Set for Visitors
Colin V. Dyment, formerly professor
of journalism at the University, will
be one of the big figures on the pro
gram of the first annual Oregon
newspaper conference to be held on the
campus April 25 and 26. Mr. Dyment,
as a Bed Cross searcher in France and
Belgium pulled off the biggest hit of
journalistic enterprize on the western
front by getting the names and iden
tifications and the story now running
in the Portland Oregonian, of how
every man in the 91st division who
was killed, came to his death.
While the regular sessions of the
conference will be devoted to the busi
ness and mechanical sides of the news
paper profession there will be lots of
life, sparkling addresses, a little music
and a whole lot of good fellowship.
There will be two banquets, one given
by the chamber of. commerce at the
club rooms on Friday evening and the
other by the Hendricks Hall girls,
Friday noon.
Dr. Campbell to Speak
The toast master at the Friday
evening banquet will be Dr. P. L.
Campbell, president of the University
and himself formerly a reporter on the
Kansas City Star in the early days of
Colonel William K. Nelson. C. E.
Ingalls of Corvallis, president of both
the Willamette Valley and the Oregon
State Editorial associations and E. E.
Brodie of Oregon City, former presi
dent of the state association will be
among the speakers.
The Friday afternoon session will
be devoted to advertising and the
Saturday morning session to printing.
The social end of the conference will
be, to a considerable extent, in the
hands of the women’s auxiliary of the
Eugene chamber of commerce whose
members will help entertain the wives
of the visiting men during the busi
ness sessions, which they may not care
to attend.
Program for Banquet
‘ The program at the Chamber of Com
merce banquet will be; Toastmaster,
Dr. P. L. Campbell who edits and
manages the University of Oregon and
who is always reminded of a story.
Welcome to our fair city,1 E. C.
Simmons, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, who is a good circulation
man, if you can judge by the way
he circulates.
Thank you, C. E. Ingalls, president
of most everything, who tries hard,
but who just can’t forget Kansas and
the G. O. P.
The traveling convention next sum
mer, E. E. Brodie, who is going to see
that the Pacific coast gets her rights
in the way of national publicity from
next August on.
Some really bright editors, Miss
Erma Zimmerman, student, who edited
the last number of Oregon Exchahges,
will take this opportunity of telling
what papers in Oregon are worth at
tacking with the shears, and why. She
says she will name names.
Reporting on No Man’s land and
getting the names right; what my
newspaper training means to me there,
Colin V. Dyment, who pulled off the
biggest journalistic stunt on the west
ern front.
Thirty, Lloyd Riches (though maybe
he’s only about 27), secretary of the
State Editorial association, just back
from the wars.
Fifty Expected to Attend
Replies already received to the invi-,
tations sent out by Dean Allen indicate
that not fewer than fifty will attend
the conference. Of the replies thus

Col. Leader Makes
New Record and Has
Time to Figure It
Colonel John Leader and his Bill
are always making records, of some
sort, but this story is not about Bill. It
would have been, the only reason, he
wasn’t there, was that he wasn’t al
lowed. If Bill had been there, but he
wasn’t. One of the saddest things
about Colonel Leader’s taking trips is
that he has to leave his dog behind.
He had been tempted to smuggle him
along but the colonel can down tempta
tion.
You see, Colonel Leader has just
returned from another of his long trips.
When he is on the rampus he is always
kept so busy that he doesn’t have much
time for statistics, but on his long train
trips and sleepness nights, when he
doesn’t have Bill around he has time
to think things out.
He has discovered that in the last
three months he has spoken 41 times.
If he had been traveling all of this
time, he wouldn’t have thought much
of this record, but he has made only
a few trips. The way it happens is
that the Colonel is so popular that
wherever he goes he always has to
make more than his scheduled speeches
before he leaves, speaking at least
three times in one day. And then,
wherever he goes there are luncheons
and dinners in his honor and he must
be the principal speaker and so it goes.
Him BOWEN
WILL LEAVE OREGON
R. O. T. C. Commandant Gets
Word He Will Soon be Re
leased from Service
Word that Colonel W. H. C. Bowen,
who has been in command of the R. O.
