SCUSHIP GIVEN Dr. Lowell Leaves $600 at Uni versity of Washington. Not Enough Astronomy JStu dents at (^regon to War rant Like Gift. Dr. Percival Lowell, the noted as tronomer who spoke in Villard hall on October thirteenth, has established a scholarship in astronomy for the Univer sity of Washington. This scholarship, to be known as the “Mars Fellowship,” is good for one year and carries $600. The granting of this scholarship follow ed Mr. Lowell’s visit at that Univer sity last week, and his inspection of the course in astronomy offered there. This scholarship will be granted to a student or graduate of University of Washington, specializing in astronomy, who must follow some line of original research. It consists of a year’s work in the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, of which Dr. Lowell is the head. It would not be possible to secure a like scholarship for the University of Oregon, because there are but six stu dents in the University taking courses in astronomy. Of these only two are taking practical \nstronomy which con sists in determining latitude, longitude and time. The others are taking ele mentary courses. “There is no student in this depart ment who would be worthy of such a scholarsihp,” said Professor Edward II. McAlister, head of this department,” of the few that are interested in astron omy there is no one that is specializing in it or doing any research work. They come from other departments, and elect astronomy only because of interest.” WILL PASS ON BASKETBALL Faculty Committee of Howe, Dyment and Bezdek AM in Favor. Meeting Nov. 2. The fate of the basketball petition is to be decided at the regular meeting of the faculty on November 2. The committee, consisting of Prof. H. C. Howe, Prof. C. V. Dyment and Coach Hugo Bezdek, has met but once due to Mr. Bezdek’s absence. At this meeting nothing was done except to arrange for a report from Manager A. B. Tiffany on the expenses and number of games. All of the members of the committee are strongly in favor of reinstating the winter sport. The managers of teams in the north west conference meet in Portland in December. The question of student dances also comes up for a final hearing at the November meeting. “The faculty is wil ling to let the ^tudent8 have the dances provided the houses are willing to give up some of their dates,” said Professor Dyment, chairman of the committee. “There never has been any serious op position to that.” 0. A. C. BY TO MCE OREGON TEAM Cross Country to Be Held Be fore Game on November 25 at Corvallis. Undecided Whether Freshmen i Will Enter. Many Are Out Training. There is to he a cross-country run j between Oregon and O. A. C. held just j before the football game on November 25, at Corvallis. All the tennis of the race have not been agreed upon. One of the difficulties is whether freshmen will enter the contest or not. “It is against Oregon's principles to enter freshmen in such a meet,” states Captain Martin Nelson, “but O. A. C. may have her freshmen compete.” If she persists in having them run, Ore gon’s first year men may also have a Chance. This year’s cross-country will be the first varsity contest of that nature be tween the two schools, for lost year’s race was merely between the freshmen teams. From all indications, O. A. C. has a great many men training, but Cap tain Nelson believes that Oregon has a good chance of winning the event. At present there arc a number of men practicing thre^ or five times a week, who will all be eligible to the cross-country run. Among these are Mar tin Nelson, Don Belding, Bob Atkinson, Kent Wilson. Jack Montague, and Ivan Warner. Besides these are the fresh men aspirants, some of whom are very promising, according to Nelson. The conditions for track work have been favorable and the Kincaid course is still in use, but when the fall rains com mence, a cross-country course will have to be mapped out. The old one cannot be used beenuse of the pavement which has been laid since last year. “It is like any other contest between Oregon and O. A. C.” Captain Nelson states. “We have simply got to beat them. I want to urge every man in col lege who has had any experience or who thinks he can, with practice, become a distance runner, to come out for track. Anybody who delivers the goods will j make the trip.” The race will begin half an hour be fore the football game, and the finish will be in front of the grandstand. The distance covered will probably be three miles. STUDENTS TO PLEDGE Governor James B. Withycombe Will Preside Wednesday. Guarantee to State That Stu dents Consider Its Sup port Valuable. The fifth annual pledge day exercises will be held during the assembly hour Wednesday. After a short devotional service led by Rev. A. M. Spangler, pastor of the * First Congregational church of Eugene, Governor James B. Withycombe will read the pledge which is taken by Oregon students annually. The first pledge day exercises were pre sided over by Oswald West, then gov ernor of Oregon on October 15, 1912. For the first time in history students will have entire charge of the exercises. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, a member of the board of regents, will speak at this assembly, and the local regents, A. C. Dixon and Ray Goodrich, will probably be present, according to K. W. Onthank, secretary to the president, al though they are not scheduled to speak. The glee clubs will sing and the orches tra will render a few selections. Mr. West explained this pledge at the first ceremonies by saying that the peo ple of Oregon are investing a large amount of money in the University, and this is evidence that the students recog nize their obligation to the state and will do all they can to repay it by being better citizens of Oregon. At the time pledge day wns started it was especially necessary to show the people in some way that the University appreciated all tj^e benefits received, because the pres ent millage tax law was not in force then and all the money for the support of the institution had to come from the legislature.
