ATTENDANCE AT ASSEMBLIES.
For yen res through the files of The
/Draertild runs si series of appeuls to the
students of the University and particu
larly to the freshman class for attend
ance at the Wednesday morning assembly
of the A. S. U. O. Attendance at the
assemblies this quarter indicates that the
appeal is needed again, and that as far
as permanent good to the student body,
the former appeals have failed.
Yet Oregon has brought to the campus
many prominent authorities and brilliant
speakers of national reputation in all
lines in which the Oregon student, is in
terested through his studies at the Uni
$
versify- More of this typo of men and
women are to come to Oregon this year.
These men and women offer students
Information and an outlook upon their
different lines of work vitally necessary
to a successful college course. Always it
has been urged that the student body of
Oregon is democratic and that nil stu
•lents should for the good of the Univer
sity attend the assemblies as they are
tile only place where all tile students get
together, it is evident, however, that
there is a selfish self-interest in attend
in' student assemblies which present men
and women who can be heard in no other
place and who add so much to the stu
dents’ pursuit of a college education.
The freshman rule should he enforced.
The first year men and women can then
learn for themselves tin* value of the
high type of student assemblies Oregon
lias been having for the Inst few years.
Upperclassmen should know by this time
if they are real Oregon men and women.
No rule for their attendance tins ever
been necessary, should not ho now.
And when the students are in assem
bly, it was suggested before the student
council last week, it is no particular
mark of the college man and woman to
•oinerse with neighbors in the assembly
while the speaker is talking. The prae
tiee of some freshmen in trying to play
fire drill at the end of the hour and beat
the women out in it. was also condemned
by the council ns a little careless on the
part of the freshmen in that they are
counted college men.
A BASK FTHALL OPPOHftlNITY
The Oregon varsity basketball tram
this m'a!- it lia■- a it trarii and a heavy
schedule to it!a\ iu the northwest eou
ferenee. Four games are sebeduled for
this we. k. and at le ast one game a week
until March V
This is a better aud heavier schedule
of games than Oregon has had since,
three years ago, the experiment of with
drawal from inter-collegiate was tried
and found unsatisfactory. During that
period on non-participation in basket
ball with other leading universities of tja/
coast, Oregon lost much of her ability
through the fact that an entire new team
must be built up with no old men to build
j around. To this handicap was added the
war and the consequent “floating” stu
dent body of the past two years. As a re
sult Oregon has not been equal to her
former standing in the basketball floors
of the coast and northwest conferences.
Now, with some men of former experi
ence at Oregon on the squad, a good
schedule, Oregon has an opportunity to
regain her standing in this sport. That
Oregon students are alive to this fact
and will try to put it across, was evi
denced Inst Friday afternoon when an
exceptional basketball crowd filled the
gymnasium at the close of the biggest
basketball rally Oregon has seen for
years. But the Oregn student duty is not
ended. It will be necessary to keep up
the same interest through the varsity’s
big schedule if Oregon is to earn her
former place in basketball.
WOMENS BASKETBALL
Oil Thursday ernninig the final Tff the
women's series far the basketball cham
pionship will be played in the men’s
■gym
More than usual interest attache* to
this event, because it is to determine
the winner of the Hayward cup for this
year. The seniors who contest with
the freshmen have announced their stern
determination to carry off for a fourth
time the trophy which has the numerals
'10 engraved on it t.breo consecutive
times already.
The freshmen, who have been showing
up remarkably well, promise the seniors
a good fight and have their own ideas
as to the outcome of the game.
The women’s game deserves the snip
port. of the students, first for its own
sake and second! because the proceeds
of the game will apply on the woman’s
building fund.
A request comes from the gymna
sium department that the rooting at
the game be confined to cheering for the
teams and other organized rooting. In
dividual onoouragememit. for the benefit
of the players ^is not desired.
The sale of tickets is progressing rap
idly and a good crowd is expected.
HI BIOLOGY
TO BE NEW COURSE
Beginning Classes in Botany
and Zoology will be
Combined.
A new course In general biology is
going to be offered next year which will

ology la. It will take the place of two
introductory courses offered this year,

and of zoology has been duplication to
a considerable extent, in the opinion of .
Prof. Sweetscr, aud is because of this,
thuA they are to be combined. The
course wiU combine the principles of
plaut biology and animal zoology. It will .
be a study of the cell, its structure, func
tion and relation to heredity, and an in- I