T. C. since January, and of the S. A.
T. C. at* the University last fall, and
was assistant to Colonel John Leader
during the two officers ’ training camps
conducted here last summer, is expect
ing order for his release from the ser
vice, was received on the campus yes
terday. Colonel Bowen received the
communication from Washington Sun
day stating that the orders would reach
him in the near future, as all former
retired officers in the United States
army, who re-entered the service dur
ing the war, are being relieved and re
placed by returned active officers.
Colonel Bowen entered the army in
1876 and retired in 1914, after having
had eight years’ service in the Philip
pines to his credit, which is more than
any other Colonel in the army has had
in the islands.
He was appointed from civil life by
General Grant, in Omaha, Nebraska.
He first served at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, then was sent to Fort Reno,
Oklahoma, which was at that time In
dian Territory. He was with the 5th
infantry and was promoted from second
lieutenant to lieutenant colonel after
serving for two years through the In
dian campaigns in Montana and Da
kota. He was in Cuba for one year and i
in 1900 was sent to the Philippines
where he was appointed the first civil j
governor of the Province of Abra. In j
1909 he was made a Colonel in the:
12th infantry and returned to the Uni
ted States in 1912 and was command
ing officer at Monterey and the Pre- j
sidio until 1914, when he was retired
and became commandant of the vet
erans ’ home in California, for two
years.
Colonel Bowen will remain in Eu
gene with his family until the close
of the college year in order that his
daughter, Miss Gwladys Bowen may
complete her studies at the University.
Then they will return to the home in
San Francisco.
Word has not yet been received as
to who will take Colonel Bowen’s place
with the R. O. T. C. but it is expected
that Lieutenant Colonel Baird, as the
next senior officer in command, will be
appointed his successor.

It was found that Women’s League
had cleared $500 this year for the
Women’s building when a financial re
port for the colonial assembly and April
Frolic was submitted to the executive

With all coitumes, rentals and other
expenses paid, $144.52 was cleared on
the colonial assembly, according to
Mellie Parker, manager of the fete.
This amount is to be turned directly
over to L. H. Johnson at the business

Reba Macklin, announced that $67.60
profit was made from April Frolic;
and this too goes into the big fund.
A committee to arrange for the cam
j>us luncheon at junior week-end will
also be announced today.
In the absence of Harriet Garrett,

AMBULANCE BOYS ARRIVE
Plans for Big Reception in Eugene are
Under Way
The ambulance unit which served dur
ing the war as the 361st Ambulance
company with the 91st division, has ar
rived in port according to telegrams re
ceived Sunday by many of the parents
of the boys.
The unit returns intact except the
leader, Captain John Eberle Kuyken
dall, ’08, of the University, who after
leading his men safely through the
Argonne drive, succumbed to disease
while at the port waiting for transpor
tation home.
The ambulanse company was organ
ized by Captain Kuykendall as essen
tially a University of Oregon unit and
many of the University men joined the
company.
Telegrams were received Sunday
from Ian Campbell, Charles Huggins,
Glen Hunter, Harold Jenkins, Thomas
Campbell, Harry F. Bailey, John H.
Bevtein, Dan Fisher, Albert Campbell,
Orville Dean, Bert King, Lester El
blom, Charles Warnock, Ray Bower and
Charles Morgenson.
Details of the big reception are al
ready under way and it is hoped to
learn definitely the exact time of the
arrival of the boys from Camp Lewis.
It is presumed that they are now on
their way across the continent.
OHM TO SPEAK
ON WESTERN MEN
Journalist-Red Cross Officer Will
Tell in Assembly of
Heroes’ Deaths
Western Men at the Arngonne” is
the subject on which Colin V. Dyment
will speak at the assembly on Wednes
day morning, at 10 o’clock, in Villard
hall. This was the announcement made
in a letter received from him at the
President's office. Mr. Dyment who
is now the head of the journalism
school at the University of Washing
ton, recently returned with the 01st
division with which he was attached
as a Red Cross searcher.
