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.

Coach Hayward Sticks to Job of
Training Material That
Is Left to Him.
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. Bungalow will bo available te any
co-ed who desires to use St during the
Spring vacation, is the announcement of
Miss Tirza Dinsdale, general secretary
of the association.
Several girls have signed up to get
any kind of sewing to do during the va
cation. Anyone wanting help may get
information from Ruth Wilson at Mary
Spiller hall or from Helen Brenton.
The classes in sewing for war relief
and the millinery class will be resumed
1 at the Bungaow following vacation.
An Early Start Counts
a great deal toward the success
and enjoyment of any branch of
athletics, as well as in all other
lines of human endeavor.

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.
