GOOD MANAGEMENT The representatives of the men’s or Hnizatlons on the campus took another decided step forward In renewing ofc pon’a interest in debate when they pick ed their topic for the first series at a meeting with Professor Prescott, Thurs day evening. The topic is of live timely Interest, ll denis with the problem of whether Germany should he permitted to partici pate in the proposed league of nations before she has paid debts incurred dur ing thp war. With the wide-spread interest, in de bate already aroused on the campus for this .venr, the selection of live topics was tlie last problem to be fared to assure the return this year of Oregon's pre war strength lu the greatest of intel lectual college activity. If the women of the University choose ns good a topic for their debates which nro to be be preliminary to the final Alan vs. Woman debate, there can be no doubt but that the old enthusiasm for debate will returned despite the fact that Ore gon Is slightly handicapped this year in bringing back the interest because of the necessity for economy with the Student body funds with the result that no inter-state debates will he possible this year. It Is becoming Increasingly evident, however, that Oregon will have good material for Inter-state tennis when the University is aide to again meet the large colleges of the west. The "dough nut series" will regenerate the Interest and develop the material which will be needed nest year. It is doubtful that the debate before the student hotly between the men and women champions will be of more value than its spectacular interest due to the belief that men cannot debate women teams because of the inherent chivalry of the men. Hut men are said to be loosing tills chivalry since the days of King Arthur, the Round Tabic and the Knights who fought death battles for fomen they did not know very well. For the women it is said that they have de veloped a primary Interest in tills final debto and are already considering the glory to come.

"Scotty” Straclmn was a moose when it came to keeping the Beta forwards from shooting. For the Betas, Callison at center, and Howard at forward did good work when they got a chance. The Fijic dearly won their game with out letting the dormitory men get a score. A foul in the latter part of the game gave the Friendly hall men their chance to escape a shutout, and they , slipped one in. l.arry Gray, Johnny IIous I ton, and Art Ritter’s names go in the | column for honorable mention, as they put m> an excellent brand of basketball, and are helping a lot to keep Phi Gam ma Delta in the 1000 per cent class.

C. Crockatt, upon his return Friday from Camp Lewis, where lie has been lectur ing on economics, to the soldiers for the past two weeks. * Professor Crockatt lectured to the sol diers for the two-fold purpose of ac quainting the soldiers with the problem of life after their discharge from the service, and to prevent Bolshevism from spreading. "Four lectures a day were given, three in tho morning and one in the afternoon,” said Professor Crockatt. “The lectures were compulsory and at first the soldiers took little interest in them. After we had finished our lecture we would ask them if there were any questions they wished to ask. The most common ques tion was, ‘When are Vf* going to get dis charged V’ Hmvover, as soon as they per ceived the real purpose of the lectures, many of them took advantage by con sulting tiie employment liureinj.” The professor met several University of Oregon men at Camp Lewis, among them being Rex Stratton, and “Punch” Dunlap, “Punch” had just come from overseas and had spent some time in (Jlasgow, Scotland, which he said, he lik ed be*! of all, for it reminded iftm so mueh*if New York. Mrs. CVonisatt.'who has been recover ing from pneumonia, joined the professor in Seattle, and they returned to Eugene together. ,T. C. Almack, director of the Univer sity extension division, has been con ducting Professor Crockatt’s classes dur ing his absence.

Edison perfected this instrument, Grand Opera itself has been able to offer you no more than the New Edison. If the two million people who have attended Edi son tone tests have been utterly unable to distinguish the artists living voice from the instrument’s RE-CREATION, it is clear that no difference exists, isn’t it? And if there is no difference between the artist’s rendition and the instru ment’s, then obviously the artist can give you no more than “The Phonograph With a Soul” Why, then, do people attend Grand Opera? Merely for the pleasure given the eye—that is the answer. So far as the music is concerned, you can have just as much in your own living room as the opera can offer. You may be a thou sand miles from Broadway, but you are missing nothing. There is but one instrument which actually RE-CREATES the singer’s voice, with complete fidelity—the others merely imitate. And that instrument is the New Edison. Call at our store and learn the difference for yourself. Don’t forget this—the Edison also plays all talking ma chine records.
