NO. 50. Judges Chosen; Large Amount of Reference Material Compiled. GIRLS TO ARGUE FIRST; PLACES MOT YET FIXED Teams Already Picked; Men Mot Yet Separated into Neg ative or Affirmative. ■With only two weeks more time, the judges chosen, and large quantities of reference material compiled at the li brary, the campus debaters are firing up for the second series of doughnut ■debates. The judges which have been chosen 'by the six women's houses competing include the following: Hendricks Hall >—Oregon Club debate, R. C. Clark, H. C. Howe and Dean Stra'ub; Gamma Phi Beta-Alpha Phi debate, Carl On thank, E. W. Allen and D. \Y. Morton; Pi Beta Phi-Gamma Phi Beta debate, J. H. Gilbert, George Turnbull and W. F. G. Thacher: Kappa Kappa Gamma Hendricks Hall debate, A. R. Tiffany, H. A. Clark and J. J. Landsbury; Ore gon Club-Pi Beta Phi debate, Miss Perkins, F. G.' G. Schmidt and Miss Gladys Gorman; Alpha Phi-Kappa Kap pa Gamma debate, Dean Walker, Miss Harriet Thomson and E. S. Bates. It is probable that the men’s teams will choose the same judges and inas much. as the women are going to de bate first as they did before, these judges will serve for the men’s debate in whatever hall their respective wo men's teams debated. As yet the places for the debates have not been an nounced, although Helen Brenton, head of the women's debate league, says that at formerly they will be in six of the largest assembly halls on the campus. The women’s houses have already chosen their affirmative and negative teams which are to compete as fol lows: Pi Beta Phi affirmative, Laura Rand and Pearl Craine, versus Gamma Phi Beta , negative which has not been se lected as yet. Gamma Phi Beta affirmative which has not been selected versus Alpha Phi negative, Laura Canning and Elizabeth Hadley. Kappa Kappa Gamma, affirmative, Mary Evans and Norma. Medler versus 5-Iendricks Hall, negative, Ethel Wake field and Alys Sutton. Alpha Phi, affirmative, Gwladys Bowen and Dorothy Reed versus Kap jia Kappa, Gamma, negative, Mary El len Bailey and Mildred Apperson. Hendricks Hall, affirmative, Wanda Daggett and Elaine Cooper versus Ore gon Club, negative, Helen Flint and Jessie Todd. Oregon Club affirmative, Marie Rid ings and Grace Knopp versus Pi Beta Phi, negative, Alice Thurston and Clara Calkins. Although the men’s teams have been chosen they have not been sep arated into affirmative and negative sides. This will probably be done at an early date. BILL PASSED IN HOUSE $235,000 Appropriation for University Now Before Senate. The appropriation bill providing for £235.000 for the University passed the house yesterday without a dissenting vote- The senate will take action very soon on the bill. Of the $235,000, $135,000 is for main tenance in additioh to that provided by the millage tax. and $100,000 is for the new women’s building. Herbert Gordon, formerly of Eugene, who is chairman of the committee on •ways and means, explained that the ap propriation for the women’s building is to match funds raised by private sub scription and as fast as sums of $25,000 are raised, the secretary of state is in structed to issue a warrant for n like :imount from the appropriation. Seniors Now Twirl Lip Adornment with Accomplished Hands “Ah-ha! The villain twirled liis mus tache and dashed up the steps of the li brary.” Now let it be said that the yjlain is a member of the senior class and as all seniors are supposed to be very busy it was quite in order for him to dash madly up the marble front of the state ly edifice known as the library. At the top of the library steps the villain stopped and turned around and cast his eagle eye over the assembled multitude. Again he twirled his mus tache. Well, why shouldn't he twirl his mustache? Is he not Skinney Newton, and has lie not one of the best soup strainers that any member of the sen ior class cm boast? As he turned around he almost fell over Donald Sinythe, who also has a crop of alfalfa just above his food trap. Coming across the campus, the villain entered Friendly hall, where he met Hap Eckerson with his facial decora tion of near red. All three of these mentioned above are going strong in the race for honors along mustache lines. The contest is supposed to rum until the next senior class meeting, at which time the members who cannot show Bfore or less of a mustache will be given an opportunity to dip in the briny deep. Now, the seniors were supposed to meet yesterday, but for some reason did not, and the members of the class who are leading the race are of the opinion that someone is framing on them in order that tin*- shall have to wear their foli age all year. There is also a rumor, deep and dark, that some members of the class have Bolshevikcd an the order of things and have shaved. Chuck Comfort, it is said, is oue who is guilty of this breach, and neither “Bearcap” Grey nor “Gupe” Spangler has shown any sign of life on the upper lip, and some are vain enough to say that they are shaving daily in order to impress the students with their youth Need for Science Quarters and Auditorium may be Met by Board. The sum of $500,000 to be spent In -mew buildings on the University of Oregon campus is ono of the provi sions of the bill passed by the state senate yesterday, February 21, provid ing for the expenditure of $3,000,000 of tiie $5,000,000 reconstruction bond issue, which is to be submitted to the people for their approval at the next general election, June 3, $500,000 was also given ui* the Oregon Agricultural College. "On acount of the rate at which the enrollment of the University is in creasing the most pressing need is for a new class room building,” said Karl Onthank, secretary to the president. "There are plans in construction for a number of new buildings, many more than $500,000 will build. There is an urgent need for a new Science build ing as well as for a new