Labeling of Class Memorial Trees To Be Asked of Regents Committees (By Roberta L. Killam) Graduates returning to the University will no longer have to carry on a hit-or miss search for their trees. Each will be clearly labeled with its respective class numerals, if the request for a small ap propriation is granted by the executive committee of the board of regents at its next meeting. To the ordinary visitor the campus trees mean only a protty decoration, but to the ex-student they have a peculiar significance. Many were planted by for mer classes to commemorate graduation. There are eighteen such trees, the first of which was placed in 1878. Following is a list giving their class, kind and posi tion on the campus: 1878—English laurel—Near west walk leading from Deady to Villard. 1870—Japanese cedar—N. W. of ’78 laurel. 1880— California Big tree—West of ’79 cedar. 1881— Port Orford cedar—near S. W. corner of Deady hall. 1883— West of Villard. 1884— Cedar—north side of walk from Deady to old athletic track. I860—Cedar—west of 1880 tree. 1886— Fir—near west entrance of Vil lard. 1887— Arbor Vitae—East of Villard. 1888— Larch—near flagpole. 1889— Arbor Vitae—Opposite east Vil-. lerd entrance. 1890— Spruce—across from 1888 larch. 1891— Engilsh cedar—near flag staff. 1892— California redwood—in front of west Villard porch. 1894— Black walnut—near carriage en trance. 1895— Linden—N. W. of Deady hall. 1896— Linden—N. W. of Deady. 1807—Oak—N. E. of Villard. Only four of these trees bear class nu merals today. This may be accounted for by the fact that most of the trees were too small to mark when planted and it is * merely an oversight that they are not now lettered. "Mose of the letters already on the trees have weathered off,” said II. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds. “They are all iron-cast. The material for the new letters should be pliable—perhaps malleable iron. The cost for the whole job would not exceed two dollars, and would only entail a little work.” President P. L. Campbell considers the suggestion good and says that he believes the executive committee will only be too glad to put up the money necessary. “I am heartily in favor of each class tree being numbered in such a way that the work will be- permanent,” he said. “Graduates display a real disappoint ment when they return and find their trees unmarked. I would like to see this remedied before the Pageant and com mencement.” , A. R. Tiffany, graduate manager, and Karl Onthank, secretary to the presi dent, both commend the idea and they have expressed themselves in favor of of having the lettering done as soon as possible. TO PRODUCE CO-EDS’ PLAY “Stephanie Steps Out,” by Bess Colman, to Be Coached by Earl Fleischmann. Earl Fleishmann, who has agreed to coach the next Mask and Buskin play, “Stephanie Steps Out,” by Bess Colman, has announced the cast as follows: Stephanie . Helen Bracht Evelyn. Bernice Lucas Mrs. Bundy. Rosalind Bates Freda . Rosamund Shaw Morgan . Earl Fleischmann Lawrence . AVarren Edwards Ramsey . Victor Seather Rollins . Golden Barnett Rehearsals will start tomorrow night and the date of the play has been set as April 27th. Fleischmann appointed as a committee to handle all business con nected with the play, Victor 'Seather, Helen Bracht and Bernice Lucas. Pres ent plans are to produce the comedy in Guild hall. “Stephanie Steps Out” was written as class work in Dr. Bates’ class in tech nique of the drama and is a modern comedy on the order of “Twin Beds”. This is the second play by Miss Colman that Mask and Buskin has produced. “Yours Respectfully,” a clever one act farce by the campus author, was produc ed by the organization during the sum mer session. “Stephanie Steps Out” is an amusing little comedy and the best work Miss Colman has ever done.” said Mr. Bates.

