Are you out for the prize in the
Oregana campaign? If so see Els
ton Ireland at once for tags, receipt
book and instructions, and be ready
for an early start on next Wednes
day, February 10.
“It’s the one that turns In the first
50 subscriptions who wins,” said
George Beggs, Oregana manager and
generalissimo of the drive, today
while explaining his plans. Five dol
lars cash and an Oregana goes to
the solicitor turning in the first 50
subscriptions; an Oregana to the sec
ond one to turn in 50 subscriptions;
and an Oregana to the first house
to go 100 per cent in the drive.
Far from feeling discouraged in
launching another campaign for
money close on the heels of so
many collection plate passings, Ire
land declares that .this one will be
put over in record time. In the first
place, he says, everyone recognizes
the true value of the Oregana as a
permanent possession, and knows
that it is money well spent. Other
campaigns have started money to
circulating, and more than that nave
demonstrated the most successful
methods, and have indicated the live
wire solicitors in the University.
Two Days to Complete Drive
“We are out for 1200 subscrip
tions,” said Ireland. “The Oregana
needs them, and we are going to do
our utmost to have it over in two
days. If possible we will close our
campaign Thursday evening.” He in
dicated that the prize winner would
have to be out early if they expect
to win
“They’ll have to keep mighty busy
and will have no time to waste,” he
said. “Let everyone have his $1.50
Wednesday morning and not spoil
anybody’s chances for tfie prize.”
The price this year is $4.50, but the
remaining $3.00 is not due until the
book is delivered.

Ireland says that he does not feel
in asking for Oregana subscriptions
from students that he is asking for
more than the support which is due
the publication, from each individual.
The Oregana is a student body pub
lication, issued solely for the bene
fit of the students. Each student
must own a copy to get his full
share of it, and he should look upon
the subscription committee as work
ing for him and taking a burden off
his shoulders.
Limited Number to be Printed
He pointed out too that the only
way to be sure of a copy of the year
book is to order in advance. Only
a limited number is printed, and
that number is not greatly in excess
of those ordered in advance.
Ireland intends to conduct the cam
paign largely on the plan recently
used for the Emerald. He feels that
a great deal depends upon the indi
vidual members of the committees
and has sought to find just the right
one to take charge of each house. It
is hoped to have every organization
go 100 per cent as soon as possible.
Two general committees are includ
ed, one to handle the campus, and
the other to take charge of the town.
Tags will be used, and a tag is
taken as the only valid excuse in
evading a solicitor- Those in charge
of the drive wish to make it dear
that any student is free to enter the
subscription contest whether he has
been named on a committee or not.
The naming of committees has only
been* to place responsibility and in
sure enough workers.
Newspaper Plant Installed

stalling a complete newspaper plant
f for the department of journalism at
a cost of |80,000.

“We don't know what will happen
to the one girl in the class, Marian
Nicolai,” said Dean Lawrence, “as
this is to be a stag affair.”
Before the program, the problems

ImpromtpuVodvil Tickles Us Some
Order of “O” Tortures Neophytes
Many humorous and ridicu
lous stunts were pulled off at
the initiation of the Order of
the “O” which was held be
tween halves of the Oregon-W.
S- C. basket ball game. Im
mediately after the firing of the
pistol ending the first half of.
the game “Mart” Howard ran
to the center of the floor and
led the spectators in a yell.
Needless to say he was the only
person yelling. He was follow
ed by various other stunts.
Leith Abbott, as manager of the
famous pole vaulter, “Si” Starr,
created much laughter. He in
troduced Starr who appeared in
a track suit and Starr then did
some “fancy” pole vaulting such
as it was claimed by his man
ager was much in vogue at O.
A. C.
“Spike Leslie and Merle
Blake dressed as an old man at*d
a woman pushed a cart upon the
floor in which Bill Reinhart
dressed as a baby sat spraying
his feet with a disinfectant.
Prince Callison showed his
ability to dance and even shim
my when an almost life size
cardboard of Nozimova was giv
en him as a dancing partner. It
was as some remarked a good
thing that Prince was a good
dancer as otherwise he might
have stepped on the unshod feet
of the famous actress.
John Gamble gave a speech on
Sunday baseball playing at the
same time that John Houston
proposed to the crowd of girls
present. “Jiggs” Leslie sang a
song much to the amusement of
all present.
As a final to the initiation
each man received a stroke from
the paddle and then was given
his certificat eof membership.
The Order of the “O’’ is an
organization composed of the
etter men of the University.
Only men who have earned the
official “0” .in some form of

