OFFER OF WIRELESS
Prefers Good Book as Time Killer to
News From Far Distant
Sources.
Captain Roald Amundsen, the dis
coverer of the South Foie, and fam
ous lecturer, who will speak in Eu
gene April 1, under the auspices ol
the University Y. M. C. A., has no
use for the modern safety appliances
for ships, as the wireless telegraph.
While in London, before sailing for
America, he had the following to say
to a New York Times correspondent:
"When that tour is finished,1' he
said in an interview on his arrival at
Dover, "1 shall turn again to the busi
ness of my life. Ihe Fram will then
be at San Francisco. Perhaps she
will be able to add to her varied ex
periences by going through the Pa
nama Canal. We shall start from
San Francisco in June, 1914, and hope
■ to get into the ice at Bering Straits
in September. Then we shall drift
perhaps for four, perhaps for five
, years, and we shall emerge, when the
time comes, between Spitzenbergen
■ and Greenland. There is a lot of work
to be done in those latitudes—purely
' scientific work—in sounding, dredg
ing, and meteorological observations.
"No, 1 do not propose to take an
r aeroplane with me, and. though 1 have
had the offers of wireless installation
1 for the Fram, that also I declined. 1
don’t care for it. It is very much
better to be without news when you
cannot be where the news comes
from. We are always more contented
if we get no news. A good book we
like, we exploiers. That is our best
emusement and our best time killer.”
CLUB CHOOSES SKETCH
Dramatic Club Will Put “Wig and
Gown” on boards at bex, January
17 and 18.
On the evenings of January 17 and
i8, a little skit, "the Wig' and Gown,

independently by the cast.
Y. M. C. A. PICKS DELEGATES
FOR FOREST GROVE MEETING
The regular cabinet meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. was held Wednesday
evening at the Book Exchange. Be
sides the regular order of business it
was decided that the following mem
bers should go as delegates to the
Forest Grove convention, which con
venes the last of this week: Charles
Koyl, John Black, Will Murphy, Wal
ter Hodge, and Harry Cash.
' Secretary Koyl sends out the fol
lowing report showing the amount of
aid the Y. M. C. A. is giving to stu
dents who are working their way
through college. From November to
December students were helped to the
extent of $4(31.55 from odd and reg
ular jobs. Since the opening of
school to date the Y. M. C. A. jobs
have amounted to $968. The Book
Exchange has helped to the extent of
$225, making to date a total of
$1,134.
The Cabinet also changed the reg
ular date for the Cabinet meetings
from Friday afternoon at 4 to Wed
nesday at 5 o’clock. This was done
to accommodate several members of
the Cabinet who were unable to at
tend the meetings at the previous
time.
According to statistics printed in
the “Student.” the weekly of the Uni
versity of North Dakota, the expense
of securing a University education
has increased twenty-three per cent
in the last twenty years. These sta
tistics were compiled from figures se
cured from seventy-five universities.
Lawrence Dinneen, ex-’15, now at
tending Reed Institute, will reenter
the University next fall.
HORR TAKES PLACE OF
ZEDNICK AS MANAGER
New Incumbent, Who Won Out Over
Four Other Candidates, Has
Record at Illinois.

Zednick.
Horr managed football at the Uni

cleared up a large debt and left the
association over $3,000 to the good.
He graduated from the Washington
Law School two years ago and was
a candidate for graduate manager
against Zednick last year. The new
manager is a practicing law'yer in
Seattle, but has announced that he
will give up his profession to man
age the Washington Associated Stu
dents.
He is a member of Phi Delta Phi
honorary law' fraternity and of Delta

coaches for baseball, basketball, and
wrestling, has hung tire depending on

once.
ASSIGNMENTS POSTED FOR

edition. Assignments for regular
and special articles have been posted
in the Book Exchange.

Poitland for engraving and will be
in Eugene on time next week for an
early publication of the issue. Among
them is a graphical representation
of the growth of the Association bud
get since the beginning of the religi
ous activity on the campus.
The staff will be much smaller than
last year, and no attempt will be made
to equal the size of last year’s pa
per. Manager Alfred Collier has de
cided to limit the edition next month
to six pages, which he hopes will al
low for profit, instead of a deficit as
was experienced last year.