auditorium. No definite plans have been made as to which building we shall have first or where it shall be on the campus.” The joint coir .nittee on ways and means of the house of representatives appropriated the sum of $235,000 for the University, $100,000 of which will go to the Woman's building, provid ing that tiie students by large subscrip tions raise an equal amount. If they fail to do tliis an amount equal to the one they raise will be given In lump sums of $25,000, according to Mr. On thank. The $135,000 will go for main tenance purposes and for current ex penses. MISS HAIR IN NEW YORK Miss Mozelle Iiair, secretary of the University extension division, left Eu gene the first of the week, on a leave of absence, for New York, where she will study social secretarial work under the Y. YV. C. A. Miss Iiair expects to be gone about two months, when she will return and resume her position with the exten sion division. No one will be appointed to fill her place during her absence. THREE STUDENTS WIN ADMISSION TO SCIENCE CLUB Ada Hall, Clyde Mason and George Taylor Recognized For Sjhoisrship. Ada Hall, 'IS, and two seniors in the science department, Clyde W. Mason and George W. Taylor, have just been elected to honorary membership in the Science club of the University in pur. suance of a new policy agreed upon at a recent meeting of the club. Here after not only faculty members but al so Interested students of science will be eligible to honorary membership in the organization. The new plan is to elect each year a limited number of students, usually graduates or seniors, who have shown high scholarship and who are interest ed in scientific research. “This election is a recognition of high degree," said Dr. E. L. Packard, secretary of the or ganiatlon, “since it means the fullest appreciation of the science faculty for the scholarship and achievements of the students.” Miss Hall Publishes Works. Miss Hall graduated from the Uni versity last year and is now on the campus as a candidate for a master’s degree. She has already published several papers on scientific subjects and is now investigating the regenera tion of the nerve cord in earth worms. Mason Is a senior in the science de partment and assistant in chemistry. He was given entire charge of the chemistry classes last summer during the absence of Professor O. F. Staf ford. Taylor is a senior in the physics department. The Science club of the University was organized in 1914 by members of the science faculty with the purpose of stimulating research among its (members. A public meeting is held on the third Tuesday night in eacli month of the school year at which some mem ber of the science faculty presents a research paper on a topic in which he is particularly interested or some prominent scientist, out side of the University, is invited to speak. Based on Scholarship. During the past year qualifications for student membership in the club were not clearly defined, elections be ing based upon recommendations of members of the various departments. Acording to the new plan student hon or memberships are based upon schol arship and real or prospective scien tific achievement. Y. M.

UNIVERSITY PUIS OH HINT GIBB FOR FETETOIUI9HT Tableaux Rehearsal Brings this Feature to Prominent Place. With the arrival of Washington's birth day came the transformation of the cam pus into a quaint colonial picture. Old Windsor chairs, mahogany tables, colonial davenports, Turkish rugs, candlesticks, S and huge bowls of old fashioned lauives tine bedek the reception rooms, making them look as if they surely must belong to some eighteenth century mansion. On the stage of the Y. M. C. A. hut is a gild ed picture frame draped with a curtain of old blue to form the setting for the tableaux, which are copies of old English masterpieces portrayed by a group of University maids. The costumes for the tableaux were sent from Portland and Seattle. Mrs. John Lender was very charming at the rehearsal in a lovely rose and black cos tume as Ann Chesterfield, a tlajushor ough copy. Patty Frcl'ch as the Par son's Daughter, was also very pictur esque with her powdered hair and curls. Prominent among the guests from Port land are Miss Frances Gill and Miss Ade le Hyatt who give a part of the assembly program. Miss Gil! is giving a group of Italian and French musical numbers and she is assisted hy*Miss I)yatt at. the piano. ITer program is as follows: Italian group: Minuet .'Bocherine l’assepied .Grillot French group: Sonata .Semaillie In a Boat.Dehussy Little Shepherd .Debussy Revelry’ .Debussy Miss Gill is also giving readings from her published book called ‘‘The Little Days.” The tickets for the assembly have sold well according to Mellic Parker, business manager, but no estimate has been made yet as to the number sold. ALUMNI PROUD OF OREGON Louise Bailey Stam Writes of Wood of Phvsical Training in South. In a letter to Miss Mabel Cummings, head of the physical training department for women, Mrs. Louise Bailey Stam, Mil, who is with her husband, Lieutenant II. Beutly Stam, in Augusta, Georgia, says that she is mighty proud of the phys ical training department at the Univer sity ami also glad to he a graduate of the school. Mrs. Stam says that the south seems to be totally lacking along physical train ing lines. The children there are pale looking and stooped, she writes. It makes one want to get a hold of them. They are not even compelled to attend school, and one could see hoys and girls on the streets during school time who should he in school. The cotton mills there employ children over 12 years of age in their factories. Mrs. Stam says that when she meets graduates from Smith, Sargent and other schools she realizes what a complete course is offered to physical education majors in the University, considering the size and equipment of the school.

