, will take them to the different de
partments. Here they will be taken
in charge by guides who will take
them through their special depart
ments. They will return to the libr
ary at ten o’clock to see this build
ing at the time of its greatest con
gestion. The next hour will be spent
in visiting the campus. A few min
utes before 11 o’clock the visitors
! will be taken to the assembly hall.
Members of the committee hive
asked that all students be as prompt
as possible in getting to the assem
bly, and ask that every one attend.
A photograph will be taken of those
unable to get inside, which will be
used for propaganda purposes. The
assembly wiU he short. President
Campbell and L. L. Goodrich, down
town banker, graduate of the Uni
, versity, will give short talks, the
assembly lasting but 30 minutes. The
visiters will be given a chance to
visit Friendly and Hendricks halls,
after the assembly.

All 11 o’clock classes will be post
poned till the same time Thursday
morning. There will be no assembly
Thursday, according to statements
from the president’s office.

faculty committee for the open house,
requests that all who have been
designated as guides will meet

on 13th avenue by the library.
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.

HUH CAU ISSUED
BY CJtriMI FOSTER
CANDIDATES ASKED TO REPORT
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT
HAYWARD HALL
A call for track men was issued

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.
