EARLY HAPPENINGS III NORTHWEST LAID BARE Oregon Country Rich in Romance, Says Professor Shafer in Port land Speech. “'Recent discoveries among British records indicate that the Oregon country was in its early history the scene of more romantic historical events than almost any other section in America, ' was the declaration made by Professor Joseph E. Shafer, of the University of Oregon, in a lec ture delivered recently at the Ir vington Club of Portland, upon the emergence of Oregon as a factor in National history. Professor Shafer produced several original manuscripts in his lecture, among which were a letter from John Jacob Astor to Thomas Jefferson and extracts from the diary of John Adams. He also introduced excerpts from many historical documents of interest, that have never been used in the compilation of the popular his tories of Oregon.” This is the first of a series of four lectures, in which Professor Shafer will discuss the Diplomatic History of Oregon. The remaining subjects to be discussed are: “The Policy of George Cenning,” “The Webster-Ash burton Negotiations,” and “The In fluence of Immigration Upon the Set tlement of the Oregon Question.” The lectures will be delivered bi-weekly both in Salem and Portland. U. OF W. WOMAN ANGRY Dean of Women Objects to News paper Treatment of Co-ed Athletic Events. University of Washington Co-eds and the Dean of Women at the Uni versity of Washington are up in arms over their treatment at the hands of metropolitan newspaper correspond ents regarding recent stories concern ing co-ed athletics. She would favor a censorship of the press. The Washington Daily says: “It is shameful that the young men of the University should totally dis regard the welfare of the University and the feelings of women students in their search for sensationalism,’’ said Miss Austin today. “Two sto ries have been published recently which are obnoxious to any refined woman, and have caused more than injured feelings on the part of those so ‘featured.’ ' “Such yarns are taken up by other metropolitan and college papers and bring criticism on the institution. I have been informed that a sorority, at a recent national convention, crit icised Washington for its crudity. The impression which that organiza tion got was from newpaper reports.” EUTAXIANSELECT 1 Lena Newton, of Eugene, Named for President—Balloting Shows Close Results. ► - Miss Lena Newton, of Eugene, ’13, ’ was elected President of the Eutax ians at their semi-annual election of, officers Tuesday evening, while Lucia i Macklin, of Portland, was chosen Vice-President, Norma Dobie, of • Eugene, Secretary; Assistant Secre tary.

An offer to assist in the formation of a trap shooting organization has been made to the University by the E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Powder Company, of Wilmington, Delaware. The plan is to send a representative of the company for the purpose of organization or coaching the shoot ers, which will be at no expense to the University. College Gun Clubs have been formed, and shooting has become a recognized sport at the University of California. Washington State College, "iale. Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Louisiana, and other universities and colleges, as well as preparatory schools. Should any interest be taken in trap shooting at the University, it is probable that a club may be formed. Anyone taking an interest in this sport may see Manager Geary con cerning the formation of a club.

WILLIAM MORSE RUMMEL MILL ACCOMPANY NORDIC A At her concert here on February 10. Nltne. Lillian Nordiea will be assisted by William Morse Rummel, who is rapidly winning fame as one of the great violinists of the day. Although still in his early twenties, Rununel has already won recognition from the musical public and the lead 1 ing musicians of the world. Young Rummel has played with marked suc j cess all over Europe, in recital as : well as to the accompaniment of the i big orchestras, receiving brilliant no tices everywhere. His playing is masterful, soulful and artistic. No artist of his age seems to promise more in the way of musical renown than does William Morse Rummel. No less an authority than Arthur Nikisch has said of him: “Rummel possesses a very beautiful tone and tremendous technic, and is musically throughout. In other words, he has all the qualities which are essential to hold a prominent position in the world of musical art.” (). A. C. REFUSES TO RUN U. OF O. (Continued from first page.) been tentatively set for May 10. Ore gon was asked to agree to this, in spite of the fact that the Oregon Washington track meet has been pre viously scheduled for this day. Geary declines to consider the changing of the date of the latter meet, because the state inter-scholastic meet occurs here the day before. It is now too late to change this. Under these circumstances neither Oregon nor Washington will partici pate in the California affair, unless the date be changed. An effort has been made to bring the all-coast meet to Portland this year. Corner Ninth and Willamette Broders Bros. Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Fresh, Corned and Smoked M EATS WILL G.
