(MO TIME TO CRITICIZE CAR CONDUCTOR, ELEVATOR JOB faculty Members Address Mass Meeting Telling of Posi tions Open. The world needs college-trained wo men. This was the keynote of the talks given by the faculty women of the Uni versity, at a mass meeting for girls, held at Villard hall Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The purpose was to give the college women some idea of the various vocations now' opening up to them and their place in world war work. “Learn to study, learn to think, leajn how to grasp things. Learn to see the world broadly,” said Miss Mary Watson, instructor in the English literature de partment. “Every girl must be in war work. No girl has a right to stay at home and do nothing. She should do jome productive work. She should work this summer.” Vassar Girls Work Hard. Miss Watson pointed out the serious ness with which Vassar girls were now itudying, and told of the growth of every phase of work, and the increase in en rollment. “Just as the trained college men be come officers so the college-trained women will be wanted by the govern ment,” said Miss Watson. “Unless you have this training you will not give the best you have. The junior and senior girls should prepare for definite war work. The freshman and sophomore girls must get the foundation, the broad Structural work which is vital.” Miss Lillian Tingle gave results of her recent trip to Portland to find out just what the college girl could do to help win the war. She emphasized that wherever she went she heard the cry for thoroughly trained women. Must Have Super-training. “No women are wanted with short course war-work preparation.” said Miss Tingle. “College women are needed, but they must have from four to eight years’ training. The super-nurse is wanted, not the nurse. The super-trained is wanted, aot the trained. But all of you can do war work any day in the year. Stay at iome, do not eat sugar, meat, or wheat (Continued on page two) MISS LOUISE EHRMANN TO BE NEW DEAN OF WOMEN Executive Committee Names California Teacher as Substitute for Dean Elizabeth Fox.

STOCKING LOST ON STREET BY GIRL FROM UNIVERSITY Charlie Fenton Is the One; She Gets It Out of Police Station Next Morn ing for “Dobby.” To lose a stocking on the streets of San Francisco stems a very small thing, vet Charlie Fenton, ’10, has re cently received headline notices in the K.n Francisco Call, because she lost one while rushing down Market street for a streetcar. That night the paper announced that the missing article had been found and could l>e redeemed at police headquar ters. Miss Fenton immediately claimed her property and gave the following ex planation: “I was knitting some socks for Dobby Garrett. I kept the completed sock in my knitting bag, and as I dashed down Market street for a car, I felt something fall. It was the sock.” Miss Fenton thinks Dobby, who grad uated from Oregon in 1910, will be sur prised when he hears that one of his sock* spent the night in a police sta tion. MARIAN TUTTLE WILLIAMS BACK _ I Wife of Army Captain Will Re-enter University Next Term. Mrs. Marian Tuttle Williams has re turned from Fort Stevens, where she has been with her husband. Captain Will iam A. Williams. Mrs, Williams, who is a senior, will re-enter the University next term. One Minute of Darkness to Precede Big Show Opening ! With one eye on the weather man <nd his dope sheet for the coming 48 hours, and the other on their fast grow ing window displays, the merchants of Eugene are priming themselves for the $rand opening of the city's fourth an aual dress-up week, scheduled for 7:30 /clock tomorrow evening. It's sure going to be some show. Promptly at 7:20 o’clock—and you want to have the old Ingersol tuned up to the dot—all of the lights in the city will go dead for one minute. Sixty sec onds of darkness is hardly time enough for even the most inquisitive curbstone explorer to do himself much damage, but it will be plenty long enough to com plete a transformation little short of perfect. When the "great white way” eomes into being again there wall be uore to see in the display windows along Willamette and the other business streets than was ever crowded into a hree-ring circus. Just what all these wonderful sights ire to be nobody is telling, and the prin cipal reason for their silence is the fact that they don't know any more ibout what is going on inside those cov ered windows than you do. The canvai iraped store front that hac e been in ,-ogue this week are not the sequence of an epidemic of broken plate glass, t»s you may have surmised. Behind each md every such curtain is a stage in-the setting, and the beauty of the whole hing is that you acn see the stage, the lartine and the whole show for the small sum of nothing—but not until tomorrow night. Oh, yes, probably the demonstration will be the cause of a separation be tween you and a portion of your bank roll in the long run. but it’s not going to cost you anything to slip down town and take a look. Just leave your purse at home, strut along down and get an eye full of sights and both ears full of music. There will be two bands on tap to give the proper atmosphere—the University woman's band and the Eugene municipal agfrogation--and Director Perfect is go ing to have a session with each of them, one at a time. But—just a tip before the lights go out—when you are wandering up and down the streets admiring the acts, don’t linger too long in any one place, or you don’t be able to see it all in one night and get back to the campus in time for that S o’clock exam Friday morning. Anyway, you won’t be able to decide which display is the best, that is. not officially. There’s to be a board of judges fo mhat and it’s decisions will carry more with them than an opinion. They are to award the prizes, one for the most beautiful »nd artistic display, another for the most original, and sev eral for reasons we have forgotten about. If, however, you feel that you can't wait 24 hours to get a line on what i those windows are to contain, just run through the ads in this issue of the Emerald and you will have a pretty good j hunch a* to what may be exnoot^d.