One Ford, Two Betas, Two Thetas
Pins One Heavy Villain, Equal—
Subtraction of Gasoline Lessens Flivver’s Speed and Adds to
Mystery—Reward Offered
for Solution.
This is the sad tale of two Betas,
one a well known senior, and two Thetas.
It is replete with tragedy, thrilling events i
and gallant acts of self-sacrifice- The
dramatis personae consist of two hero
ines, two Fords, four heroes, one pair
at pliers and a dyed-in-the-wool villain.
The time was Sunday night at 10:15.
The first scene is laid at tine Peter Pan.
The two Thetas were looking apprehen
sively at the clock, which was slowly
winding its way toward 10:30. Their
apprehensive glances were reassuringly
answered by the Betas with hearty as
sertions that theirs was a speedy Ford.
Alas, they did not see the villain, who
was at that very moment hiding behind
the soda fountain.
The climax Of this tragedy coxnes in
the inext scene. It is ten minutes later.
The “speedy Ford” is burning up the
highway at a lively rate, when of a sud
den it coughs, rears up on its heels,
and refuses to go further.
"D-n,” murmured the prominent
Beta between his teeth, so low that it
could .nioit. he heard for more than three
blocks.
“Ob, dear,” whispered the Thetas in
such a gentle tone that a man a 'block
i_ _
and a half away jumped behind a tree
and threw up his hands.
“Out of gas,” grated the two Betas
in concert. “I don't see bow it could
happen,” apologized the senior. “ I know
I filled it up this morning.”
Exit the two Betas, rushing toward
the nearest garage in search of gaso
line. Three minutes elapse. A cyclone
breezes up the street, stopping in £
metallic jam/g beside the Beta Ford. It
is another Ford, and contains the other
two heroes, two Phi Dolts- Quick ex
planations follow, and in minus time,
the two Thetas are in the second'Ford,
speeding toward home n.nd next week
end dates. They arrive safely at one
second before 10:30. Profuse^ thanks
to the Phis follow.
Back at the deserted Ford, things are
happening. The gleeful villain -comes
out from behind the tree. Quickly he
dives underneath the car and turns on
the gasoline. Leaving a stream/'of
hcuokies in his wake, he glides into the
darkness, just as the two Betas return,
alarmed §t seeing the car empty. The
puzzle is: Who is the prominent Beta
senior, a,nd who is the villain? Answers
to tille latter should be turned in at the
Beta hoaice. The correct guesser wall
receive two pretzels.

ALL MEN’S HOUSES CHOOSE
(Continued from Page 1.)
Theodora Stoppenbach, Helen Manning;
Hendricks Hall— Wanda Daggert,
Elaine Cooper, Alys Sutton, Laura
Montes, Mabel Black, Ethel Wakefield,
four to compose the team and two for
alternates, coach, Dr. B. S. Bates.
“Things are going fine,” said Herman
Lind. “Every house is going into the de
bate. I have been talking with the fellows
and they are all enthusiastic in their
work.
“The library sees debaters hunting up
material every day,” according to Helen
| Brenton, “and the staff is kept busy
helping look up arguments. Every or
ganization on the campus is working,
some of them holding tryouts. The girls
of the Oregon Club team have scheduled
a series of conferences with their coach.”
Girls Alter Schedule.
The girls have made out a new sched
ule and will have the double debates and
not the single as stated before. The
schedule is:
Affirmative Negative
Kappa Alpha Theta vs. Pi Beta Phi
Chi (Jhnegn vs. Alpha Phi.
Hendricks Hall vs. Delta Gamma
Delta Delta Delta vs. Oregon Club.
Gamma Plii Beta vs Kappa Kappa O.
Kappa Kappa O. vs. Kappa Alph T.
Delta Gamma vs. Gamma Fhi Beta.
Oregon Club vs Chi Omega.
Alpha Phi vs. Delta Delta Delta.
Pi Beta Phi vs. Hendricks Hall.
No judges for the debates have been
selected ns yet and according to Prof.
Tl. W. Prescott, this is an important
matter which is being neglected. “It is
important.” he states, “that these teams
get together and choose their judges
before all the faculty people have made
other engagements for that evening. The
first of the series, February 6, 7:f>0. is '
not far off and the teams should be look- ■
ing into the matter of judges.”
Men’s Question Interpreted.
Professor Prescott also gives an inter
pretation of the question the men are to
debate.
“The question as stated is: Resolved,
That the Allies should not admit Ger
many to their league of nations until
Germany shall have made restitution and
reparation ns provided in the terms of.
peace.
“The question takes for granted that :
the Allies will put through some kind
of n‘ league; also that there will be a|
bil If or damages which Germany will be
called upon to pay. .
“The question does not necessarily
mean that Germany shall be admitted to
the league ns soon as she shall have1
liquidated this bill for damages. This is
but one of many conditions that might
be made prerequisite to her admission.
For example. Germany might satisfy ap
proved claims for reparation and still,
through unrepentance or through doni- *
Ination by autocratic or Bolshevik ele- I
moots, fail to demonstrate fitness for ,
membership in a society of nations pledg
ed to justice and to peaceful settlements !
of disputes.
“Tile question, then, restated, is: Re- >
solved. That one condition to Germany’s ;
admission to the league of nations should
be the liquidation of that part of her
debt to the allies which arises out of
approved claims for reparation and res
titution.”
Professors Prescott, Gilbert and
Crockatt will be
Judges.
A tryout for the University represent
ative in the annual intercollegiate ora
torical contest will be held at 4 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon, January 29 in
Dean John Straub’s room, according to
an announcement made by R. W. Pres
cott, professor of public speaking.
Two contestants, Norris Jones of Ra
ker and Ralph Hoeber of Portland hand
ed in their names yesterday to Professor
Prescott.
The contest will be held at the Uni
versity Friday, March 14. The last con
test on the campus was held eight years
ago, and was won by Carlton Sphncer,
who graduated in 1913.
Judges for the tryout will be Professor
Prescott, Professor Peter Crockatt and
Dr. .T. II. Gilbert.