Villianous Burglar Turns Rescurer and Saves Four Ladies What are looked doors to « burglar? They are as nothing—this was most admirably disclosed by the little episode which took place in the basement of Johnson hull the other night at a late hour. Three would-be actors had assembled in the gray room in the basement to re hearse for a one-act skit. With them they had takt’n two kind souls who had agreed to serve as audience and critic in one. Out of this congenial party of five, hut one was a man. He took the villainous role of the burglar of the play. The rehearsal had gone w^ll. the au dience started to leave, when lo! they found the doors were locked. Slowly the cold truth dawned upon them. The diligent night watchman had been on his rounds. Visions of a chilly night iu. the hall loomed before their minds They groped their way back through long passages and dark halls to the room they had started from. Heavens! it was locked. They pound ed loudly, bat only the hollow eeho^of their efforts reverberated mockingly at them. Hurriedly they gained the top of the stairs again and this time a door slowly opened and friend burglar stepped out of the room leading to the stage. lie had crawled up a ladder through the stage trap dpor instead of follow ing the rest of the cast. The four ladies jumped promptly, not to say courageously from a window and were free at last. Need we speak of our dramatic bru- I glar in terms of “mur hero?" Wo think I he received enough praise at the time, for had he gone out the gray room door with the others it was locked on the outside—they would have spent the night: in. Johnson hall with the scholas tic records and geology rocks. Committee Mamed for Event;, Final Arranements Made For Colonial Assembly.

OREGON NOW HEADS LIST OF NORTHWEST TEAMS % Games With Aggies Next Week will- Decide Title of State. Afttir lu!viiiir defeated Hie Washing ton State College basketball team in the first game of the series at lhillmnn, Wednesday evening, hy the score of 38 lo '_‘N, the Oregoil five came hack strong in the second game Thursday evening and came out with the long end of a 13 to 37 score. The two victories scored over Washington almost makes the local five the champions of the Northwest section of the Pacific const conference. Not satisfied with the victory over the Washington Staters, the Oregon team stepped over into Idaho and took a game from the State University last night by the score of 37 to 30. The Idaho team is one of (lie host in the Northwest and has been contending that they were the real champions of the Northwest. Ore gon won the game at .Moscow hy two points ns «i reseult of the personal fouls calod on members of the Idaho team. Oregon; lias been going a million dur ing the week on tile road, and if they can keep up the good work it will he curtain' for the rest of the contenders for the championships. Without taking all of the joy out of life it might be said that if the Aggies trim the two games here next week-end the Washing ton State College will have the cham pionship. Durno Makes 63 Points .. In tin' second game Durno scored 35 points, which gave him a total of 63 points for the series with W. S. C. As Oregon’s total points scored were only SI, lOddie had the lion’s share of the fes tivity. Tlie Oregon team outplayed the Washington Staters in both games and while a great deal of credit must be given to Durno, the whole team worked well and got. away nicely. Oregon is now at the top of the list in the Northwest, having won seven games and lost three. Second rung in Hie ladder is held by W. S. ('■ with sue wins and four defeats. If the Aggies are able to win both of the contests here the championship will go to Wash ington, The O. A. C. team is going to bend every effort to score a win or two over the varsity this week-end, ns they would rather heat Oregon in basketball than eat. ’Pile Corvallis team is a strong aggregation, and they may be able to put it over Oregon. One thing is cer tain, ami that is that the Corvallis men will head every effort to do so and will put up two of the strongest games that the local fans have had a chance to wit ness in some time. Winners to Piay California If Oregon is able to dispose of the two contests with the Aggies the way they ought to go they will be in line for a jaunt to the sunny shores of Cal ifornia, where they will dash with the winners of the California state cham pionship for the championship of the iPadfic coast. The varsity will return to the cam pus Sunday evening and will have a week of good practice before ♦lie final two games of the conference. There is only one tiling that may beat the local team, and that is cockiness. The team has been going good, but if they let it go to their heads it is curtain for the chances for the championship. The games wth O. A. C. are not going to bo any pink tea affairs and the varsity will have to get dowm and dig ADVISER’S MEETING CALLED A meting of lower-division advisers has been culled for next Wednesday af ternoon at 4 o’clock in Dean Straub's room.
