If the knowing shake of the head and the smile which Wilmot Foster, Frank Scaiefe, and Wayne Stater assume when one asks them about the Junior week end program has anything to do with the brand new special stunts that are contemplated for that time—said stunts aTe going to be startlers. Foster, chairman of the student body’s week-end committee, says: “We are planning some stunts that have never been tried out before. They are abso lutely original and-well wait and see. “The committee appointed by the fac ulty for the purpose of considering a few changes in the week-end program will meet with the junior’s and student body’s committees next Monday after uoon. Before that time we can announce jothing definite.” Stater, chairman of the junior com mittee, and Scaiefe, presiden of .the 17 class, express the same sentiments »s Foster. “All that we can say is that t is going to be the biggest week-end that was ever pulled off at Oregon, and hat is saying a whole lot.’* . M. OFFICERS ELECTED falter Dlmm Chosen President and Joe Bell Vice-President of Men’s Organization. Officers of the Y. M. C. A. for the ensuing year were elected last Thursday. The result of the vote was a complete sanction by the members of the associa t on of the men put up by the nominat ing committee a few weeks ago. Walter Dimm was chosen president, Joe Bell, vice-pves.; DeWitt Gilbert, sec etary, and Burle Bramhall, treasurer. The new cabinet and chairman of the va rious standing committees will be selected by Walter Dimm as soon as possible. Walter Dimm, the president-elect, has bben actively connected with Y. M. C. A. affairs during the last three years and has been no small factor in giving to the . M. its present standing. He was treasurer in his sophomore year, vice president last year and has served as manager of the Hand-Book and as chair nan of the extension committee. It was uider his direction that the extension tiip to southern Oregon during the Christmas holidays was so successfully p it through. This year this department o;! the work has been three times as great as ever before. Joe Bell was chairman of the missions committee and leader of one of the high school boys' classes in Bible study. DeWitt Gilbert has been prominently associated with Y. M. C. A. work during tl e past year. As chairman of the membership committee he conducted a successful campaign for new members last fall and was chosen by the cabinet tc edit the association’s edition of the Emerald. Burle Bramhall served as chairman of the vocational lectures committee and hcs been active in the work of the re juvenation of the Y. M.’s finances. The recently elected officers will be installed at the annual banquet on the ening of March 31. e-\ STUDY ASIAN COLLEGE LIFE Npw Pastor of M. E. Church to Conduct Y. M. C. A. Olass. Student life in European countries has fc r a long time been a matter of com mon knowledge. But of college life in any of the countries of Asia little is kiiown. “Students of Asia,” however, is j the title of a book which will be taken i ui> in a new mission study class which the J. W. C. A. is to start next week. The author of the book is- Sherwood Ed dy, who has traveled extensively in Asia, returning since the war broke out. The class will bs taught by Reverend G. H. Parkinson, new pastor of the Eugene Methodist church. Mr. Parkinson is a personal friend of Mr. Eddy. Japan, China, India and Turkey are the countries where Mr. Eddy spent the mpst time. Recent conditions in the student life there are especially empha sised. The course lasts six weeks and begins Tuesday afternoon at five o’clock at the bungalow. All women are wel | come to attend. At the University of Nebraska nearly 600 men have entered classes in military preparedness. Movements, rifle practice, sighting and other regulations are dis cussed. Senior men at the University of Texas are to wear full dress collars and bat wing ties, and carry canes on Mondays and Thursdays. 400 WANT SEMITIC CM HERE IN FALL [ Students Circulate Petition for Course i^i Biblical History andl Literature. Approximately 400 students have signed a petition for the establishment of a chair in Semitic history and literature in the University next fall. The Morning Register of Wednesday stated that the Semitic race was a tribe of Indians in northern Arizona, in which the students were interested. Accord ing to Webster’s unabridged dictionary the Semitic people are the descendants of Shem, and “members of the Caucasian race now chiefly represented by the Jews and Arabs, bu(; including Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians and people of southwest Asia.” Believing tha|t these peoples have con tributed largely to the wealth of the lit erature of the I world, a number of stu dents have circulated the petition. They are: Frances ISchenck, Mary Chambers, Dorothy Collieir, Jennie Huggins, Louise Allen, Dorothyj Wheeler, Ruth Wilson, Ruth Westfallt and Alva Wilson. The matter was brought up at all the house meetings of thd fraternities Monday eve ning. Every member of Beta Theta Pi signed the petition as did a large propor tion of the members of the other houses. The board of regents will pass upon the request at its next meeting on March 29. E. E. DeCou, head of the department of mathematics, considers such a course very desirable and says that all students should have an opportunity to make a study of the Bible from the standpoint of the literature and history of the Semitic peoples. “Evelry educated man should have a general knowledge of the whole Bible as a greait piece of literature,” said Professor DeCou. “Some people may wonder why this Course should be asked for,” said Miss Mary Gillies, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A., “but when people come in constantly and disclose how little they know of the Bible, especially of the Old Testament and can’t understand the bib lical allusions in literature it is about time to put in such a course. People cannot criticise| the University for put ting in a course in Bible study any more than they can the action of the faculty in forbidding the use of the golf course on Sunday.” Miss Mary Mjataon of the English de partment, said:| “The dense ignorance of the students of all biblical allusions in literature is deplorable. A knowledge of the Bible is necessary to the best un derstanding of English literature” “The course would be splendid,” said Miss Ruth Gup'py, dean of women. COSI DOW FIGURE i Decorations In Armory to Be Big Feat ture of Junior Prom; Money Is »lo Object. Decorations will be one of the biggest features of the junior prom this year, according to Bd>b Langley, chairman of the decoration committee. The finances of the class are in such good shape that the cost is of little importance, the mnin thing being to secure the “big idea.” The work has been undertaken by the junior members of Allen Eaton’s art apprecia tion class and will be used as a substi tute for the regular class work. The immense floor upace and the great dis tance to the roof make the armory a very difficult place to decorate but the committee promises something new, novel and artistic. The members of the decoration com mittee are: Bob Langley, chairman; JTred Kiddle, Louise Allen, Mary Chambers, Maurice Hyde, Mary Alice Hill, Roland Geary, Joe Bell, Karl Beck, Charles Newcastle and Ruth Fraley. From Huron College, South Dakota, comes an interesting report concerning “escorts." Statistics have been gather ed from a new register at the girls' dor mitory, in which the young ladies have to record their names, the names of their escorts and destination. It is dis covered that 39 men have escorted 54 girls recorded; that 10 of these men were outsiders, 0 alumni, 3 dropped from college men in the running. The college paper leaves it to the reader to figure out how many of these men call ed more than 6 times. The University of Illinois has estab lished a short course in the construc tion, care and maintenance of automo biles. At a regular meeting of the Under graduate Association of Barnard it was decided to continue the Honor System at the college, because of the large num ber in-favoc-ofelfc. a Let us fit you up with your new spring clothes.
