EXPRESS TOUR DOUBTS SITS MISS BUWGIURD RELIGIOUS TANGLES RESULTING FROM CLASS DISCUSSIONS IS TOPIC Advise* Free for All Dieeuaeion by Groups to Clear Up Moot Question* Miss Leslie Blanchard, of the Na tional Y. W. C. A. Board, who has conducted week-end meetings here in the interest of the local Y. W. C. A., left yesterday morning. She is to rest two days in Portlad, and will go from there to hold similar meetings in Newberg. Miss Blanchard spoke at the Bun galow yesterday afternoon about re ligious tangles arising out of class room discussions. “College discussions open up so many ways of looking at life. It is a slow business to get your minds straightened out and decide what you really do think. Professors either con fnse, make you mad, or have no effect on you. If a teacher cannot stir you up and make you think, he is a poor instructor. “The trouble is that most of you come to college with a religious creed that is buttoned with a safety pin. When the professor corners you on a religious question the pin comes un fastened and you are lost. Stand still until your doubts settle. You are in the same predicament as the man lost in a desert sand storm or a London fog. If you move you are lost.” Miss Blanchard stated that a free for all discussion group had cleared up doubts in some of the colleges. “Get a group of fifteen or so and meet with a town minister or a pro fessor. Talk your doubts out. Don’t stop reading your Bible and going to church merely because you are in doubt. If a scientist has a problem he experiments hours in his labora tory until it is solved. Experiment in the laboratory of God and work out your troubles. Try the laboratory method of prayer. “This one prescription I would leave with you for your doubts: Live up to what you n9W understand, then you will find the solution to what you do not understand.” ELEVEN FORMER STUDENTS ARE FOREIGN MISSIONARIES There are now 11 former Univer sity of Oregon students working In the foreign mission field. Of these, probably the best remembered are: Clarence Steele, ’ll, a member of the Student Body Executive Committee, and the Treasurer of the Junior class and the Y. M. C. A. in 1910; and James Lyman, who, during his stay at the University, was Northwest cham. pion heavy-weight wrestler. The list of missionaries from Ore gon, with their stations, is as follows: Japan—G. W. Hill, Harvey Wheel er, Ruth B. Wheeler. China—Peter Wold, Mark Wheeler. India—Carl Ghormley.

Next the “Doughnuters" will be the attraction on the baseball diamond. New and commodious bleachers are being erected, the grounds are receiv ing attention, and by next Monday, when the preliminaries begin, every thing will be in shape for the first serious series of the season. The semi-finals and finals will not be played until after spring vacation. It is hinted that the boys will need the vacation to rest up after the first week’s grind of the strenuous sport. Already many of the famous “house stars’’ have been noted clouting the ball on the lot back of the house, or chasing grounders for blocks down the pavement. Dark horses and finds will probably be numerous, as will also be the number of “homers” and sensational triple plays. By a process ot elimination, i/oacn Bezdek will select twelve or fourteen men who will have to forego the joy of a regular game until the vacation week, when they will make the up valley trip. The men on this list will receive the announcement personally from Coach Bezdek. The trophy for the winners of the games will be a cup, put up by the Inter-Fraternity Association. The Phi Gamma Deltas won the cup last year. 1915 Y. M. C. A. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT SEABEVK The Northwest Y. M. C.

One of the four columns, relics of the first building of the Territotrial University of Washington, erected in 1863, and brought to the campus by the Senior class of the Univer sity of Washington in 1911, was bro ken when a huge fir tree was hurled against it by a falling wind. An ef fort will bo made to restore the frag ments. CM Horn 6ME mOIC.IPII.2013 First Contest Between Women of the Two Institutions to be at0 Corvallis In answer to the challenge of the 0. A. C. girls’ hockey team, the Uni versity of Oregon women will play them a game April 2 or 3, at Cor vallis. This is the first time there has ever been a contest between the women of the two institutions in any thing but tennis. “Though the O. A. C. team has been practicing all winter and is ready for a game now, and we are just beginning to practice, Isee no reason why we cannot win or at least hold them down to a tie score if our women will come out and work. The O. A. C. team has been practic ing three times a day, but I think twice a day will be enough for us,” said Miss Harriet Thompson, of the Women'si Gymnasium Department this morning. “Come and arrange your hours of practice with Miss Goldsmith. Come out and help defend your college. This is the chance of your college ca reer to show your mettle.” DOCILITY GETS THE "H” BRAINS “M” SAYS PROFS. (Continued from page 1.) most of the men by the exact feminine standard, for it serves as a very fair indication of the amount of work they do, if not of the amount of brains they possess.” FAIR ARCHITECTURE AFFECTS CITIES IS BELIEF (ontinued from page 1.) stated that it was the central motive of the group, and explained that its wonderful color effects were achieved by the use of thousands of prisms, so placed as to secure a special refrac tion of the light. “In each of the great expositions held in the past,” the speaker said, “some detail has been emphasized. In the Panama Exposition no effort has been made to give prominence to any feature. But if any one department does stand out, it is the color. The coloring is simply marvelous, and when the varied hues are all combined in one complete whole, it fairly sings. Another very striking feature of the Exposition, is that, when the build ings are artificially lighted at night, no filaments are seen. “The San Diego Exposition is quite as charming in its way as the Panama Pacific Exposition,” continued the speaker as some views of the contem porary fair were shown. The most striking thing about this Exposition is the luxuriance of vegetation seen everywhere. In the main, Spanish ar chitecture is employed. The new budget of Columbia Uni versity totals $3,987,35R0. This is Columbia’s largest budget and exceeds that made at any university. University of Michigan will soon hold an indoor track meet, entry in^ which is open only to non-athletes. 1 All prizes will be edible.
