125 RECEIVE POSTS Circular Also Sent to Pupils Who Do Inefficient Work. Most Delin quents are Freshmen According to a statement made by Dean Straub last evening, 125 stu dents have received notices of defi cient work, a majority of whom are from the Freshman class. Circular letters have also been sent to the parents, advisinjg them of the pupils’ unsatisfactory work. “While there are one or two Pro fessors yet to be heard from,” contin ued the Dean, “I am sure that the number of failures is less than the corresponding month last year. “The fact that the method of study here is not the same as Freshmen have been accustomed to, accounts for the large number from that class receiving posts. Many of the lessons in high school are prepared entirely inside the school. Furthermore, lec ture courses are new to them and they fall down in note taking. “The information sent to the homes consists in showing the nature and value of posts. I will also ask that the parents send letters of encourage ment to the students. “Being posted the first time is not necessarily serious; two in the same subject, however, are dangerous, and the presumption in the case of the third is failure.” IXTEISION LECTURES Fourteen Faculty Members Will Speak in as Many Places \ This Week End Dr. C.

OREGON BUILDING ONE OF MOST BEAUTIFUL SAYS EATON The Oregon building at the Pana ma-Pacific Exposition is one of the most beautiful, and is certainly the most striking of any of the state buildings there,” said Mr. Allen Ea ton to his class in Art Appreciation last Thursday. Mr. Eaton has charge of the art exhibit, which is to be in the Oregon building at the exposition, and has been giving much of his time and ef fort toward making the Oregon art exhibit the best state art exhibit at the exposition. Last Thursday he took up the time with his classes with a description of the Oregon building and grounds, and especially of the art room. The grounds about the building are planted with native Oregon shrubs and flowering bushes. The building is planned somewhat after the old Greek Parthenon, although it is not intend ed to represent it or imitate it, since the purpose of the building is not to be an exhibition itself, but to be a place for exhibits. The structure is of rough logs and is 250 feet long by 160 feet wide. Aoout the building are 48 columns, 40 feet high and six feet in diame ter, and cedar forests, giving the building a striking effect. A balcony rtlns around the structure and upon this rest potted pink ivy geraniums, which take away any appearance of gloom that might be caused by the very dark color of the building. The art room is on the top floor, and is 90 feet long by 25 feet wide. To overcome the railroad tunnel ef fect, the room is in three divisions. The floor is of native Oregon fir, the beams of the ceiling are Oregon cedar. The hangings on the walls are to be made of a kind of monk cloth woven at the Salem woolen mills, the rugs are to be woven in the Oregon City woolen mills from Oregon wool; in fact, everything going toward the construction or furnishing of the room will represent Oregon resources. Even the window curtains are to be made of wool grown on Oregon sheep. The color scheme of the art room will be almost Quaker-like in its sim plicity. The wall hangings are to be of a mouse gray, to give a good back, ground to the oil paintings and other pictures; the window curtains, old rose, and the rugs, gray and old rose, with perhaps some blue. The furnishings and exhibits of the room will consist of a table and six chairs made of Coos Bay myrtle, wil low-ware from Hillsboro, the work manship of which is as fine as can be found, pottery, basketry, metal work, potted flowers, oil paintings, etchings, water colors, photographs, and many other works of art which may be found in Oregon. At present, the plan is to give the middle division of the room, which is the largest, over to oil paintings, one of the end divis ions to photographs and the other to etchings and water colors. This plan is, however, not final The pottery, basket work, etc., will be placed upon a shelf which runs around the room about two and one-half feet from the floor. DR STARR RIDICULES WIL SON’S “WATCHFUL WAITING” (Continued from page 1.) or Vice President, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs automatically be comes President. So when Madero and Suarez were murdered De La Bar ra automatically became President. He remained in power just thirty-five minutes, but long enough to appoint a new cabinet. He then resigned and Huerta, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, appointed by the short order Presi dent, became the resident. And he came into office honestly. I do not think Huerta knew about the plot against Madero. “Now when Huerta came to power he was recognized by most of the leading nations, but President Wil son said he would not recognize a > man whose hands were stained with blood. Wilson did not need to, other nations had. But instead of stop ping here, he went further and sent John Lind to Mexico, demanding, first that the country come to peace at once; second that an election must be held at once; third that Huerta must get. out; and fourth that Huer a must never run for office again. Lind was not the man to carry the£ message. So what happened? We were diplomatically beaten. “There is only one thing worse than sending an army against a nation, and that is to interfere with a na tion’s internal affairs. And this is what Wilson did. “Even with these demands, Huerta remained and showed no inclination to go. Wilson was discomfited. Fin ally the embargo on arms into Mex ico was lifted to aid the rebels, and when Wilson found out Huerta was negotiating a loan from prominent ankers of the world, he told them he would do nothing to encourage the payment of the loan in case ‘that old Indian’ defaulted. “And then came the Tampico inci dent, a ridiculous affair, and here again we were defeated in diplomacy. But the incident was used as an ex cuse to seize Vera Cruz. Well, we got it, and we still have it, and we don’t know what to do with it. “But the pressure became too great, and Huerta was forced to leave. “He did not leave secretly, how ever, and in fear of assassination. No, he left as a popular idol. We put Carranza in power, and Carranza is no man to hold the power of govern ment. He is absolutely worthless, and Villa, his running mate, is of the same class. Villa’s hands, as compared with Huerta’s, are as red blood compared with snow. Villa and Carranza are not real constitutionalists. They are both from the deserts of the north, and the men who will solve the prob lems of Mexico will never come from the deserts. “Villa and Carranza are going to run things in Mexico now. Yes, they will. Things are now conducted along the most anarchistic lines; chaos is resulting; Carranza and Villa don’t know anything, but they are the re sult of our little whim. “A new election has just been held in Mexico, and now there are two Presidents down there. It is an nounced civil war will result. We are responsible for it. But the thing for us to do is to let Mexico alone alto gether. There are many good men down there who can solve the prob lems and do it successfully.” The lecture went over the hour pe riod of 10:00 o’clock, but the applause was so great that Dr. Starr continued and at the end illustrated his points with lantern slides. *********** * SAVOY THEATER * * Where Paramount Pictures Play * * For Thursday * * “The Underground River,” the * * nineteenth episode o fthe Million * * Dollar Mystery. * * Our Mutual Girl,” chapter 37. * * “Fatty’s' Gift,” a funny Key- * * stone Comedy. * * “False Gods,” American Fea- * * ture play. * * Saturday Special * * “The Waif” * * A big 6-reel electric hand nat- * * ural colored electric production. * *********** L A D I ES’ Goals, Sills ml Hlllliiii In the prevailing Fall Styles.