His talk will be especially interest
ing, according to Karl Onthauk, secre
tary to the President, because of his
wide acquaintance with the western
men through his work at both the Uni
versities of Oregon where he was
an instructor in the Sehool of Journal
ism, and Washington. Many men from
these colleges were in the 91st and the
speaker will have intimate tales of
their army life to toll.
As the author of a story of the 91st
division, Mr. Dyment has gained a
great deal of recognition. The story
has been running in several of the
northwest papers, and gives the com
plete details of the deaths of western
men who were killed in service.
Mr. Dyment will come to the campus
on Tuesday afternoon or evening and
will stop over in Portland on the way
here to fill an engagement made for
him by the Red Cross there to meet
the relatives of those men who were
killed in service, and give them any
details of their death that he may
haye.
He hopes to be able to remain over
for the first Oregon Newspaper Con
ference that will be held on the campus
the last of the week, when he is sched
uled to teil of the history he has
written.
SEABECK TO BE DISCUSSED
Girls Interested in Summer Session at
Seaside Will Meet
Girls, aren’t you sorry that you did
not go to Seabeck last year? Then you
could go to the picnic which the girls
who have gone to Seabeck and those
who are interested in going this year
are going to have tomorrow night when
they first meet at the Bungalow at 6
o’clock, and then hike off some place
and have a “weenie” roast.
Judging from the girls who went last
year and the number who are planning
on going this year, the affair ought to
be “some peppy,” as Essie Maguire,
Y. W. C. A. Seabeck chairman would
say.
REGISTRATION PLAN UP
Questionnaire to Faculty Asks Com
parlson of Old and New Systems
The faculty committee on registra
tion has sent a questionnaire to the
various professors asking them their
preference in regard to registration
systems. The desirability of the old
system whereby the students secured
the signatures of all their professors
before registering in a new class as
opposed to the ew system whereby
the students make out class record
cards and the registrar sends them to
the professors who do not know the
number of students registering in their
courses is the mooted question.
Under the new system the students
were saved innumerable jaunts back 1
and forth between buildings hunting
for professors to sign their cards; ;
while at the same time the professors
do not get their records completed for
two or three weeks after the beginning
of a new term because the students
cards do not come in and under the
University rules a student is not sup
posed to be recognized in a class until
he is duly registered therein.
The questionnaire sent to the faculty
asks their opinion of the speed, the
advisability, the objections to both sys
tems and any improvements to be inadf
in either system to make it more
practical.
K. K. K. Press Agent
Just Wild About
Show; Raves On
The persistent publicity man says, in
part:
“Just four more days until Satur
day and the big K. K. K.. Those mys
tic letters stand for Kollege Kids Kar
nival, and believe me, brother, that’s
what she's going to be. A Karnival
spelt with a capital K—an occasion
which will spoel joy for every Oregon
man and woman.
“Plans for the big affair are being
well worked out this week by commit
tees composed of Order of the O men.
Every organization on the campus is
arranging a side show for a part of
the Karnival which will be given in
the men’s gymnasium, and judging
from reports they are going to be stunts
of a mysterious, sensational and daring
nature. Also a committee composed
of Stan Anderson and Carter Brandon
is running up the electric light bills at
their respective houses, oy sitting up
all night planning the features of the
big prize Karnival dance in tho wom
en 's gymnasium during the evening.
Tho prize will probably consist of a
nicely polished brick which will be
used as the corner stone for the new
women's building. Perk up, you artists
of the polished floor and get out after
the new prize.”
The press agent, being now thorough
ly warmed up, rhapsodizes on, as fol
lows, insisting on big type:
‘ ‘ The big carnival will last for but
one day—Saturday evening, April 26.
It will absolutely be the greatest col
lection of wonders ever gathered to
gether under one roof.
SENSATIONAL!
DARING!
MYSTIFYING!
“Don’t fail to see: The sensational
Aerial Novelties. Muriel, the Marvelous,
Mastodonic Hysterical Movie Manipu
lator. The amwdng, artistic Acrobatic
Atrocities. Winnie, the Wild Woman,
captured in the Jungles of Corvallis.
Bouncing Bill and his Bounding Bluf
ferous Boob Boys.