INVENTOR ADOPTS SLOGAN COINED BY LILLIAN TINGLE “Frying Pan Must Go” Used in Adver tising Propaganda for New Kitchen Utensil. T'sing Miss Lilian Tingle’s preachment that the frying pan must go, the in ventor of a new kitchen utensil has started an active advertising campaign. A letter was received by Miss Tingle yesterday, upon her return to her desk from a trip to Portland, containing tw > attractive dodgers headed, “Frying Pan Must Co.” and a communication for Miss Tingle personally. “I have committed an unpardonable sin.” began the letter. “I have used part of your preachment as an adver tisement and have left out the rest.” The inventor would reimburse Miss Tingle for her acknowledged aid by sending one of his patent pans “with out price or penalty,” and, if she will pay the express or postal charges, it shall he hers forever, with never a hill impending. He declares that should Miss Ti’ig'c find that the pan does not prove ail that it is advertised, she may re turn it and her postage will be re funded, or she may keep it to use con. vincinglv over the head of her husband to-be. FROSN BASKETBALL CLOSES WITH TRIP Team Goes*South and Annexes Two Victories to String at Coquiile and Marshfield. Scores of 70-29 and 63-10 Piled Up by Babes Against Coast Town High Schools. With two more victories added to their long list for the season, the freshman basketball team returned from south ern Oregon Sunday afternoon. The first contest with the Coquille hoopers ended with the large margin of 70 to 29 in favor of the “babes," and the second, witlj the Marshfield aggregation, with a total of B.'i to 10 for Oregon. The greatest thing the first-year men had to speak of was the fine hospitality that was shown them by the people of the two towns in the south. They were met at the trains by a large delegation, und were treated royally during their entire stay in each town. Member* of the opposing fives drove them about in machines and showed them the sights, and a dance was held in their honor aft er each contest. The fresh spenk very highly of their hosts, and express the opinion that they have never received such good treatment on n previous trip. Durno Makes 14 Baskets. Dump and Jacobberger did the lar gest part of the scoring for the “babes” in both contests. In the first, the for mer made a record for the year by hooping 14 field baskets and converting [two fouls for a total of 30 points. Sev eral of the field throws were from very difficult angles, and brought the fans to their feet. In the second game, the stellar little forward again dropped the hall into the ring for 11 field goals and 7 foul throws, for a total of 29 points. Jacobberger also made an enviabe record for himself by scoring 11 baskets in the initial contest and 7 in the latter. Chapman played up to form in his berth at guard, and rushed dowrn the floor and scored 4 baskets in the former fray and 6 in the latter. The squad, consisting of Durno, .Tacoh berger, Starr, Chapman, Rrnndon, and Ilenninger, left Eugene at noon on Fri day. Coach Dean Walker was unable to accompany them on the tour because tif his duties as coach of the baseball team. These contests are the final ones of a very successful season for the “babes.” Four trips, one to Roseburg, one to Chemnwn. one to Corvallis, and the one to Marshfield and Coquille, helped to make the season worth while tj) the members of the squad. The only con tests that, were lost were three of the four against the Aggie rooks. Seven contests were won. Every member of the team is plan ning on returning next fall, so chances appear very bright for a winning five for the Varsity during the 1919 season. Coach Walker was very well satisfied with the showing made by his proteges during the season just passed, and said that he never worked with a more will ing squad. Every man was anxious to learn ajl he could about the gnme. This, Walker said, was the rpasnn for the fine record made during the season. WOMEN’S BAND TO PLAY FOR DRESS-UP OPENING Decorated Streetcar to Be Concert Plat form for University Girls Thursday Evening. In n specially decorated streetcar, the University woman’s band will make its first appearance down town Thursday evening, for the window display celebra tion.

