SIK WEEK-END LEADERS
Committee Chairmen Still Re
fuse to Part With Eluci
dating Facts.
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.

rious standing committees will be selected

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

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.
