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from many historical documents of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

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.”

STUDENT GUN GLUB
IMV BE ORGANIZED
Du Pont Powder Company Offers to
Encourage Trap Shooting at
University.
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.

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.”

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.
