In Triangular Series
STUDENT SUPPORT URGED
Finals to be Held Feb. 12—Question
of Settlement of Railroad Dis
putes to be Argued
With several of last year’s best de
baters back in the field and lots of
good new material, the first series of
women’s intra-mural debates for this
year will be held Tuesday, February i
3, beginning promptly at 7:30 in the
evening. Student chairmen, and the
judges, selected largely from towns
people have been appointed for the
different debates. The schedules have
all been arranged, according to Ethel
Wakefield, president of Women’s For
ensic League.
All teams will stay in the ring
whether they win or lose Tuesday
night and debate in the second series
on Thursday night. Entirely new
schedules are being arranged for the
second series, and in some cases there
will be different judges. The four
teams then having the highest num
ber of points will compete in the
third debate, Febrmsry 10. The two
teams with the highest points will
then meet in the last series on Feb
ruary 12.
Women Out to Win
The work of the women debaters
has a new aim this year because of
the opportunity for a Varsity trip.
“The University of Washington and
Oregon Agricultural College will be
the teams in the first triangle that
Oregon will meet,” said Laura Rand,
vice-president of Women’s Forensic
League, “and we will need the best
material Oregon has to offer. The
women have felt this growing need
and have risen as a body to meet the
call.”
“They are out to win. The Varsity
is not only a personal honor,” she con
tinued, “but a college honor, and the
best we have will be none too good.”
“The support of the entire student
body is urged at this first round on
Tuesday,” said Miss Wakefield, “and
if this support is given the women
will feel that they are backing a worth
while movement.” '
The question to be debated is, “Re
solved, That the principles of the
Canadian industrial investigation act
of 1907 should be applied to all dis
putes between the railroads and their
employees.”

by the Interchurch World Movement,
according to Dean F. G. Young, of
the graduate school, and head of the
sociology departmetn. The survey,
which is being made over the couni

an aid to good roads, better farming,
wholesome recreation, and other im
provements of conditions for every
one.
Dean Young: is to have charge of
the city of Eugene and will direct the!
field work, which will be done by stu
dents of his department. The chief
elements in the social, economic and
religious life of Eugene will be anal
yzed by a canvass of every household
and a detailed study of every block.
Rev. J. D- Boyd, graduate student,
will have charge of the survey out
side of Eugene. He has specialized in
sociology as well as theology and will
write his account upon the facts which
he ascertains by visits to the various
churches and communities of the coun
ty.
A conference is planned to be held
in Portland on March 3 to 5, at which
over a thousand pastors of the state
are expected.

SWEETSER TALKS TO GIRLS
Lectures on “The Biologist’s Relig
ion" at Meeting of Y.W.C.A.
“The Biologist’s Religion” was the
subject of a lecture delivered by Prof,
j A. R. Sweetser at a meeting of the
I Y. W. C. A. Thursday evening. The
talk was illustrated by stereoptican
slides, treating with the views of dif
ferent biologists on the subject.

I which was attended by ajbout 100 girls.
EIGHT LETTER MEN

Practice Starts Early In March;
Prospects for Fast Team
Looming Big
TWIRLING STAFF STRONG
Game Scheduled With O. A. C. for
Junior Week-erjd—Inland Em
pire Trip Promised
Eight letter men in the University,
and a wealth of other good material
handy for almost every position on
the nine, make pre-season prospects |
for a winning baseball team this j
spring look mighty goqd. “Shy” Hunt
ington thinks, after looking over his
dope sheet.
“What we need,” said “Shy,” “is
to develop a good catcher and one
good right handed pitcher. Our weak
est point right now is behind the bat
for we have no real experienced re-;
ceiver.”
Shy seemed quite pleased with his
pitching staff prospects which include
three good southpaws, and four right
handers listed. The lack of a tried
right handed slabster is his only wor
ry there.
“The man who makes the infield
this year will have to be able to hit,”
he continued as he named over thir
teen or fourteen men. “Every man
in the list is a pretty good man, and
I feel safe right now so far as de
fensive playing is concerned.”
Outfield Men Experienced
Three letter men are back with out
field experience, and additional new
material as well. Shy also plans on
using some of his best hitting pitch
ers there when not working in the box
if he needs them.
“We can be sure of a fast and hard
hitting outfield,” “Shy” said.
Practice will start as early in March
as the weather permits. The basket
ball season ends on March 5, and
“Shy” hopes to have his men on the
diamond by that ^ime if possible.
Nick Wiliams, manager of the Moose
Jaw team in the Western Canada
League wishes to bring his team to
Eugene for ten days about the first
of April, and “Shy” is planning to
get him here if possible.
“That will give us a game every
night with good fast men, and the
help of a mighty good professional
baseball man for our own players,”
he explained. Dick Nelson, former
varsity first sacker, who is now in
college but ineligible for the team,
will probably handle the freshmen
this season.
Schedule Not Complete
A complete schedule will not be ar
ranged until a meeting of northwest

