    INTER-CLASS DERATE
TRY-OUTS POSTPONED
Early Christmas Vacation Necessitates
Changing of the Date from
Jan. 29 to Feb. 12 or 19
“Owing to the early Christmas va
cation, necessitating the postponement
of the Sophomore tryout, the annual
underclass debate will probably be
held on February 12 or 19, instead of
January 2, as scheduled.
This was. decided at a joint meet
ing of the Freshman and Sophomore
debate committees, Wednesday night.
The Sophomore committee is com
posed of Nicholas Jaureguy, Martin
Nelson, Ernest Watkins and Milton
Stoddard; Jimmy Sheehy, Turner Neil,
McDonald and Kenneth" Moores rep
resent the Freshmen.
Each squad is divided into three af
firmative speakers and three negative
speakers. Affirmative debaters for the
Sophomores are Milton Stoddard, Clin
ton Thienes and Henry Thorsett; ar
guers on the negative will be Robert
McMurray, Howard McCulloch and
George Colton. “Pro” debaters for
the Freshmen are Jimmy Sheehy, Fred
Packwood and Joe Hedges, while the
“con-ers” are Ed. Thomas, Ed. Gar
bade and Ernest Nail.
WOULD-BE ACTORS DECIDE
NOT TO GO ON ORPHEUM
Paul Sprague, wih|0, accompanied
by Melvin Jordan and Raeman Flem
ing, left a week ago for Portland to
go on the Orpheum circuit, returned
Sunday.
“We found,” said Sprague, “that
the tryouts for the Orpheum were
held in San Francisco and the tryouts
for the Pantages in Seattle. We did
not consider it worth the trouble to
make either of these trips.”
Neither Jordan nor Fleming are ex
pected back in college. According to
Sprague, unless all three of the boys
are together, none of them go on the
stage.
DEDICATION OF*ADMINISTRA
TION BUILDING TO BE, DECIDED
The Board of Regents have not tak
en action concerning the dedication of
the Administration Building. Presi
dent P. L. Campbell said, in speak
ing of the affair:
“The Administration Building will
undoubtedly be dedicated to some pe^
son not living, as has always been the
custom. No building on the campus
has been dedicated by the Board of
Regents to anyone living. At the
next meeting of the Board, in Feb
ruary, this matter will be brought up
and decided.”
FRATERNITY GRADES MAY BE
PUBLISHED BOTH SEMESTERS
Registrar A. R. Tiffany is consider
ing publishing the fraternity grades
for the second semester as well as the
first.
“This is a fine thing,” said Mr. Tif
fany. "If the grades are published
for the second semester too it will keep
the students up in their studies all
year, while if the grades were com
piled only once a year, the interest
would die down and the grades would
suffer accordingly.”
Formerly the grades of the various
fraternities were published in the Em
erald at the end of the first semester
in the order of the highest standing.
ROCK TIDE CAUSE OF
EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY
(Continued from per* l.)
quakes have occurred in that region,”
said Dr. Smith.
Some interesting facts connected
with earthquakes are shown in the San
Francisco earthquake, when a fruit
line 190 miles long, with a displace
ment along the fault of from one to
15 foet occurred. During un earth
quake in Mexico and Sonora in 1887
u crack 100 miles long, with u fault
of eight feet, was produced An earth
quake in Sicily in 1G93 killed 100,000
people.

MISS WATSON LECTURES ON
LIFE AND WORK OF MUIR
The Life and Work of John Muir
was the topic of a lecture given be
fore the student class at the Metho
dist Church by Miss Mary Watson, of
the English Department, Sunday
morning. This lecture was the sec
ond given in connection with Professor
Sweetser’s class, which is studying
the Bible of Nature. In a closing
summary, Miss Watson said:
“John Muir is a man who may be
classed among the first of the natural
scientists. With the exception of Dar
win, he was probably closer to nature
than any other man of the past gen
eration and contributed more to the
explanations of earthly phenomena
than any of his predecessors. In late
years he was the one authority on
the Sierras and the Yosemite Valley.
His explorations in Alaska will al
ways be known by the Muir Glacier,
which bears his name.”
John Muir attended school at the
University of Michigan, but never re
ceived his B. A. degree. Later, how
ever, that institution gave him three
honorary degrees for his wonderful
work. Muir was an inventor, a pro
fessor and a scientist.
Next Sunday Professor Smith, of the
Geology Department, will speak on
the life and work of Hugh Miller.

DEBATERS WORKING
UNDER DIFFICULTIES
Outside Employment Handicaps Var
N sity Orators in Preparing for
Meet With O. A. C.
“If we are prepared when the final
test comes, it will be only at immense
sacrifice,” said Mr. Prescott in speak
ing of the debaters’ work prepara
tory to the contests with O A. C. on
February 19.
“The men have had a hard time to
get together for work on account of
conflicts. Necessity to make their
living is the chief source of this in
terference. Most of them, working
their way through school, must work
from three to six hours a day, be
sides keeping up in 16 hours of Uni
versity study, which, in itself, is no
mean job. Because of this the teams
are working under a great handicap.
“Could the faculty and students of
the University realize the sacrifices
the team is making to uphold our
honor in debate, they would interest
themselves in forensic events; they
would arrange their social programs
to accord with the debate schedule,
and then come out in a body to cheer
the men in their efforts to wrest vic
tory from the opponents.
“The institution is in debt to her
debaters, and if the students don’t
wish to default payment they will not
deny the men the very greatest en
couragement possible. This encour
agement means two things: it means
knowing the debaters and speaking to
them, and it means big audiences.
“The two University teams," con
tinued Mr. Prescott, “will meet Wash
ington and Stanford on the second
Friday in March. Three men will go
to Stanford and three will remain
here to oppose Washington’s trio. On
the first Friday in April Oregon meets
the University of Montana.
“The negative team will be Morris,
Crockett and Hardesty, while Jaure
guy, Lombard, Brown and Dawson
will compete for positions on the af
firmative team.”
