NEW GRANDSTAND SOON
Student Body May Borrow Funds for
Field if Regents Refuse.
Work will soon begin on the new
grandstand on the athletic field for which
the student body last December voted to
bond themselves.
At present everything depends upon
the action of the Board of Regents in
voting funds for the budding of an ath
letic field, according to Nicholas Jaure
guy, president of the student body.
The grand stand ran be built within
a very short time but the field will re
quire much longer because it must have
an opportunity to settle says Jaureguy.
If the Board of Regents do not grant
funds for the field, which will cost ap
proximately $5,000, the student body
will consider taking a loan direct from
the bank and begin operations.
MAY EXCHANGE PROFS
University Considers Plan to Swap
Teachers With Other Colleges.
As a result of the exchange of pro
fessors, F. C. Ayer, of the education
school, and C. A. Gregory, of the same
department of the University of Iowa,
the University may be led to adopt a
plan of exchanging professors with other
institutions. Karl W. Onthank, secre
tary to President, P. L. Campbell, thinks
thin in a good plan, as it enables the
professors of the different Universities
to become acquainted with outside
methods.
“This does not mean that any such
plan has been definitely adopted as yet,
but if it seems to work well, such action
will probably be taken.” declared Mr.
Onthank. No arrangements have yet
been made to exchange with other
schools.

BUT NICK DOESN’T AGREE
“Scoop” Rathbun, Fred Kiddle and
“Skinny” Scaiefe have been appointed
by “Prexy” Hawkshaw Geary as the high
committee of original jurisdiction in the
matter of rescuing the Koyl Cup from
the hands of Nicholas Jaureguy, student
body president, and awarding this self
same cup to that person whom they
think more worthy of th: honor.
The trouble came about when Scaiefe
arose in class meeting of the seniors yes
terday morning and asserted that Jaure
guy was proving himself no fit person
to carry the honor of possessing the
Koyl cup which is supposed to go to
that senior student who is the best all
around man. Seaiefe's request for a writ
of certiorari was awarded by President
Geary and he was appointed chairman of
the above-mentioned committee.
Late Bulletin:—-Scaiefe called a meet
ing of his committee this morning. He
was the only one present aud tonight
gave the following report: "In the ab
sence of the other two members of the
committee 1 held a meeting and after
considering all matters thoroughly,
finally awarded the cup to myself. The
committee will now proceed to salvage
the cop from Jaureguy.”
Latest Bulletin:—Nicholas Jaureguy
announced today he was drafting co
Lorts to withstand the onslaughts of the
above-mentione committtee for Presi
dent Geary had not awarded him a writ
of :njunction.
CUTTINGS SET ON CAMPUS
Mr. Fisher Beds More Than IOO; Also
Supplied to High Schools.
It.- :,1. Fisher Superintendent of the
University grounds, s having 150 or 200
rose slips set out on the campus. Some
of the older rose hedges are to be re
placed, and in some instances they are
to be enlarged to rose gardens to supply
more people with flowers. The two
varieties, Caroline Testout and Frau
Karl Druschki are to be used, because
they are universal favorites, hardy, vig
orous, and well suited to this climate.
This is the fourth year that the Uni
versity has supplied rose slips to the
high schools of the state. Mr. Fisher
says that they are not sending out as
many this year as they have in past years
as the high schools of the state seem
nearly supplied. The reports indicate
that the roses are growing very well and
that they are much appreciated in the
different localities to which they have
been sent.

ceed Colin V. Dyment, who left the
school of journalism here to head the de
partment of journalism at the University
of Washington.
Alex Bowen, chairman of the senior
play committee, reported that if the class
raised no objections, James Mott, of
Salem who is now coaching “The Dic
tator” would coach “The Climber” for
the senior class. He further stated that
absolutely no partiality would be shown
81 choosing the cast as Mr. Mott chooses
his characters rather by type than by
experience.
“The Climber,” he said “contains nine
principal parts, three minor parts and
13 men. There is a chance for a good
hero and a good villain.”
Emmett Rathbun, chairman of the
class memorial comm'ttee, asked for any
suggestions concerning a suitable memor
ial for the class to leave to the Univer
sity of Oregon.

