    FAGULIT COMMITTEE
DEFERS ACTION ON
ATHLETIC PROBLEM
0
Report in One Week Is Expect
ed to Show Definite Plan
of Proceedings.
At the faculty meeting held yes
terday afternoon, the matter of abol
ishment of intercollegiate athletics
was taken under further advisement.
A committee of seven was appointed
to make further investigation and to
submit a report next Thursday.
Sentiment seemed to favor a mod
ification of athletics rather than a
total abolishment. 1'lans submitted
were not made public, although it was
rumored on good foundation, that
a conference with other college repre
sentatives to discuss the problem
would be called. It was thought by
this means that concensus of opi
nion can be obtained, and with a
common purpose in mind the athletic
puzzle of the northwest would be
greatly modified.
“There Is too much emphasis
placed upon intercollegSate athlet
ics," said one professor who has
made a study of the situation as
now found in colleges and uni ver
sifies on the Pacific coast.
President Campbell said:
"Members of the faculty have be
come so deeply interested in the
question of intercollegate athletics
that it was found impossible to set
tle Dr. Barnett’s resolution in so
short a time. The question involves
a great, deal of thought and consid
eration; consequently, we thought
best this afternoon to secure material
from all sources and to be deliber
ate in its handling. Action enacted
must be for the best interests of the
University.”
'She committee appointed by
/resident Campbell is as follows:
Professor iDe Con, l»r. Joseph Sha
fer, Dr. .1. D. Barnett, Dr. Bebec,
Professor Howe, Dr. W. D. Smith and
Professor K. K, Ayer.
Ideas advanced were the question
of finances and the “attention” sit
ration. It was thought that in
terest financially has spoiled a great
deal of true sport and it is a known
fact that the financial problem has
caused the cancellation of more than
one nig varsity game. Not only his
the money question prompted sev
ercnco of athletic relations, but !t
has (anted games to be taken to
larger cities for no other purpose
than the collection of a larger gae
receipt
It was also said as the various
prdcssors aired their viewpoints
that too much attention was given
to 11 men and not to the entire men
populace of the University. A rent

FACULTY’S SPEED

How the faculty caste for “The
Passing of the Third Floor Back”
managed to get their parts learned so
Quickly is still puzzling Professor
Reddie. Professor Reddie says that
the majority of them had their entire
parts learned by the first rehearsal.
Those taking part in the play are:
Mr. W. Broecker, Mr. W. F. G.
Thacher, Mr. J. Frederic Thorne.
Miss Mozelle Hair, Mrs. E. S. Bates,
Mandell Weiss, Professor E. o 8.

initial performance in the new the

trary to the ruling of last year,” he
announced, “women will be per
mitted to participate in the inter
collegiate debates. Since there are
only two men from last year who
have letters, six more will be needed
to form a team. Three orators are
also wanted to compete in the Inter
state contests, making a total of nine
men in this department. The Y.
M. C. A. social, extension and Bible
study departments are In need of
good, willing men,” he said, " to
further the work already begun by
Secretary Foster.”
“Pep” will be the keynote of the
under-class mix next Saturday after
noon, according to Robert McMur
ray. The mix will begin promptly
at 1 o’clock and will consist of but
three events, which have been care
fully planned by the juniors.

GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
THRIVES IN NEW HOME
Improved Facilities of Johnson
Hall Add to Effectiveness
of Exhibits.
The University Department of eG
ology has moved from its former
room in Villard to n6w quarters in
the Administration Building. 0Th<i*
space now occupied is on the west
side of the first floor, facing Kin
caid Field.
‘‘The exhibits are practically the
same as we had In Villard,” said
Dr. Smith, head of the department,
‘‘but we have a better place here to
exhibit them, although the space is
still too small.”
The wall-cases, made by W. M.
Marshall, a carpenter in the Univer
sity supply department, have drawers
clear to the floor. In time all cases
in the Museum will be replaced by
cases of this type.
The Museum is connected by fold- i
ing doors to a general laboratory.
In the basement is a general lecture
room. This is too small to accom
modate the general geology class,
which has an attendance of 60, ac
cording to Dr. Smith. Besides this
lecture room, the basement holds a
laboratory for chemical examina
tions iin which the blow pipe is used.
The Museum is known by the title
of the Condon Geological Museum,
taking its name from Dr. Thomas
Condon, pioneer geologist of Ore- .
gon and also the first professor of
geology in the University. Mrs. El
len Condon McCormack, daughter of
Dr. Condon, has been helping in the
arrangement of the collection in its
new home.
A new specimen added to the de
partment is ithe “Papeir-Nautilus.”
"This is the only thing of its kind
in Eugene and probably in Oregon,”
said Dr. Smith. “It came from the
waters surrounding the Philippine
islands, and was sent to me by an
old prospector friend. It is found
only in a few places. Only the fe
male of the species has a shell, the
purpose of which is to protect the
eggs. This particular specimen has
beautiful and artistic curves.”
Two of the largest additions are
a relief map of Oregon, made by the
Bureau of Mines, under the super
vision of Professor S. Shedd, Pro
fessor of Geology at the Watshington
State College, and the other is a set
of physiographic models, called
“Shaler-iDtavis.” These latter come
from Rochester, New York.
"The department has also secured
several fine photographs, illustrat
ing Oregon geology and scenery,”
said Dr. Smith. “These include
some well known photographs of the
Kiser Photograph Company, of Port
land. Among them are pictures of
Crater Lake and the Clumbia River
Highway.
Graham J. Mitchell, assistant pro
fessor of geology, made some photo
graphs during his research work tor
the department this summer in Curry
County, which have been enlarged,
and are now a part of the depart
ment’s collection.
Leigh Swtnson. of Medford, a for
mer student of the University of
Oregon, has entered the journalistic
department of the University of
Washington.
