THE OREO AN A. ‘ The managers of tlio Junior An nual are offering the year book to the students for a considerable re duction, the figure "quoted being $2.50. This rate has been in effect since plans were first made this fall by the present administration of the Oregana, but the number of stu dents who have responded up to date 1b so slight as to make necessary a special campaign for subscribers. However, It Is announced that the last date at which the Oregana can be secured at this lower rate will be on Thursday, April 30. This campaign should not be nec essary. The Oregana Is a college publication and is one which every studeut in the University should pat ronize, not only for the good which will be derived from It but also in order that similar publications in the future may be made possible. In addition the rate is offered Is most advantageous, and should be snap ped up by all who can possibly do ao. The bargalu rate Is being offered by the management in order that subscribers may have an incentive to turn In their names early, thus giving a line on the number of books which are to be printed, and also eliminating confusion at the last minute when the annuals are dis tributed. It is to be hoped that In the few days remaining, those who have not already signed up for the Junior year book will do so. CLOTHES. Recently the students of O. A. C. decided against tin* practice of wear lug full dress at formal dances. Now ‘.here is an agitation at Corvallis to bring tlfe claw ha minor0 coat back into vogue. Perhaps the students® at Oregon were wise after all In their decision last year to pass over the harrowing details of evening attire, and to leave the matter to the discre tion of the individual. NEW CX)UUSES. With the addition of the schools of Commerce and Architecture the University of Oregon curriculum will be materially strengthened and In consequence the work offered "ill be of greater benefit to the people of the state. Although the University will not attempt to establish a busi ness college or trade school, It will at any rate be enabled to give more satisfactory results to those of its supporters who Insist on educational results being measured in terms of ousiness efficiency, and who object lo the so-called cultural instruction as so much wasted t.me and energy. \vnile a majority 01 the secondary schools and universities of the coun try are undertaking to offer coftrses which will enable the student to con vert his education immediately into caslf, it is gratifying to realize that the Lnversuy of Oregon also is to be allowed these valuable practical ad ditions to its courses. The newspaper man is in a pecul iar position. He has from 2000 to dobo chances to make an ass of him self every day, and there is no gloss ing over his errors. The lawyer can nave his corrected by a higher court, the doctor buries his, but the news paper man is at the mercy of the public. Therefore if the writer makes a mistake now and then don't jump upon him. You don’t know how the newspa per man appreciates commendation now and then. If he has written something you like drop around and tell him so; he may not show you at the time that he appreciates it, but ne will appreciate it just the same. Ohio State University, April 9.— Blocked in his efforts to obtain an education, Sin Wan Fu, a native of China, now is held by the federal au thorities at Zanesville, Ohio, on the charge of being an undesirable alien. Fu came to this country last fall with the intention of entering Ohio State. Before he reached Columbus his meager funds ran out and he was forced to go to work in a laundry at Cambridge. COMMENCEMENT CHORUS TO MEET WEDNESDAY Concert to Be Held the Week Before Graduation Exercises The Commencement chorus will meet Wednesday, April 2 9, In Vll hird Hall. This chorus, assisted by the Commencement orchestra, is to give a concert on June 13, the Satur day evening before Commencement. All who can sing are cordially In vited to be present at the first prac tice and to join the chorus. It is hoped that a large chorus may be formed, and that a permanent or ganization may be effected so that work on much broader scale may be done next year. Since the concert comes so early .his year it is thought that many who will not be able to remain for commencement, will be able to Join the chorus. A very simple tryout may bo necessary. A “co-edition" of the Daily Nebras kan will soon appear. Forty men are out for baseball at Princeton. Michigan women have voted to hold a track meet.