At 7.-0 the lights will flash off for a minute while the decorated windows are un covered. At 7:25 the special car will stop in front of the library for the band, and from there it will proceed down town. A concert will probably be given at the corner of Kleventh and M illamette streets. Director Albert Perfect will be unable to be with the band all evening, due to the fact that be is director of the mu nicipal band, which will also play. Dur ing his absence. P. Burton Arant, a sen ior. will act as director. HAYWARD’S OPERATION IS COMPLETE SUCCESS Condition of Varsity Coach Reported to Be Much Improved Late This Afternoon. Word received from Portland late this afternoon indicate* tbgn ‘‘11111'' Hay ward. Oregon’s famous track coach and trainer, who underwent an operation for ulcer of the stomach in the Portland Surgical hospital yesterday morning, ia rallying rapidly, and that the operation whs a success in every particular. It will he several weeks, however, before he will be able to resume his work on the campus. From the time he went down to Port land ten days ago, Hayward has been gaining strength daily, but the Attending physicians advised an operation as nec essary if he was to fully regain his nor mal strength. Tt is announced that the coach will be able to see visitors the latter part of this week or the first of next. TIFFIN! LOOKS FOi FEW KWSTUDEKTS Registrar Expects Entering Freshmen to Counterbal ance Number Lost by Withdrawal. Many Pay Registration Fees to Avoid Returning Until Tuesday, April 2. Now students for the third term, which opens Monday, April 1, will, in the opinion of Registrar Tiffany, be just about sufficient in number to keep regis tration up to its present standard. The number of withdrawals has so far not exceeded ordinary expectations, nor, on the other hand, has the advance dope on new seekers for high education any thing startling in it; there are no signs of a mad rush this way It must be remembered, however, that under the preaent system a single term of college work is very short, and that the third term begins in April'. and the thoughts of the young arc warranted to turn to almost anything under the sun but math and chemistry and English “comp’ when the spring days come. Tiffany Is Optimistic. Mr. Tiffany, however. foelR extremely optimistic over the fact that two new students have already slipped $6 apiece over the marble counter to Comptroller Johnson, and a.iys that should be quite enough to cheer anyone up this time of year. Furthermore, he considers the signs of the times not nearly so drab as they might he legitimately expected, which, in the king's English, means that not nearly as many students are taking out withdrawal cards as might. ^ Many Register Early. Tuesday, which was set aside as of ficial registration day, saw Johnson hall lined with students completing their registration, practically all day, and present indications are that the comp troller shoveled in many a reluctant $(> from anxious vacationers. The hig idea is that you have to pay the $6 anyway—why not do it now and get to stay in your own home town a day longer” Fees paid before Friday will make it possible for students to remain away until time for classes to begin, on Tuesday, April 2. Otherwise they must he paid Monday, April 1, and to pass April fool's day up will cost you 8 joker, of just $2, before you are accorded the privilege of settling down to classes.

GRUDCOMES TO AID VARSITY TRACK MEN Darwin Bristow Volunteers as Coach During Absence of Hayward; More Men Needed. Champions Lacking But Mate rial Gives Promise of Devel oping Several Winners. Darwin Bristow, former Oregon track star, «n<i a prominent Eugene business man, trill take over the work of “Bi’i’’ Hayward, and try to get the Varsity track men in condition for the spring marts. This news was given oat at a meeting of the track men, held in the gymnnsinm Monday evening. The 35 or 40 men who attended thiJ meeting are all that hare turned out for track as yet, and as they have been aide to accomplish little without the nttl of an experienced coach, they re1 eeived the news of Bristow's appoint ment with joy. ■» More Men Are Needed. "The meeting Monday was intended to get a little pep aronaed among the track and field men," said Dean Walker yesterday, ‘‘and with the services of Bristow we are sure going to have some track team. Bristow is donating his timi and experience to the fellows, and he deserves all the support that can he given him.” Bristow volunteered his serriees when he saw the position the Oregon team was m when Hayward was forced to give up active work on account of hit health. He is oat every night with the men and they are putting more effort into ihe work. Rocard Man Missing. The new coach is confident that h* will be able to round out. a good team from the candidates that, are out, hut he thinks that there should be tboirt twice as many candidates out aa have put in their appearance.

M. Cl PRESIDENT Soptiomore Elec' * by Small Majority Over Merritt Whitten; 36 Votes Cast. New Constitution Passed Unan imously; Polls Are Open Three Hours. What was probably the closest T. M. C. A. election ever held on the campus of the University, was the election yes terday afternoon, when Harold White, a sophomore on the campus, and a prominent member of the association for the last year, was elected to the office of president over Merritt Whittsn, also a sophomore, by s majority of four votes. White reecived 20 votes to Whit ten's 10. making a total of 36 votes east for president. , The other officers elected for the coming year are: Lindsay McArthur, vice president; Warren Gilbert, record ing secretary; Elmo Madden, financial secretary. The race for financial sec retary came out with a final vote of 17 to 16 in favor of Madden againat llichard Thompson, making the margin hut one vote. The new constitution, which provides for the installation of officers for the year at least three weeks after election, was passed unanimously. This will prob ably mean that the annual banquet of the Y. M. C. A. will be held some time during the first week of college, after the opening of the new term. At this time White will announce his cabinet for the coming year. Probably due to the fact that the poll* were open but three hours, the voting was very small. A fact which alao had some influence was that all member* were required to p*y their dues before voting.