THESPMUI ARTISTS TO
MIKE BOW FEB. IB
University Players Will Present
“The Dictator,” a Comedy
Masterpiece.
James Mott, Director, Calls
Cast “Best Amateur Act
ors in the World.”
The first rehearsal for “The Dicta
tor.” Richard Harding Davis’s comedy
masterpiece which the University Play
ers will stage at the Eugene theatre
Friday. Feb. Ill, was called at Guild Hall
at S o’clock last evening. James Mott, '
the director, gave the cast a short talk in
which he referred to them as “the host <
amateur actors in the world ” He then <
proceeded to drive the crack cast through
the entire three acts of “The Dictator,”
and at the close of the rehearsal predict
td that the new play would eclipse any
of the University Flayers’ previous suc
cesses.
The story of “The Dictator” has to
do with the strange adventures of one.
Brooke Travers, a young millionaire
yachtsman who has never had to do any
thing more serious than to squander his
patrimony, and who, after a questionable
fight with a cabman, has left New York,
in company with his valet, on the steamer
Bolivar, bound for Central America.
Travers boards the Bolivar on h confi
dential tip of a friendly policeman who
advises him to “beat it” to some country
that has no treaty with the United Staes.
The first act opens on the deck of the
steamer, and immediately the plot begins
to thicken for Travers and his faithful
servant, whom the wireless operator fitly
describes as the two “babes in the
woods.”
Through a series op most amazing
and ludicrous'events, over which Travers
has no control, he turns up at the ship’s
destination as the United States consul
to Porto Banos, the revolution-torn eay
ital of San Manana. By another chain of
circumstances he is forced to start a
revolution of his own. He overthrows
the mushroom government and estab
lishes himself as the dictator of the re
public. Travers is about sis well fitted
for the job of dictator as a high school
girl; but he gets away with it. IIow he
does it forms the story of what is per
haps the funniest comedy on the stage.
The cast of college stars who will
shine in “The Dictator” are as follows:
Brooke Travers.James Mott
Simpson, his valet.Lyle McCroskey
Charlie Hyne ..Alex Bowen
Samuel Codman.Bernard Breeding
Duffy.A1 Holman

new sets of educational slides to the j

schools that the University aims to offer

UNDERCLASSMEN’S MIX
THOUGHT TOO COSTLY
Dean Straub Would Keep Girls
Out of It—“Junior” Stu
dents “Always in Way.”
That n largo proportion of the 25
“flunks” in the freshman class were
caused by the effects of the bonfire, was
the statement, of I)r. Straub before the
student council last night. The size
has now been limited by the faculty to
a pile not moTe than fifteen feet high
and fifteen feet square at the base, and
the Council adopted a resolution endors
ing the faculty’s action.
Commenting upon the guarding of the
‘*0", Dr. Straub ’ rought out the fact
that for a month before the O. A. C.
game from three to five men passed the
night on Skinner’s Butte guarding the
“()”, with serious results both to their
health and grades.
After an earnest discussion in which
the length of time necessary to guard it
was variously given at from five days
to three weeks, the council voted to fix
the length of time at five days preceding
all football games on the campus.
A committee of Ernest Watkins,
Deurn Jernrd and Jennie Huggins, was
appointed to serve ns a nominating com
mittee to name possible candidates for
the position of manager of the Oregonn,
a post left vacant By the resignation of
Creston Haddock.
About $80 remains in the fund for gold
footballs for the varsity members, ac
cording to the report of Ernest Wat
kins. The committee is awaiting bids
from several jewelers before purchasing
the emblems.
Determined to stop the practice of
walking at any convenient place upon
the campus, regardless of grass or paths,
the Council appointed a committee made
up of Bay Couch, Martha Beer nnd
Cleorge Cook to take active mensurcs to
prevent the forming of trails across the
grass plots.
Thtt the Adam lectures may obtain
every possible support, the Council
passed resolutions asking that all houses
and socities on the campus refrain from
scheduling affairs for between seven and
eight o’clock on Feb. 1!), 20, 21 and 22.
Because members *,f the Student Coun
cil were unanimous n their opinion that
the campus is overran by children from
the junior high school, Prof. F. L. Stet
son principal of the high school is to be
invited to attend the next meeting of
the council on Wednesday night nnd ex
plain this fact.
It was Ernest Wbtkins who raised the
question of keeqing the high school
students out of the gymnasium nnd the
assemblies in Villard.
Dean Straub’s •roccomentfation pre
sented to the council last night by *be
Dean included a request that the girls
be kept out of the underclass “mix” be
cause of the heavy expense to the classes
involv<-d through purchasing decorating-*
Dean Straub said that the mix cost the
freshman class $75 and probably cost the
sophomores an equal amount.
Before taking any action upon this
recomendation the Council decided to in
vestigate the cost of the mix with tbs
aim of limiting both classes to the earns
sum, leased upon a sliding scale depend
ing on the number in the class.
Members of the Council present were
Karl Becke, France* Shoemaker, Jean
