Two Leotures Arranged Friday evening, at 7:30, and Sunday, Int 3 o’clock, Mr. Eaton will speak in formally on the art of lithography, ex plaining the process and its advantages and disadvantages as an expression for the artist. In this connection he will illustrate the process with a lithograph er's stone, which has been worked* upon and from which impressions have been made. This stone and materials were loaned by Bushong & Co. of Portland for ]the demonstration, and the work was .prepared by Mr. W. .T. Hill of Eugene, who understands the phases of the lith ographer’s trade, having served many *years in the work. Works of Famous Artists I Lithography is the art of printing by a chemical process from stone. Commer cial engraving is often used in connection with the work, but the examples shown In connection with the work, but the Examples shown in this exhibition nre 'all printed from the flat surface of the stone.

RAH-RAH SPIRIT CHECKED ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS Sophomores Hear Voice From Above; Decide Not to Make Classmates Wear Corduroys I University of Washington, Jan. lit).— "Ivuugaroo courts” and the traditional '“hothand” will have no part in determin 'ing the fashionable dress of underclass |‘inen at the university. A warning issued 'by President Suzzallo seems to have hud a persuasive effect on the sophomores, | who had intended making ull second year men wear corduroy trousers. The “vigil ance committee,” which was to have ex ecuted the will of the majority, has now Regenerated to an organization for the Reckling of those who dislike the “cords.” Dr. Suzzallo isn’t opposed to the wear jlag of distinctive garb by college stu dents. lie merely objects to the meth ods which the youngsters threatened to employ. i Tradition Versus Coercion. “Traditions endure,” he told the stu dents, "because they are useful aud be !loved, aud coercion creates a dislike 'which interferes even with utility. While 'there is nothing to be said for coercion, there is also little to be said in favor of jthe sophomores who haven’t enough sen timental interest in their college comrade ships to join in the folkways when there doesn't happen to be a good reason for standing apart. Such a reason sometimes exists. Hoys living in the city or who are engaged in part lime employment of jten find a special college garb inconven |ient. Against Snobs. “If the merely snobbish desire to wear Ibetter clothing than someone else keeps icertain college dudes out of sophomore's garb, that is largely their own business, 'but they might indulge in a little self-ex amination with profit to their own char acter." 1 Professor Suzzallo thinks the location 'of the university in a large city, where 'the students constantly meet outsiders, and the large number of self-supporting students who find distinctive apparel a handicap, prevent the success of the clnss garb system, here. Three students were dismissed from 11he University of Illinois by the students council for fraud in securing tickets for I the Illinois-Uhieago game. Phi Delt Schoolers Champs (Continued from page 1) form, and kept the Betas’ basket well protected throughout. Sigma Dhi and lota Chi furnished the 'slap-stick comedy for the evening. The score printed on the hills announced a '10 to “ score in the former's favor. 'After perhaps five minutes of rotten ‘play, in which neither team scored, the 'Sigma Chis began to get anxious and then 'it was worse than ever. Hut in the sec ond half things went better and they got 'away without the golden goose cack ling once'under their arms. Tuesdays Games. 1 The first half of the A. T. O.-Oregon club game ended In a 3 to 3 tie. Hut in 'the second half the A. T. O.’s started some of the best playing that has been 'seen around these parts and ran their end of the score up to 20, while the Club could not grab any more than 8 for their whole play. Kirk proved himself one of the beat guards of the series in this game, continually taking the ball away from hin mtfn and getting it out of dangerous territory. The two forwards played well, arid made their share of the points, while Nelson was there ag usual. Cate, the Club forward, was kept well covered at all times. • Farley is Dorm Star The Dorm, ran up another of their high scores against the Sigma Nus when they took the game 17 to 3. The first half ended 13 to 1, and was in truth the walk-away the! score indie .ted. while the last half was more of a game. Farley was the star of the game, continually putting the ball in the basket. Kappa Sig-SIgma Chi Game Close Sigma Chi defeated Kappa Sigma, 7 to 3. This wat a hard fought, thrilling game, which held the spectators under tension until the end. The Sigma Chi teum was the ‘same, and used the same tactics with v'hlch they defeated Delta Tau Delta. The Sigs seemed unable to annex the baskets, but this was partly due to the effective guarding of the Sig ma Chis. The Beta and Fiji football-basketball teams put on a good game. There was a little to much beef to-make ihe game fast, but at times 1:he play warmed up. The goose-egg scor's of both teams at the end of the first half. Then the Betas began to get excited and grabbed 7 points while the Fijis ended the game with the same score with whfch they began— a cipher.