“Curious, captivating chorus charms
will romp for the approval of the spec
tators. An evening of hilarious, side
splitting, riotous mirth. Also present
ing for the first time in America,
PreScott’s Premier, Posterures in Posi
tively, Paralyzing Poses.
‘ ‘ Remember the date and look for
more next Thursday,’’ he says, in ex
hausted conclusion.
CONCERT AND DANCE
Difficult, Interesting Program
To Be Offered at Armory
Friday Evening
The Men’s Band is going to give the
students and towns people a rare treat
in the form of a band concert and
dance in the Armory next Friday
evening April 25, at 8 p. in.
It will offer an unusually difficult
and interesting progj-am; some of the
selections are played by Sousa’s and
other famous bands. The music for
the (lance, furnished by the band, will
be the very latest “jazz” full of life
and ‘ ‘ pep, ’ ’ according to Albert Per
fect, director.
This is the fourth year for the Uni
versity band and never before has it
undertaken to produce such a concert.
Mr. perfect hopes that everyone will
do his part to support the organization.
Success depends a great deal upon the
support of the students. He says this
is a chance for the students to all give
it a boost in that direction.
Hereafter the band will play for
military drill.
The State Editors, who will be here
this week have been invited to the
concert as guests of the band.
Tickets may be bought from any
member, of the band and from Mr.
Perfect himself. They will be 25 cents
for concert and 25 cents for the dance
after.

Track Meet Transferred from Eu
gene—Tryouts Set for
Next Saturday
ACTIVE SEASON IS NEAB
Athletes to Compete Each Week
End—Men Improve Fast
Good Weather
OREGON TRACK SCHEDULE
April 26—Varsity tryouts on Kin
caid field.
May 3—Multnomah-Oregon Meet in
Portland.
May 9—O. A. C.-Oregon Meet in
Eugene.
May 10—State Interscholastic Track
Meet in Eugene.
May 17—University of Washington
Oregon Meet in Eugene.
May 24 — Northwest Conference
Meet at Pullman.
May 31—Pacific Coast Conference
Meet at Seattle.
The date for the dual meet between
Multnomah and Oregon has been defi
nitely set for May 3, at Portland. This
puts an end to the rumor that the
track meet would be staged here.
Multnomah has an aggregation of
stars to run against “Bill” Hayward’s
squad, and will provide a lot of good
experience for the Oregon men. The
hopes of Oregon’s winning the meet are
rather slim, but some of the wearers
of the green may spring a surprise in
the Portland meet.
This Saturday Kincaid field will be
the scene of another tryout meet. Every
man entered for any event will compete
against all others who are out for that
event. 'Tins means quite a lively after
noon for most of the men.
After the Multnomah meet the var
sity team will have one meet every
week-end until the close of the sea
son, May 31. The O. A. C. meet fol
lows the Portland meet and will be one
of the features of junior week-end. The
week following that Washington comes
to Eugene for a dual meet, and then on
the following week-ends the North
west conference meet at Pullman and
the Pacific coast conference meet at
Seattle will be held.
Good Weather Helps
The improvement in the weather has
helped a great deal in the work of the
track men. Every evening finds the
field alive with white-suited athletes
cavorting about the track, while “Bill”
Hayward keeps his eye on every one
and gives a word or two of advice
where needed.
The tryouts Saturday will probably
determine the final varsity team. The
freshmen team may also be picked at
that time. In many respects the freeh
inen will have a better balanced team
than the varsity, and track fans expect
several freshmen to romp home winners
in the Saturday tryouts.
Several of the varsity men seein not
to be putting their best into the work
lately, thinks Hayward. Lots of the
men are holding back in their work,
he said, “and I cannot understand it.”
He looks for a better showing now,
however, as the meets are so elose, and
the weather has been improving lately.
Dow Wilson Out Again
“How” Wilson is again out for
track, and he has added much hope to
the rest of the men out. Wilson proved
to be a good man in the Columbia meet
in Portland.
0. A. C. had the advantage of a large
covered armory in which to work out
during the bad weather of the last
week or two, but now the weather man
has given Oregon a chance. Under the
present conditions, the team ought to
be improving daily, and according to
those who are out watching the pro
gress of the team from the bleachers,
it is making up lost ground.
