I
Oregon Cold Snap
Balmy for Student
from Icy Montana
Oregon has at least one student who
felt warm during the recent unusual fri
gid spell in the Willamette valley. Rox 1
Reynolds arrived in the midst of the cold
blast.
Thursday night ho was walking down !
Thirteenth street with a faculty man who
had his overcoat rolled up around his
ears.
“Fretty warm over here, isn't it?”
Reynolds inquired.
"Yes. rather warm in the summer. Last
year it went up to n-ninety-eight, I re
member.” This reminiscently through :
teeth that threatened to chatter.
“Oh. I didn't mean in the summer. I
mean now,” was the reply.
Ft might be explained here that Rey
nolds. who is a journalism student, hails
from Missoula, Mont., and that it was 15
degrees below zero when he left there
a few days ago.
At that time Oregon students were
complaining of cold feet with the ther
mometer away up around twenty-five
above the zero mark.

nal Man Abroad” columns
Mr. Lockley, according to Erie W. Al
len. dean of the School of Journalism,
is a fine man and very interesting, llis
address, said Dean Allen, will undoubt

istration and also the return of some of
the old members who have been released
from military duties. They are: Peterson,
White, Smith, Leslie, Spangler, Grey,
and Morrison.
Mr. Evans believes the club should
be qualified to take a trip in the spring.

OBIT LEAGUE
FOB DEBATE IT'
SOON BE FORMED
Women's Fraternities as Well
as Men's to Take Up
Forensicse.
A program to make debate an all
around student activity was evolved at
the meeting of a jo lilt representation
from the student a,ad forensic councils
yesterday at o’clock in Johnson hail,
and this will be put before the execu
tive committee of tTM> student body for
final decision when it meets at 1 oeloek
Monday afternoon.
IThe joint committee favored the or
ganization of an inter-sorority and inter
fraternity doughnut debate league and
appointed Helen Breutou and Herman
Lind to head the womens and mens or
ganizations. These heads will, if the
executive committee adopts the program,
select a representative from each house,
who will in turn he responsible for get
ting out a negative and an affirmative
team from their group.
Girls Debate League New
Inter-sorority debate is a new move
ment which lias never been taken tip on
the campus. The joint committee
thought to encourage it and offer an in
centive for its development by adopting
a debate shield similar to that of the
mens. The committee points out that
such a shield would only cost the student
'body about JpliO and would be only a fair
ness to the victorious women who had
gone out for debate.
As a final point of interest the joint
committee suggests that the winning wo
men’s team compete with the winning
'mens' te^m during a,n assembly hour.
This could be done very readily as short
speeches of about six minutes duration
are favored by the committee in prefer
ence to longer ones which might lie too
drawn out for interest. The case of the
Washington-Oregon debate is cited, in
which each speaker had 20 minutes.
Schedule Committee Named
Herald White, who acted as chairman
of the meeting, appointed Itohert W.
l’resecott, professor of public speaking,
and Abe Rosenberg, to work out a sched
ule and a subject for the doughnut de
bate league, to be presented with the
general debate program on Monday to
ilie executive committee. Several meth
ods of scheduling as well as a variety
of question's are now in consideration
Tlte joint conKitutee also decided that
interstate debates would have to be
eliminated for the present on account
of their expense and the inability of the
student body to finance supporting ac
tivities. This does away with the pos
sibilities of a triangular debate with the
Universities of Washington and British
Columbia.
0. A. C. Debate Favorod "
A debate with < >. A. was heartily
favored by tin1 committee and the mut
ter will he put up to the executive
board. It is expected that the latter
will sanction a debate with Oregons old
rivals regardless of the small deficit in
curred by the trip.
The joint committee was composed of
Herald White, chairman, Klla Dews,
secretary, Robert W. Prescott, ex-offi
cio member, and Ruth Graham, Marie
Badura and Abe Rosenberg.
LIBRARY TO OPEN SUNDAYS
Will Continue War Measure as Peaco
Expediency Says Douglass.
The University library, according to
M- II. Douglass, librarian, will remain
open Saturday night from t> to 10 and
Sunday afternoons front 2 to 0, during
the year. “We adopted this schedule last
term, said Mr. Douglass, “as a war meas
ure, and will now maintain it as a peace
expediency.
L»aBt year the library closed Satur
day nights and Sundays and according
to Mr. Douglass many students ex
pressed their desire to use the library
during this time. We will keep on with
this new schedule, Mr. Douglass said
today, “for at least another term. It in
entirely up to the students.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Men who have not arranged their two
hours .physical education for this term
may do so Monday at the gymnasium
between the hoars of 10 a. ru. and 4
p. m. *
Underclassmen Get
Another Course in
Hep! Hep! Left Face!
"Comp-bany, ‘ten-sbun! Right dress!
Front! Right face; left face; about face;
don't face; quit making faces!”
The dread thing has happened. The
military is back into its own again. No
more are the under-elassmen free citi
zens. Once again they are to be soldiers.
Horrors!
Vague rumors that they were going to
he made to drill again frightened the
underclassmen during vacation, hut they
put it down as another war scare, and
promptly forgot about it. Then one of the
Portland papers printed an article saying
that drill was to be one of the required
subjects at the University by reason of
the newly formed unit of the It. O. T. V.
This made it more serious, but still they
did not give up hope.
And then came the final blow. The
Kmerald came out with a story confirm
ing the outrage. Yesterday posters prom
inently displayed on the campus instruct
ed all under-classmen to report at the
drill shed. With many groans and ill-for
bodings, they assembled, promptly at !1:!10
to be greeted affectionately by Colonel
Rowen and Lieutenant Garrett. Tattle
time was lost in forming the men into
two companies, and for the twentieth
time, they learned how to fall in. to right
face, about face, left face, right dress,
etc.
It must not be thought, however, that
the advantages of the R. O. T. ('. are lost
sight of by the men.
They are fully appreciated, but at the
same time, three hours of drill a week,
looms up ns a frightful spectre before
most of the sophomores and freshmen.
Taylor, Grey, Simola, Ruther
ford Not to Participate.
The wrestling outlook is very poor this
year and there is a possibility that this
sport be dropped from the calendar, ac
cording to Dean Walker. There are three
men back who were on last: year’s team
George Taylor, Harold Grey and Rudy
Rut herford.
Taylor was thrown from a horse while
in the government service and his injur
ies will prevent him from entering.
Rutherford lias completed his college
work and though this will eliminate him
from actual participation lie can insist
“Shy” in conditioning the men.
Harold Grey, who is a senior, feels
that lie lost considerably in a scholastic
way by being sent to Camp Taylor and
wishes to spend as much time as possible
on bis studies. Arvo Simula is in Franco,
and Dwight Wilson will not return to col
lege this year.
Rollin Woodruff, who showed up well
during bis freshman year is the only
man of any experience left in college.
Lack of interest, and llie intensity of the
training are among the reasons why
wrestling may lie dropped. If, however,
the sport is resumed. “Shy” Huntington
will coach and matches will probably b ■
scheduled with (). A. C. and tlio I'ni
versity of Washington.
NONE SEEK TO BE CADET
Annapolis Examinations to be Held
Soon Incite Some Interest However.
Many inquiries but no direct applica
tions have been received at the presi
dents office for the Annapolis examina
tions to be conducted at the University
January 17. Any young man 'between the
ages of 10 and 'JO years on April 1, 1910,
wuu liver, ',n the first congressional dis
trict of Oregon may enter this compet
itive examination for appointment to the
u. S. naval academy. The appointment
will be made by Congressman W. C
Hawley.
A principal and two alternates are to
he recommended. The examinations,
both mental and physical, are rigid, says
Professor E. E. DeCou, who will be
chairman of the examining board.
Applicants must pass examinations in
punctuation, spelling, English grammar,
geography, United States history, arith
metic algebra through quadratic equa
tions, and plane geometry.
Appointments will probably lie made
in April. Sample examination questions
and further details of information may
its obtained from the presidents office.

