CHALLENGES OREGON MERMAIDS FOR SPRING MEET Acceptance Hinges On Interest Among Girls, Says Instructor A challenge has been received by Loeta Rogers, manager of swimming for girls, from the department of physical education at the Oregon Agricultural College, for a swim ming meet between the women of the University of Oregon and O. A. C., to be held here early in the spring term. ‘Whether this chal lenge will be accepted or not will depend on the number of girls that turn out for swimming from now on,” said Miss Rogers. The four people making the high est number of points in each class will be eligible for the final inter class swimming meet. The captain of each class team will be the per son making the greatest number of points in her class. The events of the meets will be: plunge for distance, side, back, front and crawl strokes for form; four dives, one length for speed, and two1 lengths for speed in the races. In order to encourage enthusiasm,! Miss Rogers has appointed a repre- j sentative in each house to stir up: interest in swimming.

COLLEGE SWIMMERS It BE LIFE MS TEN MEN AND SIX GIRLS QUAL IFY FOR MEMBERSHIP IN CAMPUS CORPS A branch of the American Red Cross life saving corps has been organized at the University with ten, men and six girls qualifying for membership. The men are Joe Hedges, Stuart Barager and Allan Carson, who bear the title of ex aminers, and Sard W. Weiss, James H. King, Glen R. Hyde, Austin Hazard, Frederick Howard, Albert Capp and Newton Langerman. The six women named are Jean ette Moss, Dorothy Reed, Helen Nel son, Valiere Coffey, Marion Nicolai, and Emily Veazie. They will be known as the women’s life saving corps of the University of Oregon, a separate organization from the men’s. In cnse of a mill race accident these people will be called on either for rescuing purposes, or to resus citate the victim. Often times, Mr. Longfellow pointed out, a person hav ing been under water for some time, dies after being brought to the sur face merely because no one under stands ' the proper method of reviv-' ing him. Mr. Longfellow, in his lecture in ViUard hall, explained his mission and told several reasons why the American Red Cross thought it nec essary to organize life saving sta tions or chapters in all towns of any size. ‘‘There are 2f>,00(> deaths in the United States every year due to suffocation, 6,000 of these are cases of drowning," said Mr. Longfellow, "so you can realize the importance of a systematic study of life saving and resuscitation. Since the Red Cross has taken up the work the drownings have decreased on the average of 600 a year. Thirty-four lives were saved on the Florida beach last year by this work.” Craftsmen Postpone Dinner The dinner dance announced by the Craftsmen for March 6 has been postponed until some date next term, according to announcement made yes terday by Newton Bader, president Don’t forget the new Anchorage tea house.
