NEW EDIFICE TO HOUSE
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Extensivs Plans Are Being Made by
Dean Sheldon to Accommodate
Students
A special junior high school may be
established on the first floor of the new
education building to be erected on the
campus. Dean H. D. Sheldon of the de
partment of education, is cooperating
with the Eugene school board and of
ficials in laying plans for the school.
At present the plan is to make it a
small school where students will get a
special training in English, science, his
tory, and foreign languages. Courses
will start with seventh grade pupils and
five or six year's consecutive work will
be offered along a general subject.
Aesthetics and music will form ap art
of the curriculum of the new school. A
consistent course of teaching will be
worked out under the direction of Dean
Sheldon and the education department.
Dean Sheldon thinks that 125 students1
would be the proper size for efficient
work. The students will probably be
those who live in this part of Eugene
and those whose parents desire them to
have the special trai^sg offered such

“No, there aren’t any lizards in the

“But what was it, then?” asked a girl.
“Oh, just a little thing about as long

TAXPAYERS ARE JUSTIFIED
Frofesosr Landsbury, of School of
Music, Thinks Support Justified
The taxpayers of the state are justi
i fied in supporting the University school
of music as a part of the University
school of liberal arts and sciences.
This is the opinion of Professor John J.
Landsbury, instructor in the University
school of music, who talked at the as
sembly hour this morning on “Musical
Thought.”
Music Is as Valuable as Sciences, etc
“Many persons look upon the school
of music as a separate part of any col
lege,” said Professor Landsbury. “This
idea is wrong, for the school of music
passes the value test equally as well as
any other department. The, worthy pur
pose of education is to produce some
thing not for our own sakes alone, but
that will show us our environment and
teach us how to adapt ourselves to it.
The school of music does this.
Change In Attitude
"Honest investigation reveals life
through its own prism. It shows many
interesting areas—botany, literature,
sciences, commerce, medicine, law, art,
architecture, music, etc., each of which
has its individual value plane. Bach of
these studies, however, has a certain re
lation to the rest. So has music. Years
ago there was an idea current that
music was a study fit for the old man
and the boaTding-house miss. Now we
Tecognize its real value and class it
where it rightfully belongs—next to all
other co-ordinate and brother subjects.
Can Stand Alonn
“The value of music is not a separate
one held apart from everey other form of
education. Music must stand the same
test of values as any educational study.
It should be given no privileges; it
needs no discrimination.”
Emotional Background Discussed
Mr. Landsbury asserted that music
does not lie in the emotions, although
much musical thought is fostered by
emotion. He said that music is a mix
ture of the ages—the sum of Confucius
learning, Hindu mysticism, and Greek
mythology.
“Music is not the mere effect of a
tone upon the nervous system, but a sen
sation with a definite meaning. Mu
sical tone is expressed, only in terms of
musical content.”
This is the first of a series of simi
lar lectures to be given this year by
Professor Landsbury on development and
architectural in music. Mr. Landsbury
used the piano yesterday to illustrate
severl points in his talk.
PARK DEER HEAD IN MtlSEUM.
The head, feet, and hide of the deer
that killed its keeper, William F. Wal- j
lace, in Hendrick’s park on January 9,
are now in the museum of the depart
ment of zoology. The day after the killing
A. C. Shelton, assistant in the depart
ment and B. C. Hills, deputy game war
den, shot the animal and turned the meat
over to the police department of the city
for distribution to the poor. The head
will be mounted later.
ONE-YEAR RULE DROPPED
At a recent meeting of the Southern
intercollegiate association in New Or
leans it was voted to abolish the noe
year residence rule. Freshmen or men
coming from any other college will be al
lowed to play on any team of the institu
tions which are members of the asso
ciations.
PRESIDENT ACCEPTS INVITATION.
President Campbell has accepted an

SHELTON PICKS CMP
FOR me SPORTS
Field Worker Locates Play
ground for Auxiliary “Maza
ma” Club to Be Organized.
On December 10, one day before Pres
ident Campbell left Eugene on his east
ern trip, he directed Alfred Shelton,
field worker in the department of zo
ology, to journey into the Cascades, and
get a report on conditions for winter
sports in the high mountains.
Winter Camp Sought.
The ultimate object lay in finding a
location for a winter camp, a playground
for the auxiliary “Mazama” club, soon
to be organized among the faculty, stu
dents, and Eugene residents.
Mr. Shelton made the trip, took notes
on conditions, succeeded in getting a
number of high mountain pictures, pick
ed out what he says is an ideal location
for a winter camp, and is preparing his
report. This report will be based on
trips this winter and last winter, when
he went to the summit around the
Three Sisters mountains.
80 Miles From Campus
The chosen location is known ns
“Frog Camp Meadow,” 20 miles east of
McKenzie bridge, the first big meadow
on the summit where the McKenzie pass
goes through the mountains. McKenzie
bridge is 60 miles from Eugene.
Ideal for Snow Sports.
Mr. Shelton says that this spot will
afford open meadows many acres in ex
tent for snow sports, and hills from 200
to 408 feet high for coasting and skiing.
It is only a few miles to big open lava
fields, five or six miles to the lower
slope of the “Sitters,” and less thnn a
mile to Scott lake for skating. In ad- I
dition, the site will afford wonderful win
ter scenery along the summit. Tlie av
erage snow depth on. the level is from
10 to 12 feet.
Sheldon Takes Trip.
Mr. Shelton tells the story of his trip
from when he left Eugene on December
17 to the date of his return, January
1. On the first day he traveled as far as
McKenzie bridge, and left two days
later for Clear lake, at the headwaters
of the river. 'J'he going was done on
skis. The snows were not very heavy,
six to eight feet being the most in any
one place.
Snow Shoes Required
“Clear lake is one of the best-known
summer places, but is very different in
winter,” says Mr. Shelton. “The anow
came down abruptly to the edge of the
lake, and it was impossible to get
around except on sno'/shces, and that
with difficulty.”
The only other member of the party
was George Moody, a trapper and guide
of McKenzie bridge, who has been Mr.
Shelton’s associate on all his winter
trips.
Little Game Seen.
“We saw very little game,” Mr. Shel
ton says. “There were a few coyotes,
cats, and Martens, and along the lower
edge of the snow line some deer. The
trappers around McKenzie bridge are
getting some fur. One or two cougar
and quite a few dilwcats were killed
while we were there.
“It was hard going in the high moun
tains on nccount of lack of shelter. The
cabin at Clear Lake, left there in 1912
by the O. E. R. R. Co. on the site of a
project is the only good stopping place
some of the finest axe work anyone could
on the summit. That cabin embodies
ask for.”
In the course of two winter’s work,
Mr. Shelton has secured a splendid series
of high mountain pictures, about 50 in
number. He explains that a great objec
tion to photography in winter is that
everything has to be carried on one’s
back. “Everything” includes food, [jed
ding, nnd other incidentals. And the bed
ding on such a trip is by no means un
weighty.
Mr. Shelton enjoyed his Christmas din
ner at Clear Lake.

