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.

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

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.

Athletics to Bo Considered Monday; New
Gym to Be Visited.

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.

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
