STUDENTS PREFER ATHLETIC STORIES Opinions Voiced by Large Journalism Class Evidences Sporting Blood. The concensus of opinion among 40 students of a journalism class shows that the most popular “story’: in the Emerald of last Saturday was the one headed “Declares Lack of Rooting Lost Game,” a post mortem of the Oregon-Washington games by the Washington manager. It was' read by 24 men and three women, and! ignored by only two men and one women. The second best was the “big” story about the success of the University appropriation bills, read by 24 men and one women, and at least glanced through by all. McClure’s defeat at San Francisco came next with 25 readers and but one indifferent. Other stories in or der of diminishing favor were those headed, “U. of W. Wins Oregon Game,” “University Women to Fur nish Basketballs for Siuslaw Girls,” “Who is Parkison?” “Oregon Fresh man Becomes Explorer,” “All’s Well on Oregana, Says Rice,” and “What Albany Herald Thinks of Emerald.” The least popular article was “Eutaxians to Discuss Legislative Problem,” with four readers and sev enteen who ignored it entirely. Fol lowing in increasing order of popu larity were, “Travel Talk on Yose mite,” “Debaters are Shifted,” “Sen ior Play Arrangements,” Society, Editorial on Oregon Spirit, and Pro fessor McAlister’s road building dis covery. Stories best liked by women were stories about women. Women in the class read, “Women Endorse New Rules Made by Dean.” Society, how ever, had almost as small interest among women as men, although the rooting story was just as little read by them. Subjects especially inter esting to women readers were the "Siuslaw Girls,” “Program for Wo men’s Concert,” the “Oregana,” and “Senior Play.” Least popular among women was the Albany Herald’s opin ion of the Emerald. Four stories failed conspicuously to hold attention to the end; proposed amendment to Constitution attracted all 40 readers, but held only eight to the end; the editorial on Oregon spirit was read through by seven stu dents, all men; society was read by most of the girls, started by 19 men and finished by seven men; the dis covery of a road material was begun by few, and finished by six men. CUSS DESK BUSK First Sophomore Try-out Will Take Place March 15, and Freshman, March 22. With the arrival at the Library of a quantity of material upon the question for debate, active work is being done by members of the Fresh man and Sophomore classes in prep aration for the try-outs which will occur next month.

Among those intend ing to enter the contest at that time are: Gray McConnel, Maurice Hill, Juntos Donald, Clarence Ash, and Clarence Hrothorton.

AMUNDSEN DISCOVERS POLE III UNDERSHIRT Scantily Clad Explorer Relates Coast to Southern Axis of Earth. Roald Amundson discovered the! South Pole in his undershirt. The noted explorer, who will lecture in Villard Hall, April 1, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., declared that the sun was so hot that Decern-! ber day, that he was compelled toj realize his greatest achievement in an abbreviated costume. Speaking of the trip to the Pole, Amundson said, during an interview; in Chicago: “Our journey was very pleasant. We underwent no hardships to speak of. We had little trouble getting over the mountains, and great ice ranges, and then we came out on e high plateau, which sloped down in one smooth and unbroken expanse of hard, frozen snow to the pole. It was down hill all the way, and we were on skis. So you might say we tobogganed to the pole. The dogs had hard work to keep up with us.” When questioned as to the clothes he wore on the final dash, Amund sen replied: “Oh, yes, we wore a suit of light fall underwear, and oveg that a jerkin made of thin wool and silk, very thin and light and glossy. It might have been considered a nice costume for a game of tennis, except for our footwear. We wore seven pairs of socks, five of wool and two ol dog skin, with the hair inside. In the bottom of our boots were stuffec pads of dried grass.” The Y. M. C. A. management has recently received twelve hundred posters and handbills, and have pre pared a hundred original window cards, which will be used as soon as the ticket selling campaign starts next month, for the lecture that Amundsen will give on the campus. WILLIAMSON LECTURES Santa Ft* Railroad Man Describes Colorado Canyon and Yosemite Valley. Before an audience that comfort ably filled Villard Hall, Dr. C. D Williamson, traveling lecturer for the Santa Fe railroad, gave his “travel ogue,” “Little Jaunts Into Big Places,” Monday evening, illustrated with a collection of hand colored transparencies, many of which riv aled those shown last Wednesday morning by Samuel Hill, the road builder. Taking his audience with him first to the Cirand Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona, where he pointed out with word pictures what has been said to be the “greatest canyon chasm in the world.” Dr. Williamson, himself a noted explorer and traveler, des cribed the marvelous color effects made by the setting sun upon the weird rock formations of that “Land of Silence,” and compared it favor ably with the remote recesses of the Andes and Himalayas. The audience was then transported to the Yosemite Valley by the speak er who has collected many views ditlicult to obtain, of "Nature’s Mas terpiece,” as it was characterized by j Dr, Williamson. The speaker made j the statement that Yosemite was not the greatest thing in the world, but that one block of granite contained enough rock to rebuild the city of j New York and put a stone wall around it. All the beauties of the valley were displayed with accuracy and thoughtful description by Dr. Williamson. The lecture was free, given by the University to the people of Eugene.

HAYWARD TO GIVE CUP FOR UNDERCLASS MEET Correctiveness and perfection will be the test of supremacy in the Wo men’s Freshman and Sophomore meet, to be held just before spring vaca-1 tion. A cup has been offered by Bill Hayward. In order to interest the upperclass women in the meet, a cup has been of fered by Dr. Stuart.

The meet will be open to all col lege women, and invitations will be sent out as usual.

Too Much Competition. “Women’s athletics are too much on a competitive scale,” said M/iss Thomp son. “Women’s sports embrace toe much of the spirit of the men’s; toe much of the winning of one team from another. This is not the way women should look upon athletics. What a women needs is not so much the test of strength, but a body perfect in health and correctness. This will be the aim of Oregon’s association. Not to create interest in athletic and gym nastic sports for their own sakes, but to make a more efficient Oregon wo men. To attain high physical effi ciency by promoting interest in gym nastic and athletic activities. The association is to be entirely conduct ed by the women, under the guidance of the directors of the gymnasium.” The rules at first will be broad, but each year as the women are trained they will be more specific. An asso ciation with the aim to develop the body, will make as a class healthiei and stronger Oregon women. It will develop the play spirit, which be tween the ages of seventeen and twenty-five dies out in the western women. A variety of games, such as golf tennis, archery, and field hockey will be played, so that all will be inter ested. Dr. Stuart and Miss Thompson de clare that if the women show inter est in this and co-operate with them that Oregon’s association will be heard of all over the States. STUDENTS PASS AMENDMENTS (Continued from first page.) section was further amended by the students yesterday mjorning to in clude track and base ball. This re wind of athletic merit is in use at several of the larger universities of the country. In Division 111, publications, the whole department of the Oregon Monthly was stricken out. Amendment to Section 4, of Article 111, provides that both the editor-in chief and the business manager of the Emerald receive one hundred dollars a year, anil fifteen per cent each of any surplus after all expenses are paid. In case the earnings are not sufficient to pay these men the amount earned over other expenses shall be divided between them. Also the election of assistants was taken out of the hands of the Student Body and executive committee by a change in Article II. To Division IV, Glee Club, was added Article VI, to govern the Wo men’s Choral Club by the same provi sions that apply to the Glee Club, except that the members will not be entitled to emblems. Debaters also came in for better recognition by the addition of Sec tion 2 to Article 11. of this, the fifth division, providing that an official Oratory and Debate shield be award ed to any representative in intercol legiate oratory debate who has won three official emblems in any one en terprise. These changes will go into effect in September of the 1913-14. college year.
