we have lost inter est in the various lines of college ac tivity. Where are the men like Bernard Jakway, Homer Angell, and Jack La tourotte, football players and inter state debaters; Henry McKinney, football player, editor of Hie Weekly and Varsity orator; Ben Williams, crack athlete and orator; Earl Kil patrick and “Skipper" Nicholas, edi tors and debaters? Wo might men tion a score more of Oregon men who were big enough and versatile enough to engage in more than one line of activity. mil the number who center their attention upon one activity alone sinks into insignificance when com pared to the number who are doing absolutely nothing at all for the sake of their institution.

FRATERNITY POLITICS COSTS VICTOR ZEDNICIv HIS JOB Victor L. Zednick, graduate man ager of athletics at the University of Washington since 11)09, has announced that he will not be a candidate for re election. His term of office expires this year. Fraternity politics are given as the cause of his action. At present there are five aspirants for the office, all be longing to different fraternities, some graduates and some not. The elec tion was recently postponed on ac count of being unable to agree on a man, and in the meantime the situa tion was so framed up that Zednick was forced to acknowledge his de feat.

DUNN LECTURES ON OLD ROMAN FORUM 1 Address Is Informally given—Ruins Hard to Photograph, Plaint of Speaker. Professor F. S. Dunn continued his I series of lectures on art with an il lustrated talk on the “Roman Forum,” this afternoon. The lecture was of a more informal nature than those pre ceding it in the series. It took the form of a personally conducted tour with Professor Dunn as the guide, and with the pictures illustrating every new point of interest a real pic ture of the old Roman Forum was presented to the audience. The “tour” began at the Coliseum and Professor Dunn took his listeners from there through the whole maze of ruins, describing them and giving his little interesting sidelight on their history. The whole talk was given over to the Forum alone, and a com plete round was made of its attrac tions. Many of the old ruins have been reconstructed, so as to appear in their former shapes. Where the buildings have been rebuilt, pictures were shown of them in both their new and ruined aspect. In explaining his lecture Profes sor Dunn pointed out the difficulty of presenting a clear picture of the Forum as it was in Roman times. “The maze of ruins,” he said, “pre sents difficulties when taking photo graphs, and although the reconstruct ed buildings help in clearing up the situation yet it is hard to give an accurate portrayal of the Forum.” Following today’s lecture the re maining numbers of the series will be given on Tuesday afternoon instead of Thursday afternoon, as was the case before the holidays. NEWS STUDENTS^WILL EDIT PAPER AS EXAM Morning' Register for February 2, Will be “Hlue Book”—Amateurs to Have Entire Charge. As the final examination for the three classes in journalism Professor Allen has aria lged to have the en 'ire editing an 1 publication of the Morning P-gi-ter c" Sunday, Febru ary 2, done by his students, the first year class acting as reporters, while the second and third year classes will comprise the editorial staff. This is the first time that the prac-j tical work of the journalists has been carried to the extent of having com-j plete charge of one of the State’s largest morning papers. The staff as picked from the two first classes by Professor Allen, will be announced in a day or so. As soon as the appoint ments are made, the department edi tors will commence immediately upon the work. The students will gather the news, edit it. decide the editorial policy of the paper for that issue, write all heads, and dispose of the telegraphic matter. The regular management, however, will look after the business end of the paper. As a preliminary preparation for the task the two advance classes are studying the style, departments, and heads of a former Sunday edition. Hill Juneau, football coach of the Wisconsin All Western football team, is also basketball coach at the same institution.