Even the Dough-nut league has cas

the gruelling battle of last week with the
Iota Chi team, and is now laid up in bed
with blood poisoning.
Dr. Seth Kerron, ex-football star, lanc
ed the toe yesterday, and says that if no
serious complications arise, Farley will
be able to toss at the stringed hoops in
a few days.
Bob Bean, captain of the bereaved
team, says he doesn't believe now that
they will be able to grab even the cellar
championship.

The'Library is besieged by requests for
information on many and varied subjects.
It would seem that the old pioneer days
of the state were not yet over for infor
mation is desired Oregon colonization and
on log cabins. At least ten requests for
other information about the state go far
to prove Couch IJezdek’s assertion that it
is a “great state”.
One asks about the water shpply of
Portland since the state has gone dry and
desires to find out all the library knows
about it.
Another must have lost a button, for
he seeks information on the manufacture
of buttons; how they are made, and to
what extent they are manufactured
llow to say “Merry Christmas” in
French is another query.
Oeneral Carranza is worrying some stu
dent nearly as much ns the general is
worrying President Wilson. Another stu
dent is becoming nervous on what is go
ing to happen to him after graduation
and has asked for information on the suc
cess of college graduates.
Some person has found that Seattle is
on the map and has put in a request for
a map of it. Five people at the University
are interested in the European war and
three are inquiring about military train
ing in the colleges. Exams are drawing
near so some student desires knowledge
on memory before he starts studying.
Another wishes that the exams were over
and asks for information about vaca

The Oregon pageant was given to the
public prematurely last evening in the
Oregon gym when the scene depicting a
spirited buttle between the whites and
the Indians was given to an appreciative
audience. When the last gunshot was
fired the Phi l)elts had counted out 10,
and the Delta Tans had to content them
selves with only 7. The game was a
real game, one of those that sends the
thrills up and down your back as you
watch the men working the bail up and
down tlie floor, and was characterised
■ more for good basektball than for ani
mosity and ill-feeling. Naturally, the
feeling ran high, became the two teams
were the league lenders and each was
putting forth its best efforts to win the
game, for the winning meant practi
cally the cup.
Game Stars With a Rush
The game started our vv.th a rush and
ran on for several minutes lu fore either
team scored. Then Huntington re
ceived the ball somewhere near the cen
ter of the court and hoisted it into the
air; it fell precisely in the emtor of the
basket, touching the rim al no place
The [day continued and a few minutes
later Church repeated the performance'
from a long distance angle on the right
side of the court. This was followed'
by some hard playing, during which the
boys became rough, and Referee Day
ward was forced to call several folds.
Three out of five were cam verted by
Seaiefe, while Roberts did not connect
.with the only one called upon the Dolts
in this half.
i The gun was fired and the half ended
I -1 to o in favor of Phi I Jolt.
Roberts Rainbows a Beauty
After the las' half of the Oregon club
Sigma Xu game was played, the two
teams took the floor again, and the fray
was renewed vvitfl rejuvenated fight and
“pep.” The ball see-siwe.l about the
floor fur a time, and then Roberts, the
center, rainbowed another beauty
through the hoop from outside the fold
circle. Then Phipps came up from
guard and shot another fine [maker.
Huntington had another liy the ears, but
he had so much time to make it that the
usual thing happened, and the ball sc,me
llow kept out of the little hoop. Finally
Furney got away from his man, came
down the floo'-, missed the basket,
fought for the ball, recovered, and shot
the only field basket that the Dells
chalked up. Seaiefe added two points
this half by converting fouls. Right be
fore the whistle, Roberts annexed an
other from a difficult angle, and then
the game was over. Score; Phi Dolt 10,
Delta Tau 7.
Cellars Has a Horseshoe
A game which started before the big
game, furnished amusement, and u
other times displayed talent. Ill this the
(Jfegon club beat Sigba Nu 17 to tJ. When
arc the Sigs going to win a game?
Cate of the club showed that he is t-n
to all points of the game, covering the
floor, and shooting, especially. Cellars
put a horseshoe in his pocket before the
game and astonished the spectators
with some remarkable shots; but to
McLean goes the palm for startling the
watchers. Several of them almost fell

The Beta team then took the floor . nd

watching, and afforded not only seats for
the one interested in the science of the
game, but as well for those who come
only to be amused. The playing of Dick
Nelson was not so evident as hereto
fore, probably because Bartlett did not
let him get away. Carl Nelson, the
Beta guard, showed up in his usual good