OF PIONEER STUDENT
Mrs. Ada Millican Registers At
University for Training
As Special Writer
CAMPUS MUSEUM DREAM
Relics of Red Men Collected From 8?
Native Tribes—Old Names for
Historic Sites Hobby
Oregon acquired a distinguished
new stuSent this week.
She is Mrs. Ada B. Millican, of
Prineville, who has come to the Uni
versity to acquaint herself with meth
ods of writing ' so that she can pen
some of her Indian legends and myths.
For six years Mrs. Millican taught
among the Indians in Arizona and it
was during this time that she heard
the deep dark secrets of the red man 1
and put them down in her note book
for future use. These legends will
become extinct soon if someone doesn’t
preserve them, so she intends to bind
some up in little volumes of her own.
She has a great collection of relics
gathered from the red men, more than
enough to fill a large room, and some
day, she confided, this famous collec
tion may grace the state university
campus, for it is her present intention
to leave at least a part of her relics
here. “In fact, I have a dream,” said
the woman, “of a long low bungalow
placed somewhere near your Pioneer
to house just such collections -as Dr.
Condon’s and mine. The University
needs a museum and I can’t think
of anything more appropriate than
such a rustic building for my Indian
collection.” ,
“Smile At Indian,” She Says
“Just smile at an Indian and you
can get anything from him,” declar
ed Mrs. Millican. So she smiled all
the time and got everything she want
ed. Around her neck she wears a
necklace made of valuable bits of
turquoise. The Indians gathered these
stones from the ruins and drilled the
holes in them with other stones.
They scoured the reservation for three
and one half years before they found
the twelve pieces she now has. One
is set in a ring for her finger and
another is set in a Swastika pin The
Indians wore them as talismen but she
wears them because they are unlike
anything anybody else has, she ex
plained proudly. Such jewelry could
not be duplicated anywhere now.
Her collection of Indian relics repre
sents curios from 87 different tribes
and includes pottery, all kinds of bask
ets, knives, beaded work, jewelry and
other things.
Indian Names Best
Another of this Oregon woman’s
hobbies is the preserving of old Ind
ian names in the state. “It’s a shame
t;hat Salem, the old council ground of
the Indians, could not have kept its
original name Chemeketa, meaning
council ground, which would have been
so significant for the state capital
today,” she declared. “Portland
should never have been called any

Pierrot is the name given to the life
sized anatomical model which has just
arrived this week from France, and
is gracing the office of Miss Mabel
Cummings, director of physical train
ing for women. He is rather an ex
pensive model as he cost $490 which
is 40 per cent more than if he had
been purchased before the war.

OREGANA MEEDS 1200
SUBSCRIPTIOISIO MEET
EXPOSES THIS YEAR
Elston Ireland Begins Work
Early On Circulation
Problem
BOOK WILL BE LARGER
Increased Cosst of Printing Place
Heavy Burden on Management
—Must Come Out Even
Elston Ireland, newly appointed cir
culation manager of the Oregana, has
almost completed his plans for launch
ing a subscription campaign in the
near future for the Oregon year book.
Definite dates or methods can not be
announced until student council acts
on the matter but Ireland expects to
launch his drive early in February.
“We must sell 1200 Oreganas this
year to break even,” Ireland stated in
discussing his plans, “and that means
practically a 100 per cent subscription
from the entire University enrolls
meat.”
The Oregana, Ireland pointed out,
is one of the most treasured me
mentos of the University graduate,
and is the official dope book of the
undergraduate, as well. While the
first cost of it is high it is something
which gains added value as the years
go by.
“Every student should have an Ore
gana,” he declared, “and in the circu
lation campaign we will try to con
vince everyone that he can not afford
to be without one.”
Cost of Printing High
Helen Manning, editor of the year
book, says that contracts both for
engraving and printing have gone up
from ten to twenty per cent over last
year’s costs. This has not resulted in
the cheapening of the book in any
way, but has placed a much heavier
financial burden on the management
than usual. The editorial staff is do
ing everything in their power' to pre
pare the best book possible under the
circumstances. Acting on the advice
of Graduate Manager Marion McClain,
whe is seeking to have the Oregana
at last placed on a self supporting
basis, the management has decided
to charge $4.50 for the book this year.
In the subscription campaign which is
soon to be waged $1-50 will be collect
ed at the time the subscription is
taken and the remaining $3.00 on de
livery of the book.
“Everyone that subscribes,” said
Ireland, “is sure of getting his book
and no one can say that he is paying
money for something he will not re
ceive. The deposit is only safeguard
ing the management in printing the
required number of Oreganas.”
Hook to Be Larger
The Oregana this year will have 450
pages, and while the price is higher
than usual it is moderate when com
pared to similar publications put out
by other universities throughout the
country. The price on most of these
has been $6.00 or more for several
years past, both Ireland and Miss
Manning pointed out.
While the greater part of the sales
of the Oregana must be looked for
from the present student body, Ire
land expects to get many subscriptions
from the alumni. This is especially
true of the class of '19 whose Univer
sity record is completed in this year’s
publication. He is planning to send a *
circular letter to each member of this
class and expects to get many orders
for books from them.
As a parting word he advises every
one to have his $1.50 ready as he
wishes to close the subscription drive
in record time. “The other $3.00 are
too far away to worry about now,” he
remarked.
Battalion Pictures Taken