paper man at least once a week.
HAYWARD DESPONDENT
OVER TRACK OUTLOOK
Three 11)12 Point Winners Return and
Only Distance Men Are
Plentiful.
"Though spring track training is
still two months away, the prospects
of a winning team as now outimeu art
not very encouraging, ' said "Dill
Hayward. "Only three old point win
ners are back in school, St ulfer in the
high jump, Neill in the discuss event,
and McClure in the distances. To a
great extent we will have to rely on
the 1' reshman class to supply men for
the sprints, the hurdles, the weights,
and the jumps.”
Among the Freshmen are some men
with enviable scholastic records. Sam
Cook of Couer d’Alene, is a sprinter,
and may develop into an exceedingly
good weight man. Yere Windnagie,
of Washington High, Portland, has a
scholastic half mile record of 1:55,
made last spiing, and he has demon
strated in the tall cross country that
he is going to be a leader in the dis
tances.
Of the old men, Ed Bailey is back,
but he will be out ol it for the ham
mer throw has been dropped from the
field events. Waldo Miller has been
working on the pole vault this fall,
and Tommy Boylen, an old man on
the quarter mile, has been out for
cross country. Johnny Parsons will
be expected to handle the broad jump
and Heidenreich the discus.
The loss of such men as Latourette
and Hawkins will necessarily result
in a weakness in the hurdles. Out
side of the Freshman class, Kay is the
only man mentioned for the sprints.
A glance over the whole list of
events at present gives Oregon a
strong place only in the distances.
With such men as McClure and Wind
nagie there should be some records
broken this spring. Chet Huggins
will be a further addition to the
squad next semester.
According to the schedule there
will be three conference meets, one
with Washington, May 9, Oregon
Agricultural College, May 24, and the
Conference meet at Walla Walla the
31st of the same month. Besides of
this there will be an indoor track
meet with Columbia University in
Portland, April 12, and possibly with
Multnomah here, the 26th of April.
FIRST NUMBER OF
“MONITOR” APPEARS
"Oregon System Among Greeks,"
Dean Straub's Contribution—Other
Profs Also Write.
Number 1 of volume 1 of the Uni
versity of Oregon Extension Monitor,
the official publication of the Univer
sity Correspondence School, appeareu
last week, it is under tne unection
of Professor Joseph Shafer. lne
pamphlet, 16 pages in size, is fur
nished free of charge to the students
of the Correspondence School for
their tuition.
The leading article in the first issue
is by Professor E. E. DeCou, on the
“Teaching of Mathematics.” In this
he traces its rise in importance in the
realm of science, and the mote recent]
movements in school organization for
its study. He has compiled a biblio
graphy for the use of teachers and
has set forth a general plan of normal
work for students.
Professor Straub has contributed
an article in which he attempts to
show that the Oregon System also
worried the ancient Greek philosoph
ers and statesmen. The editorial
page is taken up with an introductory
foreword by President Campbell, ir
which he sets forth the need that has
brought forth this pamphlet. The
University’s new field for work now
that Women Suffrage has been adopt
ed, is appreciated in an editorial.
The section “From the Field” is
taken up with contributed articles by
Carleton Spencer, on the studying of
Debate and Oratory. Discussions by
University students, and an article
on the use of the Library by Librar
ian Douglass are included.
Extension Notes, a short recount
of the work of Professor Itebec in the
field, is the concluding section.

DR. LEONARD AND MISS
HAIR SPEAK TO FACULTY
No Leniency Shown to Students in
Correspondence Study Work, Says
Dr. 11. B. Leonard.
“Correspondence work is of as much
benefit as any other form of study,
and yet takes less from the Univer
sity. said Dr. H. B. Leonard Tuesday
night in his talk at the Faculty Col
loquium meeting. He spoke in favor
of the Correspondence Department as
an important part of the University
courses. " 1 here is no leniency
shown, he continued, “toward the stu
uents taking these courses, and their
wot K must come up to the standard.
Of course, in grading the papers, the
people must have in mind, that there
are two kinds of instruction, that of
ex tent ion of courses, and that of spe
cial preparation.” He followed these
by examples, showing that different
! systems of grading ought to be used.
" 1 here is not the need for entrance
j examinations for those correspond
! cnee courses that there is in the reg
| ular college work. The student is not
j braced up and carried along by the
class, as he is in the class room, and
what he does is by his own effort and
work.”
In conclusion, Dr. Leonard said:
“The standard of work is just as high,
if not higher, than in the large class
es and although the correspondence
i work is a less economical process than
that of large bodies, it is so benefi
1 rial that it should be extended.”
Miss Mozelle Hair spoke at length
concerning the work of the correspon
ence department, describing compre
hensively the work done here and in
i other colleges.
I TAH UNIVERSITY HOLDS
DEBATE TRY-OUT
The fact that the audience consist
ed almost entirely of the judges and
themselves did not in the least damp
en the spirit of the eleven contestants
who argued saliently on different
phases of the immigration question
last night in an endeavor to make
the team that meets Oregon. The
judges, Professor Roylance, Professor
Reynolds, and Coach Holman, finally
selected Noall, Ashman, a “U” man,
Nelson, a “U” man, and Sevy. These
men will mork together on the ques
tion until about two weeks before the
debate, when the two who have shown
greatest ability and interest, will be
selected to actually represent Utah.