FOR ALL STUDENT
Lively Comedy Full of Laughs
to Call Forth Dramatic Tal
ent On the Campus.
GIRL USHERS IN COSTUME
ARE ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Tag Day for Financial Aid May
Take Place With Ella Dews
In Charge.
“Slop Thief is the rollicking farce
that has boon chosen for the all student
body play. So on Saturday night, Feb
ruary S, all roads will lead to the Etogene
theater, where for one night will ho
played the production upon which all
hopes an1 banked to raise the student
body from its debt of $2,(10.
ITlie co-operation of the entire cam
pus with that, of the dramatic depart
ment will be necessary. Already the
music department has pledged itself and
tilie orchestra pit will be occupied by
I’rofcssor Barron and his 15 players.
The School of Architeecture has come
forward and promises to help with scen
ic effects. The Fniversity press is rea
dy to offei its services for posters.
Miss Banficld to Pick Cast
Charlotti' HunfV'ld, coach of the play,
I wil choose the cast a* soon as the hooks
[arrive from Sin Kraneisco. Her ad
vanced class in dramatic interpretation
[ will form the nnclens from which to
draw the players, hut it is probable that
outside sources of dramatic a baity will
also he hailed upon.
An added feature of the evening will
he the group of feminine ushers in cos
tume. These girls will come one from
each house on the campus and will he
elected by the members of the individ
ual house or hall. Just what these girls
will represent is not divulged.
Tt is also rumored that an exclusive
line party is to lie given, the chape
rones of the campus being those hon
ored.
May Have Tag Day
Kiln Hews, chairman of the entire
event, and assisted by lassie -Maguire and
Ned I-'owler. will probably instigate nn
| other tag day. The selling of tickets
[ will thus take place largely on t*he cam*
[ ims by means of booths. These tags i,n
I dienting scats bought will mean the us
ual flutter to which everyone has be
come so accustomed.
A royalty whV h is yet uncertain will
-probably have to be paid along with tho
rent of the play house. Costuming will
probably not be an item, as modern
clothes are called for. Prices are to be
kept as low us possible, only high enough
to insure the payment of the debt.
STUDENT OF ’93 TO RETURN