Oregon Faces Prospect of No Athletic Opponents if War Is Declared. V _ (By William Haxeltine) Although every day sees his track squad depleted by men leaving to join the army, Coach Bill Hayward is still sticking to the job of training and coach ing what material is left him. Don Beld ing, De Witt Gilbert and Ernest Wat kins are practically sure to go before the end of the week. Bradison, a freshman prospect, left to join his company Mon day. A call to arms is certain to draw many other recruits from the ranks of the cinder path artists. Oregon faces the prospects of having no opponents if war is declared. Wash ington, California and Stanford have all agreed to cancel their athletic schedules in the event of war. O. A. C. has taken no such action, however, and appears to support Oregon’s plan of waiting until such a measure is necessary. Since the O. A. C. relay games have been postponed until April 21, the Col umbia indoor meet at Portland April 14 will be the first chance Bill will have of seeing what his half-conditioned ath letes can do in actual competition. The coach will take as many men as he thinks stand any show of winning points. All varsity aspirants as well as the cream of the freshmen talent, Bill is going to keep here during spring vaca tion to work with. The first try-outs of the season were held Saturday on the covered track to determine the representatives of the lemon-yellow at Corvallis. They con sisted of a 50-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard run and a half mile. Time was not taken in any of the events as at least three or four strides were lost in making the turns at each end of the straightaway. “Skinny” Hargreaves won both of the sprints although Goreckzy pressed him closely in the 50. Captain Martin Nel son proved his supremacy in the 440 but came in last of the five that entered the half mile run. Don Belding and Ernest Watkins staged the prettiest race of the after noon in the latter event. Watkins led unil the last turn when Belding opened up with a burst of speed that carried him over the line the winner. “Hank” Foster duplicated Hargreaves’ stunt among the frosh by finishing an easy first in both the 50 and 220. The two heats in the 440 were won by An derson and Birch respectively. Both heats were slow. The 880 soon degen erated into a go-as-you-please affair, many dropping out jefore the race was finished. No field events were attempted on ac count of the soggy condition of the ground and the fear of Strained muscles. Since Saturday the coach has begun work with his jumpers and pole-vaulters. Pete Jensen is going the best of the high jumpers with a mark of 5 feet 6 inches. Jensen and George Gates are leading in the pole vault but thus far their per formances are of mediocre quality. Gates is developing into a fair hurdler under Bill’s coaching. G>reekzy is practic ing the stick events daily in addition to the sprints. Number of Men Enlisted (Continued from page one) its departments. Not students alone, but faculty members as wel lare planning to hasten to the support of the president and the country in the time of stress. Bill Hayward bids his department track men good-by and God speed with the as surance that he will meet them some day in the van of the battle line. Alpha Tau Omega leads at present with the number of vacant chairs already about the table, counting five. Sigma Chi comes next with four, while Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi have one each. The number of men in each house who will go with ordering out of the local militia are: Sigma Nu, five! Kappa Sig ma, three; Sigma Chi, seven; Phi Delta Theta, one; Delta Tau Delta, eight; Al pha Tau Omega, two; Phi Gamma Delta, one. SEWING MACHINE AVAILABLE. That the sewing machine in the Y. W. C. A.

RECEIVES ANCIENT TABLETS - } Twelve clay tablets inscribed in cune iform writing done about 2,350 years ago have been received by Prof. A. It. Swetser from Dr. Edward J. Banks who lectured here come time ago upon his trip through Babylonia and Assyria. Mr. Banks sent the tablets to Professor 'Sweetser to sell, the prices ranging from $1.50 to $5. Of the money which is re ceived for the tablets, Dr. Banks keeps a certain amount and sends the rest to the Arabs who excavate them. As Dr. Banks explained when he was here, places are found in excavation where temples have stood und these old tablets are dug up in remains of oil libraries. Some have written upon them the receipt for one sheep brought to the temple for sacrifice. One of the tablets received by Professor Sweetser is cone shaped and is said to be one of those which were sold in ancient times by the priests to worshipers who came to the temple. When such a tab let was stuck into soft mortar kept by the priests for the purpose, a prayer for the king was supposed to be regis tered. TEACHERS ARE WANTED. Several requests have been received by Dr. H. D. Sheldon for University stu dents to fill vacancies in grammar schools In the Willamette valley. Should any one leaving school or desiring to teach for a time and not having high school require ments care to look into the openings 1 he may have information as to same by | inquiring at the appointment bureau in ] Johnson ball. None of the places pays ! less than $«0 a mouth, and some pay more. They include annual training, do mestic science and regular teaching. The situations will :iot be open as long as the school boards secure teav.ners elsewhere and do not consult the Uni versity. PRESIDENT TO ATTEND MEETING President J. L. Campbell will leave to night for Spokane where he will attend the annual meeting of the Inland Empire Teachers’ association. President Campbell will return to Eu gene either Sunday or Monday.
