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.

PSYCHOLOGY CLASSES
ATTEMPT EXPERIMENTS
Just Now Superstitions Are En
gaging Attention of
Students
A scientific Investigation in the
department of psychology, one of the
largest ever attempted at the Uni
versity and in a field In which very
little actual experimental work has
been done in the past, the field of
superstition and its bearing on our
lives, is now being conducted by
head of the department, Dr. E. 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.

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.