Lemon-Yellow Excelled In Teamwork
and Passing—Long Trip Has Little
Effect on Visitors
Oregon lost one of the closest, and
most exciting games ever played on
the home floor, to the Washington
State college basketball team Thurs
day evening, by of 29-27 score. The
game was full of thrill's, as it was
either team’s game until the last
whistle. Although the cougars had
just returned from a long southern
trip their team was in good condi
tion. Oregon was excelled by the
visitors in teamwork. Even so the
lemon-yellow outfit worked togeth
er better than at any time on the
home floor. The passing of the
Washington team was one of the
essentials of their victory.
Latham won the jump over King,
and the ball immediately went into
the visitor’s territory. After a num
ber of fruitless attempts by Ore
gon, Durno tallied the first score of
the game by one of his long shots.
Durno scored another on a pass from
Lind.
W. S. C. took the ball directly
down the floor by good passing, and
Rockey shot their first basket Lath
am dropped one in from the side of
the floor. Most of the time the
ball was under Oregon’s basket. Dur
no shot two baskets one after an
other.
For the remainder of the first
half Oregon had a distinct advantage
in the score. Not once did W. S.
C. seem to have a superior machine.

ARCHITECTS WILL JUDGE
Student Designs to be Criticized by
Portland Men
M. H. Whitehouse and A. E. Doyle
prominent Portland architects, will
be on the campus next Wednesday,
if the present plans of the architec
ture department mature, according
to Louis C. Rosenburg, instructor
in architectural design.
“The architects are coming to
judge the designs of students. It is
the policy of the department to have
outsiders judge • the merits of our
students’ work,” said Mr. Rosen
burg. “This eliminates any tend
ency that an instructor may have
toward pwticality to individual stu
dents, and keeps the student in
touch with men active in the pro
fession.”
The architects will be asked to
criticise designs of cathedrals, monu
mental flag pole bases, doorways
and bank and office buildings. Each
of these problems required from
three to four weeks’ work stated
Professor Rosenberg.
59 of Faculty Resign
Fifty-nine members of the Ohio
State university faculty have re
signed in the last year. Low salaries
are given the cause.
Grldsters to Meet for First Time
The University of Washington will
meet Montana on the gridiron next
October 16, for the first time in the
history of the Institutions.

Second Half
SPIRITED CLASH ENDS 19-22
Team Shows Effect of Gruelling
Battle With W. S. C.
Thursday
Hard luck, coupled with the ac
curate shooting of Jamieson, the
rangy center on the Washington five,
spelled defeat for the lemon-yellow
quintet in a ragged and loosely play
ed game last night in Hayward gym
nasium. Neither team played much
basket ball and not until the mid
dle of the last period did the team*
work or floor work measure up to
that of the game Thursday evening
with W. S- C. Oregon took the lead
from the jump and maintained it
throughout the first half and well
into the last period when Washing
ton, by a series of lucky shots by
Jamieson, pulled into the lead and
managed to keep it until the final
shot of the timer's gun.
Oregon arew nrsc Diooa wnen Man
erud hooped a free throw a few
momenta after the game started,
this was followed by a burst of
speed by the varsity, Chapman, Man
erud and Latham carrying the ball
down the floor where Latham shot
a pretty basket. Jamieson' scored
soon after this for the northerners,
while 'Manerud and Chapman carried
the ball down the floor, again for a
pretty basket by Chapman. Nichol
son scored a basket for the Wash
ington five on a pretty throw from
the side lines, and two free throws
scored by Cook completed the Wash
ington tallies during the first period.
Chapman and Manerud each scored
a basket from the field during the
remainder of the initial period and
Manerud converted another free
throw, the half ending with Oregon
on the long end of a 10 to 6 score.
Huntington Shifts Line-up
The Northerners led off with a
pretty basket by Talbot in the sec

a nice long one after which followed

part of both teams. At this period