S. Conklin, and hiB assistant, Dr. Dal lenbach. They are being assisted by their classes in experimental psy chology. In attempting an experiment or rather a research of this character it is necessary that from three to four hundred examples be taken in order that results of value may be obtained. As a result, the classes in psychology are all being subjected to the experi ment of telling of any superstitions that do or have affected their lives in the past. Also the members of the experimental classes are gathering examples from the fraternities and' clubs on the campus and from any one that is willing to be a subject. The questions put to the subjects relate to any superstitions that do at the present time or ever have, to their knowledge, affected their lives. The age at the time the superstitions were practiced is asked1 and in this manner information as to the influ ence and the causes will be obtained. Reasons for belief in superstitions is asked as well as reasons for not be lieving, as the case may be. A space on the papers which are handed to the subjects is reserved for remarks. No students are compelled to com play with the request of the psy chology experts but those that are willing to comply with It are urged to as the result of the investiga tion will be of permanent value and interest to scientific men of the fu ture as well as students in that de partment. o o o o - o Second annual underclass o LOCKER NO. 13 PROVES UNLUCKY FOR WELCH Varsity Pitcher Learns Some Things About Luck and Superstition Johnnie Welch, the Invincible star pitcher of the Varsity nine who has lost but one game In his two years at college, and locker No. 13 are not on speaking terms, and for reasons that are only too personal as well as evident to Johnnie. No. 13 was the card that Welch drew when the distribution of lock ers was made to the baseball men, aud at that time he thought little about the number. Before he had rounde<f into form this spring, he suffered a bruised heel which has not yet entirely heal ed and an injury to hJs leg which kept him off the diamond for several days and from pitching for over a week. While convalescing. Welch looking for something to lay the blame on, began looking up the record of his locker. a He discovered that said locker °hado been ocsupled this year by a number of men from football season on, and that each had suffered from various Injuries which at times threatened to keep them out of games. Upon this discovery, John nie proceeded to get another locker, declaring that perhaps locker No. 13 had nothing to do with it but was not taking any chances. Maurice H. Hyde and W. R. Holt, recently elected by the Sophomore class as editor-ln-chlef and manager, respectively, of the 1916 Oregana, have not appointed their staff yet. They say the staff will be announced In the Women's Edition of the Em erald. W. S. C. STUDENTS CROWN GEN. HUERTA IN EFFIGY March 500 Strong in Parade Through Streets of 0 Pullman Washington State College, Pull man, Wash., April 21.—Pullman was last night reminded of the proximity of war with Mexico when 500 stu dents, calling themselves "recruits from prexy’s army,” were mobilized on the college campus and marched through the principal streets shout ing defiance to Huerta. The amateur soldiers, armed with boards, barrel staves and fence rails in lieu of army rifles, gathered at 10 o’clock. Machine guns were manu factured on the spot, a 20-piece band was mustered in and the march be gan. As the band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner” every hat was in stantly off. When the regiment reached the business streets an ef figy of Huerta was burned on a tele phone pole amid cheers. Archibald Spiers, a recent addition to the stu dent body from England, mounted a box and called for nine “rahs” and a tiger for Wilson, and the cheers were given with a will. A huge bonfire revealed many citi zens and college officials who were “spotted” by “General” George Gan Qon and made to express their feel ings on the Mexican situation. The students then marched in review be fore the commandant. ANNUAL CO-ED DEBATE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY Managers Walker and Horr Have Disagreemnt in Re gard to Expenses The annual co-ed debate between the University of Oregon and Uni versity of Washington has been post poned indefinitely because of a mis understanding between Managers Dean Walker and Ralph Horr, as to who shall pay the expenses of the teams. It was found at a meeting yester day afternoon that Washington has been expecting that Oregon would pay both the expenses of the visit ing team and the expenses of her own team, in the double debate which was being planned. On the other hand, Oregon was under the Impression that it was Washington’s turn to pay her own expenses, on the ground that the contract which ran out last year be renewed for one year. This contract, which was the same as that of two years ago, agreed that the home team should pay the ex penses of the visiting team. By a slip in the contract Oregon paid her ovm expenses year before last when Washington should have paid them. To even this up, Wash ington paid her own last year. However, as It was agreed in a letter to Student Manager James Donald, that the old contract be ex tended for one year each school would pay the expenses of the other team. And In case of a single de bate this same rule would also hold good. “I think, however, that they will agree to a debate when they learn of our attitude in the matter, and that satisfactory arrangements can be made,” declared Coach Prescott. University of Washington.—And now the senior engineers have re belled against wearing caps and gowns! The senior class a month ago vot ed that all near graduates should wear cap* and gowns except law stu dents. Charging that t^e election was un fair, the senior engineers have come out with a signed ultimatum, in which they refused to comply with the action of the class. The senior laws were qjit in force atP the election, and it was due to their votes, it has been said, that the sule was passed exempting them selves only from the necessity of be ing adorned with the conventional garb. The athletic committee has ruled that Montana State College will have no baseball team this year. It seems that the University of Missoula had reported that they were supporting a baseball team and desired games with the college, but later It was learned that the supposedly college team at Missoula was receiving no studeut support. Consequently the State College has been deprived of having a team as there-would be no championship to fight for.
