HONORS FOR E. MARSHALL Story Selected as One of Beet Thirty by Americans in 1919 Edison Marshall, well known short story writer and a graduate of the University, has written Professor W. F. G. Thacher from Medford where he is just recovering from a light case of the flu, after a months trip with his new bride. “The Society of Arts and Sciences writes me,” said Mr. Marshall, “that ithey have selected ‘The Elephant Re ! members’ from Everybody’s as one of thirty stories, best written by Americans in 1919, to be gathered into a book as a memorial to O. Hen ry. Unlike O’Brien’s list, a commit tee selected the stories.” He also writes that Little Brown and Company are beginning on a grand rush for his book, and the first edition is to be 15,000 copies. “Honestly though,’- he said, “I don’t see where they can find that many book buyers.” Girls, Where's the Partner For That Leap Year Dance? “Been invited to the Leap Year party yet, Al?” “No, I’m go ing to Obak’s to spend the even ing. Want to come along?” Yes, the men are really get ting worried, some of them, be cause they haven’t been asked to the big event of the year. “Get busy girls, ask him early and show him how it’s done,” urges one member of the committee. Some of the girls have already filled out their programs com pletely so there won’t be much chance to get those choice dances if you wait much longer., “Be sure to save the seventh dance,” says Nancy Fields, who has charge of the programs, “since that’s going to be the fea ture, the secret of which will not be divulged until the last min ute.” Plans to take the men to the party in all sorts of conveyances are in the air—soThe have sug gested hauling out the old cabs used years ago to convey couples to the most formal functions. Jitneys will be used by some of the plutocrats too, but the most popular form of vehicle will be along simpler and more inexpen sive lines—there’s always the transfer wagon. The girls are determined that their partners shall not walk to this elaborate function. Decorations are being handled by Elva Bagley, Marjory Kay, Eve Hutchison, Ruth Griffin and Friederika Schilke. GIRLS GET PRACTICAL 1 NURSING EXPERIENCE Clan Work Handicapped by Lack of Proper Accommodation and Equipment Members of Hie class in home1 nursing, under tie direction of Miss May Sibald of the University in-! firmary, are doing practice wvrk gtf the infirmary during the busy hours in the morning and evening. The’ girls, who take turns with this work, spend from an hour to an hour and a half at a time helping with the patients and doing the work of nurses. “The girls are getting a lot of practical experience through this Work,” said Miss Sibald, “but utter lack of equipment is greatly hinder ing the work of the students." The class was formerly held in the in firmary annex, but the smallpox cases are isolated there, and for the past six weeks Hie girls have had to, meet in the basement of Mary Spiller hall. ’ \ “The girls are doing well with the work,” she continued, “but much better results could be attained if they had better accommodations and equipment.” Six classes meet iimthe other base-j ment room in Mary Spiller hall. The accommodations afforded these class es, of which two are two-or-three hour laboratory sessions, are only a little better than those afforded the nursing class.

M LOSE SERIES TO «KETEERS O. A. C. BABES TAKE WEEK-END CONTEST8 BY SMALL MARGIN The freshman basketball team emerged from an altogether unsuc cessful week-end in Corvallis as far as wins and losses are concerned, for the first year men succumbed twice to the superior team work and shoot ing ability of the O. A. C. rooks. The score of the first game was 21 to 17, the second 20 to 18. The frosh had hard luck in shoot ing and most of the points were made from fouls. The freshmen have been laboring under handicaps this season, but under the able tutoring of Bill Reinhart, the team is expect ed to show marked improvement be fore the next games. The freshmen play their next games on March 5 and 6, with the O- A. C. first year men, on the home floor. The contests will be prelimin ary to the varsity games with the Aggies. It is expected that there will be several changes in the lineup of the frosh as several of the men of much touted fame did not show their worth in last week’s contest, On the 26th and 27th of March the frosh travel to Salem to plaj two games with the high schoolers. in TO SENS FIVE MEN NORTH TO ENTER FORTH NEVIS MEET i Walkley, Davis, Sloan, Coleman and Ireland Are Selected to Go TEAM IS IN GOOD SHAPE i Winner in Marathon to be Sent to Olympic Tryouts—High Point Team to Receive Pennant i The individual winner in the mar ' athon through the streets of Portland 1 this Saturday in which five cross country men from the University will take part, will, in addition to being awarded a silver trophy cup be sent to the Olympic tryouts which will probably held in California.

Hendricks Seniors Humbly Wait Upon Frosh Roommates Seniors and waitress garbs and freshmen in dinner dresses, was the order of service Saturday at Hendricks hall, which was the annual Senior Service day. All the seniors answered the door bell and telephone, picked up handkerchiefs and ran errands for their freshman roommates, and took, without murmurs, the harsh scoldings administered by ' the temporary mistresses of the hall. Dinner at night was formal, and the freshmen dressed up as if they were to dine with the President. The seniors appeared in black, with white service ap rons and demure caps perched * on their excessively coifed hair, in imitation of the best French maids. 1 think we will agree, * Miss Gertrude Talbot, head resident of the hall, said to the waitresses at the close of the perfectly served courses, when the “French maids” were all lined up against the walls, waiting for orders from the freshmen, “that when you can’t do anything else, you can at least command waitress positions at seven dollars a day.” The dining room was decorated in Valentine hearts and stream ers, with ivy and candles on the tables. The work was all done by the seniors, even to pouring the water, and clearing the tables afterwards. While the freshmen danced, the seniors gathered at a special table by themselves and sighed wearily. It was the end of a weary day. Each senior has three freshmen in her suite, so some of them were very help ful. At one of the annexes, the proportion is about two seniors to eleven or so ffeshmen. Those seniors were especially weary. Senior service day is an annual event ap the hall, and is much enjoyed by the freshmen. R.O.T.C.
